Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
On the topic for the Princess species: Alicorn simply sounds better than Pegacorn or any other clunky alternitive. It's a bit like saying young dragons cannot be called Drakes because Dragonling or Hatchling is more "proper".
I would put it into terms like this: You either order the battleship docked outside to fire, or you can fire a handgun. Are you realy going to order the battleship to fire when your in a room with a few hundred ponies to squash a bug?
Just look at the faces. My gosh, I expect memes flowing from this.

I... Don't see the big fannon deal in the comic pages? I mean, sure, that last picture has a lot of ponies on it, but that's just a splash page, it's not like there's anything else to do on that."Okay, so I'm going to quick draw and dual wield these one-pound caltrops as improvised weapons..."

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
And this is why I love this thread. For awesome random facts of win.
Plus looking at the alternatives the rest just sound so bad. Alicorn sounds like a real word (being a real word and all ) as well as sounds appropriately regal. However I would find it highly amusing if the ponies of Equestria don't actually have a name for the Princess' species and we get a scene where ponies argue about the correct name for the species.Spoiler: I'm a writer!Spoiler: Check out my fanfiction[URL="https://www.fanfiction.net/u/7493788/Forum-Explorer"here[/URL]

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
So, the first ever fan-made episode has been released.
Dusk's Dawn
The writing, acting, and animation are all somewhat stilted and clearly amateur, but the fact that this actually got made at all is a testament to the dedication of the community. On top of that, they do look like they have a story to tell and I'm curious to see where they go.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Alicorn is a portmanteau: Ali- is a common English prefix that comes from the latin "ala", wing. -Corn comes strait of Latin - "cornus", horn. Alicorn literally means wing-horn. If anything, the alchemists were using the word wrong.
ali-
Pronunciation: Brit. /ˈalᵻ/ U.S. /ˈælə/
Etymology:
Zool. and Anat.
Forming nouns and related adjectives relating to the ‘wings’ or lateral expansions of certain parts, esp. in the nostrils.
I wouldn't object if fans used latin for, say, 'flying horn', say, avicorn or fugacorn, but using real word that had different meaning (and one that would be squicky for ponies) just irks me. But I made my case, I guess I won't argue any further.
You don't call young dragons drakes for the same reason you don't call young horses ponies. These are different things, thanks for proving my point
I would put it into terms like this: You either order the battleship docked outside to fire, or you can fire a handgun. Are you realy going to order the battleship to fire when your in a room with a few hundred ponies to squash a bug?
And what exactly stopped Celestia with dealing with dragon on secluded mountain? House zoning laws? By that line of thinking, ancient unicorns had power far outstripping modern ones and could have simply willed the snow to go away by using tiny more fraction of it. Except, that didn't happen, and neither did ancient wars between 3 kinds of ponies ended with utter obliteration of pegasi and earth ponies
Sorry, Occam's razor, something fails to demonstrate its supposed powers for millennia, chances are it just doesn't have them as there is no proof whatsoever outside of shaky fanon the power even existed in first place.Come one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
I like the simpler, but not shorter term "Winged Unicorn" myself. But as no-one else uses it, I've just re-appropriated it to suggest that there is some kind of difference between, say, Celestia/Luna and my OC's supporting character Joyreaper.
I don't even rate as an OC in my own right? Well, that's depressing.
I could kind of see a case to be made that a similar distinction could be made between Celestia/Luna and Cadence.
Also, god, Season 3 spoiler dodging is pretty damn tricky round here, isn't it?

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Yeah for Celestia's power I would peg her as very powerful, as in above Twilight who can take on more changlings then the entire Royal Guard and win, but under the whole goddess who can bend reality. Also I would say she isn't very experienced in a fight. She's a clever and wise enough ruler to avoid conflict almost 100% of the time, and when it comes down to a fight she uses brute force to win, like she tried against Chyrsalis with her Solar Beam.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Objection!
Silent Night, at one point, was once known as Ragu Al Ghoul. Which, effectivly, means there is a entire line of pasta-based antagonists that could be tapped.
She was also fighting a Bug/Dark type, so it was not realy effective anyway....

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Apparently, AD&D second edition had a subspecies of unicorn called Alicorns. It doesn't say if they're winged unicorns, though.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
Nope. My sources tell me that the mentioned Alicorn merely had a more gnarled horn than the standard. The article mentioned DOES include a winged unicorn, however. The Unisus, (specifically called out as a unicorn / pegasus crossbread, too).
As well as a Sea-Unicorn that can shift between slightly watery looking unicorn, Sea-horse with horn and Narwhal, aparently. yeeeah.

Re: My Little Pony LIV:E Long and Pony!
We never said Professor Boffinspark had that kind of restraint...or had any kind of restraint...or even knew what restraint is ...
Regarding the dragon, my headcannon is that Celestia wants to try to ensure that dragons don't overrun Equestria out of respect for the ponies living there, and not simply because they're afraid of the local royalty.If brute force isn't working, that just means you're not using enough of it.
When in doubt, set something on fire. If not in doubt, set something on fire anyway.

One question that has popped into my head:
Will the Main Six be able to keep Spike from consuming the Crystal Empire?
