Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
No. I have 2 short haired cats and 1 long haired cats. For 3 seasons (Fall, winter, and spring) we don't have to expact any shedding from our long haired cat. But our short haird cat, regardless of the day, when we pet them, you get a handful of hair all year long. And when I say a handful, I mean you are now wearing a new glove of cat hair from one petting stroke.

Great Thanqol, now you've given me another reason to be jealous.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
For that matter, he appeared to have trouble loading Applejack with her saddlebags back in Dragonshy. Perhaps he's overoptimized for pulling and underoptimized for lifting?
Do you? Would it be overdoing it to call you Great Even Human? (Though I admit, it gets a little weird when multiple names are involved, especially when the second one is also an English word.)Level 4 Bibliophile/Level 3 Bard, working toward the Bibliomancer Prestige Class

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
That sounds more particular to your cat.
From my experience while there were times over the decades my cats shed heavily it would never merit that sort of description. I only have had short hairs so I can compare but searching around got me no answer I'd trust for sure but the range favors about the same with short hair being less noticeable.Last edited by Soras Teva Gee; 2012-05-12 at 01:51 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Well yeah, its probably just my cat. Her brother doesn't shed nearly as much as she does. Plus, her individual hair is striped in 3 different colors making her hair the most noticable damn thing on your shirt.
But in contrast, my long hair cat, while having bright orange blond color hair doesn't really shed as much during the summer either, despite living in southern california. So I don't know...

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Which might be understandable, because considering his apparent job, he might be far more used to using his limbs to move weight around (as in, slamming into trees, pulling houses, carts full of young mares...) than his body proper. Hence, he never realy has had to build up a tolerance for carrying heavy things in his mouth or on his back, which handily explains those two scenes. Even more so if you consider that, just by going on how big he is, he is in the upper size limit for normal ponies and any more direct weight on his limbs might just strain his already well-used legs. Pulling carts? Sure! Carrying a large bag? Are you crazy!

Come on, leave some of the glory for us lesser beings, won't you?
Damn. Well, all the more reason I should go write some more on my own story I suppose. It may not have much hope of attracting such attention, but it is about damn time I got around to it.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
So, who wants to help make a D&D fact sheet for MLP Ponies?
If the facts are to be believed, they'd probably have a base strength score of around 46, since Twilight and Rarity are a bit weaker than normal earth ponies. Damage Reduction?I run a Let's Play channel! Check it out!

I like Stashing Ponythreads.

Seriously, though, nice job.
That's...scary. Don't you think this insane strength score might be conditional, though?
I mean, look at the season finale. Twilight and Cadence didn't simply bash their way out of the underground mine. And those changelings they fought weren't disintegrating when the Mane Six landed a hit on them.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
I guess the amount of shedding really does depend on the individual cat (mine would be closer to the "sheds a ridiculous amount" category"). Given that, my guess would be that Opal is one of the cats that doesn't shed as much.
Eh, I know Word of Faust is that Rainbow Dash is an only foal, but I don't think we've ever had any official word on Fluttershy's family. (My personal fannon is that she has at least one older sibling).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.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
The Changelings themselves seem to be quite tough though; apparently, their idea of how to initiate an attack consists of smashing head-first into the ground at what seems to be an incredibly high speed, creating a small impact crater in the process (not to mention the tactic they used to weaken the shield - repeatedly slam themselves against it until it cracks and shatters).

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
These two intrigued me, and I'm kinda bored, so have a bit of counter-calculation :P
One minor point here (I'll leave size aside, despite not really agreeing with it, as it will change little in calculation) - it's not spherical at all, in fact, it looks barely 2/3 of a sphere, so I'll use 1m³ (based on your estimation) to give us nice, conservative and easy to calculate figure.
Taking some sample rock densities, because I'm a necromancer, not a geologist (and thus am not in a position to guess what rock it might have been!):
Granite: 2691 kg/m³
Basalt: 3011 kg/m³
Mica: 2883 kg/m³
Limestone 2611 kg/m³
So they're mostly in the 2.6-3 kg/m³ range.
Typical Bulk Density of Coal
- Anthracite Coal : 50 - 58 (lb/ft3), 800 - 929 (kg/m3)
- Bituminous Coal : 42 - 57 (lb/ft3), 673 - 913 (kg/m3)
- Lignite Coal : 40 - 54 (lb/ft3), 641 - 865 (kg/m3)
So, this means that RARITY and TWILIGHT are capable of lifting and carrying between 3.9 and 4.5 TONS.
That is about TEN TIMES the peak of human lifting capacity (and that's lift AND CARRY, not just clean-and-jerk and whatnot). And bear in mind these two are arguably the physically weakest of the Mane Cast (since their jobs don't involve a lot of physical exertion and neither are depicted as being very physically active.)
Back working to D&D through carrying capacity, assuming it is a heavy load (as small quadrupeds, carrying capacity is equal to medium bipeds), Rarity and Twilight have strength scores of about 44. The same as big DRAGONS.
A character can lift as much as double his or her maximum load off the ground, but he or she can only stagger around with it. While overloaded in this way, the character loses any Dexterity bonus to AC and can move only 5 feet per round (as a full-round action).
It fits well, and if it's true, then her Str score would need to only be 25, allowing for 1600 pounds of weight carried in such way, impressive, but not nearly so. And:
A character can generally push or drag along the ground as much as five times his or her maximum load. Favorable conditions can double these numbers, and bad circumstances can reduce them to one-half or less.
If what Rarity did was just embellished version of the above, necessary Str drops to 20, impressive but not nearly godlike value.
And, in interest of conservative values - what if Rarity is medium quadruped, if only for purposes of weight load? Then, the scores drop to 22 and 14-15, the latter figure being almost completely in mundane range for someone living in rural villageCome one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Do you maybe have link for this? All I remember is that Faust said RD would make a very poor big sister and she would never give RD little sibling if she could help it.
Which, seeing she saw Cadence as unicorn, doesn't say much these days.
I could name one example where it's not weird at all :PCome one, come all! GitP MLP Steam Group is open!

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Well presumably their wouldn't be the
sexist marketing sterotypeexecutive decision like we clearly had with Cadence's design after Lauren left so presumably if there was some sort of actual note to that effect left behind it would have higher odds of being honored.
As I have seen her state AJ's parents are officially undetermined though I doubt there's that though. So it will just be up to the creative staff whether the idea occurs to them or not.Last edited by Soras Teva Gee; 2012-05-12 at 03:28 PM.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Ok, you do have a point there. Though it's frankly disturbing to think the pony world is...scaled up in comparison to ours. Meaning everything is far, far more durable because the inhabitants are almost comically strong.
