[Pokonic]

Huh, I thought we had some sort of official word on that. I stand corrected.



The only problem with that eventuality is that it will invariably devolve into a series of complicated backstabbing maneuvers between Boffinspark and Silent Night.

1. As did I. Was it not in some of the outside stuff, like the toys and such?

2. Ah, tradition.

Ahem!

I am the N to the I-G-H-T-C-O-R-E

No other pony can rule the club like me

I am.....Nightlicious

Squeek squeek squeek.

[Anarion]

Guys, she is Celestia's niece. It was in the New York Times wedding announcement. Scroll down the page I linked to see the black and white paper add, where it says she's the niece.

I feel like it's Draw Like A Third Grader Day and I'm participating, but I can't really make myself pay more attention to this at the moment. Rather quickly made, and very quickly colored sketch.

I should point out that I cannot be considered even remotely "good" at drawing humans, and have only a cursory familiarity with how Genghis Khan actually looks.

I have been defeated before I truly began.

Could be that they all turn into Centau-

People used to believe that was it for reals.

how can Celestia be soooo wrong?

Sorry for poor formatting. I have no idea how siuis manages on his phone.

Thank you for pointing that out, that's wonderful.

Niece in the same way Blueblood is maybe, which means not actually related in ways not aristocracy would care about.

And this doesn't even have show canon support. Ads are even lower then merch as far as canon is concerned.

The ad wouldn't be lower in this case since it's sponsored by The Hub, rather than Hasbro, making it closer to the show than most of the toys. Of course, you can justify it away however you please, I was merely noting that there is in fact official information stating that Cadence is Celestia's niece, in response to the note from Pokonic on the previous page that he couldn't remember where it was.

He's the final boss. Think about it.

I call dibs on being the secret postgame gimmick boss that makes no sense at all.

Think I jumped in mid conversation here, so I probably missed something, but if we are talking about aristocracy and such, why can't Prince Blueblood, Princess Cadence, and whatever other princess appears just be adopted? It is an old fashioned standby to keep the money and power in the family after all...

Oh yeah, and partially quoted you because think you asked "where is here" at some point on the donut discussion: new york.

Ads are also notorious liars and suffer straight up errors much of the time. Frankly doesn't bother me because they aren't supposed to be factual, but at the same time they aren't a source for anything.

This isn't a pony rule its a general rule. I find book summaries/descriptions on dust jackets or when ordering a pretty rich source of misleading information.

And one of several reasons I think the only the shows themselves are entirely official. WoG also exists but should only be extended to a VERY limited scope after which it ends completely.

Mere corporate connection is not enough. Merch is broadly at zero already for having no bear, marketing is just at negative values for temporary and as a medium too often wrong. Course in the real world convergence can and often does happen, but until it does it hasn't.

(Also the show is copyrighted by Hasbro Studio, neither the Hub nor Discovery appear in the credits for the show. Though okay I only checked one credit reel. Hasbro Studio itself is a wholly owned subsidiary of Hasbro who separately own a 50% stake in the Hub. Technically the Hub is merely a host for US media markets. This is largely separate from canon but I see ponies try to invoke the Hub a fair bit yet the Hub has no real status.)

It is an old fashioned standby to keep the money and power in the family after all...

I mention aristocracy by most normal standards Celestia and Luna would probably be considered to have no relatives because any relations are ridiculously removed. I'd speculate they only have consideration because Celestia must have had some form of legal heir while Luna was on the moon.

For your second point bluebloods generally like y'know blood. Also unless we are ascribing a paternal relationship on Celestia's part (which conflicts with Blueblood as "nephew" for starters) that doesn't actually help anything because being adopted would still require simply one less generation in the thousand year chain from when, presumably, the two sister's aunts/uncles were alive.

Oh yeah, and partially quoted you because think you asked "where is here" at some point on the donut discussion: new york.

Then what the heck, I can understand everyone out of country but you seriously never encountered coffee and donuts?

[SiuiS]

The simple fact of the matter is, when it comes down to it it doesn't matter if it's an immoral act. Situations like that strip away the pretentious layers of meaning that life accumulates and reduce it to truths.

Eat or Die.

That's all there is to it. No right, no wrong, no taboo, no last wishes, no what they would have wanted and no clever ways out. Just a question of siimple animal survival.

What difference does it make if it's an immoral act?

You misunderstand. The question was a statement. It is, in the end, my ultimate thought on the matter.

Who you are is of little consequence. Your legacy is immortal, you are rotting meat. I would rather die for my beliefs and bolster that legacy, than live on biologically. If you're going to die anyway, why avoid prion diseases? Heck, why avoid starving?

I disagree though. I still believe that life-and-death situations are where moral decisions matter most. It's been a fun journey though

Gonna throw my thoughts into the ring, but let's not go too deep down the rabbit hole this time, k?

No worries.

Anyway, morality is determined by your belief system. Nopony is going to strike you with lightning if you eat a corpse. So you're asking whether something is immoral is, frankly, kind of a silly question. All I have to do is say I don't think it is and I'm done.

Yes, but only if you truly didn't believe. I you thought it was a bad thing and did it anyway, well.

This is also a big problem for these sort of hypothetical questions. What you're really trying to get is agreement from a bunch of different ponies about the proper course of action in a certain situation. But while that's easy for something like theft (everypony agrees that stealing someone's wallet is a bad thing), when you ask a controversial question like weighing a belief in the sanctity of a dead body vs. the life of another person, you're not going to get a simple answer and, frankly, there's not a ton of discussion to be had either. I think life is more important than the sanctity of a dead body. But why? *shrug* I dunno, I just put a lot of value on a life relative to other things. Probably had to do with a whole bunch of stuff with how I was raised, not all of which I'm conscious of right now. I don't think the why of it matters much because we're already talking about values, which is at a fundamental level. It's like asking why I like the color blue better than the color red.

Of course. This discussion is about the banal trivia. I enjoy those, when everyone knows that's what they are. Dissecting why the continuation of biological processes is important enough to not only over-ride rational thought on a matter but also causes such thought to shut down is fun. Een ignoring the possibility of an afterlife, it is interesting how when told you will die, most people default to "oh crap no". Why? It needn't be unpleasant, and once you go you won't care anymore. Right?

The gist of it though is, would you honor your word and another's wishes, over your own hunger? This presumes knowing I don't want to be eaten, of course. Or that you consider yourself as much animal as human, and place such Thigs highly for the sake of your nature. I don't mind dogs eating me. If you're a dog it's cool, but that's usually a step down for most folks.

Thread six, Xanatos decides to write a fanfic. Thread seven, he declares that he is going to finish it, and won't come back to ponythread until he is done! I asked him about it the other day. "you still working on it?"

"eh. I'll get around to it."
