I want the Derpy, Rarity and Vinyl one Beros, please and thank you.
I will pay you next time I see you.
Tempted to ask for Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie as well, but I do not want to take too many of them.

ALSO, is that a Rarity grab bag?!

Can I have that too?

pegasi have a lighter skeletal structure than other ponies which is highly adapted for flight. muscles make up a much higher percentage of body mass (due to the strenuous nature of sustained flight), meaning that pegasi are stronger than their earth and unicorn counterparts. the fact that pegasi are more susceptible to airborne bacteria means they have evolved superior immune systems; furthermore, the genes of sick pegasi who were incapable of flight were killed off by natural selection (pegasi who couldn't fly were left behind by the herd), unlike unicorns who just magicked the illnesses away and kept the crappy genes.

in conclusion, get dunked.
Lighter bones work in the opposite direction of the point you're trying to make. Them being lighter means they're likely more brittle and easier to break. So either you're wrong, or you're proving a point that makes pegasi inferior.

Your muscle argument is also flawed, in that flapping wings doesn't build muscle in any other part of the body. As such, ponies that traverse on ground are likely to have stronger leg muscles while pegasi that primarily get around through the air have stronger muscles needed for using their wings. This is also different on an individual pony basis based on genetics and different daily routines that may use different muscles, not to mention body building, which is something all pony races can do.

As for airborne bacteria, pegasi and other ponies breathe the same air. The altitude of said air is negligible. And considering there's a lot more on the ground that could get ponies sick OTHER than airborne bacteria, and if pegasi live in the clouds all day, if anything, there's less to build up their immune systems.

A pegasi that couldn't fly could live the life of an earth pony, no problem. So not being able to go with other pegasi shouldn't be an issue. Also, regular pegasi aren't ******** like Leaf, and if unicorns could cure them, they'd likely seek them out.

Unicorns natural selection likely occurs more from those less adapt at magic not being able to live as well as those better at magic, and not from illnesses.

You're not paying attention to what I'm saying, which is that personality don't mean **** in fighting games, especially when they're made by Capcom who can't even make a decent story when they actually try. It doesn't ****ing matter what a character's personality is because you're just going to be mashing start during the pre/post match entrances/exits and most of the time the language is set to moonspeak anyway so you can't ****ing understand any of the characters. What you should be focusing on is divekicks, cl.HP xx Galactic Tornado, and EX Messiah FADC Ultra instead of this stupid ****ing "I don't like him as a [one-dimensional] character" bull****. Picking your main based on appearance, personality, or anything besides playstyle is a ****ing terrible idea, and in games like Street Fighter where characters have almost no distinguishing features besides special moves (and even then there's still 6+ shotos). In BlazBlue I can kind of understand it because the developers clearly put a ton of time into story mode and made it an integral part of character design, and even MK9 it would make sense since those developers spent probably twice as much time designing the story of the game as Capcom did with SF4 (a whole ten minutes!), but in Street Fighter...no, just no.

So why don't you hold that ****.

Yeah, but i like the characters for who they are, hence dudley. because moustache

Pfft, I suck at traditional fighters. They're so dull no matter how pretty they look. :applejack:
Yeah im pretty much the same...except tekken, i love tekken. although it lacks tings like supers and has one more dimension than usual

i want Fighting is Magic to have airdashes, or i will probably not play it alot qqqqq
I think the pegasi will have airdashes for sure

Anyway guys, i just need a little bit of love. im feeling pretty down :L
Today was the funeral of one of my good friends. And it only really hit home that he had truly gone when the service happened. I dont really have anything to say on it. but i dont know what im meant to do

bones can be light without being brittle. it's like how an architect uses the lightest materials and the most minimalist design available without sacrificing structural integrity. i think the sonic rainbomb proves that pegasus bones are nothing to be scoffed at.

Your muscle argument is also flawed, in that flapping wings doesn't build muscle in any other part of the body. As such, ponies that traverse on ground are likely to have stronger leg muscles while pegasi that primarily get around through the air have stronger muscles needed for using their wings. This is also different on an individual pony basis based on genetics and different daily routines that may use different muscles, not to mention body building, which is something all pony races can do.
i should have been more clear; flapping wings is a cardiovascular exercise. imagine if you had to wave your arms around all day. you would have incredible arm muscles, but your heart would also be more efficient at supplying oxygen to muscles in other parts of your body, giving you increased endurance and strength in all areas.

As for airborne bacteria, pegasi and other ponies breathe the same air. The altitude of said air is negligible. And considering there's a lot more on the ground that could get ponies sick OTHER than airborne bacteria, and if pegasi live in the clouds all day, if anything, there's less to build up their immune systems.
pegasi have a higher exposure to air due to flight. it's not breathing that brings them in contact with bacteria, it's the fact that they move faster and over longer distances, and therefore their skin is more likely to pick up airborne pathogens.

A pegasi that couldn't fly could live the life of an earth pony, no problem. So not being able to go with other pegasi shouldn't be an issue.

sometimes death is better than losing your dignity.

exactly. so, while they were getting better at making sparks appear, pegasi were getting better at becoming invincible superponies.

That in no way proves that their bones are any more resilient either, which is the main point that still needs to be made.

i should have been more clear; flapping wings is a cardiovascular exercise. imagine if you had to wave your arms around all day. you would have incredible arm muscles, but your heart would also be more efficient at supplying oxygen to muscles in other parts of your body, giving you increased endurance and strength in all areas.
Parallels can be drawn to what other ponies do in their daily lives. But does this at all prove they're invincible? Does this really make them more invincible than other ponies? A pony going flapflap all day vs a pony going trottrot all day doesn't make a very big difference when it comes to the ability to fight disease or recover from an injury faster than an earth or unicorn pony. It's still more of an individual pony basis.

pegasi have a higher exposure to air due to flight. it's not breathing that brings them in contact with bacteria, it's the fact that they move faster and over longer distances, and therefore their skin is more likely to pick up airborne pathogens.
Then perhaps this evens out what I said before.

so what you're saying is that pegasus ponies are like earth ponies, except better?
I'm saying a pegasi's body could easily adapt to the lifestyle of an Earth pony's because not having wings isn't fatal. It just means a different lifestyle.

sometimes death is better than losing your dignity.
That's something stupid that only a pegasupremaderkaderp would believe.

exactly. so, while they were getting better at making sparks appear, pegasi were getting better at becoming invincible superponies.
Pegasi natural selection is probably more from pegasi more adept at flight doing better off, so those less adept at flight took to the ground and got together with Earth ponies, which could result in a baby of either race. But those ponies wouldn't be great at flying either, so the cycle continues until the pegasi have been assimilated into earth ponies. The case is probably similar with unicorns.

The point I'm making here is that none of this natural selection has to do with how invincible a pegasi is. It simply shows how the strengths of unicorns and pegasi are focused in natural selection. And before it's brought up, this doesn't make Earth ponies inferior. In the same sense, it accentuates the strengths of ponies without wings or magic.

Man I really am doing this wrong.


Leaf enjoys unicorn horn in his *** and john wants Angel to suck him off.

Get dunked.

You already saw the compilation video I did for that right?
Yeah i saw it, was wonderful : ]

Also our Brony Night S1E01 is finally uploaded. Suggestions for ideas or improvement maybe?

Edit: Like I said I rushed it, didn't proof checked it. I think the episode's audio de-synced. I think it has trouble with transitioning with black. I'll try removing the transitions the next time
It was good, audio did desynch but only for a bit. Some parts sounded like someone was playing the drums with their mic tho lol

Should be enough.

Ahem...

When Pinkie Pie meets Cranky Doodle Donkey, she becomes flummoxed about what to do when the donkey refuses her usual offer of lifelong friendship, so she must decide what to do next about the first creature ever to do such a thing.

I'm betting that Cranky is gonna be old and remind me of DKC's Cranky Kong.

Beg your pardon?

@Beros: So that's $5 from me for the AJ pins...
...is that Applejack figure also for sale? :applejack:
Yeah $5 for the pins, and that AJ one was the one I bought today cause you wanted a spare. $2 for that for a total of $7.

Slush is getting Pinkie, Pinkamena, and Vinyl + Pinkie blind bag ($8 total)
Tofer is getting Rarity and Derpy + Rarity blind bag ($6 total)

Tofer also wants Vinyl, Pinkie, and Fluttershy for his sister, so I will be making another order sooner or later. Probably sometime after I get the metal pins order sorted out. (extra $6 if I get to it)

Wow, and I thought Espy and I had stupid arguments. At least Zajice finally started to catch on.

No problems. I still gotta ask Prime if he wants the Fluttershy stuffs, Leaf for Rainbow Dash stuffs, and Rei for Celestia stuffs.

Also, if you hadn't noticed the post-Brony Night S1E01 credits, tis my latest sketch, just uploaded to dA

What Celestia stuff is there? Just the button? I'll take it. If a carpool comes to GATOcon, you can send it with them and I'll send back the money.

Yeah just the pin. Unless you want the plastic hair Celestia (came from the FiM set I bought in Niagra Falls last Summer) and brush-able hair Celestia (came from the "Best Friends" set I recently bought that included Twi, Spike, and Celestia). That or you wanted something more from the metallic pony pins.

Leaf: Dash pin ($2), Dash blind bag ($2), Glitter Dash blind bag ($2), Gala Dash ($3) = $9
Rei: Celestia pin ($2), Celestia plastic hair ($4)*, Celestia brushable hair ($5)** = $11

* $16 set (sale from $20) / 4 ponies = $4 per pony (kept Twi, gave AJ to Espy, Pinkie to Slush, Celestia for you)
** $10 set / 2 ponies = $5 per pony (kept Twi, Celestia for you)
