Description

some notes on earth ponies, the oft under-appreciated third of ponykind


Earth ponies are the strongest and hardiest of all ponies. They are the most widespread, found in every corner of Equestria, from Appleoosa to the Crystal Empire. They are the most traditional ponies, clinging stubbornly to their ideas of hospitality, honesty, and humility. They may be the doofiest little ponies of all.


oof too many wurds




the magical hooves idea was borrowed with permission from , their original headcanon is here: 3-23-19 B [BeautyVerse Magic: Earth Ponies]


may do more notes on earth ponies in the future, there's a lot i can say about these idiots



more in this headcanon series:

Maybe it's just me, but why is it that Pinkie Pie has feathers on her shoulders?

Dozy-Arts In reply to YintheeDawdle [2019-09-29 06:20:44 +0000 UTC]

I think lops Pinkie Pie is related to Surprise (if I remember right) so she has some feathers and air related magic.

I've always believed that party ponies like Pinkie Pie and Cheese Sandwich had access to chaos magic thanks to their cutie marks, seeing as parties involve many moving parts that require many different individual skills.

These have been so much fun to follow on patreon and I'm glad you put them all together in one big post to see. I don't know what it is exactly, but I LOVE the way you drew Pinkie's eyes. They just really POP against all that floof.

Your style has always been great, but recently it has just become utterly gorgeous. The soft sketchy lines and natural brushes go so well together and the way you draw hair/manes has become so masterful. I love how soft you make the shape of the muzzle, too? It's just all so good.

Okay, I love this as a whole, but I also had a more specific thought: I love how Pinkie is aligned with chaos. Coming off of the discussion between Pan and Cosmos about the nature of balance, it makes perfect sense that there'd be some chaotic representation in the elements of harmony. Awesome work!

I like your head cannons for the pony races. Mine are pretty much similar to them.

LimeLight221 In reply to MidnightFire1222 [2019-09-29 05:10:53 +0000 UTC]

Same except the age. In my headcanons earth ponies could technically live to be as old as Celestia herself but usually succumb to disease/murder/suicide etc...

kinda-lost In reply to ??? [2019-09-29 05:05:02 +0000 UTC]

Can earth ponies have alignments to stars, moons, or the sun like unicorns? Also in ur head canon how are the genes passed down, like if a Pegasus and unicorn had a foal is it possible to pass down the gene to make them an earth pony from a previous ancestor?

So is it from a subclass of Earth ponies who were exposed to chaos magic a long time ago?

yESSS I LOVE YOUR HEADCANONSSSS

oh and I probably should've asked but I did use your Coloratura being a siren hc (and gave credit, of course) and also am writing up a headcanon for Pinkie using the Plain Ponies concept in your HC for her parents (with credit). I know you've said it's okay to use your hcs if credit is given but I still felt the need to check in case anything has changed, issss that cool?

Lopoddity In reply to GAYSWILLRULE [2019-09-29 15:50:16 +0000 UTC]

You don't need to credit me for headcanons, unless it's specific stuff about my OCs. Anything I write about Equestrian species and show characters is fair game. :>
