I would like to point out that in regards to the whole princess thing
it was stated that Celestia is labeled as a princess because kids prefure princesses to queens thanks to that the fairy tale Disney stuff they get exposed to making them think queens are evil
so although she is called princess she is technically a queen

Hey, I tried to dig all the way through the planet when I was a kid. I hit the water table and I had a LOT of explaining to do when my parents got home, since there was a giant hole in the backyard that our car could have gotten lost in.Aidinthel said:traukanshaku said:You don't need your ancestors anyway; you have us now.
You mean there are adorable ponies beneath our feet right now?! Why are we not digging yet!?
It's all in good fun. And some ponies like bad puns.BoredDragon said:
Yeah, yeah, I know. Cool story, bro...ny. Ahahahahaha.
My theory: My little pony takes place on a different planet. The ponies speak a different language, have different nationalities, and different world histories. It is simply for the sake of the viewers, that the show has been translated, the references realigned with our pop-culture, and the historical references adjusted for our history.
A dialogue sample from the original show:
"G҉re͘e͠f̛ ̵k̨ag͟h͠ic m̧a̡jc ̛yu̴oe͠r,t͜yḩth̕r̵ ̡g̵us͘ wyx̡kc҉kvu͏i ͞iów͘n̕t̀lyj҉."
Translated:
"...and I said,'Oatmeal? are you crazy?'"
And then everything made sense.

I became familiar with that story through the fanfic "Pony Symphony". Pretty good read if you think you'd enjoy a Cowboy Bebop/MLP crossover. I'm liking the South Africa theory, it does explain the negative reactions towards Zecora. I bet Equestria is her ancestrial home.Necromancer Jim said:
Also, my first thought upon viewing this thread, "One does not simply walk into Equestria."
Feasible, but you do have to remember that all of Zeus' kids were human, regardless of how they were born/conceived. If you're following that logic, then the God would have to be some kind of Pony for Celestia and Luna to be born ponies, albeit super ponies.Feralcentaur said:
Well, yes they are. Gods are immortal, can control the elements, change the destinies of humans, etc. But, their morals are clearly no better than humans, I'd even say worst than most. Then again, the Greeks were never really big on moral standing, were they?Bara_no_Hime said:
Nothing is fun once it's been explained.Aidinthel said:
I hate to brag, but I think that this is a very effective, and universal theory for shows that blur the lines of reality and fiction (e.g. pony powered seasons and French couture)
If you see a hole in this theory let me know. I'd love to find a universal explination theory.
My theory is that the land of Equestria is a little girl's rather large playset. This explains why the seasons need changing and the animals need to be taken care of (the little girl is moving the toy sun, moon, snow, and animals around, and pretending that the ponies are doing it). The Everfree Forest is the nearby garden where she sometimes plays, but her brother (who has dragon and monster toys) plays in the garden and bothers her toys with his toys when she goes there.
Ignoring your first question and skipping right to the second. You do realize that its a kids show right? Even if genitals were easily visible on a pony (they aren't because its a horse and if you have ever been near a female horse you wouldn't see much either) why would the animators put them there?
She's still working on the show. She's just down to Consulting Producer from Executive Producer I believe.Eomega123 said:

If I may.....
I believe that Equestria is located in a dimension just slightly off from our own. There DOES infact, exist a link between these worlds. Their's is in the Everfree Forest, where the laws of nature tend to more closely follow ours. The 'link' in our world has yet to be discovered, however.
why not take a page out of the DC book and call it an alternate earth where instead of humans become the dominant species a race of magic weilding walking talking flying and civilized ponies controlled the world.
