i don’t get why pinkie would be chubby. she’s a hyper active pall of ADD. she has been shown to run as fast as rainbow and thinks a mile a minuet. this does not add up to her being chubby. i know not a single chubby person who acts like this.
yes she eats a lot of sweets but she is clearly more than active enough to work it all off. not to mention she grew up doing a fair amount of hard work so her biorhythms would be much more tuned for muscle and quick burning of energy.
Body types look mostly spot on, except I’d switch Twilight and Fluttershy’s body types. Twilight’s always struck me as being really slender for some reason.
Pretty much. Good and evil are mostly subjective. If Country X does something Country Y is offended at and vice versa, which one is the bad guy? Both, neither, or one in particular? It mostly depends on actions. That’s why I get mad at ultra-conservative thinking regarding other cultures. As if anyone deserves to be better than another.
At a more individual level, how many Christians will see me, an atheist, as a mostly moral person who shouldn’t/couldn’t/wouldn’t go to Hell.
As for that, that is what drives to actually do something. Let’s be frank, if no one was hurt under it, we’d still have slavery as a norm. It’s through the suffering of others where we are at our most human because it tells us, “Hey, that could be me. Or my spouse. Or my child.”

I’m a little confused. You believe that no matter what we do in our life, it will not effect where we go when we die? And you believe we don’t have the right to decide what’s “Good” and “Evil”, besides the extremes?
I get that. I see how believing we will not be held able for our “evil deeds” in an afterlife can be comforting. I just hate the idea of evil people having easy, pleasant lives and not pay for their crimes somehow. And in the same sense, good people who have miserable and/or hard lives and/or die horribly or too soon don’t get rewarded somehow.
What I do now has no control on what happens to me after death. It’s a weird, morbid sense of appreciation that no matter what we do, we just die. Mostly alone.
But it also tells me that I, nor any being in a metaphysical sense, don’t really have a right to decide what’s to “objectively” determine how evil or saintly someone is (unless they were murderers, rapists, genocidal, etc.) That we’re ultimately flawed, dumb apes trying to do the best to preserve our past, live for the present, and influence the future.
I’m not trying to imply those who believe in an afterlife are less moral people, but it’s just a way of thinking that makes me sleep at night so to speak.
@Zombie_Trotsky
I don’t believe in multiple life times either. But I want to believe in an after life. Heaven, Hell, Purgatory, all that junk. I hate the idea of people not getting what they deserve. But, at the same time I know they probably don’t exist.
It’s fun to click back-and-forth between the two versions.
The first version, it’s a little too “everypony is the same”. Here, they are more unique and varied, and logical. A more muscular AJ and RD, fatter Pinky and TS, but poor vegan FS need a meaty sammich badly.
Well, I only believe in one lifetime. I really don’t expect anything for my good deeds, or for doing something with devotion. I’ll probably always be a short, overweight doofus with plenty of medical and mental shortcomings.
@Zombie_Trotsky
Yeah. I don’t believe in karma. At least not karma in one lifetime. Too many good or innocent people have suffered and too many evil people have prospered for me to believe in it.
@Zombie_Trotsky
Yes it does stink, and part of the reason I don’t like how there is so much fat human Pinkie, look at Spike with gems, he’s scarfing them down more then Pinkie with sweets but him as a human is always thin.
“Twilight’s always struck me as being really slender for some reason.”
It’s those stripes in her mane. Optical illusion, vertical stripes = slimming appearance.

Egg-Zachly.
Which breaks both rules.
I feel morality boils down to two rules that I live by:
#1- Don’t be an asshole. Do unto others and all that jazz.
#2- If it isn’t hurting anyone, it’s okay.
The rest is just details.
I’m just going to through this out there. there is truffle shuffle and snips…

I don’t but also do.

And that Pinkie is sexy…

Ehh, I make due.

Yeah, I saw him as fat, too. Heck, even on the show he has a belly.
No one likes fat dudes I guess.

Well, that stinks.
@HamburgerTime
Stuff like that makes me think karma is a lie.
No, I know. I meant my comment.
Not a double post. This is a slight edit.
