"enabling them to perform immense feats of strength"

lol, i don't know about Dash, but I'm pretty sure Rook was covered in that department before he got his element.

"Be"? What does "Be" mean? Was it meant to be "Be-lieve"?

Nimaru In reply to Jdueler11 [2016-11-20 13:17:18 +0000 UTC]

It means that they're just walking, talking, sitting, not talking, doing whatever... just "being" together. They don't really need words to understand each other or anything around them

This recap in of itself is a masterpiece Great Brony! And it's so much fun to see the element interacting with one another across the generations. Β And it's refreshing to see Angel bunny smiling for once since we all know that's rare! Well done Great Brony and I gotta fave this list! Β

God I hope we see more of this Nimster! I absolutely LOVE THE IDEA of the Mane Six meeting their predecessors.

Yeah,Β it wasn't until after I had posted my question, I had remembered that you said that Celestia was the element of patience. Which brings up this question: When did Celestia start to bear patience as opposed to Magic? Or was she never the true bearer of Magic, merely using it because she's the freakin' Princess and is pretty dang powerful, and just waiting (hence patience) for the true bearer to come?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to KatanaKaze [2016-11-19 18:53:26 +0000 UTC]

Maybe when she gave her "Element of Magic" to Twilight and thus gained a new element as a result?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

KatanaKaze In reply to BlasterMasterGuy [2016-11-19 19:18:26 +0000 UTC]

Possibly, but it had been centuries before Twi was born. Wouldn't it be more likely that she was bearing the element while waiting for her sister's exile to end?

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to KatanaKaze [2016-11-19 19:27:42 +0000 UTC]

Perhaps. Celestia may be powerful enough to bear two elements at once. Luna did say to Twilight that Celestia was "the most magical pony in all of Equestria".

Nimaru In reply to BlasterMasterGuy [2016-11-20 01:58:18 +0000 UTC]

Celestia DID hold the element of love. It was passed to Twilight just after her entrance test I haven't decided how I'll explain just yet, but simply put, Celestia can wield every element at some level.

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to Nimaru [2016-11-20 02:28:41 +0000 UTC]

Heh, looks like Luna was right on the mark. No wonder she loves her sis so much. Celestia truly is the most magical pony in all the land (aside from Tau Sunflare and their father of course).

Wait, how can Kindness and Empathy be the same if Sunset shimmer's is Empathy? (Ex: Empathy has a canon elemental gem-shard / necklace in Equestria girls, that cannonly came from pony equestria, we only know the name of it thanks to a interview)Β

Nimaru In reply to Atlanta-Hammy [2016-11-19 18:00:41 +0000 UTC]

Personally, I go with this because that's what I came up with five years ago when I made the first comics. I didn't know about Sunset (I've actually never heard that), but I also don't accept Equestria Girls as canon so *shrug*

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 2

Atlanta-Hammy In reply to Nimaru [2016-11-19 18:07:36 +0000 UTC]

Ahhh, I guess that's fair, but I'd just be careful with the "Not accepting Equestria Girls as canon" thing, as they do seem to be hinting at the possibility of some sorta Climax with Sunset coming back / Meeting the ponies... Or at least meeting Starlight. Β

On that note, if you haven't read the linked comic I made explaining this, you really should

Oh I've read the whole thing before, why I'm asking, cause, well stuff happened, and I'm curious how you adapted it. xD

Also to respond to your other comment, i'd at least watch Legend of Everfree, it was really good, with amazing music <3

(Gotta Say, Sunset and Twilight are my fav ponies, Sunset has really grown on me, and i'm just kinda "Ehhh" how their trying to re-do that with Starlight)

Atlanta-Hammy In reply to BlasterMasterGuy [2016-11-19 18:42:29 +0000 UTC]

Maybe, I mean in the comic that explains Sunset's origins, does have the mirror hint at the fact she is destined to become a princess.... Now if the comic is canon or not is the question, as, well, most the comics tends to contradict each other.Β 

(Though it does seem as though that Sunset is supposed to be the "Celestia" Sun to Twilight's "Luna" Moon, only with their stories switched.)

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to Atlanta-Hammy [2016-11-19 18:52:22 +0000 UTC]

I think the Mirror was trying to warn Sunset or at least show where her ambition was going to lead her (aka a reflection of a possible but unrealized future where Sunset is an Alicorn but living a very unhappy life). If Sunset were to look into the mirror to see her reflection now, I'm sure she'd see a much different reflection (aka herself as the phoenix princess of Equestria living a very happy life surrounded by friends, family, and loved ones).

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to Nimaru [2016-11-19 18:05:38 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, it's a bit hard to adapt your Ponyverse to Hasbro's Ponyverse especially when Hasbro keeps adding stuff. While I do love Sunset Shimmer (seriously, BEST PONY/HUMAN!) I think that you should go with whatever works best for your Ponyverse Nimster dude.

Sunset is growing on me, but I hate EQg so I hope that they never cross the two worlds officially.

Well this series was made long before Equestria Girls and Sunset's element. Β Personally, I think it's easier to think of Sunset's element as being "Forgiveness."

πŸ‘: 0 ⏩: 1

Atlanta-Hammy In reply to SuperSonicHeroes2 [2016-11-19 18:03:27 +0000 UTC]

I guess! It just seems a lil' odd for those kinda names to be switched around like that... Plus Empathy and Forgiveness are kind of two different things.Β 

(Then there is Cadance being the literal physical element of Love, but that is a bunch of tomfoolery for another time)

Brother-Malachai In reply to Atlanta-Hammy [2016-11-19 17:56:11 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, I thought they said Empathy was Shimmer's Element in a panel once.

BlasterMasterGuy In reply to Brother-Malachai [2016-11-19 18:07:34 +0000 UTC]

Yes but remember that Nimster's Ponyverse was created over five years ago and when he did that he had already established Winter Willow / Fluttershy as the element of empathy. Kinda hard to retcon your own Ponyverse especially after you've put so much love and work into it.

Atlanta-Hammy In reply to Brother-Malachai [2016-11-19 18:00:03 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, someone had asked what would Sunset's Element of Harmony would be, and it was said to be Empathy, and low and behold, Legend of Everfree does the thing 'bout a year or two later, with making the Element of Harmony shards come from equestria, and changing their colors and giving sunset mind-reading powers to get straight to the point of the problem.Β
