@ Story: I believe one of the storyborders named him that.

In my fanverse, as full alicorns, they age 100 times slower than ordinary ponies (but Luna didn't age as Nightmare Moon). Cadance and Twilight, as demi-alicorns, only age 10 times slower.

This annoys Pluto a lot.

Also, it means that when Cadance and Shining Armor got engaged, Celestia gave them The Talk about what relationships between an alicorn and a normal pony are like (I plan to include this as a flashback in the same fic which has the undead ponies).

EDIT:This is what I heard as wel, whichis why I use that name. Otherwise I'd use Bench Press or, when imagining him as Feather Weight's father, Heavy Weight.

Ah, the Mayfly December Romance. It has the potential to be very heartbreaking.

Personally I believe Alicorns physically age according to how powerful their magic is. Hence why Luna became far younger when the Elements took away her magic and why she looks quite older a year later when she regained some of it.

Indeed. Though some have found ways of making it work for them. I'm amused by the interpretation that elves are actually less reluctant to marry humans than they are other elves, as they see it as less of a commitment and kind of a "practice marriage". For them a 50 year marriage is practically a fling.

EDIT:So, kind of like the opposite causality from The Immortal Game? I must admit that I do think that losing her power caused Luna's age to regress a bit which she later caught up though (helped by the fact taht she's currently going through a growth spurt like Cadance).

Well, at this point they are no longer going by her playbook so it really doesn't matter. Not that they would have refereed to them as such even if they did.

Not sure why you would need to be a "god" (whatever definition of which you are using) to be immortal.

I never said they were gods (or "goddesses", in this case.)

In the context of the post I see no other reason as to why you would say that they weren't immortal then.

Re-enacting an old fairy tale

In unrelated news, votes are being counted in my country's general elections. Hopefully it will be a good result. And by good result I mean "Relatively few riots".

@Ed: Stay outta trouble mon.

Nah, I don't really think it'll be that bad.

Still not going out late at night, though.

I've never even considered them immortal. Celestia seemed to have aged over the past thousand years. And apparently, that's what Faust was going for. The sisters were still young and living with their parents when NMM was banished. Abit of Fridge Horror that they don't seem to be around anymore. It looks like Luna was orphaned while trapped on the moon.

If you have an Inn with another Inn inside it, would that be called Innception? Answer no it would not, because saying -ception makes you look like an idiot

I don't consider immortality to automatically equal godhood. YMMV.

The Great and Powerful Luna.

Party soft.

Wheeeeeee!

I'm awake once again, though no dream this time really. (Conditions weren't conductive this time.)

Again, I'm pleased with the images you all have provided... and I seem to have misplaced the comb... I'll find it sometime...

I don't remember any dreams either.

Ever since I started a dream journal, I've realized I dream more often than I once thought.

Still no ponies, though.

@ NES: Backy broke it.

@story: Ah, memories. Horrifying, anatomically correct memories.

But we have Word of Meghan that Twilight will not outlive her friends, which means that either her and Cadance age normally, which seems to be the case given how Cadance aged normally from what we've seen. Or all the other Mane 6 are going to ascend at some point. Awesome, but unlikely. Do we REALLY want Princess Pinkie?

@Syd: There's also Sliding Scales of immortality too :V It can simply be super-longevity or straight-up Hourai Elixir tier Deathlessness.

Yes :P
