Or maybe it was And I Must Scream, somehow that makes more scene to me.

Yeah it makes me wonder if twilight was conscious while turned into stone.

Regardless, that letter must have been hilarious.

''Dear Princess Celestia,

Last night, I was stoned. I accidentally looked at a cockatrice straight in the eye, but Fluttershy saved me by also staring straight at the cockatrice and telling him he's been a bad boy! I've learned not to underestimate my friends once again and that Fluttershy is amazing.

Your faithful student, Twilight Sparkle''

My best guess is that Twilight simply wasn't aware of anything that happened while she was turned to stone. She didn't even know it happened until after the fact. So it would basically be like passing out and then coming back. It would be weird to realize that you were a statue for a few hours, but there are more traumatic things that could happen.

So we know they technically have hoofs, even though we cannot see them (stylization). ...Yet, Rarity's feet could wrinkle like a prune if soaked in water too long, like flesh! ... Rule of Funny and lampshade-handing, I suppose, but it's still perplexing.

Have you seen that candypony anatomy chart that's been making the rounds? It suggests that the ponies' bodies are made of a strange marshmallow-like substance with variable consistency like that.

So Rarity really is a marshmallow! S'mores are made of ponies!

Rare Candy?

Mac has hoofs.

Makes me wonder why the Cockatrice has the ability to unstone someone. Lions don´t have the power to bring their prey back from the dead, and rattlesnakes can´t negate the poison within an animal´s system after they bite.

Also, why did it take so long for the Cockatrice to stone Fluttershy?

^Maybe there's something to the idea that cockatrices can't eat stone and have to reverse the process to eat their prey.

As for why it took so long: Fluttershy's Stare is so powerful it can negate baleful magic.

Any magical creature is likely to have some sort of natural magical resistance - like how putting two radio emmiters at different frequencies nearby is probably going to mess with the frequencies a bit - But a lot of the time I've seen petrification there's been some element of will involved. Twilight was pretty clearly surprised by the Cocatrice, but Fluttershy saw it coming and was ready for it, so she could probably fight it at least a bit.

#15265 Red Savant Sun, 21st Aug '11 12:51:38 PM from Eastern US from Eastern US

^True, but I don't think the ponies count as magical for the setting - even pegasi. Unicorns, definitely, but not the other breeds.

But in "The Glass Princess", all three kinds of ponies were viable for making into a magic cloak!

All pony races are magical, even Word Of God says that.

They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

#15269 Death Cloud Sun, 21st Aug '11 2:40:37 PM

Ance again I started arguing about Caramel "Loser of grass seeds" and Caramel "Backgroud pony" being two seperate colts.

A-hem...

Yeah, yeah, I know it's the wrong thread for plugging. But it was relevant anyways.

I think you write that after I mentioned this here for first time.

#15272 kegisak Sun, 21st Aug '11 2:50:36 PM

Yeah, I did - the idea came in response to the mention of it.

That's closes thing to being responsible for written fanfic :P (At least pony fanfic in english).

I've since made it my personal canon that Caramel is the pony version of Ranma.

Somebrony noticed that Wind Whistler and Trixie look similar (just replace horn with wings).
