Humans excluded. As partial energy-state beings they exhibited paradoxical yet rigidly defined principles, mentalities, moods, and functionality.

"Diplomat Marshmallow Moon is mostly regarded as an Independent regardless of her direct lineage from Princess Luna.. fourth or fifth generation descendant I believe.

"In the fewest number of words possible.. yes. But I won't have the Citadel being attacked on account of your prior history, current predicamarent, negligence, failures, and whatever else might or might not have occurred.
Underworks were going to be overhauled starting next week, but they don't matter much. And Moonborn don't evacuate, they either die here or are laid to rest around the Citadel.
..only share strictly necessary information."
>Pages folding in the background, the mare sniffs several times.
"What i- ..hm. Both. Warguard and Vanguard Wolves were developed by crossbreeding more than four hundred species originating from the Old Everfree Forest. Started in the middle 25,000's. No records on which lineages were involved. We do know most of the armored, Major, Greater, noble, royal, metallic, magical, and Elemarental species were used.
Roughly a third of the earlier hybrids had specialist roles among Druids, Lunar Guardians, Arkadian Divides Ferron, two or three batpony clans, and.. that's all. Some of their descendants can be found in parts of Equestria; guards, scouts, hunters, or trackers mostly.
Stack two to five earth ponies on top of each other, then three to eight in length in the shape of a large feral canine, that's what to look for. Possibly natural or living armor covered in plants, Elemarental effects, glowing blue eyes.. and the sense of creatures that know exactly what, where, when, who, and how you are."
>Pausing for six seconds, her voice tightens harshly.
"A hand is nowhere near close to losing a wing."
>Flipping through pages again, numerous dull thuds in the background are talked over.
"Not marely details to offer here but that's Druidic from start to end. Couple of notes regarding ponds partially match that description. Don't approach, that's where flora and fauna shaping occurs.
Stream could be an underground pressure seep or from a near-volcanic upswell, there's hundreds of those in the Central Moors alone. Most of the larger Equestrian volcanoes feed out through underground tunnels towards the ocean, often push a lot of water upwards. If the water's cool then it's a seep, if warm or hot that's from an upswell."
>Tapping the screen once, the clock showed 8:04AM, slightly after Dawn.
"...shit, none of these are useful. I'm going to take precisely two risks. One, check if there's a damaged crashdown that might have been restored and simply wasn't listed in logs. Two, send somepony to jump into the Archives and see what they can find regarding Lunar Druid activities in the Deep Moors. If both turn out negative, then I have no means to aid you further.
I'll check back in... five to twenty minutes. That is if neither of us are caught."

>Taking off in a fast jog and keeping close to the stream for illumination, the ground was thoroughly rigid, harder than clay though not sticking.
>Turning around a partial bend into a widened out section, spindly clumps of green, faintly bioluminescent water grass was clustered in the middle, barely visible webs trailing off each.
>Passing close to one of the crystalline trees, the thick, cylindrical heartwood, or similar, deep within brightens fractionally, a low pitched, raspy chitter occurring well above.
>Rounding a half-bend, a wide, shallow and highly reflective pool was ahead of you, smaller emerald boulders, chunks, pieces, and hundreds of large gems scattered throughout.
>Now facing what felt like southwest, the pool's center was a 4 to 6M tall cone, water exiting it in a constant stream.

/MLPOL/ Movie Night

We like movie nights on Fridays. These movie nights are usually prefaced with a Pre-Stream event before we watch a movie or two, which is then normally followed by several episodes of Ponies.

Registering an account on the streaming sites we go to is not required.

The Pre-Stream for the Movie Night usually starts at 7:00pm EST.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl is the normal room for the Pre-Stream.

The Movie Night proper usually starts at around 8:00pm or 8:30pm EST.
Location varies depending on various factors.

Stream Night Once Again!!

With a bit of the weirdness of the last week or two out of the way, we have a normal enough week this time!

I hope you all got some good sunshine and time outdoors this week!

Messing with the streaming settings hasn't been done yet, so it's another week of dub!Grimgar. These are important episodes, so we'll see if we want to re-watch them in Sub form later. Remember, these guys aren't the A-team, they're the leftovers of the group of people teleported over.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Grimgar: Of Fantasy and Ash

Episode 03 - Are Goblin Pouches Filled with Our Dreams?
Haruhiro and his friends continue to hunt goblins and gradually become used to their new world and learn to fight as a unit.

Episode 04 - Sky Dancing with Ash
Becoming more confident, the group starts to hunt goblins in larger numbers, but when they encounter a group too powerful for them to defeat they retreat.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Pony of the Week is Scootaloo.

See you in the stream room!

Boeing Whistleblower Dead

John Barnett, a former 32-year employee of Boeing, found dead in his vehicle from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" before arriving for his third day of cross examination in a lawsuit against the company.

I'm a little late for the party on this one as it is a day old, but I was busy and just got around to it. Regardless, this is interesting timing, which I will go over. This started when John was finished working for the company after being not only ignored for safety concerns, but actively told that he was not to work contrary to the company.

He would state in his interview back in 2019: "That entire team came down. They were from the military side. My impression was their mindset was – we are going to do it the way we want to do it. Their motto at the time was – we are in Charleston and we can do anything we want."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-163.1-163.231

I'm unsure if this means that a literal military component of Boeing was involved like contractors, or if it was a militaristic mindset. Either way, John stated he noticed something was up a bit over a decade ago "in 2011 and 2012, it was more of paperwork administrative issues – they didn’t want us documenting defects, they didn’t want us to complete paperwork correctly. They wanted us to just close jobs that weren’t done just to get the jobs closed out. It was more administrative."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-175.1-175.279

He goes on to explain that "defective parts were mishandled and sometimes lost or refitted to planes from the company scrapyard to meet production timelines." and "he had discovered major issues in some of the planes' oxygen systems which could lead to one in four masks not functioning properly."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-1705.21-1705.150

More concerning is the company both denying his direct claim but acknowledging it as true internally as "it acknowledged that an inspection in 2017 found that some oxygen bottles were in fact not deploying properly."
https://archive.is/udepd#selection-937.367-937.477

There was also a problem with how the planes were assembled, using the wrong type of bolts that would leave sharp shavings around that risked slicing vital wiring and interfering with components. "They are up to three inches long. They are razor sharp titanium slivers. When the fasteners are installed to hold down the floorboards, the threads are getting peeled off the fasteners. And those threads are falling down on top of the wire bundles and electronic equipment. Over time, as the vibrations of the airplane work the slivers into the wire bundles and into the connectors, they are going to short something out eventually. I don’t see how it is possible that they don’t." "After I filed my complaint, the FAA came in and did a spot audit. They audited five airplanes in Everett and five airplanes in Charleston. And they found the metal slivers in all ten airplanes they inspected."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-319.1-319.481

And, in case there was any doubt, as we all could guess, this ties back around to diversity mandates, even if the media refuses to name it. "Boeing has denied Barnett's allegations but a 2017 investigation by the FAA found issues that plagued their aircraft." "The FAA found at least 53 non-conforming parts with unknown locations in the factory." "They also found that mechanics at Spirit AeroSystems, one of Boeing's suppliers, used hotel key cards to check door seals and Dawn soap as a lubricant."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2507.0-2517.151

I suppose only the dumbest of niggers, spics, and token white liberals may apply at Boeing these days. In fact, they had to teach these dumbfucks that there was a difference in measurement types. "In February, the FAA concluded that Boeing had "a lack of awareness of safety-related metrics at all levels." "It also said that "employees had difficulty distinguishing the differences among various measuring methods, their purpose and outcomes." "In response to the recent FAA audit, Boeing released a statement that they would have conversations with employees that do not understand manufacturing procedures reported the Washington Post."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2539.0-2551.1

Enter this trial where John is suing Boeing for defamation by calling him a liar when they did internal investigations and proved him telling the truth. He had completed two days of the cross examination. He then was found dead in his truck before arriving to court for the third day. "He was found dead in his orange pickup truck with a silver handgun in his hand and finger still on the trigger, according to a police report." "A worker at the motel where Barnett was staying reported hearing a "pop" sound near the back of the building where the ex-employee was found dead around 9:30 am." All of this apparently happened on the 9th and he declared deceased on the 11th.
https://archive.is/2I6KK#selection-1745.1-1779.3

I do find this timing especially interesting given the recent news of Homeland Security getting involved with gaming diversity, as this anon covered.

It seems we are rapidly approaching the phase of replacement where you aren't allowed to comment on everything failing because it might slow down things a bit to try and do patchwork. Even telling niggers how measuring works is approaching hatecrime it seems, which warrants your immediate termination. No no, not termination from your job, your life.

I've been thinking about communism and how it's followers seem to act like crusaders and religious zealots. Hell, I thought I was gonna argue that Communism was "the religion of the atheists," (opium of the masses, am I right?). Then I noticed how people don't just act like this in communism, they act like it with other fringe political ideologies.

It's an age old thing where people will jump at the chance to be bad with a get-out-of-jail-free card of "righteous cause," including and up to, murder and torture. And yet in almost all of these circumstances, the grunts believe in the message, but leadership is corrupt to the core. Usually, that's because they're the very thing the organization hates, or they don't believe in the message at all. Even in the oldest religions of time-passed, people still do this, the difference being, in the older religions, The smaller parts of the overall organization are earnest and accountable.

The phenomena of people making their favorite political view a core part of themselves to the point of them feeling like their entire personal being is attacked when someone speaks out against it goes back a long ways. Nowadays, this looks like it's something more-common, yet at the same time, there is a concentrated effort by (((exactly who you think it is))) to basically gaslight the entire internet for one reason or another.

I mean, one of the biggest things they would want now more than ever, is for the doomer shit that people post on shitty imageboards like cuckchan to be true. They sure as hell want every single dystopian fantasy that their minds create to become real because that would mean a triumph for them, this is why people gotta Meme Responsbily.

And I wonder, if now more than ever, with the rush to create the ultimate consumer, (((the usual suspects))) are trying to engineer religonized-consumers. Corporate fanboyism and worship isn't anything new, hell, I used to be that way too, I just think that there seems to be a far-more-deliberate effort to do this.

Shit, look at insurance commercials nowadays, they basically want their institutions to be worshipped. Every single protagonist of their commercials that works there is -obsessed- with insurance and their company to a level of fanboyism. Yet despite this, most of the insurance industry spends it's money on commercials rather than funding their customers. Insurance is not only one of the most corrupt industries in existence, I bet they're the biggest NGO customers of dragnet-spying in the world. They would want to know if their customers are not trying to steal their money, so they buy into spying apps to see if customers are hurt or not, logic be damned if the person actually -was- hurt or not.

"Why not make convenient fanboys (worshippers) out of people?" They ask.

They made a religion out of opposing Jewish tradition and got half of Europe's Jews to join in. So we see a bunch of very very evil people committing every crime imaginable, and their Early Life section checks out.

https://archive.ph/ruSlw The Jesuit Oath

I've heard that the Jesuits invented Communism in Paraguay.

Also, a lot of the communists are actually Muslims hiding it.

"Islam wishes to destroy all states and governments anywhere on the face of the earth which are opposed to the ideology and programme of Islam regardless of the country or the Nation which rules it" - Maududi

"This universal declaration of the freedom of man on earth from every authority except that of Allah, and the declaration that sovereignty is Allah's alone" - Qutb

So they view their religion as total war against every government other than Islam.

... and a ton of the communists are simply on the Russian payroll.

It turned troon and is now a "female" MMA fighter. I've seen links between McLaughlin and Tacticool. I think Tacticool interviewed McLaughlin, it's been awhile and my memory is hazy.

Raise hell, stop using ai, moreover educate people that it's glownigger OPs all the way down for war, control and depopulation. OpenAI and Palantir was started by the same faggot, Peter Thiel.
>Founded in 2003 with funding from the CIA’s In-Q-Tel program, Palantir specializes in data mining and analytics. Its only client until 2008 was the CIA.
>Last year in 2023 Palantir unveiled its AIP, or Artificial Intelligence Platform, which can serve as an aid in battlefield intelligence and decision-making, including analyzing enemy targets and proposing battle plans.

Bastards didn't get to kill as many people as they wanted with covid's fear mongering to take the gene therapy and had to back down on making it mandatory even after most of the goy took the first shot, people wouldn't take infinite boosters. Ai is designed to blindside us into training (((enslavement tools))) like how covid was done with the notion of "safety" to corral people like cattle. The (((ai war))) in Ukraine with Palantir can be why it's been deadlocked with no progress, because it's been thrown into a new environment to train to kill enemy goys indiscriminately and it's shit at war strategy for now.

It's already a thing that Russia adopted Ai to facial ID track people protesting like China does, so there's no reason to not believe they're not throwing their soldiers into the ML meatgrinder on their side too. 'Ai' aka all (((machine learning))) is done through rapid failures, exponentially faster than a human can fail and correct through repetition and revision. Therefor longer the war goes on the more accurate and deadly the Ai becomes like skynet because Ukrainians and Russians are being used as guineapigs to be blood sacrificed against the machine learning how to more effectively kill bad goys. This is of course why they're ignoring any calls to stop. It may just be (((Ai vs Ai))) targeting humans to be depopulated in an algorithmic war of attrition to see which kike backed Ai comes out on top like investors in a stock exchange.

So this makes 2 immensely fake and gay propaganda wars that are being solely used to train their Ai which is just shaping up to be their (((digital golems))) by the same CIAnigger company, Palantir. It looks like they're trying to quickly finish their GlowOPs projects to cement their rule before the world wakes up to being jewed and since big tech is a monopoly orgy they're not intending to give people a choice or even being allowed to opt out, (((ai))) will be forceibly integrated into society and their indoctrination can then go undetected or unquestioned with a blockchain digital ID, with a China style credit score or worse.

Don't wanna start over again. But tbh, if the perceived danger turns out to be real. Nothing short of a civil war is going to solve the issue.
Not saying you can stuff the genie back into the bottle. But unless "the powers that be" are ousted from their throne. AI is going to be far more detrimental than benefitial for the dissidents. They got the tech under their control. Entering an arms race against the corporate mass is a death sentence. So the only option is to act before it's too late.

This has been reality for a long time now. Nobody likes what big tech is doing to us, and nobody is really comfortable with the way algorithms are being integrated into everything.

Civil war may not be the best word for it. I'm essentially talking about a power grab to topple the current establishment.
To me, in a pragmatic way, this technology is similar to the regulation of firearms. Sure, people have come up with several workarounds. But allow it to go on long enough, and sooner or later firearm ownership will be abolished.
You can't adapt forever. It'll have to come to arms eventually.

It was only 4 years ago when everyone and their grandma wanted to get into programming. Damn did times change fast.
This boom in AI might just result in an industry that elevates blue collar work again, cuz machines ultimately can't fix themselves. I don't know if that means something akin to old robber baron days or simply adaptation/integration into pre-existing work.

Leave an Image, Get a Green

I'd like to try something new and hopefully fun. For every image that gets posted in this thread, the next Anon who posts should write a short green about it. This is based off of an idea that was being played with in the writing general, but it will probably be more visible and get more participation if it is given its own thread.

Here is how it works:

Anon A posts an image. The next anon who comes along, should he be so inspired, will compose a short green that tells the story of that image. Then, the next anon who drops by can post a new image, and another anon can write a green based on that. And so on in that fashion.

The original idea was to stick to a rigid image->green->image->green structure: if the last post in the thread is an image, you should post a green, and if the last post is a green, you should post an image. I still think we should aim for that, but since this is a slow board I'm not going to enforce it too much. If you see an image in the thread and you get an idea, feel free to write a green about it, even if it's several posts up in the thread or if someone already wrote a green for it. Likewise, if you have a bunch of random images sitting around that you would like to see someone write a green about, feel free to post them, even if the last few posts are images.

Images can be anything you like, including porn. However, I think this exercise will work best if we try to use images that don't lend themselves to an obvious interpretation. In other words, the more random and out-of-context the image is, the better it will work for this. Try to avoid images that contain captions or obvious visual gags. /pol/ style images are acceptable too, it's not just a pony thread.

Posting more than one image per post is also acceptable; however, if you are writing a green, do not include images as part of your post. Green posts should be text only, and image posts should not contain any text.

Here are a few from my collection to get the ball rolling. Feel free to pick any of these if you feel like writing something, or post some of your own if you don't like my choices.

Thread number three. Last one is apparently at bump limit.

Previous thread: >>336928 →

I'm lazy so I'm just going to copypaste the OP text from the last one since it still applies. Important bits have been bolded for emphasis.

Basically all that is said in that OP applies to this one but I'll go through the 'rules' of this thread here as well.

So, the main point of this thread is to facilitate and enable Anons' writefagging; in a similar way pride facilitates and enables aids.;^P The Anons in this thread can be separated into two camps: Anons who wants help with their writing project(s) and Anons that feel inclined to help those aforementioned shrek-colored skinheads.

Crafting and beta-reading is what we do here, any critique of literature not made by a guy submitted for this thread should be incidental; it should be when you —as a beta-reader of fics posted ITT— make a comparison between the fic your reviewing and some other story for the sake of demonstrating your point, whatever it is.

This is NOT: A review thread for unsolicited rants about random media which does not fall into the mold for how to use a reference in this thread described in the above paragraph. Meaning if you're not using —like, let's pick something arbitrary— Naruto for a comparison in your critique of someone's writing itt, then don't bring it up. I understand that tangents can happen and if it's like a few exchanges with a pair of posters; then it's fine. However, don't make this a pattern and also move whatever off-thread-topic discussion to a more fitting board/thread. There's after all no problem with finding someone to converse with and share perspectives on a subject you care about but just take it to an appropriate thread. Sidenote: Nigel, these rules applies to you in a stricter fashion because I would not have to detail them with this much precision if it weren't for you.

Read this again, because it's important:

I hope that I haven't scared anybody off. This is still suppose to be a chill af thread. Funposting is very much allowed and encouraged. It really is more that some type of posting —like, things that are completely irrelevant to the thread— does not belong here. I know, rocket-science and a rule that is seldom seen and highly unique for this thread. Perhaps you could call it a... Novelty. (You) intelligent lurker, obviously get the subtext of this OP so you probably won't need to worry about any of this. I'd say if you're unsure if what you're about to post belongs in the thread, then post it anyway. The worst that can happen is that someone tells you to move it to another thread and you get a better insight of what post belongs in thread. If you consist on fish and chips, however, I'd suggest you think twice on what you're posting and perhaps even ask beforehand if your rant about lefties and Undertale belongs here.

If there are any questions on the OP, ask away?

I think I want to change my way of writing. I struggle with writing, I think. I have two problems.

I struggle with the language barrier and with overwriting.

My struggles with the language barrier includes: A lack of vocabulary, faulty grammar, and spelling errors.

Overwriting is a bit more vague in my mind. I have a strong imagination and I can sometimes create problems in my writing. It's that I see the scene so clearly in my mind that I can't help but to write down unnecessary details about the scene.

I guess I struggle with presentation as well. I use too many redundant words or phrases. For example, I would probably write, "He fell down," instead of "He fell."

Sometimes, I think I write a too much words for something that only needs a few.

Like, if I were to use the phrase, "a house" in a sentence, I don't think I'd be able to leave it as such without at least describing it's color.

So something like this:

>He cycled past a bunch of houses.

I'd probably write this instead:

>He pedaled in a steady rhythm past a bunch of blue houses with climbing vegetation sticking to their porches' fences.

I'm gonna try to write more sentences like the first one rather than the latter.

I have kinda decided that since I struggle with these aspects of communication, I'll try to prioritize clarity and simplicity.

This is also why I'm much more wary of my sentences. I don't want them to become too long. I find that it's easy to loose track of it's inner workings then. However, I know that sentence variety is good since otherwise, the reader experiences too much stop and start.

Anyway, now you know /mlpol/. Ty for listening to my TED Talk. Feel free to tell me what you think.

After reading through my post, I realized some things. One was how many grammar problems a post I thought was flawless had. Another, that the amount of description a subject gets in your story indicates it's importance.

I think that's what pacing, partly, is. To not get bogged down with the things that aren't vital to the story and instead focus on the ones that are.

Video is actually pretty solid. Several of these points are things I've pointed out repeatedly in reviews I've done, so I feel a bit vindicated. If ever I'm in doubt, I at least know that I'm as qualified to give writing advice as some numale on YouTube.

> I don't like the word "writing" or to describe authors as "writers". I prefer "storyteller" and I think the distinction between them matters.
Definitely two separate but interrelated crafts. Writing is the act of constructing a written document, and it's mostly a technical process. Storytelling, or maybe "storycraft" would be a better word for it, is a more nuanced skill that is harder to teach or explain.

Crafting a story is about not only putting the events of the story together, but understanding who your characters are and why they are doing what they are doing. I generally agree with you that storycraft is the more important of the two, as it determines whether or not the story speaks to the reader or moves them. Writing is the act of communicating it to the reader. Someone who can write well but can't put a good story together isn't likely to move anyone regardless of how prettily they can write.

That Chatoyance Kafka thing I reviewed earlier is a good example of this. By Fimfic standards, Chatoyance is actually a pretty good writer, but his storycraft leaves a lot to be desired. His characters were mostly bland and forgettable, the story wasn't all that interesting or moving, and it suffered from pacing problems.

That said, I wouldn't say that writing should be entirely discounted. Even if you have a great story with great characters and you can see every scene clearly inside your head, if you can't communicate it to people in language they can understand, you'll never be able to make the audience see what you see.

Rainmetall is a good example of this issue. The author clearly had something epic in mind, but between the ESL and the bizarre formatting, it was just too damned hard to understand. Most of his vision was lost in translation.

The ideal is to have both skills, but if you're going to be strong in one and weak in the other, being proficient at storycraft and deficient at writing is better than the other way around.

>I struggle with the language barrier and with overwriting.
>My struggles with the language barrier includes: A lack of vocabulary, faulty grammar, and spelling errors.
To be perfectly honest, this is why I let you slide on a lot of things that I would hammer other authors over. As I've said before, you have a pretty good instinct for building a story, you mostly just struggle with actually writing it out. Quite a bit of this is probably due to ESL. I agree that you'd probably be better off using simple language that conveys what's happening, rather than trying to get too fancy. However:

>>He cycled past a bunch of houses.
>I'd probably write this instead:
>>He pedaled in a steady rhythm past a bunch of blue houses with climbing vegetation sticking to their porches' fences.
and
> if we followed the advice that characterization is a always a plus. However, if I force characterization on character who's only purpose in my story is to fight in an action scene, I'm not using my time on what makes me passionate about my story.
Something to keep in mind here is that sometimes these details do matter. The important skill you'll want to develop is learning to sense which details are important enough to include. Sometimes the color of the houses or the type of vegetation are important to the setting.

For instance, in Absalom, Absalom Faulkner spends a lot of time talking about wisteria, and climbing vines on the sides of the plantation house, and shit like that. The little details don't matter to the plot, but they do help paint a picture of the natural environment of the American South, which actually is essential to the story.

Likewise with characters. If a character just fills a perfunctory role in a single scene, he probably doesn't need any serious characterization, and it would be a waste of time and space trying to cook up an elaborate backstory for him. However, it's worth keeping in mind that the character is still a distinct personality, and that for this imaginary person, the moment he appears in your story is the culmination of his entire life up until that point. Evil Ninja A might serve no role in the story other than to throw a few punches for Anon to deflect before getting knocked unconscious and tossed off the roof. However, he has a distinct personality and a past, and all of that factors into why he is where he is, and why he is trying to use his sick Ninja skills to try and beat Anon into submission. Thinking about your characters in this way and trying to understand them will actually make it easier to write them in a more simplified way: if you know exactly who Evil Ninja A really is, then you should instinctively know what he will do in the story and thus won't need to spend any serious page space explaining his actions.

It's worth noting that, while this technically has to do with execution, it's a storycraft concept more than a writing concept.

As an aside, one of the things I've been trying to work on recently is developing a distinct narrative voice in my stories, instead of just narrating events. For instance, the last thing I did on Fimfic is a story told by an old pony looking back on a formative event that happened when he was young. The events of the story would play out the same one way or the other, but the way it's told adds an interpretive layer that otherwise wouldn't be there. The older version of the character is able to reflect on these events and see them in a way that his younger self wouldn't have been able to at the time, thus the narrative voice is actually part of the story.

As another aside, I've resumed work on The Muffins of Madness, and I'm trying to do something similar with narrative voice in that one.

Equestria is made of flanks

Everything in Equestria and all the other surrounding area is made of pony flank.
The reality all beings in Equestria experience doesn't exist unless a pony has their cutie mark.
Until a pony with that cutie mark does show up, creating or manipulating or even interacting with whatever it is, is far more difficult than it would be in a regular reality.
The hard physical properties is determined by how many cutie marks across time and space and the degree of expression any one pony achieves.
The more successful or wide spread the more easily it is to utilise the flank power representation.
Consider Twilight Sparkle and the magic of friendship, the first act is creating a friend. That being Spike the dragon, for an impossible test.
Once Twilight Sparkle did that friendship has a physical and metaphorical anchor to exist in the past and in the future.
Fact is once a pony's flank is near by the act of doing similar feats is eased, usually. The closer a pony is to the flank power the less intensive it is to have the specific flank exist.
Sweetie Bell burned the juice. There's more cutie marks of anything else other than cooking juice and that being poured in a glass. A being in Equestria has to connect at least a little to the correct or similar flank to bring the desired result.
Sweetie Bell, reached for other adjacent results.
In Applejack needs a naptime she makes baked bads. A failure to connect to the appropriate flanks.
The common method of connecting to those flanks is knowledge transfer.
>Prove pony flanks do make up the world.
Every other creature and the area they live in is nigh impossible for themselves to change. The effort needed to connect to a flank to make it be is incredibly huge for those without a flank in the game.
<Zebra proto-cutie mark
By mimicking flanks they can more easily tap into other flanks.
<Villains
They all have different ways of tapping into flanks.
That is how they can enact what they do. It's also why they lose, because they don't got no flank or are out numbered by flanks.
Which brings us to the Bad Deserted Timeline, flanks are disconnected making the effects also disappear.
This almost occurs in Starlight Glimmer's town, only kept afloat by the cutie marks being in storage and being in Equestria home of the flanks.
This is why the elements of harmony sent Nightmare Moon to the moon, being separated from other flanks makes anything and anybody weaker.
The flank connection and how Equestria exists is why Discord actually has any agency and power.
