I think some earth ponies are strong as her in the past & preaent like Applejack & Big Mac, she’s stronger then big mac because she lift up a little school with ease

Honestly, I like that pony.

And here I was thinking her. Flip the color scheme and who do you get?
 

@Number1pegasus  
And here I thought it was weird that I made that connection! Well, it still is weird, but at least someone else is weird with me.

with that strength and those colors, nopony is going to convince me shes not bic mac and cheerilees secret love child

“Hey, these are for ball emergencies only!”

In Testing 1 2 3.

Isn’t there stuff in that school that could be easily broken if it was tipped to the side along with everything else?

@Serious B  
Flying machine? When did that happen?

@Shello  
Okay, that one sound cool. Looks like it’s even tagged already.

@Shello  
…I actually like that one

@Shello  
A cool name for a cute filly.

I shall call her Powerhouse.

Oops. Ignore that last sentence fragment; part of sentence I changed while editing, bleah.

@PonyPon  
I’m sure you can get better at magic within your range and become pretty darn awesome. No one can use all of it, but all can use some of it. If your talent was, say, healing, research might be needed to go from “it takes a lot out of you to repair a papercut” to “so, they said your brain tumor was inoperable, huh? Gimme five minutes.”
 
All unicorns aren’t Doctor Strange. But they don’t have to be for there to be plenty of a point in getting as good as you can be with whatever yours is for.
 
But all u

@Phantom Rider  
Some people are suggesting Dilemma after the hedgehog dilemma, or “the desire to be close to others but the fear that closeness will bring harm to those they want to be close to”.

@Phantom Rider  
Then what’s the damn point of all the magical research if much less than a handful of the population can actually use it?
 
I’m not saying any unicorn can move the sun if they try hard enough, I’m saying they should at least have some room for improvement.
 
Because surely, unicorns working within their own talents should be able to excel if they wish it? And not be hornblocked by the ‘you can’t be as good as Twilight Royalty’ rule the universe seems to work on when it comes to their magic.
 
Sorry if I’m starting to rant.

At this point, I don’t know how it’s an issue anymore. We’ve seen it over and over and it was said outright by Celestia. At this point, when people ask “why do you need to ‘make’ earth ponies stronger,” it’s like asking why we feel the need to act like pegasi have wings. What I want to know is why some people need it to not be true. Isn’t it cool that Pinkie Pie can toss Bulk Biceps aside like he’s weightless, that Cheerilee can smash down doors and walls, that walls made of either metal or stone (it was hard to tell) are like glass before the ridiculously adorable Ms. Peachbottom?

Headcanons are free, of course, but I really don’t see how that’s show-supported. Early on, it was put to us quite clearly why there is exactly one Twilight Sparkle: most unicorns have a little magic related to their special talent but her special talent is magic itself. And Twilight is not in the same ballpark as Tia and Lulu yet. The idea that your average generic unicorn who can’t open a jar of peanut butter without Rainbow’s help (and whacking it a couple times for good measure) could just do some reading and be princess-class is pretty far removed from what the show gives us on magic.

@MezzoDragon  
Could work.

@Wiimeiser  
Iron Fetlocks?

@Reb4Ham  
For the name… Iron Knuckle? I think that’s a Nintendo trademark. Not that ponies have knuckles anyway… They actually do, they call them fetlocks.

@Background Pony #DCD7  
No idea what you have against boxes. Earth ponies and boxes are the best combo ever.
 
Also, you seem to be pretty offended over something yet I don’t understand what you’re upset about.

@Bronitarian
 
Now I imagine her ‘playing’ piano

I like to think she’s related to Bulk Bicep, only so I can say that “THE ART OF LIFTING HAS BEEN PASSED DOWN THE BICEP FAMILY LINE FOR GENERATIONS!”
