[@matrixster6238]

I’ve seen some theories and it’s believed that the hooves are like cartilage and can bend for grabbing, but they can flex them to make them super hard for walking and climbing

[@CharginChuck]

Gen 5 just goes all in on the sticky hooves though. There's one especially egregious example early on where Sunny "holds on" to the back of a trolley to be pulled along behind it, by just pressing her hoof against it. Her hoof, which is wearing a skate. Just stuck to the trolley. Once you see it, you will never be able to not notice it.

[@Scharrez]

They also often hold things by clenching them between hoof and fetlock

[@Kayta-Linda]

Lol. Dude, literally the intro to the show establishes that the princesses of Equestria control the sun and the moon. That’s literally the first lore thing we ever hear about this show.

[@Dusxio]

Honestly, the logistics of it have been a debate in the fandom for generations. The 'they move the 'planet', not the actual celestial bodies' perspective is a popular one, as well as the 'Equestria's sun and moon are actually the same size and much closer in orbit around the planet'

[@devonm042690]

First _lore_ thing? First thing period.

[@Kayta-Linda]

@@Dusxio See, but the “they move the planet” theory dies right at the beginning when you consider that each sister is responsible for a different body. It wouldn’t make much sense if they both just moved the same planet instead. The other though? Sure, that’s possible. But also completely irrelevant to anything going on, unless fanfics somehow make it so.

[@Dusxio]

@@Kayta-Linda Yeah, I'm 100% behind the 'they move celestial objects' logic. The show proves it. Just listing some other ideas

[@Vengir]

@@Kayta-Linda We know Celestia used to control both sun and moon for a thousand year when Luna couldn't. At some point it wasn't impossible to imagine that they did in fact rotate the planet for half a nychthemeron each. But the more we saw the examples of it working, the more apparent it was that it has to be moving the celestial bodies directly.

[@Triple8_Extras]

Most of the time when something weird happens in the show, it's summed up with 4 words - "Pinkie Pie or Discord"

2:31 Twilight knows teleportation magic, and also it was in the first season and she was stressed because it had been a long time without any "friendship problems" popping up and since Princess Celestia sent Twilight Sparkle to Ponyvile to learn about friendship, Twilight was worried that Celestia would think she was slacking or something (it's been a long while so I don't remember it perfectly). So Twilight Sparkle kept searching the whole town for friendship issues to fix while becoming more unhinged the longer she couldn't find any. Then she did something dumb by cursing a dilapidated old plushie of hers to make anyone who views it fight over having it so that she would have a problem to solve, but then a few minutes later she realized how stupid she was and had to try to track down the plushie to uncurse it. And yes, afyer the plushie incident was resolved she did end up telling Celestia about her own mistake and why she did it and Celestia helped calm Twilight down.

⁠@@RaptorNX01 my theory is that nature DOES work by itself, but the ponies got so used to controlling it themselves for their own needs that they just take for granted that the princesses control the Sun and moon (since they did it for over 1000 years). My evidence for this is that the everfree forest “grows by itself” and it freaks the ponies out haha

@@shadamyandsonamylover Quite possibly. even fallout equestria kind of explored this idea a bit, or at least, referenced it. nature adapting to pony control. tho there did used to be a question of the planet being more like terry pratchett's "Discworld".
