>>1089 >but the assumption that most of the fandom held was that it was an absolute monarchy of some sort. Everything is made of implication,what could we expect from an implying site?
>so it does make me question how much hard power the Princesses do hold. Maye she is like a figure but she cannot hold too much in order to not have rebels or seem authoritarian.
>Maybe contradicted by her use of magic in The Hooffields and McColts. The comics are secondary canon that are oftentimes ignored and sometimes directly contraindicated in the show. She used magic on them but it was a move to make them stop, not use it as a weapon. She has used it with the mane 6 before. Again, there is not a holy bible nor solid principles to clarify what should be done or not. Using the comics is certainly not the most indicated way to inform, just treating them as some bonus or optional addition to some random things.
>Though honestly what I find more strange is how centralized the EEA seemed. >unicorns use magic to clear the weather and implications that various towns have their own traditions at least between the pony races . Plus the fact that Ponyvile itself seeming to have some authority on how the weather schedules is handled suggested some anatomy here as well. >The EEA seems to conflict with both those ideas, seemly authority that is both rigid and extremely centralized, rather then Pegasi being the ones in charge of flight certifications and weather and Unicorns being the ones in charge of magic, and earth ponies either being on a town by town There is certainly some conflict to their purpose. Not going to say that it´s flawed but this seems that while the EEA checks the standards of education for the three races, it has more power than the princesses when it comes to this. I would focus more that the EEA had mixed and treated Ponyville as the place of harmony between the three races just to remember that Ponyville was the place they got together. Meanwhile,Canterlot, Appleloosa and Cloudsdale seem to be clearly separated between them. I swear that maybe ponies were complete elitists and that many of them cannot hold the mixture between them that well as if it was implied. Maybe the pink paradise was the result of giving themselves a chance first and more of an established harmony as seasons have come by.They know each other an can treat themselves fine but those separate locations and the first visits to their places save certain events could actually mean that they have hold some elitism until they have seen menaces like the Changelings or Tirek. When those disgraces and hard moments happen, they get more empathy and their little (but potentially used as an elitist weapon) are left behind and mean nothing to their friendships.
