Compare that setting to this thing I decided to start. Have, actually, thought of a few times.

It's a stark departure but still recognizable territory. Not only is everyone a pony, there are no horns or wings.

Oh, they can still fly, but aside from seeing them fly (not sure yet if they can cloud-walk) the tufts of ear-hair on the inside edges of their ears are "frosted" silver, like how some fantasy novels set down that a line of silver hair marks a magic user.

Unicorn have that frosting on the outside of their ears.

Basically I was trying to recreate the good-magic parts of MLP in a way that would, if I were to pursue actual publication, clearly mark it as "totally an unrelated universe"
...which, regardless of what they get called, probably means cutie marks either need to go away, or be drastically reconsidered.
