Added DiffLines:

* GiantFlyer: The ability of Pegasi to fly despite their size relative to their wingspan, not to mention a horse-like body plan being wildly unsuited for it, is explained by their "wings" not actually being wings as such, but rather specialized organs that conduct magic energy.


Added DiffLines:

* SufficientlyAnalyzedMagic: Magic exists and enables a lot of aspects of the ponies' and other creatures' biology that would otherwise be impossible, but it's treated simply as a form of energy that works according to consistent principles that can be understood, and which certain creatures have gained the ability to use through the evolution of certain bodily structures, not unlike the way some eels and similar animals use electricity.

* DeconstructionFic: [[http://jayrockin.tumblr.com/post/129273552808/vexov-replied-to-your-photosetsome-of-my-weird This post]] discusses how dark the world of Equestria is when you think about it, and argues that Celestia is not as benevolent a ruler as she seems.

!!This series contains examples of...

* AscendedToCarnivorism: The ponies gained sapience partially due to feeding on dairy and eggs (which is canon to the show).
* BigCreepyCrawlies: The changelings are interpreted as large {{Four Legged Insect}}s that are evolved to mimic ponies' appearance.
* DoingInTheWizard: Downplayed. While the creature anatomy is mainly based in reality, magic still exists in the world.
* EatDirtCheap: The dragons have powerful jaws and molars specialized for eating gemstones.
* FeatherFingers: Averted. The ponies have specialized five-toed hooves used for grasping, unlike the nub-hooves in the show.
* FourLeggedInsect: The changelings. Justified, in that they evolved to mimic ponies.
* MixAndMatchCritters: The ponies are ponies InNameOnly, with the proportions of a baby goat, rabbit-like faces, grasping hooves inspired by the feet of aardvarks, and (in later updates) manatee-like lips.
* NeverGrewUp:
** Spike's growth is stunted and he is stuck in his infant size due to his incomplete diet.
** The changelings' "evil" forms are interpreted as their juvenile form, and Chrysalis prevented them from reaching their adult form by refusing them their full food source.
* OurLichesAreDifferent: Celestia is interpreted as a lich due to using magic to and prevent herself from dying.
* {{Pegasus}}: They are depicted with lobed membranous bat-like wings due to some x-rays in the show revealing that pegasi have bones in their wing feathers.
