Do we mention how the legends of the world were brought back from the space between worlds, and that said legends are pretty much lesser versions because friendship and love are literal forces that are OP pls nerf.
My favorite part (conceptually, not specific scenes) is that upon the big reveal that the power of friendship is a literal and very potent source of power in this setting, the god-empress assigns a grad student to study the phenomenon.
Literally goes up to this powerful wizard-in-training with no social experience and basically says ‘okay I need to you figure out how this whole “friendship” thing works, document your findings, and report back to me. The safety of the realm depends on this mission. Your research budget is unlimited and includes room and board and a private library.’
And then said grad student goes on to destroy multiple population centers through friendship-based lab accidents before figuring out enough to ascend to become the goddess of friendship.
Sometimes that’s how it be, man
Also, William Shatner voices a pony and it’s very sad.
The survival of the planet is dependent on ponies being nice to each other because literal frost demons will cover the world in a frozen hellscape if they arnt.
- So called “Reformation Spells” exist in this universe, are allegedly powerful enough to work on a god and are used by the “good” guys oO
- The god-empress frequently puts her subjects through misery and risks all of her realm so her favorite protege can learn a lesson
- There is small, unprotected settlement right next to a forrest full of giant-ass, pony murdering monsters, and every body is totally chill most of the time
- There are godlike being that literally control the movement of the sun and moon and villains constantly constantly try to murder/overpower/imprison them for there own selfish reasons without thinking about the consequences for the world
- While those godlike beings seem to have a certain control over the celestial bodies, other creatures are able to control them as well, and sometimes when they actually got captured day and night are fine - maybe it is all just a big scam after all…
- There is a big military force that tries to defeat monsters and gods with spears
- cows and sheep show sentience but live as second class creators
- Magic allows to turn living beings into objects that are still living (”kill…. me…”)
- Magic allows to conjure something out of nothing (and still most magical beings use it for levitating stuff)
- aforementioned three schoolchildren have now been forced by destiny to stick together for the rest of their lives, or they literally have no purpose (I assume if one of them dies, the rest has to follow)
