also imagine if the magic mirrors weren’t actually portals to other dimensions but just teleporters to places on the same flat earth that’s too far for most ponies to travel to using normal means.
That sounds interesting! It would a pretty neat way of working in both original species and locations and a crossover or two…
Hmm… assuming a typical eight-times-the-size-of-Earth Minecraft world, flat and either disk or square-shaped, the Sun and Moon just go “beneath” it to account for the show’s canon astronomical behavior, it eventually fades into the Far Lands/the Wyld/whatever when you get to the edge, mirrors and suchlike portals to connect between distant parts and a pocket dimension or two… I feel a new headcanon coming on…
How far could a Rainbow Dash fly if she could fly without getting tired and taking a nap?
I wouldn’t know about RD specifically, but this reminds me of something I was thinking about some time ago. I like the headcanon that pegasi are more omnivorous than other ponies (as are earth ponies, technically, but in their case it rock-eating plus plant-eating, the pegasi still have the greatest capacity for meat, although their diet is still a lot more herbivorous than, say, ours). So it occurred to me that, assuming omnivory, a pegasus might be a very good explorer when it comes to crossing seas – all they’d need is a map and/or a compass for orientation, a cloud for resting and fresh water, a fishing rod or a net for getting food, and they’d be set for weeks at least.

Which of course begs a question – are Equestrian term limits ridiculously long, or are the sisters just that popular and have kept up a millennium-long reelection streak?
