After going through MLP memory-lane, aka old MLP grimdarks, I'm low-key getting back into being a pegasister, fuck Harry Potter. I would rather ironically or somewhat unironically get back into MLP. Mostly gen 1 and gen 3 tho.

Thank you to linguist Gretchen McCulloch for teaching me about phonetic assimilation, and for teaching me that if you stand around in public reading texts from a linguist and murmuring example phrases to yourself, people will eventually ask if you're okay.
Fluid Speech [Explained]
Transcript
[Above the panel:]
Fun fact: Experienced speakers constantly merge, drop, and alter sounds when talking at normal conversational speed to optimize for efficient mouth movement.
[The panel shows four labeled side profiles of a mouth with paths of sounds made in different parts of the mouth. There is a label "More fluid" with an arrow pointing to the right.
From left to right:]
[Label:] Going to /ɡoʊɪŋ tu/
[Path:] (G O >> I >> NG >> >> ) ( >> T >> >> O)
[Label:] Goin' to /ɡoʊɪn tə/
[Path:] (G O >> I >> N)(T >> >> O)
[Label:] Gonna /ɡʌn.ə/
[Path:] (G O >> NN >> A)
[Label:] How fluent speakers actually say it when speaking rapidly /ɡə̃/
[Path:] (G >> >> ə̃)
[Below the panel:] If you think you don't do this, try to use "hot potato" in a sentence and fully pronounce the first "t" without sounding like an alien impersonating a human.

Neither unicorn nor pegasus, Alicorns appear to have traits from both species, but are so much more beyond that.
The first alicorns are known as The Two Sisters, a pair of unicorns with magic so potent, they changed the face of the sky forever. After growing wings, the young alicorns were called princesses and treated like royalty, thanked for their gift of the sun and moon. But as time went on, it became clear that these were not simply horses with extra features, but something else entirely.
When mature, alicorns are massive deities that stretch across the sky, ferrying the sun and moon to all corners of the world, leaving magic and dreams in their wake.
Being larger than the tallest mountains, goddesses generally don't interact with ponies on an individual basis. When they do, it is a terrifying honor; one that will alter the course of your life forever. Listen to the Sun speaking into your mind, and pray you are still the same pony when she is done.
