Limestone is so lovable. The tsundere without the total bitch aspect.

Man, the third panel melted my heart

Awwww.

it was a big rock?

“I threw a rock at him!”  
Killer Croc Approves!

This Comic is so DAMN GOOD!

@Cirrus Light  
Indeed. My comment was directed towards @Sdf1jjak ’s comment.

@Zebasiz  
I don’t think color is actually helpful in a surgery, for example. Everything’s just different shades of red… With a few exceptions. I don’t know if those exceptions are very useful, though. AFAIK, things are identified by location and shape. Color can tell you something about it, sometimes, but it’s not necessary for the surgery, I don’t think.

I agree wholeheartedly and hope we have similar, non-vindictive, mocking in season 6.

@Background Pony #936E  
I only said that warning, so as to ensure this does not gain a “drama in the comments”-tag as a result of a discussion; such is ALWAYS the inevitable outcome.

@raw19  
Her imitation in For Whom The Sweetie Belle Toils was much more amusing since there were some hard feelings behind the imitation in Sisterhooves Social.

@Zebasiz
 
I love Sweetie Belle imitating Rarity. That scene was truly hilarious.

@Zebasiz  
On a barely related note, I can’t get enough of Sweetie Belle imitating Rarity.

@Pagan  
I know I was just talking about the one question the other person brought up~
 
Though, apparently Sweetie Belle has some issues with differentiating her reds~  
“That’s not red, it’s cinnamon~”

@Zebasiz  
But ponies aren’t color blind they mention colors all the time especially Rarity when she talks about dresses.

Let’s Back off of the discussion on the official comics before it DOES turn into anything unsavory, regardless of one’s personal opinion of them.
 
@Cirrus Light  
Indeed. It’s also like how they show a small injury that hurts a lot by exaggerating the physical look. Like slamming a hoof in a door, or getting it poked by something sharp, they’ll animate the hoof larger and throbbing, and color it red as well~
 
Someone else also brought up color-blindness and how vets/doctors would work. But can’t doctors and vets in our world work with color-blindness as well? I haven’t personally met any, and I expect it WOULD make identifying at a glance more difficult, but not impossible~

@Background Pony #936E  
That edge fest of a comic isn’t even worth mentioning.

@Background Pony #936E  
Is it hating if it’s true? They are pretty damn bad.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Oh great, more comic hating…

@Background Pony #8EAB  
Yes, she broke her wing, but there wasn’t any bleeding, even when it would continue to get fractured later in the episode.
 
And on a side note, NEVER mention the comics.

This face is great.  

@Background Pony #8EAB  
Future Twilight got/had a cut, and it was red.
 
I like to interpret it as this: in cartoons, things are proportioned more in how we observe them than how they actually are. Someone’s head, irl, is tiny compared to their body. But typically, when you interact with people your attention is on their face more than their body.
 
Thus, in cartoons, their heads are as big as how much attention we give heads irl.
 
Likewise, irl, if a wind/breeze comes along, we can tell it by feeling it, hearing it, and seeing a huge amount of tiny details (leaves shifting in trees, grass swaying, ripples on a puddle, etc). We can’t feel a cartoon, and a lot of those details aren’t even drawn in the first place, so to get us to “see” and “feel” the wind, animators draw white lines blowing along, even though irl, you never see white lines in a gentle wind.
 
There’s countless examples of that: exaggerating to convey a message.
 
I take cartoon violence the same way: when Twilight crashes, see didn’t actually make a huge dirt pile and dig in the ground. But to make the viewer feel the pain, they dramatized it.
 
That’s why you get things like that, but then Rainbow breaks her wing. It’s not that they’re any more invincible than us, it’s just their pains are dramatized.
 
But in Rainbow’s case, it wasn’t a dramatization, it was actually that bad, hence the injury.

@ShimmeringStallion  
Actually, they do get hurt sometimes. Rainbow Dash broke her wing in one episode. I would imagine that if the ponies can break their bones, that they can get injured enough to get cut and scraped to the point of drawing blood. Also, in the MLP comics, issue #3 of Queen Chrysalis’ return, Chrysalis kills a kitten. While the image used to represent it isn’t red, it is drawn in a way to indicate that it was a very messy death.
 
I’m guessing that Hasbro just vetoes the blood idea since it’s still supposed to be a show viewable to all ages, including young children.

A pony that faints at the sight of blood? Not sure how to feel.
 
Not surprised, at least. Seen it too often before.

@Sarachi  
I still don’t entirely understand; they ARE also cartoon-pony in a world where apparantly nopony ever actually gets hurt bad enough to cause bleeding… or at least, none that we’ve seen, maybe the rock farm has some pretty messed up wars nearby or something.
