Ah, I see. Fair enough.
 
Although if you don’t mind my running with the concept a bit, I don’t think that scientific advances involving gravity would necessarily close the case on what Celestia is doing. I mean, even within the show, they’ve shown physics that matches (for the most part) what we have in our reality.  
 
 
So it’s not as if science and magic in this universe couldn’t be said to exist concurrently. And if you did want to go with that angle, the question of Celestia’s role in the movement of the spheres could just be a matter of it being a more complicated situation than it appears, and “I move the sun” having been the easiest way to get the gist of the issue across in the days before a more complicated and accurate explanation would have been understood.
 
Case and point, for an easy way to have both an orbital system as we understand it and have Celestia play a vital role, I’d have the situation be one where the planet Equestria is on is just close enough to the sun to make tidal locking an eventual possibility (which could actually happen, since for planets with a sun smaller than our own, the region where tidal locking can occur actually overlaps with habitable zone). Then I’d make her whole “raise the sun” routine actually be about her using magic to cancel out the loss of angular momentum caused by dragging effect of gravity. It still puts her (technically) on the necessary side of things when it comes to making sure sunrise still occurs, and also has the benefit of explaining away issues such as as why her getting captured a few days wouldn’t just cause day and night to just stop (tidal locking is a gradual effect, so the cessation of the day/night cycle wouldn’t be immediate).

First off, I can definitely see the point that a story, if initiated in a certain form of media, should be able to be adequately told in said media. Where this comic series is concerned, after having read everything thus far, I can safely say that the comics do tell a complete story without the aid of separate written media. Before I was even aware of the fanfics and read them, I had a very good understanding of the history of this family and its overall structure.
 
As for the fanfics written about Shino’s series on fimfiction by P-Berry, I feel that they simply supplement the original story but cannot survive without the comic. I feel Shino says they are canon because after he’s read them, they fit best with his story and he gives that affirmation by declaring them as such. However, without reading them, one is not missing the meat of this family’s story.

I really appreciate this commentary, even if it was made in jest. The enlightened/modern move to treat magic as if it were science is very unbecoming and undeservedly prideful.

@Meanlucario  
There has been no inconsistencies as of now.
 
Seeing that both of those mediums talk about diffrent time frames (and confirm eachother’s information), I doubt there will be any inconsitencies down the line.

@AWGear  
Just wait for them, my friend.

@Meanlucario  
What inconsistencies?

@AWGear  
I still say than it’s a failure of the writing than. If a writer can’t give the full story in the media they’re using, than the story has failed, especially if there are inconsistencies.

@Meanlucario  
It’s diffrent story here. It’s more comparable to Mortal Kombat.
 
Comics are written by Shino and they mostly talk about current events, or flashbacks.  
While fanfics written by P-Berry are mostly covering what happend between college and current days.
 
It’s just a way of giving people more “Space Ponyos” related content.

@AWGear  
Again, if the comic relies on fics to tell a proper story, than the writing has failed. It’s like saying that you need to read the Star Wars EU to understand what’s happening in the movies.

@Meanlucario  
Actually, some fanfics have been confirmed by Shino to be cannon.
 
A fic is also generally easier and much quicker to make than a comic. You can have 13 k words fic that explains alot of the backstory. If you were to tell the whole story in comic form we’d be here for AGES, without much progress.

@AWGear  
I’m sticking to the canon of the comics, since it’s not joined at the waist with the fic and should hold it’s own, otherwise it’s a failure of the writer.

@Meanlucario
 
It did happen.

I’d suggest for you to read some of the cannon fanfics. They really expand on the characters.
 
Apogee’s age is (from what I remember) stated in fan fics, and this Comic proves that when Delta left, apogee was not a baby anymore:  

@AWGear  
OK, I know that last part didn’t happen, and I also question the rest of your information.

@Meanlucario  
Well, that’s if you skip the fact that:  

@AWGear  
This is the first time we’ve seen her be nice without hurting Apogee first, and wasn’t the one that raised Apogee. She’s not completely unlikeable, but still has a lot to do before she’s no longer a bad parent.

A perfect comic to show the people who still call Delta a “bad mother”.
 
She is a great mother. Wierd one, but still great.

AWWWW!!!~ That’s so sweet and heartwarming!

@Background Pony #E5E6  
It’s implied in that universe that Celestia might actually be a fraud who effectively points at the moving sun and says “I did that” XD  
 
Even if not, I could still see Delta considering magic to be bullshit propaganda compared to what she considers “real” science :D

@Meanlucario  
Don’t crush my hopes man.

@Armagedonus  
I doubt that it’s even thought of in the more SFW series.

@Meanlucario  
That’s why I was asking.  
I guess the whole “breast reduction via magic is canon” theory will be put into “maybe” bracket.

@Armagedonus  
The NSFW series is a completely different continuity.

@Meanlucario  
I am asking because of this comic: >>1733615

@DrizzieDoodles  
It is great to see that pony smile.

@DrizzieDoodles  
Nothing quite beats the smile in the family photo.
