Ponies and Donkeys are people but Goats, Deer and Giraffes

As someone who has a giraffe who speaks in his story, this makes me sad.
Although this gives me more ideas about it, so... win win for me, hurray for writefag ideas.

Yeah, that bothered me too. Normally I'm not one to say "Faust is God! Everything must stay as close as possible to her original vision!" but "hooved mammals are the people of equestria" is such a fucking simple rule and there is zero reason to deviate from it and doing so only makes the series more confusing.

didn't we already have a person goat in the iron will episode?

A figured each intelligent race would have its own specialized doctor while a local vet would deal with all the non-pony related animals, like the cows and the giraffes

>>29988928
Rhinos and Tapirs would the ape equivalent to Ponies. Giraffes, Deer and Cattle are all equally distantly related to ponies, yet for some reason Bison, Yaks and Dairy Cows are everyponies but Deer and Giraffes are critters.

Why dont the characters consider themselves as animals

Weird how the giraffe had the pony eyes too. I was confused as shit that it was an animal. Yet the idea of ponies talking and every other animal not talking has been weird since s1

It's really arbitrary. I don't know why you need it explained to you considering how obvious it should be.

>Person
Uhh... That's a zebra

>>29990663
But she's treated as a person in series.

>>29990657
Maybe Giraffe is still person, but just a silent one?

She's treated with respect as an outsider, but it's not like they'd ever let her move closer to Ponyville or any civilized town.

The giraffe was at the doctor, right? Maybe it had strep throat or something and lost its voice.

more like steep throat

Separate but equal, eh?

No clue, but S1 E21 Over a Barrel has buffalo as equals to ponies, so... probably?

You guys are all silly, twolot took spike to the vet too, and dragons are still sentient

>Be tiny.
>You're actually very tall, your name just happens to be tiny
>You have come from far away lands on a spiritual journey through Equestria
>Unfortunately fate has decided to test you with illness today. You've awoke with a sore throat and a fever. You had taken up residence on the outskirts of what you understand is ponyville
>Unsure of yourself , but seeing little other options you decide to head into town and ask for help
>All around ponies gawk at you, and you can't help but feel a bit more self conscious .
>You approach two young mares , opening your mouth to speak
>"Ah... Ahm... H-elpa" you croak akwardly, your thick giraffe accent and dry throat making your basic knowledge of pony all for naught .
>The two ponies wearily eyeball you , one taking a step back.
>You tap your long giraffe neck gingerly and make a fee coughing noises , they seem to understand.
>"Oh it's sick!" One exclaims , you try to ignore being called 'it'
>They point you towards a large distant building
>"That's the vet" the same pony says "she deals with livestock, pets and animals" she finishes and both ponies leave without another word .
>You sigh and slowly walk towards the animal hospital
>You feel really tiny now

>>29988907
Rulers of the Everfree forest even. Also, goats are shown to have some form of intelligence in Iron Will's episode, they help him with equipment that would require more than simple animalistic behavior to operate.

>>29988963
This. I have no love for faust but it is one of the few good things she left behind. Why ignore it.

Ponies are ultra racists, you didn't know? Even Twilight've taken Spike to the vet.

>>29988874
Foreigners.
Points in case: cow and sheep.

I want cuddle the giraffe.

>>29988874
The giraffe had a face similar to the pony models which is what made it especially odd.

>>29991324
Yeah but the comics are literally fanfiction tier.
The deer shown in the show are pretty feral.

>>29993259
Oh and that goat behavior may have been played for a gag. Or they could've been trained goats.

I accept this artists headcanon.
>Okay so that giraffe was adorable. New headcanon, Giraffe is just a foreigner like Zecora. She got sick, but the pony doctors didn’t know how to treat her, so they directed her to the vet. And she doesn’t really speak Equestrian too well, so she’s not really sure what’s going on, so she’s just kinda going along with things, and now she’s like just chilling in Fluttershy’s sanctuary like “Wow, free stay at a resort? Pony healthcare is great!”

>>29993449
Or giraffes are feral creatures in FiM.
What's so hard to accept that instead of making chit up

>>29993476
I don't want it to be true though and the headcanon pleases my autism.
Also its weird considering the eyes are similar to a ponies.

Cows are sapient but they're still treated like animals

>>29993476
Well what's wrong with making chit up?

>>29993259
>tfw you like the fanfiction better than the show at this point

>>29993556
Not really. It's similar to hoomans and chimpanzees irl.
It's just for some reason people can't do the same for fictional talking pones.

>>29993621
>big pony-like eyes and eyelashes
>animal
Okay, buddy

Don't giraffes have goats have cloven hooves?

That might explain it. We've never actually seen deer in the show either, ungulates with split hooves might just be animals.

>>29994173
Cows

>>29990879
Yep, there we go.
Giraffes are sentient.
Wew lad, I hope some more green pops up so I can get dat sweet giraffe pussi.
