i need an expert's opinion

would Error be a unicorn, pegasus or an earth pony?

Oh I am far from an expert on MLP anything but I’ll try??

Or were you calling me an expert on Error? :D

I know nothing about it so anything here is based off of this: https://www.reddit.com/r/mylittlepony/comments/tafmhg/pros_and_cons_of_earth_pegasus_and_unicorn_ponies/t

Also I’m going to keep these as close to canon Error as possible

ALSO ALSO, I’ll say my reasons for why he wouldn’t be something so you can have more to go off of and make your own opinions

Underneath the cut because it got a bit out of hand-

Ok, here I go

I don’t think Error would be a pegasus because he doesn’t seem like that fast of a guy? Like I mean honestly, Lucidia!Error wears flip flops and Ask!Error wears slippers. I mean, even without them, he doesn’t seem like he’s all that athletic; especially considering that his strings are how he catches the majority of his opponents, so there’s no real chase. Also for the cold rest resistance part, I’ve often seen Error’s glitches described as burning, so I think that he probably wouldn’t do well in high altitudes since he’d be likely better acclimated to heat. I don’t know if ‘burning’ is a canon description for the glitches though- The sucky part of saying he wouldn’t be a pegasus though is that he most definitely would have great reflexes due to his haphephobia and his instincts from being nearsighted.

Next up is that I don’t think he would be an earth pony because he’s pretty strong magically? He’s literally the destroyer of AUs, so I can’t see him being something without some form of technical magic. Also, I don’t think he’d be that strong physically because he relies on his strings so much for everything. He has to lift up this random thing to get underneath (for whatever reason)? He’ll just use his strings instead of his hands. Also, all of his demolition is through his magic (strings, larger than average blasters, bones, code, etc.) and none of it appears to rely on physical strength, which is what earth ponies seem to be about. There’s also the ‘nature connection’ mentioned in the Reddit post and applying that to Error is laughable. He couldn’t care less about AUs and their happenings, so I don’t think there would be any connection. If there was, then his ‘job’ would likely suffer since he would potentially not want to harm the AU residents/AUs themselves.

Moving on, this leaves me with saying I think he’d be a unicorn. He seems to have high levels of magic (remember, AU destroyer) and he’s coherent in reading code (Ask!Error comic- probability of Underswap existing). The magic levels are self-explanatory, but reading code is applicable since he would require decent mental capabilities in order to understand and decipher it. Also just to get access to it in the first place, although that likely has to do with him being a glitch. Another point (which is based on a comment on that post) is that he’s mentally unstable. In order to balance his high magic, it would make sense that he’d have mental issues, displaying themselves as his insanity. There’s also that I think that unicorns would be very reliant on their magic for even very trivial and menial things, which Error most definitely would be. I mean seriously, he uses his portals to steal from Underfell, his strings for a decent portion of combat and to bring down his puppets, and his windows to watch Undernovela. LIKE HONESTLY, the guy tried making Blue fight Underswap Papyrus instead of fighting him himself, which while it does make sense with context, it still goes to show that he’d rather use his ‘puppets’ to do his dirty work than do it himself.

So-

Um. Yeah.

I hope this helps!!

you're in the habit of denying yourself things.

if someone asked you directly, you would say that you love a little treat. you like iced coffee and getting the cookie. you drink juice out of a fancy cup sometimes, and often do use your candles until they gutter out helplessly.

but you hesitate about buying the 20 dollar hand mixer because, like. you could just use your arms. you weren't raised rich. you don't get to just spend the 20 dollars (remember when that could cover lunch?), at least - you don't spend that without agonizing over it first, trying to figure out the cost-benefits like you are defending yourself in front of a jury. yes, this rice cooker could seriously help you. but you do know how to make stovetop rice and it really isn't that hard. how many pies or brownies would you actually make, in order to make that hand mixer worthwhile?

what's wild is that if the money was for a friend, it would already be spent. you'd fork over 40 without blinking an eye, just to make them happy. the difference is that it's for you, so you need to justify it.

and it sneaks in. you ration yourself without meaning to - you don't finish the pint of ice cream, even though you want to. the next time you go to the store, you say ah, i really shouldn't, and then you walk away. you save little bits of your precious things - just in case. sometimes you even go so far as putting that one thing in your shopping cart. and then just leaving it there, because maybe-one-day, but not right now, there's other stuff going on.

you do self-care, of course. but you don't do it more than like, 3 days in a row. after that it just feels a little bit over-the-edge. like. you can't live in decadence, the economy is so bad right now, kid.

so you don't buy the rice cooker. you can-and-will spend the time over the stove. you can withstand the little sorrows. denial and discipline are practically synonyms. and you're not spoiled.

it's just - it's not always a rice cooker. sometimes it is a person or a job or a hug. sometimes it is asking for help. sometimes it is the summer and your college degree. sometimes it is looking down at scabbed knees and feeling a strange kind of falling, like you can't even recognize the girl you used to be. sometimes it is your handprint looking unsteady.

sometimes it is tuesday, and you didn't get fired, and you want to celebrate. but what is it you like, even? you search around your little heart and come up empty. you're so used to denying that all your desires draw a blank.

oh fuck. see, this is the perfect opportunity. if you had a mixer, you'd make a cake.

the thing about disco elysium is that it has women in it. what you see on the internet about it might lie to you about that but it has women, gay women even, very compelling women even, in it.

i’ve seen a lot of posts talking about nimona’s queer messages which is great! but ive not seen as many posts talking analyzing how both ballister and ambrosius were changed to be asian, which is a shame because i genuinely think its one of the most important parts of the film! a huge part of it is a deconstruction of the model minority myth and respectability politics, both of which are big issues in the asian american community. both of them represent each side of the spectrum, with ambrosius expected to be superhuman with very little support and ballister being seen as less than human, no matter how hard he tries- a monster.

ambrosius (who is now east asian, like his voice actor eugene lee yang, who is korean with chinese and japanese ancestry), despite being in a seemingly powerful position as head of the knights and a descendant of gloreth, he isn’t really given the kind of support that this position needs- he’s constantly undermined and belittled by todd, the face of the other knights, and when asked about his emotional state by the director, represses his emotions rather than talk to her about his true feelings. this is very similar to how asian american students in schools aren’t given the support they need academically by teachers and administration, as the model minority myth leads to them being perceived as more intelligent and competent than their fellow students and therefore not needing support. he’s also held to a higher standard than any of the other knights, being immediately placed into a position of power despite just being knighted, again a reflection of the model minority myth, since asian americans are held to higher standards unfairly. despite being technically better off than ballister, he has no support, no friends, no way to seek help for his problems, and, just like ballister, is immediately thrown away the moment the director thinks he’s served his use.

ballister is now pakistani, like his voice actor riz ahmed (no, not like pedro pascal. where did this come from lol), and i’d go as far as to say that he is also, if not explicitly muslim, heavily muslim coded as well. he’s framed as a terrorist by the white, christian institution, and from then on, it doesn’t matter how good he tries to be- everyone else sees him as a monster. he’s also from a lower socioeconomic class than ambrosius and the rest of the knights- while this is initially used to frame him as a success story, after he’s framed, it’s used to cast suspicion on him. almost immediately he’s othered, with posters casting him as a foreign invader sent to destabilize the city, much in the same way that muslim immigrants are seen in real life. even when he tries to be peaceful and good, it’s always twisted so that he’s the monster of the story. while ambrosius is held to too high of a standard, ballister will never be enough for the institution to accept.

which is why both of their arcs culminate in them breaking out of the system, learning to accept what they’d been taught was monstrous, and leaving behind respectability. it’s a genuinely great commentary, and i can definitely see why riz ahmed and eugene lee yang were chosen for this, as they’ve both done activist work for their communities.
