Man, some Changelings don't have horns. That sucks for them. I guess they're the "earth ponies" of the Changelings.

Something interesting I noticed is that before the metamorphosis, all Changelings were shown with horns.

I bet the ones that evolved without horns were probably like "WTF, what a rip-off" 🤣

There's gotta be a reason why some evolved without their horns. Maybe they have a more subtle magic, in the same way earth ponies have a more subtle magic.

I post this on my twitter (the SFW version) so i want your thoughts on this: My OTP from both EQG & FIM is SunsetSparkle (Sunset x Princess Twilight). Now, ive always wanted to Sunset to be an alicorn, she deserves it. But, if that immortal Twilight idea was a thing, it means that, while Twilight outlives her pony friends, she at least still have one pony together with her. She won't be alone.

Twilight and Sunset together 🧡💜 I like that because then not all of Twilight's friends would be gone. Also, Twilight and Sunset are like yinyang.

I think Sunset would make a good alicorn too. There's some alicorn symbolism with her:

But this can only happen if Sunset decides to return to Equestria. Sunset might prefer the human world.

[my-little-pony-theories]

I hate the idea that Twilight outlived her friends, after all "what is a princess of friendship without friends?" I remember seeing someone say that the creators regretted making her friends look older. But ignoring that and assuming g5 isn't canon, I like to think Twilight put a immortality spell (??) on her friends so they could at least be by her side, or she was just a mortal alicorn or smth. What do you think?

Whoa!!! Yes, the thought of Twilight outliving her friends makes me sad :( She still has Spike at least.

But the thought of them living on for centuries while their closest friends and family die is really sad. 

So, here's my theory:

She casts a spell on the sun and moon to make them orbit the planet automatically (like in the human world), so they no longer require Celestia and Luna’s magic to control.

To do that, Twilight transfers Celestia and Luna's magic from inside her into the sun and moon themselves.

In the process, she gives up some of her alicorn magic — specifically the part that gives her immortality — and regains natural aging. She's still a powerful alicorn capable of defending the country, but her immortality is gone.

She still lives longer than a typical pony, but not to the point where she dramatically outlives her friends.

This way, Twilight still honors her duties while not outliving her friends (at least for too long). This is the reason why Twilight took in Luster Dawn as her student, so hopefully Luster can be her successor.

Maybe Twilight got the idea after asking Sunset Shimmer, since Sunset lives in the human world 😉

As for Spike… Spike still outlived everyone, since he's a dragon. But I imagine that he eventually found peace in that, since unlike Alicorns he's surrounded by other members of his kind. And he makes it his job to keep the memory of his friends alive for both ponies and the other creatures. 

That's my idea. I came up with it because I like your idea of Twilight being a mortal alicorn.

I've been rewriting the episodes of seasons 8 and 9 for my au by copy-pasting the transcripts and rewriting them, and revisiting those episodes... I'm still floored by how terribly the characters were written...

Why is Pinkie Pie such an asshole in the Maud Couple?

Why are Applejack and Rainbow Dash such assholes in Non-Compete Clause?

Why are Discord and Cranky Doodle Donkey such assholes in A Matter of Principals?

Why did Pinkie Pie become depressed that she couldn't play that yak instrument? She turned back into Pinkamena over it.

Why is Chancellor Neighsay's character written so terribly? Why is Cozy Glow such a completely incomprehensible character? 

Why is Rainbow Dash such an asshole in 2, 4, 6, Greaaat. I guess you could argue that Rainbow has always kinda been an asshole, but the way she acted in this episode... that was too much.

These are just off of the top of my head. Reading through these transcripts has convinced me more than ever that this is like, an alternate universe or something. Because it all just feels so disconnected from what came before. It's really insulting, and they feel more like twisted fun house mirror versions of the characters (I guess that's what flanderization means).

I really want to know what was going down behind the scenes, because it seems like MLP as a franchise kinda fell off a cliff after the movie...

[my-little-pony-theories]

Old man pony gargoyle yaoi, lol

In my au, Scorpan comes back to Equestria after the events of the movie. He was inspired to come back after Tempest Shadow returned the Staff of Sacanas to him after spreading the word of the Storm King's defeat.

A series of events later, Scorpan and Star Swirl reunite with each other. While Scorpan is in Equestria, Tempest (she's calling herself by her birth name, Fizzlepop Berrytwist) is watching over his kingdom. 

[my-little-pony-theories]

Before Molt Down, this guy was the only other dragon besides Spike to not have wings.

I mean, he looks like a teenager. He was hanging around Garble and the other teens.

Theories:

He actually is around the same age as Spike, although he looks like a teen

He's a different breed of dragon who instead of getting wings, they get a big backside

He has a genetic defect, where instead of him sprouting wings, the magic inside of him that was meant to create his wings went to his backside and made it grow.

He's gone through the greed-induced bigness, but it only affected his backside because he's… idk half greedy (or because he has a genetic defect). That doesn't explain the lack of wings, it just explains his huge ass.

[my-little-pony-theories]

You know something I just realized? Twilight's pet owl Owlowiscious completely disappeared from the show after a while.

All of the other pets continued to appear in the later seasons.

Even Spike’s former pet Peewee appears.

But Owlowiscious's last physical appearance was all the way back in season 5.

From then on, he only appeared in the picture in Starlight's room and in the final group shot.

They completely forgot he existed 😭

At least they remembered him in Pony Life!

G6 comes out next year. What do you want out of it?

Better than its predecessors while respecting them

I want G6 to have all of the strengths and none of the weaknesses of G4. And I want it to have none of the weaknesses of G5.

It would be nice if G6 was in a separate universe from G4. It can still make references and use things from previous generations, just like each generation has.

If it is in the same universe as G4, then please respect its lore and characters. One of the main reasons people hated G5 was because it didn't respect G4 at all. It just used G4 to nostalgia bait people, without caring about logic, or continuity, or telling a good story.

No social media garbage 

Also, PLEASE for the love of God, don't have the characters use smartphones, tablets, or social media. Another reason people hated G5 was because of that social media garbage. I get they wanted to pander to Gen Alphas and Gen Betas by having that garbage, but G4 didn't need that garbage for us Millennials and Gen Zers (yes they had some of it in Equestria Girls and Pony Life, but those are spin-offs).

Art style/animation 

I also don't want G6 to be 3d animated. Another reason people hated G5 was because since the main show Make Your Mark was 3d animated, it was less expressive and appealing than previous Gens. Also the dragons looked f**king horrible, I can't get over that.

The artstyle for the YouTube Kids baby show Tell Your Tale was also awful. The characters look ugly.

The concept art was much better. 

Basically the art style needs to be good.

Listening to fans

The writers of G4 actually listened to fan feedback, and used it to make improvements to the show and its characters as it went on. It would be cool if G6 did the same :)

Music

Have the music actually be good. The music in G4 was so catchy, memorable, and varied. The music in G5 was… throwaway generic modern pop crap.

The only songs from G5 I think are actually good are the songs from the movie (probably because they have a higher budget), and Starshine Time (that song slaps).

Memorable characters/locations

I feel like this kind of goes without saying. G4 had a plethora of interesting characters with unique designs and personalities. Same goes for the world they live in. G5 was so small and basic in comparison.

The majority of this is just me comparing G4 and G5, but... can you blame me 😅 G4 aint perfect, but there’s a reason why it succeeded and G5 didn't.

That's all I can think of right now.

Stained glass pictures

[my-little-pony-theories]

Does that mural from the movie mean Spike's cutie mark would be a book or a five point star or both?

Oh wait... good point.

When he was summoned by the map, it just showed his head. Lol.

[my-little-pony-theories]

This is obvious, but I like how they incorporated their cutie marks in this mural. 

Twilight: Stars under and above her. There's a book under her, and a purple and green trail with green stars coming out of that book. 

Spike: Doesn't have a cutie mark, but is standing on books that come from the purple and green trail of green stars coming out of a book under Twilight.

Applejack: Apples shown in trees.

Rainbow Dash: Rainbow coming out of clouds.

Rarity: Gems behind her.

Fluttershy: Surrounded by butterflies.

Pinkie Pie: Balloons behind her.

The dimension Discord lives in:

The Alicorn dimension:

Coincidence? I think NOT!

[my-little-pony-theories]

Spike's six new dragon friends!

These are characters from G1, and I decided to imagine them as G4 characters.

In my au, after Spike became the friendship Ambassador to the Dragon Lands, Ember asked him to make occasional appearances as a guest teacher to dragons his own age, believing they'll relate to him better. Six of his students grow attached to him. 

Flash and Fiery are twins. They're Garble's cousins. 

Smoky is Fume's cousin. 

Prickles is “Snake's” brother.

Sparks is Cinder's sister. 

Spiny is… a mystery. But, he does look an awful lot like Spike, doesn't he…

[my-little-pony-theories]

This is Lauren Faust speaking, from The Elements of Harmony guidebook. I find the Elements of Discord interesting.

Each Mane Six + Spike has had an antagonist that's meant to be the antithesis of themselves.

Twilight Sparkle = Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Tempest Shadow, Grogar

Applejack = Flim Flam Brothers 

Rainbow Dash = Lightning Dust

Rarity = Suri Polomare

Fluttershy = Iron Will

Pinkie Pie = Gilda

Spike = Garble

Sunset Shimmer, Starlight Glimmer, Tempest Shadow, Gilda, and Garble got reformed. 

Um… let's pretend those last two seasons didn't happen. Garble is still the same in this scenario 😅

Grogar = Control

Flim Flam Brothers = Deceit

Lightning Dust = Selfishness

Suri Polomare = Thievery

Iron Will = Cruelty

Garble = Prejudice

I can't remember if Pinkie had any arch rivals that didn't get reformed.

[my-little-pony-theories]

Do you have any theories where/what the equestrian equivalent of Sunset Shimmer’s geode would be? All of the other girls’ geodes are directly related to/maybe shards of the equestrian elements of harmony. Their powers directly tie to their pony counterparts abilities, so maybe sunset has an equestrian equivalent of her geode powers.

And unlike that chart which has the young six and starlight as potential element holders, sunset has a physical geode which makes me think she actually has an element and it’s somewhere in equestria.

My own theory is that it might be able to be found in the crystal empire because the empathy connection just seems right there. Also, the fact that the empire disappeared for a thousand years and there was little information on it seems like the perfect explanation for why no one would have known of an element’s existence/location. But I’d love to hear your theory!!

Side note: reading minds seems like a really powerful ability, and all of the girls’ abilities seem like weakened versions of their counterparts (levitation, super speed, etc) which makes me think sunsets equestrian equivalent would be really powerful if her mind reading abilities is the “watered down” version.

Oh... that's a tough question to answer.

How about this:

There are six extra branches that don't have Elements attached to them. (The Tree of Harmony is meant to look like Twilight's cutie mark.)

The extra branches being the white star behind the pink star.

I'm going to say that since the Tree of Harmony is capable of evolving, it's possible for those extra branches to sprout new Elements. Maybe all Sunset Shimmer has to do is just come in contact with the Tree. The same go with other characters.

[my-little-pony-theories]

Which elements of Harmony are the young six supposed to represent? The show didn’t make an effort to explain it.

Don't worry, I got you fam.

In the season 8 finale, they show the Young Six glowing like the Mane Six.

Twilight = Gallus 

Applejack = Yona

Rainbow Dash = Smolder 

Rarity = Ocellus 

Fluttershy = Sandbar

Pinkie Pie = Silverstream

In the season 9 episode Uprooted, they're shown being associated with the Mane Six's colors again, but this time differently. 

Twilight = Sandbar

Applejack = Yona

Rainbow Dash = Gallus

Rarity = Smolder

Fluttershy = Ocellus 

Pinkie Pie = Silverstream

In the final episode, they show the Young Six being associated with each Mane Six again:

Twilight = Gallus 

Applejack = Yona

Rainbow Dash = Gallus

Rarity = Ocellus

Fluttershy = Sandbar

Pinkie Pie = Silverstream

Final answer! Yona and Silverstream are the only ones who stayed consistent, lol.

If you're asking me what unique Elements they are, then I'd. Someone came up with something:

Nice.

[my-little-pony-theories]

I'm disappointed we never saw Scorpan in person in the show 😔 it almost felt like the seasons that came after the movie were planning on it or maybe they wanted to, but they didn't for some reason 🤨

I believe that! Scorpan hadn't been mentioned since season 4, but he was originally supposed to appear in the Movie.

And he was mentioned by name in the holiday special The Best Gift Ever and the episode A Trivial Pursuit. 

Also his brother Tirek returns in those final two seasons, and Star Swirl (who was friends with Scorpan) and the other Pillars were there too. It was the perfect setup.

But of course, they didn't do it...

If Hasbro allowed them more freedom they probably would've done more.
