#Mlp Pillars

[mylittleponyauprompts]

An AU where those in the past are dead and those versions of them stayed dead, but they reincarnated into the future characters we know now.

Shining Armor and Twilight Sparkle are reincarnations of the Celestial sisters. However a twist has occurred between the two of them. The reincarnation of Luna is the golden child instead of the reincarnation of Celestia. Shining Armor appears to be a normal guard in training while his little sister is a born natural at magic and got into the most prestigious magic school in Equestria at at the youngest age in Equestrian history.

Starlight glimmer is the reincarnation of Starswirl the bearded

Sunburst is the reincarnation of Stygian

Sunset Shimmer is the reincarnation of Sombra.

Trixie is the reincarnation of Discord

Cadence is the reincarnation of the lost crystal princess

Apple Jack is the reincarnation of rockhoof

Rainbow Dash is the reincarnation of flash magnus

Fluttershy is the reincarnation of mage meadow brook

Rarity is the reincarnation of Mist mane

Pinkie pie is the reincarnation of somnambula

Pillars Redesign + Stygian!! Theyre canon designs are SO boring, i had to at least make em all special meow meows

Starswirl the Bearded: Kept his og design, but more magically? His right eye has no pupils and he has a wing on the left side of his body(like a half alicorn situation) Somnambula: Made her a sphinx as well! I didn't really like her outfit, so I made it more accurate to ancient egyptian wear, same with her hair

Mistmane: She is a Qilin, which is basically a Chinese dragon-horse. Her species is an ancestor of modern Kirin.

Rockhoof: Based his design on more traditional Norse attire. He is based on the Sleipnir, an eight-legged horse.

Meadowbrook: In one episode she was called a unicorn, so thats what I did lol. She is based off the Kongo creature Adaba, which is a unicorn with two horns.

Flash Magnus: Didn't change him much, but I did give him burn scars from his fight with the dragons. That's why his cutie mark is smudged. He is an ancestor of Flash Sentry.

Stygian/Pony of Shadows: After his reformation, I made his body have marks from his form as the Pony of Shadows. Also, said Pony of Shadows is an Umbrum AND smaller(Like what happened to Crona in Soul Eater)

I know, I have like multiple things to post and write buuut... I did that instead. I'm annoyed at myself Edit cause I'm forgetful : it is made by using the translation of the lyrics of a vocaloid song found here https://vocaloidlyrics.fandom.com/wiki/%E3%81%A8%E3%81%82%E3%82%8B%E4%B8%80%E5%AE%B6%E3%81%AE%E5%BE%A1%E8%8C%B6%E4%BC%9A%E8%AD%B0_(Toaru_Ikka_no_Tea_Party) With some little edits to fit better this group. I really like this song so I advise you to give it a listen !

The Pillars of Equestria x Vicious 6

I made this a long time ago, because the Pillars had 6 pony's and the Vicious 6 also had 6 people, so I made it

I also made an Elements of Harmony one but I don't know who to put on which, what did you guys think?

惊喜来临

Heyaaa!!

A new drawing for everyone!

Thanks for all the ♥️, anyway!! I really appreciate It!!

Here I have a sketch of Starswirl The Bearded!!

[heilos]

Living Harmony AU relevant character sheets/info: Harmony aka the "Tree of Harmony" Stygian Shadow Lock Starswirl the Bearded Somnambula is the next pillar up on the list with an updated design, courtesy of my buddy Ori, and a fresh character sheet from me. Her and Mistmane are the two pillars that ended up getting a species swap with their rewritten backstories for this AU. Bat ponies were super underutilized in the MLP G4 show and the idea of Somnambula and her town being mostly made up of Egyptian fruit bat ponies was super fun to think about. Listed below is some character and story context for these sketches provided by my myself and Ori like usual. Hope you enjoy!

Pillar of Aspiration

Bat pony from ancient Neighgypt

Comes from a village made up of mostly bat ponies with some of the other standard pony races sprinkled in and a healthy population of anubis style diamond dogs

Not a princess, but the equivalent of high nobility in her culture. Had cash to burn and was very generous in giving her wealth to the less fortunate in her village be it money, food, clothing etc...

Was also an advisor to the Pharaoh and Prince Hisan

Her village was trapped in a collective dream by a huge mythical Sphinx that hails from the dream realm. It would have turned Somnambula’s ponies into dreamless husks had she not broken free and solved the Sphinx’s riddles, which were the basis of its magic.

Somnambula’s artifact, the Sphinx’s Crescent Moon, is a trinket she stole straight from the Sphinx’s headpiece. Affixing it to her tiara, it allows her free travel between the dreaming and physical realms. Though, spending so much time in the Dream Realm as a mortal pony has its consequences…

Gained a weird aura about her after breaking the Sphinx’s spell. A small radius around her is folded into dream space, which makes it difficult to perceive her normally. She’s essentially a friendly cognitohazard. Take a good look, because you won’t be able to recall her face later. Lucid dreamers can see past this effect.

Has a somewhat eerie quality to her that she likes to play up. Dispenses philosophical queries just to mess with ponies such as: “Perhaps I am merely a fruit bat dreaming that she is a pony” or “Perhaps this is a dream, you don’t know!”

Has sharp teeth, but they’re meant for biting into fruits. Sometimes will joke about "gobbling" someone up if they get too close

Sleeps like a regular bat by hanging upside down. The bottom of bat pony hooves can grip many different surfaces for this purpose

Firmly believes in making your dreams into reality

Ancient Equestrians would call upon her name for protection in their dreams

Dream walked so Princess Luna could dream run

Somnambula is Luna's favorite pillar and legend

Is celebrated with a statue of her in the center of the town “Somnambula” in modern Equestria. However it incorrectly depicts her as a pegasus pony instead of a bat pony due to wibbly wobbly history record keeping and/or the strange dream like effect that surrounds her

Somnambula’s Weather Abjuration (The Crystalling Part 2 - 16:26) is a spell named after her, though she herself had no hoof in its creation. It’s very likely that this weather ward was made after the perception of Somnambula shifted into her being a pegasus

Somnambula redesign by Orin331

[my-little-pony-theories]

MLP:FIM Theory: Green Element of Harmony

A theory created by DRWolf001, suggesting that there is a hidden 7th Element of Harmony that is Scorpan/Spike's.

Watch his videos before reading this.

~~~

Scorpan's Past

Canon: Tirek and his younger brother Scorpan first traveled to Equestria in the hopes of conquering it. Scorpan fell in love with the ponies and they're way of life, and became friends with Star Swirl swirl the Bearded.

Speculation: Scorpan finds Spike's dragon egg by itself just on the outskirts of the pony nation, and he decides to keep it.

Reasoning: Scorpan finding Spike and bringing him to the ponies is a reference to their G1 counterparts, where a similar thing took place.

Canon: In Princess Celestia's narration, she says Scorpan went back to his homeland after Tirek's imprisonment.

Speculation: Instead of him immediately leaving after Tirek's imprisonment, in actuality he stayed in Equestria for some years.

After Stygian brought the Pillars together to defeat the Sirens, Scorpan became friends with them too.

Canon: When Stygian turned into the Pony of Shadows, the Pillars create the seed that would grow into the Tree of Harmony by fusing their magic into it.

Speculation: Scorpan was the one who inspired Star Swirl the Bearded to create the Seed. During the spell, Scorpan was in the room with the Pillars, so his magic unintentionally was added to the spell.

After the Pillars sacrifice themselves to defeat the Pony of Shadows, Scorpan decides to go back home.

Where did his element go?

Speculation: Before Celestia and Luna used the Elements to defeat Discord, Scorpan had returned to Equestria to see if the Tree had grown. He finds the Elements and removes the branch containing his Element. The branch he took is turned into the Staff of Sacanas after he removed the gem within it.

Reasoning: This is based on an unused concept for the movie, which would've shown that Scorpan was the original owner of the Staff of Sacanas before the Storm King stole it from him, and that the Staff was made from a branch of the Tree of Harmony.

Because his Element wasn't originally a part of the spell, the other 6 Elements work completely fine without it. However, with the combined power of all 7 Elements, they can do much more.

Scorpan and Spike

The Mane Six each share elements with the Pillars of Equestria. Spike and Scorpan are not only connected by the past, but share similarities with each other as well:

Scorpan was Star Swirl's first and closest friend, and Spike is Twilight's first and closest (non-blood related) friend.

Scorpan is the only non-pony member of his group of friends, and Spike is the same.

Scorpan is friendly to ponies, appreciates their way of life, and enjoys living with them, just like Spike.

Castle of Friendship

The Castle of Friendship was formed from the Chest of Harmony, which served as the seed that planted it. The Chest itself was a sprout from the Tree of Harmony.

When the Castle formed, it created a 7th chair for Spike, which it technically didn't need to do if he wasn't connected to the Tree of Harmony in the same way the Mane 6 ponies were. Spike's chair is closer to Twilight's.

Although, it's possible that since the Tree is somewhat self aware, it knew Spike was Twilight's assistant/best friend, and lived in the Castle as well, so that's why it created a 7th chair for him, closer to Twilight's.

Unknown Green Element of Harmony

Throughout the franchise, when images of the Elements of Harmony are shown both within the show or other material, sometimes a green element is shown, usually in the place of a different Element:

It could simply be an error.

However, there are some cases where the green element is shown with the other 6 Elements:

Each Element's color represents a part of the character's design that shares the same color:

Magenta: Twilight's cutie mark color

Orange: Applejack's coat color

Red: Part of Rainbow's mane and cutie mark color

Purple: Rarity's mane color

Pink: Fluttershy's mane and cutie mark color

Blue: Pinkie's eye and cutie mark color

Green: Spike's eye and spine color

Element Chart

Star Swirl the Bearded = Sorcery | Twilight Sparkle = Magic

Rockhoof = Strength | Applejack = Honesty

Flash Magnus = Bravery | Rainbow Dash = Loyalty

Mistmane = Beauty | Rarity = Generosity

Mage Meadowbrooke = Healing | Fluttershy = Kindness

Somnambula = Hope | Pinkie Pie = Laughter

Scorpan = Respect | Spike = Acceptance

BTW, Sunset Shimmer's Element is Empathy!

? = ? | Sunset Shimmer = Empathy

Stygian is meant to be Starlight Glimmer's parallel, so those two aren't Elements.

~~~

There is a lot of glaring evidence here to suggest that this theory could be true. So much so, it makes me wonder if it's actually what they were foreshadowing and building up to... until Hasbro had them do the School of Friendship storyline instead.

The storyline for Season 8 would've been completely different, it instead being a continuation of setting up the Pillars in Season 7.

[mylittleponyauprompts]

A universe where the pillars of equesteia never get trapped in limbo and instead they turn into alicorns and rule equestria to keep it safe for all of eternity

An AU where the Pillars of Equestria never got trapped in Limbo, instead turning into alicorns and ruling Equestria and keeping it safe.

Optional additions-

Does the pony of shadows and Stygian take Luna and Nightmare moons place/role?

Does Luna and Celestia still become Starswirls students? Do they become Alicorns eventually as well? What caught Starswirls eye for them to become his students? How is modern Equestria affected by these changes?

[karjalantroll]

absolute disaster

I didn't even have enough space to put everyone in the hashtags......

4/4 first - prev

The pillars are a legendary hypothetical group of heroes. A few old files dating from before the sisters reign have been found on the group but were heavily redacted from before the separation of Equus and Equestria. Only hypothesis can be done on its role and members. From what scholars have deciphered, Starswirl the Bearded seems to have been involved in a way or another as most redacting have been registered as being of his doing. Princess Celestia has indicated her lack of knowledge about any group her old mentor could have been a part off aside from the solar mages. --------------------------- Originally I tried another style soooo, little bonus !
