#my little pony theory

[genderstarbucks]

There's a mlp theorist YouTuber who's currently in the scariest situation possible

They're being taken away from their family

They were in an unstable home, but everything has been fixed and now everything's fine

However, they're still being taken away from their family

They were submitted into a hospital and have had all their personal belongings taken away from them

This includes their phone, so they're being cut off of their support system

But as of a day ago, dreeze has gotten their phone back and has updated us on the situation

The GoFundMe (link) still says it's being used for a new AC unit bc Dreeze is the only one that can change it, and I'm guessing changing the name of the gfm isn't on top of their priority list

As of the comment above, any donations can't be used to help fight in court unfortunately, but it will be used for bills, utilities and other miscellaneous things that they need help with

This video (link) explains the situation better

TLDR; a pony youtuber is being taken away from their family and they need help

Rewriting the last 2 seasons of mlp:fim, cause I'm bored and I need to get my ideas out.

I warn you: This is a collection of cluttered ideas, so don't expect it to be perfect o anything XD

Story of season 8 rewrite:

Instead of there being a School of Friendship, have the Student 6 be assigned to study under one of the Mane 6. 

Twilight Sparkle does what she did in the show and asks each of the different leaders to send a student to study, learn, and live with them. The student paired with each Mane Six member is:

Strength (Rockhoof) – Honesty (Applejack) – Yona (?)

Healing (Mage Meadowbrook) – Kindness (Fluttershy) – Sandbar (?)

Hope (Somnambula) – Laughter (Pinkie Pie) – Silverstream (Enthusiasm)

Beauty (Mistmane) – Generosity (Rarity) – Ocellus (Change)

Bravery (Flash Magnus) – Loyalty (Rainbow Dash) – Smolder (?)

Sorcery (Star Swirl the Bearded) – Magic (Twilight Sparkle) – Gallus (?)

I believe that this makes more sense than a school.

Give the two villains of the season (Cozy Glow and Chancellor Neighsay) actual reasons/backstories for the way they act and what they do.

Examples:

Give Cozy Glow a more believable motivation. In the original finale, Cozy's motivation for stealing the magic of Equestria is... I forgot honesty, lol.

A more believable motivation could be that Cozy feels neglected and overlooked by the other ponies, specifically unicorns, and she wants to screw with everyone by creating a level playing field (disregarding how it'll fuck up everyone in Equestria).

For the Chancellor, let's say that he recalls all of the times throughout the series where ponykind had been attacked or come into conflict with other creatures, etc. That's a more believable motivation.

Season 8 finale: 

I actually don't know how to write this in a way for it to make more sense, I just know that these specific plot points need to happen in the episode:

The Mane Six are put out of commission in order for the Student Six to be revealed to have a connection to the Elements of Harmony 

Cozy is revealed to have a connection to Tirek in some way. And we actually learn her backstory.

The Mane Six talk to Tirek and learn more about his past, and he mentions Scorpan of course

Chancellor Neighsay gets a realistic redemption, but after learning his backstory of course

Cozy Glow is sent away, not to Tartarus, but to stay with Shining Armor and Princess Cadence in the Crystal Empire to learn how to be good and get whatever the f*ck help she needs XD 

At the end of the story the Mane Six are praising their individual students and are happy that they have the same connection to the Elements and each other that they do. 

Story of season 9:

In order to understand what happens next, I highly recommend that you watch these videos by DrWolf001 on YouTube. These videos were the ones that inspired all of this:

ok, here we go!

Premiere:

Everything that happened in the season 9 premiere happens, the only difference being that Grogar is the REAL Grogar, not Discord in disguise.

Oh, and… a very special guest shows up at the school. 

Everyone in the room, the Mane Six, Spike, the Pillars, Celestia and Luna, the Student Six, everyone else is in utter shock at who it is: 

Scorpan, Tirek's younger brother, carrying a staff made from the Tree of Harmony! 

Following episodes:

Scorpan has made his reappearance to the characters. The Pillars and the Royal Sisters are ecstatic to see their old friend, especially Starswirl. Scorpan asks Celestia if the dragon egg he gave her hatched yet, and everyone is shocked. Scorpan meets Spike, and explains himself: 

When Starswirl and Scorpan first became friends, Scorpan was carrying Spike's egg with him. He explains that he found it by itself, and wanted to find it a home. He asked Starswirl to take care of it, but he refused, since he had more important things to do. Starswirl instead gave it to Celestia and Luna to use as a test, similar to Twilight Sparkle's test in the School for Gifted Unicorns. After the Pillars sacrificed themselves to stop the Pony of Shadows, Scorpan went back to his homeland. His brother was in Tartarus, and his friends were gone, so he had no reason to stay. 

Many years have passed, and Celestia still couldn't open the egg. She didn't know why, since she was a powerful alicorn. So when she built her school, she created the egg as the final test. (Even if a Unicorn couldn't open the egg, they wouldn't be judged on that alone.)

Scorpan explains what inspired him to come back to Equestria: His magical staff, which was made out of a branch from the Tree of Harmony, alerted him to the fact that more creatures were now connected to the Tree, so he came there to see. Scorpan meets them all, but is confused about something: There are only six elements for the Mane Six and the Student Six. 

Scorpan demands to see the Tree of Harmony, and storms off with the others following him.

—

Scorpan sees that the Tree is destroyed, but he is still trying to find something. The others are confused, but Scorpan says that it's "nothing". They leave, except for Spike.

Spike asks Scorpan where he found his egg, and Scorpan says he "doesn't remember". Spike is disappointed of course, but eventually says that he's accepted it. Scorpan starts asking Spike about his life with the ponies and all that jazz, and after hearing Spike talk, he realizes that Spike is exactly like him: 

He's the only non-pony member of his group of friends, he has a closer relationship with the main element (Twilight Sparkle) similar to how Scorpan had a closer relationship with the main element in his day (Starswirl), and even though he feels out of place sometimes, he's accepted his life and his duties to help his friends. Scorpan tells Spike that he believes he's the 7th Element. 

Tolerance (Scorpan) – Acceptance (Spike) – (?) (?)

Who is under Spike? That remains to be seen... meaning idk

Spike tells him that it's impossible, as when the ponies found the Elements, they only found 6. Scorpan tells him that only those that are connected to the Elements can find them. Scorpan and Spike search the Castle of the Two Sisters, but can't find the missing element anywhere. Scorpan asks Spike to try to remember if he's ever taken it or even seen it, and Spike remembers:

In the episode Secret of My Excess, when Spike was going through his greed-induced puberty, he was taking random things and hoarding them in the library. One was an orb that he found in the Castle of the Two Sisters. 

But after Spike had turned back to normal, he had returned all of the items he took. Spike didn't know what the orb was, so he just kept it in the basement. 

And then… the library was destroyed by Tirek. So the entrance to the basement was lost underground. So Scorpan and Spike start digging, or they find a way to teleport down there, idk

They find the orb in the basement, and Spike tries to get it to transform into a jewel. Scorpan says that it can only transform in the presence of the other Elements. 

That's all I've come up with. Feel free to add, suggest, or rewrite something, please 😅

So I have a theory about MLP

Fluttershy is disabled.

She says herself that she's a weak flier. We barley see her fly and when she does it's for short periods or barely off the ground. She normally walks everywhere.

While I don't think she's like Scootaloo and can't fly, I think her disability is chronic pain. It hurts for her to fly at all or for long periods or distances.

What do you think @genderstarbucks?

[that110alto]

"I need sex or I'm breaking up with you."

"The planet revolving on an uneven axis around the sun is what causes seasons right? Equestria makes their own seasons using pony magic and weather factories right. If ponies need to make their own weather (as Winter Wrap Up and the episode dash tries to keep Tank from hibernating suggest that when season transitions happen is decided by ponies) then that also means Equestria doesn't revolve around the sun, but the other way around - the sun revolves around Equestria, as does the moon.

It seems as though there's no tilt in the way the sun and moon revolve around Equestria. Things like eclipses then can only happen if Celestia and Luna decided to do it, though it has no benefits and would kinda just be like doing a kickflip with one of those finger skateboards. but its astral bodies.

So wherever ponies don't go, they shouldn't have seasons. Especially for all of pony history. This should more greatly impact what climate and ecosystem areas outside Equestria are. The ecosystem would be entirely dependent on whatever the climate naturally is from the sun, geography, and whatever rain or weather leaks out of Equestria. Wind itself seems like it exists on its own, so it's reasonable to suggest that if the clouds aren't cleared by Pegasi but left on their own, that they could wander into other territories.

Especially since the Everfree is feared for it having its own weather, and plants that grow on their own - this would mean that it's rare and unheard of for the natural world to have those things (implying that nowhere on Equestria this happens), but we only know this fear to be the ponies' alone (and Spike, who is raised by ponies). As far as I remember, we never see another creature be scared by the Everfree having its own weather, so we don't know if it's just that ponies have been used to controlling their own weather for thousands of years that they aren't aware other parts of the world do control its own weather.

It looks, though, like if Pegasi stop tending to the weather, it does not just do it's own thing and carry on without them. But this could also be that whatever the process by which Pegasi make weather, pony-made weather could also be somehow generated or fueled by natural weather itself.

If that's true, though, there's no reason for Pegasi to find the Everfree all that scary or odd for managing its own weather. They wouldn't be surprised at the idea of natural weather. But I'm not sure we ever get a weather factory worker's reaction to the Everfree, so maybe Pegasi from Ponyville just simply don't know how pony-made weather is made.

But anyway, if weather doesn't occur outside Equestria naturally, and the Everfree is a rare exception,

This would imply that the areas outside of Equestria do not have rain, clouds, etc. So then in a circle around equestria, you'd just have dry, arid environments that gets occasional sprinkles of rain that drifts in from Equestria. And that the farther you get from Equestria, the drier it becomes.

If you pay attention to most areas we know are outside of Equestria: Saddle Arabia, The Dragon Lands, Yak Yakistan, etc. They are pretty dry and arid (just because Yak Yakistan is snowy doesn't mean it's not arid or dry! Tundra is just a different type of desert.) Which sort of supports this theory.

The Dragon Land may be cooler because of its cliffs and wind movement, air circulation from heat rising and then cooling. And the smoke from the volcano that blocks too much sun from getting through. Can contribute to the climate being colder.

Yak Yakistan could be high elevation. Where there's less pressure (higher in altitude you go), heat expands, exhausting the kinetic energy making it hot, and turning colder. Thus snow, and chill.

Evolution of animals and non-intelligent life in Equestria are also greatly impacted by pony-made climate and lack thereof outside Equestria's boundaries. Populations existing in the microhabitats within Equestria are probably incredibly distantly related from populations outside (and vice versa: outside distantly related to inside) but their population being separated for thousands of years could mean they now have split off into their own species.

But. This all makes you wonder what the earth was doing before unicorns evolved magic. And also how unicorns evolved in that climate. Chicken or egg.

Anyway, ponies are destroying the earth, causing territories of other creatures to be near inhabitable, do not give a fuck about any other living thing, ponies are driving evolution, and they cause climate change."

Elder Flower's Greedy Bat Theory

Shining Armor made the shield.

i was watching this video on what the meaning behind Elder Flower's greedy bat story could be. they brought up a great point that bats could've been a specific choice to represent alicorns because they have wings.

Some of their theories said that the bat 'Dawn' is Luster Dawn and possibly this means she became an alicorn, but honestly, she was an extremely minor character, I don't think she'd be used like this, though its not impossible. I do think it's more likely that it's Twilight, Twilight could easily be represented with the Dawn from her color palette and the fact that she controls both the sun and moon, and Dawn is the time in between night and day.

So following that bats = winged alicorn, I'd guess that that would mean the spider would have to be something else, and what non-alicorn do we know that has shield related powers, who Twilight would go to for help, and who has been explicitly shown in a photo this chapter? Shining Armor.

Also Elder Flower brought up going to a wedding with shapeshifting ponies right before telling this story. (i dont think she was actually there i think shes experiencing visions)

i don't know if i believe this theory at all tbh but i was watching that video and brain was like bro what if

hasbro is killing g5 mlp, which means it's officially my city now...say hello to my new and suspiciously familiar "ocs"

[kreeeeeez]

CRYING AND SHITTING MYSELF AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[heckyeahponyscans]

Lauren Faust originally imagined all her G1 childhood faves in a My Little Pony reboot. So why was Applejack the only one who made it in? We don't know for sure, but here is my theory.

IMO Hasbro went into the MLP reboot wanting each main character to be a different color of the rainbow, similar to TMNT or Power Rangers. (Which is a big improvement over Core 7 G3 when THREE out of seven characters were pink.)

So let's look at the initial G1 crew:

Sparkler - blue Twilight - pink Surprise - white Firefly - pink Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

Already we can see some pink is doubled up. But just wait.

Pinkie Pie was THE face of G3 My Little Pony and Rainbow Dash was nearly as popular. Hasbro made big versions of these ponies, they made small versions of them, they made plush baby versions, and they were immortalized on birthday cards, balloons, ornaments, and other merch. I was so disappointed when I heard Pinkie Pie would be in G4 because I was tired of seeing her, ha ha.

But Hasbro was not tired of selling merchandise of their most popular ponies, so I'm sure one of their first notes was "We absolutely need Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash in the new lineup."

Their personality changes wouldn't matter to Hasbro. What mattered was their marketability as toys / designs.

So Firefly, Twilight, and Sparkler were now out of the lineup, due to also being pink and blue.

Now we have:

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink Surprise - white ??? Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

But, uh oh! Pinkie Pie and Surprise both have balloon symbols. So Surprise also must die leave.

IMO the names being trademarked / easily defendable was important to Hasbro, and they already had hundreds of G3 names / designs at their disposal. And also they needed a purple pony for this lineup.

So Twilight Twinkle (later renamed Twilight Sparkle) joined the crew and became a unicorn.

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink ??? Twilight Twinkle / Sparkle - purple Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

G1 Glory's colors (white with purple hair) then replaced blue Sparkler. But wait!! Both Glory and Twilight Sparkle-Twinkle have stars on their rumps! So Rarity retained Sparkler's symbol of diamonds.

I don't know why they didn't use one of the G1 names, except perhaps that "Rarity the Unicorn" was already a Hasbro trademark, having been a G3 character.

Rainbow Dash - blue Pinkie Pie - pink Rarity - white Twilight Sparkle - purple Applejack - orange Posey - yellow

So why was Posey changed to Fluttershy? In my opinion she was switched up quite late because the original plot of Dragonshy had her as an earth pony, which is why she was struggling to get up the mountain. (That's why they had to add the bit about Fluttershy's wings locking up from fear.)

In addition to wanting a variety of colors, I think Hasbro wanted two of each main pony species. Originally Pinkie Pie was slated to be a pegasus, but then she was switched to an earth pony. So Yellow Pony was shunted into a pegasus slot instead.

Basically, I think Posey got replaced with Fluttershy because it was thought that butterfly symbols were more befitting for a pegasus. Plus girls love animals and if they needed plots revolving around growing plants, they already had Applejack on deck.

So in the end Applejack was the only G1 pony who remained in G4, not because Hasbro had any special hold on her, but because she had a pretty unique name and she wasn't a repeated color.

Thanks for coming to my Ted Talk

You ever just wake up with the single most insane unhinged headcanon/theory/au imagineable

So uh, ask me about my Rainbow Dash and Trixie are Celestia and Luna au, I guess.

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.

[onebadpunspoilsabunch]

Jade and Charcoal? Who they? Who them?

Jade Singer is a unicorn who is a famous author. I doubt Opaline is referring to her, since Jade would be long gone by the time g5 started.

Charcoal is a teen dragon who loves to cook and is very helpful to his friends (although they can't be bothered to ask him his name). Opaline could be referring to him, since dragons live longer. Why he would want to help Opaline hurt his fellow dragons is beyond me, but it could be out of revenge. His friends never bothered to ask him his name...

Or not. It remains to be seen who her new minions are. But it would be funny if it were Charcoal the dragon, and some unknown dragon named "Jade".

[stoneypony17]

I'm not sure if I'm the only one who's thought of dis b4, but I always thought the whole school of friendship in mlp was always a strange and somewhat "pony supremacy" thing going on? I'm not sure what exactly to call it TwT

The fact that it was beginning to be opened for other species so they could be taugh friendship because it "wasn't in their nature" always rubbed me the wrong way, like only ponies are naturally friendly and every other creature in equestria doesn't harness those abilities and are hostile?? This specifically I feel applied to Griffins and Dragons in the mlp universe as they were the most othered out of them all, but It isn't fair to say "oh that's just how they all are" knowing the existence of Spike and Gaby?

In general I never liked how they treated Spike either, he was really only seen as "one of the good Dragons" until Ember became the dragon Lord n stuff, but idk dis has been clouding my mind recently and I was wondering if any1 else thought dis way too, knowing how bad mlp is at conveying racism I wouldn't put it past it tho lol

[crioon]

tl:dr - cutie marks are both nurture, nature and up to the interpretation of whoever has them.

the interesting thing about cutie marks is that most of the time they are connected to the name of the pony- and because they are given a name before they get their cutie mark, it can mean that the logic of them is based on determinism! (meaning that the fate of a pony is decided before they are born)

but its more complicated then that- there are family related cutie marks (the apple family) and cutie marks that have nothing to do with the ponies name (pinkie pie and balloons? scootalo and a wing?)

apart from that, cutie marks are generally very abstract- how does rarity know her three diamonds have to do with fashion, and not just finding gemstones? or pinkie pie's balloons- what if her special talent is just blowing balloons or making them?

from the episode trouble shoes, the cutie mark crusaders have to help trouble shoes redefine his cutie mark and understand it in order to help him reach his full potential. from this we can infer that cutie marks are very much to the interpretation of those who get them.

but why so many have to do with the ponies name? I think that the ponies interpretation of their cutie mark is heavily influenced by their view on the world, and the way they are named probably points to the way they were raised- apple jack grew up farming apples and learning the value of family, and therefore got an apple cutie mark.

but that's not true in all cases- pinkie pies cutie mark and interpretation of it is directly opposed to the way she was brought up, but it also does not align with her name.

to conclude- cutie marks are formed by the personality and talents of the ponies reviling themselves, but its up to the pony to decide what the cutie mark means to them. what they decide is heavily linked to their upbringing and by association to their names well.
