Pony headcanons?

[Leave a Whisper]

FiM Pinkie Pie is a fever dream of G3 Pinkie Pie. Think about it, the control freak Pinkie has a bad dream about what she could become - a random, screamy freak j/k

That makes sense.

Family groups in my collection:
Steamer, Blushie and Rainfeather are a family
Curlylocks and Ringlets are sisters
Drummer is Wigwam's son
Fizzy and Ice Crystal are married
4-Speed/ Trucker and Speedy are siblings, he is Racer's father and Speedy is his aunt
Sweet Pop and Fizzy are cousins
Sparkler is Diamond Mint's aunt
Gusty (sparkle) is Star Hopper's daughter
Paradise is Honolulu's mom
Dancing Butterflies is Fluttershy's ancestor
Sea Light is Sea Shimmer's mom
Gold Lily and Sterling are cousins

Oh, I've got a funny story about pony headcanons!

In my G3 world as a kid, Star Dasher and Gem Blossom were dating. Gem Blossom was a dancer & comedian and Star Dasher was her introverted  tomboyish girlfriend who studied astronomy. It used to get me in worlds of trouble at super conservative christian school and it's easily my favourite pony story from childhood

I like these! Especially Paradise being baby Honolulu's mom!

Cute story.

I believe that Baby Ember, Knight Shade and the more colorful residents are a crossbred between Dream Valley and Grey Vale ponies.


I believe that the ponies split into several lines with the G3s being direct descendants of the G1s. And the FiM ponies bring direct descendants of the G3.5s.

I think the wizard Beezin was actually a crooked real estate agent selling stolen houses.

I think the G2s were bred down from descendents of wingless Flutter Ponies that ended up forming their own community, Friendship Gardens.

I think that sea ponies use fresh water places for their babies to hatch and grow until they're big enough to swim to the sea and that they're more akin to monotremes then mammals.

Baby Ribbs has fire breath and likes to bbq.

I like the split lines headcanon! G3 looks a lot like g1 so they seem like they could be related/or in the same universe. I also like the g2 one as well.
Baby Ribbs can definitely smoke fire yes

I meant descendants of the 3.5s. Corrected. X(

I looove threads like this ^_^ and Gator, I always love seeing your fantastic art! <3 And I can't believe I've never thought of Ribbon being Tux 'n' Tails
/Bow-Tie's sister (I have Tux and Bow-Tie as siblings, too). I might have to borrow that idea

Here's mine:
- Definitely agree w/ the "Knight Shade is half-Little Pony, half-Grayvale pony" headcanon, I've always thought that, too. It just makes sense, he looks so different to all the other Grayvalians! And we never see his dad...
- (Not sure if this one counts since I think this probably is what they were going for, but it was never *confirmed*, so...) Ponyland is a "year inside, hour outside" sort of realm, like faerie realms and the like. Time there passes differently to human time. Thus explaining how the kids could hang out with the ponies so much without their parents noticing their absence.
- The Big Brothers set off on their race around the world just prior to the events of the G1 movie. Buttons acts so... fractious after Baby Lickety inadvertantly ruins the play because she's stressed out/missing Slugger and it's one of those "super trivial issue is the final straw" deals.
- Some cross-gen families: Capper Dapperpaws is some kind of a descendant of Catrina (and Rep!). Baby Squirmy and G4 Snails are siblings, and G4 Alley Way (the tall yellow bowling pony from the FiM, I think that's her name?) is either their mum or their older sister, I can never decide. Teddy (Tales) is G4 Snips' older brother, and their dad is Barber Groomsby (dunno who their mum is... any suggestions?).
- I also really love the fanon of Ditzy being Dinky's mother, I love creating pony families and those two just look so cute together.
- Flim and Flam's "special talent" is creating apple cider, but more specifically it's working together to create cider, since their symbols are "two halves of a whole". (Don't normally go in for FiM's "special talent" lore stuff, but I like those two and I think their matching symbols are cute :B)
- Sheriff Ricotta (the mouse cop from "Bright Lights" that has a different design every time they show him) is a changeling

As for my herd... I've got a lot of pony families so I think I'll stop this post now, or I'll be here all night I need to take some new pics of my families, anyway.

I love it!!!

I really like your time theory     I’ve wondered sometimes how Megan, Molly and Danny were able to spend so much time in Ponyland and never be missed by their parents.

about Sheriff Ricotta. I’ve wondered how the animators messed up on his design every time he appears.

I don’t know if this counts but in”Return of Tambelon” Bray tells Grogar that the Moochick and the baby ponies that were staying with him have been captured yet we never see them in Tambelon. I’ve always thought that the captors must have been on the way to Tambelon with them when Tambelon disappeared.

I like all the thoughts so far!

Some of my head canons I won't mention cause it might be a bit taboo?  like my OTP...and some other characters I pair up...

ANYWAY!

In my ponies I think of Sherbet and MM Windy/Magical Breeze as a couple with Magical Breeze as gender fluid. All because I had a few duplicates of both of them and they always seemed to be together xD

An old story thing I had in my had as a kid was that the Tales ponies where the future of Ponyland and in one of the forests there was a magical way back to other ponies

I've had tons of different animated headcanons ever since I was a kid, most of which I don't even remember. One that particularly comes to mind was related to how much it always bothered me as a kid that in Magic Coins they called it "the city of the ancients" but it was just a single building (probably the background artists' fault) and I eventually came to a logical conclusion that it was simply the only building remaining and that originally it was kind of like in the game Atlantis: The Lost Tales, a huge palatial complex with a small town outside of it. And in the 2000s when I discovered My Little Pony Tales, I would also make a lot of headcanons about it. One of them that was also related to my OCD was how I tried to explain to myself how Squire could be real if Patch said his medieval castle used to be located nearby when they clearly lived in their equivalent of United States, by coming up with a convoluted story about how he originally lived in their version of medieval Europe and was killed by the dragon, but his story just got distorted over centuries. Yes, I always liked to overanalyze things.
