Some of my personal headcanons are:
Baby Ember, Knight Shade, his mother and the colorful Bright Valley ponies are Dream Valley/Bright Valley crossbreds. Especially since both groups have very noticeable anatomy differences.
Beezen is a wizard who uses his magic to obtain nice homes and resell them, fully furbished. Aka, he's an unscrupulous real estate agent.
That the SHS and G2s are descendents of born-wingless Flutter Ponies, due to their slender forms and eventually formed their own community. Friendship Gardens.
That Wingers and Breezies are different species of the same family group.
Sea ponies are born/spawned in fresh water areas to keep them safe from large predators, form close-knit groups as youngsters and make their way to the sea as adults.
That G1s and G3s are biologically a little different from G2s and G4s. Just as there are different breeds of real life horses and that they have a plasticity gene that encourages different body proportions, head shapes, size, etc.
That G1s, G2s and G3s are Welsh Pony sized, while G3.5s and G4s are the size of Fallabellas.
-
aahh I've always thought of Knight Shade as a DV/Bright Valley hybrid, too!! He just looks so different compared to the other BV ponies, but he's not quite a Little Pony either..
I love these :3 Especially the Beezen one, hehe.

Soda Sippin' ponies are actually vampire ponies. Their jaws are fused together and the front of their mouth is like a lamprey's, just an open maw of teeth that they use to feed on their victims.

Head canon accepted! XD

G1 merponies are the last of their kind and the adult sea ponies have taken them in and raised them as their own.
G1 Applejack is brave but also impulsive
There are more creatures living in and around Dream Valley then we’ve meet through the cartoons and comics.
Sunburst is a royal advisor to Shinig Armor and Princess Cadance.

Well @Sapphire Rain informed me of this and I love it so much I accept it:
So-soft ponies are winter/cold climate ponies. Their fur grows thicker to help with the snow and ice.
-
Don't really have any lore headcanons, but I headcanon Baby Noddins and Baby Snookums as sisters due to their similar color schemes. Though Noddins' hair is white, while Snookums' is pink, my Snookums has faded hair, making them look even more alike in my collection!

Hee hee! I try! :heart: :heart:
Here’s some more:
Seapony spawn are called ‘guppies.’
Flutter and winger ponies have a sort of vendetta against each other. Each think THEIR race is somehow superior to the other. It’s nothing too extreme but generally, if you put a flutter and winger in the same room, you can bet that each is looking at the other thinking “she sure isn’t as great as ME!”
Crystal ponies from the G4 cartoon are descendents from TEs. They’re a result of TEs breeding with non TEs, after a while the babies started coming out with certain parts made of jewel (for example hooves, horns, ears etc) until they began to have a whole layer of jewel flesh all over their bodies.
Calling another pony a ‘horse’ is considered derogatory, like calling someone a ‘moron’ in our culture.
There exists ponies that come out with both a horn and wings that are not technically considered alicorns, due to not having royal lineage or remarkably powerful magic. These types usually can either fly very well but have poor magic ability or can use magic like the average unicorn but have severely underdeveloped wings. Some whose horns are small enough can wear hats to conceal them.
Flutter ponies are born into holes in caves with structures similar to beehives. They are kept there and fed like bee larvae until their wings fully develop, at which time they emerge like butterflies. It is not uncommon for ponies to travel to Flutter Valley each Spring to witness this event.
Wingers hatch from eggs. The shells are very soft, like some reptile eggs, and attach to places like underneath old logs or near lakes. The parents take turns guarding them while the other finds food. Foals come out with their wings in little buds and they don’t come out of the buds until adulthood, when parents teach them to fly.

Much love for this theory!!
I am loving a lot of these ideas. I can't even remember some of the things I had written out when I was younger, I wrote a whole history of ponyland concept with how all the different species came to be. Let me see if I can remember any of it :/
I love the idea of So Softs as being designed for cold climates. That's beautiful :D
I think my concepts were hugely influenced by how the comic laid stuff out, with different ponies living in essentially different regions or countries within ponyland (ie Flutter Valley, of course, but then the Weird Wood and Whispering Wood broke up areas from one another, there was Rainbow Mountain as well, and the Mountain Boys were also living in a mountain with an old wizard...) So I guess I see Ponyland as more of a planet than a country, and that there are many different types of ponies living in different lands within it. And I have this general intergenerational theory that the mines where Rarity was held in the only G4 animated episode I actually liked are the same mines as the ones in which the Twinkle Eyes were enslaved way back in the comic era.
I tend to think of Generation 1 as the mediaeval period of pony history, although I did track back originally with some species being older than others, probably starting in the seas with the Sea Ponies, I imagine. I think I figured Wingers evolved from butterflies rather than from fish, though, and Flutter Ponies evolved from dragonflies (the French name means dragonfly-ponies) and so that's why they're so much smaller, because they evolved from small, light creatures which travel in the air not through water or on the ground. It's also why the flutters have long and elegant legs rather than stubby ones :D
My Pretty Pony is like the dinosaur of the pony world...or more like the evolutionary equivalent of the creatures that evolved into humans. Originally earth ponies, pegasus ponies and unicorn ponies evolved in different places but now most lands in ponyland are multicultural :D
Ponies are also obviously not the only species, there are fairies and mermaids and all kinds of other creatures on this planet as well.
The MLP Tales are still Generation 1 but in a sense they are a later era of G1. The Tropical Isle in their day doesn't have the Tropical Ponies, suggesting they come from an earlier era than the Sunbright family. Patch's concept of knights and stuff also fits in well with the old animated ideas of things like the Wouldbe Dragonslayer.
Generation 3 and Generation 4 mark further evolutions of pony society through later generations. Generation 4 is obviously a more modern era, in which 'Ponyland' is now 'Equestria' and appears to have been an all conquering empire. Unfortunately, despite heavy reliance on their history to actually do anything, many ponies have lost the knowledge of their forefathers and that's why Twilight and company are so bogged down in forcing everyone to become friends and why Twilight's stuck doing so much research.
You might say that Celestia could be a descendent of Majesty and that her/Twilight's Spike is a descendent of Majesty's spike. Although having seen the giant adult dragon 'Spike' GOH toy, I prefer the idea that Spike isn't a baby dragon in G4 but has had his memory and his powers sealed since G1. No reason dragons can't survive thousands of years...
So anyhow, just some of my weird concepts.
I never thought about Knight Shade and where he came from o.O.
-
I think it was Al-1701 who created the idea that Spike and the dragons attendants of the princess ponies are all brothers. I really like that idea too.

-
I dunno about Spike, but I think the comic intimates that's the case or that there's some connection by making Smokey the youngest :/ I always read it that way, anyway...
But not that they were kin to Spike.
-
My timeliness is g1 g3 g2 3.5g4
After g1 the races separated so my little pony tail was the pony colony g3 is when the races forget about eachother then they come back together
-
I love the idea that the So-Softs are cold-weather ponies and that the sea ponies are taking care of the baby merponies!
-
Some head canons I dare not speak of...
But here's some of mine that I will tell:
MM Windy and Surbet are a couple and MM Windy is gender fluid. Just cause I saw them together in my mess of ponies and 'baits' then saw them together in lots and other people's grouped photos and they stuck XD
Another thing is after mine and Firemuse's army battles at pony meets, i imagined Majesty secretly hates Surprise from bringing back Spike from the "run away" hot-air balloon he was in on Surprise's backcard. Majesty sure did give her a royal "thank you" =P
That's all I can remember right now...
-
Hey Taf, who thought that Wingers evolved from fish? I'm really confused by that one. :blink:

So the dragon attendants are brothers in the comics. :) I also like the idea of the Diamond Dogs holding Rarity in the sane mine as the TEs.

I believe Wish-I-May and Wish-I-Might are twins.
-
Speaking of twins, I think Buttons and SS Bangles would make good twins. They have similar color schemes and "Buttons & Bangles" sounds like a name Hasbro would give a set of Newborn Twins. :) They don't have the same symbol, but Sleepy Head and Sleep Tight have different symbols, so there's a precedent. ;)

I can get on board with this.

Maybe SS Buttons and Bangles. I could see that. Not so much with regular Buttons though.
@LAW - I meant the fact that living things evolved from sea creatures in earth evolution, and the land ponies thus probably evolved from sea ponies. Whereas the wingers would evolve instead from butterflies and flutters from dragonflies. Something like that ;)
-
That Glory and Rarity are related, in some way or another.

Though, cetaceans and pinnipeds evolved from land-dwelling creatures. So, you could go either way.
Let's see
-Dream Valley is a fjord. This both allows for the sea ponies to penetrate deep into the valley and it goes with my general idea that the G1 world is based heavily on Norse mythology.
-The World of G1 MLP is one where the Norse analog culture were the ones to becomes the great empire ruling over much of the known world and being a center of culture and science. The empire ruled for centuries until the eruption of a super volcano that puts the world in a years long cold period. Starving, the empire pushed southward into warmer climates. Forces in the south took umbrage and pushed them back and eventually sacked the weakened empire as the weather warmed again. Now, its territories are divided among many city-states and much of it has been retaken by the wilds.
-The Ancients were a highly advanced race that ruled over the world millions of years ago. Nothing is known of their culture or even biology. Skeletons found alongside their artifacts suggest some cross between reptile and mammal (unlike the completely reptilian dragons). Much of their ruins still standing are from earlier in their presence when they used all stone. However, artifacts have shown them to possess technology millennia ahead of the modern races. Unfortunately, none seems to be functional. Maybe there are some buried facilities that were protected from the ravages and time and the elemryents.
-People use solei quartz crystals for light. These crystals can absorb sunlight and then glow for about 60 times the length of exposure. Light fixtures use mirrored shutters to close them off and conserve their energy when not in use. It's often a village affair when there is a day of fair weather to put our their crystals to charge.
-Earth ponies have the power of geomancy. Through their hooves, they can feel the properties of the ground underneath them. They're close to nature and plant life, able to work a kind of power on the soil to help them grow. Their hooves are also diamond hard and they have the best physical strength and stamina of the three primary breeds.
-Pegasi are built to be light, weighing about 90% that of a ground pony of the similar size. Their skeletons have a structure much like carbon fiber to lighten them without compromising strength and durability. Their sternum is larger than in other ponies and three separate muscle groups attach to it. Their hooves have thinner hulls and spongier innards to both reduce weight and provide a cushion for landing. They are the most resilient of the breeds, healing faster and being the least prone to disease. They also has survive the widest extremes of temperature and pressure.
-Unicorns are actually the weakest of the breeds. They don't have the strength of earth ponies or resilience of pegasi. They make up for this by wielding magic.

Wow, those are good.

Thank you.
Some more character-centered ones.
-Magic Star was born to a unicorn father and earth pony mother. Although she was born an earth pony, she has a strong connection to magic and seems to have a sixth sense for it. She can feel the nature of magic of a place. She collects good luck charms and even built a magic wand as good as any unicorn's horn which shrinks down into a stylish manepin when not in use for easy storage.
-Paradise is nearsighted and wears a pair of cat's eye eyeglasses on a pearl chain to give her a "librarian look".
-While it can be inferred from the series, Wind Whistler is in fact an aspie. Her favorite accessory is a white Alice headband, though it can't keep her forelock from falling over left eye some.
-Fizzy is one of if not the youngest of the adult Dream Valley ponies. She is arguable still a filly in the beginning and doesn't have full control over her bubble magic. She wears a big, pink ribbon in her mane like Apple Bloom's.
-Gusty is a punk, but has a good heart if she lets you see it. She wants to defend everyone and is actually interested in nursing. She keeps her mane cut short and holds what's left back with a maple leaf barrette.
-Shady is a constant worrier. She sees herself as weak, and therefore fears the others see her as a burden. To make up for this, she is always looking out for trouble, but trouble can be found anywhere. Most ponies brush it off as Shady being Shady. However, when she really feels something is up, she will strike out on her own to deal with it. Fortunately, she always has her magic sunglasses with her that can make the inkiest darkness daylight and even reveal that which was hidden from normal sight. Shady is actually quite the hero to many, but most ponies consider her stories flights of fantasy. Maybe someday she and her glasses will prove their worth to them.
-Heart Throb is never seen without her pearls around her neck.
-Bow-Tie and Ribbon wear a pair of ribbons in their mane. Kind of goes without saying.
-Medley's favorite accessory is a choker with an inset amber jewel.
-Posey wears a fake flower in her mane.
-Truly is the resident nurse. She is also a wild crafter. She knows which plants and herbs help with what aliments, other natural remedies, and can even find groundwater with a willow switch. She is always in uniform with her mane kept in a tight and neat bun. While she's still a snobby southern belle character, she not as much of a clueless idiot as the series presented her as.
Another species note. Pegasi have an internal compass like birds. They can feel magnetic directions with some more sensitive than others. North Star has the best internal compass of the group, able to know a direction down to the minute of a degree.
-
Applejack is always ready to rescue a friend when she thinks they’re in danger but her tendency to rush to them without thinking things through often leads to her being the one in need of rescuing.
Great theories Al-1701. :)

Reviving this because I recently got SS Twilight and wanted to share my interpretation of her ^.^
Her flocking is pretty okay, but her hair got chopped down to be a bit shorter than normal. My first thought was "pony Nancy Drew"...maybe it was the candle cutie mark that helped me think of this? It gives me the idea that she uses candles to light her way in an abandoned house looking for clues or something.

I like that "So Soft Twilight is Pony Nancy Drew" one, since I'm a fan of the Nancy Drew books.
Well, let's see.. here are some of mine:
* The Year 5 Princess Ponies are Majesty's daughters
* In the G1 cartoon universe, Majesty was on a years-long mission of some kind or otherwise MIA during the time period seen in the show, hence her not being able to intervene in the umpteen crises.
* Majesty's magic mirror exists in the cartoon universe too, where it was created to help deal with lengthy danger periods by allowing ponies to become mothers without having to keep an unborn foal protected for 11 months.
* Flutter Ponies have endless lifespans, never aging after they grow up.
* Flutter Ponies sometimes get their wings tinted as a fashion thing
* Honeysuckle is Rosedust's second in command and also her wife.
* Scoops and Lickety-Split are a couple, a relationship that developed over the course of Lickety-Split's frequent visits to the Satin Slipper Sweet Shoppe
* Megan, Molly, and Danny eventually moved to Ponyland full time.
* G3 is set in a world where ponykind finally managed to put paid to the stream of threats for good, but got scattered and dwindled in number in the process.
-
I only had two ponies as a child, so my head canon only really extends to them. In my head, Applejack is a boy and Sunlight is his girlfriend :lol:
-
I believe that Twilight Sparkle is a relative of Starlight.
Rainbowdash is a decendent of Whizzer, not Firefly.
That G3 Minty and G3 Pinkie are cousins.
That Thistle Whistle is a descendent kf Quackers since she has a bird speech quirk.
