In my headcanon if the show were set in the real world and used realistic colourisations, it would have been set in Philadelphia (since Ponyville was meant to be called Fillydelphia) in the early 2010s. The main characters would all be 18-30 years old and go to uni while working part-time jobs or running small businesses, and would all be born American citizens. Twilight Sparkle: Indian (with more Brownish appearance) or Persian, always with a dash of East Asian genetics Rarity: Jewish or Dutch from New York City Fluttershy: generic White girl, coming from Northern California Rainbow Dash: Latina, Mestiza (mixed White and Native) to be exact Pinkie Pie: African American Applejack: White Anglo-Saxon Protestant Southerner

I have a huge crush on Moondancer but also a little feelings for Twilight. If we're being serious, then all kind of love is love for a fictional character: The image of that person that you create in your imagination based on your knowledge of them within their social role as romantic partner. You cannot really know a real person except for themself since you don't have access to what they do when you're not around and their internal thought processes. And maybe even they cannot truly know a real person, because who knows themself well? Therefore, developing intense romantic feelings for a character from a fictional* narrative meant for entertainment, isn't that far off. *virtually everyone, including those who have pony waifus, assume those ponies are fictional, and I stick to that now for the sake of this argument. Though, I actually believe those ponies are real.

Presumably it is just the art style and if the characters were real people, they had other and different heights. This is a common trope: https://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/ShortTeensTallAdults IRL most people reach their adult height during their mid teens. In films and TV shows, especially if animated, teenagers are often shorter than adults to make them look younger and give visual cues about hierarchies.

None. Because the skin colours in EQG always remind me of Doug, one of my most hated childhood cartoons. But if she had a normal colourisation, then Sci-Twi.

I discovered the show when it was about 1 year old and I was a teen. I am now kinda shocked that MLP is considered by some younger fans to be "that nostalgic childhood show". With younger fans I mean those viewers who were actually in the target audience agewise when the fandom was in its heyday so the whole Brony culture went over their heads, but now as young adults they return to the show out of nostalgia.
