How did the crystal ponies become crystal?

Recommended Posts

There are headcanons floating about that the crystal ponies are descendants of the G1 twinkle eyed ponies, who after becoming blind from being forced to work in mines, had their eyes replaced by crystal!

By the way this happened in the G1 comics!

Hm. Seems to happen genetically. Or just stand near the crystal heart. That's how Twilight and her friends got  turned crystal.


I don't care what pony you like because I like everypony!

Interesting... I've been wondering about those eyes... They're just odd to me now; but as a kid they really creeped me out! :lol:

You should try and get hold of the G1 comics. I can't remember the name of the issue but Applejack saves the twinkle eyed ponies by pushing the jewel wizard off of a cliff. Unfortunately though the comics were only published here in the UK:post-24783-0-40036900-1402269417_thumb.jpg

"Applesauce!" cried Applejack; Yes! Even in G1 comics she was best pony! If I happen across any G1 comics I'll be sure to grab them! I think G1 AJ only appeared in the first special and not in the show proper :( remind me if I'm forgetting an appearance.

Well, I would say magic. Because think about it the mane 6 all became crystal ponies for a short time before they left the crystal empire.

That sounds like an opening to a creepypasta  :blink:

I think being born under the sphere of magic from the Crystal Heart gives them their permanent altered appearance. That said, I have an absurd amount of headcanon for the Crystal Ponies, from why they were so isolated from the rest of Equestria to why there are so few Unicorn and Pegasus Crystal Ponies. (We've only seen a handful of each.) The Crystal Ponies are my absolute favourites. =D

Well, as I said this was in a G1 comic! And unlike the FiM comic, the G1 one was for little girls! My mum has a few issues and she told me that some of the stories gave her nightmares!

The G1 character designs gave me nightmares.  I never got to the stories.

Since ponies and little girls are made of sugar and spice and everything nice[citation needed] it is obvious that they will crystallize if in an aqueous solution over a long enough period of time.

By being born under the influence of the crystal heart. The heart temporarily effects other ponies when it activates, and I'd guess being born in its energy field would cause permanent alterations.

I would think they're just a separate; but lesser-numbered race of ponies. Even though the mane 6 did turn to crystal after the crystal heart did its thing, they couldn't automatically switch between different states like the crystal ponies could in the lead up to the crystal heart.

That actually sounds about as good as anything else; in truth.

Are Crystal ponies  different than earth ponies in power form? Reason why I ask is because tirek never mentioned controlling the Crystal ponies. :l

Fair point, though it is possible that King Sombra's curse on the empire could've happened before Tirek ventured into Equestris and, therefore, was largely unaware of the Crystal Empire itself.

 

Imagine though if he was! King Sombra vs. Lord Tirek!

Well if tirek was out for 2 or 3 years he would've known about cadence taking over the empires. Obviously he had Intel on cadence already. so why not the empire? This leaves a big gap in the story. They need to branch out on all the characters. Villains included

Well, I am speaking of a time before even Nightmare Moon coming about; when Tirek & Scorpan had first ventured into Equestria and when Star Swirl the Bearded was still around, which was way before Cadence's time.

 

My timeline is this:

 

1. Celestia & Luna banish Sombra; Sombra curses the Crystal Empire

 

2. Later Tirek & Scorpan venture into Equestria to steal pony magic, Scorpan has a change of heart and Tirek is imprisoned. At this time it is reasonable to believe that the brothers hadn't even heard of the Crystal Empire, IMO.

Ok yes I understand that point but he escaped tartarus and was in hiding for 2-3 years. He stl could have ventured little by little learning about what had happened since his imprisonment. He clearly new about cadence when he started stealing magic. Sooo Idk what's your thought on this?

All right, fair point there.

 

My guess is that the ponies of Equestria were his priority; especially considering it was Celestia & Luna that had imprisoned him. Had he succeeded in defeating Twilight and stealing her magic, then he eventually would've made his way to the Crystal Empire.

 

The Crystal Ponies, IMO, were just low on his priority list. Probably on level of, say...maybe the griffons as well.

Ok ok fair point. Still kinda just wondered that after I watched the episode 4 times over as he stole each type of ponies powers. :l I do believe we have come to a stand point my friend. :)
