[Pone 141]

For me, I personally don't like the Fluttershy is scootaloo's mother headcannon, what about you guys?

I don't like the idea that Screwball is Discord's daughter. In other word's I don't like 'Daddy Discord'.

Orphan Scootaloo

 

Or just about any headcanon that boils down too "We haven't seen X's parents, therefore they're orphans or they've had miserable/depressing lives)

[Pinguino~ 85]

Lets see where does the list start. Its not so much "Headcannon" as it is fandom nonsense.

First "Time turner is the doctor" Please I can take some crossovers but that is a bit too much for me.

Vynal and Octavia, Derpy and muffins, Fluttershy and Discord, Alicorn oc's, Oc's. The list goes on and on.

That G1 and G4 are somehow connected.

[M'aiq the Liar 5,804]

The Vinyl and Octavia lesbian couple thing. We never really even see the two interact at large in the show, and unlike Lyra and Bonbon(who did a piano duet in EqG2) they did not interact at all. I just have no idea were the voctal ship came from, or why it is so popular.

[Jeric 46,852]

As I do not have to embrace anyone's interpretation of the show as mine, I don't dislike or hate a headcanon. At least not like I hear most people approach it. There are several that I would never buy into myself, like Fluttershy being Scootaloo's mother.  That I would never embrace as it becomes a character breaking concept to me. However, my oldest daughter is a bit twisted when it comes to some of the headcanon concepts and does embrace a few sadder elements, such as the aforementioned Bad Mom Fluttershy.  I may disagree with her approach, but I'm not going to be annoyed that it exists. She is consciously trying to create that internal tapestry that used to be called 'interpretation' before the internet decided to relabel it. I am not only fine with that, I encourage it.

I guess i ment all the headcannons of her and such. sorry own personal eye sight issue on top of aspergers so people going coco crazy over derpy annoyes me sometimes.

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Head canon I do not subscribe too:

 

Pony world was human earth: Celestia orbiting the sun around the planet ALONE should tell you this is not a well thought out theory. Also the whole humans existing in a parallel universe thing should tip people off as well.

(And by human earth I do mean OUR earth, just thought I would make sure this was understood)

 

Rainbow Dash is straight cause its not fair to say she is gay cause of rainbow mane: The way she was checking out Daring Doo implies many many things IMHO. I ask you two questions: If Rd acted like that around a stallion would you say she was attracted? If Daring asked her out on a date do you reeeaaallly think she would say no?

If Chrysalis had a mustache, she would be twirling it constantly. She is so obviously evil, it baffles me when people try to make her some kind of tragic figure.

Orphan Scootaloo

Actually, my reasoning is not because her parents didn't show up. It's how she looks up to Rainbow Dash a lot and even sort of gets adopted as her sister. Rainbow said she would take Scootaloo under her wing, but I don't know how adoption works in Equestria.) 

 

 

 

For a headcanon I dislike: Fluttershy is transsexual. I mean I don't have a problem with X is transsexual headcanons usually (I'm guilty of them.), but people often show that Fluttershy is transsexual only because of her cutie mark. Yes, butterflies are a symbol of transsexuality. Transsexuality is not a special talent.  Would a homosexual character have a gay pride flag as a cutie mark? Well, if they are activists, then maybe. 

[Buck Testa 5,505]

Here's my counter to that.

 

What if humans flew too close to the sun, tampering with powerful energies and radiation?

Already you are losing me. How did humans get close to the sun? What events took place to make this happen? Why did they not just die (which fyi would happen if you get to close to our sun, not just from the heat but the gravity)? What does any of this have to do with the SUN which is many times bigger than our earth revolving around the planet instead of the planet revolving around the sun? The set up is entirely different than our earth

 

What if we caused some sort of massive, world-wide apocalypse?

Then it would be called Adventure Time With Finn and Jake. Notice in THAT cartoon they actually make references and have confirmed evidence artfully delivered that this is the case while no such thing exists in four seasons and two movies of My Little Pony.

Magic is a form of radiation, one we attempted to control. But something went wrong, and the radiation spread throughout the planet, absorbing various types of energy. Some effects were positive, such as the majority of creatures obtaining greater intelligence and the ability to manipulate magic, passively or through conscious will.

wat

Others were negative; the weather stopped, plants ceased to grow without assistance, certain animals could no longer care for themselves, even the sun and moon stopped moving, and of course, all humans died. As I'm sure you can imagine, the world became quite... Chaotic (you see where this is going?). Enter Discord. Discord is possibly a physical manifestation of all the negative and chaotic energy absorbed by the radiation, such as that left by humans. There are many theories I could make that branch from there into what Discord initially did, how his time line fits in with the hearths warming eve time line, yadayadayada, but what happened from there is mostly unrelated. I'd also speculate that the magic absorbed a lot of positive energy along with the negative and chaotic; this took the form of the tree of harmony. Perhaps even at ground zero of the apocalypse.

I agree with the Yadayadayada part. Where is your evidence of ANY of this to prove your "Counter arguement."? And still no mention as to why the sun rotates around the planet instead of vice versa which ONCE AGAIN proves its an entirely different setup than our planet

 

Also, humans existing in an alternate universe does not disprove them having ever existed in any other universe.

it proves a hell of a lot more than what you are shoveling. And third times a charm no adressing of the issue that the sun rotates around the planet

.

Look I do not want to give you a hard time but come on your theory makes no sense and is not based in any kind of canon reality. If the sun rotates around the planet it is smaller than the planet (which our sun is not), about as close as the moon (the moon literally got in the suns way.... that means they around the same distance from the planet), and finally it has nowhere near the thermal or gravitational prowess of our own sun or the entire planet would of been charcoal being so close.

Your theory is all kinds of disproven, that planet is not our Earth.

Edited October 4, 2014 by Buck Testa

[Buck Testa 5,505]

You do realize that "flew too close to the sun" is a figure of speech, right? Please don't try to pass me off as stupid when you don't even recognize a simple and well-known metaphor.

We are talking about the Sun and head canon about said Sun. I took it literally but yes its a well known figure of speech.

. No, none of this has any solid grounds in Canon. That's why it's called a headcanon. I'm simply explaining how it's possible. As for your issue with the sun and moon rotating around earth? Well, The show has made it very clear that they don't do that on their own. Celestia and Luna use powerful magic to move them. So there's your biggest (and apparently your only) argument trumped. Now do you have any other reasons why this headcanon is impossible?

Its not remotely trumped, if anything its bolstered. If Our sun pulled what the sun from the show does on a daily basis our whole solar system would fall apart magic or no. The fact it is a similar size to the moon AGAIN says its a different sun and thus a different planet and set up. Also I had two arguements, no established evidence of a human civilization anywhere in canon AND the revolving sun.

(I'm sorry if I'm coming off as unpleasant, but your condescension and unnecessary hostility is rather agitating.)

I am not being hostile, just completely bewildered at what I am looking at. I also am not saying you are stupid, but if you are coming to me with a counter arguement to prove that Pony world was once our Earth you need to be able to back some of it up with in show canon.

 

Head canon is fine and dandy but as the title of this thread says this is one I really do not like because there is not a shred of evidence to back it up. My evidence trumps anything you have by virtue of its glaring differences with our reality.

 

That is why I do not subscribe to the head canon that the Pony World was once our Earth.

 

I do think the pony world is connected to humans mind you, but not that humans lived there first.

 

I apologize for being snippy, I just like my head canons to have actual canon with it.

If Rainbow is attracted to Daring Do, then she's basically attracted to herself because Do is just a recolor of her. Wow...

[Buck Testa 5,505]

I'm not a big fan of the theory either actually. I simply wanted to give the theory a fair chance, as I've never seen it as impossible. Plenty of people say that the various human technologies found in Equestria are evidence of human existence, but I wouldn't pursue that. I just like headcanons that add to the richness of the world, regardless of concrete proof.

 

And I never noticed a point in the show that proved the sun and moon were the same size, or the same distance from the planet. Either way, if that's true then you do win.

In the story of how the whole nightmare moon thing went down Luna refused to lower the moon. Now I am sure at some point you saw the moon in the sky during the day and the Sun went on with its merry way making the sky blue and bringing day time. However in Equestria this posed an issue cause they both follow the similar orbital distances and the moon literally casts a night sky over the land (which is why its half day and half night when both are up). Similar orbital distance and similar size at that distance proves the Pony sun is around the same size as the pony moon.

 

If Eqg says anything its that Mlp, its that Gen 4 takes place in an entirely different yet parallel demension that has different laws of nature than our own. This Alternate reality has spiritual and mental connection with the human world, even having people/ponies with similar personalities and names. Thus the fan concept of Ponysonas are actually canon in my theory.

The one where they are dead? I'm pretty sure it's canon that they are dead. I could be wrong though.

Oh. Well, I've seen several versions of how they died. Cart Crash, Rarity murdered them (Yes, I've seen that one...) eaten by timber wolves, I can't remember the others. Of course, they are usually ridiculous.
