MoltenKitten 341 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 Maybe the portal doesn't correspond with the same time as Equestria and the portal Starswirl made was unstable. They could have gone anywhere from the middle ages to the age of hovercars and it is just luck they they happened to arrive at that particular time.

The Awesome One 1,315 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 I always thought they were immortal or they can live for thousands of years and thats why they're still teens. Another theory is that all the negative energy they feed on keeps them young and energetic. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sommar 1,289 June 7, 2015 Share June 7, 2015 (edited) I have three assumptions: 1) They stay young by feeding off negative energy; like how Mother Gothel stayed young by Rapunzel's magical hair. 2)They are immortal like Celestia and Luna and they somehow keep their youthful appearance. or 3)Plot convenience.

Jeremiah 1,586 June 9, 2015 Share June 9, 2015 On 'Earth' there is no real sense of time for them... let me phrase that 'because plot'. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NotoriousSMALL 1,984 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 My theory has always been Starswirl sent them into the future along with the throwing them into our dimension. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Scooter Dracon 29 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Maybe the sirens are just immortal. ... But that explanation is too simple.Adagio says that power in Equestria isn't like power in the Equestria Girls universe. That could mean that aging in EG isn't like in Equestria. This could also mean time is different. In the comics, when the sirens are banished to the EG universe, it is in roman times for Equestria, but it seems like present day to the later 1900s. Maybe the sirens actually haven't lived a long time and they were just recently banished. This could also explain why they were all at such low power and that they were still complaining about being banished. But that's just a theory.

APegLegPirate 168 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 Well, in EG weren't they using a different form. They most certainly weren't using their true form. Given that fact, they obviously have the power to change form. This means they can appear as whatever they like and whatever age they want that form to be.

221BTardisSt 101 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 (edited) I think they're just immortal beings like Discord. As far as the negativity giving them youthfulness, that doesn't make sense, because the sirens implied that they were already very low on negativity juice (?) when the movie started, but when everybody started arguing, they got more, and their magic became stronger. Their appearances didn't really change. All in all, it's probably just plot convenience; saying they are immortal creatures is easier than having three grannies sing at a rock concert.

My mistake, the sirens don't age by feeding off negativity, they simply feed off the negativity to get stronger. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sweetolebob18 728 June 10, 2015 Share June 10, 2015 The key to understanding this is Sunset Shimmer. She was on Earth 4 years at most (assuming she was a Senior). Twilight was Celestia's student for at least 10 years but had never heard of her. This means at least 10 years passed on EQ but only 4 years passed on Earth. Furthermore, nobody on staff mentioned her to Twilight. This means either Celestia ordered everyone to keep quiet about this OR it happened so long ago no one was left who remembered her. Remember, Celestia is well over 1000 years old, SS could have been banished decades, even centuries ago. When the portal is opened, time seems to run about the same on both sides. My Head Canon is that when the portal is closed, time runs a LOT faster in EQ than on Earth. At least 3 to 1, maybe 100 to 1 or more (Anybody ever watch 1st season of Digimon?) Nobody has noticed this yet because Sunset hasn't compared notes w anyone in EQ about "How long have I been gone?" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
NyanCat498 3 June 16, 2015 Share June 16, 2015 I think because the sirens are just up to adulthood, because if you remember when twillight talked about the sirens they seem to be at a very young age and the sirens might be like childrens or something and thus they might be immortal like princess celestia and might be the same age as princess luna. thats what i think Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cmarston1 5,959 June 25, 2015 Share June 25, 2015 Probably because of their magic (feeding off negativity) and their amulets gave them near immortality or something. Either that or sirens are just creatures that live for long long periods of time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DeadAccount 4,604 June 26, 2015 Share June 26, 2015 I think it is due to them feeding off of negativity. So the second those pendants broke, that's when they start aging again perhaps? Sig by My OC:Aqualuna Sea Splash Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Denim&Venöm 19,063 July 2, 2015 Share July 2, 2015 According to the comics, the Sirens only recently came to earth. Maybe Star Swirl's mirror was experimental, either being modified by Swirly or by Celestia herself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest July 9, 2015 Share July 9, 2015 I think that it's because they feed off of negativity and that's what keeps them young or something along those lines. That's what I thought also, negative energy is still energy after all! Maybe the angst of youngsters is rejuvenating Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Splashee 28,564 June 27, 2021 Share June 27, 2021 On 2015-06-04 at 9:50 AM, cider float said: The Sirens were around when Starswirl was around and before the mane six were born. Sunset Shimmer came to the EG world as a freshman (according to her photos in Celestia's office), so there is semblance of aging I believe but how come the Sirens that could be decades old the same age as the mane six? This sounds like Equestria Girls team and FIM team didn't cooperate in their stories. Another question, will anyone age and graduate from that school? I think they are stuck in a time loop forever, until end of time. Well, that was not a question to be answered here, but there is a time AND age problem, that is for sure.

Courageous Thunder Dash 7,824 June 27, 2021 Share June 27, 2021 The sirens are mythical creatures, so it seems like they are immortal. Now, my headcanon is that the Dazzlings wanted power to get what they want, so they sought this power from somewhere. Perhaps they at one point traveled to Equestria and somehow received the powers of the sirens. The Dazzlings are around highschool age. Again, the sirens themselves could be immortal and were manifested during the Ancient Days of Starswirl.

Fluttershutter 2,485 June 27, 2021 Share June 27, 2021 I have to assume they were caught in some kind of time warp and only arrived in the Equestria Girls world as teenagers recently. I'm calling this one Narnia Rules. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
schizo 85 June 28, 2021 Share June 28, 2021 I would personally think its something to do with magic. Not sure what, but something. Maybe its because its easier to cause conflict etc between teenagers for them to produce energy to feed off of. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

There are actual creatures on Earth that scientists at least suspect, are immortal within a reasonable sense. It can't be proven through observation obviously, because... well... there's always more years ahead. If sirens are thousands of years old, they would be on Earth as well, and would age super-slow. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hah, I didn't think of that myself. It could well be that they just have an ungodly long lifespan! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
