Why is Derpy the mother of Dinky?

She isn't, there's actually evidence in the show debunking it. If you look at the background events you'll see that she's actually Golden Harvest's daughter in canon. And before anyone calls foul on this because Golden Harvest is an Earth Pony, that can also be explained as Golden Harvest, in canon, is paired with a unicorn stallion called written script.

 

Now unfortunately I can't find a way to link the actual images onto this site but if you look at Golden Harvest's MLP wiki entry you'll see the screenshots.

Your fanon/headcanons have been debunked!

Initially, I thought it was possible that Derpy could be Dinky's mother. Once I looked at Dinky again, I noticed that her coat is more of a purple rather than a gray. I guess the only reason I thought that before was because their coats looked to be the same color.

I think Derpy as Dinky's aunt because I like imagining her as innocent and pure... not with kids. I think of Cloud Kicker and Ponet as her parents

I think people latch on to this particular bit of "fan lore" because they want to look at Derpy as a single mother who is making the best of her situation. Even though has a handicap of sorts and it can be difficult to raise a foal on your own even without that; I think people want to latch onto to a romantic of idea toughing it out for those you love.

 

And with Derpy having a lot of fans I can see them putting that sort of character into her.

 

I'm not the biggest fan of it myself, but I can see why it is popular.

None of that nonsense is canon of course...for good reason.

 

It's silly. The filly spoken of has no known name and of course has no relation to Derpy, which is too young to have children of her own...if she is capable of having them at all. I refuse to call the filly "Dinky" and refuse to suggest that she is in any way related to Derpy.


 

 

They loon similer

"Loon similer"?

 

You mean, Look similar? And no, they don't in any reasonable stretch of the imagination have any similar characteristics.

I also don't see Derpy as being a mother. My own headcanon is that Dinky is Derpy's small cousin. That explains why they look similiar and yet why Dinky was at the Sisterhooves event with another pony. I think that Derpy looks too young to be a mother, as well. She's not irresponsible; she has that job as mailmare, remember? Just too young.

It makes no sense at all.

 

Just because their colours are similar does not mean Dinky is the daughter. That's basically like saying that Pinkie Pie is cousins with Princess Cadance because their coats are similar.

It doesn't matter if she is a pegasus and the little one is a unicorn. The cake ponies are both earth, and they have a pegasus and unicorn for twins. What's more concerning is why the fandom seem to pair them as a mum and daughter, yet don't give a dad.

Adopt? Well, I don't think that's true. I think Derpy and Dinky being family alongside Dr. Whooves probably originated from a fanfiction or something. But I'm still confused about Amethyst Star being Dinky's big sister. They were both at the Sisterhooves Social together.

Did they adopt both of them ?

While this is true that Amythyst Star competed with Derpy, let's not forget that Applejack competed with Sweetie Belle, so Amythyst could have been a sub like someone, just like Applejack was for Rarity (at least for the start of the race)

Because this fanbase has a strange fascination with giving background props that are only meant to fill out crowd scenes personalities and backstories.
