EG Headcanons!

[Squint 29]

Spout any headcanons about the world of Equestria! The one with humans, mind you.

 

Here's mine: EG is a parallel universe to Equestria but it is during a different time. The fact that Twilight was at a different school (as mentioned by Ponkle) at the time of the film draws a parallel between EG and FiM, since in S1E1 FiM Twilight was in a different town (Canterlot) and moved to Ponyville later. It appears in the same episode that all the others of the mane six didn't even know each other.

My Equestria Girls headcanon:

 

Equestria Girls is a parallel universe between the time that Twilight went to school and before she moved to Ponyville, just a theory that I made myself.

Looks like we're on the same wavelength!

On the same wavelength with similar headcanons, yes.

On the same wavelength with similar headcanons, yes.

Well, they're actually exactly the same.

Human Pinkie smokes the dank. I know it in my heart to be true.

Exactly, the same headcanon. The odds are really good.

I mentioned this in another thread, but my head canon is that the Equestria Girls universe will rewrite it's own reality based on the memories of any visitors from other worlds. This is why basically everyone Twilight knew happened to all be at that high school at once.

I’ve always seen Twilight Sparkle as one of the least endowed of the Humane 6. Human Twi remains the petite cute nerd. Pony Twi would have her.... “assets” increased if she were to return to the human world as queen

ahhh, I'm gonna be shitposting here a lot, but one of my headcanons is that Changelings are cats in the human word.

You would get a job at Hasbro for that awesome idea!

Here's mine: 

EG is essentially an alternate universe where the Mane Six and Twilight live normal lives, they aren't in a high position of government like in the main show. It's also the place where Sunset Shimmer lived in exile due to her turning evil on Celestia until the events of the first EG movie. 

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

I believe in the early days, there were wars, and the human world was led by powerful humans, and are renowned as historical heroes..... said heroes are the first pastel horses in the human world 

[SpittyPie2005 3,952]

I SPENT YEARS FINDING OUT WHAT I THINK SPIKE IS. I think he's a cocker spaniel/beagle mix for his beagle like features and his spaniel like ears. And much like dragon Spike, he doesn't now who his parents are and don't seem ''dog enough'' to other dogs.

Canterlot is in the Pacific North West, somewhere near the Cascade mountains in either Oregon, Washington or Vancouver.

Rarity and Applejack got married on the beach at sunset with Principal Celestia officiating & all of their friends from Crystal Prep and CHS in attendance.

Principal Celestia just enrolls random teenager girls into her school. She does that a couple of times.  (Sunset Shimmer is adopted by Principal Celestia I guess)

It's difficult to figure out what's going on because human world functions without any adult supervision.

Since apparently Pinkus is friends with Adagio and Aria, I’ve figured a magical shenanigans happens at some point, causing among other things, Adagio’s aging slowing. Dashie gets a son, he gets interested in Adagio, she returns the feelings, and they get a daughter….. Kotobukiya Dashie. I thought of it because I like to compare her with a Dragalia Lost character: the Angel Raphael, who’s also a cute dark skinned tomboy….. and she’s voiced by Kazumi Evans 

[Steve Piranha 29,419]

I thought of this rather crazy headcanon, but: Daring Do adventures don’t really exist in the human world. All these book, all those adventures, all those characters, that Daring Do…. At all the very same deal in Equestria. I mean, Daring Do discovering a portal to the human world and selling her books there just like she does in Equestria seems less far fetched than those adventures existing in the human world

Here are some headcanons I have about the city of Canterlot:

• Canterlot is located in the Mid-Atlantic region of the US, in the rough equivalent of New Jersey. However, since their universe is different from ours, the geography and borders do not match up perfectly.
• In total, Canterlot is approximately 90 square miles in area. The Equestria Girls series seems to imply that it covers quite a large area, and it seems to contain a lot of different attractions and infrastructure.
• There are two freeways that run through Canterlot: Interstate 99 and State Route 17. I-99 runs through southern Canterlot before curving into the eastern (urban seaport) district, while Route 17 runs straight through western Canterlot. I recently made a list of interchanges for both highways.
• The northern border of Canterlot is marked by the Mistmane River. Canterlot has a lot of locations named after the Pillars and other Equestrian historical figures, since I assume they also had counterparts in the human world.
• There are at least two or three other high schools in Canterlot besides Canterlot High and Crystal Prep. There's no way a big suburban city like Canterlot would have only two high schools. Presumably, the human counterparts of ponies not seen in the EG series attend these other schools.

I’d imagine the one of the human Starswirl’s parents is a demon, making him half demon. That’s a popular reason for the source of magic of his main inspiration: Merlin

Oh, thought of another one. 

EQG-verse isn't in perfect sync with Equestria. In the comics, Star Swirl's portal sends the Sirens to modern Earth. And based on their dress and behavior, they weren't there very long. Then Twi shows up what looks like a few days or weeks later. Heck, Sunset Shimmer may have arrived on Earth before the Sirens did, seeign as she was at CHS for four years. 

Not only that, but I suspect despite the physical ages, Princess Twi  and Sunset Shimmer are fully grown adults turned into teenagers. The humane six are high schoolers. The mane six have jobs and own houses. And I don't mean entry level positions and apartments either. AJ maintains a farm. Fluttershy runs an animal clinic and shelter. Pinkie is an event planner and manages a bakery. RD is a civil service weather planner w/ paramilitary stunt work on the side. Rarity is a tailor & fashion designer who franchises multiple boutiques. Even Twi was a post-grad student and librarian before princesshood.

You expect me to believe they accomplished all of that as teenagers?

Sunset Shimmer eventually decided to stay in the human world where she became a famous comic book artist/writer and had a successful

series based on her time with her friends at Canterlot High School which, Sunset chose because she thought people were stupid and

that they would believe it was all a fantasy.

Rainbow Dash had braces when she was younger, at a time before Pony Twilight visited the EQG world. Since Pony Rainbow had braces in a childhood photo in "Parental Glideance", it would make sense for the same to apply to her EQG counterpart during her preteen and early teen years.

The Cutie Mark Crusaders (along with Snips, Snails, Diamond Tiara, and Silver Spoon) are gifted students who are a few grades ahead of their age, making them younger than the average high school freshman.

Sunset Shimmer first came to the EQG universe a few months before Pony Twilight moved to Ponyville to begin her friendship studies.

Thought of another one to add.

Here's a background character headcanon that I've had for a while: Since Photo Finish has an Austrian accent, I like to think that her two assistants each have European accents of their own. Violet Blurr is Scottish, and Pixel Pizazz is Italian.
