Line 24:
== Spike is just a normal, run-of-the-mill dragon with normal fire. ==
It's not that his breath has special letter sending powers, the scrolls themselves are made to be sent to various places when set on fire. This is why Twilight's book was turned to ash in Owl's Well That Ends Well instead of just being sent to Celestia. As for the green coloring, Spike's diet is probably unusual due to not being wild. If I had to guess, he eats a lot of copper coins [them being cheaper than gems] and nibbles on rocks if he needs a snask. Copper sulfide would make green fire in our world.
* I've got it! When scrolls are addressed to somepony and then set on fire, they're sent in the most convenient way for the receiving pony to get it - for Celestia it's her little alcove thing we see at the end of Griffon the Brush Off (not to mention she gets bobarded from above with the scrolls Spike accidental sends), and for Twilight the letters are received through Spike!
Line 32:
== Spike is a stealth [[Audience Surrogate]]. ==
Expanding on the [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* On the other hand his reaction may stem from the fact that just because he doesn't want to go to the Gala doesn't mean he doesn't want to be ''invited.'' His reaction to the gala is pretty much that of a littler brother having to hear about his sister's upcoming slumber party, sure he might not want to be there for the whole thing, but that doesn't mean he wants to be totally excluded either. The rest of this is a dead-on description of the male [[Periphery Demographic]] though.
== Spike is a young [[
Because why not?
* It's possible he may grow up to be an eastern-styled dragon given his lack of wings and affinity for mustaches.
Line 49:
== Spike isn't "Spike's" real name. ==
[[
== Spike is half pony. ==
His head is slightly pony-like, he's the only dragon we've seen with differently colored scales and spikes (like a mane), and he has a crush on a pony.
* Maybe his mom was a naturalist who was studying dragons during mating season and she got too close.
* He may be like a dog; his breed was domesticated/
* Jossed. "Secret of My Excess" shows that Spike, at least when he's fully grown, is just like the other two dragons we've seen. Just with a couple of birth defects, or possibly of a different, wingless and differently colored race.
* In "Dragon Quest" the teenage dragons accuse Spike of being part pony. Granted they're also [[Jerkass]] teens.
Line 70:
== Spike will not grow up to be like the dragons we have seen.. ==
Instead he will grow up to be a [[Dungeons
* Agreed that baby!Spike growing gigantic in 'Cutie Mark Chronicles' was Twilight's magic going haywire and not showing us what he will look like. Even if he doesn't end up like his Imagine Spot in 'Dog And Pony Show' his appearance suggests he won't look like either the cave-dwelling dragons he's met/been attacked by, or the one in the river.
** Jossed. In season two episode "Secret of my Excess" Spike's hoarding instinct triggers and he goes into what amounts to dragon puberty; over the course of a couple of days he gets about as big as that Ursa Minor<ref>Then a [[Heel Realization]] reverses the whole process. So, uh...take from that what you will</ref>.
Line 104:
== Spike is some kind of special breed Astropath Dragon ==
Consider this: Spike is visually slightly different from other dragons we've witnessed, he breaths wierd green fire and can send communiques across great distances magically. Perhaps he's a special breed either engineered by Celestia or one that came about by some bizare fluke that's specialised into an organic magical telegraph system alá the [[Warhammer
== Spike will grow wings. ==
Line 145:
== Spike's Age ==
Expanding on the WMG [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Spike will never grow up. ==
Line 192:
== The Fire Ruby that Spike gave to Rarity will become a [[Chekhov's Gun]] ==
Spike mentions that he's been aging the ruby in preparation for eating it. Since he gave it away rather than simply eating it, it will continue to grow and store energy that will later be used to temporarily transform Spike into an adult dragon that is not as monstrous as his "greedy" form but even more powerful. It may even be able to unlock a mysterious seventh Element of Harmony: Love.
* More poetically, it's a symbol of his generosity.
** It's more a symbol of his love for Rarity than his inherent generosity, Spike is a nice guy and all but I doubt he would have given the gem to Applejack or Rainbow Dash if they'd shown any interest in it.
*** Probably, but it is explicitly said that he would only change back with a great act of generosity, which was fulfilled with him remembering how he had given the ruby to Rarity.
Line 200:
It's pretty much know that dragon have very very long lives, and Spike shouldn't be an exception of this: He will outlive everyone in Ponyville. He has shown several ways in which he embodies several of the elements already, more explicitly:
* Friendship/Magic: He has been Twilight's best friend since he was born, and is the only one who has a direct line with Princess Celestia. Whether if it's his own fire or the parchments that are enchanted is irrelevant: He's the only one who has that magical task.
* Loyalty: "Congratulations, you're the new Rainbow Dash". Plus, like said before, he has been at Twilight's side from birth.
* Generosity: In "Secret of my excess" He managed to suppress his greedy dragon nature by remembering an act of generosity he had towards Rarity.
* Honesty: In "Owls Well that Ends Well" He learns the harm of lying, and often tell the other ponies exactly what he thinks
Line 219:
== Spike sees Twilight as a sister. ==
[[Word of God]] [http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-B8qXWF1UoiQ/TvAGRk46vOI/AAAAAAAAYhw/BAKapxv7NP4/s1600/1.jpg Faust] has confirmed, it was Princess Celestia who raised and trained Spike before he ended up living with Twilight Sparkle. However, she felt that they both belonged together seeing as it was Twilight who hatched him. This would explain why during the beginning of winter wrap up he said,"You're not mommy," to Twilight. Because he saw Celestia like a mother figure. But Spike does care about Twilight. Like in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
* The show may change the idea for Spike's background. This idea was by Lauren, and seeing as she sadly, is no longer a major part of making FIM episodes, this may change. She said herself, the show may treat it differently.
** In Cathy Weseluck's [https://web.archive.org/web/20120429014548/http://www.alltasteexplosion.com/?p=1933 interview], she states that Spike does seem to share a big sister-little brother relationship with Twilight (she didn't outwardly say it, but it was heavily implied that she meant Twilight)
== Spike and Rarity will have kids. ==
Despite their difference in age, Rarity will realize Spike's feelings, and overtime return them. As shown in past episodes, he is a different breed of dragon. And so he'll grow at a different rate (much faster than other dragons), and have different appearance than other dragons too. As time goes by, and he grows older, he and Rarity will decide to have kids. Ponies and dragons can in [[Interspecies Romance|fact breed]]. They can give birth to an animal called a [[wikipedia:Qilin|kirin]]. Kirins are descended from pony/dragon hybrids.
* [http://nabbiekitty.deviantart.com/art/Gem-Commission-284966362 Here's what their kid would look like]
* Wouldn't it be a [[Yu-Gi-Oh!|Blue Eyes White Dragon]]? Just think about it. Rarity has blue eyes and a white coat...
== Spike is [[Phineas and Ferb|a secret agent]] ==
The reason he's not seen when he should have been in episodes like "The Last Round-up" or "Read it and Weep"? He was fighting [[Just for Pun|Doctor Hoofenshmirtz]] [[Hero of Another Story|while the mane 6 were off doing their own adventures.]]
== The reason Spike hasn't been seen much in Season 2 is... ==
Because he's also a diplomat to dragon lands for Celestia. He hasn't shown up much this season because he hasn't had much TIME to show up.
* Interesting theory, but [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Spike has no parents, and was created by magic. ==
Princess Celestia had sensed the Element of Magic in Twilight Sparkle, and so made a change to the entrance exam. Celestia wanted to make the exam more challenging for Twilight, and so picked a challenge that required using a large amount of magic. The new test was bringing something to life. Dragons are tough creatures, due to their thick scales, and thus more resistant to magic. Which would make hatching a dragon, more challenging. However, Celestia knew that dragons are very protective of their babies, and refused to steal a child from its parents. And so, she created a dragon egg with her magic, for Twilight to hatch in the entrance exam. And raised him, with some help from Twilight of course.
== Spike's species is from a land far, far away from Equestria, possibly Zecora's homeland. ==
Line 244:
== Spike '''will''' grow wings. ==
Spike grew up in the show so far through magic and being greedy and selfish. Every other dragon that we've seen so far in the show is greedy and selfish. Who's to say he won't grow up differently and possibly get wings because he's NOT greedy and selfish like every other dragon we've seen?
The Secret of My Excess- It shows him growing up, by greed growth. But how do we know that Greed-Growth is the only way he'll grow up? It's most likely a malformed (Not formed correctly), and evil version of how he'll grow up. Now that he's no longer selfish, he may look different when he's older.
Line 252:
He's still just a baby dragon. His wings may grow in later. Or maybe he's just a late bloomer.
* So... Growing up differently will make him look like all the other dragons?
** What I mean is, his look when he was Greedy was simply a malformed (Not formed correctly) version of how he'll look when he's grown up. Now that he isn't greedy anymore, he'll grow up naturally. Meaning that he'll grow up like all the other dragons, with wings. It never said anywhere that dragons only grow up by practicing greed, but only that it accelerates their growth, and turns them into mindless beasts. None of the dragons we've seen act like that. The adults we saw in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
*** The teenage dragons were acting pretty close to how teen Spike was, if less focused on hoarding. Adult!Spike was capable of understanding the ponies, and reacted more calmly the dragon from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
** While Adult!Spike was capable of understanding the ponies, and reacted more calmly the dragon from [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
*** Why do people assume that adult Spike was incapable of speech? Adult dragons just don't seem to be big on talking. While the Owl's Well dragon spoke without prompting, the Dragonshy dragon had all of two lines, both after Fluttershy stared it into submission, and the adults from Dragon Quest were never even implied to say anything. The first episode in the series also established that dragons speak so rarely that most ponies aren't even aware that they can talk. After he reached full size, Spike just plain didn't have anything to say. Going silent for five minutes doesn't mean that a character has lost the ability to speak.
*** Zecora did say that he would turn into a monster, but every dragon with more than ten seconds of focus has shown some monstrous behavior. The red and green adults' had violent tempers and the teens were, well, [[Teenagers Are Monsters|teenagers]]. Even aside from the question of how literal that statement was, an adult dragon being referred to as a monster is hardly strange. A well behaved adult would be the oddity.
*** The teen dragons from Dragon Quest showed worse behavior than Greedy!Spike. Some of the background ones without a speaking role might have been nicer than the foreground ones, but that wasn't really shown. Garble and his gang had wings, but no sign of restraint. That doesn't seem to imply that wings come from good behavior.
**** The wings may not come from good behavior, but just grow in naturally overtime. What I think is that, dragons grow a little bit whenever they are just a little greedy. Or maybe greed isn't involved at all with how a dragon grows, but can accelerate the growth process, but like I said before, ''that'' growth process creates a malformed, adult dragon. All dragons will grow their wings overtime, but for some it takes longer. Spike is simply a late bloomer. Garble teases him about not having wings, because '''he''' can't remember a time he didn't have them. His memories of being a baby, are distant, and long forgotten, and so doesn't remember when he didn't have them.
Line 271:
== Spike didn't get along with the Dragons from Dragon Quest because they're a different type of dragon ==
It's implied that spike ''may'' be a wingless type of dragon. However, he didn't know that he may be a wingless dragon, and simply joined the winged dragons in hopes of fitting in. But really, he is a type of wingless dragon, and would get along much better with his breed of dragon, having much more in common with them, and it being easier to live with them.
== Spike lost interest in Rarity. ==
Line 282:
== Despite the introduction of Shining Armor, Spike and Twilight are still like brother-sister ==
Based on dialogue from previous episodes, it's implied that Spike and Twilight always had a strong bond:
* Owl's Well that ends Well he was afraid that Twilight didn't love him anymore. Showing that he really cares about her opinion, and would do anything to please her. Which shows that they must have some kind of affection for each other. It also shows that he loves his job as Twilight's assistant, and won't let anyone take away his job. Also, Twilight was the only one that went looking for him after he ran away, and the only pony (with some help from the owl) that saved him from the dragon. She also says that no one could ever take his place.
And that knew each other ever since they met:
* Secret Of My Excess mentions how for every birthday he had, Twilight was the only one that gave him a gift. Sure he only got a book, and he didn't seem to thrilled about it, but that proves that these two stuck by each other.
** Another small example would be, when Twilight takes him to the pony doctor. She takes him there, as if he were just any normal filly or colt. She didn't even consider that because he's different, that they he may be treated differently. That alone seems touching.
Line 298:
For Shining Armor it was different. He was someone that she could look up to. He was a mentor to her, and her very first friend. He taught her things like how to fly a kite, and helped her with her magic. Spike wouldn't be able to do this. Not only would he be a baby, but '''in the flashbacks, Twilight didn't have her cutie mark yet. So he didn't exist yet!''' Shining Armor was probably her only friend ''before'' she became Celestia's pupil, and thus also before she met Spike. Twilight mentioned they drifted apart, and that's probably the point in time when the drifting happened - when Twilight became Celestia's pupil. And also, she said she hasn't seen him ''since'' she moved to Ponyville. she misses him. The song is meant to add more depth to that. It was to let the audience know what their relationship was. For spike, we already know what their relationship is. Just watch Owl's Well That End's Well, and Dragon Quest. It pretty much shows that they're like family to each other. He's like her l.b.b.f.f (little brother best friend), and those episode worked fine without a song because we didn't need them.
* An alternate theory that could also be accepted is: [[Word of God]] suggested that Celestia took to the initial raising of Spike, given the general lack of pony knowledge on dragon raising, only giving her to Twilight as an assistant when both were mature enough for it. Hence, the Twi/Spike relationship - prior to being sent off to Ponyville - would be more formal, and becoming more sibling as they both learned to adjust to Ponyville. This would also be consistent that leaving Shining (whom she still probably saw every day while at Canterlot), her relationship with Spike would be upgraded to the sibling nature to make up for not being around Shining.
In case you're still skeptical here:
{{quote|
She loves her brother like a friend.
Line 308:
== Spike has his own friends, who he regularly hangs out with. ==
Because it would be weird for a guy to always hang around his older sister's friends, and he doesn't get that much screen time. When we don't see him, assume he's with his own friends. I don't know who, so let's just say Snips, Snails, & Big Macintosh.
* It does seem to make sense, since it's shown in The Secret Of My Excess that he has enough friends that he could get tons of gifts from, when he turned greedy. It's shown that he knows a colt called Lickety-Split (similar to the g1 pony from the movie). We've also seen that the cutie mark crusaders have interacted with him before, just offscreen. We probably just don't see him hang out with them much, since he's practically married to his work, and seems to have fun hanging out with the mane 6 much more. Sure it may seem weird to hang out with a sister's friends, but many siblings do that often, and the mane 6 seem to enjoy having him around. They don't seem to be complaining.
== Spike hangs out with the CMC off-screen often ==
Line 340:
The Apple parents never seem to be around. In "Bridle Gossip", Applejack tells Apple Bloom she'll tell Big Macintosh on her, conforming that Big Macintosh is the highest authority figure, and that the parents aren't just off-camera. As seen in the flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", AJ's parents weren't around when she was a filly either, suggesting they died when she was still young. Significantly, Apple Bloom isn't around too. This leads to the conclusion that Apple Bloom is in fact the result of a teenage pregnancy, and they're just passing her off as Applejack's sister to avoid embarrassment. As for who the father is, well, [[Brother-Sister Incest|considering Applejack's love for her family…]]
* Maybe the father is just some ex-coltfriend AJ had in the pony-version of high school. Either way, its unlikely Hasbro would approve of any hint of teenage pregnancy in the show.
** Applejack only seems to be in her early twenties in the show (in human years), and Applebloom seems to be about eleven or so, just by how she acts and talks. Unless ponies can reproduce very early, this is unlikely, though something Applejack might do.
* Alternatively, Apple Bloom is Big Macintosh's daughter, from a previously relationship with a mare who may now be dead.
** But can you really see that happening to Big Macintosh?
Line 354:
== Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara will eventually become friends or [[Friendly Rival|Friendly Rivals]] ==
Well, they'd better at least tolerate each other for the sake of the relationship between Sweet Apple Acres and Barnyard Bargains.
== Apple Bloom's Cutie Mark may have something to do with Zap Apples. ==
Line 395:
== Scootaloo is Fluttershy's sister. ==
Her colors are similar to Fluttershys but much darker.
* Also, as fillies both are/were weak flyers and Fluttershy's habbit of wing-propelled running is alot like Scootaloo's wing-propelled scooting. Scootaloo's talent has been hinted at being dancing, and Fluttershy is acknowlaged as being graceful herself. It would also be cute.
** More likely is that Scootaloo is Fluttershy's Ponyville cousin or something.
* G3/3.5 Scootaloo did have a butterfly as a cutie mark...
Line 403:
== Scootaloo's still Cheerilee's younger sis. ==
[[Word of God|Word Of Faust]] was that Ponies could interbreed, wasn't it? It could explain why she's such a weak flier, being half-Earth Pony.
* Scootaloo is not a weak flier. She just can't get off the ground much, which is NORMAL for pegasus fillies (this may have been retconned as of [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Ditzy Doo/Derpy Hooves is Scootaloo's older sister ==
Line 433:
This is actually common for pegasus foals, and it's why we haven't been formally introduced to any members of her family yet: they're back home. Their jobs keep them busy most of the time, so they can't visit as much as they'd like or give their daughter the supervision she'd require if they were up in Cloudsdale or another pegasus city.
== Scootaloo was in fact, [[Raised
I'm kinda surprised that it wasn't brought up sooner. She isn't a chicken and she knows it, but she was abandoned to be raised by chickens. Maybe she's embarrassed by this...
== Scootaloo will be a [[Supreme Chef]]. ==
Considering how [[Lethal Chef|awful]] Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle's cooking are. Although to be fair the former was following directions from Pinkie Pie and the latter followed her mother and did improved a bit (Although still messy.) Scootaloo will end up being the [[Team Chef|best cook]] of the three or at least something better. It'll be a nice twist of her [[Tomboy]] attitude.
== Scootaloo's cutie mark will be a lightning bolt ==
Line 466:
== Scootaloo is going to become a scientist ==
When she tries to fly in [[My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic
== Scootaloo thinks that getting her Cutie Mark will make her parents love her...and come back. ==
Line 477:
** And the others seem much older than her, despite all appearing the same age. One of the easiest diagnostic criteria for Dyspraxia is falling behind their peers and remaining infantile in terms of physical and cognitive development. I've got dispraxia and she reminds me of me as a child, and as she's such a lovely character it's nice to think she could be a role model to other kids.
*** [[Word of God]] says that ponies develop faster physically than mentally; the core cast members are all roughly the same age and physically mature, but range from a mental age of 12 to 17. Sweetie Belle doesn't need to have a diagnosable disorder to wind up on the low end of the curve for her age.
*** I'm going out on a limb and say that the reason why they mature physically faster than mentally is that they live in an idealized environment. Because they haven't been exposed to the problems that plague human society, they lack the life experiences that would force maturity. Essentially, ponies live a sheltered existence. Just look at the way they freak out over natural processes like weather not being controlled or animals taking care of themselves.
** Well they are all clearly adults (holding down jobs and living alone) and they're much harder to diagnose, as the natural formation of personality through life experience and the compensation for difficulties obscures such natural disabilities. Kids have less influences, so the effects are much easier to isolate. Of course you make a good point in that though their development is ''comparable'' to humans it is ''distinct'', so unless we have a episode where we're able to watch her trying to catch a ball, doing large amounts of handwriting and looking at triangles on a sheet of paper in comparison to large numbers of her peers diagnosing her is impossible. Still from a simple comparison to Scootaloo and Apple Bloom she is on the low end of the curve, and it doesn't appear to be due to raw intelligence.
*** A recent episode showed the
** Going by ''Sisterhooves Social'', Sweetie Belle doesn't seem to have below average physical abilities as much as she is surrounded by above average athletes. Additionally, Rarity is a serious perfectionist, which just draws Sweetie Belle's occasionally clumsiness into sharper focus.
Line 510:
* The whole thing could be sparked off by Sweetie wanting lessons from Twilight and/or Rarity, only to be disappointed that she's far from a perfect spellcaster. Hence the temptation of trying out a spell that's supposed to 'work every time'.
== Sweetie Belle's talent is for [[Ar
It's clear her talent involves singing, and as a unicorn she can use magic. Therefore her Cutie Mark is going to be a Installer Port.
Line 517:
== Sweetie Belle's cutie mark will be... ==
...a bell, symbolizing her singing voice.
== Cutie Mark Crusaders ==
Line 534:
== The Cutie Mark Crusaders will find their talents by giving up. ==
* The three of them, after an especially dangerous wacky scheme to get their marks, will finally give up. After splitting up to return to their homes, they'll each come across a seperate mopey blank flank- one of which is probably Pipsqueak. They'll try to help them find their talents, ending up crossing paths with each other without noticing (for transition's sake) and they'll gain their cutiemarks at the same time - magnifying glasses.
* Applebloom's will be pink and have an apple in it, Sweetie Belle's will be blue and with something edible like candy or a muffin, and Scootaloo's will be green with a butterfly.
** Hey…are you making a [[Powerpuff Girls|PPG]] [[Stealth Pun]]?
* She'll of course be rather annoyed at it before realizing how cool it is to be able to transform from a crawler to a flier. This also ties into the Fluttershy being her older sister theory. This will ALSO make them never stop being the Cutie Mark Crusadors- they'd just find OTHER ponies' talents instead of their own!
Line 548:
'''Apple Bloom:''' An exploding apple.
* Her friends won't abandon her after they get their cutie marks, but despite their help she'll still be a late bloomer. Although she will become well known about Ponyville as a craftspony and the go-to for repairs, her moment of realization will finally come when an attack by Diamond Dogs, buffalo, or another large group has to be repelled with stink bombs or smoke bombs that she makes herself. The experience will earn her the nickname ''Apple BOOM'', which she will like much more than Rainbow Dash likes hers.
** Alternatively, a stitch-work apple, after she discovers how good she is at making quilts (and then proceeds to go overboard by making a quilt that covers all of Ponyville)
** Or an Apple nailed to a plank of wood after she rebuilds the barn all by herself after the Crusaders managed to burn it to the ground by accident.
* Or, in a moment of Irony, she will be OVERJOYED when she gets a hammer on her flank. Perhaps with a minor name-change/nickname of Applewood.
Line 554:
== The Cutie Mark Crusaders will become ''literal'' crusaders. ==
That is to say, they'll get Templar crosses as their Cutie Marks and then depart to the Holy Land to convert all the infidels to the Faith of Celestia.
* Rather than templar crosses, Apple Bloom will have a red templar cross, Scootaloo will have a white Maltese cross reminiscent of the battle dress of the Knight Hospitaller, and Sweetie Belle will have a black cross like the Teutonic order.
** Consider the following: Apple Bloom has befriended Zecora. Now why did Zecora leave her homeland (Hoofrica? Maneagascar? Senegallop?) and settle in the Everfree Forest? Zecora's cutie mark is a stylized sun, because she is a worshiper of Princess Celestia (Celestite? Celestian?), but she fled her homeland because some sort of heresy has become dominant there, and Celestians are now persecuted. When Apple Bloom learns of Zecora's backstory, she'll be inspired to lead a crusade to protect oppressed Celestians.
Line 563:
== More Cutie Mark Crusader Cutie-mark Teasing, GO! ==
When helping to organise Twist's Cuteceneara, the Cutie Mark Crusaders wind up demonstrating an additional skill on top of their current ones, teasing further at their cutie marks:
* Applebloom gives baking a second shot, approaching it in the way she'd solve [[Team Fortress 2
* Scootaloo get the job of fetching party supplies and delivering invitations - we already knows she's perfect for the job with her mad scooter skills, but this task also relies on her memory.
* And Sweetie Belle, still worried about singing in public, is eased into the spotlight as she plays emcee for the cuteceneara. It helps that someone tells her beforehand that being sister to Rarity, a minor celebrony after the events of "Suited for Success", lends her a lot of credibility on the stage - which was intended to have a [[Magic Feather]] effect.
Line 602:
== The CMC have already found their Special Talent. ==
Their collective Special Talent is searching for their Special Talents!
The reason their cutie marks haven't shown up yet is, seriously, what would that even look like?
* An Ouroboros
Line 609:
== The CMC aren't as fussed about finding their special talents as it seems to the Mane Cast, they just get really fired up at the start of each new project. ==
Rather than persistent [[Aesop Amnesia]], the three realize that looking for their Cutie Marks means they can goof around trying all kinds of crazy things to see what they're good at; they seem so hellbent on fleshing out their talents because they're all energetic young fillies that get excited over each new thing they try. When one or all of them gets their cutie mark, they'll probably continue behaving exactly the same way because it was doing all those random fun activities together that they bonded over, not their blank flanks.
== Pipsqueak will become the fourth Cutie Mark Crusader. ==
Line 622:
== The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get a "falling out" episode or similar ==
It seems that every mane character has had a breakdown episode, so why not pass it on to the kids as well? It would make more sense that the Crusaders have some sort of mass falling out, since it would affect all three. Not really sure how this would come about, but would make for an interesting storyline.
* Maybe after one of them gains a cutie mark? Or there could be jealousy over one of the trio making a new friend, or even getting [[In

* Apple Bloom and Rarity: Apple Bloom proves more useful around the boutique than Sweetie Belle. See also the "Apple Bloom will work with Rarity" WMG above. Would likely include [[Call Back|Call Backs]] to "Sisterhooves Social".
* Scootaloo and Applejack: Scootaloo sees how she competes with Rainbow Dash and tries to kickstart a rivalry with her as well. Bonus points if this includes the little pegasus baiting her by calling her chicken.
Line 679:
** Scootaloo's not related to Rainbow Dash, she just idolizes her.

A Godparent is any relative that has entered in an agreement to adopt the children of a family member in the event the children become orphaned. In Cutie Mark Chronicles, even as children, Applejack and her brother are living with Smith, and Applebloom couldn't have been born yet.
It could be very possible that Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Applebloom are all from different parents, and may not even be related by blood. Fortunately, they are all [[Happily Adopted]] and do not consider blood relation making a bit of difference in who they are to each other.

== There will be a Trottingham branch of the Apples, with Bramley being one of them ==
We've established that Trottingham is in an area meant to be a Britain expy, and there are Apples everywhere, so combining the two makes sense. Bramley would be an ideal name, since it's a very British variety of apple (and several British towns). I imagine they would have the Lincolnshire/Yorkshire farmer accent (the closest British equivalent to Applejack's).

Zecora was intended to be sort of a second mentor to Twilight, but it didn't come to pass. Seeing as how she has been appearing more often in season 2, it's not unreasonable to assume that her role could expand. Her main role in the show is already to help the characters out with magical issues they know little about, and Twilight can learn a ton of things from Zecora that she can't learn anywhere else, not even from books.

*** Then what breed was the biological father?
**** Kinda squicky, but there might be two biological fathers. Two eggs were released by Mrs Cake's ovaries, she then slept with a Pegasus and a Unicorn in rapid succession(possibly at the same time). End result is each egg got fertilized by a different stallion's sperm.
* Pumpkin fits; she's a throwback to her dad's ancestor (and takes after her dad to begin with). It's Pound who's the dodgy one; he doesn't look much like either parent. Which suggests that any infidelity that happened was likely (but not necessarily) on the part of Cup's ''mother''.
** Or he takes after one or more of his grandparents. Genetics isn't just "take looks from both parents and mix'n'match."

Well, first off she didn't know it was his birthday(Or did she?), but was able to pull a present out of her grocery bag! Why on earth would a pony have a hat(A hat that fits a baby dragon, mind you) in her grocery bag? Should it come as a surprise to any of you that her present was what sent Spike into his greedy, destructive growth-spurt?
* ''Family Appreciation Day'': Cheerilee telling Apple Bloom that it's her turn to bring in a family member on the day Big Mac and Applejack will be harvesting the Zap Apples. Might seem like a coincidence but if you look at her list, Apple Bloom is at the top of the list while Diamond Tiara, the last filly to go, is at the bottom of the list. Either Cheerilee doesn't follow her lists from top to bottom or she did this on purpose.

Maybe a big brother or sister who was exceptionally good with magic. She could have probably been very close to them, and maybe something happened like they died in an accident, or the more kid friendly version of them just disappearing one day. She probably gained her 'better than everyone' attitude because most of the spells she was taught were probably from that family member, and thus doesn't want to ruin their name by letting them be outdone.

== Trixie has two older sisters, named Dixie and Pixie. ==
Trixie's parents were a pegasus and an earth pony; likewise, the eldest sister, Dixie, is an earth pony, while the middle sister, Pixie, is a pegasus. However, at least one parent was part unicorn, a trait that manifested in Trixie, much like Pound and Pumpkin cake were born of earth ponies.
Growing up was hard for Trixie; she was raised in a low class area (indeed, Dixie has a confederate flag cutie mark, and embodies the worst redneck traits), and her sisters mistreated her for being the odd pony out. Dixie was an outright bully, albeit slow-witted; Pixie was more clever and malicious, but fortunately had too short of an attention span to make the torment unbearable. It was being picked on like this that gave Trixie the cruel streak and the inferiority complex she now has, compelling her to one-up other ponies to prove her worth. When her powers developed, she used them to humble her sisters, before leaving home with the goal of becoming a famous magician. Once she was rich and successful, she could hold it over her siblings' heads forever. However, her misadventure in Poneyville was a harsh setback.
A future epsiode will have a defeated Trixie returning to the family home, where the older sisters will be introduced. News of her humiliation will have traveled ahead of her, and her sisters will begin mocking her for it. When Trixie challenges them to do better, they'll travel to Poneyville to antagonize the Mane 6; Trixie will have provided them with information regarding their abilities, using them as pawns in her plan for revenge. At first, their underhanded tactics will give them an edge, but they'll be defeated when Twilight notices their constant infighting, and tricks them with a [[Let's You and Him Fight|ler's you and her fight]] ploy. While they're busy with each other, the Mane 6 will easily boot them out of town. The three will leave Poneyville, squabbling all the while.<ref>Should any writers of fanfic wish to use this premise, altered as you see fit, you have my blessing; I really don't have the time to carry this one out.</ref>

== Trixie's suffering from a mild variant of Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome caused by a partial rejection of her talent. ==
Trixie's talent is item crafting. Her cutie mark is a wand. She travels in a nifty stage coach. Her fireworks are impressive. Her hat and cape practically make her character. And her Ursa story she's using a wand. However, Trixie has ambitions of being the greatest unicorn mage ever under her own power, something she can't do if she relies on focus items. So while she uses her items in the show, she has to beat any heckler under her own power to prove this to herself. The reason is is that she wants to be the Equestrian equivalent of [[James Bond]], the mare on the field saving the day, rather than Q, the pony in the background who makes stuff for the cooler ponies.
* Alternatively, her special talent ''is'' the use of magic, but '''not''' for practical purposes. Rather, it's magic for the sake of showmanship (her wand cutie mark is rather dramatic and flashy). The fireworks and such aren't gadgets she created; they come from her spells.

== The Elements of Harmony sealed away Discord for good ==
When Celestia and Luna originally used the Elements, it wasn't strong enough to seal him for good. His grandiose pose when we first saw him in stone suggests that he already knew that it would only be a matter of time before he returns to Equestria and wreak havoc. This is why he underestimated the mane six when they came together again with the Elements. He thought it would be just like last time and that he would just be taking another short break. However, when they fired the Rainbow of Light, he realized too late that this one would actually seal him away for good, thus when he returned to stone his pose and expression this time was that of [[Oh Crap|pure shock]].
* Or, the first time, he had no idea what the elements were or that they could hurt him, so he had no reason to fear. The second time, he knew what he was in for.
** Plus, it's possible that Celestian and Luna only had five of the elements instead of all six.

== Discord is an avatar of [[Cthulhu Mythos|Nyarlathotep]]. ==
As a messenger of [[Cthulhu Mythos|Azathoth]], his ultimate goal is to bring Chaos to the universe. After taking out Humanity at some point, his attentions are now focused on ponies. Fortunately for them, the Elements of Harmony are able to shut him out so long as they are active.
== Discord is incapable of accomplishing his ultimate goal, since his plan is unsound. ==
Alright, let's say that Discord manages to defeat, brainwash, and/or kill anyone who could be a threat to his plan. He then proceeds to create a world of perfect chaos, where every single thing is chaotic, disharmonized, and generally makes no sense. But in a world where nothing makes sense, everything makes sense. [[Logic Bomb|By creating a world of perfect disharmony, Discord will have created a world of perfect harmony.]] Discord has never had this pointed out to him, or gotten far enough in his plan to realize this on his own.
OK, I stole this idea from [[8-Bit Theater
* So if [[The Incredibles|everything is chaos... nothing will be?]]
** [[Atop the Fourth Wall
* In a world where nothing makes sense, there still isn't anything that makes sense. Perfect disharmony means no harmony, even on accident. Knowing that a situation will be unpredictable just means that you know that you won't be able to predict what will happen. If Discord imposed complete, total control over the world, it might become orderly to him, but he never tried for that level of control. Besides, his actions, especially his response to being defeated, showed that he wasn't trying to make the world truly chaotic, he was just using that as an excuse and theme for being a jerk to people.
Line 1,163:

That said, the writers have created an amazing character and it would be a shame to let him go after just two episodes. He may escape once again, but perhaps tone down the craziness a little, if only to avoid being imprisoned in stone again.

== Discord was created/magically elevated to combat an entity embodying Order. ==
Ancient Equestria was once ruled by a tyrannical figure, whose rigid laws imposed divisions and hierarchy among ponies. His extreme, draconian rule led to the unicorns/alicorns powering/making Discord to counteract it. The Draconequus' chaotic abilities eventually drove the entity away, freeing the populace, but without any real opposition Discord's chaotic tendencies soon took over and he began to subject all of Equestria to his cruel whims. The Elements of Harmony were thus created by Celestia and Luna not only to defeat Discord, but also to embody a unifying force that was neither order nor chaos.

== Discord's defeat by Celestia ==
Equestria is apparently older than both Celestia and Luna, and before then the unicorns controlled the heavens. Equestria is still hyper ordered back then, too ordered for ponies to live without cooperating, so if Discord is the spirit of natural chaos it means he was sealed away even before the founding of Equestria. Discord must have come from somewhere, and sense he is so powerful and immortal it makes more sense for him to be as old as time itself than being created sometime after the founding of Equestria.

== Discord turns to stone if there's no Disharmony for him to feed on. ==
He was freed thanks to Disharmony happening right in front of him and got progressively stronger as things progressed, or at least seemed to. He draws his power from Disharmony and blasting him with the Elements of Harmony is blasting him with the antithesis of his own power, draining it all from him.
** Optional WMG: If he returns, he won't be beaten with the Elements, but instead by the mane cast managing to starve him of Disharmony somehow.
== Discord is a corrupted Star Swirl the Bearded ==
Similar to the above genetic engineering WMG, to further test the limits of magic, Star Swirl dabbled in experiments outside of public view. His last experiment was to turn himself into the perfect being, giving him the magic, strength, and speed of some of the best animals in Equestria while still not completely changing his physical appearance (Summoning his wings when he wanted to fly, for example). Unfortunately, the experiment went out of control and turned him into the draconequus we all know and love. Upon his transformation, Star Swirl believed that he can further his studies despite his form to test the limits of the world, but felt that the harmony between ponies was getting in his way, so he sought to inject chaos into the world. Over time, his mind deteriorated and, in the end, lost sight of his original goal, becoming more focused on chaos and disharmony, eventually adopting the name Discord. However, because he kept his more unethical experiments to himself, everypony assumed he had died when Discord appeared and because his publicly distributed studies helped further develop unicorn magic, his name tends to be more fondly remembered.
== Discord never was an actual "spirit of chaos" to begin with. ==
He was simply lying about that all along to make himself sound that much more impressive and important. He's really just a super-powerful [[Jerkass]] of unknown origin who has no actual essential function in the setting; the whole "chaos" thing is at least in part merely an act to mess with the usually order-loving ponies' minds.
Discord's species may have a very different language of that the ponies. If ponies represent Western Europeans, then Discord's race may represent Asians as Discord looks very much like an Eastern Dragon. Perhaps in Discord's kind language they call themselves longs (chinese word for Dragon)
