Crazy Headcanons

@Brass Beau  
Haha So Snips is pretty much Snails manger in the future (that’s another head canon I had) and Snails is cool with it because Snips is his best friend.

Equestria and the planet where it is located are obviously, geologically speaking, enormously different from Earth, despite surface similarities. For example, the fact that fist-sized gems made of materials that would be precious in our world abound and are at least as common as coal or iron ore. They are even already cut and faceted when pulled out of the ground, unlike our world’s gems.
 
One of the differences is that the planet and solar system are magical creations, less than ten thousand years old. The planet is vastly more geologically active than our world (note the abundant volcanoes) and the higher concentrations of radioactive isotopes in its core mean helium is much more common. Ponies make much more use of it than humans do for lighter-than-air transport, in forms ranging from airships to small balloons.
 

Alicorns are the progenitor race that all other breeds of equines descend from. While rare, it is possible for an alicorn to be naturally born. Only three recorded cases have occurred in the past 3000 years.

Blimps are very fun and very common in later industrial life, and as such safety regulations are much stricter and pegasus fly-bys are common.

@Communist Starlight  
Given that we didn’t see any of them before the movie, it appears that Equestria’s blimp technology was largely reverse-engineered from the Storm King’s war toys. Though with what we saw in “Once Upon a Zeppelin”, the ponies didn’t waste any time adding their own style (just as we saw a crystal-themed train soon after the Crystal Empire came back).

@Background Pony #04F7  

 
And ponies coexist with large serpentine lizard creatures. Ken Ham was right!
 
 
@Brass Beau  
We know Flurry Heart was born an alicorn, but who are the other two cases? Celestia and Luna claimed Flurry was the only instance, tacitly admitting that neither of them were born alicorns.

@DoctorWTF  
Given that the already had hot air balloons, trains and ships, it’s likely whatever innovation the Storm King’s fleet provided was in compact engine design and combustible fuel.
 
@Twiface  
I’ll leave that up to interpretation.

@DoctorWTF
 
We actually saw them way back in Sweet and Elite.
 

Zephyr breeze is like Finn from adventure time when it comes to his hair if he undoes his man bun he would have a really long flowing hair.

@Sadrai  
He does his hair up like that because he has flowing locks that would make Celestia jealous.

@Sadrai
 
@Brass Beau  
“does it have to be princess hair?”  
“No, just long and pretty hair.”

@Communist Starlight  
I immediately imagined Zephyr Breeze trying to shave Fluttershy or Rainbow Dash.

@Brass Beau  
Who

@Brass Beau  
Now I need a someone to draw Zephyr un doing his man bun to unleash his long hair.

@Sadrai  
It must be in adventure time style

@Communist Starlight  
Jake the Dog may be played by either Angel Bunny or Discord.

@Mildgyth  

 
Oh yeah, I forgot about that episode.
 
There was also a simple airship in “Apple Family Reunion”, though probably way less advanced than the Storm King’s hardware.

@DoctorWTF  

 
He just got the planet wrong. Several reporters have asked Celestia whether she is YHWH but she merely smirks and tells them to ask the Fausticorn.

My Little Pony Tales: The burgers are hayburgers. Also, Bon Bon’s mother has a griffon friend; that’s why she knows how to make frog legs.

Eqg Rarity when she was a kid was a juvenile delinquent who lived in the slums of Fillydelphia but then she encountered the kindness of someone, decided to go on a train to Canterlot to make her dreams come true, was adopted by Hondo Flanks’ family and swore to be a true lady in spite of her lowly origins.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Did she work as a pickpocket for a cruel man with a hockney accent?

@Brass Beau  
Yep. She did. She has a knack for stealing. Especially high class dresses. And lived in an orphanage.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer  
Sometime after Hondo and Cookie took Rarity in, she met a very sweet and handsome stallion that ended up leaving her with one thing, Sweetie Belle.

@Brass Beau  
…I think you two are crossing worlds.
