Starpan FTW.

@Starswirl  
Prrrfhahahaha! Okay, I think we’ve gone as far as the safe tag allows here. Hilarious, though.

@toonbat  
Well, he does have a nice beard. Very silky. You can run your hoof through it an everything.
 
N-not that I ever would. That’s just blatantly untrue! That’s as ridiculous as the notion that “beard” as a term for somepony you spend time with in order to distract from your sexual orientation came up because of us!
 
Completely fabricated!

@Starswirl  
What did you talk about? Beards?
 
“Mine’s bigger!”  
“Well, mine’s… heavier!”

@toonbat  
What?! No! No, he.. he just knew so much of metamagical theory.
 
We talked. That’s all. We certainly didn’t kiss or anything. Kiss, that’s funny! Ha ha, right? Right?

@toonbat  
Imma ship these two and nobody can stop me

Starswirl likes what he sees.

@Dr_Osaka  
I’m kinda hoping for Scorpan now.

We better see Star Swirl the Bearded next season

@Ridley Wolf
 
details…

Let the shipping begin!

@SquiggyBomb  
I could see Scorpan, occasionally sharing a drink or two with Star Swirl and the Princesses.

Imagine Starswirl and Scorpan just buddying around.

Pretty accurate to G1, even down to the belt.  

Starswirl!

@cheezedoodle  
That has hooves and bird wings.  
Scorpan had clawed feet and bat wings.

@PonyPon  
ahh well whatever the care their mom got around.

To me, Scorpan always came off as more of a gargoyle than anything.

So tireks brother is a manticore.

Hey! That’s what I said!

@Background Pony #A89A  
the comics show he did have friends, like celestia, but he likely did not understand friendship entirely. likely he was mostly caught up in his studies too.

@Ridley Wolf
 
I dunno… something about cats and tubes?

I’m sure Star Swirl had acquaintances and allies, but he was probably so absorbed with his studies that he never truly embraced the concept of friendship. Basically, he’s what Twilight Sparkle could have become if she never went to Ponyville.
