“We need to encourage him to take a nap somewhere else. Princess Celestia has given us this mission, and we must not fail. If we do, Equestria will be covered in smoke for the next one hundred years.”
They don’t specifically say that he’ll be sleeping for 100 years, but it doesn’t say that it won’t happen either. It’s ambiguous.
Well Celestia could have simply found that egg abandoned or lost or whatever, and then realized it was ideal for a magic test due to being magic resistant or something like that.
And maybe dragon eggs are that rare? If we assume they really don’t lay eggs very frequently, and that even then its not that common, then it doesn’t really change much. The adult dragons we’ve seen could’ve all been tens of thousands of years old, and Garble & the other teens just being from later generations.
Well, if it really was “just a nap” and really did last “100 years”, then dragons would have a life span in the tens of thousands of years, possibly hundreds of thousands of years. Either dragon eggs are ridiculously rare (then why would Celestia use it for an entrance exam?) or dragons are suffering from extreme overpopulation.
I can buy dragons having one 100-year sleep during their 1000-year life…but they called it a nap. I dunno, the way it was presented it seemed as if it was truly just a nap, and that it would’ve lasted 100 years if they didn’t stop him. But it can be either way I guess.
Im curious though, why do you hope it was an exageration?
And humans spend about 1/3 of their lives sleeping, just not all at once. Maybe dragons are the opposite?
Might have been an exaggeration. At least, I hope it was.
I honestly doubt they use up 1/10 of their lives everytime they stop for a nap.
I’ve already said that the “never-extinguishing fire” is a stupid idea.
Hungry and desperate enough for learning, because the whole library will be a fire cave that never goes out, knowledge inscribed on fireproof paper that is always on fire…

Which is why I have a personal headcanon that Spike will build Equestria’s version of the Great Library of Alexandria or the Library of Wan Shi Tong, a big-fucking-huge building/cave/whatever of all the world’s knowledge, inscribed on fire-proof paper, free for any who are hungry for learning.
I agree with the lifespan thing, though.
