    Thought for the day

    Fanon never dies. It just becomes AU.

    Equestria Girls=Bioshock Infinite

    In lieu of facts, we must speculate, and speculation is one of the things this fandom does best. That's not to say it's good, since it leads to all sorts of raised expectations, ruined headcanons and so on and so forth. With that in mind though, let me explain why Equestria Girls is working on Bioshock Infinite logic.

    Whoda thought...?

    When they first saw the concept of bronydom, who had as their first thought 'yep, that sounds like the kind of thing I would get involved with' and then proceed to get involved with it? I don't know if that would be a reasonable line of thought.

    Twialicorn?

    We can't be having with that. We already figured all this out about eight times over. We already ran the simulations (so to speak).
    It is odd how many people called it, though. I mean, I didn't give it a thought until season 3, but apparently it was a thing long before. Which is, y'know, odd.

    Instructions in case of emergency

    The large storm known as Old Thunderhead is moving south. It is the duty of every Equestrian citizen to be fully prepared for his arrival. Already, Emergency Weather Divisions are assembling to deal with this imminent threat, and all preparations are being made by Her Majesty and her government to ensure damage is minimised. You can assist these preparations in the following ways:

Equestria Girls=Bioshock Infinite · 1:53pm May 12th, 2013

In lieu of facts, we must speculate, and speculation is one of the things this fandom does best. That's not to say it's good, since it leads to all sorts of raised expectations, ruined headcanons and so on and so forth. With that in mind though, let me explain why Equestria Girls is working on Bioshock Infinite logic.

So here's how it's gonna go down. Twilight is pursuing someone into an alternate world. Now, passing through into an alternate world in Bioshock Infinite logic requires manipulation of time and space ("That would be a blessing, wouldn't it?"), which Twilight undoubtedly can do. She's explicitly changed history, gone back in time and can change objects' appearances. So she's the one opening the tears and going through.

Now, here's the important thing. She remembers being a pony and all that malarkey, but her friends in universe B, or the "Humaniverse", don't. Why?

Because, put simply, Twilight doesn't exist in universe B. No one knows who she is, meaning she has to make friends with her old friends anew. Her friends meanwhile all slip into the versions of themselves in universe B, accept their memories and manufacture new ones to iron out inconsistencies, but since Twilight doesn't have a pair of shoes to slip into, she makes her own. Booker DeWitt has no trouble slipping into universes where he's already dead, remember.

What does all this mean for Equestria Girls? Well, nothing, for now. Until we see it, we won't know for sure what logic it's operating on, but all the same, I'll hope for nosebleeds, incongruities, static hazes, somepony not rowing, and half a dozen fabulously broken character builds.
