Scootaloo has a home! · 7:12pm Dec 14th, 2013
It looks like a small home, and it's on the ground.
The only thing missing from the most recent episode is a glimpse of a horde of little brothers.

Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

I was amused by the way DHX managed to show us Scoot's home without showing any of her family.
Given her personality, you'd think she'd have a horde of older brothers.
Or it could be an orphanage room...ya never know

True, still no proof that she isn't an orphan but I think it shows that her home life isn't the hellhole that the fandom at times wants to embrace.
1606222 Why does everyone want her to be an orphan
1606252
Yeah they definitely jossed "homeless Scootaloo". If she's an orphan, she either lives in a nice orphanage or foster home.
1606274
Indeed, no Dickensian nightmare
1606401
No loss as far as I'm concerned.
Aside from not being in the spirit of the show, anyone who really believes Scootaloo could hide something like that for a year has never lived in a small town.
1606411
Or had a teacher like Cheerilee... or be in a school system at all. Scoot's address would be in her file, Cheerilee would know
1606445
Exactly. If even if Scoots could fake the paperwork somehow, Cheerilee pays attention to her students. She'd know something was up.
1606482
Hell her friends would see something is up
Maybe a foster home..? Her room kind of looks..plain? There's not much going on...In AB and SB's room, we see lots of things around. It just seems off to me her room doesn't fit Scootaloo. Seriously, she's bland in terms of room.
Plus, there are a lack of pitcures that show family. Even her friends were more decorative. Maybe that's just me.
1606519
Which was always the fly in that particular ointment. Even if she could hide in a small town like Ponyville, even if she could fool Cheerilee, how could she keep it a secret from her friends? Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle aren't dumb; they'd notice if Scootaloo was always dirty, hungry, and otherwise neglected.
1606530
So? I don't have pictures of my family in my room, and my room isn't all that well decorated
1606762
Also AJ would notice apples being missing if Scoots was in the clubhouse
1606779 Maybe I was thinking of perhaps.....that she would have tons more due to her..uh..obsession?
1606530
Sure it could be. But the "orphan Scootaloo" meme was never just about her parents being dead. After all Apple Bloom is already (unofficially) that kind of orphan. Folks wantred Scoots to be homeless and now she's not.
1606795
So you want her to act like the stereotypical fangirl?
1606174
She does kinda of give off that vibe, doesn't she?
1606819 No way, it just never seemed to fit her crazed obsession shown even in Sleepless in Ponyville. You would figure she'd have slightly more than just a single poster of Rainbow Dash
A home with no parents. So totally inherited her parents fortune when they died. She's pretty efficient and resourceful. Clearly such a small house can only house one filly.
Also, shame on Rainbow Dash not signing that poster.
1606131
Well they can't reveal everything on one go...
1607277
Oh I know. If you write for a long running series it's best to specify as little as you can get away with - that way you don't close off story options. I just found it amusing the way they skated around Scoot's family.
1608020 One thing I noticed is that Sweetie Belle and Apple Bloom weren't acting shocked in any way to be at Scootaloo's house, so I'd take that to mean they have been there before, off camera.
1608140
Agreed. It was much the same when we saw Sweetie's house last season.
Which makes sense, these characters have lives even when the camera isn't watching.
I never believed Scootaloo was homeless. I mean that's just silly.
That was totally the Ponyville orphanage.
Yeah, Scootaloo having a home was a big revelation for canon. But something else in the episode surprised me just as much: the song “Hearts Strong as Horses”. There are horses in Equestria?! Why have we never seen one? Are they intelligent? Are they only mythical?
1616802 I think the common belief is the Saddle Arabians are horses.
1616839
Oh. Looking at the Saddle Arabians again, they do look like horses. Never mind.
