Not our Earth

Hiya, lovely peeps!

Enough about my theories. Time for something new. Complaints.

I need to preface this by saying that I prefer Equestria Girls over the actual show. Therefore, I read more about humans than ponies. And one of the things that bother me so much about the spin-off is when writers include elements of real-life into the story. I know this is your story, so you do you, but this is my blog and I’m in a ‘complain mood.’

Real-life locations, languages, movies and even people are mentioned in a lot of fanfics surrounding EqG. I hate it. Why, you may ask? ‘Cause it doesn’t make any freakin’ sense!

Allow me to elaborate. Equestria Girls takes place in its own universe, with its own rules. It’s not our Earth. Since it’s not our Earth, there can’t be elements of our Earth in EqG.

It’s a fantasy land, not reality-land.

EqG earth Is based on Equestria's earth, which is based on our earth but with "ponyfied" names.
So it makes sense EqG would remove the pony part

O... okay. So, does it bother you when real-life elements are placed in EqG?

Going by your specific list:

Real-life locations: As I said, Equestria has Manehattan, which in EqG verse would be just Manhattan, so locations can be the same as earth.

Languages: this one really bothers me in the canon because the writing looks more like censored hieroglyphs, so I don't know what actual language they speak. Equestria has accents of earth's nationalities so I guess those nationalities can be canon in EqG.

Movies and people: Here I would draw the line. It's one thing to reference it with a pony name, (Like Hoofefeller or Maneopoly Colt), but in the actual earth it would stop being a parody, you would have the actual guy, or the actual movie.

In addition, it would bother me if one puts our history in EqG, since the world is clearly a different version of earth. Think of it like, the map of the earth is the same, with some added locations from Equestria, but the history and characters are all different.

Hope I'm clear.

Just in case; I'm not angry, just giving my view of the subject.

Iʼm going to talk about your points in order.

• I absolutely adore it when an author ʼponyfiesʼ our Earthʼs locations. It makes me weirdly happy.
• Yeah, the language thing is bizzare. Here is the only time I saw actual writing:

• It doesnʼt make sense to reference a franchise inside another franchise. So, yeah, I agree with you.
• I donʼt think ʼfriend fantasy landʼ would have any sort of war with bloodshed, so our history isnʼt compatible with their universe.

Just in case; Iʼm not angry, just giving my view of the subject.

Donʼt worry, dear. I wouldnʼt have created the blog if I didnʼt want opinions. I actually rarely have comments to my blogs, so thank you for taking the time to respond.
