Headcannon Time!

Here are a few headcanons/theories I have:

• The reason Big Mac possed as Apple Bloom's cousin in "Brotherhooves Social" was not only because he felt like he never got to hang out with her like in canon, but because he still felt a bit bad about his outburst in "Ponyville Confidential".
• The CMC's article on Twilight was influenced by Twilight's actions towards them in "Lesson Zero" (ironically, when they came to her with a problem, as she had wanted in said episode, she turned them down).
• The CMC also got mild revenge on Spike in "Just For Sidekicks" for "Ponyville Confidential" due to him shooing them away.
• Human Flash Sentry is Asian-American like his voice actor. He also trains in self-defense with four other boys, and once wore a ninja costume for the human world equivalent of Nightmare Night/Halloween.
• Human Flash is friends with Derpy, Bon Bon, and Lyra. The latter two had crushes on him in middle school but discovered they had feelings for each other. He also knows Vinyl Scratch and Octavia due to similar interests in music.
• Apple Bloom's nightmare in "Doom and Gloom", specifically the one where she is berated by her family members for not having an apple cutie mark was influenced by the events of "Ponyville Confidential".
