• Apple Bloom is the oldest and tallest of the CMC
• She is a fullblood draft horse, but her hooves aren't really that hairy
• She is extremely strong from working on the farm and knows kung fu
• Her earth pony magic is tied in with alchemy and plants, which is why she can grasp it so easily
• She does have some light freckles, they're just hard to see
• She is probably straight- she has admired another mares beauty before, but nothing beyond that

• Starlight is an Andalusian, and is a short one at that, being a couple of inches taller than Rainbow Dash. She is the third shortest of the Mane 7
• If Twilight had not been the element of Magic, the Elements of Harmony would of have either chosen Starlight or Sunset. This is why Starlight is so powerful, there was a chance she could be an element, and there still is a chance

Many words have already been spoken and written about this: doorknobs, quills, and whatever things that are problematic to use if you have to operate them with hooves. Some say those are remnants of a human civilization, and that definitely could make Lyra happy. But how do ponies manage to deal with all that stuff?

Magic!

Okay, ponies have magic, but not every pony, isn't it so? Nope!

• Even before becoming an alicorn, Twilight was the tallest and lankiest of the mane six.

• She hails from the draft horse species.
• She is one of the most powerful unicorns ever.
• She is a bona-fide genius.
• She had OCD.
• She had a Canterlotian accent (it's basically an English accent) but she hides it most the time.

So. Changelings are weird, right? They're kinda like bugs, but also like ponies, but they also eat love, and basically we don't actually know that much about them. Lots of different authors have interpreted them differently; mindless drones, evil minions, starving desperadoes, and more. The "changedlings" have only exacerbated the problem. So here is my take on the changelings, based on a very loose grasp of entomology and various sci-fi tropes.

One of the people reading Fólkvangr asked about the griffon races. That information is bound to be incomplete because of the nature of the story, so I made a bit of a lore dump for the people reading Fólkvangr that don’t want to bother with Piece of Parchment, and it also compliments some of the information in that story too.

Cloudsdale is one of the main component states of Homestria, guarding much of its western border. Stretching approximately 130 kilometers north-south from the northern Cloudsdale Range to the White-tail Woods and approximately 210 kilometers east-west from the Spear Gate to Storm's Deep, this state is a study in contrasts, between north and south, east and west, mountain and valley, clear and storm, Hurricane and Pansy, war and peace.

Okay then. There seems to be a headcanon questionnaire going around created by the user bookplayer. So, yeah. That's a thing.

I, suppose I can throw in my own two cents, although be forewarned: I don't have a firm answer for every question on this list. That's because, well, I haven't actually given much of these questions much thought. But, I'll try my best. Here we go!

... and pretty much everything except for wings. Wonder how she feels about that.

Thank to G5, earth ponies having earth-based magic is now an acceptable canon. So here my headcanon on how the crystal ponies work.

I've been following a thread in a group here on FimFiction where people, one individual in particular though, are talking about how Celestia is grossly underused in the show, and it's just slowly but surely built up a little bit of rage in my head. See, here's the thing that gets me - these guys claim to love Celestia so much, but they alk about how ever since season 1 or 2, basically form the get-go if you read deeply into what these guys are talking about, the show has been crapping on

Changelings are a Eusocial Species, meaning they are a cooperative species with a brood care within a composite nest is supplied by a worker caste that is more or less sterile and lives long enough to assist the previous generations.

I just thought of something and it makes too much sense.

Starswirl the Bearded made a whole bunch of spells in his lifetime, and it's said he didn't really value friendship. And given that one of his spells was eventually able to be modified to travel back in time for a longer period...

In the season four finale, six objects became keys to the seed-chest of the Tree of Harmony, which yielded the Rainbow of Light and defeated Lord Tirek. He had gained his powers by stealing the inherent magics of the ponies of Equestria, which included their Cutie Marks.

So there are plenty of headcanons out there on the Internet trying to sort the ponies into Hogwarts houses. It's all very interesting. Some people never cease to amaze (I just realized that Rarity is winking in this emoticon so there is a wink face emoticon after all, wow I am such a dumba**).

So, I got a comment on one of my stories the other day that really made think. Someone asked something seemingly simple: "How old is Spike in this story?"

• She has some abandonment issues
• She is arguably the fastest of the Mane Six, at least on ground
• She, strangely enough, doesn't have any Earth Pony Magic

People like to speculate on where in the distant past G1 occurs. That is to say, there's got to be a time long before Twilight and long before Equestria, when ponies and humans walked together, and witches were motivated merely by who could be the most evil. Well, here's my take on the whole prehistoric G1 theory.

The Moochick is an interesting fellow.

• Strangely enough, she has very strong Earth Pony magic, which is tied in with animals and uses it to communicate with animals
