** The land of Equestria is idyllic and innocent, right? Sure, unless you count Applejack's unhealthy obsession with work, Rainbow Dash's performance anxiety, Fluttershy's (albeit generally well-managed) [[BewareTheNiceOnes anger issues]], and Rarity's manipulative tendencies. And don't even get started on Pinkie Pie, who has a phobia of rejection and bipolar disorder so severe it could arguably turn into dissociative identity disorder if she [[AxCrazy snapped harder than she already has]].
*** Pinkie Pie having Dissociative Identity Disorder might have already happened, depending on if you view her depressed side [[FanNickname "Pinkamena"]] as a seperate personality or not.
**** That's not how DID works. Something very bad would have to happen to her, enough that she would want it repressed and for a separate personality to form (or for Pinkamena to take over). She remembered what happened while she was Pinkamena, which does not happen with DID. The fact that she slipped into what could be argued to be deep depression just because her friends kept a secret from her, however...
* Twilight wasn't joking: all the ponies in that town really ''are'' crazy, including Twilight herself.
** Pinkie Pie's also a bit of a fridge TearJerker: It's likely that she doesn't constantly throw parties just because she likes them. It's because she knows everyone ''else'' likes them, and it's the only way she knows to be sociable on a normal level. The GenkiGirl randomness that she's known for is too much for most folks, who've probably actively avoided her for it in the past. But if she throws a party, suddenly everyone likes her, and she clings to that. So it's parties forever, and nothing else. Because if she stops, she stops being "That eccentric girl who throws awesome parties all the time" and reverts to "That annoying girl who talks too quickly about things that don't make sense." And then she's all alone. Again.
** In the season 2 episode "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E3LessonZero Lesson Zero]]", Twilight's [[SanitySlippage behavior]] in the episode becomes all the more horrifying given the fact that the previous episode had them dealing with Discord. Maybe his MoreThanMindControl of the ponies had some lasting effects...
** There are characters in Creator/HPLovecraft stories with more mental stability than the Mane 6. In particular, the common trigger seems to be a fear of not being appreciated. This puts Nightmare Moon in a new light. SanitySlippage is the rule rather than the exception, and even a goddess isn't immune. What's to stop something like the Nightmare Moon disaster from happening again?
** One of the implications of the Season 3 finale is that without Pinkie to keep them happy, the townspeople of Ponyville would be angry [[{{Jerkass}} Jerkasses]] perpetually at each others throats.

* How come the mane six suck so much at what they don't normally do? I mean with applejack it's A BIT understandable, even though she had all the time to learn at least the basics of dressmaking, but how come all the animals seem to hate rainbow dash and want to kill her? Besides, if in this alternate reality they received their cutie mark on the same day as the normal one, that would mean they had been trying to get better at what they're "supposed" to do. I know Fluttershy is shy, but it's been shown she can get over it, and entertaining people was what she saw as her destiny! How is it even possible that after presumably years of being ponyville's weather pony, Rarity still thinks she should care more about what the clouds look like than about what is falling on the ground?! There are many pegasi who know this stuff and I don't think they would let an UNICORN mess up the weather like hell without so much as a word of advice. I mean, not just anypony becomes the weather pony, right? And Pinkie Pie! I don't think it's actually been shown that she was ridiculously incompetent, but driving sweet apple acres out of business...with previous farming experience(granted, rock farming)...and the Apples to help her(yeah, I don't think she owned the farm, it'd be more likely she was employed by the Apples, since Applejack was into dressmaking.
*In this alternate universe, think about the repercussions of the mane cast's problems on the cutie mark crusaders' psyche!
