History WMG / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSecondaryCharacters

* Who said she is black as a human? I mean, it's obvious with her being from [[FantasyCounterpartCulture african-inspired culture]], [[NationalAnimalStereotypes and her being a zebra]], that she is supposed to black-coded, but you can also have Applejack (which for Anglosphere/North American viewers is representing [[DeepSouth American South]], and is most likely to be drawn as white in her humanizations) to be African American instead of being white american. There's the reason why the fan-artits feel so iffy when they draw humanized animal characters, which the main problem being to which human race the characters belong (example: [[WesternAnimation/CatsDontDance Sawyer]] who despite being a white cat, could be humanized as African American due to her [[Creator/JasmineGuy English voice actress]] being black, or [[WesternAnimation/TheLionGuard Kion]] who despite being a lion, [[NationalAnimalStereotypes a african animal and technically being black as a human]], has a few fanarts that portray his human version as white).

Well, she's a sort of ParentalSubstitute Substitute to Twilight in lieu of Celestia, she's an excellent teacher and her cutie mark looks kinda like tribal symbol, suggesting that her talent relates to her tribe. She was destined to be the leader but some people thought the title should be passed hereditarily and Zecora buggered off to live alone in Everfree forest so there won't be a civil war between her supporters and the supporters of the other leader. ([[SuspiciouslySpecificDenial I most certainly did not]] borrow this idea from WebComic/{{Goblins}})

* Maybe the sweets talent implies she's BonBon's younger sister? She does have the same coat colour as BonBon.

** So Scootaloo may become a 'stuntpony' if that's her calling…

[[WMG:Zecora lives in the everfree forest since it is close to her actual homeland.]]

[[WMG:Cheese's weakness as a party pony is his ComplexityAddiction]]
He wasn't joking when he said his parties were ALL off the hook. Whether with a fruit punch lake, a hippopotamus, a giant cheese wheel or an [[TankGoodness enormous party tank]], Cheese Sandwich goes ''big…'' but that's not always what you want. Sometimes, you want a party to just be fun in a simple way or a fairly laid-back get together with friends and not an all-night, city-wide polka disco-fest that you can see from three towns over. This is the aspect of party ponyhood in which Pinkie outshines Cheese and the way they complement each other in collaboration- Cheese may be more extravagant, but Pinkie is ''adaptable''. (You might call Cheese a bit of a [[PuN one-trick pony.]]

* Ms. SuperOCD, looking after babies, who are inherently chaotic? This I want to see!

* ''Lesson Zero'': Twilight always had SuperOCD. No doubt about that. But it seemed like her typical SuperOCD for the first few minutes. However, after Spike goes over the fact that they returned Cheerilee's blackboard to her, Twilight's SuperOCD is turned up to eleven in the cupcake scene at Sugarcube Corner and just escalates from there.

** Bonus points if afterwards, a rather freaked out Discord says, in complete seriousness, "That guy has officially [[UpToEleven topped]] the list of individuals who absolutely '''''terrify''''' me." And Celestia and Luna likewise reply, "Ditto."

[[WMG: Apple Bloom is adopted.]]

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's cutie mark WON'T be apple-related.]]

* [[spoiler: Jossed. An apple does appear as part of Apple Bloom's Cutie Mark.]]

[[WMG: Apple Bloom ''was'' affected by the poison joke.]]

[[WMG:Apple Bloom’s mother is really Applejack.]]
The Apple parents never seem to be around. In "Bridle Gossip", Applejack tells Apple Bloom she'll tell Big Macintosh on her, conforming that Big Macintosh is the highest authority figure, and that the parents aren't just off-camera. As seen in the flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles", AJ's parents weren't around when she was a filly either, suggesting they died when she was still young. Significantly, Apple Bloom isn't around too. This leads to the conclusion that Apple Bloom is in fact the result of a teenage pregnancy, and they're just passing her off as Applejack's sister to avoid embarrassment. As for who the father is, well, [[BrotherSisterIncest considering Applejack's love for her family…]]

* Well… that's what "happened to be there" means. It's not like they materialized out of thin air. Sure, there can be an explanation for why they're there, but it's insanely unlikely. Especially given how often we see animals running loose (never).

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's Cutie Mark may have something to do with Zap Apples.]]

* Maybe Granny Smith calling Apple Bloom "Half-Pint" has more to do with her predictions for Apple Bloom's skill with zap apple jam (and possible pre-emptively using what she expects to be [[WMG/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSettingEquestrianCulture her cutecinera name]], or even [[Literature/{{Discworld}} a detached retina in her third eye or, in this case, chronologically displaced]] [[ArtisticLicenseBiology memory gland]]) than with Apple Bloom's size.

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's talent really is potion-mixing.]]

* That does explain why some one how probably never touched a potion before could brew them the love poison was just misidentifed but she did not mess up brewing it

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's special talent is apple alchemy.]]

[[WMG: AB is the unintentional catalyst for her parents' death.]]
Bear with me, this is a long one. Consider that Cherilee lived in the 80s, which would make her (if the ponies live on human year scales) in her late 30s to early 40s. One of the things that would make Big Mac a match with her is his age (figure that he's a lifelong batchelor due to being "married to his job", i.e. the farm.) thus putting him roughly 15 - 20 years older than the next sibling (AJ). By the time AJ's born, you're looking at the tail end of the potential birthing period for mares. That late birth (as well as giving birth to two big and/or strong earth ponies) could have done damage to Mrs. Apple's ability to have another kid (and having a kid that late, why push luck again?)

* This does explain why Applejack warned Apple Bloom that she would tell Big Mac; her father died, so she latched on to her big brother and sister.

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's cutie mark will be a house shaped like an apple.]]

[[WMG: Apple Bloom's special talent is (mad scientist voice) CREATION!]]
She succeeded at making zap apple jam, she rebuilt a horribly unsafe treehouse with no apparent offered materials and explicitly no help, she created the most dangerous trio of living ponies in modern Equestria, she outright [[ConsummateLiar fabricates "facts"]] all the time... Basically, her talent is to Earth Ponies what Twilight's talent is to Unicorns. Her cutie mark could be a zap apple blossom, or a crossed hammer and wooden spoon, or any number of other things that are considered creation imagery in Equestrian culture. What I wouldn't give to see her get her cutie mark while using a mad scientist voice with lightning in the background... Heck, she could even be the [[MemeticBadass Nikolai Tesla]] of post-Industrial Equestria, if the hints at this talent are building up to, not a fabrication or a zap apple cutie mark, but an "inventor of the first system to convert stored electricity into mechanical power without the use of magic" cutie mark!
* This is now this troper's headcannon

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is Apple Bloom's ParentalSubstitute]]

[[WMG: Apple Bloom will get an automatic cider-press cutie mark and try to hide it from her family.]]

* or the press scares her because she remebers the flim flam brothers

[[WMG: Applebloom is no longer friends with Twist]]

[[WMG: Applebloom and Applejack are half-siblings]]

[[WMG: Applebloom has already gotten her cutie mark, but due to the circumstances of how she got it, it won't actually ever show.]]

[[WMG: We will meet Scootaloo's parents at some point.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo can't fly because the CMC keep pulling out her pinion feathers.]]
In several episodes we see the Cutie Mark Crusaders pulling out Scootaloo's primary flight feathers. Once to stir the love poison and once to tickle spike. Notice also that most of the flying pegasi have pegasi friends or live with alot of pegasi. It's possible that Scootaloo parents are non-pegasi, thus she doesn't know that losing a feather like that is bad. Likewise Applebloom and Sweetie Belle aren't pegasi, so they don't realize the harm they're doing to Scootaloo

[[WMG: Scootaloo is homeless and hiding it.]]

** Jossed in 'Flight to the Finish'. She does have somewhere to live, as Applebloom, Sweetie and Dash find her in her room towards the end of the episode.

[[WMG: Scootaloo will get her Cutie Mark last.]]

* [[spoiler: Jossed. Scootaloo got her Cutie Mark the same time as Apple Bloom and Sweetie Belle.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo and ''Fluttershy'' are [[PolarOppositeTwins related]]]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo is Fluttershy's sister.]]
Her colors are similar to Fluttershys but much darker.
* Also, as fillies both are/were weak flyers and Fluttershy's habbit of wing-propelled running is alot like Scootaloo's wing-propelled scooting. Scootaloo's talent has been hinted at being dancing, and Fluttershy is acknowlaged as being graceful herself. It would also be cute.

[[WMG: Scootaloo was actually adopted by Rainbow Dash's family and thus has no blood relation with her.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's still Cheerilee's younger sis.]]

[[WMG: Ditzy Doo/Derpy Hooves is Scootaloo's older sister]]

[[WMG: Spitfire is Scootaloo's sister.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's cutie mark would be a scooter.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo isn't a pony.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's cutiemark will be Rainbow Dash.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo thought that Rainbow Dash was the Mysterious Mare Do-Well]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo has an older sibling -- and a poor relationship with them.]]
Such as an [[AloofBigBrother Aloof Big Sister]] who doesn't want anything to do with her, or a JerkJock who gives Scoot grief for not being able to fly/keep up with her yet… or a [[BigBrotherBully flat-out bully]]. Or perhaps she's simply not ''aware'' Scootaloo resents her [[WhenYouComingHomeDad always being 'too busy' to spend time with her]]...

[[WMG: Scootaloo's parents left her in Ponyville so she can learn to fly without too much risk.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo was in fact, [[RaisedByWolves raised by chickens]].]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo will be a SupremeChef.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's cutie mark will be a lightning bolt]]
But rather than linking her to the [[ComicBook/TheFlash Speed Force]] like Rainbow Dash, it will link her to the [[Franchise/PowerRangers Morphing Grid]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's a MilitaryBrat who ran away from home after getting sick of her dad's moving around.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo wants Dash to teach her how to fly.]]

* Jossed. In Sleepless in Ponville, Rainbow Dash informally adopts Scootaloo as her little sister. The end of this episode made it very clear that Rainbow Dash is well aware that Scootaloo can't really fly yet, and she doesn't care.

[[WMG: Scootaloo can already fly, she just uses the scooter to go faster]]

[[WMG: Rather then having a big sister...]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo's parents are Earth ponies.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo has a ''serious'' obsession with Rainbow Dash.]]
Like to the point [[LesYay of spying on her house in cloudsdale whenever she can find a way up there.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo is going to become a scientist]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo is adopted.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo will invent the first plane/plane prototype.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo can't fly because she's used to using her wings on her scooter.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo was meant to get her cutie mark back in 'Sleepless In Ponyville'.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo can't fly because she's overthinking it]]
A Pegusi's flying has nothing to do with their wingspan, look at "Roid Rage"/"Bulk Biceps" his wings are about the same size as Scootaloo's and he flies well enough to be accepted into the Wonderbolts Academy.

[[WMG: Scootaloo is Pinkie's daughter.]]

[[WMG: Scootaloo is Twilight Sparkle and Flash Sentry's daughter from the future.]]

[[WMG: The blue Pegasus mare who was with the CMC at the wedding in Slice Of Life is Scootaloo's mother.]]
Sources say her name is Helia. Apart form Big Mac (an older brother) and Zacora (basically a stranger), the crusaders would need adult supervision up on that ledge. Helia is often a busy mare and can't be around very much, so naturally she jumped at the opportunity to keep an eye on her daughter and their friends. Wedding or not, she's just happy to have time to spend with her daughter.

The above scenario seems a tad more likely in light of the whole Troubleshoes deal, with the mischievous CMC now watched by not one, but two supervisors. Also, just look at Helia, practically the picture of femininity. It's amusing to thing such a girly mother whould have such a wild tomboy for a child.

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle has [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dyspraxia Dyspraxia]].]]

** And the others seem much older than her, despite all appearing the same age. One of the easiest diagnostic criteria for Dyspraxia is falling behind their peers and remaining infantile in terms of physical and cognitive development. I've got dispraxia and she reminds me of me as a child, and as she's such a lovely character it's nice to think she could be a role model to other kids.

*** An episode showed the CMC bouncing a beachball back and forth and laughing. Initially it seems like they're laughing for no reason, but having read this entry, we can now see that it was a heartwarming moment of Sweetie Belle triumphantly doing something she didn't know she was capable of doing.

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle will fall in love with Spike and will MurderTheHypotenuse.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's special talent is something godlike.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's special talent is destruction.]]

* Scootaloo ponders 'Cutie Mark Crusader Demolitions' in 'The Cutie Pox'. And how cool would a wrecking ball cutie mark be? A more fun contrast: Rarity, the dressmaker extraordinaire. Her sister Sweetie Belle, with a wonderful voice ... operating heavy equipment at a construction site.

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle will get her singing Cutie Mark once she gets over stage fright.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's stage fright will be used for a ''different'' sort of lesson about patience.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle will attempt the "Want It, Need It" spell at some point.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's talent is for [[VideoGame/ExaPico Song Magic]] ]]

*Oh Celestia she's going to be a siren.
[[WMG: Sweetie Belle will develop an accent.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's cutie mark will be...]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle is a young changeling.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle will get her cutie mark first--and then in the following episode be PutOnABus...]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's special talent is using King Sombra's dark magic.]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle's cutie mark is destined to be...]]

[[WMG: Sweetie Belle has Anger issues]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are not who they appear to be. They are really...]]

'''Apple Blossom''': Apple Blossom, under the name Apple Bloom, is the daughter of Applejack and Caramel, assuming whatever blood-relation they may have is distant enough to not be considered insist. Caramel was killed in the war before the she was born. Apple Blossom was born alarmingly early along with a twin brother who was the spitting image of their father. He was stillborn and Apple Blossom barley survived. Applejack cherished her daughter enough to send her back in time to a safer place. This might account for the lack of parents seen.

'''Firefly''': Firefly, under the name Scootaloo, is the youngest foal of Rainbow Dash and Saorin. Firefly has at least two older siblings, likely all male which would explain her aversion to anything girly. She was the victim of fierce bullying because of her inability to fly and so Rainbow sent her back with the others to get her away from the bullies and possibly build up her confidence, which was dangerously low by that point. Something went wrong with the memory spell where Firefly was concerned so while her friends got to play the roles of their own aunts who never really existed to begin with, everyone is aware that Rainbow Dash has no sister and the filly has instead taken up the role of admirer. This also gives a genuine reason for her drive to be close to Rainbow; she just misses her mommy. This might account for the apparent lack of family or any home-life at all.

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are [[TheManBehindTheMan actually behind the series villains.]]]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will eventually get their cutie marks...]]

[[WMG: So what will the Cutie Mark Crusaders' talents be?]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will find their talents by giving up.]]
* The three of them, after an especially dangerous wacky scheme to get their marks, will finally give up. After splitting up to return to their homes, they'll each come across a seperate mopey blank flank- one of which is probably Pipsqueak. They'll try to help them find their talents, ending up crossing paths with each other without noticing (for transition's sake) and they'll gain their cutiemarks at the same time - magnifying glasses.

** Hey…are you making a [[WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls PPG]] StealthPun?

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusader's cutie marks will be (''in order of appearance''):]]

** Keep in mind that Scootaloo has a G3 Cutie Mark we can compare it to[[note]] it's a butterfly[[/note]]; I would be shocked if it wasn't at least SOMEWHAT similar to that... [[note]] Maybe a dragonfly?[[/note]]
** A [[http://www.indianapolismotorspeedway.com/ wheel with wings sprouting from it]]? She'll move to Whinnianapolis, Whinniana, perhaps. Or.. another [[http://redwings.nhl.com/ wheel with wings sprouting from it]]? This time moving to Detrot, Marechigan..

* all three is Jossed by Crusaders of the Lost Mark

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will become ''literal'' crusaders.]]

** Consider the following: Apple Bloom has befriended Zecora. Now why did Zecora leave her homeland (Hoofrica? Maneagascar? Senegallop?) and settle in the Everfree Forest? Zecora's cutie mark is a stylized sun, because she is a worshiper of Princess Celestia (Celestite? Celestian?), but she fled her homeland because some sort of heresy has become dominant there, and Celestians are now persecuted. When Apple Bloom learns of Zecora's backstory, she'll be inspired to lead a crusade to protect oppressed Celestians.

[[WMG: The reason for the Cutie Mark Crusaders' supposed AesopAmnesia.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are a Shout-Out to WesternAnimation/ThePowerpuffGirls.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will all get their cutie marks together.]]

* Maybe Scootaloo will try to copy Rainbow Dash's Sonic Rainboom in order to make something like this happen…

[[WMG: Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle's Cutie Marks will be tweaked versions of their G3 ones.]]

[[WMG:The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get cutie marks when…]]

[[WMG: At least one of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will obtain her mark accidentally.]]

* It will probably be Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle, since they're generally more relaxed and open than Scootaloo, who is ALWAYS trying to force her cutie mark. Most likely, Apple Bloom, since it's implied Sweetie Belle will get hers when she sings in front of a crowd. Apple Bloom's talent seems to lay in construction or repair. She'll probably be helping out AJ or Big Mac when she gets hers, presumably when she can't go crusading with Sweetie or Scootaloo. Sweetie will take it a lot better than Scootaloo, who will… given her personality, fling into full jealous brat mode and un-friend Apple Bloom/mock her hammer and nails Cutie Mark.

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get their marks at the same time… and won't notice at the time.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will become Discord's QuirkyMinibossSquad.]]

[[WMG: One of the CMC will gain her cutie mark, and it will severely strain her friendship with the others.]]

[[WMG: The CMC have already found their Special Talent.]]

[[WMG: The CMC aren't as fussed about finding their special talents as it seems to the Mane Cast, they just get really fired up at the start of each new project.]]

[[WMG: Pipsqueak will become the fourth Cutie Mark Crusader.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders' Special Talent ''really is'' Comedy.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get more members, and will eventually become an organization.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will get a "falling out" episode or similar.]]

[[WMG: The CMC will have a redo of the theme song performance.]]

[[WMG: Each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will have an episode where they spend more time with the other Crusaders' CoolBigSis/[[HeroWorshipper Personal Hero]].]]
Apple Bloom already had her training under Rainbow Dash in "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E12CallOfTheCutie Call of the Cutie]]", and Sweetie Belle obviously came to admire Applejack during "[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E5SisterhoovesSocial Sisterhooves Social]]". This theme will be continued with Apple Bloom spending time with Rarity, Sweetie Belle hanging out with Rainbow Dash, and Scootaloo getting scenes with Applejack and Rarity. Possiblities include:

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will attempt to focus on cutie marks one Crusader at a time.]]

[[WMG: The CMC will get their cutie marks all at once...]]

[[WMG: One of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will actually be ''upset'' when she gets her cutie mark.]]

[[WMG: The Cute Mark Crusaders WILL get their Cutie Marks. But it will cause a SoWhatDoWeDoNow moment.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will give a WhatTheHellHero speech to the mane cast.]]

[[WMG: At least one of the CMC will discover a talent/calling that will surprise the Mane Cast as well.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will have a fourth dark colored member join and then they will all get their Cutie Marks.]]

** Well, [[spoiler:Babs Seed look pretty dark, so…partially confirmed?]]

[[WMG: Sometime after the show ends, at least one of the CMC will be murdered.]]

[[WMG: The CMC will bond with the opposite of their sisters in the Mane 6.]]

[[WMG: Each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will get pets of their own.]]

* It is extremely easy to imagine Applebloom with a [[MessyPig pet pig]]. She already has pigs on her farm, so it would be highly likely that a runt could be born among them. This could prompt Applebloom to take care of it and adopt it.

[[WMG: The CMC's hinted talents are red herrings.]]

[[WMG: There are character reasons why the Cutie Mark Crusaders can't find their special talents.]]

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders will end up saving the day in one of the adventure stories.]]

[[WMG: The "Cutie Mark Crusaders" will one day become a legitimate support group.]]

[[WMG: The Crusaders will get some sort of joint cutie mark.]]

[[WMG: [[StatusQuoIsGod The CMC will never get their cutie marks]].]]

[[WMG: The CMC will continue after the fillies get their cutie marks]]

[[WMG:The two Manehatan Cutie Mark Crusaders will join the Ponyville Cutie Mark Crusaders]]

"Bloom and Gloom" mentions that they are currently without leadership and, if she followed Applebloom's example, the Manehatan Cutie Mark Crusaders club was housed in her house.

[[WMG: The Cutie Mark Crusaders are going to return to their "list of possible cutie marks"]]

[[WMG: each of the Cutie Mark Crusaders will have a post-cutie mark episode that adresses the same fears as their Princess Luna episodes]]

Applebloom already had one.

It is really weird that they have the talent of helping others gain their cutie marks if they had not guessed correctly their cutie marks in more than three seasons (in-universe, more than an year).

It’s a common assumption that getting a Cutie Mark is more-or-less equivalent (or at least a parallel) to the onset of puberty, at least from a cultural point of view (in that, at least, it's a mostly physical change that marks the shift from being a child to starting to become your own adult), with the Crusaders being “late bloomers” who got theirs a bit later than usual. Combined with this is the fact that, as shown in “[[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS6E9TheFaultInOurCutieMarks The Fault in Our Cutie Marks]]”, the Crusaders seem to have a lot of freedom in running their Cutie Mark counseling group, implying that they’re considered mature and competent enough to run their own organization outside of school and to do it well enough to be worth listening to. Finally, the same episode shows that their class is in the process of learning pre-calculus, something not generally taught before at least middle school age or so. All in all, this points to them having aged at least a bit since their first appearance -- if they were (the pony equivalent of?) nine or ten or so in their debut, they’re probably closer to thirteen or fourteen by now, call it fifteen at the highest.

[[folder: The Apple Clan]]
[[WMG: Eventually someone in the Apple family will fall in love with a pony from a family that grows oranges.]]

[[WMG: "Granny" Smith is actually the Apple Family's godmother.]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith was her generations's version of Pinkie Pie.]]

[[WMG: Big Mac will eventually bake cupcakes with Pinkie]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith is Really700YearsOld]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh will (somehow), at some point, suffer from Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome.]]

[[WMG: Big Mac's name is really Big [=McIntosh=]]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is a [[RetiredBadass Retired]] [[SouthernFriedGenius Southern Fried]] ScienceHero.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh secretly collects dolls]]

* Because it smells like. . . . ''her''.

[[WMG: Big Macintosh was unaffected by the "Want it, Need it" spell.]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith is Applejack, Big Macintosh, and Apple Bloom's '''mother'''.]]

[[WMG: The reason why the Apple Clan tend to be late bloomers...]]

[[WMG: There will be a Trottingham branch of the Apples, with Bramley being one of them]]

[[WMG: There will come a time where we'll learn to [[NeverMessWithGranny never mess with Granny Smith.]]]]

[[WMG: There will be a "FountainOfYouth''-esque episode and it'll show Granny Smith when she was younger.]]
And she'll be [[IWasQuiteALooker beautiful in her youth.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is capable of using [[Manga/OnePiece Haki]] or some other form of KiManipulation]]

[[WMG: The Apple Family are all carriers of the Cutie Pox Syndrome in latent form.]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith was quite Badass in her time]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith's name when she was younger is Annie Smith.]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith technically isn't part of the Apple family.]]

[[WMG: Aunt and Uncle Orange are also ''Diamond Tiara's'' Aunt and Uncle.]]

* I don't see any proof to surport that.

He's getting more and more screentime.

[[WMG: There's a special business deal between Sweet Apple Acres and Sugarcube Corner.]]

[[WMG: Sweet Apple Acres is actually quite profitable.]]

[[WMG: The Apple family is actually very wealthy]]

[[WMG: The Ponyville Apples are not good businessponies.]]
Whether from lack of experience, senility or genuinely poor business acumen, the Apples don't seem particularly business savvy. That's not to say they're idiots, but they are hesitant to call in for help when needed (Applejack nearly worked herself to death in Applebuck Season), do proper research into prospective markets (Applejack made a huge amount of common foods that anypony could buy at one of potentially dozens of bake shops in Canterlot and tried to sell it at a catered event, which ultimately went to waste), they don't make enough product nor adapt their production schedules to allow themselves to build up a surplus (their cider is quite vital to the survival of the farm but they constantly run out and potentially alienate their customers), and they let their family honor sucker them into a bad deal (they let the Flim Flam brothers harvest their southern fields with zero recompence). That's not to say they're complete failures, but they do make obvious mistakes and suffer for it.

[[WMG: Or they only make money off Cider and Zap apples, and one of those comes just before tax season]]
The Apples still hold two monopolies, one that appears to be a monopoly for ALL of equestria (the Zap apples). They sell everything else at either at cost, or they sell it at a loss, because of an over filled Apple Market. The Apple Family is all across Equestria, and since Earth Ponies magic is to grow food (they can even make viable Apple orchards in the DESERT), all food prices are VERY low. This is similar to farmers before and at the beginning of the Great Depression, where farmers were struggling, since they simply couldn't sell anything for a profit due to over comptetion from other family farms). Zap Apples and their special cider are the only thing making them money, and either A. the profits only barely outweigh the constant loses they take or B. they have the misfortune of tax season landing right after one of those harvests.

[[WMG: Big Macintosh and Cheerilee will get married.]]

* They will get married, but it will not be as a season ending episode. It will be a slice of life episode and later episodes will deal more with the effort it takes to keep a sucessful marriage going and how it changes the group dynamics. Apple Bloom won't get away with anything at home because her teacher is married to her brother. But at school, anything good that happens to her will be attributed to favoritism (because their teacher is married to her brother). Even if no actual favoritism occurs, the perception that it is happening will put a strain on her relationships with the other students, particularly the other CMC's.

[[WMG: Big Macintosh and Cheerilee had been secretly dating all along.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh and Cheerilee used to date, but broke up long before ''Hearts and Hoves'']]

[[WMG: Braeburn will return]]

* Confirmed in the episode Apple Family Reunion (season 3, episode 8). He had no speaking role though.

[[WMG: Discord (unintentionally?) helped Granny Apple]]
Under Discord's influence, Big Mac acted like a dog, Apple Jack a liar and Granny seemed to be tap dancing. Very energetic tap dancing. Now since Apple Jack was saving up to replace her hip at season 1 and at season 2 Granny could dress up like a bunny and hop over water pails, its quite a change.

[[WMG: Granny is going senile and its hurting the Apples.]]
She's losing her sharp wits and sprit of adventure/experimentation to the point of near disasterous business decissions but since the Apples respect her, they follow along come what may.

[[WMG: An Apple clan relative will appear for a AlwaysSomeoneBetter plot.]]

[[WMG: A CityMouse relative will visit Sweet Apple Acres.]]

[[WMG: Granny Smith isn't named after a type of apple.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is named after the computer.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh's yoke is a PowerLimiter.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is the Earth Pony equivalent to Twilight Sparkle.]]

-->'''Villain''': "I have defeated your friends. There are none who stand with you. Do you truly think you can defeat me?"
-->'''Macintosh''': ([[TheGlovesComeOff Yoke hits ground]]) "[[BluntYes Eeyup]]".

[[WMG: Grandpappy Apple (Granny Smith's husband and Big Mac's, Applejack's and Applebloom's grandfather) founded Ponyville's school.]]

* But then Rarity would be in her class since their the same age, along with Applejack, and she'd have told Applebloom atleast once during the Family Appreciation Day so she wouldn't feel bad about taking Granny Smith to speak infront of her class.

[[WMG: Babs Seed is the daughter of Aunt and Uncle Orange.]]
It's not confirmed, but it only seems logical. They're AJ's aunt and uncle, and since Apple Bloom is her sister, hers as well; any child of theirs would be her cousin. Futhermore, they live in Manehattan, where Babs is from. QED.
* I would've guessed grandaughter. Applejack lived with the Oranges as a filly. About a generation of time has passed between then and the present. If the oranges had children they would have grown past Bab Seed's age and could logically have their own children by the time of the show.
** {{Jossed}} by [[WordOfGod the writer of "One Bad Apple"]] - someone on Equestria Daily asked the writer this same question, to which they replied "Not that I know of". It thus can be assumed that Babs is part of yet another branch of the Apple family, the Seed family, and both the Seeds and Oranges just happen to live in Manehatten.

[[WMG: Hayseed Turnip Truck married into the Apple family.]]

* Depends on how canon you feel the comics are, if you believe them [[spoiler: He's single, has a huge crush on Rarity and became a successful businesscolt.]]

[[WMG: Applejacks parents aren't dead.]]

[[WMG: Applejack's parents aren't dead.]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is a BigLittleBrother.]]

[[WMG: In the "Babs Seed" music sequence, the background that is lozengy sable and or (black and yellow) with apple seeds countercharged...]]

[[WMG: Babs is older than the CMC]]

[[WMG: Big Mac is a drag princess]]

[[WMG: The Apple Family are descendanted from ninjas]]

[[WMG: Bright Mac and Pear Butter contracted a similar disease to Swamp Fever.]]

[[WMG: A member of the Apple Clan was the Equestrian equivalent of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Johnny_Appleseed Johnny Appleseed]].]]

[[WMG: Bright Mac and Pear Butter were killed by Timberwolves.]]

[[WMG: Zecora had a run-in with Applejack in the past, which is why Applejack's so scared of her.]]

[[WMG: Zecora has lost family or friends to crocodiles.]]

[[WMG: Zecora did steal Pinkie Pie's song.]]

[[WMG: Zecora is a recluse or outcast from zebra society.]]

[[WMG: Zecora will get a song.]]

[[WMG: Zecora's special talent is being a MagicalNegro.]]

[[WMG: Zecora's special talent is being an herbalist and chemist.]]

[[WMG: Zecora moved to the Everfree Forest because it is the location of some of the most exotic and potent plants in the world.]]

[[WMG: Zecora's rhyming is due to her TranslatorMicrobes.]]

[[WMG: Zecora and Princess Celestia are somehow linked.]]

[[WMG: Zecora speaks in rhyme as a show of respect to others.]]

* It steems from the Zebra's interaction with the Rhino's.

[[WMG: Something terrible happened in Zecora's homeland and she's in Equestria to look for a way to fix things.]]

[[WMG: Zecora will have a larger role in season 3.]]
Zecora was intended to be sort of a second mentor to Twilight, but it didn't come to pass. Seeing as how she has been appearing more often in season 2, it's not unreasonable to assume that her role could expand. Her main role in the show is already to help the characters out with magical issues they know little about, and Twilight can learn a ton of things from Zecora that she can't learn anywhere else, not even from books.

[[WMG: Zecora is somehow affiliated with [[WesternAnimation/TheThiefAndTheCobbler ZigZag the Grand Vizier]].]]

[[WMG: Zecora speaks in rhyme as a way to get in touch with magic.]]

[[WMG: Zecora currently has a poison joke infection that makes her talk in rhyme.]]

[[WMG: Zecora is actually a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Zebroid Zebroid]].]]

* She might just be a [[http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mountain_Zebra mountain zebra.]] They're smaller than other zebra species, about the same size as ponies, in fact. Also, the fact that a zebra has a cutie mark is no stranger than the fact that ponies have cutie marks. That's apparently just something common to equines in this world. Consider also that the mule we saw in "Applebuck Season," despite appearing to be an adult, did not have one. Since a mule must have a pony or horse ancestor, and if you are correct that pony hybrids with other equines will also develop cutie marks, that would lead us to expect an adult mule to have one. More likely, then, is the explanation that something about the hybridization process blocks the formation of cutie marks, which would mean that the fact that Zecora has one militates against your hypothesis. As for her stripes, all zebras have different patterns; that's not dispositive. Most zebra/horse hybrids only have stripes over certain parts of their bodies, and have more horse-like coats elsewhere, which is not the case with Zecora.

[[WMG: Zecora can glow in the dark.]]

[[WMG: Zecora's illusion dust isn't magical. It's a hallucinogenic compound]]

[[WMG: Zecora was exiled from the zebra homelands for her constant rhyming.]]

[[WMG: Zecora know slight of hand and other illusions.]]

[[WMG: Zecora isn't black, she's biracial.]]

[[WMG: Zecora was destined to be her tribe's leader.]]

[[WMG: Zecora will eventually [[SubvertedRhymeEveryOccasion subvert a rhyme]].]]

-->'''Zecora''': "It would seem to me that we need a lot of luck, otherwise, I'm afraid we're totally [[LastSecondWordSwap in trouble]].

-->'''Other Character''': "...Hey, that didn't rhyme!"
-->'''Zecora''' (Deadpan): "So sue me."

[[WMG: Someone will try to trip Zecora up.]]

-->'''Zecora''': Why does every pony try to trip me up with "orange? Have they not considered combining words like "Door hinge"?
-->'''Zecora''': No pony before has asked me to rhyme purple. If anyone will, I'd guess that young [[EnsembleDarkhorse Derp']][[Literature/WaysideSchool ll]].
-->'''Zecora''': Thank you, Miss Rarity, for this necklace of silver!/In return perhaps this magic [[PainfulRhyme quill fer]]/[[MidwordRhyme writing on fabric will possibly do]];/I hope that its charm will be helpful for you.

[[WMG: Zecora is half-Zebra half-Unicorn]]

[[WMG: All zebras Zecora included use magic without horns or a magic color]]

[[WMG: In the wake of the Season 4 premiere, Zecora is now homeless.]]

[[WMG: Zecora is the last zebra alive.]]

Several years ago a horrible magical disaster whipped out the entire zebra population except for Zecora. Since their homeland is very far away from Equestria the Ponies don’t even know what happened and Zecora doesn’t want to talk about it because it brings up all the bad memories.

[[WMG: Zecora lives in the everfree forest since it is close to her actual homeland.]]

[[WMG: For a time, Zecora lived among Grundles.]]

[[WMG: Zecora is familiar with time paradoxes like the one in "The Cutie Re-Mark".]]

[[folder: The Cakes]]
[[WMG: Carrot Cake is [[Anime/MonsterRancher Tiger of the Wind]].]]

[[WMG: The Cakes are good friends of the Pies.]]

[[WMG: The Cakes don't live in Sugarcube Corner; they normally keep their toddlers at home with a nanny while they run the shop.]]

[[WMG: Celestia is the "Father" of Pound and Pumpkin Cake]]

[[WMG: There's no infidelity involved between Mr. and Mrs. Cake]]

[[WMG: Pound Cake's ability to fly is only because he's small enough for his wings to lift him.]]

[[WMG: Pound Cake's Cutie Mark will be strength-related.]]

[[WMG: Pumpkin Cake will become a chef, with pumpkin-related specialties]]

[[WMG: Pound and Pumpkin Cake will eventually become heroes of Equestria.]]

[[WMG: Regarding Pumpkin Cake...]]
I predict that, because of her unusual magic skills (teleportation, levitation, and ''self'' levitation, among who know's what else), I predict that Pumpkin Cake will soon become Twilight's own student and eventuall successor as the Element of Magic.

[[WMG: Twist is Mr and Mrs Cake's daughter.]]

[[WMG: Twilight will get her turn looking after the twins.]]

[[WMG: The Mane Cast will get asked to help teach the twins.]]

[[WMG: Pumpkin Cake will develop magic akin to Pinkie Pie's powers.]]

[[WMG: Adultery ''was'' involved in the production of Pound and Pumpkin Cake.]]

[[WMG: Pound Cake will grow up to be the official caterer for Wonderbolt functions.]]

[[WMG: Pinkie will find herself in a prickly situation thanks to poor schedule mangement.]]
In short, she'll promise to help one of her friends with something, only to realize later she'd already promised to babysit the twins on that same day. Unwilling to break either promise, she attempts to juggle all her responsiblities at once. Rather than running back and forth, she could simply the twins with her when she goes to meet her friends. ''However'', she may not think to get permission from the Cakes first, or from her friend, who might not appreciate having the foals there... or the twins simply raise more havoc than expected.

[[WMG: Mr. and Mrs. Cake are siblings]]

[[WMG: Pound Cake will be Rainbow Dash's protegé in the future.]]

[[WMG: Cheerilee is still Scootaloo's sister like in G3.]]
Cheerilee is implied to be about the same age as Rarity in "Cutie Mark Chronicles" and Rarity has a little sister. We didn't know Sweetie Belle and Rarity were related until "The Stare Master", so the Cheerliee & Scootaloo relation has just never been brought up on-screen. As to why Scootaloo doesn't look up to her big sister like her fellow crusaders, it might be because Cheerilee is a school teacher and therefore not "cool". WordOfGod is that Ponies can 'interbreed', so they could still be sisters despite the fact Scootaloo is now a Pegasus.

* FridgeBrilliance: This would also explain why Scootaloo doesn't attend the same school class as Applebloom although they're the same age. She's just in another form group or something, because she can't be taught by her own sister.

[[WMG: Cheerilee will become a SixthRanger]]
In season 2, her screentime has been increased sharply. She has also been woven subtly into the mane cast's lives:

[[WMG: Cheerilee and Big Macintosh are not romantically involved with each other, but might become good friends.]]

[[WMG: Spitfire was only recently promoted to being the leader of the Wonderbolts.]]

[[WMG: Spitfire's EmbarrassingNickname is not suitable for children.]]

[[WMG: Cheese Sandwich's berserk button is bad spelling, punctuation, and grammar.]]

[[WMG: Sunburst is related to Sunset Shimmer.]]

[[WMG: Sunburst is a younger Star Swirl the Bearded.]]

[[folder: Thorax]]

[[WMG: Thorax was always a king changeling ]]

[[WMG:Thorax's clutch was a result of genetic experimenting by Queen Chrysalis]]\

Now, the actual WMG: Chrysalis had planned her invasion of Equestria (and of a whole lot more if she had won, knowing her) for a while, and wanted a better force than the one she had. Changelings, as it stands, seem to have serious issues with herd mentality and lack of independence. This is fine for minions and henchmen, but a full-scale war and invasion requires soldiers who can act on their own in the field. As such, Chrysalis decided to run experiments on her egg clutches in preparation for the coup, with the intention of creating more independent soldiers who would be able to take initiative in chaotic battles or campaigns. Pharynx was one of the more satisfactory results (hence being head of patrols), while Thorax is a case that has GoneHorriblyRight.

[[WMG: Thorax originally was a Changeling spy, but came down with Stockholm Syndrome.]]

[[WMG: Princess Ember will look Very Different after Season 6]]

* Just to be clear: Are we talking about making cupcakes with Pinkie Pie, or making Fanfic/{{Cupcakes}} [[ImAHumanitarian with]] [[SerialKiller Pinkie Pie]]?

Related to above WMG, Macintosh's Earth Pony magic is as powerful as Twilight Sparkle's unicorn magic. Unfortunately, he never had a teacher to help him control it. Not wanting to accidentally hurt anypony, he developed the yoke as a power limiter. The only ones who know exactly how powerful he is are him and Granny Smith, who helped him build the yoke. Applejack and Apple Bloom have a vague idea how powerful he is, but have never actually seen it in action. He's never taken it off before because he's never needed to. The Mane Six have always been up to the task. If there is a time when they can't, the yoke will come off, resulting in said floor breakage. After giving the villian a WorldOfCardboardSpeech, Macintosh will then proceed to unleash TranquilFury, much to everyone else's astonishment. Once the battle is over, Macintosh will then quietly put the yoke back on, cleans up after the battle and goes back to being regular old Macintosh.

She succeeded at making zap apple jam, she rebuilt a horribly unsafe treehouse with no apparent offered materials and explicitly no help, she created the most dangerous trio of living ponies in modern Equestria, she outright [[TruthTwister fabricates]] [[ConsummateLiar "facts"]] all the time... Basically, her talent is to Earth Ponies what Twilight's talent is to Unicorns. Her cutie mark could be a zap apple blossom, or a crossed hammer and wooden spoon, or any number of other things that are considered creation imagery in Equestrian culture. What I wouldn't give to see her get her cutie mark while using a mad scientist voice with lightning in the background... Heck, she could even be the [[MemeticBadass Nikolai Tesla]] of post-Industrial Equestria, if the hints at this talent are building up to, not a fabrication or a zap apple cutie mark, but an "inventor of the first system to convert stored electricity into mechanical power without the use of magic" cutie mark!

* Maybe Granny Smith calling Apple Bloom "Half-Pint" has more to do with her predictions for Apple Bloom's skill with zap apple jam (and possible pre-emptively using what she expects to be [[WMG/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSettingEquestrianCulture her cutecinera name]], or even [[Literature/{{Discworld}} a detached retina in her third eye or, in this case, chronologically displaced]] [[ArtMajorBiology memory gland]]) than with Apple Bloom's size.

But rather than linking her to the [[ComicBook/TheFlash Speed Force]] like Rainbow Dash, it will link her to the [[PowerRangers Morphing Grid]]

[[WMG: Big Macintosh is capable of using [[Manga/OnePiece Haki]] or some other form of KiAttack]]
