History Trivia / TheNegotiationsVerse

*** Scootaloo [[spoiler:would begin to hate humanity and she would teach any children she has to do the same. This was retconned by a later answer by Ponystar due to Choice showing her never having hated humanity but she would have had a falling out with Rainbow Dash and would leave Equestria with Apple Bloom.]]

*** Apple Bloom [[spoiler:will help out with relief efforts as well as start a new branch of the Apple Family. Like Scootaloo, she would hate the humans and vow to never forgive humanity for their actions in the war. Likewise retconned just like with Scootaloo by a later answer stating she never had an opinion on humanity, but had she survived she would have disowned Applejack [[ThisIsUnforgivable for selling out ponies to the ESS]] and left with Scootaloo.]]

** An author's note at the end of ''Rest'' reveals that originally, [[spoiler:Discord would have told Spike what happens after death - every dimension has its own creator, beginning, ending, and afterlife. A soul is basically the cosmic energy of a being and when the physical body dies, the soul is [[TheLifestream drawn back to the cosmic energy]] of that dimension and ends up in whatever afterlife is created for them. However, if a person from one dimension was to die in a different dimension, they would be rejected by that dimension's cosmic energy since it's different and the souls would eventually [[CessationOfExistence cease to exist]]. Therefore, all the ponies from Equestria who have died or will die in the dimension Earth is in shall become nothing, even Spike and Discord will. It is mitigated when Discord reveals that any pony born into Earth's dimension are now part of it and thus will have an afterlife when they themselves die]]. Ultimately, Ponystar decided it was too sad and didn't go through with it.

** The original plan for ''Warfare'' was based on ''Film/{{Downfall}}'', and focused on multiple characters and viewpoints during the Siege of Canterlot, but Ponystar ultimately went with what ''Warfare'' is now. However, he did include parts of what he originally planned into the later chapters of the final story, including the character of General Valkyrie.

** In the "Divine Justice" ending of ''Fallen'', Ponystar originally planned to [[spoiler:have Harmony turn Fluttershy into an alicorn and become the new leader of Equestria]] but decided against it, feeling that it was cheesy. He would rework this concept into it's own ending called "Harmony's Chosen".

** Rarity [[spoiler:would've left Equestria permanently like Fluttershy did and assisted in the relief efforts for both sides.]]
** Pinkie Pie [[spoiler:would've fallen into a deep depression over ponykind's sins that would have taken her years to recover from.]]
** Luna [[spoiler:would also have been tried like Celestia was.]]
** Two possible outcomes were provided for Cadance, and they're both depressing: [[spoiler:1) If both she and her daughter survived, she would've raised Flurry Heart on her own in isolation. 2) If she lived but Flurry did not, she would've ended her own life out of sheer despair.]]
