The current Mane 6's mothers are the G1 Mane 6 ?
This is a question that we all already posed ! Well, not exactly all, or this video will be useless in fact.
Some of you have probably already heard this, in fact this headcannon is very popular in the community,
and not just because it's simply amazing, but because it's well-founded.
Let me explain. Do you remember the flashback in "The Cutie Mark Chronicles" ? No? Well it's probably because
I've translated the title instead of using the french title but try to remember it anyway.
In this episode, we can see Twilight's parents, his mother Twilight Velvet and his father Nightlight, which is very interesting because
we learn that Twilight wasn't came out of a black hole like the G1 ponies or that Stocking is not relative to her haircut but I digress that's not the issue.
A closer look, we realize that his mother is very much like a pony, or even a unicorn! And this is...not very interesting to note,
nevermind, and especially that she's very similar to the same named Twilight, leader of the Mane 6 of the G1.
Look at her 5 minutes, her mane and her cutie mark are identical, and yes her cutie mark too because cuties marks
with nine symbols are a bit too much, three symbols are enough, it's the crisis my dear.
All this points make that the idea of a descent is not completely far-fetched, especially when you think about
Lauren Faust's attachment to the cast of the G1, especially Firefly.
In that case, it's also logical to tell that Rainbow Dash's mother is Firefly, idea supported by many people, except that there is a small problem.
Let's do a small historic break to better understand the problem: Hasbro refused Firefly in the G4 due to copyright problems,
so Lauren Faust has created Rainbow Dash and keeping the personality and behaviour of her favorite character.
In theory it doesn't ask any problem in the series because we can easily say that Rainbow Dash has inherited her mother's personality, Firefly
and the coat and mane of his father apparently named Bifröst, as seen in the flashback of Equestria Olympic Games.
However, at the legal level, it's as possible as see Rarity fighting a giant crab, because unfortunately
as I have said Hasbro doesn't have Firefly's rights and cannot make her appear, and therefore make canonical this descent .
But we can always hope, or spam Hasbro to bought the rights, but I think we better hope it's more safe,
and quasi-canonical way or not, this story is still nevertheless strengthen the theory of this video.
Looking on Rarity, and after doing some research on our friend My Little Wiki, we can note
that his mother looks exactly like the Argentine version of Glory, pony of the Mane 6 G1 who Rarity is based on.
It falls really good but...after that this theory is sorely lacking of arguments.
As you are aware, I haven't talked about Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie or Applejack, and why ?
Because I don't have enough information on their parents to say something, and say things without basic source is unethical to my concept of analysis,
even if I grant you I look like to do it anyway.
To return to our sublime theory, it must recognize that Fluttershy and Applejack's parents are just as present as Sombra,
so consider absent, and are never mentioned, even though Lauren Faust suggested that Applejack's parents are pasted away,
which is very sad, and what appears to be confirmed by the melancholy of Applejack when she looking to two shooting stars at Apple Family Reunion.
But hey it doesn't get us more.
Fluttershy and Applejack are clearly based on Posey and ... Applejack G1 from the Mane 6 of the G1
apart from the fact that they look slightly to the point where we can honestly say that Flutters and AJ are the G4 versions of Posey and Applejack G1,
apart from that Applejack G1 had no hat and Posey had a cutie mark made of nine flowers because she loves flowers THREE TIMES MORE than a lambda pony.
But we could say in good faith that our heroines descended of Posey and Applejack G1
with all this evidences we have here but again, I don't say anything without proof of the hit, and on this point we cannot advance.
After, about Pinkie Pie, her mother is clearly not Surprise from the G1 or Pinkie Pie from the G3,
just because she has a dull gray coat and her official name is Cloudy Quartz, established in the comics, that i encourage you to read. (NOTE : EYES AND COAT ARE AS SAME AS SURPRISE !)
Then we can always imagine that Pinkie isn't really their daughter because in fact her procreation is because his father fought valiantly in the army of Equestria
and one day he was at the front and make crack crack with a nice pink nurse who descended from Surprise and Pinkie Pie G3 gender-swapped
but they were smashed by the grandfather of Tom so he took with him Pinkie and took her as his girl
while plunging her into a depression as she's mentally unstable and has a psychopathic personality fan of cupcakes in her!
But it's really get away from the subject...
This theory gives 50/50 in the end, it's coherent with Twilight, Rainbow Dash and Rarity but completely unfounded with Applejack, Fluttershy and Pinkie Pie.
However, I still follow this theory, hey do you think that Twilight's family lives in Canterlot just by chance?
That Rainbow Dash was able to afford a palace in the clouds just by snapping her hooves?
That Applejack has fifty acres by chance?
That Fluttershy got her status of forest guardian just because she's nice and friendly?
That Rarity got so much money and a marvelous shop with playing the lottery?
That Pinkie was named First Entertainer of Ponyville by chance?
Well no! Que nenni! All of this is for the services rendered by their mothers, who saved Equestria in the past! The Mane 6 is consistently replenished in every generation!
I'm Monochrom Script, the first French analyst brony and I agree with this theory with a huge yes.
PS: Watch the G1, it's not that bad if you ignore the graphics!"
