Crazy Headcanons

Yes and no. The sorting process doesn’t follo stereotypical “nerd-jock” cliques, it mostly judges people’s values and character.

The basic way the sorting works starts with the question: “What do they value the most?”
But a better way to explain it: “What counts as a tool and what counts as the goal for the person?”

Let’s start with intelligence.
Sunburst always valued the intelligence, reading books and trying to satisfy said thirst. Intelligence and knowledge were the mean, as so he’s a stereotypical Ravenclaw.

But then, what about someone who’s intelligent but their biggest desire is to find a place to fit, hard work and usually go with the flow with a desire for community and peace? They could use said intelligence as a mean to achieve connection and humble aims like Moondancer who could be Hufflepuff.

How about using intelligence to match with cunning? If said person values way more getting achievements and see tangible results more important than just plain intelligence, someone who wants to make a mark or values the idea of leaving a mark on the world even if vicariously and somewhat detached? Starswirl might just ve a high level intelligence Slytherin.

And finally….someone who uses intelligence for self-improvement and to assert values rather than just platitudes. Someone who uses their intelligence because they want to do what others wouldn’t dare, to do what other people would chicken out, use the prudence and scheming associated with smarts to still take risks for the sake of justice? Well that explains Twilight Sparkle perfectly as a Gryffindor.

@Twi Clown
So Hogwarts really is morally grey if values overlap and they let Snape who’s a dark arts master.

@TheQuietMan
Nah, that’s more of a narrative blunder.
Besides, Merlin advocated for integration rather than segregation in that universe and he was Slytherin, plus some argued Voldemort merely had an easier time recruiting people from his own house by proximity, otherwise he accepted Peter Pettigrew from Gryffindor and Quirrel from Ravenclaw all the same without much of a fuss.

And Snape is actually a potion master for 5 years, only being a dark arts teacher at the sixth year only.

I did actually do this myself once (though mostly for the Mane Six) - even to the point of creating character profiles for them as natives of that world. (Never quite finished Rarity’s, though - or did Spike or Celestia or anyone. Maybe I should…)

TF2 Analysis: (spoilers for the recent two-parter): In addition to reparing the budget, Tightwad also exploited the fourth wall to get the drone back into working order.

Griffons and hippogriffs comprise their own subclass of birds, Mammalaves. Griffons are of the order Ailuriformes, family Gryphonidae, genus Gryps, species aeluroedes. Hippogriffs are of the order Hippiformes, family Hippogryphidae, genus Aquilequus, species arismonticus.

@Korora
Twilight has met multiple original seapony species that ain’t the transformed hippogriffs at some point. They are also subjected to Twilight’s ultimatum of suppressing magic in artifacts. And so are the other races she met. They all have one.

Limestone subconsciously resents staying at the rock farm. She does it because Marble wouldn’t be able to do heavy labor and her parents’ age is starting to catch up upon them.

@Twi Clown
Also Marble’s in college.

Here’s an IDW headcanon:

When Marble Pie attended the University of Abyssinia, she tried to take Pinkie’s advice and find a boyfriend. Unfortunately, the stallions at the school were either gay or asexual, and the only other guys that were romantically interested in her were Abyssinians, which she sadly turned down.

The reason she didn’t want to date the cat people was not because her parents were “racist” towards non-pony species, but because her father was severely allergic to cat hair.

@DragonBoi471
You’re welcome. That’s exactly what I meant by my comment

Blossomforth is a retired circus contortionist.

@Korora
Don’t know about that, he looks bulky to me.

[Crossover dumb idea.]
Glep stole his hat from Starswirl’s wardrobe.
Why?
Not sure, neither he nor Twilight have caught the little green gremlin yet.

And if you ask Glep all he says is: Besshhhhuuushshsheeeehehhshshe shahsahshshdhsd dhhheheee ttteeee. Spit

@TheQuietMan
You’re thinking of Bulk Biceps. This is Blossomforth:

@Wiimeiser
Oh I know it’s that Blossomforth, I was referring to the other one.

Rarity is a great chef.

Considering how nitpicky she gets with details, she probably can tell many flavors and smells apart.

Problem is, her perfectionism makes her rather unsuited for mass production like restaurants.

As I mentioned before, Sprout was certain that Argyle had made Derpy Hooves up out of whole cloth. Well, you could have knocked him down with a feather when archaeologists uncovered the Royal Cemetery of the Heroes in the ruins of a suburb of Canterlot, and Derpy’s grave was identified.

Spike fought in a great war and became highly decorated. He later on wrote pulp fiction novels and comic books and became a beloved celebrity in his own right.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Crackle Pop grew up to be a police detective in Canterlot. With the aid of his input (to avoid procedural errors), his sister Derpeline wrote three murder mysteries, two of them top-notch. An age later, archaeologists uncovered nearly intact copies of the two masterpieces in the Bone-Dry Desert. Sunny Starscout was elated to learn of this.

MLP Analysis: Jasper Pie eventually destroyed the bottomless deep dish pan in order to prevent a tragedy (after Mary Sue made sure there was no one falling down it, of course).

Lyra likes humans because she believes humans are a powerful warrior race…

@Twi Clown
I’m pretty sure if you try to ruin it for her she probably will just think you’re brainwashed by the system.

Rarity actually reveres Granny Smith a lot. Even as a filly she always had respect for creating a successful family business. Even if she didn’t get along with AJ back then she always tried to find out some secrets to success from granny.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Keep in mind, Granny probably started her business from scratch or at least had to pick it up from a much less advantageous situation.

AJ is responsible but also more of an stabilizer rather than a creative head or a business visionary, Granny was the brain regarding the deal making and strategic marketing of the Apple family, as Mr. Rich’s alliance can attest.
