|| I have a conspiracy theory/crazy headcanon.
They use “moons” as a measurement of time, presumably equal to years in context. But a lunar cycle is about a month! They walk everywhere, despite Equestria being the size of a continent. One of the background pegasi is damn-near identical to Lightning Dust.Conclusion: G5 occurs shortly after G4, this is just a very isolated and very crazy part of the country Twilight doesn’t touch.Unrelated: how much do we need to pay Hasbro to get wooden figurines of the Mane 6? I NEEEEEEEEEEEED them! ||
Wait, there’s more crazy inconsistencies! G4 is 100% canon to G5, as it was depicted in FiM. The thing is, in FiM the sun and moon can’t move on their own. It takes several unicorns (or one alicorn) to do that, and in a world without magic that’s impossible! Unless somewhere there was such an alicorn, or alicorns. Perhaps Twilight gave up on ruling her kingdom, but still looked after her subjects? Or maybe, after Twilight’s clearly catastrophically bad reign, Luna and Celestia took up their old mantles to do it themselves.And speaking of the Sisters! How does a society forget ONE THOUSAND YEARS of peace and prosperity? Hitch tells Sunny that the stories of pony unity are stories for foals, despite Celestia reigning over the height of ponies as a species and maintaining the Pax Equestriana for a millennium. Surely her reign would be like the Roman Empire is to us, a legendary period of history that in the common eye transcends fact and becomes legend. Where’s my Sun Cult trying to bring her back? Where’s my edgy highschooler ironically saying he wants the diarchy back? How has the truly monumental accomplishment of the Sisters’ rule become entirely forgotten?

A day and a night by train, as established in G4 (if we take Zephyr Heights as being Canterlot, which was about a day or two away by train from most other places). The G4 movie was terrible at scale, but at least we had a scale for how bad it was. Canterlot/Zephyr Heights is waaaaaaay inland, there’s no way it’s less than a week at least by foot from the nearest ocean.
