Well in my fanon, the magic Starless uses isn’t the same kind of magic that unicorns use, but a kind of dark, forbidden magic that he and some of his friends on the other side learned. His magic is stronger than the average unicorn but weaker than Starlight and all of the alicorns.
I could have just made Starless a unicorn and let him use normal magic, but that’s not the kind of pony he is. He’s the kind of pony whose born weak but will find some way to use magic, will take any opportunity he gets to do whatever, and has no problem resorting to cheating to win. He’s not the kind of person I want to be, but rather the worst of me. I might write a real fanfiction at some point if I ever feel like it, one to replace the old one I wrote months ago with no actual effort put into it. I haven’t completely decided what to do with my OC.
And a new page.

Encanto is completely forgotten as the most recent Disney win after all the blunders they have made. People are so focused on hating Disney it’s like they didn’t even make Encanto. I’m always like “But Encanto is right there. It’s not that bad.”

I’ve heard parts of it but never had time to listen to the whole thing in one sitting. Maybe if it was only an hour or two long instead of six hours I would have heard it all at once. I’m not concerned about that album breaking me, although from what I’ve heard, it makes Pink Floyd, King Crimson, and Van Der Graaf Generator’s darkest music all look like the most fun and happy music ever recorded in comparison.

In the case of these two, they simply didn’t order any more episodes/specials after they were released.
TYT was ordered several new episodes and 4 specials and it wasn’t even halfway done, no company would just cancel at the last minute.

a hot take: G5 Lore is a little more consistent than G4, but it’s very basic and like g4 it’s not as explored.
for example we have 3 pony cities, but we are 90% of the time in the least interesting city of all, an ordinary coastal city.
while we have a living metropolis that has a whole hidden history of political manipulation and another city that seemed to be a normal forest but in fact has strange mystical connections.

Agreed. I felt like after they introduced the Map, we would of seen more places Outside of Equestria, which while we do in Yakyakenstan, would a trip to Zecora’s homeland, that she spoke very proudly of, be a lil too much to ask?

Encanto is the one Disney movie I think that deserves to be milked. It has so many characters with cool abilities and glimpses of backstory.
Frankly I think this movie probably deserves a series more than Tangled did back in the day. Even if that Tangled sh9w was good, it didn’t really need expansion. But Encanto I think could use it.
It’s amazing Disney can give all these remakes these days, but they can’t even give a spin off show to a pretty popular recent movie.

The main problem here is that several dozen writers were unable to agree on the development of lore in 2010-2019 while G4 was alive, when comics, children’s books, text stories, publications, TV series and a movie were produced by several hundred employees in different companies subject to Hasbro who doesn’t care. This produces a ton of controversies, contradictions and logical conflicts. This “tradition” continues in today’s G5. Sometimes, with the possible exception of Faust and a couple of others, mediocrity and short-sightedness characterize the writers of both G4 and G5.
The Italian Disney had a similar problem, which an American managed to solve by publishing his world-building work about Scrooge McDuck which was immediately adopted as a reference work for future Disney publications by writers who appreciated the structural framework that makes it easier. For example, the word “Calisota” about the ducks’ homeland (state in the US) was unknown until Don Rosa made this a rule. Now “everyone” knows that the Disney ducks live in Calisota.
When Celestia and Luna came to Equestria, this country was loosely composed of several fiefdoms as discovered in the comics about the pillars and partly confirmed in the TV series, which revealed that Equestria had an aristocracy and intact vassal states as Maretonia, although there is a certain Versallies atmosphere in Canterlot. Aristocrats from all over the country had gathered there, and politically this is not logical - then it must mean that Celestia had introduced compulsory residence for the nobility who must remain in Canterlot as in France. This doesn’t seem to be the case before Discord’s invasion. We have seen in various publications that the royal sisters did not seem to have much power when they were still foals.
According to “The Journal of the Royal Sisters”, these had come from another country, which we now know is Skyros, for upbringing in Equestria - in the Middle Ages it was very common for children to be brought up in other people’s homes and even other countries. Unfortunately, this led to countless family wars when relatives - even siblings - gather over the inheritance of predecessors, who could leave behind enormous wealth. This was important in a feudal system where personal relationships, kinship ties and alliance building were vital.
Starswirl was not only the royal sisters’ teacher, he was from a feudal perspective their foster father. And he didn’t become a foster father just because he wanted to, we know he considered it an obligation. This is called “fosterage”. At the time, it was considered a special honor to be responsible for the upbringing of children, especially royal children, which means that one is given special privileges by the family that gives their child to that person. Kinship ties and a basis for alliance are formed. Starswirl was the royal sisters’ “father”, as we have seen plenty of evidence of.
This means that the alicorns in Skyros attached their two alicorn fillies to Starswirl who represented the ponies’ state of Equestria as a political gesture, which may mean that the ponies accepted Skyros as a superior power to which they had chosen to submit. Because when a family takes on the responsibility of raising a royal child, it is also a sign of acceptance of royalty’s superiority. Skyros and Equestria were not equal when the royal sisters were in foster care, and when these became adults, they were in a way Skyros’ agents in Equestria.
Why it happened is not explained because it is not known what happened between the founding of Equestria and the arrival of the two alicorns. But it is possible that the equestrian officials had realized that they needed a symbolic unifying object that could take the formal power to avoid division between the many fiefdoms. As you know, Discord’s invasion turned the whole situation upside down, opening up a centralization of Equestria into a unitary state. Skyros did not intervene, according to IDW comics, an international coalition had intervened in battle with Discord (and Cosmos). Instead, the arrogant “knights” from Cunabula had appeared, lured by the mysterious Harmony tree in Equestria, and this resulted in a world conflict that set the whole world back.
Skyros was almost forgotten in G4. It is possible that Opaline’s initial attack may have led to Twilight and Spike coming into contact with the alicorns. But, as we saw, Spike did not have good memories of Skyros and from what happened during the second attack, when Opaline with stolen dragon magic was defeated by Twilight. The Skyros alicorns did not intervene. Yet it was seen that they gave away their most potential alicorns to a young and fleeing state, which then represented their interests, possibly in conflict with Sombra from the Crystal Empire.
Why did Skyros stay away when Equestria was going through its greatest crises? Many non-G4 alicorns, which may appear in G5, have the word “Glow” in their names, which brings up the mystery of the mysterious filly Cozy Glow all over again. She was unusually talented with her alicorn powers, she knew the weakness of only having magic, and it was seen in S8-S9 that she did not consider ponies her own people. She looked down at them. We know Cozy Glow’s intended role was rewritten when the script for S9 was being worked on, so there was never any answer as to where she came from. The final scene in S8 shocked many viewers who saw her smiling and evil face, even when she was sent to Tartarus.
When the MYM finale came around, we saw the confrontation between Misty and Opaline - which revealed that the evil alicorn from Skyros has the same ideas as Cozy Glow when it comes to friendship, which can’t be a coincidence. Also, Cozy Glow and Opaline are unusual among ponies with their supernatural hair styles.
Something had happened to Skyros. And the New Mane 6 is on its way there.
