That would actually make a really good episode. Luna trying to help Celestia in the dreamlands or whatever, and Twilight trying to get the sun raised before too much time passes and crops start dying, and she needs the help of damn near every unicorn in Equestria to do it.

@Background Pony  

 
That’s always been my headcanon too.

@PonyPon  
That…  
Would be something I would watch.

@SeraphimDawn  
How? Put her in a coma and lock Luna inside when she tries to wake her up?

@YetAnotherBrony  
There needs to be an episode where unicorns raise the sun without Celestia.

Ponies can manipulate objects with their hooves because their hooves are made of the same substance as unicorn horns, and can therefore channel small amounts of magic.

@YetAnotherBrony  
I think the spell has been modded to the princesses to do alone, but the original spell is initiated by a small group and gathers energy from all of Equestria’s unicorns to be successful.
 
Think of it as a spirit bomb kind of arrangement.

Ooh, I like that! Since we haven’t seen whether the Crystal Empire actually has any sort of military (Shining Armor is Captain of the Guard, of course, but they’re mostly in Canterlot and surrounding areas), maybe the Changelings are mercenaries who are paid partially in money, partially in food (love)?

Though if worse came to worse, unicorns could work together and raise/lower the sun. The spell is buried deep in their subconscious, but it’s there.

We have yet to see what the Crystal Empire looks like at night, if they even have night at all. It seems underneath the barrier, the Crystal Ponies have a perpetual daylight source. I’m thinking other nations have their own Astrological/Climate systems too. Doesn’t make any astronomical sense? Well this a a cartoon, deal with it.

Another Crazy Headcanon I came up with. The Changelings are feeding on the Equestria wide magic aura from the Crystal Heart. You know, the one that was to spread the feelings of Hope and Love across the land if the Crystal Heart was powered by positive emotions.

@Sjogre  
BRILLIANT!

@gasmaskangel  
The changelings showed the ability to use mind control, as well as magic of their own. Putting the whammy on enough unicorns to raise the sun, or turning into unicorns and raising it themselves isn’t out of the question.
 
Hmmmmmn…
 
Headcannon: The changelings were planning on conquering the Equestrians and taking the duty of turning day and night for themselves. They would then use that as leverage to extort love from the rest of the world. As with the unicorns before them, the rest of the world could not afford defeating the changelings.

Diamond Tiara isn’t a little jerk because she has issues with her daddy. She doesn’t feel unloved or anything. She’s a creep because Chrysalis is her mom and is being raised that way.
 
The only reason she was afraid of Bab’s possible tattling was because Chrysalis thinks highly of manipulating behind the scenes, and very low of just scaring others into submission.
 
Filthy Rich has an odd taste in women.

@gasmaskangel  
There might be deity figures in those other nations who are equivalent to or more powerful than the royal sisters in terms of celestial power. They may be able to pry the sun and moon away from them.

The Mirror in Dragon Age series leads to Equestria when all those ponies were still arguing.
 
EQG is a future where the Dragon gods went up into the sky to join the Maker.

Equestria has virtually no standing military aside from the mostly ceremonial royal guard, as no other power on the planet wants to go to war with a nation that can inflict famine on a whim simply by refusing to raise the sun.
 
Thus the only real threats against Equestria are roaming criminals like the Diamond Dogs (who are too small scale to be a threat) or incredibly short sighted like the changelings.

@Sjogre  
Who knew how many virgin mares were abducted by dragons during Medieval Equestria. Another way to appease them was to offer them ridiculous amounts of gem, which was pretty hard to come by during that age.

Spike, like all dragons, can smell whether or not someone is a virgin. He just doesn’t bring it up since it only causes trouble.

Kelpies are a thing. Water-dwelling and earth ponylike creatures that feed on meat exclusively and change into a variety of swamp and forest plants.

@GargantuanBass  
Headcanon’d so hard.  
@SeraphimDawn  
Also this. That would make such a cool au fanfic…

Had Trixie kept the Alicorn Amulet on longer, she would’ve lost all rationality and become another Sombra type creature.

Gamer Luna does exist, but not in the way most would think.
 
Luna was too shy to go back out into society, so she spent most of her time in her room. Celestia offered her some rehabilitation, but since this would take a long time, she gave her a couple of games to keep her entertained. While it took a few weeks to figure out, Luna grew to love this strange technology…almost too much. She eventually began skipping her rehabilitation sessions, not wanting to stop playing in order to do so.
 
Eventually, she practically barricades her room, only allowing servant ponies to enter with food. Soon enough, she begins neglecting her own hygiene, and even begins to put on some weight.
 
Tired of being trying to be more patient (after all that nasty Nightmare Moon business), Celestia goes full drill sargent and whips Luna right back into shape.
 
And that’s why Luna was late to the wedding; she’d just finished that day’s workout and had to hop in the shower before getting dressed and attending the wedding.

@Alalic  
Thanks. I was thinking of using that in a fanfic if I ever got around to writing one. But I’m really lazy.

@namelessone  
Oh my, that headcanon is quite interesting. It would make for a very enticing background story for FiM’s setting.
