Headcanon/personal fanon, let's see...

Lyra and Bon-Bon are a couple.
Vinyl and Octavia are maybe a couple. At least friends/colleagues.
Tirac/Tirek exists, and corrupted Luna into Nightmare Moon. I'd love to see that confirmed in-show, with said villain as present-day antagonist.
Zebras hail from an Africa-like realm. Not too far-fetched.
Griffons, on the other talon, are from a mountainous land to the north of Equestria, with mountainside fortresses and all that. For some reason I imagine a Russian-ish/Eastern European culture, with some Norse traits. Not even sure why any more. Will probably have to make room for some French influences, given Gustave. In any case I see them as an Empire, and not an enemy of Equestria, but still not very friendly.
Twilight's family was definitely influential even before she became Celestia's student, probably some kind of nobility. I mean, Princess as babysitter?
Celestia is not in any way evil. She genuinely means well for her people. However, she is a chessmaster, and does enjoy messing with the arrogant nobles every now and then. Are she and Luna actually deities? Maybe, maybe not. They are definitely immortal and very powerful, though. Celestia getting defeated by Chrysalis doesn't mean the former is weak, it means the latter was, at that moment, incredibly powerful. It's like Morgoth and Ungoliant, in a way.
Not quite sure what to think about pony rate of maturity. On one hoof, we have mentiones of "six-year old's birthday party", on the other we have Pipsqueak, who seems to be just about a year old. At least I'm pretty certain they have longer life spans than humans.
Sweetie Belle is a robot sentient biological lifeform, why would you think otherwise
I don't actually have a Derpy headcanon. Hm.

I like to think that the changelings reside either in an underground cave network, or in some sort of swamp. Since those 2 places have very little nutrional possibilities. It would make sense for them to have evolved to feed off of emotion instead of actual sustenance.

For example, I have in mine that bearing the Elements will, eventually, turn the Mane Six into alicorns themselves (which was inspired by one fic that had them, essentially, being immortal).
Stuff like that. :smallsmile:
That's one of mine, sorta.
-Anyone can be an alicorn if they want it and work for it.
-Some people are going to be alicorns.
-Pinkie Pie is going to be an alicorn, thus powers.
-DJ/Oct, lyra/Bonbon, Twixie.

I think getting Ponythread together on Cockatrice would be awesome. Though I haven't really played since Innistrad came out (I was just starting college).
My Cockatrice username is SadisticSeraph and you should totally add me. What formats do you prefer to play? I like EDH myself, but I'll play pretty much anything.
I caaan play EDH, but I normally play casual.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
My personal headcanon on Alicorns:
Spoiler
Show
They're immortal, and there are only a few at any one time.
They have the powers of all three kinds of ponies (flight, Unicorn Magic and the Earth Pony massive strength), PLUS a MASSIVE amount of power as it relates to their area. This area is, generally, related to their cutie mark. Celestia is so powerful overall because she can draw on the sun's power. Queen Chrysalis beat her because she was drawing on the power of someone's love for Cadence/Cadance. Ordinary love wouldn't have cut it there. Same with driving the Queen away.
All of the Mane 6 will become Alicorns, eventually, due to the influence of the Elements. Twilight's powers might be in the area of the Stars, Fluttershy animals, Applejack plants, Rainbow Dash the weather, and I'm not entirely sure about Rarity (gems, maybe) or Pinkie Pie.
Other Headcanon:
Spoiler
Show
Equestria is only one country, but their weather manipulation affects (i.e. drives and makes work) weather across the whole world. Other countries may be home to other species as appropriate.
Luna turned into Nightmare Moon by outside influence, possibly a Dresden Files style Demon (incidentally, the Dresden Fillies is part of my personal headcanon). If the demon had managed to corrupt Celestia, Daymare Sun would have killed Luna- I always got the impression Celestia was more decisive than Luna.
Celestia being unable to use the Elements is because she doesn't have her closest bond anymore (before the series starts) and because they're linked to the Mane 6 (after the series starts).
Speaking of the Elements: the Mane 6 will, eventually, be able to summon them by an act of will. Shortly after, Alicornhood. :smalltongue:

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
Sheesh, I'm a bit late to the party aren't I?
Best applejack moments:
"Every colour of ribbon down there but ... blue"
"Twalaght, git my rope"
Applejack accepting defeat graciously to the Flim Flam brothers.
Captain Applejack on the Seven seas;
Also, Anarion and others, you guys are really really really tempting me to join another RP on my otherwise crowded RP schedule ... can I get a soft reservation on a spot? Depending on whether my character will come together?

Captain's makeup I'll buy. You could argue that ponies tan by causing their coats to get darker, but the freckles should still stay lighter relative to the overall coats. Plus, fur actually bleaches in the sun I think.

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
My personal Fanon? Well lets see...
Spoiler
Show
Alicorns are not gods but just another pony species, one that is much rarer and stronger then normal ponies but no where near god level. Celestia and Luna are much more powerful then even normal Alicorns but still not at god level. Cadence is actually weaker then Twilight, and Shining Armor is on a socially higher standing then her. Due to interbreeding between the three tribes any pony type can be born to any couple.
Luna (and therefore Nightmare Moon) is stronger then Celestia. Celestia however is smarter and more experienced.
Whatever caused Luna to become Nightmare Moon has been destroyed by the elements, be it her own power or an outside source.
If Nightmare Moon won things would have gotten a lot worse but it would not have been an apocalypse.
Dragons are the ultimate blank slate and their form and color are part of their upbringing. (Spike is purple because Twilight hatched him, for example) Greed just makes them larger and dumber, but not older.
Discord's mere presence creates chaos such as pie rain. He doesn't actually create it himself. He has never harmed a pony physically and takes pride in that. The suffering of the ponies under his rule refers to the futility of trying to accomplish anything worthwhile in a world of chaos as well as an inability to act on their cutie marks.
Cutie Marks are both what a pony enjoys and is good at. They are not fate binding and can be extremely symbolic. Everypony knows what their cutie mark means as it will only appear when they've acknowledged their talent. While it is possible for an adult pony to not have a cutie mark it doesn't happen.
Because Equestria is as good as it appears. There is no secret concentration camps or grim darkness around the corner.
Males are rarer then females and as a result being in a heterosexual relationships are a sign of status. Homosexual relationships are the more common relationship. Most ponies do not reproduce.
Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash are in love and likely dating. Lyra and Bonbon are married. Sparkler is not related to Dinky and Derpy but is Dinky's foalsitter. Vinyl Scratch and Octavia are likely in a relationship as well. Or perhaps they are just close friends. Big Mac and Cheerilee are dating due to the CMC. Big Mac always kinda had a crush on Cheerilee.
Inkie and Blinkie are the names of Pinkie's two sisters. No Inkie is not Octavia. Twilight Sparkle's parents are well off but are not nobility or particularly important. They were able to help their children achieve their dreams but were not responsible for their success. All of the Mane 6 have full families that are mostly stable. Scootaloo was born on the ground and has never been higher then Rainbow's house.
Weather control is not unique to Equestria though it is not universal. The techniques used to control the weather range from country to country. Equestria is a country. Windigos have long gone extinct due to harmony.
Every background pony has an amazing and spectacular life full of adventures. We only get to see the Mane 6 however. Speaking of which; Twilight Sparkle pretty much runs Ponyville at this point. Mayor Mare was elected and the democratic process is unique to Earth Pony villages/cities like Ponyville. Pinkie Pie can alter reality but has no control over it, she also has no actual job and just helps out around Ponyville all day. Fluttershy is an all around animal expert who is sorta like the dog whisperer for ponies. She is also very poor as she spends most of her money on her animals.

However, if you would still have me, I profess myself greatly curious about Changeling. Even more than Mage, it is much lower-powered than I'm used to, but - as one of my favorite shirts says - myths and legends stir my soul. If you will have me, sir, I am yours.
I would have you know while I am forgiving if slighted myself, I am less so if I am witness to the slighting of another. On this one, falter not.
*Pause*
So! Fanon!
I'm remarkably transient in my fanon; I am prepared to accept almost anything as long as it's presented well. My headspace is a shifting cycle of whirling stories and contradictory alternatives - sad Trixie eating pinecones as she defeats ursa minors in the snow, Rainbow Dash shipping with everything. I accept anything that sounds cool at the time.

Well, most of the characters are female, and this fandom will ship absolutely anything. (and I do mean anything, there's a fanfic floating around somewhere that involves Rainbow Dash x the concept of shipping itself).

Re: My Little Pony XLIIV: Season II Ruined My Fanon!
So, there's this guy on youtube, who's done some analysis of the animation of Friendship is Magic (along with a bit on Avatar and Fullmetal Alchemist).
Watch. It's good, and rather interesting (and explains how they're able to get such high quality with so many background ponies).

alicorns are basically elementals, representing and commanding fundamental forces of nature without being gods or the like.
NMM is NOT a separate entity from luna. An alicorn's magic and emotions are tied to each other. Luna's negative emotions fed into bad magic which spiraled out of control until she was NMM
discord was a LOT more powerful than he was in the series, and was still weakened from his imprisonment.
flutter/dash will be a couple... eventually.
rarity is the oldest in the group.
edit: everything to do with derpy. mailmare, dinky, all of it.
