Lilac's G5 rewrite & mlp world building

What the title says. Main @Lilacs-stash. Fae/they.

Intro

Hi I'm @lilacs-stash (fae/they) and I've been into mlp since I was a small child so I have THOUGHTS and OPINIONS on how it's world works.

I try to be canon compliant for the most part but at this point I've given up on having solid theories due to the lore being messy, and thus these are more headcanons then anything.

I only try to be canon compliant with G4 however, G5 is completely rewritten so it actually works in friendship is magic's world.

This project is very much a work in progress and most things are subject to change.

I highly encourage sending asks as my interest in mlp goes in and out and that's the best way to keep me active here!

And for anyone wondering: the project is called Wisteria because that's the name of the place G5 takes place in (named after one of my favorite G3 ponies)

---

Tags are sorted into different kinds of lore (alicorn lore, dragon lore, etc)

World building is for more general stuff like magic and geography

And everything is shorted via time periods. Which I haven't fully figured out but for now are: friendship is magic, next gen, and mlp G5 (Which are the G4 show stuff, fankids of the G4 show, and the G5 rewrite respectively)

Art and videos are just tagged that. Nothing fancy there.

Reminder Nickel's favorite pony is officially fluttershy and I love that for him

So G5 has ended which makes these characters mine now /silly.

Recently I've realized some stuff and I've come to the conclusion that my G5 rewrite works better as a whole if I completely separate it from FIM's world. I'm still going to use a couple FIM characters in this but they will be changed to better fit the rewrite. In the meantime I'm going to try to post all the concept art from the old version of my rewrite and explain what I was planning to do with the story

Wisteria!Twilight ref

From left to right: Canterlot Ponyville young alicorn

I am so happy with this Twilight design you have no idea. It's a lunar unicorn/alicorn. Her story is pretty much the same in canon up until she becomes queen so not much to add here. I plan on doing another design for when it's queen but that's gonna take a lot more concept art.

The sun on her scarf is a key that let's her into restricted areas of Canterlot castle

Still figuring out the polycule but I know I want it to be married to RD in the next gen stuff.

(This also doubles as a Februpony post! Day one: mane six)

[mlp-wisteria]

Thinking about editing this design a little bit. Just the ponyville and young alicorn versions. I feel like they're not as good as the canterlot one

Queen Twilight Sparkle of equestria, element of magic, immortal of unity

Pronoun check! Twilight - She/it

So this was my first draft of Queen Twilight. The idea was to make her look balanced, as the in between of night and day. Well the design is very pretty it's also over complicated and not animation friendly (which I try to keep my designs as), and that's just with the base + crown.

Here's take two, and what'll probably be its final design (give or take A few minor adjustments). She's ment to resemble the spirit of harmony itself, and has lost all her original color, with her becoming A dark purple with light markings. The pink highlights being replaced with the rainbow of its friends coats.

She tries to look mortal, as approachable as possible. And thus keeps her mane in a bun and her regalia to a minimum. The feather on its necklace is from its wife, Rainbow Dash, who at this point has been gone for hundreds of years. The ring on her horn is from her current wife and co-ruler, Sunset Shimmer.

This is Twi by the point of G5, it looked much different at the end of G4.

Zipp body type concept

Btw I have no idea how much of Februpony I'm going to do. Right now all I want to draw pony wise is Crystal empire related so we'll see what happens

Comic!Sombra is my blorbo who has one million problems and also causes one million problems

Here's some concept art for what Wisteria!Skystar looks like, as mentioned in this post she is the daughter of Celestia and Novo. She's either going to be a lesbian or omni and shipped with Ember and Thorax (who'd be nonbinary)

She has the ability to transform without the need of the pearl due to her horns!

[lilacs-stash]

Today I bring to you a theory/headcanon/thingy.

Celestia and Novo are exs and skystar is their daughter.

Around thirty years ago, Celestia Attempted to become allies with Mount Aris. Equestria seemed stable enough, maybe it was time to see what the rest of the world was doing. This is how she met Novo.

The two ended up falling for each other. Normally, Celestia would never marry, knowing she'd out live her lover. But when Novo Proposed she said yes. She adored her. (+ the Political benefit were great sooooo)

They got married at mount aris.

The two still spent most of their time in their respective kingdoms, but often came to visit each other.

And eventually, they had an egg. But before it could hatch, Celestia was called back to equestria for some kind of emergency. That's when the storm king attacked. By the time Celestia could get back, the Hippogriffs were no where to be found.

Both she and Novo were heart broken. Novo specifically felt betrayed by Tia for not being there when her kingdom needed her.

Sky star hatched months later. Never getting to meet her mother. Until....

Until the events of the movie. After that the two Queens reunited and talked things out. And Sky star got to meet her mom.

Zipp Storm designing

So here we have my first attempts them. And yes, Stormblazer is canon in this rewrite cuz I genuinely wish they were canon in the show. No base was used I traced that from a screenshot. They're based on this concept art.

Well I like this design on it's own, it doesn't fit super well with the other mane six's designs. I also think it's a bit over complicated and it removed my favorite thing about Zipp's canon design (that being the color scheme being the trans flag).

Zipp 2.0 only exists in one drawing, this one. When I was testing out foal designs for them and Pipp (the Pipp one is very close to her final version but that's for another time). The base is by Strawberry-Spritz on deviantart.

And this is what I settled on! Yeah it's really similar to their canon design but that's okay! It doesn't need to be super different, it just needs to fit them. It's not fully done as I need to figure out their body type and such but I got most of it done. (Base by @moccamoo)

(Plz use they/them for Zipp on this post!)

these two are Lyra and Bon Bon's kids and no one can tell me otherwise
