Description
My own two cents worth for the glaring continuity errors that Going To Seed has created.

Why are you necroposting?
Most likely they meant to retcon Apple Bloom’s age no matter how much it contradicted prior works. Maybe the unreliability of the flashback was meant so those inclined could ignore it they felt it made no sense.

There is nothing wrong about taking My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic seriously and to do serious analyzing on it. It’s one of those shows with lore and interesting things hinted at that invite you to do that.
But the “analyzis” of Wild Stallions is inaccurate, because he wildly assumes something without any evidence supporting it (being that Diamond Tiara wasn’t yet born at the time we saw in the flashback in “Where the Apple Lies”, which he merely bases on the fact that she wasn’t seen on-screen in that one, particular, specific moment), so this upload isn’t giving the best impression of the fandom’s analyzing efforts.
I would commend him for doing that analyzis, he’s putting more thoughts into the show than most people do, but his lack of ability to reflect on his own analyzis and to accept it that he made mistakes with it and overlooked things, which leads to childish rejections of it if someone points out the holes in his theory, is making it hard to be happy about it.
For someone who attempts to analyze the show, he is assuming too quickly and has too much of a tendency to jump to rushed conclusions.
Don’t even bother arguing with him.He is one of those people that like to take a cartoon seriously.
I think you’re overlooking her saying she doesn’t even think of literal ages (the characters don’t need them, after all). If we’re talking human terms it certainly doesn’t make any sense for any of the main characters to be only 12 when they’re so much bigger than the child characters.
Try taking her statement into proper context. You’ve missed the important clarification at the end.
Horses become adults at the age of four, which would make the ages she specified adulthood. Of course, this was kind of blown out the water with the Season 2 finale, with Chrysalis likening Pinkie’s wedding preparations to a “six year old’s birthday party”, thus implying that ponies age similarly to humans in Equestria.
Here you go.
Lauren Faust has stated that the Mane Six are teenagers.
How did you come to that opinion? The mane six are all close in age, and it’s established that when they got their cutie marks Rarity and Cheerilee were in the same class. So they must be adults now.
Agreed! @SPB2016
That’s true.
Maybe because this is a cartoon that has shown to have a usually much stronger sense of continuity and character growth than most shows of its type?
Assuming she’s adopted is a far greater leap.
Characters in this show generally don’t have family names, anyway. The Apple family don’t all have “Apple” in their Name, and there’s a thematic relation between Twilight and her family but no shared words.
Diamond Tiara being Filthy Rich’s biological daughter.
She’s (as far as we know) an only child but wasn’t given the Rich family name. Sure, she calls him ‘father’ and ‘dad’ but he’s raised her for most of her life. Of course she would.
No I am thinking more like 8-13 years older, which might not actually discount applebloom being applejack’s daughter @Smitty1991
and yes each season seems to be close to covering a full year so the mane 6 would be the modern definition of adults by now.
True, but the Mane Six are pretty much adults at this point. @Background Pony #093B
Agreed! The CMC are practically teenagers by now.
