Description

I would compile up a bunch of these minor factoids that are slowly arriving from various movie staffers, but they come out so sporadically at the moment. Have a 2-fer instead, cause these are definitely discussion worthy topics!
First off, writer Gillian Berrow has confirmed that Zipp is in fact heir to the throne over Pipp. A rumor was rumbling around the fandom that the two of them are twins, but Pipp is, in fact, older. We might be calling Zipp “Queen Zipp” some day!
And following that, we have a bit of an extension on what Imalou explained during her panel the other day. It turns out Sprout went through many different variations while his character was constructed, with costumes from the movie “The Dictator”, along with Gaddafi being the big draw for his final “evil” form. She also goes into detail about the past Dio Brando (From Jojo’s Bizaare Adventure) haircut he was rockin in some of the concepts, and how they eventually stuck with a slicked back look.
Both tweets are capped below for easy viewing!

People thought they were twins because a marketing bio said they were twins. Just a confused social media staff.

Hah! I knew it!
I’m glad.
I personally prefer ponies of the same group to be different ages. I don’t know why. I guess I find more diversity in it.
I guess for me, twins would have been boring.

I’m am aware of fraternal twins but everyone was describing them as regular (identical)twins, even thought they was never a hint of that in the movie or material and the movie material outright disproves that when Haven mentions Zipp is the crown princess implying saying that she is older.

Yeah a lot of people seem to miss the whole fraternal part of Zipp and Pipp being fraternal twins. My uncle and my father are fraternal twins, but you sure-as-shit can’t tell that by looking at them, for example.

I have no Idea how people could think they were twins. Their differences in height and body are night and day.
I don’t think you understand how fraternal twins work. They don’t need to be any more similar than ordinary sisters.

As well it was pretty clearly stated that Zipp was the heir in the movie and from her greater height could be assumed to be the older sibling.
People need to pay more attention.

Even with twins, one is still older. Zipp is older and the heir to the throne. That doesn’t discount her being a twin.
