I'm imagining the teenaged mares running a Big Sister program where they adopt orphan foals and help to care for them in addition to playing babysitter.

So... are you saying we could be seeing Sparkler as Scootaloo's guardian? ![[lol]](https://static.tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pub/images/lol2v12_4863.png "[lol]")

Yeah, Hasbro still occasionally makes new G3 ponies for special events. I think they're meant to appeal to MLP fans who don't like the G4 ponies.

Those kind of people exist?

@Scootaloo being an orphan
One fanon theory I see coming up a lot is that she lives in the CMC's clubhouse. There was a comic about Applejack finding her and inviting into the Apple house.
Only three things matter to a hero: strength, courage, and nard-kicking ability.

sigh, if she DOES have parents, what do you think they're like?

It'd be amusing if Scoot's mother was into extreme sports.
Speaking of Scoots living in the clubhouse, there was a sadfic on EQ Daily about her meeting her untimely end due to a coldsnap one winter night, and she is forced to come to terms with her mortality. There's also a heartwarming comic of Applebloom and AJ joining her for a sleepover in the treehouse.

Seriously, what's widall the pointlessly depressing sadfics? Scoots dying in a blizzard? How emotionally manipulative is that?!
I always figured her parents would be REALLY boring, to justify why she looks up to the "coolness" of RD so much. She's what she WISHES her parents were like

I still like to imagine that Luna's pets are those bats which made up her cloak.
They can take many different forms
Batty would still make a great pet though He deserves a loving owner

Speaking of Luna, I was digging through old posts on Hasbro's MLP Facebook page and discovered this:
So I guess Luna being called a unicorn (in the prologue of "Friendship is Magic, part 1") was actually short for Pegasus unicorn (edit: or just a generalization)?

Well it's because she is no longer a blank slate that others can bend to their whims.
By the way. Is it odd that I usually don't care for the lighthearted comedic fics this fandom produces?

But isn't the show itself lighthearted and comedic?

It's just personal preference, I guess.
Or maybe it's because you've entrusted the light hearted side of this series to the professionals who work on the show, and you look at fanfiction when you want to see this series adapted into a new (oftentimes more serious) tone?
I can understand the appeal, but it doesn't personally interest me. At least nothing with narrative like a comic or a story. I can look at dark stand alone pics and music for instance

Pony Michael Bay is Scoot father, this is my head cannon until jossed (and I'm sure it will be jossed just like dead parents fanon).
Anybrony comented about Lauren last DA Journal Entry ? That picture showing how Reindeers and similar animals can look in MLPFIM.
They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

Personally, I find it interesting to see many different takes on Equestria, so sadfics, darkfics, shipping fics, and all sorts are all fair game if they spark my curiosity.

Pretty much. Besides, the humor in this series, while nice, has never been the number one reason why I tune in. Its the characters and to a lesser extent the setting.

I'm pretty much like you, Mio. With the added reason that I watch this show for its unbridled optimism. That's why I don't read sad/dark fics

I do like to read some sad fics (admittedly the Scootaloo one mentioned above is one of my favorites), dark fics I tend to be a little more discriminating (I tend to avoid all "horror" stories).
Despite that I do have my limits as well (I particularly hate dystopian Equestria fics).

Sad fics I find are too... sad. I don't like crying. Nor do I like to imagine these characters dying. Yeah yeah yeah "catharsis" and all that crap, well it doesn't work on me. It just makes me feel worse.
Under certain circumstances I'm okay with it (like with My Little Dashie for instance) but NEVER when death is involved.
