But Granny Smith and a few others show that ponies do show age, but Derpy doesn't.
So maybe that kid's Sparkler's cousin or something? |

YES! |

Sparkler's the town babysitter. |

Do I have to keep saying it?
Best YOUNG Flyer Competition, Derpy was in it. |

*sigh*
It was presented that Sparkler is a member of a "big brothers\big sisters" type club. I accept that as head-canon. |

Derpy is immortal. I thought this was common knowledge. |

Or maybe they reuse expendable background ponies for things. |

Tootsie Flute is Lyra and Bon Bon's daughter. |

Dident we already agree that that pony was ditzys baby sitter? |
| Anonymous #713547 7 months ago |
you know, i would have agreed to the Big Brothers/Big Sisters thing until, what was it 2 episodes ago, when you had filly Derpy. I now say Dr. Whooves, cannon as ponies eating hotdogs. |

@ Benno
That's the craziest explanation yet. No animation studio ever recycles their background characters like that! |

Sparkler = Ditzy's Younger sister

IT'S SPARKLER'S VERY OWN STALKER! |

Why do people hate fun? Of course their recycled, everyone knows that. But saying that isn't fun. |
| Vree #713678 7 months ago |
I say Derpy is a grandmother (and a great-grandmother, and a great-great-grandmother) because it's sillier that way. But this whole conversation is silly. Not every two character seen together has to be direct relatives. That's just the fan glasses speaking. |

Derpy isn't just a grandmother. She's a time traveler. |
| Edudl2 #713689 7 months ago |
@DooFashion
Derpy really gets around then, doesn't she? Two to three kids (depending on your headcanon) and still young enough to qualify for the best young fliers competition? |
| Anonymous #713690 7 months ago |
Which is probably because Derpy was a filly in the cutie pox episode. |
| Anonymous #713696 7 months ago |
She's adopted? :P |
| Anonymous #713864 7 months ago |
In my headcanon, sparkler's babysitting that particular filly |

Time lord. Derpy's a time lord. Two google-eyed hearts and everything. |

For the last time,
Sparkler is babysitting Tootsie Flute for Lyra and BonBon! . . . . . It Ain't Difficult. |
| FlyingSaucer #714169 7 months ago |
Derpy is a communal hallucination inherent to every pony, in every age. That is why there was a filly derpy at school, and why Derpy was in the past. She is not real, but always there. |
| Zancrow #714776 7 months ago |
I think Anon133 got it right. |
| test1123 #715362 7 months ago |
Derpy went back in time to see the sonic rainboom with Doctor Whoove's help. |
| Anonymous #715787 7 months ago |
Derpy is not related to them. And Sparler and Dinky have another sister |
| forcedfire #715842 7 months ago |
its her lesbian midget lover |
| AcuteAngle #718202 7 months ago |
Benno is correct.
Which means any other explanations can work for fanon. Seriously, is there any way to reconcile the fact that Derpy appeared full-grown in Twilight's flashback in 'Cutie Mark Chronicles', took part in the Best Young Fliers competition in 'Sonic Rainboom', and appeared as a filly in 'Cutie Pox'? Unless you want to make Doctor Whooves canon and bring time travel into the equation, that is... |
| I_Like_Your_Mane #722692 7 months ago |
How about this:
Derpy isn't related to ANYONE in Ponyville? |
| Anonymous #748070 7 months ago |
I love the explanations where Derpy and/or Sparkler have non-standard family models but love each other all the same. The Doctor's well-meaning meddling being a factor would take this to a whole new level. Their family tree may contain curved lines and be a tangled mess, but that doesn't matter. |

derpy is married to Dr whooves and had two kids one is sparkler and the other is dinky. sparkler takes care of dinky while derpy and the dr are away. and mean while sparkler had a kid of her own? |
| Anonymous #849274 6 months ago |
in my head canon, that kid is dinky practicing a coloring spell that backfired on her |

She and Dinky show up together in the Winter Wrap-Up song. |
