My new headcanon, after reading this bizarre and thoroughly awesome fanfic, is that Celestia and Luna are what remain of the ultimate slave race created by the high-tech ancestors of the Diamond Dogs of all fucking things. After successfully rebelling -at a horrible cost, mind you- the two sisters purged the world of all technology and named themselves after the celestial bodies, and started fresh.
It's weird, but hella interesting at any rate. |

@Impious:
I've seen you in other threads. how the fuck do you manage you come up with all that head canon? O_o |

I got my own headcanon to match or exceed yours in weirdness Impious:
Equestria and whatever world it exists on are part of a mirror or alternate dimension opposite ours. We exist here, and they exist there. We used to live in a precursor of both dimensions that was essentially our dimension and theirs fused. Back in old times, humans were the only sentient beings, fitting with our historical records. One day, for whatever reason and using some unknown magic/tech/mixture/etc., various animal species become sentient. Humans and the other species either live in harmony for a while, remain separate and confused, or immediately have problems cooperating. Either way, humans decide to cleave the dimension in half, isolating humanity. Humans likely either start over and forget their past, or pretend to while an elite few still know what happened. No contact between dimensions occurs for several millenia. Ponies (and possibly other species) subsequently follow suit, forgetting entirely or secretly remembering. Eventually, humans advance far enough that technology advances to the modern day, and certain governments or secret societies have learned how to jump dimensions. Humans find pony side of the original dimension, and choose to observe and record the various species, specifically the dominant equines, from afar. Humans find their ancient creations oddly adorable and amusing, and a company with ties to the government/society who found them starts creating toys and cartoons loosely based off of them. Seeing that there is little resemblance to the actual beings, they are allowed to be released and marketed to young children. A few decades pass, and the toys sell well, at the expense of accuracy and good storytelling. Various high-ranking people notice the shittiness of the storytelling and, for whatever reason (perhaps shits & giggles), recommend taking a cue from the recently popular entertainment of reality TV. Idea is mulled over, and officials decide the concept of an alternate dimension filled with talking ponies that are being recorded and marketed with toys based off of them is too insane-sounding to be taken seriously by even seriously deranged conspiracy theorists, let alone the public. Recording of ponies has been transpiring for decades to keep tabs on them, but recordings are now mostly focused on a central group of ponies, and altered and shot to resemble a cartoon. Cover-up of origins claims that a variety of cartoonists and artists are responsible for creating the show as a fictional word, as was done for previous iterations. Recordings serve even better than fictional drawings, with the two-dimensional look being a positive result of dimensional distortion. As recording begins with non-final characters chosen as central protagonists, "slice of life" episodes are prevalent. However, much of the life of the equines mirrors our own, which is to say, low on action except in special cases. Higher-ups express dismay at lack of entertainment, and devise a plan to fix this problem. Elite selection of various intelligent, strong, and cunning agents is amassed. Selection is established to enter the now mostly-understood alternate universe and influence beings and events to add drama and action, much like in an actual reality show. Selected agents are to act as invisible hands of fate, changing the destinies of various ponies and releasing or guiding various evil entities toward Equestria while either being invisible or mysterious, if goal requires obvious interaction with dimension residents. Known events transdimensional agents are responsible for include the release of both NMM and Discord, the attempted invasion of Chrysalis and her subjects, and various other smaller problems, such as the various falling objects and superstitious happenings, as well as multiple otherwise unexplainable events. Notable positive events influenced include many otherwise deadly close scrapes with enemies, the events leading the the union of the main six, and many other things as well. Certain duties agents also undertake include quieting of suspicion, memory erasure, removal of problematic or uninteresting ponies, and reclamation/destruction of unneeded or dangerous weapons/artifacts. Destruction is rarely used of the artifacts in question, reclamation is preferred for study and reverse engineering. Show production will continue until either one or several of the various important characters die unexpectedly (unlikely thanks to agent interference), an event occurs that prevents recording, suspicion reaches the point where it cannot be quelled, or there is no longer any entertainment value left in the ponies. After recording finishes, a new order will be dispatched. Nature of order is currently unknown, but is likely to follow mission plans A, B, C, D. A) Close dimensional rifts and recall all agents. (Unlikely, too wasteful of opportunity and resources.) B) Continue current operations of study and alteration to continue gaining more knowledge. (Very likely to be used, not difficult or wasteful of resources.) C) Scrap any notion of subtlety and use available tech and reverse-engineered magic to stage an inter-dimensional invasion, possibly with covert destabilization beforehand. (Most likely, as the other dimension possesses many useful resources, multiple as of yet inaccessible mystical artifacts, and various species that would make excellent servants and pets. Difficulty of such an invasion would be pathetically low. Human soldiers are, on average, 2-3 times the total size of an average adult stallion and are in possession of lethal modern weapons as well as prototypical magic or other energy -powered arms. Ponies only have medieval arms/armor, basic gunpowder-based devices, and various magics which have already been reverse-engineered to protect soldiers and weaponry or be used by said soldiers. On an odd note, when imagining the ease of such an invasion, think of the Combine invasion from Half-Life 2 and change the species accordingly. 7 Hour War made real, if they even last that long.) Either way, human dominance, whether obvious or covert is assured for decades, if not centuries. ----------------- Sorry if that was a bit long-winded and strange, when I get writing I just can't stop! Makes me want to look into writing fan fiction for MLP: FIM. |

Not even a chance. The humans would fuck things up right away and get their asses kicked all the way back to earth. That is if Celi and Luna feel like sparing earth. |

I'm pretty sure Earth would be fine a couple hundred years from now.
But by the year 2300, the only threat to mankind IS aliens. |

@Impious Are they called Engineers?
Do they use Xenomorphs to kill Races? |
