If I told you that at this moment after reading this picture 4 times over and examining its contents I was confused that would not even begin to describe the situation |

So, wait, Star Swirl as a girl and got into the school by growing a beard?
Mare's Lib must have changed quite a lot of things. |

This is the best Star Swirl yet. |

You know, I actually think Starswirl is ancestor of Trixie. |

@Anon: Which part of "fake beard" is difficult to understand? |
| Anonymous #612864 9 months ago |
Based on things in the show I'd say its far more likely they were a female dominated society. Having a princess as leader for so long is one hint, and since its been so peaceful they haven't had to use males aggression to defend themselves making them slightly less useful. |

^What is capping and why are you doing it slowly? Or at all? |

Male ponies are clearly rarer. There's far more females than males. That kind of situation would change things - from a "One gender is just better at X than the other" situation to a "The minority gender is either worshipped or ridiculed". In the scenario of the show, very-most likely worshipped.
Of course, this is all not counting cutie marks. When you have whatever you're best at printed right there on your butt, any perception of gender-based talents go right out the window. |

#864 For insinuating that a significant portion of the value of males in society lies in aggression, I wish to punch you.
I am aware of the irony. |

Wow. Jazz is old. Unless of course that's his ancestor as well... |

I really REALLY like this concept. The idea that the beard was a gimmick and the bells were an extra snub directed at the school AND that she's Trixie's ancestor just all combine into this perfectly lovely headcanon that doesn't conflict with anything already in the series, nor anything likely to come up in the future, and that's the best type of headcanon. |

^^^^^^ You really need some Scouts on that point. You're capping too slow. |

In retrospect, a time travel spell to allow herself to learn the powerful ancient magics only allowed for greater irony. The question of if there ever was an original 'Star-Swirl The Bearded' would haunt Trixie to the end of her days, and not even Celestia could give her an answer. |
