So I was just watching Princess Promenade and I was thinking it would be fun to explore the idea of connecting the lore of g4 and g3 into a single timeline... Spike awakens to guide the new princess of Ponyville and the ponies insist that Ponyville doesn't have a princess - but the dialogue implies a period in the past where royalty did exist in Ponyville!
Personally I find g3 Spike different enough in personality that I don't LIKE to consider him the same character as g4 Spike but I want to put details like that aside for now. If there's a castle in Ponyville then it is likely to be Twilight Sparkle's castle, presumably the first castle that Ponyville would have ever had based on g4 history. So it would be interesting to think that Spike was sleeping beneath it for 1000 years to meet the princess of the future generation.
Clearly at some point the period of royal rulership of Celestia and Luna would have somehow come to an end. Hugely significant event because they're pretty much like immortal demigods and also catastrophic enough that after 1000 years they do not seem to commonly persist in the historic memory of Ponyville.
I haven't reviewed Runaway Rainbow in quite some time so I'd like to apologize if I'm getting the facts wrong but it appears that Unicornia still maintains the institution of royalty. My best guess would be comparing it to Cadance's Crystal Kingdom, I like how it fits together at least.
Also please bear in mind I'm only halfway through friendship is magic and there's lots of stuff I could be potentially missing but I find it a really interesting idea to play around with, what do people think about this? Has anyone ever gone into this before?
P.S. If we extended this timeline further then g1 would likely be a long time before g4 because when Rainbow Dash studies the history of the Wonderbolts they mention General Firefly as a historical figure from the past? I'm not very knowledgeable about g1 media however.
I started thinking about all of this because I wanted to convert Princess Promenade into a magical girl story for fun, kind of sailor moon style.. I forgot all the ideas I had for it though
