Seeing that Cheerilee is a teacher and earth pony, I tried to implicate the same themes in all eras

For this one, I used a Medici model to give very southern-eastern European look which seems to be the trend among earth ponies. As this era was pre-the great blizzard, cultures between the 3 races were very distinct and the mixing of cultures was not widely accepted yet in this era. Consider it similar to a segregation of cultures and fashion. Back then it was a “one race, one culture” look. Quite common in the medieval era.





The 1

Equestrian Era I would see would have a fashion similar to those in the 1500-1800s. A very “pilgrim” and puritan look, this era experienced the first millennium of harmony and rule from the divine sisters. Luna and Celestia. A very modest society, ponies were quite conservative. It was a custom for pony teachers to wear black as a sign of simplicity and modesty. Teachers in this era were forbidden to marry for it was custom for a teacher to dedicate his/her life to the education for little foals. If they were to become married, they would have to give up their career.

This era saw the rise of Discord’s tyranny. When Discord overthrew Celestia and Luna, much of the land became inhospitable or impossible to access. As a result, society collapsed and ponies eventually separated into different smaller clusters for survival. Since most soil became infertile due to discord’s magic, most ponies turned to agriculture in order to survive. This was an era of suffering and struggle indeed. Ponies were also more or less, discorded in this era as well, and would not achieve liberation until another thousand years.

This era began right after Equestria’s liberation from Discord. An era that just emerged from years of famine, war, and chaos, Equestria was in a dismal and fragile state. Another 1000 years would take place before the land could fully recover. This era was inspired between the 1900s-1950s. A very conservative-ish era, Equestria saw the rise of technology, infrastructure, art, and society once again flourished under the two sisters. Society here was very proper and traditions were very much valued. Cultural revolutions were very scarce under Princess Luna’s strict ideology of upholding tradition. There was also great tension between Luna’s Traditionalism and Celestia’s Progressivism in this era which was also heavily reflected among their subjects influencing the fashion and societal norms. This divide grew until Luna’s rebellion and banishment.

With the banishment of Luna, this era began the fluctuations of society, cultural norms, and fashion trends. As ponies became more liberal, even extremely at some point, cosmetic makeup became quite common. Pony teachers were now able to marry and still keep their career as a teacher. As cultural revolutions exploded throughout society, music and art became more unorthodox and free range rather than the traditional proper dances like balls or soirees. This was not met with difficulties, however. With Luna gone, much of society’s ancient and unique cultures slowly began to fade away. As globalization expanded, much of the cultural sites which held invaluable years of history, knowledge, and beauty were destroyed to give way to a rising equestrian population. Many temples and monuments dedicated to Luna and the moon were abandoned or demolished. The environment also suffered great losses due to a boom in industry, trade, and population growth.

The return of Princess Luna saw the beginning of a new millennium and the return of harmony to Equestria. As cultural swings began to fade, many ponies reverted to a more moderate and natural middle between the modest eras and the “great swing” of the Solar Era. The return of once lost Empires returned and perhaps will be recorded as one of the most peaceful eras in Equestrian history.
