Over the past several days, I'd been teasing at something related to the Elements of Harmony with black silhouette images labeled "HARMONYFILE" (in retrospect, a rather silly attempt to give this reveal a level of mystery). This is what I've been building up to (if you can call it "building up"): an alternate universe concept in which the Elements of Harmony are wielded by a different group of ponies -- specifically, the Mane Six's mothers. So whoever's been guessing G1 ponies, you weren't too far off.Why only the mothers and not the fathers, some of you might ask? As much as for gender equality I typically am, MLP's female characters have always been more interesting. There's really no deeper reasoning behind it. *shrug*I love alternate universes, and this is a concept I've thought about for a while but never got the opportunity to fully envision until we saw and learned more about the Mane Six's parents in the official series. The basic idea is this: somepony used a forbidden spell to take control of the stars and forcibly move them into alignment, causing Nightmare Moon to be released from her banishment twenty years or so earlier than she was supposed to be ("the stars will aid in her escape"). Because by this time most of the Mane Six haven't even been born yet, it falls to their mothers (who just happen to be in the same place at the time, just roll with it) to harness the magic of the Elements of Harmony instead -- which is why they've all been aged down by about two decades.From left to right, we have Fluttershy's mother, the element of loyalty; Applejack's mother (at least my version of her), the element of generosity; Twilight Sparkle's mother, the element of magic; Rainbow Dash's mother, the element of laughter; Rarity's mother, the element of kindness; and Pinkie Pie's mother, the element of honesty.I currently don't have plans to turn this into a fully-fleshed-out story. As I said, this is only a concept that I've always wanted to give a physical form in some way, and I'm glad to have done it. ...Even if four of them suffer from the dreaded "sameface syndrome". XDEDIT: In case anyone else asks, I don't plan to alter this image at this time to include Rainbow Dash and Applejack's REAL mothers. I'm satisfied with my alternate universe the way it is right now, and it IS an alternate universe after all.Twilight Velvet - sta.sh/0lba1cshghw Red Splendor - sta.sh/0a90o27056j Posey Shy - sta.sh/013eq6rp3ad2 Cloudy Quartz - sta.sh/01ucwrtu2q6b Firefly - sta.sh/01o6586vz5ca Cookie Crumbles- sta.sh/0lgehcm4yy1 My Little Pony Friendship is Magic ©
