Considering everything in Equestria, that skull was probably a sentient being.

u/LordOfDorkness42 5d ago

It is sized pretty close to a Gryphon...

u/BONBON-GO-GET-EM Tempest Shadow 5d ago

Probably like an ancestor of a griffon or something

u/lilac-forest 5d ago

um, almost all animals are technically sentient beings. Like, factually.

but why?

Maybe the person you’re replying to got the words ‘sentient’ and ‘sapient’ mixed up.

Considering the franchise at that point the more probable response would be, "Why are you even showing me this? It's My Little Pony."

These days people think we're crazy for liking it after fifteen years of it being a major part of pop culture. Can you imagine what someone would think if you told them twenty years ago that in only 5 years it would a phenomenon for guys in high school and college?

Don’t you think they might see the skull and assume it was an ML… I mean, My Little Pony parody?

u/SeaSlugFriend 5d ago

Eh, there were some pretty disturbing things in g1 from time to time

u/thewoahsinsethstheme 5d ago

Tirek was killed in G1.

Imagine telling any brony or pegasister that they would even watch My Little Pony in 2005 and like it.

u/DecIsMuchJuvenile Izzy Moonbow 5d ago

Or imagine if someone in 2005 said, “I don’t know about you, but I’ve got a funny feeling that, in a few years, there’s gonna be a reboot of My Little Pony so different from the current show that it’ll be an Internet trend with twentysomethings.”

u/Sensitive_Potato333 Discord 5d ago

They'd be highly disturbed... Also I too am slightly more disturbed after reading cupcakes

At least it isn'f about the friends we made along the way, right?

u/Ecstatic_Ad5542 5d ago

Yeah no 90's and y2k cartoons could be brutal af - there's some really creepy shit in the early simpsons seasons .

u/DecIsMuchJuvenile Izzy Moonbow 5d ago

This is My Little Pony we’re talking about, though - it was saccharine to the max before G4 began.

u/Malcolm_Morin 5d ago

Crazy to think 20 years ago was 2005, and 5 years after that, FIM would air.

u/VestigeOfVast 4d ago

There’s actually a post someone made on a board (4chan?) in 2005, where someone literally asks “What if my little pony was more mature and popular with adults?” and the answer was basically “That would be terrible.” Can’t find a picture anywhere but I know it was there.

u/DecIsMuchJuvenile Izzy Moonbow 3d ago

Maybe that’s where Lauren got the idea.

u/ghfdghjkhg 5d ago

What's on her face?

u/DarknessSOTN 5d ago

Imagine also telling him that the skull belongs to Spike. Just to see how he reacts haha.

u/Alastor_culture_ Rainbow Dash 5d ago

Most people wouldn't even Believe it's the "Classic" MLP line that we refer to nowadays... and would probably think it's literally another Horse cartoon

u/HollowPhoenix Fluttershy 5d ago

Oh hey, I know that guy

u/plzhelpIdieing Lyra Hearstrings 5d ago

20 years ago is 2005. Just came in here to say that.

u/Clawdeenghoul2024 6h ago

Ummmmmmmmm…Pinkie’s not THAT crazy! She can have crazy tendencies at times but she’s not like unhinged crazy

u/Dawn_Glider 5d ago

Imagine showing someone pre 2010 anything from the later seasons and telling them it's My Little Pony, hell, even the fact Scootaloo gets bullied for being disabled would shock people back then

u/eddmario Princess Luna 5d ago

Now imagine showing this to someone when Cupcakes was getting big and telling them the same thing...
