So? Derpy’s a frikin’ background character and yet she has at the very least 2-3 back stories made by the fandom as a whole.
@PonyPon
Don’t worry, I was only joking anyhow^^
@Lathius
Certainly one of the better explanations out there. Of course, he would actually be king then—King of the Unicorns—but perhaps Sombra’s existence made the term unfavourable. Like calling your child ‘Adolf’, even though it’s a perfectly servicaeble name.
But Trixie started off as an antagonist, and ended her episode with an incomplete arc.
Blueblood is…just a self-centered douchebag.
That’s actually really darn good, too. And I’ll have to remember the term “headfanon”, as that is more accurate.
oh, so there are others out there who ship it? it seems so rare…
My head-fanon for Blueblood is that Celestia and Luna were not born Alicorns/Princesses and rose to the position the same way Twilight and Cadence did, however when Cel and Luna took over from Queen Platinum the Queen still kept her bloodline in royalty and that is where Blueblood comes from, and possibly why Celestia and Luna don’t take title of Queen.
I be he.
One of those TwiBlood-shipping shmucks.
i’ve seen that name around threads, but i don’t know him/her, and i don’t know what you mean by that.
Who cares? It gets heard either way!
Nonono! Don’t do that! You’re stealing PonyPon’s thunder!
Maybe not major villain, but he could prove an obstacle.
Hey, if Trixie almost managed it, how hard could it be?
“Starswirl the Bearded” started off as a throwaway name, literally “obscure unicorn history”…but then later on in the season, suddenly he was this ultra-important historic figure, completely out of nowhere.
Having a “character arc” about Blueblood in the given fashion would be the same thing. Having him start off as a 1shot jerk character and then having him suddenly be some kind of major villain? wat.
On the other hand, we’ve not spent much time with Celestia, and when we have it’s pretty much always been when she’s with Twilight.
Still, my headcanon for Blueblood has always been that he’s very distantly related to Celestia (think how distant Pinkie’s supposed connection to Applejack is, yet she’s still called “cousin”), but plays up that distant relation to inflate his own importance among the Canterlot elite. (And I fully realize that if Blueblood is ever used again, this headcanon is likely to become null and void, so I don’t cling to it very tightly.)
But it is odd that she has never even mentioned nor interacted with him when he is supposedly her nephew. Then again, Cadance and Celestia have barely interacted, despite Cadance being Celestia’s niece. Just how many nieces and nephews does Celestia have? And is she actually close to any of them?
I agree with you, actually. Celestia’s behaviour as it’s been shown so far doesn’t suggest she’d indeed leave him by the wayside.
There’s a reason I replied to that specific comment: it’s the one that explicitly blamed Celestia for Blueblood’s jealousy. There are ways to reach the pictured scenario without dumping the blame on Celestia (e.g., Blueblood, used to having most of Celestia’s spare time to himself, resented having to share it with Cadance, Twilight, Spike, and later, Luna); instead, albert19 decided that Celestia unjustly ignored Blueblood for her newer relationships.
People generally prefer villains/antagonists with believable/understandable reasons. They don’t have to be true, mind you…
Why do so many people in the fandom want to blame the protagonists for the antagonists’ actions?
Well, Detective Tritter was arguably a bigger jerk than House, so I guess he would know.
How?
Say what now?
@Psychopomf
I’m still debating whether the fanbase would react with approval or rioting.
Juuust like Trixie.
Which means they should totally date.
Though it would be an asspull on the same level as Starswirl.
