Not sure if people are still doing this wfewofjiew but!! If I were to make a new generation of My Little Pony, I'd like to involve like the original g1s with elements inspired by like their g3 or even g4 versions! Basically taking things I'd like and making a new gen out of it haha. So for Blue Belle, I made her into a crystal pony that's out looking for blue bells and also possibly a special blue bell unlike the rest!
alternatively, you can pick the one that ✨least scarred✨ you as a child! and then go have an 80s fantasy-themed party to celebrate! glitter is mandatory!
'You were never king.'
Felt like drawing some king sombra, ramble on his story belowww,,
___
Once an ambitious and cunning soon-to-be future leader of the crystal empire, turned into one of the most corrupted unicorns in all of Equestria.
Sombra was never actually royalty, and the Crystal Empire's beginnings lacked a true hierarchy. However, due to his exceptional talent and mastery of magical arts, the residents noticed his power and decided to consider him as the next in line for the throne, 'King of the Crystal Empire,' under strict monitoring. This continued until he discovered that Princess Mi Amore Cadenza was given the title to rule the entire Crystal Empire once her training was completed. Sombra questioned why she was chosen over him; was it simply because she was an alicorn? Surely, that couldn't be the only reason, although it was what Sombra thought at the time.
During his training, Celestia and Sombra were once students together, delving into forbidden magic as it was deemed necessary for future leaders. They supported each other, reminding themselves of the importance of maintaining balance since such magic was forbidden for a reason. It then became evident that Sombra delved further into this magic in secret, a path one should never tread alone. Upon discovering that he used dark magic to manipulate decisions, they stripped him of his royal title and banished him from the Crystal Empire. Nevertheless, the years of training were not in vain, as he turned rogue against the empire after that. In a fateful confrontation, Sombra learned that it was Celestia who had taken Princess Cadence under her wing, making her as a potential future ruler of the Crystal Empire, thanks to Luna. The revelation further fueled Sombra's bitterness and resentment. Celestia attempted to reason with him, seeking to make amends, but his exposure to dark magic had irreparably corrupted him.
Believing that he had been next in line for the throne and feeling betrayed by the influence of an alicorn, Sombra reached his breaking point. His ambitions and sense of entitlement ultimately led him down a path of darkness from which there seemed to be no return.

Yeah don't know if this would be 100% headcanon but I just needed to get some story out, enjoy!!
Lil indulgent headcanon that Twilight's still around but she disguises herself as a traveling earth pony librarian named Velvet Starshine (Argyle's mommy hehe). Her little necklace is charmed and disguises her appearance. She never ages so she moves towns constantly and never gets too attached to anypony no more.
Ohhh, that's a tough one! Most G4 ponies have such bad hair that G5 gets the edge with their molded hair ponies; I'd rather have ponies I can't brush at all over ponies with bad synthetic hair. High quality nylon or nothing!
However, G4 does have a wider range of characters (even if there were still way too many Mane Six). For example Heartstrings and Sea Swirl are very pretty.
The G4 baby sea ponies set cements this as a G4 win; they're super cute and there were eight of them.
