Hey, /mlp/. So I’ve been thinking: if for whatever reason the elements of harmony had to choose new bearers, who do you think would be worthy of wielding them? Would they stick with the main six, or would they choose completely different ponies?

For example:

Honesty: Could Apple Bloom grow into the role? Or maybe someone like Big Mac?

Loyalty: What if Rainbow Dash’s role was passed down to somepony from another town? A Wonderbolt maybe?

Generosity: Would Rarity’s influence be passed to someone like Fluttershy, or could somepony like Starlight step up?

Kindness: Could Pinkie Pie’s boundless energy somehow translate to a new bearer, or would it require a more quiet and reserved pony?

Laughter: Could Spike be the new bearer, or maybe even somepony like Cheese Sandwich?

Magic: If Twilight’s magic was no longer the one, who could replace her? I could see Sunset Shimmer being a candidate.

What do you guys think? Would love to hear your thoughts and headcanon on this!

here's who I think could step up:

Honesty: Apple Bloom seems like a natural successor. She’s already growing into the role and has that same strong sense of integrity as Applejack. Big Mac could also work, though his silent, stoic way of being honest is different from Applejack’s more outspoken approach. But I’d lean towards Apple Bloom because of her development.

Loyalty: Rainbow Dash’s spot could go to Spitfire. She’s fiercely loyal to the Wonderbolts, and her leadership qualities are strong. If it were a pony from another town, Thunderlane might be a good pick—he’s dependable and has shown loyalty to his friends and family.

Generosity: Fluttershy could definitely take over Rarity’s role. She’s more understated, but her generosity is shown in her quiet, selfless acts. Starlight Glimmer could also be a candidate, as her character growth shows she understands the importance of giving, but she’d have to leave her self-centered past behind more fully.

Kindness: While Pinkie’s boundless energy might seem impossible to replace, Luster Dawn could be a good fit for Kindness. She’s calm and understanding, valuing friendship in a way that mirrors Pinkie’s selflessness, though in a quieter way.

Laughter: Cheese Sandwich would be the perfect fit here! He’s fun, spontaneous, and always spreading joy. Alternatively, Sonata Dusk could be an interesting choice—her quirky, unpredictable nature brings laughter in a more offbeat way, much like Pinkie.

Magic: Sunset Shimmer seems like the most obvious choice. She’s grown a lot and her magical abilities rival Twilight’s. Her journey from villain to hero makes her a perfect candidate for the Element of Magic. Starlight Glimmer could also work, but I think she’d need more growth to fully embrace this role.

I think these characters could take over the elements, but they'd each need to undergo more personal growth to truly embody their respective qualities.

I get where you're coming from, but I don't agree with some of those choices:

Honesty: I think Big Mac is a better fit for this one than Apple Bloom. He’s already got that strong, silent honesty down, while Apple Bloom still has a lot to grow.

Loyalty: I can’t see Spitfire taking Rainbow Dash’s place. Rainbow's loyalty isn’t just about being on a team—it’s about being there for your friends no matter what. I think Soarin’ would actually be a better fit—he’s grounded and loyal in a way that matches Dash’s energy.

Generosity: While Fluttershy is generous, I think Starlight Glimmer has grown enough to take on this role. She’s shown tremendous personal growth and has learned the true meaning of giving, something that matches Rarity's heart and spirit.

Kindness: I know Luster Dawn is kind, but Pinkie Pie’s energy and joy is so unique. Twilight Sparkle could take over the role of Kindness. She’s naturally kind in a quieter, more thoughtful way, and it would feel more in line with her character.

Laughter: Spike would be a great replacement for Pinkie Pie here. He brings genuine joy and humor to the group, and his bond with the others makes it feel more authentic than just an entertainer like Cheese Sandwich.

Magic: While Sunset Shimmer is great, I think Twilight Sparkle is irreplaceable for the Element of Magic. Her connection to friendship and wisdom makes her the true bearer, not just raw magical power.

The main six have such a deep bond with their elements that I think it's hard for anyone else to step into those roles in the same way.

Are you serious? Twilight Sparkle taking Kindness and Magic? That’s absurd!

Kindness is Pinkie Pie's element through and through. Twilight’s kind, sure, but she’s not Pinkie—Pinkie is the one who radiates kindness and makes the world a better place with her laughter and joy. Twilight may be thoughtful, but she doesn’t have the unfiltered positivity and boundless energy that Pinkie does. Giving Twilight Kindness is like giving her the wrong element entirely!

And Magic?! Twilight has literally always been Magic. The Element is hers, yes, but the magic is so much more than just raw power—it’s the connection between friends. Sunset Shimmer would be the logical choice here! She's got the growth, the power, and the heart to wield it. Not to mention, her journey parallels Twilight’s in a way that’s so much more fitting than Twilight passing down the element to herself.

If Twilight keeps taking over other elements, we might as well just say she’s the “one pony to rule them all.” The whole point of the elements is that each bearer embodies something unique, and Twilight already has two of them? It's just overkill.

Pinkie Pie deserves Kindness, and Sunset deserves Magic. Plain and simple.

Interesting idea, but I don’t fully agree with some of these picks:

Honesty: Big Mac is a better fit than Apple Bloom right now. His quiet, unwavering honesty mirrors Applejack’s, while Apple Bloom is still growing into her role.

Loyalty: Spitfire might seem like a good pick, but Rainbow Dash’s loyalty is more about her fierce commitment to her friends. Soarin’ would actually fit better, as he has that calm, dependable loyalty.

Generosity: While Fluttershy is kind, Starlight Glimmer has undergone significant personal growth and could take on Rarity’s role. She’s learned the deeper meaning of generosity in a way Fluttershy hasn’t yet.

Kindness: Pinkie Pie is kindness. Nobody else can spread joy and warmth like she does. Twilight Sparkle could also fit, with her more reserved but equally genuine brand of kindness.

Laughter: I get the Cheese Sandwich idea, but Spike would be a perfect fit. His humor comes from his bond with the group, and it feels more genuine than just being an entertainer.

Magic: Twilight Sparkle is the Element of Magic. It’s not just about raw power—Twilight embodies the wisdom and leadership that come with it. Sunset Shimmer is great, but Twilight’s connection to Magic is unbreakable.

The main six are so tied to their elements that it’s hard to imagine anyone else stepping in. The Elements are about growth, and I think the current bearers have earned them.

Honestly, I don’t think Twilight would deserve any of the Elements anymore. She’s kind of the worst now. Like, the whole "Princess" thing made her insufferable.
Twilight used to be cool, but now she’s just all “I’m so important, look at my crown” 24/7. It’s like they took the most relatable pony and turned her into a self-absorbed diva. She’s basically the teacher’s pet of Equestria at this point. #NotMyPrincess
>>
>>42551518
Oh god, don’t even get me started on Twilight.
She’s literally the least fun character now. Remember when she was just a nerdy, socially awkward bookworm? Now she’s basically Equestria’s walking, talking “moral compass,” lecturing everypony on friendship like she’s the only one who understands it. We get it, Twilight, you’re the chosen one, you’re perfect, now stop making me feel bad about not having your life figured out! And her whole “Princess of Friendship” thing? Ugh. Overcompensating much?
>>
>>42551529
Seriously, she went from “just a pony” to “I’m better than you, bow down to me, peasants.”
Her entire existence now is just her trying to act like the most mature one in the room, while she’s got literal high schoolers still managing to be more fun and less pretentious than her. And don’t even get me started on how she acts like the magic of friendship is only important when SHE’S involved. News flash, Twilight—other ponies have friends too.
>>
>>42551537
Twilight Sparkle literally ruined the Magic of friendship.
She used to be a pony we could all relate to—someone who struggled with friendship and learned through her experiences. Now? Now she’s just that pony who has the answer to every problem before anyone else even gets a word in. So much for “learning from her mistakes,” huh? She’s like that one kid in class who always knows the answer, but it just makes everyone else want to punch them. Just let someone else have the spotlight, Twilight!
>>
>>42551540
Twilight is the reason I stopped watching the show.
Once she became "Princess of Everything," she turned into this perfect character with zero flaws. It was like watching someone with a monopoly on friendship, who basically told everyone else, "You’re not doing it right unless I approve." I miss the old Twilight—the one who failed, learned, and grew. The current one just... preaches at everyone while sitting on her golden throne. No thanks.
>>
>>42551546
I honestly think the show would’ve been better without her as the main character.
You know, when she was just a regular pony learning about friendship? She was so much more relatable. But the second they gave her Princess status, it all went downhill. The show shifted from being about friendship among equals to “Twilight is the best and everyone else is her sidekick.” It’s like watching the girl who peaked in high school take over every group project.

Trixie is the element of magic
Filthy Rich is the element of generosity
Cranky Doodle is the element of laughter
Queen Chrysalis is the element of honesty
Gilda is the element of kindness
Prince Blueblood is the element of Loyalty

If you put these six in a room together and forced them to work together under their new elements, how long do you think they would last?

>Prince Blueblood is the element of Loyalty
Where is it shown that Prince Blueblood is not loyal? He clearly cares for Equestria and his aunts if he is still a prince. Rarity was being a gold digger and I know some anons here never interacted with a woman before but gold diggers don't love you and only want your money and title status.

you fags probably all think the element of magic is about literal magic.

>>42551619
It's in the name, retard.

>>42551619
Lots of things are literal magic. It's an umbrella term.
>>
>>42551619
Why are you so stupid?
>>
>>42551456
Why the fuck would they be passed down to someone their own age? That's the most retarded shit I ever heard of. And you conveniently left out Luster Dawn, like you had in your other thread that got pruned.
So you are talking about s9 finale.
The elements will be passed down to a new generation of heroes that need to overthrow Giraffelight.
But being the tyrant that she is, she won't willingly pass down the element of magic. It will need to be taken. And that's for the new m6 to figure out how to do.
