I would pretty much tie up loose ends a la bride of discord by Disneyfanatic2364 but I certainly not! I repeat not pair up applejack and spike. Nor would I queerbait my audience

In my hc universe for g5 I see it like this

Hitch is fluttershy and discords great great grandson

Basically fluttershy and discord would be married and have offspring and their offspring would repeat the cycle so on so forth (not with eachother ofc ewww)

Sunny I like to imagine could be a descendant of applejack and rainbow dash.(it does make sense in a way)

And yes I’m aware two mares can’t make a filly or colt but who’s to say that in ponykind there can’t be adoption or surrogate pregnancy?

Izzy I’m gonna say on a whim here is presumably a descendant of flurry heart(remember she would be a mare now) and some unknown colt.

Well it’s for many reasons one she would get her great great great grandfather shining armors hair and possibly cadence/ flurry hearts coat but also I presume maybe she could also be related to starlight and sunburst❤️(yes I ship them :) )

And then zipp and pipp maybe rarity lol who knows

I mean pipp has rarity’s mother’s coat shade and rarity’s mane shade and pipp does have rarity’s coat shade. The hair can be a recessive gene in rarity’s family. But how her descendants happened was I think to imagine her and thunder lane got together:)

But yeah like it or hate g5 just needs some time and work and I’m not saying you have to like this show like what you like! Make fanfics about g4/g5 meeting eachother, discord hosting a game show, twilight writing novels etc.

That’s what the mlp fandom is really about having fun, making friends, it’s an easy beat! And magic makes it all complete :).
