Couldn't Dinky and Sparkler be half-sisters, with the same father but different mothers?



Well this is certainly better than the alternative.

Oh oh, I've got a better one.

Maybe Dinky doesn't have an older sister. But she DOES have two mommies, and still wanted to go.

How? Adoption or magic, take your pick. Also opens the door for Derpy/Sparkler shipping.

At some time I'm actually going to have to finish watching the episode, aren't I?

Just watch it. It's not so bad, though I've no idea how it would be if you dislike Rarity... For me personally, it was better than Lesson Zero, simply because a Drama Mode Rarity is much more tolerable than OCD-Breakdown Mode Twilight.

Lots of people seem to be praising Applejack in this
episode, but to me she was just being Applejack as usual.

Yes, exactly. Characters being their usual selves is cause for shock and praise these days.

I've already made this point multiple times: Lesson Zero and onward were written without Lauren Faust. Signs of the writers managing to write the characters properly is cause for praise and hope because it means that the writers are capable of replicating the quality from the team under Faust. We're seeing progress back toward the season 1 norm, and that is a very good thing.

Wouldn't that mean the unknown colt would have had a child with his daughter's half-sister? You're making this far more complicated than it needs to be.

In all seriousness, there's nothing saying that they have to be blood sisters. Sweetie and Applejack were able to race together with 0 complaints.

Only because everypony knew Rarity and Applejack would have had to flip a coin to decide who got to break the neck of the first pony to complain.

But Derpy isn't sisters at all with Dinky.

Nonetheless, the easiest explanation is:
Derpy's parents are unknown.
Unknown colt is father to both Dinky and Sparkler
Derpy is mother to Dinky.
Unknown mare is mother to Sparkler.

Then, Dinky would be Sparkler's half-sister.

The way Dsarker imagined it, Derpy is half-sister to Sparkler and mother to Dinky. However, Dinky is half-sister to Sparkler. So, she's the half-sister to her mother's (Derpy) half-sister (Sparkler). And Derpy's daughter (Dinky) is her half-sister's (Sparkler) half-sister. Meaning that the family tree is very unusual and complicated.

Simplest = best, correct?

Ergo, Derpy got around a lot when she was much younger.
