So I was checking Analytics for PC and noticed more traffic coming from Reddit (/r/mlplounge)

I checked it out, saw this discussion, and squeaked loudly.

THEORY: If Apple Bloom was 7 years old in S1 (as described in this early script) and if characters aged as the show progressed…

When writing Post Crusade, I had to think carefully about the ages of the CMCs in order to keep it relatively close to canon. AB was 12 when I started, and is currently 13.

I just found out that Apple Bloom had a scripted age and decided to (hastily) apply that and attempt to match it up with PC. This is the result.

TL;DR: If AB was 7 at the start of S1 and if birthday was in October like I had written, then she would’ve aged almost perfectly against PC’s timeline.
