== Usage notes ==

This off-beat theory is first known to have appeared as a fan comic<ref name="derpy" /><ref name="pear" />, although it is also conceivable multiple people thought of the same idea independently. Thus, it may be worth noting when "evaluating" it that it may originally have been seen as more of an exercise in creativity than a serious attempt to explain the shows.

Within the show {{book|Steven Universe}}, Steven and his mother Rose Quartz have been shown to be able to revive dying beings, including Steven's ally or dubious "friend" Lars, and a lion cub which would become a kind of sword-carrying fantasy mount. When they come back to life, both of Steven's friends turn pink, taking on the same color palette as Steven's Rose Quartz gem. Meanwhile on the show {{book|My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic}}, Pinkie Pie has always been approximately the same color palette as Steven's friends, and showed her own unique kind of magic abilities none of the other Earth Ponies or Unicorn Ponies are capable of, although these are generally unpredictable. Pinkie Pie and Steven's friends share a certain odd overlap in their abilities, including staying positive and hanging on in the middle of a bunch of drab, unwelcoming rocks, being seemingly indestructible at times, and being able to use their hair to store things. The final claim added to this theory is that the timeline of Applejack's mother Pear Butter disappearing does not clash with Pinkie Pie showing up later with a similar silhouette, especially if her lifespan has been extended by turning pink.

The biggest contradiction in this theory, interestingly, comes up entirely inside {{book|Friendship is Magic}} in the fact Pear Butter is only one generation up from Applejack. Pinkie Pie's parents have been shown in season 1<ref name="s1" />, which would imply that if Pinkie Pie was actually Pear Butter, then Pear Butter would have come from the rock farm. The show does not necessarily contradict this possibility<ref name="cn" />, and there could also be a very limited argument that Pinkie Pie is not a reliable narrator. At the same time, Pinkie Pie has been shown to be good at keeping track of information, and the show has given a relatively complete narrative of <em>Pinkie Pie's</em> life — if Pinkie Pie had abandoned Applejack as a child, she would probably remember it.

With all of this said, this theory is a fantastic prompt for probing epistemological concepts and approaches. People who have watched both shows will intuitively realize this proposition is silly, but beyond intuition, how does anyone actually know this? Imagine some out-of-touch old person who only has a relatively-detailed summary of the two shows, and has possibly seen one or two decades-old fantasy cartoons. How is [[E:Grandpa Ralph who doesn't watch cartoons|Grandpa Ralph]] to know that concepts from {{book|Steven Universe}} showing up in {{book|My Little Pony}} is impossible? Genre fiction is known to recycle some of the same literary motifs and mechanics, even to the point of mild confusion about where each of them came from. Rarely, a work of fiction may even incorporate parts of an earlier work of fiction as homage, creating deliberate ambiguity over whether a reference means the earlier work is part of the later work. Pixar, for instance, is known to add background objects <ref name="pixar" /> Based on only the content of two works, how does anyone epistemologically decide that two fictional worlds are separate? If {{book|Digimon}} takes place on a separate plane from the material world it depicts, how do we decide it could never take place in the same cosmos as <cite>Pokémon</cite>, and Tai can't go home and be a Pokémon trainer? If Grandpa Ralph saw any of the earliest episodes where the Pokémon world is full of regular animals, he might not find it obvious that Digimon tamers aren't simply living in one of the regions with no Pokémon.

Without appealing to the separation between authors or corporate owners, the task is not easy.

== [[User:Reversedragon/FirstNineThousand|Prototype]] notes ==

<ol class="hue clean data_urbanfantasy">
</li><li class="field_fantasy element_candy" value="618" data-dimension="S2">... one of the funniest probably-unserious theories I have ever seen. if you were some out-of-touch grapnda who only ever watched one episode of each of these shows you might have a hard time telling whether it's false. a large language model with insufficient data might just see each show as connected to fantasy elements and magic and themed names and tell you it's true. but at the same time, nobody who's actually watched both shows expects somebody to come up with this theory. how we recognize this theory as silly says a whole lot about how we reason. we pick up this completely unspoken intuition watching TV shows that each universe is separate and elements from it don't suddenly exist in other fictional universes. how do we know that? if we weren't allowed to point to corporate owners and copyrights and trademarks and we only had the inner contents of the shows, how do we epistemologically know they're separate? I think the answer tells us a lot about ideologies and whether people will be able to accept new models of how societies work. and not just new Bauplans of mainstream Marxism-Leninism or Kropotkinism or Deng Xiaoping Thought, but fundamentally, inner mental models of things like Menshevism and anti-racism and any change in society whatsoever. but funny enough, I think you begin fixing all that if you get mainstream Marxist-Leninists to coexist with Trotskyists, because the exact same basic difference between inner universes is manifest there.
