Sunburst and Moondancer could have a very healthy relationship

I don't see these two paired together, which is a shame! There's a lot of narrative potential for these two that could have been explored in the show.

Both are absolute knowledge hoarders, studying for the sake of studying and finding great fascination in a wide array of topics. Moondancer, with sciences, magic, history, economics, and pottery. Sunburst, with practical magic, artifacts, ancient history, Old Ponish language, and even geology.

Both are pretty socially awkwardly nerds that have history with a powerful unicorn friend. In Sunburst's case, him getting his cutie mark is what led Starlight down her whole downward spiral. Moondancer would experience her own downward spiral with Twilight's absence, as seen in the amazing "Amending Fences".

Sunburst has the baggage of essentially being a college dropout that worked with his limitations and became an important wizard in his own right.

Moondancer has the baggage of neglecting herself, her self care, her social life, due to feeling unwanted after putting herself out there socially finally. Her entire breakdown in her debut episode exudes years of that self-loathing and isolation.

I feel that, in some way, these two would emphasize with one another in a way foreign to the average pony, and they'd understand each other beyond social awkwardness and develop some pretty amazing chemistry.

A possible initial interaction. Bumping into each other by chance in a library, awkwardly chatting at first, then finding common interest in something totally innocuous. Like both of them preferring to use a bookmark over folding a page to save their place in a good book. That'd be a pretty cute dynamic, borrowing a book together and using a bookmark to communicate. Just one hypothetical interaction, of course.

How they'd interact can vary drastically depending on when in the timeline they'd meet. Moods and mindsets can be a very thought provoking thing. But once a bond is established, they could potentially be academic, magical colleagues, friends, partners even! Challenging themselves and each other to be their best versions. And maybe something beyond that between them.

I just think that'd be nice. I just like these two nerds way too much. Total missed opportunity.

If Midnight Sparkle defeated Sunset, how long would it have taken for the world to be destroyed?

In Equestria Girls: Friendship Games, Midnight Sparkle came into being from stolen magic from the human world's Mane Six, along with the dimensional magic of the portal. When it was unleashed, Sci-Twi transformed into Midnight Sparkle and immediately began opening unstable rifts to random areas of Equestria in random points in the sky and ground.

Sunset notes that she was destroying the world to get to Equestria. Sci-Twi herself later notes that she "created a rift between two worlds, almost destroying both of them in the process".

If Midnight had defeated Sunset in their magic beam clash, how long would it have taken for both universes to be destroyed?

Bonus question! Would everyone in both universes have ceased to exist? Would they have been horrifically merged together? Or would they just be trapped in some empty void without cohesion due to the collapse?

Realistically, how much destruction could Starlight Glimmer cause under the influence of the Alicorn Amulet and Inspiration Manifestation?

Let's discuss, is Starlight a universe or multiverse level danger at this point?

Maud begins her Canterlot Apology Tour with Starlight!

After the events of the Great Canterlot Earthquake, colloquially referred to as the "Maudpocalypse", Maud Pie has been visited by Special Agent Sweetie Drops.

After their meeting, Maud Pie has resolved to apologize to everypony inconvenienced, endangered, or traumatized by the results of her magical meteorite-induced magical surges.

Beginning her Canterlot Apology Tour in its infancy, Maud visits her first on the list. Her best friend, Starlight Glimmer. The Unicorn had felt the earthquakes from Ponyville, but was largely unharmed. At most, the aftershocks are just annoying for her.

But when she sees her close friend like this, she wishes she had been there to help! But she'll be stunned to learn the full context of what happened!
