Hmm, good point. Like, until very recently, China may almost as well have been a different planet from Europe, as far as the average person was concerned, for example.
I will ponder that.
forbiddenforeign planet”. Aren’t there places which aren’t the main part of Equestria but are still “native” like Tartarus or whereever it was the Storm King came from? I guess it depends on how “native” they need to be - if they need to be native to the same town as Smoothie et al there’s not much you can do.Aww shit, you’re right. Welp, painted myself into a corner there, didn’t I?

Fair enough. I suppose I’m just one for a straight forward approach. The only other idea I have would be Twilight accidentally giving the world a Genesis Wave reboot after messing up a massive spell, like what happened in the episode that made her an Alicorn. The Archie Sonic comics also did something similar, but on a bigger scale. When a Genesis Wave happens, everything comes out of it similar, but also changed in some way. Such a thing could rewrite the lore
You could try making an extra page explaining the retcon. I recall in a manga there was a character that the manga creators couldn’t decide if was male or female. One issue they were obviously a guy, the next they had more feminine features, and it just went back and forth. Until one day the released a page that specified the character had been solidified as a male. And then the character pointed to the viewers and said he was a guy, and to deal with it.
No, they’re not native. See Part 3, page 2, panel 6. Although I do remember Stellarator was sort of thinking about retconning that…

Technically the Sirens were only from another world in Equestria Girls. I think in this continuity, they’re native. Just really old. And while they were functionally immortal, I recall Twilight saying that they’re starting to age like normal ponies since their gems were broken.
And not just does she look older than him, but she does look like Bad News. Especially for a somewhat naive, sensitive boy like Peach.
[creepyvoice] I’m currently envisioning her caring a great deal, too![/creepyvoice]

I mean, I envision her caring a great deal. It (as will be established by a comment next page) has been in the family for at least a couple of generations. It’s just that even if she values it…she values her son and his happiness infinitely more.
The Mentally Advanced series by Dawn Somewhere (basically, Greg) handled this in a fascinating way during their series. AppleJack was really obsessed about having to find someone to marry who actually wanted to run the farm and orchard, and had given up looking for someone to love. She just wanted to find someone to give her kids and keep the farm running. The idea of the farm not continuing never occurred to her. It would. Somehow.
Hmm…those are a few things that the author would do well do think on…
To be honest, yes. Peach does seem potentially inclined to one day take over his family business. Even if he hasn’t said so. He was not only raised in the winery, he chose to seek employment in a bar, where he met Adagio. And he hasn’t been afraid to deal with a situation head on. He’s sweet and naive. But he’s also a hard worker. He’s also young. So it would likely be decades before he’d have to run the winery anyway.

Yeah. That’s something I’ve been thinking about. But like I said, not sure if that’s good WWBA material or not. XD
Alright then. The vineyard leaving the family would be a pretty big deal then. Hopefully they have some sort of relative the vineyard can pass to then.
I haven’t fleshed out all of the backstory 100% yet, but definitely several at least. How that will shape up…may be ultimately beyond the scope of this comic, but I find it an interesting subject. It may come up.
