The following is a collection of headcanons I have about the show. (many of which are death-related, but atleast this stays out of article comments)

Pinkie Pie's reality-bending powers
Cartoonish gags, Pinkie sense, etc.? You stop questioning her after a while - she's Pinkie Pie. She does what she wants!

But I think she got them from the Sonic Rainboom, being the only pony to come into direct contact with it. And I think her powers rubbed off on Cheese Sandwich when she inspired him.

Rarity's Revenge
When Rainbow Dash leaves Rarity behind with Pinkie Pie in The Last Roundup, Rarity says she'll get revenge on Rainbow Dash. And on that cart she'd have plenty of time to scheme with Pinkie Pie...

So when Pinkie Pie tells all the ponies in Ponyville about her plan to camp out EXCEPT Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy, thus deliberately keeping her from cider, I think Rarity put her up to it.

Queen Chrysalis's fate
Unless you're a newcomer' you've all heard this one.

I think Queen Chrysalis fell to her death after being blasted over the edge of Canterlot by Shining Armor and Princess Cadance. Look how high up the mountain it is (though some could argue her skin acts as armor), and they show it's a desert wasteland in the distance (Badlands) so no chance she landed in water.

As to why Thorax is still alive when he was part of the attack, I think he was resistant to the blast due to his good nature (it didn't affect the ponies, did it?). He also said he wanted to bring his knowledge of friendship back to the changeling kingdom and reform the changelings there, so I can just say Chrysalis left some changelings behind when she attacked Canterlot. Because he never explicitly mentioned Chrysalis being alive, and does he honestly think she can reform?

'''To be removed if she is the villain of To Where and Back Again. '''It could be her, but then again, Nightmare Moon, Discord, Sombra, and Tirek technically "returned" from their first defeats a thousand years ago so it could be a new villain.

Crystal Empire when Sombra took over
I think Sombra killed Princess Amore when he took it over. (comics have a different version of it, but I'll address that below)

I won't be too dark, however - I'll say there happened to be no babies there at that time (since Flurry Heart is said to be the only baby there, and she was born after Sombra was killed).

For Sombra himself, I'll say he's just a really powerful unicorn who gave himself demonic enhancements (shadow form was created by the princesses), and the Crystal Heart killed him because he was pure evil and had no good in him. (as opposed to the comics, where it had that effect on him coz he's an Umbrum)

Lord Tirek's imprisonment
The Mane 6 blasted Tirek with a rainbow and he appeared powerless in Tartarus, imprisoned in a cage. To most, they just de-powered him and teleported him there, conjuring the cage around him, but I think it might run deeper than that.

If Rainbow Power can conjure a cage, why couldn't it fix Twilight's library or the playground equipment? Also, if Tirek had died, where would he have ended up? Hell, which also goes by the name Tartarus in Greek mythology. So I think Tirek was destroyed and his imprisonment in the cage is eternal damnation.

I know what you're going to say - he was imprisoned there alive once before, and imprisoned the princesses there as well when they're clearly still alive. Well, so as to not cheapen the deaths, maybe the damned souls are invisible and noncorporeal to the living there, like on a different plane. Most damningly - pun intended - three cells of Tartarus are shown - Tirek's is the only one glowing. Maybe glowing cells denote damned souls.

But then again, that's my headcanon.

Also of note, I'm pretty sure it was him in the Castle of the Two Sisters - after escaping from Tartarus, he hides out there until he's strong enough to start stealing magic again.

The Dazzlings' fate
At the end of Rainbow Rocks, the Rainbooms destroy the pendants giving the Dazzlings all their power. They sing horribly and run away. Twilight implies they'll continue to live as regular teenage girls.

However, anyone who's seen Tangled, Heroes, The League of Extraordinary Gentlemen, Atlantis: Milo's Return, Sailor Moon Crystal, and other such shows could possibly understand what might have actually happened.

There's a TV Tropes called "No Immortal Inertia", which means a human or mortal is kept young forever by a magical source of immortality, and when that source is taken away or destroyed, they age to where they'd be at without it. And if they're hundreds of years old or so, they age into dust, or a skeleton.

The Dazzlings went through the portal and became humans over a thousand years ago, so their pendants are the only things keeping them alive for all those years. When they were destroyed - I imagine the process took a matter of minutes since they had time to sing and run off the stage, but by the film's end they're most likely dust.

I wouldn't mind MLP making an exception to that rule and bringing them back, but only for redemption, though there is a lack of return value since they can't sing and their songs are the main thing we like about them (plus I have kind of a soft spot for Aria).

Ashlands timeline
In the alternate future that's a bleak desolate wasteland, I think Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, and Tirek came to power at once and fought over Equestria, completely destroying it and everypony there, including themselves.

Daring Do's enemies
I think Dr. Caballeron, Rogue, and Withers got eaten by that dragon thing that was chasing them, something happened to Biff and the Pat Roach pony that was too violent to be shown (look what usually happens to Pat Roach's characters), and eventually Ahuizotl will open up an "Ark of the Covenant" containing G3 causing his face to melt. (to those here who like G3, maybe replace it with something like Dora the Explorer)

Flim and Flam
Were they reformed at the end of Viva Las Pegasus or are they back to their old tricks?

I think they left it ambiguous, but I'd like to think that they just said that "once in a lifetime" at the end to annoy their old rival Applejack. They run their own place now that the shadier Gladmane is gone, without any competition, so maybe this is a conclusion to the Flim and Flam arc and, while maybe not entirely reformed, won't be pulling the same kind of trick they did in the first two. (Also, if the resort doesn't already have a casino, maybe they open one up there...)

Comics - Canon or not
I'd say the comics are set in a separate parallel universe from the show. Still canon, but not set in the same universe as the show. Think multiverses, like the end of the animated Spiderman series. (I even think the same for the Dragonball Z movies now)
