Description
This is... my eulogy to the Goddess of Ponies, Lauren Faust.This is what I think happened that inspired her to create MLP: FiM. She was taken by Queen Celestia herself, lived as a pony in the real Equestria for several years, before being cruelly torn away, back to the human world. She remembers the Equestria through all the years; she draws Equestria, she writes Equestria, she dreams Equestria, Queen Celestia guides her.
Finally, she recreated Equestria in My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic, channeling the real Equestria through her memories into our world.
----Production Notes----
First half of the story is kind of like Narnia.
The first two frames are taken from xkcd.com/693/
Lauren Faust said that she originally intended Celestia to be "Queen Celestia", but it got changed to "Princess Celestia".
Lauren Faust's coronation dress was designed by QualityPones qualitypones.deviantart.com/ar…
----Interesting Bits----
Lauren Faust started as a blank flank, and through adventures, she gained cutie mark, horn, and wings.
Queen Celestia's cutie mark is a combination of the sun and the moon, because she is in charge of all of the sky, which is why her name is "Celestia".
Download for full resolution! So many little details went into this comic. Every single picture in the last frame was individually drawn.
You can see drawings of some of the Mane 6 in the last frame. Lauren Faust knew them. She actually met them in Equestria and befriended them!

If that would be the case then multiverse theories would be proven, being torn from a wonderfully peaceful world where your dreams come true then only to be sucked back to this D****** only in memory of them only to live for the rest of your life thinking if they were crazy.. idk thats just me

Imagine if all cartoons and anime were made like that

That'd be wonderful. I'd have a lot more respect for literature and a lot less for physics.

I'd rephrase the first line of the artist's notes so people don't think the real Lauren Faust is dead or something! Lol.
But man, that was some seriously dramatic work! You're brilliant.

Thank you kindly. Eulogy can also be a praise for someone who has retired.

Didn't Tolkien always say that he wasn't writing a story, so much as recounting what had already happened?

That is a good way of putting it.
This human world is a bad dream, and one day Celestia will wake me up.

Or perhaps we should strive to make the human world more like the Equestria we remember...

Of course, that's why young Lauren Faust is holding a pony doll of G1 MLP in the first frame.
The comic is about MLP: FiM

wow this is amazing!
obviously if one believes in alternate dimensions then one filled with magic ponies is not much of a stretch...
and worlds colliding is an obvious next step!

If our worlds collide, I hope Equestria would turn us into nice ponies.

I'd like to be a unicorn...
y'know... MAGIC! and all that...
Inkblot is a royal advisor, magical theoretician, and part time writer.
soon after graduating magic university he formulated a spell to make himself immortal.
it worked but it also turned a large part of Equestria into a desert...
the spell was banned and he was sentenced to three consecutive life sentences...
he was released after one and a half for good behavior.
his cutie mark is an inkblot but nopony can agree on what the inkblot looks like...
(the immortality spell may have affected other ponies as well, this is my theory to explain how granny smith could have witnessed the founding of ponyvill when ponyvill existed when celestia and luna beat discord two thousand years ago!)

TRUTH: Lauren Faust had an idea for another called Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls (check out art on her deviantart fyre-flye) but instead she was approached by (Hub?) to produce an animation for MLP, so yeah.
I forgot who approached her, that;s why it's in parentheses.

"I had approached Hasbro to pitch a micro-series pop opera for my Milky Way and the Galaxy Girls project, and it prompted Lisa Licht from Hasbro to ask me if I’d be interested in My Little Pony."

That would be an awesome way of how generation 4 of MLP was made, why can't most tv shows, books, or movies be imaginative and creative like this?

Doesn't "the one that got away" mean "an ex-romantic-partner that you misses a lot"?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The "one that got away" doesn't necessarily refer to a lover. I take it as something for which your feelings for are extreme, and it slips away; leaving a hole in your soul that will never truly be filled.
What I gathered from the comic, Equestria was her love, and it was taken from her. She then spent the latter part of her life trying to recapture even the faintest shadow of her time there.
Yes. I'd say Equestria is the one that got away.

I like this comic but... "eulogy"?! That word doesn't ring well when applied to a living person. Please don't jinx her. I think we still need her alive.

oh um
An eulogy can also be a praise for someone who has retired.

Thank you. I try to write stories that can touch myself.
