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!

Mmmh. I wouldn't knock you for this or anything, especially since I don't know your age or really anything about you, but you know the Moon doesn't orbit around the Sun, right?

I am a mathematician and have won champion in Physics Olympiad. Of course I know that.
It's just one possible theory of Equestrian universe, a hypothesis Lauren in the last frame proposed.

What if we've all visited Equestria in our dreams, but we forget whenever we wake up?

Is there a way to dream for a very long time?

then as much as pains me to say it nothing would happen until someone remembered. But its a happy thought.

Man, that gave me shivers. I loved it! Like a mini epic with a sad-ish ending. 5 stars!

I say that this human world is just a bad dream and one day Princess Celestia would wake me up.

Clever of you to catch that!
She's also holding a pony with "My Pretty Pony " colors in the first frame.

Destroyer of Head canons! Then again this is head canon as well hahaha

Man...at least the cousins from Narnia had each other.
Except for Susan.
Bucking bi___.

What's with Susan?
I didn't watch the movies after Narnia: the Caspian Prince.

Oh. I read the books (believe me they're MUCH better).
Aslan told Peter and Susan in the second book that they wouldn't be able to come back.
On the third book, "The Voyage of the Dawn Treader", Edmund and Lucy are the only ones to travel to Narnia.
It is mentioned that Peter misses it when they talk about it.
It is also mentioned that Susan thinks it was a child play and she goes back to her 'friends' and make-up and shopping sprees.
She doesn't remember the war and the YEARS of reigning Narnia as something real.

Holy Bonnie, Susan is such a boring grown-up. Also an amnesiac, apparently.
So if Susan considers Narnia as imaginary, how does she explain the disappearance of Edmund and Lucy?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Remember dissappearances to Narnia last about one second even if years are spent in there.
Susan was far away when Lucy and Edmund got sucked into the ship (that's how they get there this time),
but she could have easily been in the other room reading and not notice it.
Narnia is better off without such a mad amnesiac queen.

I know that's not how it happened, but I'll except this headcanon anyway.

You've never heard of headcanons!?

This is really nice. One note tho, you forgot her horn in the second panel (first pony panel).
edit - Nevermind, ignore me. I missed some of the implied progression there. Apologies.
- Polecat

Sprechen Sie Deutsch? Zunächst einmal, ich entschuldige mich für meine Verspätung. Ich habe nicht vergessen, Ihre benutzerdefinierten.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh, ich habe Deutsch selbst gelernt, weil ich Deutschland sehr liebe, und einmal in Berlin wohnen möchte.
Benutzten Sie Google-Translator? Weil »benutzerdefinierten« ein sehr sonderbar Wort ist.
Vielen Dank für Ihren Gemälde.

Nah, another translator, not google.

I would have used the word "praise" or "devotion", but I like the sound of the word "eulogy".

Or is there something we haven't been told? (I think we'd know if she was dead though, the fandom would be reacting to it.)
