Let's discuss timelines
Which one was your favorite?
King Sombra one was perfect.
Futuristic ponies, war, evil king trying to take over Equestria.
Movie, now.

>>25578061
Discord's. He not only won, he even made the princesses his personal clowns. It's a world devoid of hope.

Nightmare Moons future honestly didn't seem that bad

>>25578061
Discord one of course. why? because it's not so bad, you just have to join the fun
>>
I think the Bug one was the least edgy, i liked that one
>>
>>25578061
Sombra is based. BASED.
>>
>>25578061
Sombra was the most autistic
Discord was too short but made the most sense
Chrysalis didn't make sense at all (how did any of this happen with an altered timeline?) but looked kinda cool I guess
Fucking dead Equestria was alright
Flim-Flam what the fuck?
Tirek was pretty much just a copy-paste
NMM was cool, tourists? Can't be that shitty
Forgot the other ones
>>
At least the Sombra one presented them a CHANCE of ending the war. In basically all the others, hope was just right out fucked.
>>
The Sombra one was the best in terms of execution and being explored to some worthwhile extent, but the Discord timeline had the most potential for me. I would have loved to have seen more of it.
>>
>>25578061
This. But then again, that's only cause we had the most development with that timeline.

It was pretty cool tjhough
>>
>>25578458

and what exactly do you expect WAR to look like?
>>
>>25578061
Discord and Nightmare Moon

>>25578547
>Chrysalis didn't make sense at all
>Chrysalis takes over Canterlot
>Chrysalis begins conquering rest of Equestria
>Zecora takes as many ponies as she can it the Everfree
>Chrysalis hears of her village
>Chrysalis goes to en slave them for their love juice
How does that not make sense?

>>
>>25578557
I'm guessing cause the war with Sombra was conventional, while the others had supervillains. I wouldn't think Chrysalis's army would be worse than Sombra's, though.
>>
>>25578061
There should have been a Shimmer future instead of a FlimFlam future.
>>
>>25578547
None of them made sense. No elements -> NMM wins -> everything else is completely derailed
>>
>>25578748
I think because the ponies could actually have time to fight against sombra because it was a traditional full scale war. But they probably never saw Chrysalis coming and she took them apart from the inside.
>>
>>25578801
Wouldn't a shimmer future require a change before the cutie marking?

>any other timeline than Sombra Wars
do you even edge?
>>
>>25578748
Sombra is a blunt hammer; he leads from the front, and wins with numbers and force. But he presents a big, obvious evil target for the resistance to rally against.

Chrysalis sows distrust and suspicion, forcing ponies to not help strangers, which would have lead to the complete breakdown of society almost instantly.
>>
>>25578061
I felt like this episode was Fallout based for some reason.
Now i really wanna play Fallout 4 right now
>>
>>25578876
The "Everything is dead" was pretty edgy, as well as Tirek one.
>>
>>25578730
See >>25578814
Literally none of shit should have happened

Haber is still a shit writer even if the episode was pleasant to watch, overall, it was fun and entertaining, but not all too great to finish a season with since it's just going to give us endless time to nitpick and see where it falls apart
>>
>>25578814
Celestia made it work somehow a few times I guess, Luna was even already reformed in the discord one without the need of the elements.
>>
>>25578357
this.

I would live in NMM's future.
>>
>>25578920
Its not specifically fallout, just falloutfags going ape over a sci-fi setting
>>
I liked Flim Flam's future, just for the fact I'm curious of how the hell it happened.
>>
>>25578061
I'm a bit confused over this scene.

This scene can't be from the time when Discord first emerged (and thus would not have ever been defeated by the Elements of Harmony) because the Mane6 didn't even exist by that point yet, so this must be from his second emergence.

But that means that this was after Nightmare Moon escaped from the moon, and if Starlight's interference made sure the Mane6 never met the way they were supposed to, they could not have been there to stop Nightmare Moon. Thus, Luna should not be in this scene. She should at the very least rule Equestria as Nightmare Moon in this specific timeline. That would likely also mean that Celestia could not be there either.

The only possible way for this scene to occur is if Discord somehow made Nightmare Moon into Luna, saved Princess Celestia from whatever fate befell her at her defeat of Nightmare Moon, and made them both his personal clowns. But does that really have anything to do with the Mane6 when it's gone that far?
>>
>>25578920
Nah, not enough nukes going off and lesbian protagonists that don't fucking shut up about how being lesbo is such an issue in a wasteland.
>>
>>25578061
I don't care which one you pick, any future where spike is dead is a perfect future.

>Implying Celestia couldn't stop some of the villains in an infinite amount of tries in an infinite amount of time lines
>>
>>25578814
>>25578960
Presumably the threats before Sombra were overcome somehow.

That's what Twilight was talking about at the ending - it wasn't necessarily that the mane 6 had to be the heroes. But, the more damage was done to the timeline, the more friendship weakened, and less likely heroes were to rise at all no matter who they were.
>>

Flim: Let me tell you something brother, A big thing right now fellow, Everything is great in Flim Flam Fields.
>Flam: That's right my dear brother, we sold cider cross the nation, from canterlot down to dragon city

>>25579000
Why are we assuming that in every alternate timeline she actually did escape from the moon?
>>
>>25578814
Celestia could do have something to do.
GUYS
Celestia DID something in those timelines!
She isn't so useless!
>>
>>25579000
Or Celestia could have stopped NMM without the elements. This whole thing at least gives some credibility to the theory that she wasn't 100% riding on twilight in the opener. Took a couple of different timelines for NMM to actually succeed and seemed to be a pretty slim chance for her to win.
>>
>>25579316
Even after only watching the opening and no episodes other than those first two, I always got the impression that Celestia was just sort of hanging out, waiting to see what Twilight would do.
>>
>>25579302
>>25579316
So the timeline where the Mane6 actually meet is one of the few occurrences in possible timelines where Nightmare Moon wins over Celestia?

Seems like a fairly weak argument to me.
>>
>>25578061
The parasprite one was kinda cool, I'd go mad max in it
>>
>>25579316
tbph doe, her timeline seemed alright. The kingdom was doing well enough that they had tourists.

>>25579113
"Flim and Flam, I must stop you from your wreckless disregard for nature and pony alike!"
What's this, dear brother?
>Why it appears to be Princess Celestia, fresh from her conquest over Sombra, the changelings, and Nightmare Moon.
By golly, with all those fistihooves she must be very, very thirsty...
>A pity she's so against us and our sweet, delicious, fruity apple cider
"I-"
A cider that not even the gods themselves would turn down, dear brother.
>Yes, a pity. I guess all this cool, refreshing cider production would have to stop, and we'd be out of business
Oh without a home or job, brother, back to the cold, unforgiving streets
>How about one last glass brother, before we have to return to scrounging meals from the bottom trash cans, the Equestria Dream in tatters
One more glass of this nourishing, delicious, absolutely wonderful homestyle cider would make all of this all feel a slight bit better, brother
>Care to join us for one last toast, dear princess?
>>
>>25579375
That's not what I said.

What if the time of her escape just wasn't precise?

Maybe in some alternate timelines she doesn't come out for another 20 years.
>>
>>25579375
Time traveling, Anon.
You fix something in the past or mess something, you could fuck up for real.
As example, try saving someone life in the past, and in the future there could be a big change.
I'll give you one example.
Imagine if Hitler was killed as a child
There wouldn't be WW2
Thus, let's say 9/11 never happened because of this.
And with that, we don't get a reference in Metal Gear Rising where Sundowner says.
So we wouldn't get Metal Gear Rising.
And now that's a sad future without memes.
>>
>>25578061
I'm inclined towards the Sombra timeline but maybe that's because they spend most time in there.
>finally we got the Epic Pony War
>>
The fact that Haber wrote this I think is more proof that Meghan is most likely not working on Season 6 at all
>>
I think wasteland equestria was a versión were twilight became evil without friends repeating the actions of human twilight
>>
>>25579513
I think we'd have to worry about more things than Metal Gear, like, maybe Soviet Union still existing.
>>
The Sombra future was a really interesting idea.

Im like picturing WW II style propaganda reels for it.
>>
>>25579610
Kirov reporting
>>
>>25579610
Because heaven knows Gorbechov and Laser Eye surgery is so terrible.
>>
>>25579639
There were Sombra posters in some buildings I believe
So that could do as propaganda
>>
>>25578061
I cringed quite a bit over the Sombra timeline.
>>
>>25579513
Without ww2 we would be at best in 1960's tech, America would never be a super power, Child labor would be a thing because we never got out of the depression. Germany would have fallen to socialism, and in the end, USSR, not America, would be a superpower.
>>
>>25578977
>>25578357
This to be honest family. Life under NMM's ruleship wasn't all too bad, considering she didn't even have to mind-control pones like Sombra did, and they willingly served her.
>>
>>25579375
>>25579455
NMM had a set 1000 year stay in the moon according to the S1 opener so in all of those timelines she already had to have appeared and lost. She was even reformed in the Discord timeline. The worst for her was probably the Sombra one seeing as she wasn't by Celestia's side helping with the war effort meaning she was probably either back on the moon or dead.
>>
>>25579733
>implying America didn't become superpower after WW1
>implying technology race between USSR and USA during the Cold War isn't one of the main reasons of humanity's fast technological advancement
Do you even history, comrade?
>>
So I'm gonna be that guy and ask where the future where Sunset Shimmer's plan succeeded was.
>>
>>25579846
America was in the great Depression, we wouldn't climb our way out, thus the Ussr would have no one to compete against,
>>
>>25579901
>no elements
>sunset plan is taking the element of magic
there isn't one
>>
>>25579943
>economys always stay the same
>USSR was killing its self

To be honest, Germany invasion crippled USSR economy quite a bit.

Without Twilight showing her up, she'd have been able to continue being just a show pony and have no reason to seek the corrupting power of the Alicorn amulet.
>>
>>25580018
So if Hitler was killed as a child, USA wouldn't have been a superpower and we wouldn't have a capitalist horse show now but a communist one in which Starlight is the main character?
>>
I kind of wish Tirek's was explored a little more, just to explain what the hell he was doing.

Was he reshaping the environment to make it the same hell on earth as the Badlands were supposed to be? Was he trying to split the barrier between Equestria and Tartarus open? Was he just murdering everyone because 'fuck ponies'? He was doing that same shit in the season finale, I was really curious what his endgame with that was. Now, I'm only more confused, because apparently he never STOPPED between the S4 finale and this one.

>>25580386
Nah man, they could've definitely done something better with that. Am I supposed to believe that's ALL Tirek wanted to do with Equestria's magic? Fuck some forest's shit up for no reason?

Here's a better version, straight off the top of my head;
>Tirek reshaped the world with fire and brimstone after the S4 finale, and the sky is polluted in black ash
>the ancient evils of Tartarus were unleashed upon the world, most resembling the guards from Midnight Castle
>Twilight hears terrified screams for help, thus justifies a decision not to leave immediately
>what she witnesses is the ultimate bad end; an Equestria completely dominated by an absolute evil
>this is what scares Twilight into reasoning with Starlight instead of continuing on in their stalemate
>>
>>25580031
>What could cause this? Everything is just fucking obliterated.

H.G. Wells, "The Time Machine." On a long enough timeframe, all timelines suck. The message is that it's what we do in today and the distant future that matters.
>>
>>25580031
The Elements of Harmony were utilized, but were destroyed at the height of their power. Their magic wreaked havoc on the landscape and weather system, causing endless sandstorms and blocking out the sun for days at a time. Trees were stripped bare, crops were destroyed, ponies were forced to migrate in a hopeless attempt to escape an unending catastrophe.

It is said that, moments before the elements shattered and eternally blighted the land, seven words were spoken. Seven words to herald the end of everything. Seven words that, if one listened closely, could still be heard in the destructive winds that now enveloped the world:

"I just don't know what went wrong."

He wasn't doing anything specific, just aimelessly rampaging, besotted with the immense power he just received.
>>
>>25580774
>On a long enough timeframe, all timelines suck.
The thing is, whenever Starlight changed something in the past, the present was altered, not the future. That wasteland happening in some alternate present by something we don't know.
>>
>>25580888
I guess Harber just doesn't give a fuck about Tirek what a shame

>>25578061
Unlike Sombra, Discord actually won and own entire Equestria.

>>25580957

Discord is the strongest entity in Equestria though, bar the Elements of Harmony. He only needs to flick his fingers to change the world.

Nightmare Moon world seemed pretty comfy.

Other than moving the capital and acting scary she didn't really seem like an irresponsible ruler. I'd like to see how the rest of the world looked under her rule. Plus she was literally right in that she did to her sister exactly what was done to her. NMM did nothing wrong.

>>25583474
>What caused that one?
Not sure I wonder if dragons did it. Specifically I am thinking of the episode where FS tells the polluting dragon to move along.
>>
>>25583147
Considering how long it has been from the Ponyvile Summer Sun Celebration to there, I'm surprised Luna figured out that no sunlight no crops deal.
>>
>>25578357
This. NMM didn't seem pointlessly cruel. Heck she even had public viewings of her castle. It's night all the time but they found a way to keep plants alive.
>>
>>25583680
Huh, could be that. My mind was jumping to it being foreshadowing for some future villain (total annihilation seems movie-tier dangerous) but that makes more sense with the given info.
>>
What I don't get is how in every alternate timeline one threat succeeded but something stopped all the other threats. Like in the Sombra world, who stopped Nightmare Moon? Why didn't whoever it was stop her in the Nightmare Moon world? Same for all the others.
>>
Time for some headcanon.

Even though the rainboom was stopped, each timeline was different and Twilight was sent back by the spell to see the effects. The only one we didn't see return was Starlight. What if it was a one way trip for her, leaving her stranded in the past. It is possible she continued to meddle in the past which is what caused the dramatic changes for each timeline. Then something happened which prevented her from meeting with Twilight again. In the one timeline she wasn't left behind in and went with Twilight, everything was pretty much dead. Without her to meddle anymore in the past, everything somehow went to shit.
>>
>>25578814
Presumably she was able to rekt NMM those few times. Look how less and less ponies are part of the 'resistance' too as the timelines go along (first all the mane 6 are involved in the war. Then only like half are with Chrysalis, to finally all of them working with NMM.

Then of course in the last timeline all life fucking dies
>>
>>25583680
Nah, Celesetia could have dealt with that dragon without the mane 6, she just gave the job to them because they live in Ponyville and maybe she wanted to test Twilight or something.

>doesn't know what autism is.

Yeah, she seems like a crazy hard ass, but she actually does want the best for her subject. She wasn't about power like KingGhosthorse.

I bet it would have been fine. A couple shitty laws, the whole night thing. Worth it for sexiest princess. Those fangs man.
>>
>>25583714
Let's say this

>Sombra timeline
Celestia turned good her sister, Discord never showed up or they stopped him again but Cadence never got to the Empire/never married Shining Armor.

>Chrysalis timeline
Same start, except this time the wedding takes place and Chrysalis win.

>NMM timeline
She isn't turned good and prisons her sister to the moon

>Tirek timeline
All going good except that he escaped, and shit.

>Discord timeline
NMM got his sister to the moon, but then he escaped and made good NMM and bringed back Celestia to Equestria, but he was the king now.

That's how I see it.

>>
>>25583714
Well Discord is stronger than all of them so him escaping means he wins so there has to be another set of element bearers in the alternate timelines. Now whether you headcanon that Sunset got her shit together for a few of these threats, There was a mare after Twilight that just couldn't bat the 1.000 of Twilight or Celestia just re-banished Luna and got lucky on Discord is how this goes. Because we will never get an explanation.
The real question is though, how did Luna, Sombra, and Chrysalis stop The threats once they gained control?
>>
>>25578061
The Fucking-Obliterated one, you just have to wonder what the fuck even caused it. All the other villains have goals or plans, Tirek is just an angry man full of magic and anger. Who the fuck would just obliterate everything entirely?

That's the timeline where the bronies made it to Equestria. The ponies were all raped so many times that they were overcome with exhaustion and died. The bronies then became enraged by the lack of sexual partners that they rioted and burned down the entire region before collectively committing seppuku.

The plunder vines were Discord's original escape plan, to get rid of the Elements of Harmony and break the spell that kept him imprisoned.

Who's to say they won't? The main problem with MLP pre-FIM is that the creators of the show basically thought kids were stupid so they could get away with making a shitty show. I can appreciate that in recent years this show and others like it don't pull punches because of "t-the kids won't get it!"

Faust's whole point in creating this current generation was that little girls aren't retards. Not everything has to be a fucking cozy little tea party for them to enjoy it. Stop acting like it should be.
>>
>>25584262
By little girl show standards it is. I was cool with the DBZ battle in the last finale but I feel like this one went a little too far.
>>
>>25584597
I'm not, but face it, neither are they going to pay as much autistic attention to detail to it as we do.

>The main problem with MLP pre-FIM is that the creators of the show basically thought kids were stupid so they could get away with making a shitty show.
I mean, they weren't wrong.
>>
>>25584597

There's a GIGANTIC fucking distance between "treating kids like idiots" and "loss of body parts in a war setting that doesn't even fit the show's tone". We could've had a good medium, could, if the current staff weren't full of witless hacks.

You exaggerate as fuck because otherwise you have no point, but that kind of argument is worthless to anyone with half a brain, try again.

>>25584670
I was pretty smart as a kid, dunno about you.
>>
>>25584694
And now you browse 4chan.
>>
>>25584597
It's the explicit demonstration that i thought was stupid, show a ran out of town village or how people have to contribute to the war effort, it's much more interesting than the actual war since the ponies just look edgy, cringy, fanfic-esque, and overall retarded doing it.
>>
>>25584694
My point is they did get away with making a shitty show, that's why MLP was popular enough to warrant a revival in the first place.
>>
>>25584670
Yeah, they weren't. But just because they could do it doesn't mean they should.

I mean, the original MLP G1 had ponies fighting dragons and an evil magic blizzard that turned ponies into beasts.

>>25584687
>There's a GIGANTIC fucking distance between "treating kids like idiots" and "loss of body parts in a war setting that doesn't even fit the show's tone"

Uh, wasn't the whole point of the alternate realities was that they DIDN'T fit in with the show's tone? That it was overall completely different than what we expect from the universe? It was shown to be bad.

And then the heroes fucking redeemed the bad guy at the end anyway. Doesn't that stay safely within the show's "tone"? Correct me if I'm wrong, but I thought the whole point of the show was that shit gets bad, but the magic of friendship always prevails. To this end they haven't strayed from that once.
>>
>>25584768

They could've showed bad futures without pulling the phony shit the Sombra timeline showed. In fact they did. 3 times. In fact they did it better too since we saw Twilight actualy interact with the other awful worlds instead of just listening to it in a infodump.


It was a shitty scene. Really shitty scene.

I was hoping Nightmare Moon's time travel ambitions would at least go a little further than they did, if nothing else. At best: she could've complicate Twilight's goals to a point where even Glimmer needed to help intervene, or something.

She was seriously 10/10 in that episode, easily the best written iteration of NMM the show's ever done.
>>
>>25585878
Hell grab all the villains and sick them on Starlight. IMO Starlight is a pretentious brat piece of shit. Reminds me of Azula from Avatar in that she's a villain Sue. Except that now all of a sudden she already is best friends with the Mane 6 and Spike (who doesn't really count).

IMO the best fate for Starlight Glimmer should have been she being locked in a loop living the worst moment of her life ala Justice League, you know the Time Travel villain episode. And don't say it's too edgy, King Sombra was KILLED OFF. This is perfectly in line with a show like this one.

I think it would've been fair if she was marooned in a splinter-timeline where the specific circumstances that led to her earning her own cutie mark were averted by her own meddling, and they couldn't be recreated again. Then she'd have to live out her life as a perma-blank flank, much like she forced others to live.

It would have been a fitting punishment that'd keep her from tapping into her dangerous magical potential, and give her a taste of her own medicine.

>>25589467
>"Y-Yeah, how do you know my name?"
>You sighed.
"Okay, listen, I know it sounds crazy, but my name is Twilight Sparkle, and I come from a different timeline."
>Sweetie Belle raised her eyebrow.
"Yeah, I know. You probably don't believe me. Uh, is Rarity home?"
>Sweetie shook her head.
>"No," she said, a hint of venom in her voice. "Not since HE took her."
>That bad, huh?
"Okay, the timeline I come from has you and Rarity living together in the Carousel Boutique, and if I had to guess much happier than you are now."
>"Wait, who's 'he'?" asked Spike.
>Sweetie Belle groaned. "Probably the worst possible prince EVER to rule Equestria."
>Uh oh.
>"Okay, so whoever this 'Prince' is, he's apparently got Rarity and is not a nice guy to be around," Spike noted. He rolled his eyes. "That's reassuring."
>"And Cheerilee, and I think Amythest once she turned eighteen. Happens with every single Mare, and it stinks, and I just wish he'd fuck off!"
>You cringed.
"Sweetie, language!"

>"Wait," Sweetie interrupted, "so you're not one of his sex slaves like everypony else?"
>Oh no.
"NO! Of course not! And Sweetie Belle, what's with your language all of a sudden?!"
>The filly sighed.
>"Can't help it, ever since he made it part of the required vocabulary, along with faggot, shitpost, ceck, and-"
>You can't help but recognize those terms.
"Wait, why would this pony put those words in Equestria's required vocabulary?"
>"Not a pony."
>Blinking, you realize what you haven't had answered.

>Oh no.
>It's a song you wish you DIDN'T recognize.
>You glanced outside, and sure enough, the Royal Chariot was here, and inside it was a green-skinned human with a question mark on his face.

>There are some serious questions that need answering.

>Apparently.
>Beside him was...
>Oh.
>Yeah, no, that made sense.
>Beside him was Rarity, in a relatively fancy outfit.
>Probably went by Princess Rarity by now.
>You glanced over at Sweetie Belle, who was refusing to look out there.
>"Ayyyyyyy!" Anon shouts, and in response a crowd replies in kind.
>Like a crowd at a rave party at one of Rara's old concerts, back when she was called Countess Coloratura.
>Your hackles tensed up.
>>
>>25589531
>"How ya doin'?" he asks, and without waiting for a response, he continues. "Gotta make some 'nouncements, so just bear with me. Firstly, the official colaboration artwork with the theme of "LOSS" was finally posted in Canterlot City's museum. Buckley would be proud."
>He is not at all acting regal.
>"Second, tomorrow is, as you know, Shitpost Sunday, which means newspapers will probably be unreliable."
>"Just like you are?" called out another pony from the crowd.
>"Exactly, which is why I've remained in power."
>"Of what, the bathroom?"
>Everyone laughed, but Anonymous didn't flinch.
>Instead, he smirked.
>"They don't call me the Shitposter Supreme for nothing.
>The entire audience groaned.
>You could not help but groan as well.
>Prince Anonymous your flank.
>You decide enough is enough.
>You whisper to Sweetie Belle.
"Stay here. I'll try and fix everything so...this...doesn't happen."
>"You promise?"
>You nod.
"Come on, Spike."
>And with that, the two of you started to sneak up into one of the bushes.
>"Finally, as always, OP is a faggot. Anyway, that's all, now check 'em!"
>>
>>25589552 (off by two, god DAMN it)
>Okay, compared to King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Nightmare Moon, Anonymous was just a human.
>Normally not this egotistical, and normally not this much of a smug jerk, but still pretty un-magical by Equestrian standards.
>Mind you, he was egotistical and smug at times, but the Anon you knew was somewhat of a good guy.
>Not this asshole.
>If you can just-
>"Wait a minute..." Anon growled.
>Without warning, you are hoist up into midair to meet, face-to-face, with Anonymous and Rarity.
>Okay.
>Anon was not normally magical.
>This could be a problem.
>"Y'know, m'lady, you were in that bush so well I'd mistake you for Laura," he chuckled. "But I've played enough Metal Gear to know that's not how stealth works."
"...Metal Gear?"
>"Exactly."
>You looked over at Spike, who was still on the ground, and motioned him to run.
>As he ran, Anonymous continued his rant.
>"But you, on the other hand, are the weapon to surpass it. I think."
>He shrugged.
>"Or not. I haven't played MGSV yet."
>You struggled to break free from his magical grip.
>"Hey! Pegasus unicorn lady! What's your name?"
>Rarity ribbed him in the stomach.
>"OW!" he winced. "What was that for?"
>"Anon, she's an 'alicorn'. Not a 'pegasus unicorn lady'!"
>You glared at the two of them.
"Twliight Sparkle. My name is Twilight Sparkle. The alicorn princess of Equestria, or at least the one I knew."

>He nodded.
>"Cool. Now, lemme guess, you were trying to do a coup d'etat?"
>Figured you out that easily, huh?
"Yeah, actually," you admit. "But I will stop you!"
>Anon giggled.
>"See, here's the thing, Starbutt; a number of ponies have already attempted a coup once I came into the throne - and that's literal, mind you. I forget their names, something something Nightlight Moon, Sombrero, Tirekt, whatever. But right now, I'm just here tryin' to keep this place under control."
>He looked over behind you, and scowled.
>"OI! The hand goes diagonal, not straight! He's a faggot, remember!"
>You look behind to see the construction pony's work.
>It was a statue of a human with some sort of inventor's suit on, pointing to his left.
>"Well excuse me, prince, but it's gonna be fuckin' difficult to position it right. What's it supposed to point at, anyway?"
>"Your mom!"
>"Puts her above you, shitlord!"
>Anon grumbled.
>"Anon, dearie," Rarity cooed, "you gotta admit he's right on that."
"But Rarityyyyyyyy..."
>"Come on, sweetpea, you know too much salt ruins your diet."
>You have no idea what the hay they're talking about.
>>
>>25589593
>Anon sighed. "See, Starbutt, besides that I think I've made some pretty good-"
>You glared at him again.
"What. Happened. With. Princess. Celestia?!"
>His grin faded.
>"Oooooof... okay, not sure how you know her but I think what happened was some bitch cast a spell from out of nowhere that killed her. Left a filly or two traumatized, I dunno.
>Oh...
>Right.
>You remembered now.
>The spell you cast hit somewhere in Canterlot Castle.
>Now you know it hit the princess herself.
>If this ever got resolved you would have a strange time explaining that to her in a report.
"Anyway, shortly after I found this portal to Equestria, and fell through it by accident. In the midst of the shitstorm, they decided to make me prince. Why? I dunno, something to do with panic and fear?"
>Rarity gestured to a view of Ponyville.
>"But really, darling, this isn't that bad. Once you get used to the new order of what my lovely Prince calls shitposting you'll learn to love it here. No hard feelings, just...ahem, don't piss off Sir Scruffy and you'll be fine."
>You shook your head.
"Anonymous. Rarity."
>"Ah-ah-ah~"
>You scowled.
"What."
>"You gotta call me by my full name - The Ruler of Rulebreaking, the Shitposter Supreme, The Faglord-In-Chief Prince Anonymous."
>There was no way in Equestria you were calling him that.
>On top of being vulgar as sin it's incredibly hard to memorize.
>"Or just call me Anon. Either's fine."

"Look, where I'm from, or rather WHEN I'm from, you are a human who got stranded in Equestria-"
>"Yeah, that's me," he interrupted.
"-that became a good-standing, albeit snarky citizen of Equestria. In that world, Equestria wasn't in shambles as it is now. Some pony else from my timeline, Starlight Glimmer, engineered events so that a significant, ground-breaking event would never occur, and it involves me, Rarity, and four other ponies who were brought together by the Magic of Friendship. And unless you let me go, that timeline as I know it will cease to exist."
>Anon and Rarity glanced at each other.
"So, Anon?"
>Anon smirked.
>"I mean, if you don't want to stay that's fine, but can't you at least check out the place before you go?"
>You look over the horizon to overview Equestria.
>Cloudsdale looked like an overgrown casino.
>Canterlot Castle looked like Manehattan times two.

Alright guys, I'm going to try and solve the timeline paradox once and for all, but I'll have to unleash my autism to do it. Brace yourselves.

In the Changelings timeline, Zecora is able to detect that Twilight and Spike are not just from another timeline, but THE CORRECT timeline. This means that in this time travel scenario, the original show timeline continues to exist despite the parallel timelines Starlight creates. This means that every alternate timeline is essentially a splinter in space-time (or a wormhole in the multiverse, whatever).

Starlight could have modified the time travel spell in such a way that Twilight and Spike are automatically sent forward in the newest splinter timeline, while Starlight is sent to whatever other point in the original timeline she's chosen (probably the present).

Since Starlight enjoys watching Twilight struggle to correct the past, she has set herself up to be sent back to the same point in time whenever Twilight goes back in time so that she can thwart her or gloat. In the meantime, she can do whatever she wants in the original timeline because in her view, the original timeline doesn't matter and will not exist soon.

However, Starlight is NOT trapped forever jumping back and forth in time whenever Twilight uses the spell. As she shows at the end, she was planning to destroy the spell when she felt the time was right. She wanted to see Twilight break and give in to despair, then destroy the only means of fixing the timeline in order to prevent any return to the original timeline. This might not destroy the original timeline, but it would basically seal it off for Twilight, Spike and Starlight, making the current splinter timeline the only possible reality for them.

So basically Starlight wasn't seeing the alternate timelines because she was returning herself to the "original" timeline. Twilight just disrupted this cycle by grabbing Starlight when she was pulled into the portal meant for her.

TL;DR I am a lonely virgin

First there were the gem wars. Then there were the weather wars. Then the rainboom blasts came, and the gates of Tartarus were destroyed.

My name is Twilight. My world is fire and blood. Once, I was a princess. An element bearer searching to uphold harmony. As the world fell, each of us in our own way was broken. It was hard to know who was more crazy... me... or everyone else.

Without Spike to shoot down their hero worship, Snips and Snails never goaded the Ursa Minor into attacking. Trixie had a good week of shows, and left without incident.

She became more and more popular. Meanwhile, Tirek escaped. He started terrorizing the land.

Trixie felt a calling, an eldritch power seeking her. She found the Alicorn Amulet, and used it to slay Tirek. Unfortunately, she swiftly became corrupted.

The desolate and dead wasteland of the final dark future was Trixie's legacy.
>>
>>25578814
Another group took her down with the Elements in each timeline except hers. I'm guessing Trixie, Sunset, and even Starlight had a turn or two at it, but failed on Discord, Chrysalis, Sombra, and Tirek.

Was the wasteland Derpy's fault?

>>25578994
Applejack stayed in Manehattan. She learned business at her aunt's knee, then returned to the homestead and sold her portion of the inheritance to her siblings.

She invested in an up-and-coming industrialized cider process, which won a bet and bought the town.

The one apocalypse I wish we could've seen was the total domination of Equestria by Breezies.
>>
>>25578061
The one where they all became friends with starlight glimmer :>)
>>
>>25579302
Because it was a simple timer of 1000 years, no extra encouragement needed to free her. The same is approximately true of Tirek's escape, as far as we know, and the Crystal Empire also returned on a set schedule.

By contrast, chrysalis required the wedding to take shining armor's love, discord was freed by the arguing of three fillies, or another set of arguing ponies, and starlight glimmer got a taste for revenge when twilight ruined her Utopia.
>>
>>25578061

I liked the Sombra one, dark as fuck and actually showed how far the consequences of war go, the map with the far-stretching crystal walls, Applejack's farm industrialized out of necessity... The sheep getting sheared, Rainbow Dash on the frontline in a modernized armor and some battle scars...

Chrysalis one was pretty OK, not my favorite, but Zecora fit into her role hand in glove.

I think my favorite one though was the NMM timeline. I absolutely love the portrayal of NMM, she's so... reasonable. Ponies were living their lives, RD was a guard and Rarity worked in the castle. Her rule probably isn't as good as Celestia's, but it's not a bad rule. I loved the design of her castle and especially the knights, and her casually raping the timberwolves was fucking great as well.

I mean Tirek is seriously underdevloped and underrated He was so cool in half of S4 finale, clever,wonderful voice acting,villainish,did most effective way to conquer whole Equestria,betrayed Discord and after he consumed Alicorn magic, he suddenly turned out to shit what the fuck man
>>
how wasnt every timeline a nightmare moon timeline?
there was no way to stop her without the new elements.
and how would anyone ever find out about crysalis if twilight wasnt around for it?
no way in hell she'd just take over the castle and then undo all that masquerade for no reason
all the timelines also seem to be prime locations for enough discord to free discord everywhere.
and of course, sombra was inevitable in all of them too.

all in all, it absolutely makes no sense that not all timelines were filled with all the villains fighting each other

>>25592852
oh fuck you zecora you're so full of shit. yeah butterfly effect and all, but that's only true when the changed stuff actually is causally connected.

no matter what happened to anyone in ponyville, nnm would've come back, discord would've eventually been freed, sombra would have come back, the changelings would have tried to invade the land of where there is food for them. i dont really know about that other burly villain guy. he may or may not have come back too, not sure if he was linked to that tree or the chest and stuff.
oh and the seeds that attacked the harmony tree, of course, those would've come out too..

none of that was affected by anything the mane 6 or anyone they interacted with did.

A landmark volume in science writing by one of the great minds of our time, Stephen Hawking’s book explores such profound questions as: How did the universe begin—and what made its start possible? Does time always flow forward? Is the universe unending—or are there boundaries? Are there other dimensions in space? What will happen when it all ends?

Told in language we all can understand, A Brief History of Time plunges into the exotic realms of black holes and quarks, of antimatter and “arrows of time,” of the big bang and a bigger God—where the possibilities are wondrous and unexpected.

so since when did magic require a scroll to no be ripped apart anyway?
was there any second in this two part episode that didn't shit all over any form of consistency?
>>
>>25593098
but how? she couldn't have gotten her mark
what event could've possibly ripped through the cloudy everygray sky and gave her that party idea?
>>
>>25593212
It's probably like reading a spell. With enough practice and memorization you can do it alone, but something that advanced Twi had literally zero time to /really/ learn it, even though she cast it a butt load of times. And SG only cast it once.
>>
what, pinkie pie is surprised by the fact that equestria depended on them, despite being there the countless times THEY SAVED IT are you retarded?

and no twilight, its not your differences that makes your friendship so important, its the fact that it corresponds to the fucking elements of harmony and that the usage of said elements causally is the thing that keeps equestria from destruction.
fucking kids show
>>
>>25593212
>>25593295
Or maybe a lot of the magic was infused in the scroll because SG wasn't powerful enough to conjure up something like that from scratch. That's a very common trope in casting.
Ever play the Elder Scrolls?

Man you could easily make a weird strategy game out a scenario like that. Sun V Moon V Changling V Umbra. Maybe throw in a 5th faction but the others didnt really have an army to command just terrifying god-deities of doom.

i think the princess of magic shouldn't have any trouble to build up as much magic as starlight managed to.

oh holy shit, so do you guys always become friends with the maniacs around you because you're afraid they will murder everything otherwise?

why the fuck wouldn't you just send her off to that sunglow pony and be done with the shit?
>>
>>25593349
exactly, thats why she casted it a bunch of times only getting winded until way later.
the scroll had latent magics AND directions. maybe should could have pieced it back together and done the spell herself, or maybe tearing an arcane object insures its destruction. leaving twi with nothing to go off of

just let this be the final season and stop raping a dead horse. its dead, its cold, its oozing puss, there's nothing left to do with it other than burning it

the original scroll would still exist in the past. she'd have plenty to go off on

i'm glad they skipped over all the potential starlight episodes in their dumb song, meaning we won't have to expect a new season for this anyway

No, Starlight rewrote the spell herself to do what she wanted, it wasn't the same spell Starswirl wrote.

this. i mean i guess stuck in time, twi could track down starswirls spell and then reverse engineer SGs spell. wouldnt be easy though

What's the plothole?
>Luna can't be there, she's NMM!
Nothing says Discord couldn't have undid the NMM curse, freed Celestia, and then turned them into clowns. He's Discord, he does whatever the fuck he wants.
>>
>>25593517
or in this timeline, celestia talked down her sister and they were chill, no moon shit.
>>
>>25593552
Easier answer, I like it. Or Celestia had a plan B for NMM. Some timelines it works (Sombra, Discord) others it doesn't.
>>
I actually came up with an idea similar to this episode for an 'Anon in Equestria' fic. The idea was that Anon gets sucked into Equestria a long-ass time before Celestia etc., and because his un-naturalness empowers magic, the ponies of the distant past imprison him and use his soul as a spell ingredient (Specifally, theys hear bits off, put them in objects and use them for POWER). Over time, they get corrupted by his unnaturalness, go crazy, and in the ensueing ruckus, Anon is forgotten and his soul pieces end up all over the place. Fast forward to a future where Nightmare Moon is battling against Sombra and Discord has shown up. Twilight, looking for a way to get Celestia back, stumbles upon and is possessed by Anon. Anon travels the world to retrieve his soul bits, while Twilight is struggling to regain control and, when that fails, pleas with Anon to set things right. Anon eventually retrieves his soul, merges them, and then uses his soul coupled with Twilight's magic to make Discord go insane, lose hope and commit suicide. Using that magic, Anon tries to get back home, but Twilight sabotages him. The only option is to go back in time and try again. The following stories are all about a huge chess game between Twilight and Anon across several different timestreams.

Shame I can't be buggered to write it.

Someone pls make an edit or just an entire video on it's own.

>>25590853

The soldiers they faced were pretty much encased in "golems", weren't they?

Enslaved by Sombra and forced to fight, somehow incapable of deserting or surrendering... What a fate.

Fighting the crystal army can't be much better, you know everyone you kill is an unwilling marionette who wants nothing more than to surrender.

What if it's all one timeline? Luna takes over, Celestia reforms her somehow, Discord takes over and makes them slaves, He is then defeated. After this the flim-flam brothers take over the apple farm. Soon after the changelings attack, they are then defeated and everything goes back to normal (in this timeline). Then comes Sombra, everyone goes off to war, and an industrialized, Flim-Flam run, apple farm starts supplying food at a rapid rate for wartime, furthering their riches. After the war is when Tirek attacks, He then seeks to destroy all of pony civilisation which is what we see at the end.

It's said very directly that they keep returning to the same original point in time. They're different timelines.

Yeah, the multiverse continues to exist, that's why there's no alternate Twilights and Spikes whenever T & S returns to the past. Even the Starlight waiting for them wouldn't be the same each time.

>>
>>25593326
>>25596207
This is a fantastic idea.

Also why didn't Twilight and Spike disappear? I know the spell was designed to take them back, but it sounds like the writers couldn't think of a way to stop Twilight from disappearing, and decided to paper over it with 'Oh well Starlight WANTED HER to come back to show her what she was doing!'

But then, why do THAT?

Why not just erase the Cutie Marks and then be done with it? Why give yourself all the trouble of having to deal with Twilight for the sake of revenge?

I don't fell that just 'she's really really jealous with a single track mind' cuts it. Because then, the question becomes why that?

Why would her backstory (which was a little sad) be enough for that?


>>25596463

ALSO HOLY SHIT I love Man in the High Castle.

It's scary isn't it?
>>
>>25593326
>>25596207


Also, Guardians of Harmony is the working project title for Season 6.

So make of that what you will.
>>
>>25598063
Show implied something about the spell was keeping Starlight, Twilight, Spike, and the table from being effected by the time fuckery.

And Starlight's plan wasn't to just sit there stopping Twilight forever. All she had to do to assure her victory was take the scroll back and after one last Sonic Rainboom was averted, Twilight would be locked into whatever bad future she gets sent to.
>>
>>25598139
Oh of course! That didn't occur to me. I was drunk.

What do you mean, after one last Sonic Rainboom was averted?

Why did she have to do it that many times?

Also >you see SIX alternate timelines
SHIT.

On that note, why was the spell even keeping Spike Twilight and the Table from being affected in the first place? What was the point of that?

And you know it was Starswirl's spell, which one was it? If it was anything other than the Cutie Mark swapping spell, I haven't seen it mentioned.
>>
>>25598206
>Also >you see SIX alternate timelines
1. Sombra
2. Chrysalis
3. NMM
4. Tirek
5. Discord
6. Flim & Flam
7. Wasteland

>the Table
She needed to link the spell to the table in the first place, Twilight linked herself and Spike when she used the scroll.

>And you know it was Starswirl's spell, which one was it?
A modification on the time-travel spell Twilight used in It's About Time, Starlight admits she made the alterations herself.
>>
>>25598280
Okay, why did she need to use the table?

Also, if she succeeded, that means she wouldn't have anything to change, and that means she'd undo the reason for going back in time at all which means she wouldn't go back in time... and none of it would happen.

So why do it? How would she get around that?

Every future was missing Twilight. The big change on wasteland future was the absence of Starlight Glimmer.
>>
>>25598386
How was she absent?
>>
>>25598355
>Okay, why did she need to use the table?
It's a massive, world-altering spell. Artifacts like the Elements of Harmony can be used as a catalyst or focus for spells like the cutie mark switcheroo in Magical Mystery Cure, presumably the same is true for the table and this spell.

>Also, if she succeeded, that means she wouldn't have anything to change
The ones using the spell become constants (Starlight, Twilight, Spike and Table), they don't change even if the world does. Her plan is to ruin Twilight's friendship, laugh at Twilight (who knows she's lost all her friends), and carry on with her life. Twilight, Spike and her would be the only ones who know.

It works because it's a fixed timeline, we know it is because Zecora mentions that her world isn't the "true" world, and the solution is that Starlight CAN'T succeed, no matter how hard she tries. Like in It's About Time, it's a fixed loop from the start. Starlight doesn't know she can't possibly stop Twilight in the end, and that's why she tries.
The "false" worlds we see are fairly similar to the cutie mark switcheroo in Magical Mystery Cure, it changes the world, but it doesn't change the "nature" of the world, the world is fated to return to it's true shape.

Brother Cosmos was the one in the last timeline.

>>25598206
>What do you mean, after one last Sonic Rainboom was averted?

She was trolling Twilight by allowing her to come back with the scroll. She was going to keep stopping Twilight until Twilight gives up or Starlight gets bored and wants to end it.

Also, how does the spell collapse the iterations into a cycle? Obviously that's the closed aspect of this, bu I can't see it on the chart.

ISomeone might have to mark it for me.

I suppose I was expecting to see a branching off on there.
>>
>>25599051
Hnag on I think I get it.

What this amounts to is: from the view of an observer at the point of the rainboom, there was basically either one twilight/starlight pair flashing in and out of existence several times until the bit with the lecture and then they flash out of existence and nothing happened...

Or multiple pairs of them all at once.

Which one would it be, one or multiple pairs, and is there a link between it being a closed or open time loop?

So the event would just like a random alicorn appearing and then leaving to an observer nearby, and that's how the other timelines collapse into a cycle?
