I love it when people explore the angst of Twily outliving her best friends because of her princesshood.

[multidebbie]

Honestly no wonder Luna and Celestia never really attached to any other pony other than each other until twilight came around. They planned on making her a princess nearly since they met.

[morganmurner]

The whole point of Twilight going to Ponyville was to make friendships and emotional connections. What bitter irony that she outlives all those relationships as a princess.

I love how you drew them as they passed away. Applejack and Pinkie going first because they were earth ponies. Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy going next because they had more magic as pegasi. Rarity being the last to go as she is a unicorn and had the most of a connection with magic next to Twilight.

Love the touch of Military Regalia, as Twilight would no doubt take on ALL roles as a leader. Great work!

I think it’s interesting that Rarity was the last one to die.

I can imagine they’re going to some ceremony and she’s raving away about what dress would best suit Twilight for the event. It takes her moment, but she notices Twilight’s silence and inquiries on why she seems so closed off.

Twilight may look at her with a soft smile on her face, eyes filled with sorrow. “We’re the only ones left.”. Rarity’s eyes widen, then fall to the red velvet fabric in her grasp. She lets out soft hum, letting go and strutting over to her friend.

“My dearest Twilight. Though our time is short, our memories will live on. You will carry-on, as a grand ruler of Equestria, guiding and protecting the lives of others. You will teach them the lessons we have gifted each other over all these years. Of kindness, of loyalty, of honesty, of laughter, of generosity, bravery, and the magic of friendship.

When I am gone, you will still remain one of my dearest friends. When your time comes, we will meet again. We will all be waiting for you. Our adventures will be begin again.”.

She places a gentle touch on Twilight’s shoulder. Suddenly, Twilight rises and pulls her into a tight embrace. She buries the nose into the crook of her neck, breathing in her perfume. She pulls away slightly, studying her dear friends face. The wrinkles of her eyes and hallowed cheeks. The crinkle of her eyebrows. Staring deeply into her sapphire eyes, Twilight says “In all these years of knowing you, your radiance has never faded.”. She places both hands on her dear friends cheeks.

“You will always remain in my heart. Forever.”

I’ve had the thought before, “How many friends/lovers did Celestia have to lose during her long life? And the sister she hadn’t seen for a thousand years. (an amazing fate, isn’t it?). And if she had to go through this, and she accepted This is part of her life, so Twilight will have to. What a burden all rulers in Equestria bear...
What's hidden in the sweet friendship fandom? That's right, an existential nightmare

[RealUnrealer]

this is so gorgeous, the lack of colors and the highlight of a few really makes it so dramatic and builds the tension of the way she feels. Beautifully done.

[namelessstranger]

If you pay close attention, Twilight in the first group picture is decidedly happy and has not yet ascended (no flowing hair, no celestial badges) but she is immediately depressed upon ascending into royalty; implying that ascension itself deeply disheartened her after she had time to ponder her new immortal life, long before any of her friends even began to age.

Neat animation!

[WaryJester]

Her being the Princess of Friendship is so sad when you think about her being almost immortal. But at least she has Spike, Cadence, Celestia and Luna, and Discord.

[Jinxed_lmon]

Actually obsessed with your Twilight design. Love the concept of the princess’s wearing these soldier-like uniforms instead of big dresses >>>

[hoodiefreak]

I feel like another sad part about this is even if her friends were made immortal like she was, they’d have to watch their families and other friends pass away, meaning they’d pretty much be in the same boat she’s in canonically.

[ronaldpagar]

If she outlived her friends, which means she either she died like a hero or live Long enough to herself as a villain

[Rubberduckie]

Ahh, man. The part where twilight slowly loses her friends just broke me. Amazing job!

[LYsiIIi]

I don't know if anyone else noticed this BUT I really loved how Twilight has medals representing Celestia and Luna (Sun and Moon) and how she's taken on the responsibility of them both, also when she has a bloody hand and there's broken glass there's an image or mural (if that's what they're called) of i think Celestia followed up by Twilight throwing her medal showing how she's upset at her for something, maybe making her immortal and out living her friends.

I really love this short animation and i just think it shows what happened very nicely if you pay close attention❤

[littlecat]

Very interested in the concept of Twi over time coming to resent Celestia, someone she used to look up to and revere as almost holy, because of the messed up situation she was forced into by her

[dokibunni]

looking at the thumbnail i was confused if this was mlp or a new series that came out with the same acronym, and now i'm sobbing violently. this is a beautiful animation, and i love the way you conveyed twilight's former years and having to lose her friends. being immortal while everyone around you is growing older seems terrifying.

[isaacvasquez]

I like the little detail of Twilight's smile when all her friends are old and little by little it transforms into a sad face when most of her loved ones died.

[mikaasav]

I don’t know much about Celestia’s lore, but even if she’s similar to Twilight or not, this made me realize that she must’ve experienced something similar too.
