@@sati_the_swapshitThen the same would happen to the other mane 6 with their families and friends like CMC, Starlight, Trixie among others Also think that Candence is princess of love and Shinning armor isn't inmortal too, she will suffer the same as Twilight :(
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.
OMG I'm just watching the video and I just noticed that too, in fact I left a comment about it and now I read the comments and find yours with the same perspective, it was very curious and funny to me
@@evelili Hi! I am obsessed with this but just have one question. Is there a certain story and such of that 'run' part at the end? What does it indicate exactly? Do you mean she abandons her duties? Su*cide?
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.
And yet the oh so wise ruler of the sun chose a girl with a family, made her have friends, only to make her watch them die. She also cultivated another princess, one whos power was love, only for her to lose that love when he eventuality also passes, though she at least got a piece of him that will remain as eternal as she, her own child, at least they have one another, and then I guess the auntie can be comforted by the two as well. But even still all three will have their duties that will keep them all too busy to support one another in a way they all need.
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.
Don’t worry, it’s not cannon. One of the creators said at a con that twilight will not outlive her friends which disproves this theory… However I think they were just trying to make some kind of room to create a plot for the sequel, or maybe they just didn’t want a kids show to have such a sad ending.
@@alimonlemonIt kinda is though, If you actually look, Twilight still looks young but the others are actually close to death compared to her in the last episode of MLPFIM
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
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.
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!
@@Harsovoimaa the first frame is the element of magic. the second is the crown from the finale. there are 2 crowns in this video, hope that clears it up
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.”
A small comfort is that she still has the princesses, Cadence, flurry heart and discord. But then I think about how fluttershy was Discord's first friend and I get sad again 😢
@@PramkLunaConsidering that Discord essentially knew both Luna and Celestia before they used the Elements of Harmony to turn him to stone, he'd likely be the longest-lived of everyone/everypony in Equestria. I'm sure that with Discord she could reflect on their memories of Fluttershy
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.
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❤
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.
discord and cadence will have really hard time when shining armor and Fluttershy leaves too. so much maybe discord will do some crazy chaos magic to make Fluttershy near immortal too
0:40 at that time you see that all 3 photos are ruined indicating that the other princess are probably dead, stopped being princess or are really old I believe and also isn’t her brother dead? He isn’t immortal and won’t live forever and I think the princess of the heart kingdom (forgot name) is dead cuz she didn’t have the flowing hair
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.
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.
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.
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
I really loved this part 0:42 the way it shows Twilight smile slowly descending each time her friends pass away starting from the earth pony, to pegasus and lastly the unicorn and if she wasn't an alicorn she would have pass away together with Rarity
I honestly like to think Twilight was the last princess, aside from Flurry. The idea that she'd outlive all her friends stuck in my mind. It made me wonder if Twilight ever passed on the mantle.
Considering G5, im pretty sure Twilight WAS the last princess/ruler of equestria. But we can't really take G5 into account considering the windigo's didn't return even after the ponies fought and divided.
I think what hurts even more is that Twilight isn't like Celestia in that she has an immortal sibling, and isn't like Cadence where she has an immortal daughter. Yeah, technically they have each other, but they don't all live in the same building, and they both cared for Twilight, so Twilight probably sees them more as mentors than friends. She even sees Luna as a mentor despite little involvement in her life. Flurry would be next, but, again, they don't live in the same building. She lives a whole kingdom over, and, knowing how busy leaders can be, you know they don't meet up often. Twilight is pretty much by herself and no one to help with the pain.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a humanized version of these characters before. This is really cool, and I’d love to see more of this! Feels like there’s a whole world of lore and story just underneath the surface. I’m excited to watch more of your stuff!
The unspoken tragedy of Twilight outliving her friends is the biggest reason why I wish she was still present in G5. I know they wanted to make way for the new gen but I think keeping Twilight as a mentor figure or sorts for the new MCs wouldn't have been overdoing it.
Ahhh I love this so much!! I always thought human mlp would be great with a magical girl anime vibe kinda. Well, this is definitely finally scratching that itch of mine. I felt my heart exploding while watching this because I loved it so much. My favorite part of it all is when her gaze shifts to Rarity once she's the only one remaining, but her expression is unchanged because she's trying to keep it all in and be the ruler she's meant to be like "death is part of life, I knew this was coming, I know that she'll leave too, it's okay, everything is okay" and then when she's gone she breaks down because of course she does, her friends were her identity and purpose and inspiration for life. I love Twilight so so much and I love your depiction of her the most. I love the way you've told the story and the way you've animated it and all the feelings. I get so much serotonin watching this and feeling the feels. So freaking well done, I cannot overstate how much I love this.
ahhh thank u for the detailed comment im so glad u enjoyed it!! twilight is a rlly special character to me, and even if ik its not smth that can b explored in the canon of the kids show, i think the concept of immortality and outliving the people u love can b so so heartwrenching,,,, so ofc i had to get those feelings across, even if it hurts for the charas haha ;v;
Really nice work! I'll admit I generally don't care much for humanised designs, but I quite enjoy your designs, especially the princesses in uniforms ones, you do the formal wear very well. Then the topic of the video, I have my own hot opinions about it but I always like to see how people interpret it, and it fits the music so well. I also have to commend the animation itself, extremely well done, it works so nicely with the sharp designs and all the little details are great. The sword is super neat, the blood drop looks great, and the hair, like damn, that hair... Congrats! You can and should be proud of this one.
tysm! i tried a bunch of diff things w this vid (eg, i 3d modeled the sword so id have an easier reference), and im super glad you enjoyed the effort i put into these little details ^^ thanks for watching!
This made me headcanon the lesser the magic one pony has, the shorter their lifespan is. Applejack and Pinkie Pie died first because they're an Earth Pony. They have the less magic out of the three species, follows along by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy because Pegasus have a lot more magic compared to Earth Pony, and then, there is the unicorn. Which has the biggest magic among them all-All of course except for Alicorn. That's why Rarity died lasts. Before Twilight was left alone. Also a random scene where Rarity and Twilight talked in their last Tea Party. (Beware cringe writing I've gotten rustic over the month) “You've been colder lately, dear.” Rarity said, dainty hand holding the steaming cup. Eyeing the massive pile of documents towering around the room. “Spike's been worried.” _Me too_ was left unsaid. Twilight knows Rarity long enough to see it through. She diverted her stare at her long and last mortal companion. Rarity's enchanting nature has never rusted out of her despite her growing age, despite the strip of white around her hair, her eyes hold the same shimmer that appears when she donated her investment and condolences to the poorer village at the East-wrecked by war, the one that look at her with compassion once she cradled her tight: crying at Rainbow Dash's funeral. She never fails to look mesmerizing even in her possible last year of living. “Things have been... Busy.” -lonely- Twilight replied, watching the steam pouring out of her cup. She didn't want to worried Rarity with her problem, but the work are the only thing that could required her entire attention and left her unconscious in the night. Rarity only offered her a sad smile. “It's scary, is it?” “The fear of mortality?” Twilight spoke, quietly. “Fear of loneliness.” She specified, not corrected-Twilight would've been right. She does fear mortality, not for her own. But to watched them died and became the last one standing. “Spike's still with me.” “He does, but it does little to eased the emptiness, is it?” Rarity felt it too. The day her sister moved out of their house, Opal was still there, she does keep her company, but she still felt it. The looming empty feeling. The same goes for when Pinkie pie died that night. Everyone had gathered for a sleepover. But it's missing something. The laughter felt different. Twilight didn't say a word. Only watching Rarity take a sip of her cup. “Half-empty nest syndrome.” She murmurs. That was their last interactions, before three days later here Twilight was, standing alone. As Rarity was put to her final rest. She didn't cry. Not like Spike-No words came out either as they buried the casket. It was only when nobody was around did she said something, did Twilight cry. “I missed you.” _All of you._
I love that the only colors that appear besides black and white are the toned down yellow and purple, which is taking the focus since its twilight's color and she's now alone so the other 5 colors are completely faded out. Great video! im still mesmerized at how you could portray Twilight's loneliness so well! (Edit: Technically its pink but nonetheless its still beautiful)
I love the little detail on the aging as time goes by, I also love the rings on fluttershy and pinkie pie’s fingers, brought a smile to my face. It’s just barely noticeable, but I noticed when pinkie and apple Jack disappeared, twilights smile is smaller just a little bit smaller than before and it’s almost unnoticeable. Little details like that go a long way to make a truly amazing experience. (Also your human designs are awesome, twilight with the glowing hair and formal attire are something I didn’t know I needed until now.) awesome work overall!
ah, good eye! in the "older" versions, i wanted to keep the designs close to the finale from the show, so it was fun to throw little details in that i could ^^ and im glad u like twi's design, hers is the inspiration for the whole au!
@@wind_scratch8387 i was intending for it to line up with canon, like with pinkie + cheese, and fluttershy + discord, but i dont mind it the other way either if u prefer ^^
Your depiction of Humanised Ponies is so much better than Equestria Girls. You gave them different bodies with personalities. I do hate the fact that basically everyone has same body types in EG.
That last scene of her looking back with her sword drawn, then disappearing leaving her crown behind makes me think she is now going to hunt down Celestia and seek some sort of revenge or justice for essentially forcing immortality on her. Or maybe she rejects the position of princess and just leaves. Perhaps to live in solitude, to seek an end to her life, or maybe to find a way to bring her friends back. I'd definitely love to see more of this story unfold. I'm subbing and gonna keep an eye out for more!
rlly cool theories! it's intentionally ambiguous, so anything could be correct ^^ and thank you so much for the support, i hope to explore this au more in the future when i get time!
It's is beautiful yet saddening at the same time. Really presents the underlying problem of the whole princesshood for Twilight: she may have achieved the highest possible outcome for herself, but in returne she traded everything she had prior to making that leap to immortality.
the curse of immortality. you'll outlive all those you care for. heh, who would have a thought. a MLP animation would bring me to tears. the style is so good! the grey, dulled tone, is not what you'd expect from an MLP animation, but it works perfectly. also the hair, AMAZING, the smoothness of the hair flowing is amazing. Also, the eyes, so emotive. also, love the clothing. (I like military esk styled clothing). not typical for a princess (normally dresses and stuff) which makes it unique. reminds me of a character I have. he was immortal, and the others warned not to grow attached to mortals. but he wanted to learn about them, to understand them. he just assumed it was older people thinking they knew better. so, he ignored these warnings, and went down to live with mortals. he made so many friends... he loved them all... they built a home for their own. They made paradise. He had the time of his life. never in the thousands of years he's lived, had he felt so alive. he lived not as a god, but as a person, surrounded by people who loved him for him. but, he outlived them all. after all, he was immortal. one by one, his friends faded. so, now, there he sat. alone. in his gleaming palace, on a throne of gleaming gems, surrounded by the riches of his immortal life. but it didn't feel like home. without his friends, his... family. the universe felt lifeless and empty. and so did he.
woaaaaah! Im absolutely eating this up. This concept of twi outlining them all never actually crossed my mind.. The angst, the destaurated color with the pop of pink, the character designs.. everything just flows so nicely. 😮 also the hair animation is insanely delicious
Honestly, the end of mlp always had me wondering about this, not to mention Shining Armour and Cadence. I just have to say, though, I NEED THAT SWORD 😭.
ahh, shining and cadance breaks my heart thinking about it ;-; (and, actually, i 3d modeled the sword to assist with perspective, so perhaps one day i will print it to join my sword collection lol)
Omg. I’ve watched this about a hundred times now, this is AMAZING! All the little details are just genius. The limited colors give it such a solemn vibe and don’t get me STARTED on the part when all of twilights friends start disappearing one by one. The song fits it really well, and I like the detail of when it says “how did I get here” and twilight throws celestia’s badge.
The concept of Twilight denouncing her royalty and going insane because of the death of all of her friends is something that would be so interesting to see.
Wow, even if this vid was just one minute, it had many cool details. Like, when Twilights element switched to Twilights crown, and I also like to think that Twilight was once happy to put on her crown and save equestria with her friends but now she is forced to wear her crown. I also liked how you used muted and grey tones to represent twilights anger and sadness. The first drone of the video shows the mane six, they aren’t old nor is twilights hair floating, probably showing the days that they were young. But gradually, they pass, leaving twilight angered and alone. I love the amount of detail you put into this vid, I just live when people explore the lore of where twilight must live alone.
wowza, you have great eyes! you caught on a lot what i was going for, im impressed. i think twi's situation at the end of the show is really interesting, and has a lot of potential to explore different depths of her character, so im glad that you could enjoy what i did in this animation ^^
I REALLY like the designs in this. It’s very well done- the symbolism with the medals is really well done and you can really feel twilights frustration as the animation goes on. Twilight is so special as a character to me and I love to see pony content in 2023
I love the outfits especially twilights the military garb looks amazing it's also hint to her brother and his job not sure intentional or not but it fits so much
i think that was unintentional, but thats a cool connection! mainly, i felt the princesses could have a more “prince charming” vibe, since that type of formalwear is a lot more functional in a fight/adventure than poofy dresses haha
i absolutely love how regal and stoic you drew twilight here, she honestly looks so dead and traumatized and i kind of love your execution on that lol. as terrible as that sounds for me to say! i also appreciate that you weren't lazy on animating her hair. this video looks like you put a lot of care into it. i'm super glad you made this, i'm watching it over and over
I love your designs for every character. The variety in design (such as height, clothes, skin tone, etc) is so creative and I love it! And man, this sad fact of Twilight outliving her friends just sends chills down my spine. I love how you represented this through gray tones and pink/light gold accents. Amazing job!! 💕💕
i don't know anything about mlp besides a cursory surface level knowledge from pop culture. BUT!! this meme is amazing!! the dour setting, the constant waviness of twilight's hair, the detailed backgrounds -- it's so good!! the frame that makes me think the most is the one where it's only her and rarity, and she's no longer lookin forward but at rarity. I'm guessing she's the only one around because she's a unicorn? Do unicorns have longer lifespans than pegasi, who have longer lifespans than horses? either, she's the only one left. I think that at this point rarity would be the only one twilight really confided in -- they're the kind of friends who remain close even through adulthood, but maybe rarity is better at connecting since she's mortal and twilight isn't, which leads the latter to become more isolated, which is compounded by people no longer seeing her as just a regular person but some sort of deity (or at the very least a very powerful ruler.) She might become more paranoid, or might start distancing herself for rarity's inevitable death. After it happens, she finds no more purpose in being ruler the part where the music says "I guess I thought that it was gonna be fun" while she faces the throne with her sword out is also so impactful. Because, yeah, wouldn't anyone want to be queen? Being magically powerful, having your friends around you as you make the world better -- it sounds nice. But everything's gray now. It's not like it used to be, and she's stayed stagnant all this time, or at least her growth is now unacknowledged. tldr i love this
whoa, i love your analysis! for not knowing too much abt mlp, you're pretty spot on ^^ i headcanon that more magic = longer lifespan, so unicorns > pegasi > earth ponies. and yea, i do imagine as her friends pass, twi would become more and more isolated, even perhaps from her surviving friends, in order to try and spare herself from grief,,, thank you so much for watching, im glad you liked it!
This animation displays so much emotion. The primarily achromatic use of color combined with the faint highlights depicts Twilight's perspective. The hands being used as a sense of time passing is neat. Your art style is so cohesive and voices a completely different tone to the core show. The glitchy transitions feel as if this is a distant memory of Twilight, fading away ever so slightly. 0:42 What I love about this scene is how everything darkens and the fact that Twilight is the main focus; one very exceptional detail is the order of the presumed loss. The earth ponies go, preceding with the pegasi, unicorn, until only Twilight, the sole alicorn of her friends remain; reflecting upon their association with magic and how it affects their lifespan. Twilight's slight grin slowly fading and her eyes finally settling whilst staring deeply at her last friend adds so much detail. Now I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but their placement may be linked to their closeness (with the out-livers being closer to the center and shorter lifespan further). Notice how Twilight is consistently staring directly at the camera as if she is aware of her fate and is left pondering it. Additionally, Twilight is shown to be the only one with glinted pupils, which is a fairly common design innuendo which shows one's awareness or knowledge. Rarity is also shown being cross-eyed throughout this scene; which may suggest her lack of knowledge in a sense. There is much more I want to analyze about this bite-sized masterpiece of an animation. But this comment is getting too long so that's all from me.
Super off topic, but I never realized this as a kid how symbolic their names were to their personalities/ physical traits and abilities. Pinkypie: sweet personality (like pie) Rarity: a “rare gem” as in the kind of person you don’t come across to often (in a good way) Fluttershy: pretty self explanatory but she’s very shy Rainbow-dash: also self explanatory, very fast flyer Applejack: farmer+jacked with muscle Twilight-sparkle: this is the only one I had trouble with but her name could be foreshadowing of her as Celestia and Luna’s heir since all their names associate with astronomy and the sky (Celestia=Celestial meaning “having to do with outer space or astronomy) (Luna is the Spanish word for moon) (Twilight= the period or the light from the sky between full night and sunrise or between sunset and full night, and Sparkle could refer to a sparkling star, even more specifically the North Star since it’s the brightest star in the sky and she’s super smart as well as it’s used to point the way, and leaders are also supposed to point the way)
I Never comment on videos but i really cant Help but express how much I truly love this oh my gosh The expressions, subtle animation, and color pallet are so amazing and well constructed here!
that was amazing I legit watched it a few dozen times. I love the contrast of the fluidity of the hair and the sharp frames of movement, as well as the grey against the purple perfection!!
And this is why you need to keep expanding your social circle, Queen Purplesmart. Left to its own devices, it inevitably contracts. (Gorgeous, heartbreaking work, Evelili.)
This is a beautiful mlp project you made! These characters models are perfect and the emotion you put into it was twilight in a happy mood with her friends turned into sad without her friends keep up the good work
Can we talk about these designs for a moment? EASILY the best human designs for the mane six. They capture their personalities really well while also making them feel super unique from one another with great body and skin diversity. I am obsessed.
one of my favorite songs combined with my favorite character??? count me in!! but actually, I can’t stop rewatching this. the animation is simplistic in the best way & the color palette is perfect
0:34 I just peeped this, but is the blood dripping caused from Twilight punching a hole in Celestia’s face in the glass window? If so, it’s mood and definitely correlates with Twilights resentment towards being the new ruler 😭 Celestia put all that pressure on her just to rule over Equestria BY HERSELF and not even warn her ahead of time. Like sure she prepared her but she literally just gave her the powers and said “lol rule my country!1” I honestly don’t blame Twilight for leaving in the end, lol. Although I’d like to believe Cadence was there with her for a short moment but who knows. This was beautiful made tho bro and the humanized versions of the ponies is literally spot on 👏🏽❤️ (it’s also abt time someone explored how much of a burden twilight’s position rlly is, my god 💀)
hey!! tysm for the in depth comment ahhh, i really appreciate it! actually, i think you're the first person to notice what happens in that scene (at least who have commented), so im glad that it wasnt too obscure ^^ i think cadance would support twi, but i also can imagine the grief of losing shining eventually could have her turn out the same way... plus, with her being in the crystal empire, and twi ruling equestria, i imagine they wouldnt have a lot of time to see each other ;-; and yea, i wouldnt ever want to be in twilights position; even tho it's obvs a kids show the finale had a ton of implications abt the future that i thought would b neat to explore with this :D thanks again for watching!
I'm sorry to remind you, but Cadence is the princess of the crystal heart. All of the princesses do not live long, they literally give themselves for the right to ascend the throne, their lives. They give their lives for various reasons, but I think Cadence will not live long either, even considering that she was saved once. I love the theme that the crystal heart consists of fragments of the souls of past princesses and over time it gets bigger, and then it decreases, because the fragments of the soul break completely. To support him, they always need a new ruler and a new villain. Literally, harmony, from dead bodies. The concept that all the crystals in the Kingdom consist of the bodies of ponies that once lived there is the best. Even the daughter of Cadence, with all her strength, will not live long, this is the life cycle of the Crystal Kingdom. I think Sparkle would have caught how at least four princesses of the Crystal Kingdom change. Oh no, I'm only making things worse with my concept!
It's so good!❤️🥺 The animation is beautiful! All the movements are smooth, and the appearance of the characters is made atypical, with its own twist.I like Twilight in costume, and with a sword, she looks so majestic.This animation made me revisit the animated series and remind me how good the show is🫶
Dude. I am not a MLP fan. Every few years I try to get into it but I can't. But what I am, is an MLP FAN, fan. And things like this are exactly why. Amazing art, brilliantly done 👏
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO HEAVENLY!!! THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH, probably my most favorite part is the "help" where she puts her sword back. This is such an amazing concept and a lot of details were put on thought with this! Im looking forward to your future works
I find it a teribble idea for celestia and luna to make twilight the only immortal one, even though she is the PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP and her friends are the ELEMENTS OF HARMONY
ive been rewatching this so many times i just cant get enough of this oh my gosh. i checked out your art on other platforms too and your art style looks so edible, i absolutely love your twilight design hoooo boy shes so gender
@@evelili her old crown changing into her new one really did it for me! also awesome! do you write about MLP? and her only slightly smiling when her friends are getting older and she isn't... fuck!! she only gets more stern and more distant, the more she loses. Does your Twilight resent Celestia for making her immortal? this is amazing... and as tempest said, "the Princess of Friendship, with no friends." edit again: might be overthinking it, but I didn't understand the bloody sword at first, but now thinking of it with the two smashed mirrors beside her... did she kill Celestia and Luna? Or did she attempt suicide? Or murder suicide? edit AGAIN: that's not Twilight in the middle mirror!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS!! this changes a lot last edit: also if you have a twitter or something i would follow you!! also if we could also talk about ponies somewhere, that would also be cool. my art isn't half as good as yours, but I make pony art too. (if you're confused about all the notifications, I crammed all of my replies into one. I'm an avid MLP fan, so whenever I get the chance I will ramble, so sorry.)
@@bongobing0 heya! yes i do, u can find me on fimfic w the same username! tho, mostly ive done eqg content haha as for the bloody hand, honestly my intention was she just cut herself smashing the stained glass, but im also ok leaving it open for people to interpret however they want! u can find links to my other socials on my profile here (as well as the usernames at the end of the vid), i will say that i dont tend to engage much in dms, but my tumblr askbox is always open for questions ^^ im glad youve enjoyed the video!
OMG OMG OMG ¡This is a masterpiece! the costumes and character design are spectacular ❤ and how the sadness and pain in a heart with an enormous weight is so heartbreaking and well expressed in every movement and scene ¡Wonderful job! 👏👏👏
Мне очень нравится стиль анимации. Во внешности персонажа как будто проскакивают основные его черты и так классно передается ощущение того, что твои друзья "уходят", а ты будешь продолжать жить дальше
This is why I love The Sunset of a Frozen Princess. The fic is probably dead since it hasn't been updated in 2 years but I'm holding out hope. The idea of a jaded Twilight clinging to an old friend is very interesting. This is a wonderful animation! I can see how this leads to Opaline taking power as well. Twilight has no friendship to give, so she ignores the problems popping up around her and buries herself in happier memories. Before she dies she sends a message to the next generation in hopes that they can fix what she ultimately let happen.
i love that one too! Im on chapter 20 rn and i can't believe i have 1 more after it.. the author did say there would be quite a long gap considering their employed now. Just hope they come back soon!
This is kind of thematic in a way since Twilight is the princess of friendship, it sort of makes sense to me that she steps down after Rarity dies. Lovely video
SKJFHALSKDJFH I saw this two days ago and I don't usually comment on things, but I just wanted to say that you have got me HOOKED on your work. First of all, it's been a while since I've seen anything MLP related, and you have grabbed me by the neck and dragged me back into this pit kicking and screaming. Second, the animation is so SMOOOOOTH. I LOVE TWILIGHT'S HAIR. I LOVE THE MILITARY OUTFIT. I LOVE ALL THE OUTFITS. I LOVE THE GLITCHY EFFECTS. I LOVE THE SWORD. I LOVE SEEING TWILIGHT'S REFLECTION IN THE SWORD. I LOVE ALL HER LITTLE GLARES. I LOVE THE MINIMAL COLORS COLOR SCHEME THINGY. I LOVE THE DISEMBODIED HANDS CLAPPING. I LOVE THE LITTLE SLUMP OF TWILIGHT'S SHOULDERS AFTER EVERYONE IS GONE (Actually that was pretty sad you're paying for my therapy. But I still love it in a it hurts so good way.) Third, THE ANGSTTTTTT UGHHHH. I've always wondered how Twilight would handle being immortal and outliving and I love how you've captured that here. I would love to see more of this AU!!! Fourth, after watching your Villains animatic I ended up binge reading The Twilight Effect in two hours instead of studying for my programming exam that morning lol. But it was sooooooooo goooooood. Anyways, I'm done aggressively fangirling, but I'm definitely sticking around for your work. P.S. Imagine my screaming at you and shaking you back and forth during the second paragraph BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FEEL. 💜💜
ahhhh wow thank u so much for the detailed comment! please pretend i am answering this as i am shaken back and forth ^^ im glad that i could help drag u back to mlp! actually, the same thing happened to me a year ago suddenly due to other writers and artists, so it is fitting for me to carry on the cycle :P this particular animation was a spontaneous project fueled a little bit by personal angst, and im very happy to know that it can resonate with u in a way that conveys the same feeling ^^ (though, even reducing the framerate compared to villain, it was a lot of effort to make the animation smooth OTL). i will happily pay for the therapy, i think i should make an appointment too xd and, wow!! reading my magnum opus in 2 hours, thats amazing,,,, im so happy you gave it a try, it’s the creation im most proud of so far. even if i cant surpass it again easily, i want to do my best to create more things to give the similar feeling of, “wow, i want to read this all in one go!”, so it makes me very happy to know you enjoyed the story. thank you so much for reading it!
i havent watched mlp since i was younger and i only know the context of this animatic throught the comments but oh my god this is making me feel so many emotions 😭 beautiful animation and a perfect song to match
A pain goes through my heart to think about it and you potrayed the idea very well I also love how it highlights some important things about them or just to make you know its them and I also love the human versions 🩵

I love it when people explore the angst of Twily outliving her best friends because of her princesshood.
it's such a tragic concept and it has not left my brain since the moment i saw it in the finale!!!
One of the reasons why all mane 6 should have become princesses
I've had the thought in my head since Twi became an Alicorn
@@sati_the_swapshitThen the same would happen to the other mane 6 with their families and friends like CMC, Starlight, Trixie among others
Also think that Candence is princess of love and Shinning armor isn't inmortal too, she will suffer the same as Twilight :(

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.
yeah! thats what i was going for, im glad u noticed :D
omg i was about to comment that
it was so cool (and sad)
OMG I'm just watching the video and I just noticed that too, in fact I left a comment about it and now I read the comments and find yours with the same perspective, it was very curious and funny to me
Ayyy I’m like 999
Earth ponies have a connection to earth-related magic, have they not?
Love the touch of Military Regalia, as Twilight would no doubt take on ALL roles as a leader. Great work!
thanks so much for watching!
Yeah
@@evelili Hi! I am obsessed with this but just have one question. Is there a certain story and such of that 'run' part at the end? What does it indicate exactly? Do you mean she abandons her duties? Su*cide?
@@redreezy7267 i have specific outcome in mind but ive left it ambiguous on purpose
@@evelili i love this animation so much. It really gives us a deeper understanding of the entire show and its characters
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.
yeag,,, immortality do got consequences like that huh :,)
Idk if Luna planned to considering she was in the moon. I’d assume that was Celestias plan all along.
And Celestia's loneliness only gets worse after banishment
And yet the oh so wise ruler of the sun chose a girl with a family, made her have friends, only to make her watch them die. She also cultivated another princess, one whos power was love, only for her to lose that love when he eventuality also passes, though she at least got a piece of him that will remain as eternal as she, her own child, at least they have one another, and then I guess the auntie can be comforted by the two as well. But even still all three will have their duties that will keep them all too busy to support one another in a way they all need.
@@viridia1526Luna pulls out the Starswirl book at the end of the S3 premiere, she was absolutely also in on it.
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.
Don’t worry, it’s not cannon. One of the creators said at a con that twilight will not outlive her friends which disproves this theory… However I think they were just trying to make some kind of room to create a plot for the sequel, or maybe they just didn’t want a kids show to have such a sad ending.
And Cadence, the Princess of Love, will outlive Shining Armor.
@@alimonlemonIt kinda is though, If you actually look, Twilight still looks young but the others are actually close to death compared to her in the last episode of MLPFIM
@@lolli_popplesYep
@@lolli_popplesthat's what I've been thinking about... she doesn't get enough recognition
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
you get it
the shows rating just couldn't show us the dark side of the pony world.

@@Mixocoree no such thing as too late ^^ glad you like it!
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!
good eye for detail :) im glad you liked it!
She had the crown tho she was royalty
@@HarsovoimaaI believe that's just her Element Tiara thing. The next frame has her wearing the ACTUAL crown.
@@namelessstranger1270 that was the crown given to her when she became a princess
@@Harsovoimaa the first frame is the element of magic. the second is the crown from the finale. there are 2 crowns in this video, hope that clears it up
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.”
oh, this is a lovely story you’ve written. thank you for sharing it ^^
A small comfort is that she still has the princesses, Cadence, flurry heart and discord.
But then I think about how fluttershy was Discord's first friend and I get sad again 😢
@@PramkLunaConsidering that Discord essentially knew both Luna and Celestia before they used the Elements of Harmony to turn him to stone, he'd likely be the longest-lived of everyone/everypony in Equestria. I'm sure that with Discord she could reflect on their memories of Fluttershy
I’m begging you, make a one shot or something on ao3 🙏🏼
man i cried at this
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.
oh no
like apple jacks mother
I just can't imagine the cutie mark crusaders dying of old age before their sisters when originally they were much more younger than them
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❤
wow, good eye! tysm for watching ^^
Actually obsessed with your Twilight design. Love the concept of the princess’s wearing these soldier-like uniforms instead of big dresses >>>
thank you! i had some fun designing this “prince(ss) charming” ^^
If she outlived her friends, which means she either she died like a hero or live Long enough to herself as a villain
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.
chances are shes also going to outlive all of them besides discord 😔
discord and cadence will have really hard time when shining armor and Fluttershy leaves too. so much maybe discord will do some crazy chaos magic to make Fluttershy near immortal too
0:40 at that time you see that all 3 photos are ruined indicating that the other princess are probably dead, stopped being princess or are really old I believe and also isn’t her brother dead? He isn’t immortal and won’t live forever and I think the princess of the heart kingdom (forgot name) is dead cuz she didn’t have the flowing hair
Spike unfortunately isn’t immortal…😢
@@strawberrymilk_nya but they canonically live thousands of years tho, right?
Ahh, man. The part where twilight slowly loses her friends just broke me. Amazing job!
it broke me while drawing it too dw :,) thanks for watching!
Also she will lose her parents and brother but not her niece and sister in law
@@SailorCoockiebut as the princess of friendship her friends dying will have the biggest impact on her.
@@strawberrymilk_nya obviously, but I was saying just about not only her friends dying
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.
im so glad you liked it! it's a terrifying thing to think about, this "curse" of immortality...
@@eveliliSooo, alicorns only live forever except earth ponies, pegasus's and unicorns?
@@Capr1c0rn4rtist yep, just alicorns ^^
@@evelili Oh, ok ty :>
0:20 ok, but that is a sick sword design.
ty! it was a lot of fun to design and model :)
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.
nice eye!
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.
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
im glad u like it! it’s something i’ve always thought about at the back of my mind, considering it seems twi never had a choice in the matter….
I really loved this part 0:42 the way it shows Twilight smile slowly descending each time her friends pass away starting from the earth pony, to pegasus and lastly the unicorn and if she wasn't an alicorn she would have pass away together with Rarity
I honestly like to think Twilight was the last princess, aside from Flurry. The idea that she'd outlive all her friends stuck in my mind. It made me wonder if Twilight ever passed on the mantle.
Knowing Twilight, she'd probably just end up bearing it so nobody else will ever have to again.
Considering G5, im pretty sure Twilight WAS the last princess/ruler of equestria. But we can't really take G5 into account considering the windigo's didn't return even after the ponies fought and divided.
I think what hurts even more is that Twilight isn't like Celestia in that she has an immortal sibling, and isn't like Cadence where she has an immortal daughter.
Yeah, technically they have each other, but they don't all live in the same building, and they both cared for Twilight, so Twilight probably sees them more as mentors than friends. She even sees Luna as a mentor despite little involvement in her life.
Flurry would be next, but, again, they don't live in the same building. She lives a whole kingdom over, and, knowing how busy leaders can be, you know they don't meet up often.
Twilight is pretty much by herself and no one to help with the pain.
I don’t think I’ve ever seen a humanized version of these characters before. This is really cool, and I’d love to see more of this! Feels like there’s a whole world of lore and story just underneath the surface. I’m excited to watch more of your stuff!
ahh tysm! i kind of have bits and pieces of Lore floating around my head, and id love to explore more of this au eventually whenever i get time ^^
humanized is great, there was a lot of humanized art before EQG was announced and it’s a lot of fun to peruse
Ive seen many. This is just one of the GOOD ones
The unspoken tragedy of Twilight outliving her friends is the biggest reason why I wish she was still present in G5. I know they wanted to make way for the new gen but I think keeping Twilight as a mentor figure or sorts for the new MCs wouldn't have been overdoing it.
Ahhh I love this so much!! I always thought human mlp would be great with a magical girl anime vibe kinda. Well, this is definitely finally scratching that itch of mine. I felt my heart exploding while watching this because I loved it so much. My favorite part of it all is when her gaze shifts to Rarity once she's the only one remaining, but her expression is unchanged because she's trying to keep it all in and be the ruler she's meant to be like "death is part of life, I knew this was coming, I know that she'll leave too, it's okay, everything is okay" and then when she's gone she breaks down because of course she does, her friends were her identity and purpose and inspiration for life. I love Twilight so so much and I love your depiction of her the most. I love the way you've told the story and the way you've animated it and all the feelings. I get so much serotonin watching this and feeling the feels. So freaking well done, I cannot overstate how much I love this.
ahhh thank u for the detailed comment im so glad u enjoyed it!! twilight is a rlly special character to me, and even if ik its not smth that can b explored in the canon of the kids show, i think the concept of immortality and outliving the people u love can b so so heartwrenching,,,, so ofc i had to get those feelings across, even if it hurts for the charas haha ;v;

I'll admit I generally don't care much for humanised designs, but I quite enjoy your designs, especially the princesses in uniforms ones, you do the formal wear very well. Then the topic of the video, I have my own hot opinions about it but I always like to see how people interpret it, and it fits the music so well.
I also have to commend the animation itself, extremely well done, it works so nicely with the sharp designs and all the little details are great. The sword is super neat, the blood drop looks great, and the hair, like damn, that hair...
Congrats! You can and should be proud of this one.

@@ham5646 i don't know what that is, so no, not intentionally
This made me headcanon the lesser the magic one pony has, the shorter their lifespan is. Applejack and Pinkie Pie died first because they're an Earth Pony. They have the less magic out of the three species, follows along by Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy because Pegasus have a lot more magic compared to Earth Pony, and then, there is the unicorn. Which has the biggest magic among them all-All of course except for Alicorn. That's why Rarity died lasts. Before Twilight was left alone.
Also a random scene where Rarity and Twilight talked in their last Tea Party. (Beware cringe writing I've gotten rustic over the month)
“You've been colder lately, dear.” Rarity said, dainty hand holding the steaming cup. Eyeing the massive pile of documents towering around the room. “Spike's been worried.” _Me too_ was left unsaid. Twilight knows Rarity long enough to see it through.
She diverted her stare at her long and last mortal companion. Rarity's enchanting nature has never rusted out of her despite her growing age, despite the strip of white around her hair, her eyes hold the same shimmer that appears when she donated her investment and condolences to the poorer village at the East-wrecked by war, the one that look at her with compassion once she cradled her tight: crying at Rainbow Dash's funeral. She never fails to look mesmerizing even in her possible last year of living.
“Things have been... Busy.” -lonely- Twilight replied, watching the steam pouring out of her cup. She didn't want to worried Rarity with her problem, but the work are the only thing that could required her entire attention and left her unconscious in the night.
Rarity only offered her a sad smile. “It's scary, is it?”
“The fear of mortality?” Twilight spoke, quietly.
“Fear of loneliness.” She specified, not corrected-Twilight would've been right. She does fear mortality, not for her own. But to watched them died and became the last one standing.
“Spike's still with me.”
“He does, but it does little to eased the emptiness, is it?” Rarity felt it too. The day her sister moved out of their house, Opal was still there, she does keep her company, but she still felt it. The looming empty feeling.
The same goes for when Pinkie pie died that night. Everyone had gathered for a sleepover. But it's missing something. The laughter felt different.
Twilight didn't say a word. Only watching Rarity take a sip of her cup. “Half-empty nest syndrome.” She murmurs.
That was their last interactions, before three days later here Twilight was, standing alone. As Rarity was put to her final rest. She didn't cry. Not like Spike-No words came out either as they buried the casket. It was only when nobody was around did she said something, did Twilight cry.
“I missed you.” _All of you._

I love that the only colors that appear besides black and white are the toned down yellow and purple, which is taking the focus since its twilight's color and she's now alone so the other 5 colors are completely faded out. Great video! im still mesmerized at how you could portray Twilight's loneliness so well! (Edit: Technically its pink but nonetheless its still beautiful)
im glad you liked it! the limited palette was fun to work with, especially since it’s hard to harmonize such a wide variety of colours ^^
I love the little detail on the aging as time goes by, I also love the rings on fluttershy and pinkie pie’s fingers, brought a smile to my face. It’s just barely noticeable, but I noticed when pinkie and apple Jack disappeared, twilights smile is smaller just a little bit smaller than before and it’s almost unnoticeable. Little details like that go a long way to make a truly amazing experience. (Also your human designs are awesome, twilight with the glowing hair and formal attire are something I didn’t know I needed until now.) awesome work overall!
ah, good eye! in the "older" versions, i wanted to keep the designs close to the finale from the show, so it was fun to throw little details in that i could ^^ and im glad u like twi's design, hers is the inspiration for the whole au!
Are they together.
@@wind_scratch8387 i was intending for it to line up with canon, like with pinkie + cheese, and fluttershy + discord, but i dont mind it the other way either if u prefer ^^
I love how even when her friends are still alive, (but aging) she is unhappy. She is smart and knows that she will be all alone soon enough.
Your depiction of Humanised Ponies is so much better than Equestria Girls. You gave them different bodies with personalities.
I do hate the fact that basically everyone has same body types in EG.
im glad you noticed! that's also a pet peeve of mine with eqg, so im happy you liked this interpretation :D
That last scene of her looking back with her sword drawn, then disappearing leaving her crown behind makes me think she is now going to hunt down Celestia and seek some sort of revenge or justice for essentially forcing immortality on her. Or maybe she rejects the position of princess and just leaves. Perhaps to live in solitude, to seek an end to her life, or maybe to find a way to bring her friends back.
I'd definitely love to see more of this story unfold. I'm subbing and gonna keep an eye out for more!
rlly cool theories! it's intentionally ambiguous, so anything could be correct ^^ and thank you so much for the support, i hope to explore this au more in the future when i get time!
So glad to see the mlp community still making beautiful art like this... even if its fewer, and farther imbetween. Lovely work. ❤
tysm for watching!
It's is beautiful yet saddening at the same time.
Really presents the underlying problem of the whole princesshood for Twilight: she may have achieved the highest possible outcome for herself, but in returne she traded everything she had prior to making that leap to immortality.
THIS IS THE SMOOTHEST AND MOST HIGH-QUALITY ANIMATION I HAVE EVER SEEN!!! You deserve more recognition. I'm surprised you don't have 100k+ subs
aw tysm! and well, i dont mind numbers much, it doesn't affect my ability to try making something, dw ^^
the curse of immortality. you'll outlive all those you care for. heh, who would have a thought. a MLP animation would bring me to tears. the style is so good! the grey, dulled tone, is not what you'd expect from an MLP animation, but it works perfectly. also the hair, AMAZING, the smoothness of the hair flowing is amazing. Also, the eyes, so emotive.
also, love the clothing. (I like military esk styled clothing). not typical for a princess (normally dresses and stuff) which makes it unique.
reminds me of a character I have. he was immortal, and the others warned not to grow attached to mortals. but he wanted to learn about them, to understand them. he just assumed it was older people thinking they knew better.
so, he ignored these warnings, and went down to live with mortals. he made so many friends... he loved them all... they built a home for their own. They made paradise. He had the time of his life. never in the thousands of years he's lived, had he felt so alive. he lived not as a god, but as a person, surrounded by people who loved him for him.
but, he outlived them all. after all, he was immortal. one by one, his friends faded.
so, now, there he sat. alone. in his gleaming palace, on a throne of gleaming gems, surrounded by the riches of his immortal life. but it didn't feel like home. without his friends, his... family. the universe felt lifeless and empty. and so did he.
oh, thats an interesting chara! i can defo see the similarities ^^
whAT THIS HAS NO RIGHT TO BE THIS GOOD this… made me feel instead of wanting to cry, just a deep sadness
this is beautiful
thank you so much for watching!
woaaaaah! Im absolutely eating this up. This concept of twi outlining them all never actually crossed my mind.. The angst, the destaurated color with the pop of pink, the character designs.. everything just flows so nicely. 😮
also the hair animation is insanely delicious

im glad you could find it! and tysm, i spent a lot of time designing the outfits and im rlly happy with how they turned out :D
Honestly, the end of mlp always had me wondering about this, not to mention Shining Armour and Cadence. I just have to say, though, I NEED THAT SWORD 😭.
ahh, shining and cadance breaks my heart thinking about it ;-; (and, actually, i 3d modeled the sword to assist with perspective, so perhaps one day i will print it to join my sword collection lol)

Omg. I’ve watched this about a hundred times now, this is AMAZING! All the little details are just genius.
The limited colors give it such a solemn vibe and don’t get me STARTED on the part when all of twilights friends start disappearing one by one.

The concept of Twilight denouncing her royalty and going insane because of the death of all of her friends is something that would be so interesting to see.
Wow, even if this vid was just one minute, it had many cool details. Like, when Twilights element switched to Twilights crown, and I also like to think that Twilight was once happy to put on her crown and save equestria with her friends but now she is forced to wear her crown. I also liked how you used muted and grey tones to represent twilights anger and sadness. The first drone of the video shows the mane six, they aren’t old nor is twilights hair floating, probably showing the days that they were young. But gradually, they pass, leaving twilight angered and alone. I love the amount of detail you put into this vid, I just live when people explore the lore of where twilight must live alone.
wowza, you have great eyes! you caught on a lot what i was going for, im impressed. i think twi's situation at the end of the show is really interesting, and has a lot of potential to explore different depths of her character, so im glad that you could enjoy what i did in this animation ^^
I REALLY like the designs in this. It’s very well done- the symbolism with the medals is really well done and you can really feel twilights frustration as the animation goes on. Twilight is so special as a character to me and I love to see pony content in 2023
thank you so much for watching! she’s a special character to me as well, and im glad you could enjoy this interpretation of her too ^^
I love the outfits especially twilights the military garb looks amazing it's also hint to her brother and his job not sure intentional or not but it fits so much
i think that was unintentional, but thats a cool connection! mainly, i felt the princesses could have a more “prince charming” vibe, since that type of formalwear is a lot more functional in a fight/adventure than poofy dresses haha
i absolutely love how regal and stoic you drew twilight here, she honestly looks so dead and traumatized and i kind of love your execution on that lol. as terrible as that sounds for me to say!
i also appreciate that you weren't lazy on animating her hair. this video looks like you put a lot of care into it. i'm super glad you made this, i'm watching it over and over
I love your designs for every character. The variety in design (such as height, clothes, skin tone, etc) is so creative and I love it! And man, this sad fact of Twilight outliving her friends just sends chills down my spine. I love how you represented this through gray tones and pink/light gold accents. Amazing job!! 💕💕
tysm! im glad u like the designs, i had a lot of fun with them / the colour palette (especially twi) ^^
@@evelili
Of course!! And Twi looks amazing 👑
your human main 6 are beautiful
ahh thank u! yeah, it took a while to do, but im very happy that it turned out the way it did ^^
i don't know anything about mlp besides a cursory surface level knowledge from pop culture. BUT!! this meme is amazing!! the dour setting, the constant waviness of twilight's hair, the detailed backgrounds -- it's so good!! the frame that makes me think the most is the one where it's only her and rarity, and she's no longer lookin forward but at rarity. I'm guessing she's the only one around because she's a unicorn? Do unicorns have longer lifespans than pegasi, who have longer lifespans than horses? either, she's the only one left.
I think that at this point rarity would be the only one twilight really confided in -- they're the kind of friends who remain close even through adulthood, but maybe rarity is better at connecting since she's mortal and twilight isn't, which leads the latter to become more isolated, which is compounded by people no longer seeing her as just a regular person but some sort of deity (or at the very least a very powerful ruler.) She might become more paranoid, or might start distancing herself for rarity's inevitable death. After it happens, she finds no more purpose in being ruler
the part where the music says "I guess I thought that it was gonna be fun" while she faces the throne with her sword out is also so impactful. Because, yeah, wouldn't anyone want to be queen? Being magically powerful, having your friends around you as you make the world better -- it sounds nice. But everything's gray now. It's not like it used to be, and she's stayed stagnant all this time, or at least her growth is now unacknowledged.
tldr i love this
whoa, i love your analysis! for not knowing too much abt mlp, you're pretty spot on ^^ i headcanon that more magic = longer lifespan, so unicorns > pegasi > earth ponies. and yea, i do imagine as her friends pass, twi would become more and more isolated, even perhaps from her surviving friends, in order to try and spare herself from grief,,, thank you so much for watching, im glad you liked it!
This animation displays so much emotion. The primarily achromatic use of color combined with the faint highlights depicts Twilight's perspective. The hands being used as a sense of time passing is neat. Your art style is so cohesive and voices a completely different tone to the core show. The glitchy transitions feel as if this is a distant memory of Twilight, fading away ever so slightly. 0:42 What I love about this scene is how everything darkens and the fact that Twilight is the main focus; one very exceptional detail is the order of the presumed loss. The earth ponies go, preceding with the pegasi, unicorn, until only Twilight, the sole alicorn of her friends remain; reflecting upon their association with magic and how it affects their lifespan. Twilight's slight grin slowly fading and her eyes finally settling whilst staring deeply at her last friend adds so much detail. Now I don't know if anyone has pointed this out, but their placement may be linked to their closeness (with the out-livers being closer to the center and shorter lifespan further). Notice how Twilight is consistently staring directly at the camera as if she is aware of her fate and is left pondering it. Additionally, Twilight is shown to be the only one with glinted pupils, which is a fairly common design innuendo which shows one's awareness or knowledge. Rarity is also shown being cross-eyed throughout this scene; which may suggest her lack of knowledge in a sense. There is much more I want to analyze about this bite-sized masterpiece of an animation. But this comment is getting too long so that's all from me.
@@Hjahaiainai im so happy you liked it, thank you for watching!
Super off topic, but I never realized this as a kid how symbolic their names were to their personalities/ physical traits and abilities.
Pinkypie: sweet personality (like pie)
Rarity: a “rare gem” as in the kind of person you don’t come across to often (in a good way)
Fluttershy: pretty self explanatory but she’s very shy
Rainbow-dash: also self explanatory, very fast flyer
Applejack: farmer+jacked with muscle
Twilight-sparkle: this is the only one I had trouble with but her name could be foreshadowing of her as Celestia and Luna’s heir since all their names associate with astronomy and the sky (Celestia=Celestial meaning “having to do with outer space or astronomy) (Luna is the Spanish word for moon) (Twilight= the period or the light from the sky between full night and sunrise or between sunset and full night, and Sparkle could refer to a sparkling star, even more specifically the North Star since it’s the brightest star in the sky and she’s super smart as well as it’s used to point the way, and leaders are also supposed to point the way)
Important characters like Starlight and Starswirl the bearded also have names relating to astronomy
This is gorgeous. Not only the style but also the way everyone leaves and then she's alone.
Love it!
tysm for watching!
This is all I'm going to be thinking about all day. Your art, videos and fics always make my month
im so glad you can enjoy them! thank u for the support ^^
I adore the idea that twily just ran away. Vamooshed from existance
sometimes running away is the least painful option u_u
I have no words. I just like this animation a lot. I might go back into my MLP era😅
@@V3nussXox tysm for watching, im glad u like it!
I Never comment on videos but i really cant Help but express how much I truly love this oh my gosh
The expressions, subtle animation, and color pallet are so amazing and well constructed here!
thank you for taking the time to comment! im glad u enjoyed ^^
I really would've like to see that as the final friendship lesson gone but not forgotten
Imagine if we could get an mlp cartoon with humans in a medieval world with this style, omg
that was amazing I legit watched it a few dozen times.
I love the contrast of the fluidity of the hair and the sharp frames of movement,
as well as the grey against the purple
perfection!!
tysm! i learned a lot about keyframes during this, and also had a lot of fun with the colours too ^^
And this is why you need to keep expanding your social circle, Queen Purplesmart. Left to its own devices, it inevitably contracts.
(Gorgeous, heartbreaking work, Evelili.)
tysm! so glad you liked it, im constantly in my feelings about this tragic horse woman lol
I’m in love with all the human designs- but Applejack- wow- I love Applejack.
🤝
im genuinely in love with how flowy twi's hair is in this
@@mistcellaneous it was a lot of fun to animate!
This is a beautiful mlp project you made! These characters models are perfect and the emotion you put into it was twilight in a happy mood with her friends turned into sad without her friends keep up the good work
tysm for watching!
@@evelili keep up with the great content
Can we talk about these designs for a moment? EASILY the best human designs for the mane six. They capture their personalities really well while also making them feel super unique from one another with great body and skin diversity. I am obsessed.
thank you so much!
I now desperately need an mlp human reboot in this style because this is AMAZING.
@@Lillian_RS thanks for watching! happy u like it :D
one of my favorite songs combined with my favorite character??? count me in!!
but actually, I can’t stop rewatching this. the animation is simplistic in the best way & the color palette is perfect
thanks so much for watching, im glad you liked it!
Holyy shit this is amazing, I love how you designed the humanized ponies and portrayed Twilight’s grief! Can’t stop watching it rn
tysm! they were a lot of fun to design :D
0:34 I just peeped this, but is the blood dripping caused from Twilight punching a hole in Celestia’s face in the glass window? If so, it’s mood and definitely correlates with Twilights resentment towards being the new ruler 😭
Celestia put all that pressure on her just to rule over Equestria BY HERSELF and not even warn her ahead of time. Like sure she prepared her but she literally just gave her the powers and said “lol rule my country!1” I honestly don’t blame Twilight for leaving in the end, lol. Although I’d like to believe Cadence was there with her for a short moment but who knows.
This was beautiful made tho bro and the humanized versions of the ponies is literally spot on 👏🏽❤️ (it’s also abt time someone explored how much of a burden twilight’s position rlly is, my god 💀)
hey!! tysm for the in depth comment ahhh, i really appreciate it! actually, i think you're the first person to notice what happens in that scene (at least who have commented), so im glad that it wasnt too obscure ^^
i think cadance would support twi, but i also can imagine the grief of losing shining eventually could have her turn out the same way... plus, with her being in the crystal empire, and twi ruling equestria, i imagine they wouldnt have a lot of time to see each other ;-;
and yea, i wouldnt ever want to be in twilights position; even tho it's obvs a kids show the finale had a ton of implications abt the future that i thought would b neat to explore with this :D thanks again for watching!
I'm sorry to remind you, but Cadence is the princess of the crystal heart. All of the princesses do not live long, they literally give themselves for the right to ascend the throne, their lives. They give their lives for various reasons, but I think Cadence will not live long either, even considering that she was saved once. I love the theme that the crystal heart consists of fragments of the souls of past princesses and over time it gets bigger, and then it decreases, because the fragments of the soul break completely. To support him, they always need a new ruler and a new villain. Literally, harmony, from dead bodies. The concept that all the crystals in the Kingdom consist of the bodies of ponies that once lived there is the best. Even the daughter of Cadence, with all her strength, will not live long, this is the life cycle of the Crystal Kingdom. I think Sparkle would have caught how at least four princesses of the Crystal Kingdom change. Oh no, I'm only making things worse with my concept!
It's so good!❤️🥺
The animation is beautiful! All the movements are smooth, and the appearance of the characters is made atypical, with its own twist.I like Twilight in costume, and with a sword, she looks so majestic.This animation made me revisit the animated series and remind me how good the show is🫶
ty! i worked rlly hard on the designs, so im happy to know you liked them ^^
Dude. I am not a MLP fan. Every few years I try to get into it but I can't. But what I am, is an MLP FAN, fan. And things like this are exactly why.
Amazing art, brilliantly done 👏
thank you for watching! im glad you can like it as a fan of the fans ^^
Такой фандом должен продвигаться, увеличиваться, улучшаться ❤
Анимация шикарная, задумка ещё более гениальная! Нужно больше такого контента🤩
OH MY GOD THIS IS SO HEAVENLY!!! THE ANIMATION IS SO SMOOTH, probably my most favorite part is the "help" where she puts her sword back. This is such an amazing concept and a lot of details were put on thought with this! Im looking forward to your future works
thanks so much for watching! hopefully ull like the next animation i have cooking too 🤞
@@evelili LETS GOOOO! can't wait for that! I'll make sure my notifs are on meheh 👊😼
The art, animation, movement and how you portray her is sooo perfect.. I love it so much
thank u for watching!
I remember when this only had 20k views, i’m so glad that this got the recognition it deserves! ❤
@@SenioritaAnne aaa tysm for sticking around!
I find it a teribble idea for celestia and luna to make twilight the only immortal one, even though she is the PRINCESS OF FRIENDSHIP and her friends are the ELEMENTS OF HARMONY
ive been rewatching this so many times i just cant get enough of this oh my gosh. i checked out your art on other platforms too and your art style looks so edible, i absolutely love your twilight design hoooo boy shes so gender
thank you so much for checking out my stuff! and yes i am a Big Fan of women in suits lol, i just think theyre neat :>
Loved your human designs for the ponies. Love how Twilight's hair floats up making her look very divine. The claps were a little jarring
The suit you made for her is really cool!! Also the story telling is amazing!
thank u!! im mainly a writer, so storytelling in art is rlly important to me, im glad you picked up on that :D
@@evelili her old crown changing into her new one really did it for me! also awesome! do you write about MLP? and her only slightly smiling when her friends are getting older and she isn't... fuck!! she only gets more stern and more distant, the more she loses. Does your Twilight resent Celestia for making her immortal? this is amazing... and as tempest said, "the Princess of Friendship, with no friends."
edit again: might be overthinking it, but I didn't understand the bloody sword at first, but now thinking of it with the two smashed mirrors beside her... did she kill Celestia and Luna? Or did she attempt suicide? Or murder suicide?
edit AGAIN: that's not Twilight in the middle mirror!!!! I THOUGHT IT WAS!! this changes a lot
last edit: also if you have a twitter or something i would follow you!! also if we could also talk about ponies somewhere, that would also be cool. my art isn't half as good as yours, but I make pony art too.
(if you're confused about all the notifications, I crammed all of my replies into one. I'm an avid MLP fan, so whenever I get the chance I will ramble, so sorry.)
@@bongobing0 heya! yes i do, u can find me on fimfic w the same username! tho, mostly ive done eqg content haha
as for the bloody hand, honestly my intention was she just cut herself smashing the stained glass, but im also ok leaving it open for people to interpret however they want!
u can find links to my other socials on my profile here (as well as the usernames at the end of the vid), i will say that i dont tend to engage much in dms, but my tumblr askbox is always open for questions ^^ im glad youve enjoyed the video!
@@evelili I really did!
OMG OMG OMG ¡This is a masterpiece! the costumes and character design are spectacular ❤ and how the sadness and pain in a heart with an enormous weight is so heartbreaking and well expressed in every movement and scene
¡Wonderful job! 👏👏👏
thank you so much! im glad u liked the designs, and the heartbreak :')
oh my god i absolutely love this animation this is insanely underrated
tysm for watching, im so glad u liked it!
Мне очень нравится стиль анимации. Во внешности персонажа как будто проскакивают основные его черты и так классно передается ощущение того, что твои друзья "уходят", а ты будешь продолжать жить дальше
This is why I love The Sunset of a Frozen Princess. The fic is probably dead since it hasn't been updated in 2 years but I'm holding out hope. The idea of a jaded Twilight clinging to an old friend is very interesting. This is a wonderful animation! I can see how this leads to Opaline taking power as well. Twilight has no friendship to give, so she ignores the problems popping up around her and buries herself in happier memories. Before she dies she sends a message to the next generation in hopes that they can fix what she ultimately let happen.
hey, i came back to finish a fic after 5 years, it’s not impossible ^^
i love that one too! Im on chapter 20 rn and i can't believe i have 1 more after it.. the author did say there would be quite a long gap considering their employed now. Just hope they come back soon!
This is kind of thematic in a way since Twilight is the princess of friendship, it sort of makes sense to me that she steps down after Rarity dies.
Lovely video
thank you for watching!

I saw this two days ago and I don't usually comment on things, but I just wanted to say that you have got me HOOKED on your work. First of all, it's been a while since I've seen anything MLP related, and you have grabbed me by the neck and dragged me back into this pit kicking and screaming.
Second, the animation is so SMOOOOOTH. I LOVE TWILIGHT'S HAIR. I LOVE THE MILITARY OUTFIT. I LOVE ALL THE OUTFITS. I LOVE THE GLITCHY EFFECTS. I LOVE THE SWORD. I LOVE SEEING TWILIGHT'S REFLECTION IN THE SWORD. I LOVE ALL HER LITTLE GLARES. I LOVE THE MINIMAL COLORS COLOR SCHEME THINGY. I LOVE THE DISEMBODIED HANDS CLAPPING. I LOVE THE LITTLE SLUMP OF TWILIGHT'S SHOULDERS AFTER EVERYONE IS GONE (Actually that was pretty sad you're paying for my therapy. But I still love it in a it hurts so good way.)
Third, THE ANGSTTTTTT UGHHHH. I've always wondered how Twilight would handle being immortal and outliving and I love how you've captured that here. I would love to see more of this AU!!!
Fourth, after watching your Villains animatic I ended up binge reading The Twilight Effect in two hours instead of studying for my programming exam that morning lol. But it was sooooooooo goooooood. Anyways, I'm done aggressively fangirling, but I'm definitely sticking around for your work.
P.S. Imagine my screaming at you and shaking you back and forth during the second paragraph BECAUSE THAT IS HOW I FEEL. 💜💜
ahhhh wow thank u so much for the detailed comment! please pretend i am answering this as i am shaken back and forth ^^
im glad that i could help drag u back to mlp! actually, the same thing happened to me a year ago suddenly due to other writers and artists, so it is fitting for me to carry on the cycle :P this particular animation was a spontaneous project fueled a little bit by personal angst, and im very happy to know that it can resonate with u in a way that conveys the same feeling ^^ (though, even reducing the framerate compared to villain, it was a lot of effort to make the animation smooth OTL). i will happily pay for the therapy, i think i should make an appointment too xd
and, wow!! reading my magnum opus in 2 hours, thats amazing,,,, im so happy you gave it a try, it’s the creation im most proud of so far. even if i cant surpass it again easily, i want to do my best to create more things to give the similar feeling of, “wow, i want to read this all in one go!”, so it makes me very happy to know you enjoyed the story. thank you so much for reading it!
thank you SO much for introducing me to this song, ive been listening to it since i saw it on tumblr
it's such a catchy tune!
This is so good I have to rewatch it over and over
@@Mckinichmcdonalds tysm for watching!
YWWWWW!!!!^^
This just showed how being immortal is the worst😢 0:44
Ahhhh this is so good, that sequence where the Mane 6 gradually disappear is so heartbreaking! also I am looking Respectfully at your Applejack design
she needs big arms to give big hugs :>
i havent watched mlp since i was younger and i only know the context of this animatic throught the comments but oh my god this is making me feel so many emotions 😭 beautiful animation and a perfect song to match
im glad you could still like it even without too much context! tysm for watching ^^
0:38 I haven't seen anyone mention it but i love the attention to detail as you can see the elements she used to bear before she banished her sister.
OMGGGGGGG I LOVE HOW MILITARY THEY ALL LOOK!!! GREAT AU AND ANIMATION AND STYLE AND EVEYRTHIGNNGNGG
tysm!! im so glad u like it :D
A pain goes through my heart to think about it and you potrayed the idea very well I also love how it highlights some important things about them or just to make you know its them and I also love the human versions 🩵
thank you so much!
@@evelili ofcourse 🩵💙🩵
I like how you didn't make it modern and made it more old-timey and the animation is so good
thank u so much! yeah, i wanted to go for a more traditional fantasy setting with knights and princesses and such :D
Oh my gosh your human designs are so good
tysm! they were a lot of fun to make :D
