Equestria is suffering a dire problem. You are part of that solution, even if you aren't entirely aware of it. No, we don't need a dragon slayer or something like that. We're sure you can handle this just as you are.

i vote # 1
the second one is too depressing
END OF MAN!!!!!
1 because there is really no point in seeing the end of man as that is not the current problem
i.kinja-img.com/gawker-media/image/upload/s--sXmOrBZL--/c_fit,fl_progressive,q_80,w_636/1238895886504840879.jpg
Is that a complaint about our choices? We like our plot and we'll only take the plot after you advance the plot!
End of man!
We can't focus on helping the ponies if we're constantly distracted by wondering what happened to our race... Plus it could give us answers.
7762654 It is not a complaint by me, promise. I'm enjoying writing this tale.
End of man. Let's see how us humans screwed ourselves up.
1
Well nuts. I knew it was going to go that way, but still...
Actually, I should be encouraged. We didn't actually see them remove the spell from Trixie, and from how it was presented, they might not be able to. It's notable that they drew a parallel (albeit not entirely clearly) with what "normally" happens after a mare's been impregnated. That is, Trixie's going through the usual process of bonding that Celestia was so initially worried about after you put a foal in a mare. Except she's doing it before having been knocked up.
That raises some questions as to how much they can, or should, tamper with the process. After all, if this is a natural phenomenon, then...well, screwing with natural occurrences is kind of what got the ponies into this mess in the first place. I don't think that Moon Dancer and Careful Study will actually hurt her, but we're no longer talking about removing an unwanted spell anymore. We're talking about a natural change - and one that would have happened anyway, since you already had permission to breed Trixie - which has simply been kickstarted early. That means that Trixie isn't (quite as) mind-controlled (as we thought), and so screwing with her head now raises all sorts of moral questions, rather than being a return to normalcy.
It's rather unfortunate that her submissiveness comes from her rather than being a product of you, but even then I still question the extent to which that's true. After all, they're still just theorizing, and you were concentrating on not wanting her blowjob to end. So maybe...maybe there's still a whole master-slave thing going on there? We'll see, one way or another.
Also, I liked Luna's complaint about how little breeding we've been doing. She's right to note that. We really need to get down to business at some point. It's not like we can't squeeze in at least one per day around everything else we're doing.
As for what to do now...let's see the end of man. We really can't miss out on a chance to see what finally punched our ticket.
Focus at the problem at hand. If it messes up things so badly that the second option cant be checked at a later date, then things are a lot worse than anyone thought.

I feel this is where all the answers are. Plus I feel that both stories will get out sooner or later.
so i dont know if this was brought up but i might destroy some immersion here. time travel and stealing males from the past from earth to breed with mares of the future of earth, when they could just easily go to past celestia with future celestia and say "cut that shit out"
1 all the way. It's what caused the problem in the first place.
I initially came in here to find out what happened to humanity, and we still have direct access to the one who created cutiemarks...
But what if Celestia missed something? Or someone somehow interfered behind her back?
Hmmmmm...
Hey, Starlight, what are the possibilities of doing this twice - one now and one sometime later when you've recovered? I really want to see how humanity turned themselves into ponies (#2), but the other option may prove critical to our efforts. Though we do still need to learn what exactly Celestia changed and how, so other answers can wait until we have a better background.
"Hey, I woke up today fully expecting to sow Trixie so full of oats that we both wouldn't be able to move until lunch time. But instead, for some reason, we ended up playing X-rated Jackson Pollock on a pony canvas instead, and I'm still not sure why."
1 we need answers about the curent problem not an personal question.
I want to see both, but the start with, I want to know how ponies came around, so that means the end of man.
Vote: 2) Witness the end of man.
2. It's like a train wreck, you can't look away.
Although I suppose the fact that we didn't die so much as evolve is encouraging.
I'm guessing Trump had something to do with it.
(Sneaks out the back.)
I say fall of man because it would she'd some info on where ponies came from originally and if human kind did have a hand in making the ponies it would reason they'd have non Celestia tampered with info on pony creation process. That is if they did have anything with making ponies to begin with anyway.
7762770 Problem solved. But then you'd have no reason to ever go back. Paradox created. You've made a splinter future without the problem. Your original world is still fucked.
2
7762822 not really create a fake cutie mark problem with set bind spell, warp celestias mind slightly to not remember this, and add fake cutie marks. By doing it to the past the future can solve it easily once remembered.
Just a matter of stage events you can fix now instead of then.
7762873 If your going back makes it easy to solve, why would you ever go back in the first place, since it was easily solved and you solved it without having to go back?
The most present issue is getting clues on how to fix this mess. We know who got us into this mess but we have no idea why it happened. How did Celestia's spell to harmonize pony end up making ponies sterile. If we really did evolve from ponies, #2 is the best option. Maybe seeing what ponies were like in the very beginning, will maybe clue us in on what happened. We don't have proof that Cutie marks are the cause of the problem, but we do know that somehow humans became ponies.
My vote is #2.
as much as id like to see 2, 1 is where the answer to the current problem is. so lets go with that.
I vote for number 1.
Ok, that's a tricky binary option...
On the one side, it's highly relevant to locate and understand the beginnings of cutie marks and the subsequent underlying issues the rigid connection to harmony has caused. It could very clearly reveal the solutions to the infertility problem, if clear information is possible at all. Maybe even correct the connection to harmony so it works like it was intended and stops being what is essentially harmful over time.
On the other side, understanding what happened to humanity and how we became ponies somewhere in the past could have a staggering impact also bursting with useful data. Amongst which includes both a better understanding of how to make our body's script more easily compatible with a pony's, as well as more readily locate and probably retrieve viable breeders to help. Finding out what happened to effectively bring an end to Humanity is highly intriguing, but it being something in the past, it is not pressing beyond curiosity.
For my vote, it's a firm 1 here.
bit sexy those - bit sexy, those
Starlight cocked brow - Starlight cocked her brow
regale with some - regale them with some
gave her a pet - gave her a pat (Although it's funny to imagine us handing her a kitten or a puppy. )
called for me. - called for me?
to 'tune' in on - to 'tune-in' on

Quite the difficult decision today. I can't quite imagine the benefit of either nugget of information as far as it would apply to the current situation. Perhaps just a sliver more value to learning about the origin of cutie marks than the fall of humanity.
Still, we wonder what could change people into ponies. Maybe some sort of genetic disease or infection? It would have had to be pretty flexible...
I'ma vote 2. Everyone assumes this has nothing to do with the current problem, but this IS the point at which the genetics started going all whack-a-mole. It's entirely possible that the problem has nothing to do with anything Celestia did. If pony DNA is a mutation of human DNA, then the code could have been degrading slowly from the very beginning. If nothing else, this is where your going to find the original pony DNA.
7762999 An infection??? I personally couldn't think of a single time-travel related infection that could account for humans turning into ponies on a mass scale. I state confidently that NO SUCH EVENT has possibly happened in this or nearby parallel worlds.
I vote for 1.
You forgot a space here.
7763090 https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/methinks
7762999 Typos tossed into the time stream casually where they will cause no problems at all!
Flexible infections are the worst and require flexible survival techniques.
7762770
Please pardon the long, rambling response. This is a favorite topic of mine.
Except that in order for time travel to be possible then history must be set and immutable. So either a traveler cannot affect past events or can do so only in ways that allow events to follow their predestined course.
There are more wibbly-wobbly hypotheses of time travel. For example, the idea that history isn't completely set but certain key events are inevitable. It all comes down to the logical inference that, in order for a future event to directly influence the past then some or all of causality must be static. In fewer words - cause and effect is deterministic.
So going back and warning Princess Celestia will either be impossible or of no use. We already know that she cast the spell. What we could learn is a little more of how she did it and why it went off the rails.
By the other edge of that sword, we cannot know that our efforts will fix the problem, or that there is any solution at all, unless we were to somehow get word from our future.
From here it's turtles all the way down.
1. There's not a high chance that the end of man caused infertility, or lead to it, and even less so that the knowledge will help solve the problem.
Keep going! ;)
1.
If they have that thaumic sheet thing, they can literally watch the impact of Celestia's magic. Problem or not... That is source/core information.
If Starlight's right, they can look at how cutie mark magic has changed over time...naturalizing... And try to bleed it back to an earlier/less sterilizing, version.
If she's wrong, that's one more brilliant and determined mind working on the real problem rather than chasing ghosts and distracting others.
Either way, coming back gives you time to recover and should show Starlight your conviction...which should lead to sexytimes.
EVERYPONY wins!
2, it doesn't end, it's just the beginning.
1. Who cares about stupid humans?
1 second is sad
ok I vote #1.
but here is the thing is not # 1 and #2 the same thing?? yes there may be a bit of a time laps but still the same thing.
7763087 Back to your warehouse dungeon I say!....BACK BACK! You speak with multiple forked tongues.
7762770 Not possible, if you go back and fix the problem in the past when time turns around again to when you decide to go back and fix it, problem is no longer there so you no longer go back to do the fix. If you don't then go back, problem continues to occur. Time Paradox. All they can do is observe and use the information in their now.
1 Cutie marks are brought about by magic entering the world, magic humans may be affected by badly and need to evolve or adapt too to survive. Bringing about the end of man and beginning of ponies.
Let us look upon the creation of Cutie Marks. They are supposedly part of the reason of the problem, so we should examine them to see if they are truly at fault or not. (#1.)
1. Ponies were fine before cutie marks, so watching how man became pony isn't exactly relevant right now.
And its not like we'd personally gain anything other than melancholy otherwise.
Like several others, I'm going to say 1 because the ponies were (at least seemingly) fine until the cutie marks came about.
7763427 It's not a dungeon, it's an evil lair. Like all good super-villains, my secret evil lair is in a warehouse on the shady side of town. But I'm actually saying at my apartment tonight. So there.
7762822
and how can you guarantee that any of the humans they are taking back are the catalyst that caused this mass pony evolution in the first place? or that one particular human had a path that was required but when it got interrupted it helped cause the events we see today?
#2 then #1. Try to do your story in a theme like that futurerama episode why fry, bender, and the professor go through time.
1. Even though it is somewhat it duty as "last human on earth" to discover how we went kaput, right now we have a species of diminutive cute sophont equines to save
Let's solve that I've first. Curiosity about the past can always be solved by putting book horse on the case
2 The end of Man, to understand the current Crisis we need to understand our own end. It may verywell be part of the cause for the current situation. My suspect for the end of humans is Discord. He was the last ruler before ponies came to power it stands to reason he might have been the downfall of humanity.
7763670 SNERK
1. This will either prove or disprove Star's theory, leaving her and Luna with less gray-space in where the actual issue lies and causing them to be that much more likely to work together.
It also doesn't leave me in a shit mood, as I assume seeing the end of my species, however it came about, would do to me.
