dear god... this was awesome.

This was an excellent work of florid prose. Honestly I'm not sure I fully understood what happened, but I suppose it's basically Luna getting rid of NM. In any case the writing style was excellent. I'm writing a similar story right now, and I'm glad I fell on this one to inspire me. For this, sir, you've earned a spike :moustache:

Time paradox - Luna killed herself in the past and still alive? Impossible, imo.

Why though? There is in fact a version of Luna that no longer existences ready to take her place.
The very fact that Luna changed the entire universe should have erased that version of her from time with it and yet she still moved freely back.

Why then couldn't that Luna, with no place in existence not take the place of the dead Luna and allow the universe to continue.

Thank you for the compliment. This was mostly experimental for me -in the 'florid prose' regard- and I'm really excited to know it came off 'excellently' :raritywink:
Also, that this story was an inspiration... lets just say my felicity is, in any practical sense, ineffable :heart:


There's about eleventy billion different "theories" on time travel, and how altering the events of the past might affect the future. Literally, there's one for every conceivable way time travel could be depicted not just in stories, but in anything else you care to imagine.

The one that makes most sense here is the one used by Back to the Future. Events altered in the past, with/by knowledge/people (ponies!) from the future, create a new tangent that splits off from the original timeline. Events from before the original incursion remain the same in both the original "universe" and the new spin-off but, henceforth from the changed past events, have now become two distinct timelines.

Job done.


Oh, great story by the way. Like'd and Fav'd. :)

i. dont. get it....

I bet Celestia sends Luna to the moon due to murdering herself and using dangerous magics.. :trollestia:

..and yea. I like it. It was a bit harsh at some points, e.g. "[...], taking with her the universe." should be "taking the universe with her." But overall I like it. :pinkiehappy:
