When She Loved Me

Filly Luna in the main image? I'm pretty sure you can see where this one is going.  Check out the video after the break!

Oh my gosh, Jesse's song...

Must not cry must not cry must not cry...

*sob*

Spell Nexus said...

Unrelated question. UK brony here, just wondering how long it'll took for peeps to upload s2? Cos I can't be arsed waiting till July next year, and I don't want to have to pay for extra channels for it too :/

Manly tears were shed.

The ending verse gave me shivers, it's so beautiful.

Marcoooootje1 said...

@Spell Nexus

Don´t worry, I expect it to be up in a week max.

TGPFluttershy said...

Heart attack...imminent

I love this song. Beautiful drawings, beautiful music, and it just blends together so well! I like this new style of PMV!

Now if you'll excuse me, I have to go buy a giant pack of tissues.

gotta hold back those manly tears

TGPFluttershy said...

@Spell Nexus

I'd give less than 24 hours for each episode, at least on YouTube.

Freekles1245 said...

Oh my god. I almost flooded my room with tears.
It´s Jesse´s song from Toy Story 2. Gezus! It´s stuck in my head

Spell Nexus said...

Not that I didn't love the vid, absolutely heartrending

Danilo & co. said...

where are princess celestia's wings on one scene?

Kai said...

@Spell Nexus
The first youtube uploads appear ~2 hours after airing, the good ones the next day.

Nimbus Buster said...

*manly tears*... *many manly tears*...

Adrian Brony said...

Y U do this egophiliac?

Jake Heritagu said...

Oh man, this video almost wrecked my -whole- day. Thankfully I was able to pick myself up after it. It's beautiful though.

jubilteese said...

This song makes me teary eyed whenever I hear it.

Tosxychor said...

Ego, Y U SO GOOD at everything you do? :D

Cyl said...

MY HEART! It's too much for my poor heart! HURGK!

Risky said...

Oh my god that was so perfect... Needless to say that was adorable, but someone needs to answer me a question.

Why does every picture I see of filly/younger Princess Celestia show her with just pink hair, instead of her stripes? Is it G1-G3 continuity?

Unknown said...

@Spell Nexus
Really? No one has made a 10 seconds flat reference yet? I am disappoint.

benjamin said...

and many manly tears were shed that day.

Muffinsforever said...

I listened to 2 seconds and hit backspace immediately.

That song made me cry, and still makes me cry, and I don't want to cry right now.

But I will say, that's quite a good choice.

cloudrifter said...

Seth you fiend *sob* that song *sob* why that song so much sadness so much....................................That is the saddest song ever to come out of a movie it makes all grown men cry

GreenGuy said...

"When she loved me"
That name sounds famil-
...oh.
Oh fuck.

Minalkra said...

that was nice. i liked how the ending wasn't a sad one. it made me catch my breath. very nice.

Chetoos said...

I cry at the song during Toy Story 2 every time, because it explains why Jessie is being the way she is, but here, I'm sorry, it just didn't hold the same effect. It is well done, the art is masterful, and I felt something, but it just wasn't the same effect. Luna was overcome with jealousy, not abandonment. Make it from Celestia's point of view, and it'll hit me.

EonMaster said...

@Risky In the mythology opening of MLP:FIM Episode 1, it shows Celestia with a pink mane. It isn't until we see her in episode 2 that she's shown to have a striped mane.

So, it was sometime after Luna's banishment that Celestia gained her striped mane we see in the show.

Leeky said...

That's it *wipes tear* I want an episode focusing on Celestia and Luna in season 2.

Cador_2004 said...

@Risky
I'm pretty sure it shows her hair pink because of the still images shown of her and Luna in the first episode.

M1Abrams said...

I sent you an E-mail about this HOURS ago Seth...it's about time! I kid I kid...But I'm sure you got lots of E-mails about this one, its so...so...damn it I'm starting to cry again!

zSONICoz said...

Must...Not...*cries* It's too Beautiful

Noodles89 said...

Manly tears have been shed.

Twistinthunder said...

why you make me cry? why!?

Marrock said...

I'm glad I can watch stuff like this at home alone so no one can see me bawling like a foal over cartoon ponies.

Dammit, I used to be so good at hiding emotions, what the hell happened?

Gig said...

Beautiful. Original content, inspiration, skills, emotions, ponies and Luna.
What the hell could I ask for!?

Trollestia said...

Im not sure im going to be able to watch this, this song depresses me oh so much. I don't need to assosiate it with Luna.

MuffinShy said...

*sob* *sniff* beautiful.

Little Casina said...

*sniffs* Darn these ponies making me cry so so many tears. That was beautiful. See, this is why Ponies are amazing, they can do anything and make us cry...

LightningImpulse said...

Ow. 1:38-2:12 hurt.

This may not be canon according to the show, but it's a close parallel that wouldn't be out of place in the world.

Also, because we don't know how long the sisters ruled before Luna became NMM, it is possible that something like this could have happened, could have been one of the factors that lead up to the NMM incident and that, I think, is what makes this movie so effective.

Also this song... This song and Goodbye May Seem Forever from The Fox and the Hound....

Daggers in the heart.

Thanks Ego.

HayfeverTX said...

Absolutely stunning. Thank you.

Jelfes said...

EPIC DAWWW TIME!!!

Unknown said...

D-d-d-diabeetus

oh god have mercy (ノಥ~ಥ)ノ

Sketchy Sounds said...

Well played. Well played indeed.

Darkforce2K said...

dawww Luna
Confound these Ponys! They drive me to feel emotions! *sniff*

Wierdplatformer said...

My heart almost broke...

dwarfyz said...

I flooded my monitor with Chuck Norris tears.
That's right, i could have an cure for cancer if it wasn't because i couldn't get 'em in something.

Semolika said...

Oh, my. Jesse's Song. I just... I can't...

B'AAAAAAWWWW!!!!

Manly tears were shed.

Kyle Horn said...

...I swear, everything I look at on youtube before, ends up here. it's strange. I actually did shed a tear this time.. it was sad..

Shade6754 said...

...No words can describe the misery that fills my soul.

Solar Flair said...

Confound these ponies, they drive me to feel...

Cátsy said...

damnit I almost made it through without letting a tear get through ;-; that last bit just after the return of a banished Luna and a Beaming Celestia smiling down at her sister Luna's return just broke me... downloaded that PMV it's so beautiful

Lemonite said...

That was beautiful. I'm unafraid to say that I literally got teary-eyed watching this. PONIES WHY DO I CARE FOR YOU SO?!

WizardWannabe said...

@Spell Nexus
Also a UK brony, if it doesn't get streamed online (which would translate to sometime around 2pm here I think) then it would definitely be uploaded to youtube within 24 hours, knowing this fandom.
And I thank all in advance for such a service. So many of my favourite shows are American, and without people uploading them, I'd have to wait months to watch shows.

Regarding this pmv, it is awesome. The custom artwork makes it feel more heartfelt than using clips from the show (lol ain't enough luna for that).

1aed7cf4-d98e-11e0-bed8-000bcdcb2996 said...

I've long suspected it, but this has finally convinced me without a shadow of a doubt:
Ego is an evil mastermind bent on killing us all.

Time and again we've survived the waves of diabetes and heart attacks caused by her comics, so she has finally brought out the big guns.

But you'll never take me down, Ego. Never!

(and by all that, I mean this was freaking beautiful)

CTVulpin said...

I can't watch this. It's just too heart-renchingly, perfect tear-producing...

DiZaster321 said...

@Spell Nexus I'm planning on uploading each episode the day they air.

Andrew_64 said...

Toy Story 2's saddest song, plus Luna and Celestia. I'm about to cry manly tears over here

Block Comment said...

That song, guys, DAT SONG. I didn't used to wear my emotions on my sleeve like this... when did I start tearing up with decade-old nostalgic catharsis at youtube videos? I think the ponies put me into a state of emotional defenselessness, because most of my thoughts were actually about the movie rather than Celestia/Luna, but the themes of growing apart and reconciling were just what were needed. Well played, Ego.

Vinny said...

I literally built my life around not simply hiding my emotions, but doing away with them completely. Now I am sitting in my room, bawling my eyes out over cartoon ponies.

Aquaman52 said...

@1aed7cf4-d98e-11e0-bed8-000bcdcb2996

I was just realizing how easily Ego could just have us all completely at her mercy whenever she wanted.

Kind of scary, when you think about it.

Duo Dash said...

Why must Luna be so adorable?!

Pyrobug said...

I do this without shame:
D'aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaahahahahahahaaaawwww *sob*

Techicorn said...

Goddesses... just makes you think and relate to that one moment in the second episode when they meet up again. So much D'AWW and B'AWW here...

MPerce said...

I thought it was gonna end in a similar way to what happened to Jessie in Toy Story 2: Celestia gets sick of Luna bothering her and sends her TO THE MOOOOOOON.
But that would've made it funny. I preferred it this way.

nomonoke said...

Combinging Luna, Celestia. This Song.
Done by Ego.
....

-CRIES FOREVER-

Atomsk Pony said...

Not a dry eye in the house. I B'AAAWWWW'd.

James Corck said...

Well, that's it. I am 100% tears now ;_;

Dew Drop said...

@Freekles1245

I felt sader for Luna in this than i did jesse in toy story XD

epic video, i was worried it'd be one of those super sad videos. yay happy ending!

Whistle-tall said...

I feel... there is no word to describe these profound emotions of depression and rejuvenation. I would cry, were not for my happiness, but tears of joy are blocked as well. My mind is utterly numbed by the two opposing, but equally intersecting contrasts.

Mahna said...

*pulls head out from under pillow* is it over yet? its too sad.

Daisymare said...

I cried tears of joy. This wasn't a sad story it was a story of finding each other after parting ways. Many brothers and sisters go through this moment in their teens.

Octavia said...

Widdle woona! She's so very adorable. <3

Awww, that was both rather sad and rather endearing. So sweet and excellent choice of song too. Got a bit teary-eyed watching and listening to that. :')

Truthseeker said...

Damn it! I've seen people murdered and this, somehow makes me cry!
*sob*
It's beautiful!

Cyberlight said...

That was Just beautiful, i hardly every cry at videos, my manly tears have been shed, so much emotion in just a few pictures... oh god im starting to cry again.
EGO, Y U MAKE ME CRY (ノಥ~ಥ)ノ

i love this... just... love it

dw1482 said...

Stop making me feel my feelings! It's too much!

thecure said...

I managed to get through this and only shed one manly tear... I am proud of myself.

Hivemind said...

D'awwww

I mean...uhh...MONSTER TRUCKS GUNS BEER WIMMIN GRRRRR.

Ragona said...

My god the song fits SO well with the story. Its extremely hard for me to cry, but that was the closest I've come in years. If I watched it a second time I think I'd break down in to manly tears.

Doesn't help that I just love Luna oh so much.

val_heart said...

I feel that this makes the Nightmare Moon incident a lot more intimate and hits a lot closer to home than Luna feeling feeling her night's unappreciated. It makes her seem a lot less uh ... shallow.

Stahi said...

*fires up video*

I know I'm gonna cry, let's just see how long it takes. Ok, there's baby Luna, a-- Oh God she just looked up. *bam, cry*

parodox99 the brony said...

Woah...shivers just went down my spine

Joe England said...

D'aww.
Is it just me, though, or could this song be made to work just as well from Celestia's perspective as Luna's? Think about it. I think it'd pretty fitting, maybe as a companion piece.

airinlayall said...

@Chetoos
I must agree. Luna decided to reject Celestia's love and start a war. I love Luna, now that she's realized her errors, but previous to that she was in the wrong.

Mooke said...

DAMNIT, I'm not crying, I just poked myself in the eye before I watched it...

Ok, I lied, I tear'd up a little...

And I thought WALL-E and the ending of the Dark Materials Trilogy were the only things that could bring me to feel these... human emotions.

Fabrazio said...

i cried.

very good work

Aellos said...

Omg...must...make fanart. DX SO sadd. I love both Toy Story and this. DX

David said...

My body. It was not ready for this much d'awww

Emily Norton said...

@Chetoos

I agree actually. I love this song and this scene from Toy Story 2 but there was something about this video that just didn't click for me. It wasn't until I read your comment that I was able to say "that is it exactly."

JR said...

*Watches first 20 seconds of video, decides to just start crying right away so as to avoid the rush.*

Milienius said...

*Teary smile*

Beautiful :)

SunshineBlogger said...

T_T waaaaaaahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

Jocuro said...

*clap clap clap* Bravo! *sniffle* Bravo! A truly emotional video.

Shannon said...

...did not need to see this today. Not every story like this has a happy ending. ;_;

But at least Celestia and Luna's does. : )

Captain Honesty said...

Both manly and pony tears were shed.

SomeGuy said...

I still can't listen to this song without getting misty eyed, and I find it very appropriate for Luna and Celestia. While being minimalist Egophiliac is always able to express so much with these two. Good Lady, you are the best.

Equine-nox said...

I D'awwwd at the artistic style.

Blue Jay Yay said...

As soon as I recognized the song, manly tears began flowing. Very fitting for Luna, certainly.

RBDash said...

Confound these ponies, they make me feel this sadness! I love this video

Fyrestorm58355 said...

Confound it Seth - I can't see the screen through my tears. Such a perfect fit and wonderful images!

SprintF said...

This is why I always try to be kind to Luna in my stories.

Twilight_Crow said...

That was sooooooooooo cute, and sad, and Jessie's song fits darn well, and yay happy ending, and... D'aaaawwwww

:'D

LcplBronyUSMC said...

Bravo...such universally evocative emotions. My hat is off to you. Keep up all the good work you do.

infohippie said...

No. Just... no. Couldn't take it. Beautiful, of course, but no, I'm not putting myself through that.

I previewed, but a spelling error still sneaked in, so here it is again.

Teared up watching it.
Teared up again just reading the comments a day or so later without having re-watched the video.
Not manly tears, not girly tears... human tears (or does that make them manly? I don't know the rules for such things).

I do think that it would fit better with the roles reversed, but I can also see why it is more obvious to do it this way, since Celestia is the "big" sister, and thus more like Jesse in that regard.

Burninator said...

my heart couldn't decide whether it wanted to break or melt.

EssMan009 said...

Why are kid's movies so friggen sad? Casing point Toy Story 1, 2 and 3



3'= *manly sob*

DOLLSxEYES said...

I have not seen toy story 2 since it came out a little more than ten years ago. when I heard this song, it felt familiar, I started sobbing, and I didn't know why. until I heard jesse's voice, and everything rushed back to me. then the crying started. incorporating luna only made it worse. not fair, man... not fair... T~T

James said...

First "Memories: A Rainbow Dash Tail," with the Up! Opening, and now this?

Whelp, it's official. Pixar + Ponies = SADNESS EVERYWHERE!

r0ninKai said...

And on that day, many manly tears were shed.

The GREAT and POWERFUL Trevor said...

... A perfect match of pictures to a song that was just...
