I will no longer be responding to questions that are answered here in the description.



This includes: who [x] pony is, why [x] pony wasn't included, who Megan is, why "Lauren Faust" is blond, and so on. All of these things are answered if you just scroll down slightly; therefore, I will no longer reply to any of these sorts of questions.

My entry for the December Draw-Off! ...This is one of those things that looked totally epic in my head, and not so much on the screen. :icondashfacehoofplz: Had to rush a bit because I've got so much to do the rest of this month, but it went pretty fast regardless. I just wish I'd done it better.

Anyway, here's a rough chronology of MLP in the style of one of the stained-glass windows from FiM. I tried to keep the number of ponies in it to a minimum, because otherwise it would have been absolutely insane with them, even just sticking to the ones that were in the cartoons. For instance, G1 is based mostly off of Rescue at Midnight Castle (with Sundance thrown in because you can't have Megan without Sundance) and G3 is just the core seven plus Minty to round it out.

Some ponies were in multiple gens, of course; you could consider them ancestors, or just take it in stride. This is pretty much just a meta-history and isn't supposed to fit in with any of the canons. c:

Special thanks to Texel and his inexplicably in-depth knowledge of classical stained-glass windows. (He keeps reminding me that the downwards arch from G1 into Tales is not physically possible, so if anyone else is bothered by that, let me just say that I am aware and I'm calling artistic license on it. :iconrdglassesplz:)

oh my goodness every time I look at this I just see more and more mistakes :iconcelestiassakeplz:

Outstanding! I've always liked G1-G3, but never took to G3.5, I love the style and the characters you added! Great job!

I utterly adore this! I kind of want to get it as a print...
I'm so excited, also, that I recognized the mane of Toola-Roola (though I have had nothing whatsoever to do with G3/3.5; I just recognized it from commericals). Well, after realizing that I recognized a pony that wasn't G4, I looked back at the others and started recognizing them! I was very proud of myself.
