Fan Comic: Isn't this exciting? Are you excited? 'Cause I'm excited. I've never been so excited--

So this is apparently what happens when I'm bored at work and up to my ears in the pink paper the printing department uses to separate copies of multi-page documents.









Oh god, I have thought about this way too hard. 

The way I figure it, Rorschach was transported not to another (MLP) planet but to our own planet (Planet of the Apes style) 1,000 years in the future.  Veidt's plans only delayed all-out nuclear war.  What humans survived the war itself were wiped out in the droughts brought on by the permanently atom-bomb disrupted weather patterns (perhaps the force of so many blasts also slowed the Earth's rotation, altering the day/night cycle).  In this new, harsh environment, ponies with the ability to control the weather would have had an evolutionary advantage.  Perhaps Princess Celestia was the first with magical capabilities strong enough to right the Earth's rotation speed, thus "raising" the sun.  Certainly the pegasus ponies would have been able to clear the nuclear cloud cover and bring unpoisened rain to a blighted landscape, making it possible for earth ponies to cultivate the return of the plant life needed to sustain larger pony populations. 

Hell, maybe the ponies as a whole are part of Adrian Veidt's fall-back plan--their unconventional coloring and proportions is certainly reminiscent of his past experiments in genetic manipulation (i.e., Bubastis).  But whatever their origin, they survived and flourished in the face of atomic disaster, thus the cultural importance placed of the annual (Nuclear) Winter Wrap-Up.

ETA:  Now with icons!

Oh god. This...

Eye twitch and b&w hat in the last panel... Too amazing for words.

The explanation at the end is icing on this most delicious cake. It explains Manehattan and Fillydelphia; remnants of our modern cities, obvs.

Yes and the prevalence of everyday items that would seem to be better suited to human rather than pony ergonomics--they draw influence from artifacts from our own fallen civilization.

Actually the more I think about it the more terrifying it becomes D:

Do you have links? I think I remember it but I've long since lost it (or else I am confusing it with with some House/MLP crossovers I've read *shifty eyes*).

I've never before has such a perfect time to use this icon. XD


This made me giggle so very much. I love Rorschach's fixed bug-eyed look of horror. This is pure joy, you should be bored at work more often. ;)

Rorschach's brain looks completely frozen.

What will he do in a world without child-murders to torture?

Gorge himself on confectioneries until he's sugar-drunk and starts arguing with Rarity over sewing technique and tasteful application of jewels? ;)
