I can totally believe than natural death doesn't exist in MLP world and instead of that, the Reaper Mare pays you a visit when your time in this world is up and takes you (in your flesh) to the sky beyond Sun and Moon to transform you into a new star. And because she takes you up in the flesh, ponies do not have funerals and cemeteries since they have no need in them. And that Reaper Mare is the reason why almost nopony in the show, not even villains, ever tries to just kill their enemies - perhaps she doesn't like it when the life is cut short before the time scheduled for it in her book, and angering her is a bad idea since she rivals in power Celestia, Luna, and Discord combined.This is the sort of stuff that never could be featured in the show itself because of the age rating, BUT still feels oddly fitting and right for its established setting and vibes.
>>43654608Hmm, gollynigger I somewhat like this idea but I'm not settled on it yet.
>>43654608You’d need to have a mass dozens of times that of Jupiter to become a star. But I suppose that in a mythological sense, heroes have become constellations before, so if somepony had that level of control, perhaps already existing stars could be organized to fit such patterns.
>>43654608So astronomy in Equestria is literally necromancy? You look at a star, and it's you granma and you two talk?
>>43654637It's a magical world anon, do you suppose 4 giant balls of gas travelled millions of lightyears through space to reach the moon and aid in Nightmare Moon's escape? It's best to leave your real world assumptions at the door. Based on how easily Celestia tends to get defeated, there's no way she's powerful enough to move a real star like the sun, as quickly as we see it move, across such huge distances with insane changes in momentum.
>>43654608>ponies do not have funeralsThere's a funeral in the show. The CMC crash it during their Perfect Stallion song.
>>43654608Nice theory. Too bad it's bonk since those dungeons and crypts need their skeletons to be proper and scary so ponies can't be just yanked away like that.

>>43657401He does, but it makes no difference because he's literally not of sound mind. All his interpretations of the show go through a nut filter.
>>43657426>go through a nut filter.Sounds gay.
