That’s not really how Autism works, at least, not usually.

I’m pretty sure I posted this as Iamawhale.
 
Anyway. I’ve always liked these kind of theories.

@ALIS  
I’m talking about EVERY theory of this kind, not just about My Little Pony.

@Itsthinking  
It was bad even then.  
Seriously, you’ve got this average 80’s sitcon, all about happiness and family and shit, and BOOM, you end with utter fucking soul-crushing misery.

It isn’t a fan theory it is a parody of the final episode of St. Elsewhere.

@441TheSecond  
It was innovative when St. Elsewhere did it. But that was twenty years ago.

@Psychopomf
 
ST. ELSEWHERE.

I still have no idea why St. Elsewhere ended like that.

Yeah, I know it’s a parody. Still painfully sad, though.

Ok, can I be honest here?  
I HATE fan theories like that.  
Not only it’s a lame twist that contradicts every message of the actual show, but it’s so damn easy to make, You can literally say that ANY work of fiction is just the hallucinations of the main character as he’s dying/dead/sick.

Didn’t we see this already?

Ooh, this would be like the ending of Doraemon all over again.

Never speak while typing.

Oh hey its the Foster’s Home For Imaginary Thing

@emaban : FTFY

All “it was all the dream” stories are cheap, grimdark ones doubly so.  
(but great art)

Actually I uploaded this one before that one. But it appears the newer one has higher res.

I’m sure she was looking at the rainbow the whole time. Notice how the clouds in the last two panels look the same, like if the “camera” was moving, instead of the clouds.

She sat there in that grey field Her whole life. Waiting for that flash of color. Then right at the end, if they had only let her sit a little while longer, she missed it, and will never see it again.

MLP is not St. Elsewhere.

OH GOD  
I admit, an episode similar, but not as depressing, to this would be neat. Like what the characters see. Twilight sees the world as mostly exaggeratedly dumb, Rarity sees things as way too filthy, etc.
