History WMG / MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicSettingSharedUniverses

[[WMG: [[WesternAnimation/StrawberryShortcake]] characters live in Equestria.]]
I got this idea after I saw on {{Website/Deviantart}} [[https://www.deviantart.com/mapleb/gallery/67883056/the-berryverse Berryverse]] which has 2009 series characters and authors OCs living in G4 universe (pony versions apparently in Ponyville, while human versions attend Berryland Academy in Canterlot City, instead of Canterlot High like other human versions of ponies living in Ponyville). This could also make sense due to Strawberry Shortcake characters names already sounding like they easily fit into MLP world, due to large amount of ponies in Equestria having names related to [[EdibleThemeNaming fruits and food]]. This would make also make SS characters members and/or relatives of ponies who have similar fruits in their names (Blueberry Muffin being [[https://derpibooru.org/tags/blueberry+cake Blueberry Cake]] sister, Apple Dumplin' being member of Apple family etc.).

Either it's Earth after the ''Lucifer'' destroyed it in ''[[VideoGame/BluePlanet Blue Planet: Age of Aquarius]]''' AlternateUniverse, or it's a version of Vasuda Prime that's been {{terraform}}ed by SufficientlyAdvancedAliens deep into the future who then repopulated the planet with Ponies. It's either that or its where Ponies and other Legendary Creatures live in a section of space that's completely isolated from the GTVA-Shivan conflict ([[HandWave because Shivan space separates the two]]) and their home planet (Equestria) is orbiting [[BilingualBonus Alpha]] [[IncrediblyLamePun Equuili.]] [[SerialEscalation And there are]] [[Anime/SonicX Seedrians, Mobians]], [[UpToEleven and a handful of other]] HigherTechSpecies [[MassiveMultiplayerCrossover from other]] {{Video Game}}s, {{Anime}}s, and [[WesternAnimation Television Shows]] that managed to evade the [[AbusivePrecursors Ancient Ones']] (or the [[OmnicidalManiac Shivans']]) influence.

Nurgle, as you know, is the god of despair and disease, but he also represents other things like parental love, tolerance, and, of course, friendship. Yep. Thing is, all of the Equestia is completely overtaken by some kind of mind-blowing disease that either twists the surrounding into the cute forms or forces the viewer to percieve the world that way - in fact, the My Little Pony world may be a toxic, diseased, disfigured hell beyond imagining. Furthermore... Let's see the antagonists - they are pretty much LighterAndSofter Chaos Gods. Discord is the most obvious, being chaotic, unpredictable and insane (Tzeentch); Windigos (I know about them from Wiki/TVTropes only so I may be wrong) are feeding on hatred and fighting - Khorne, eh? Nightmare Moon... Well, I would consider her Slaanesh since she's female, she has purple coloration, she tempts Rainbow Dash with sin of Pride, etc.

*** But Nightmare Moon only attacked to defend herself, not out of agressivity. In fact, she spends most the episode running from battle. Sombra, on the other hand, would probably be more than willing to extend his empire. Also, he attempts to kill Spike. While they both spread despair, Sombra seems more agressive.

[[WMG: Building on the above, Equestria is on another Literature/{{Discworld}}.]]

[[WMG: Equestria is a Shadow within the [[Literature/TheChroniclesOfAmber Amberverse]].]]
On her way to deliver the Jewel of Judgment to [[spoiler: Random]] during the climax of ''The Courts of Chaos'', the Unicorn from whom the Amberites are descended stops and rests in a fast-time Shadow where a few years pass as minutes in "objective" time; though she intended to simply rest and regain her strength, it turned out some of the local equines were at least as charming as [[spoiler: Dworkin]], and some progeny get left behind. Some time later the Courts of learn of a Shadow inhabited by sentient horses with Amberite blood on the distaff side, and a Lord of Chaos named Discord is assigned to monitor the situation.

The Shadow's fast-time nature means he eventually gets lonely, and he founds a little dynasty. After taking two of his descendants back to the Courts for Logrus training, they have a little falling out, and Discord gets pwnied. Their little rebellion slips through the cracks with the political situations as they are in Amber and the Courts; left without direction, the sisters rule together until a dispute leaves Nightmare Moon exactly where her name implies, and during the period of rebuilding that follows the newly crowned king of Chaos [[spoiler: Merlin]] stops by. Since he and [[spoiler: Random]] have the Amber/Chaos conflict under control he again has time for side projects, and he had to see the Shadow of friendly talking technicolor ponies to believe it. He and Celestia get on just fine, and he agrees to let her rule Equestria autonomously as a protectorate of the Courts of Chaos, in exchange for the chance to study the warped properties of the Shadow, such as how the local conditions caused the Chaos and Amber blood to stratify into three distinct pony races.

During one of his visits he meets an orphaned earth-type pony he adopts as his mascot, dragging her along on his travels through Shadow; this of course is Pinky Pie. On an ill fated visit to Amber she begins walking the Pattern, and of course is obliged to complete it; to [[spoiler: Merlin]]'s surprise she's able to pull it off, but though she survives, her psyche is damaged and she's afflicted with a bleak, terrible depression. Unable to help her any other way, [[spoiler: Merlin]] attempts the desperate kill-or-cure of having her also walk the Logrus. It works, but in addition to the inevitable Logrus-madness that afflicts all it's masters, Pinkey Pie's memories are fractured. Even when she's recuperated and returned to Equestria, she remembers her old friend [[spoiler: Merlin]] as her beloved Granny Pie, the period after walking the Pattern as her time on the rock farm, and the period after walking the Logrus not well at all. Back in Equestria she's closely monitored by Celestia and her finest physicians. It's found that she has no conscious memory of her abilities to traverse Shadows or manipulate the Logrus, and after she's deemed competent to function in society she's placed with Mr. and Mrs. Cake in a sort of work home situation.

* Celestia, Luna, and Spike are all AIs involved in maintaining the system (Spike was specifically designed to monitor Twilight). They couldn't have such long lifespans if they were the avatars of mortal humans. Like the Oracle, they seem to have developed some degree of affection and respect for their inmates.
* Discord is a rogue AI that was originally involved with creating the underlying simulation (hence his powerful "root access" that Celestia can't override on her own).
** In such a setting, Discord might actually be an AI on the humans' side: the reason he's so obsessed with chaos is he's trying to break the simulation and the inmate's acceptance of it as reality enough to enable them to wake them up and free them.
