It's hard to believe that its been 10 years since this vid came out! Thank you everyone for your support and love! As for where I am right now, I'm working as a game developer for my own series set in a fantastical universe. It's got plenty of fun worldbuilding, lore, and all that good stuff. I've also learned 3D modeling and animation! If you'd like to check it out, I'm working on a RUclips video series talking about the game as I develop it!

Coming back to this after remembering it existed. Man, hearing these stories seven years later really puts into perspective everything that's happened. I adored these as a kid, they're a part of my childhood, and I still like them, even now.
I really love this story, you did a fantastic job on it! I especially liked how you connected Cadence to the Crystal Empire, being the daughter of the Empire's alicorn ruler explains why she's the Crystal Princess and also why she herself eventually became an alicorn. I also loved how you gave Sombra more of a character to himself, the theory that he was originally a crystal pony and dreamed of becoming a unicorn was especially interesting. Again, awesome job! Can't wait for Part 2! ^_^
One problem, you said Amethyst Shine came to check on preparations for the crystal fair. But, the crystal fair was made so crystal ponies could give their energy into the crystal heart. The crystal heart was made by Rubinus to express his affection to Amethyst Shine, meaning there could be no crystal fair before Rubinus and Amethyst Shine met. Just something I noticed.
She did indeed say in this story that Cadance and her mother where casted a spell on by the Cadance's father, they became sealed within an unbreakable crystal, so nothing evil could harm them. I'm sure the crystal works something like if you where frozen in ice and melted after a thousand years. If you have read Twilight and the crystal heart spell you will know that Cadance where found as a baby pegasus in the woods by some earth ponies. Something will happen to her mother, since she was alone
I adore MLP history. Wouldn't it be better if we were ponies and all the MLP characters were real? Seriously, i would love to actually study this kind of history! Don't you agree?
Love the OCs here. You are a good storyteller and the addition of music really brings the imagination to life. Sombra as Anakin - especially the impatience part. Star Wars is universal haha. Luna's dream powers are awesome. Great touch at the end with the storm /)
If I had one wish it would be that I hear equestrian history but its really american history and when ever I give an answer on equestrian history its really an answer american then class would be awesome
I think of all the mlp headcanon backstories you can find,this makes the most sense. If you have seen all three of these so far, you can kind of see how well everything fits together and how it is all connected. If you look at everything seperately it doesn't make any sense, but if you take it all and look at it as one big picture, it makes perfect sense because everything is connected.
Is it just me or is your history teacher Princess Celestia and your English, Luna? You are absolutely brilliant at these headcannon stories!!! I'm not a kind of production for fanfic pegasister/brony , but I know a good vid when I see one! Thanks for that. And your singing voice is great!!!! -skye- (That's my pony comment name)
Cadence wasn't the first princess of love it was princess amore the first princess of love until king sombra had turn her into stone and break her into pieces princess celestial and Luna replaced her with princess cadence.
At the beginning, when your OC was there, did anyone else notice Twilight Sparkle was there? Well, her rear end, at least. She was halfway inside a different corridor.
I'm getting addicted to these stories, Ink Rose, you are a great story teller, your doing it in a lovely manner, its making me feel very happy just listening to your tone of voice in these videos!
I have followed your headcanon history of Equestria, and I must say it is very well made. You chose slides that fitted with the current themes of your story and employed a fine use of music that accompanied the visuals very well. You are very articulate and enjoy a comfortable range of vocabulary and clearly display your extensive knowledge base. This is why, Miss Ink Rose, I find you and your videos the most informative and entertaining in the Brony fandom. Though I find your headcanon one of the finest in the community, the best word I can find for it is...generic. Don't get me wrong I have developed many more ideas from watching your interpretation of events, it is your use of the term 'Chaos Forces' that most clearly demonstrates my view. Though you might be trying to keep it open ended it just turns it into a uninspiring war for power which is unfair to the Alicorns as it implies that a great collection of kingdoms and nations were defeated by a group of radicals from within and frankly I would think the Alicorns be greater than that. though you made a good origin story for Sombra (Spanish for shadow) his end fate was to be become corrupted by the need for profit which isn't really as tragic as I make out is origin; you also moved is undeveloped character to the leader of the Chaos Forces, Umbra (Latin for shadow) who what? Wanted to rule the world through chaos (very illogical as tyrants would want order, not chaos), which I infer as rather bland character development. I also found it rather peculiar that your past nations were just regular ponys ruled by an Alicorn royal family rather than a whole nation of Alicorns. I prefer to see it as all ponys were once Alicorns in their lineage and were 'split' when they were defeated. The greatest reason as to why I feel the way I do about your headcanon is that you only ask the big questions like 'What happened to the Crystal Empire?' instead of small questions on the grounds of 'Why do diamond dogs hunt for gems?', 'Why is there only one dragon assistant if the test to get into the gifted unicorn school of magic is to open a dragon egg?' and 'why does the Everfree control itself?' answer enough of these smaller questions and a picture far grander than you can ever imagine starts to emerge, you will be presently surprised. For example: in one episode Applebloom speaks French which Applejack calls 'fancy'. If we say the word fancy in a (bad) French accent, it is pronounced as 'Faun-Say' as in 'what Fauns say' hence the language of the Fauns. Anyone who knows classical mythology knows that Fauns and Satars are half goat half human, who spend there days drinking, partying and chasing nymphs (remind you of any human stereotype?). Since the world of Equestria follows classical mythology and the fact a minotaur appeared on the show (and the fact it is a pun) it is feasible that a nation called 'Faunce' populated by Fauns may exist if we assume Applejack simply mispronounced the name of the language. So you see, small happenings can have big implications. Though you might find this harsh, I still think your headcanon is very impressive, all the more impressive considering that you are only 15 and a half. I expect very big things from you in the future both as a Brony, and a storyteller. I apologise to anyone who read this for using up their time and a hearty thanks for hearing me out. /)
Really heavy irony when you think about it, I watched this right after your Chrysalis story and it's quite interesting how love can completely make or break an entire kingdom...
An interesting fact, I created an OC who eventually become friends with a unicorn named Rubius Dark Matter. He is a distant relative to Sombra and looks similar to him. I hadn't see this video before hand, but it would be cool to basically have him named after the great Alicorn king of the crystal empire.
Nice story but i still enjoy the comic based on king sombra's REAL back story better sorry but the real one WAS pretty awesome i ship hope with sombra now because of it! oh and also like if you ship king sombra with hope too!
your time line doesn't make any sense star swirl the bearded was around during an age called the pre classical era so he was around before ponies had a mass exodus to what they now call Equestria as in he was alive BEFORE Equestria was a nation and BEFORE the rule of the alicorns and besides canterlot was only built after lunas banishment so.... yeah and apart from that looking at how sombras magic works its likely that his empire suffered hardship be it war or famine and some one he loved died causing him to become bitter and blame the rest of Equestria for it
You almost made me cry. The way I he was so desperate to become a Unicorn has a good and bad side. The fact that he would stop at nothing to reach his dream shows that he’s a determined stallion but he became evil so he’ll never be able to remember that determination.

Ugh why is Twilight's butt in the background😂

Randomly remember of this channel. Looking back, there is a lot I miss
Hard to believe these are over 7 years old and better than the ending we got.
why is your voice adorable?
DanishRPG I am a pegisister to its not surprising 0.o
OMG THIS STORY IS SOOOOOOO GOOOOOOD!!!
Yeah it's pretty nice but the real back story of king sombra is still my favorite. :D
These stories still SLAP! I haven’t even watched MLP in years!
You've just earned yourself a subscriber! You're a very a creative writer!
you got that right
Yup pretty much everyone I show this to always say basically that.
+African Vulture indeed
+African Vulture Yeah! Her Headcannons inspired me to make headcannons myself! :D
you are right
In your background, there was Twilight’s butt sticking out a doorway!!!!
Springjuicr when
I see her
Timestamp
I really love this story, you did a fantastic job on it!

LUNA AND SOMBRA SITTIN IN A TREE!! K I S S I N G!
-.-
First comes love then comes marriage
Then comes a baby in a baby carriage!!
Princess Luna Princess Luna?? *Bows* May I ask you a very deep question??
And what is that my dear?
I always love your head cannon storys please make more

DAYUM WOMAN!!! This is epic. You need to make a movie about this.
Anypony else notice that Twilight is in the back at 0:00 to 0:59
Sydney LPS u
Sydney LPS k
Sombra x luna is what my sister thinks
you have... the cutest voice ive ever heard....ever. Even sweetie belle dosnt sound as adorable as you. just sayin.
Chackra Vartin that's really weird what u said
I adore MLP history. Wouldn't it be better if we were ponies and all the MLP characters were real? Seriously, i would love to actually study this kind of history! Don't you agree?
Same 🩷🩷🤩🤩🤩

11:55; that's twilight,not sombra
Use your imagination along with that wonderful voice to see it works.
True
11:55
why cant history be this intresting
If I had one wish it would be that I hear equestrian history but its really american history and when ever I give an answer on equestrian history its really an answer american then class would be awesome
If only somehow god made the world like equestria
Zach Stolpa I would be a Pegasus!!!
I dunno why but I wanna FLY!!!!
I would be one to
Becky Mendoza I saw your comment removed as spam and yes we can be youtube friends
....What about Princess Amore? Yea...
Princess Amore is cadence
aesthetic sunshine no shes not shes a pony in the comics
sunflower honey uh no. In the comics princess Amore was a princess that was eliminated by King Sombra before he took over.
Serria Yisasia well I mean this is a separate headcanon, so Amore likely doesn’t exist in this.
How I see it is that Amore is Rubinus’s sister and Cadence’s namesake. She took over the kingdom after the Chaos War.
I think of all the mlp headcanon backstories you can find,this makes the most sense. If you have seen all three of these so far, you can kind of see how well everything fits together and how it is all connected. If you look at everything seperately it doesn't make any sense, but if you take it all and look at it as one big picture, it makes perfect sense because everything is connected.
do spike's and discord's mom and dad
I would to see that!!
Discord was Spike's Older Brother!?!(But they are actually both Dragon Species!)
Is it just me or is your history teacher Princess Celestia and your English, Luna?
You are absolutely brilliant at these headcannon stories!!! I'm not a kind of production for fanfic pegasister/brony , but I know a good vid when I see one! Thanks for that. And your singing voice is great!!!!
-skye-
(That's my pony comment name)
Cadence wasn't the first princess of love it was princess amore the first princess of love until king sombra had turn her into stone and break her into pieces princess celestial and Luna replaced her with princess cadence.
I hope you do one about Tempest Shadow from My Little Pony The Movie!
Fluttershy's family!! Do that!!
I am so happy to finally learn about mlp people. Your work is great and I hope you do more!
At the beginning, when your OC was there, did anyone else notice Twilight Sparkle was there? Well, her rear end, at least. She was halfway inside a different corridor.
Yeah
Sombra, no! You'll be through the looking glass and down the rabbit hole!
It's really cool how you tie your stories together.
I'm getting addicted to these stories, Ink Rose, you are a great story teller, your doing it in a lovely manner, its making me feel very happy just listening to your tone of voice in these videos!
superomegaprimemk2
The past of Cadence was revealed in the book "Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell"
and why are princess cadins and shining armor on the balcany?
You can also see rainbow dash too
"You will not understand much of this video unless you have watched the two previous videos."
I take that as a challenge! XD
11:55, that’s Twilight in her old home in Canterlot.
um why is rainbow dash hugging someone in the past?! she wasnt even born or she was a philly
Pictures xD

I think it’s the only pic Ink Rose could find of all the Crystal ponies together and Crystalline
love it😂
Another great headcanon! This inspired me to make one of my own 😄
I don't know why but I always watch you when I get sick, specifically you, barely anyone else XD

+Kandy Sprinkles you're skin is pretty
Just like, "Hurry, Spike! We must find-. "Hello, I will be talking about the origins of the Crystal Empire." "Wait, you knew? Tell me your secrets!"
Ink Rose, you are very creative and are awesome at writing stories. I love you and your headcanon back stories!
You have a very beautiful voice, and your headcanons are brilliant. Love it! ^_^
You can see twilight's but in the background.
The music you used when you mentioned Amethyst Shine what was it called
I really enjoy listening to your stories, they are awsome.🌸
Please keep up the fantastic work.

twilights butt in the corner XD
Where my bronies and pegasisters at in 2020? P.S. Lunbra is my OTP.
im in 2021
I didn't watch the two videos you recommended and I still understand 100% of this vid
Really heavy irony when you think about it, I watched this right after your Chrysalis story and it's quite interesting how love can completely make or break an entire kingdom...
Twilight's body in that photo!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Photo bomb! Also u aj fan? If want to add me my user name is sugarrush1009
I remember playing Aj XD I still remember my password and username I'm amazed
What if the king was king sombra
Please do an origin of Queen Chrysalis.
INK ROSE DOES THE BEST HISTORY OF EQUESTRIA STORIES EVER!!!!!!!!!!!! X3
1st one minute =behind her is twilight
How do you know this stuff ??
She came up with it!
Omg I cant believe the creativity in these youve got a new subscriber!
An interesting fact, I created an OC who eventually become friends with a unicorn named Rubius Dark Matter. He is a distant relative to Sombra and looks similar to him. I hadn't see this video before hand, but it would be cool to basically have him named after the great Alicorn king of the crystal empire.
i saw a HORSE BUTT
Nice story but i still enjoy the comic based on king sombra's REAL back story better sorry but the real one WAS pretty awesome i ship hope with sombra now because of it! oh and also like if you ship king sombra with hope too!
I made a fanfoal for Sombra and Hope and someone already is making a Fimfiction about it!
Sombra's comic felt like I was not only watching Anakin's fall but MCU Loki's as well.
I have no idea what that is so please just tell me if you hate the real story of sombra or like it
PowerSporeAJ I'm rather mixed about it.
What does that mean?
Your simply amazing at telling these stories I enjoy them tons :D
This is a great video
your time line doesn't make any sense
star swirl the bearded was around during an age called the pre classical era so he was around before ponies had a mass exodus to what they now call Equestria as in he was alive BEFORE Equestria was a nation and BEFORE the rule of the alicorns
and besides canterlot was only built after lunas banishment so.... yeah
and apart from that looking at how sombras magic works its likely that his empire suffered hardship be it war or famine and some one he loved died causing him to become bitter and blame the rest of Equestria for it
Please, read the warning of the video.
Jenna Brewer please go fuck your self
And here we see a mature response back-lashed with immature words. Jenna is completely correct, just enjoy the story.
enjoyed listening to this story! You're a great story teller!
Can you do the Origins of your favorite Kirby characters and the History of Dream Land?
The story is fantastic and the background music is so good
I watched this without watching the other two first! I'm such a badass! Lol.
The bit of "Imploded from sheer love" bit make me gigglesnort.
you are a wonderful storyteller
Theory: In the 2nd Scooby Doo movie, the beginning scene, Shaggies fans are STONERS like him.

#passitoneveryone
Ink Rose thank you for putting these head canons up i really cool how you did this ty
I am so subscribing to your channel! I've watched your other 2 headcanon videos and I am in love with your stories!!!
hi there Ink Rose i loved your head cannon and well your voice put me to sleep at the end..haha best sleep I've got in a while thanks
How sad for Luna. She was falling in love with Sombra. Once again a great story from a great story teller. Think I'm falling in love with your voice.
I like the redrawing for your characters proportions.
This introduced me to the bloody fandom! Thank you!
Wow... this is really well thought out... You're pretty good at this.
i love how you're story lines intertwine almost like the cutiemark origion episode
You almost made me cry. The way I he was so desperate to become a Unicorn has a good and bad side. The fact that he would stop at nothing to reach his dream shows that he’s a determined stallion but he became evil so he’ll never be able to remember that determination.
14:17 i wanna be, the very best, like no one ever was!
i did not watch the previous ones but i still got it PS. your an amazing drawer
Wow.I love your stories they're very interesting I subscribed and liked your vid Ink Rose
