If You Were In a Coma...

[The Girl with the Books 57]

I'd probably take up interpretative dance and maybe start seeing a psychologist. Then, after a particularly upsetting session, burn down the psychologist's practice and dance away from the crime scene.

[Pony Joe 583]

Well, since I want to work in entertainment, I could find a way to use it to my advantage. After 2 years of living the dream (heh, heh), I'd probably be set, as far as story ideas go, for life.

 

Because really, what's the point of an experience that's not real unless you can share it with other people?

[Commander Urdnot 2,680]

I would slowly turn to the doctor and say, "Doctor... Has Fallout 4 been announced yet?"

 

The doctor would reply, "No."

 

I then reach for a metal rod, and say "Put me back in." Then I proceed to smack myself with the metal rod, and I am knocked back into a coma.

 

Eventually cryogenic stasis becomes available to the public, and the doctors freeze me in a cyro pod.

 

So then I was destined to have adventures with Pinkie Pie and her friends in Equestria for the rest of eternity. A pretty good ending if you ask me.

 

The end.

[Dr. Vojislav Seselj 691]

OH GOD, ENDLESS POSSIBILITIES

I'd probably spend most of my time with Dashie. When I wake up, I'd probably be depressed as f***.

Then I'd wate for a cryogenic machine and a dream machine, use them both, and VOILA!

Endless adventures!

[Arrow 236]

Hmm, that's a hard one. Considering that alot of epic stuff is going to happen in there (with my hyperfantasy, of course there will!), when I'll wake up from it, I'd write down everything and then send it to the episode writers so they can make real episodes of it! Wouldn't that be something?

[Dautt 77]

become a superhero

become a supervillain

get a job

become a hobo

finish school and write down the dreams and sell the stories.

[Chill Mists (Chilly) 801]

Deep down I would have known it was all false anyway, I mean, it's a fictional world, not real. I would be pissed off for a while anyway, then probably forget I was ever in a coma. I would miss having Fluttershy as my wife though.

[Rainbow Dash Loyalty 1,275]

I'd keep those years personal and never tell anyone about it, they might think I'm crazy >.< No matter how much I'd love to live in Equestria, I have to face to fact and live in reality, even if it does suck. I could at least try to dream about living there again every night and take long naps.

[Twilight Sparkle ✨ 8,527]

I find it disconcerting how many responses to this thread state suicide as the followup action to waking up from an Equestria-filled coma.

 

As long a time as two years may be, do you really, truly, honestly hate living in the "real" world that much?

[Jalaton 155]

I think I'd be kinda sad to know that what happend wasn't real but then I'd move on. Maybe write down what I can remember of the experience.

[Lightning Fluttershy 1,844]

do you really, truly, honestly hate living in the "real" world that much?

The "real" world f**cking sucks. I'll admit that maybe I exaggerated a bit about suicide but I do truly hate the "real" world. There are a few things in this world that I enjoy, such as a few close friends and Saints Row 3 *cough* but most of the time the cons outweigh the pros. This world it being run by idiots who don't give a damn about us so why should we return the favour?

[Bronium 512]

Well, I'd be glad to get back into reality. I mean, my whole life must be all kinds of stuffed up. Really, I'm just surprised my Mum and Dad kept me going. I'd want them to take me off, but that's just me.

 

Even so, I'd just get on with my life.

[♥.:Yulaiyre:.♥ 290]

To be honest, I would probably be happy that I woke up, I'm pretty sure my parents would have missed me terribly, and I would want to know how all of my friends are.

 

Sure the land of equestria is nice, and perhaps if I actually went there I would feel a little different. But the fact is I know it all wasn't real, it was my interpretation of equestria. So I would just continue on and try to pick my life back up.

I think it's more due to the comparison of the real world vs an idyllic world. It's clear which one will win, and for some the switch would be too much, compared to a land like equestria, or any idyllic world, the harshness of this world is seen in a much sharper contrast.

 

I think for a lot of people it would be the final straw. To be reminded of the worlds ugliness after being in a such a peaceful place, being thrown back into the same place you were two years ago, it could be a big enough shock to break some minds.

All good points, but Equestria may not be as perfectly harmonious and idyllic as you think. That thread's a great read.

 

This world it being run by idiots who don't give a damn about us so why should we return the favour?

 

That kind of attitude leads to a chicken-and-egg problem where no one respects anyone, which I'd hazard to say is one of the core sociopolitical issues that ravages modern human civilization. You can do more than you might think to make the world a more pleasant place by being the one to initiate respectful communication with your peers.

 

As for leaders... most modern first-world countries allow anyone to run for president/prime minister/government top dog. Get a great campaign together, and use the power of democracy to put the mediocre leaders out of business.

It is not a hate of living in the real world but an extreme desire to live what you want most. If you can not get it in this life then...coma...coma is the answer (and or suicide, depends on your already degrading mental health)

[Spatsi 151]

Well, I would probably suffer from depression. I often have a very sad feeling when I wake up from beautiful dream and find out it didn't really happen. Waking up from Equestrian comma would be million times worse.

But I don't think it would cause a suicide. I would probably stay very sad for a few months, and then come back to reality.

[Shanks 10,816]

It would suck to leave, but that is what I would have to do. I would take what I learned from it try to apply to my life and try to be a good example so maybe someday our world can be a little bit more like Equestria. I believe very strongly that humanity is not living up to its full potential or even realizes this and much of this is because we rely on others to rule us or make things happens when that is our responsibility. You look to every positive social change and it has always happen when ordinary people have stood up and "this is wrong this has to change, there has to be a better way."

[Wubsie 1,123]

Lol I would be pretty pissed.

I had a lucid dream with me living in equestria before and it felt like I was there for at least 3 years.

Then I wake up....it's saturday, and I rage like a mo fo for at least an hour and a half.

I literally went into the basement about to get all emotional because I had to come back to reality XD.

I said:"GOD DAMMIT OH MY GAWD THAT WASN'T F**KING REAL!?!?!" "YOU GOTTA BE KIDDING ME!"

Then I grunt and rage for 30 minutes so hard that I become a f**king super sayian for at least a split second. XD

Then I realize that I just have to go with it.

Also why would people commit suicide over it?

I sure wouldn't, I would be pissed but ya know.

I have people to see, places to go, and a whole life ahead of me.

Even if it was 2 years (i would rage for 4 months probably) I would still just go with life regularly...

 

....

Also that book idea doesn't sound half bad....

[Shankveld 4,949]

I would be horrified o.o

Where is my husband?

What happened?

where is my sister?

How long was I 'gone' for?

All I'd think about was getting back to my family and getting readjusted into life.

No surreal pony world even compares.

[ChuniaC 52]

I would dedicate my life to come back, and if I would be unsuccessful I would probably suicide.

 

Incredibly enough, I have thought about EXACTLY this scenario before. (Though I didn't make a thread about it.) So I was quite surprised when I saw this thread.

[Chigens and Kay 3,832]

This thread appears to be related to the My Little Pony franchise and/or the Bronydom in general. Thus, it has been sentenced to Sugarcube Corner.

 

This is an automatically generated message, by the way.

[ConfettiBoom 35]

I would be absolutely traumatised, but.. The things I have been waiting for would be out and more! MLP season 3 and 4 would be out, Legends Of Equestria would probably be out so I could live in Equestria again. But.. Like you I would try to force myself into a coma but I would be in it for 1 week a month.

[duidamasterXD 9,627]

I would push on and try to reintegrate myself into regular life but I'd probably need massive therapy. I'm pretty sure you'd need therapy after being in a coma for two years anyway but if you were spending that time in a near idyllic world that you were torn out of, yeah I don't know. I would certainly be very depressed, hopefully wouldn't do anything so drastic as harm myself, but yeah, I'd have a lot to think about

[Dasher 119]

I would compile everything I did in the coma that I can recall in a notebook and stash it in a place where no one but myself would find it. Then I would try to manage to resume my life where I left off and see if any of my friends still remember me.

[Zalgo 593]

Heh... It's kind of funny.

 

I had the idea to make a fanfiction like this because I've asked myself this question a lot.

 

Like you, I would probably try and force myself back into a coma... :c

 

Also, this reminds me.

 

I had a dream awhile back where I was in Equestria. (as a pony) It felt like it lasted a couple of months... And when I woke up I looked around and realized it was a dream...

 

 

 

Then I actually cried... :c
