Last Moment With Dashieby *BlackGryph0n

Fan Art / Digital Art / Vexel Art / TV & Movies

"I'll miss you, Daddy..."

Based on the Fan Fic My Little Dashie by

If you have not read this fan fic yet, you must... YOU MUST... YOU MUST!!!
It is honestly one of the best short stories I have ever read, and I have read a few! For those of you who haven't read it though, here's the premise so that you may better understand this image:
Warning: SPOILER
Rainbow dash is found as a filly by a man who lives alone in the house his parents left him after they passed away. Over the course of several years, he raises her as a daughter, never knowing where she came from or how she got there. With the help of her adopted father, Rainbow Dash grows to become the mare we all know. They go through some hard times, they have some fights, yet through it all, their relationship grows ever stronger. On a summer day of the fifteenth year, Princess Celestia and the other five show up at his house to bring Rainbow Dash home with them, explaining that an accident had sent her to our world only a few equestrian days earlier. The final moments between Rainbow Dash and her adopted Dad are some of the saddest words I have ever read. Before twilight erases Dashie's memories of our world and takes her back to Equestria, Dash writes this letter:

Dad,

For fifteen years you took care of me. For fifteen years you loved me, played with me, and made sure I enjoyed my life in a world not meant to house me. I'm not a mare of many words, but even though I told you this in person, I felt you needed a written version of it so you will know it was all real.

I love you daddy. You helped shape me into the mare I am now. I'm not sure what is going to happen, if I will remember any of this or not, but I want you to know that you did a darn good job of raising me, even if I was a bit stubborn at times and short with you during others.

With Celestia's permission, I hope to allow you to keep our photos; our memories, with you so that you will never forget. Again, I love you, and thank you.

Your little daughter always,
Your little Dashie forever,
Rainbow Dash.

So everypony, if you haven't read it yet, please, for me, READ IT!! You may cry a little, but you won't regret it, I promise you.

THIS PIC IS DEDICATED TO WHO GAVE ME A YEAR LONG PREMIUM MEMBERSHIP!! THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!

I LOVE this! I loved the story, and this just makes me cry.
I love how you mixed in the drawing with the photo, I tried once and was terrible.
You deserve to have this put into a movie as a flashback scene at the credits. Like it shows different photos that were in the scrapbook. 5/5! Well, I'm not allowed to publish this unless I have a few more words so..... This is great this is great I love it I really love it! Make more of stuff that would be in the scrapbook. Like the SonicRainboom and when she flew. Well done!

*Sigh* What can I say that hasn't already been said? It's beautiful it's heartbreaking it's charming. An I'm talking about the story and this picture. Just looking at Dashie and reading the note she wrote, makes me bawl every time. I don't know how you did it, but you somehow got Dashie in perfect sync with the human. A technique very hard to master.
Now the only reason I gave Originality 4 stars is because it's not that original. He drew it based off the story. But that doesn't mean it's not a good picture. Great job and thank you.
