>>27243346
Aw darn.

Guys how do contribute? Do I need to read all the prior updates first?

>>27243361
Sad to say, if you don't you'll probably be really lost.

It's not a standard prompt thread, this is one LONG, LONG, LOOOOONG continued story. I started on thread 1, and hasn't finished. It's got multiple writers with different stories and a huge load of characters, but no Anon at all, and only a barest miniscule of smut sequestered away in the After Dark pastebin, that's not canon.

It's well worth your time, it's one of the longest and craziest stories out there, 90 percent comedy but when we go big we go BIG on the action.

>>27243396
Fug, from the OP I got the impression that Princess Applejack is sort a compilation of little stories. I'm going to read through it. I dabble in writefagging so I'd like to contribute but it'll take time to catch up.

>>27243361
You should, bare minimum, read the first few threads in the pastebin, just to see if it's something you like. Like the anon above said, this isn't just a 'Hey anon I did a thing write some green with your self insert!' thread. There's Zero green faced people here, but an assload of interesting scenarios, stories, new foes and even a side arc with a guy on a pirate ship. Characters change, develop and grow, and some of them even get to fight giant monsters in the middle of the city.

Because they have all grown so much, it would be a little hard if you weren't caught up, especially right now as we're in the middle of an arc with a supersized Changeling villain fighting a magically powered giant mechamoth over Canterlot while a filly provides cover fire with a rocket launcher, but if you have any questions, shoot. If nothing else, the Timeline in the Wiki will help you out.

>>27243434
It started as just that, thread 1 was just random stories about AJ pointing out shit was wrong with Equestria that eventually started to get connected, and before you knew it we had a full continuity. Then after that we started building on the world, and characters, and growing and changing and it got all out of control.

No worries about how long it'll take to catch up, we'll still be here, and likely in the middle of yet another arc by the time you do. Who knows? Maybe you'll even get an idea for a full arc yourself.

It's worth it, man.

>>27243434
>Princess Applejack is sort a compilation of little stories

It kinda is? Most of the stories are just one-shot sillies. Like, there's a story and characters change and evolve and all that, but the vaaaasssttt majority of what you'll see is

>Character A
"Character B"
~~~~

>Silly time!

"Probably without any action description!"

OOCO
>AJ
"Celestia"
~~~

>Tia? Gotta question.

"Go for it. I don't even care anymore. I DON'T EVEN CARE."

>Good, cause Ah' do care. And what Ah' care about specifically is, what's on the top of the mountain?

"I beg your pardon?"

>Ah'm just sayin', do we got outposts up there? Docking stations for zepplin? Wonderbolt hangout? What's up there?

"Um, well..."

>Is it somethin' stupid?

"It's... a disco floor."

>...

"I MISS IT OKAY!"

>Ah'm cuttin' the funding for that.

"Why must you kill everything I love!?"

So if Chitty gets KO'd and arrested, doesn't that mean she's able to be extradited to other countries as well?

Couldn't Gwen request she be handed over to finish her off or something?

>>27243689
Depends, Celly might pull rank and say they get first dibs. Bigger problem is how AJ's going to lay down the hammer if she doesn't get the right story.

reposing from last thread (with less phone auto-corrects)

She can locate changelings. 13 is essentially a tracking device on Sunset and sweet note. all Chitty needs to do is get away from them and activate it.


And for the other route. We could have Princess Pthirus be the one behind Pennydrop (with mind control). It works, considering her change from initial appearance and we can even salvage the whole Peach thing.

>>27243689
Yes and no. She can request it but We are working with the same rules that kept 32 alive, Equestrian soil Equestrian convict.

Now provided they can arrest her, get DT and Gwen not to 'make sure', get her in a cell, and keep her love starved so she can't break out....then sure. But if we are jumping through this many hoops to nerf chitty for a few months will we ever let her out?

>>27243770
>. We could have Princess Pthirus be the one behind Pennydrop (with mind control)

Wow, no. Let's not do that.

We do not need to undo over a hundred threads of bulidup, the cause of four major arcs, a well established villain role that perfectly contrasts AJ's and all of the personality and stuff we've built up that PD is capable of just to hype up a new villain, and especially not a changeling one. An earth pony foe based around science and industrialization is waaaaayyyyyyyy better a villain than that shit, period. The peach thing is cute but wow no.

UR ALL FAGGOTS !!!!
damn bronies becuz of you sick bastards i cant fap to anything that doesnt include 'horse' in it

>>27243800
Point.
>>27243803
hi friend

Im not ur friend asshole go suck a horse

ur so rude take a chill pill buddy

>>27243800
I'm still in favour of.... AJ and Pennydrop haven't met have they?

Well, if so, I'd be in favour of Pennydrop actually being Peach.

Cos that'd be fun, then it'd be tragic, then it'd be CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT AAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

how about you shut that mouth of yours before i fill it for you

I have a really simple Idea for her to get out of this, but man will it be fucking messy.

She could PUNCH THE FUCKING MOUNTAIN! The resulting rock-slide will take eyes off her as she shrinks and hides in the kicked up dusty smoke caused by the debri. Then woosh~!

>>27244037
So your option is kill everyone in Canterlot, no.

>>27244037
If she's going to do that, just punch Canterlot. If she just punches the mountain than Celly or PD can hold back the landslide, and DT will be there to take her down if she shrinks.

Punch the ground and everyone is fucked.

"Fine, make little hugging motions, see if I care."

>Well, I didn't expect that.

Seeing Chitania attacked from all sides as she was, constantly covered by fire and smoke, was starting to get to her. Every missile, every magical burst, every cannon shell and bullet was finally starting to wear down on the Titan's power, making even her unbreakable hide show signs of damage beneath the blasts. The newest combatant had done a lot of damage with that little number she had unleashed, and it showed

>I'll have to remember that one.

She was stunned by how far they had gone, but was not surprised. They were planning to kill her now, actually trying to kill her.

>Oh, you poor naive ponies, as if I would let that happen.

Her plans had only just begun, the seeds barely even been planted yet. She couldn't let it all go to waste so easily, could she?

That and she admitted, at least some part of her did, that she still had to give the changeling what was promised. If nothing else, Chitania had kept her part of the deal, she would be remiss if she did not do the same.

>You'll get out of here... if only because I know it will piss that apple loving bitch off-

"LOOK OUT!"

So caught up in her plans, she hadn't even noticed another presence had been running towards her, instead of past her, until the other body brazenly tackled her to the side. She was hurled aside just before a chunk of a building could fall on her head. When her head stopped spinning enough she could see the crumbled bit, she felt a bit annoyed. It was no bigger than her hoof, and she doubted it would have done any more than a simple bump on the head.

It annoyed her, to the point she was considering blowing off the head of the one on top of her to chunks and blaming it on a stray stone. It was only when she recognized the voice that she stopped her magic.

"Do thou wish to be crushed so easily!? Really, if thine love is so low thou cannot dodge a simple falling stone then simply call to... do mine eyes deceive!?"

1/4

>>27244599

She would recognize that ridiculous speech anywhere.

"HARK! They speak true! Thine body, restored! Love is sensed in thine heart! Life again doth beat with the flurry of what once was!"

Newer, was how genuinely happy he sounded. So taken aback by it, the mare found herself speechless as he lifted her up.

"Congratulations, my old companion! Tis been such a time since I've seen thee!"

It took her a second to recall it before she confirmed he was correct. What she could last remember was their time at Puerto Burro, when he had left unconscious.

>Yes... thank you so much for keeping in touch.

She didn't know if it was simple obliviousness or his ego suffocating such a thought that prevented him from hearing the dripping sarcasm in her voice.

"Of course! Though I was upset thou never wrote back. I had a great many questions!"

>Wrote back?

It hit her, quite suddenly, that she had not been home since the trip had ended. Before the trip, she hadn't had any need to be over there after all. The thought someone actually sent her letters felt.. alien.

"No doubt, thou have been restored by the princess most grand, has thee not? Well, celebrations are in order!... As soon as we avoid uh... being crushed."

>... You really have no idea, do you?

"No idea of what?"

She almost found it funny.

>Come here.

She jerked him forwards, and whispered. Then she waited for the denials, the shock of her new friend, all of it.

"They... didn't do anything?"

She wanted him to break, just like all the others had broken.

"...Oh, well... I suppose she can't be all bad?"

He said this, but still found himself drifting over to the sight of the battle.

"Present evidence excluded? What did set her off this time, anyway? This seems... sudden."

The shock of his words took some time before they wore off, and the ringing in her ears stopped enough she could hear again.

>You don't seem shocked.

2/4

>>27244619

"To be truthful, I'm not. One of them punted me across city lines and put me under threat of death, a threat she would apparently go through with if mine fair Mayor Mare is any indication, and that was the 'nice' one. I admit, more worry filled mine heart when thou said Twilight was looking to fix thee."

>Oh? And why is that?

"I have dealt with her medical procedures before, and I DUN WANNA GO BACK IN THE TUUUUUBEE! IDUNWANNAGOBAAAAAAACCCCCKKKKKK!"

It took some time before his pupils shrank and his breathing got back to normal.

"My apologies. But no matter! What is important is that thou is fixed, and we must celebrate!... Later! When there is not a war upon us right over there because there is a war and we should be swift as the wind as we make haste. Come! Thou may come with mineself and mine friends, we shall be off soon!"

She didn't move when he tugged her, a combination of having other places to be and one surprising fact.

>...You don't even want to know how she did it?

He prissily scoffed, waving his hoof to dismiss her.

"What do I care of such of the complexities of medical science? Mine only stake in this matter was thee no longer being of the land of the living. Thou is restored, and we can speak again on the wonders of Deerthoven's nineteenth symphony and how overrated it is! All is fine to me."

His reasons seemed selfish, but she could not get past their sincerity to notice.

>...Hey, Twenty Nine?

"Yes, mine friend?"

She leaned in again, whispering like she did before.

>I'll see you again, very... soon... don't hang out with the princesses too much.

A chill ran down his spine, with a fear he could not explain becoming present in his heart as her smile became almost crazy.

"They... don't like me, actually?"

>Good... that's very good... you'll be the last, if it all goes wrong.

She patted him on the cheek, her smile growing more out of control. With a skip and a hop, she turned around.

3/4

>>27244634

>We'll talk later, but I have some things to do now... goodbye, Twenty Nine!

"Ah, yes... goodbye?"

Without missing a beat, she pranced off.

"...That was weird."

'NINEY!'

Out from the city, at last his other two companions caught up to him.

'Was that who I think it was!?'

(It could not be, unless it was some sort of illusion or change. But her coat seemed real, nothing really was strange.)

The changeling nodded, still looking to where Sunset had gone, and not to the earth pony or Zebra.

"That was Sunset. But she seemed... off."

'Like, worried she's going to die 'off'?'

"No... not that at all."

(Ah, then no need to fuss. She is nothing like us.)

"What doth that mean?"

'It means RUN!'

He didn't question them, bolting out of the way of more crumbling masonry.

'Seriously, what happened!? How is she fixed?'

(You really need to ask such a thing? There's but one princess who's life she can bring.)

"Actually... thou art not going to believe this..."

With the world crumbling around them, and the grandest battle they had ever been present for raging behind them, he spun the tale that had been told to him.

When the two mares finally looked back to the changeling, they had the same glance he himself had held not so very long ago.

'..I call bullshit.'

(MAREY!)

'You all were thinking it!'

There would be time for thinking later. Now, he needed to run. Later, he could think about the words the mare had said to him... and what they truly meant.

"I am probably overthinking this..."

>>27244643
DAMN IT POMMEL SHE'S GOING FULL SERIAL KILLER DO.... uh... dooooo...

I don't know what he can do exactly, but he should do it.

>>27244643
This is going to end badly.

29 doesn't deserve this, he just wants to be a good not-dad.

>>27244689
I guess ask her what happened?

Not that it matters, but he could try.

>>27243851
I'm not gonna fight them being cousins, but I agree with >>27243800 that we shouldn't have her mind controlled or something just so we can write in a new villain.

>>27245065
>new villain.
New villain new shmillain!

We got enough OP as fock shit on our plate as is without throwing an Even More Evil Mind Controller Who's Super Evil She Has Long Ebony Black Hair With Purple Streaks And Red Tips yadda yadda yadda

>DT
"???"
~~~

She felt alive again.

Whirring through the air, with the tickle of the cold wind on her coat and the pleasant hum off her one true weapon was a sensation she had been sorely missing this whole time. It was almost a comforting warmth that rolled off the jumpjets coming out of either side of her beloved TBDRLIATU, holding onto her like a partner should. They moved as one through the air, and together they unleashed the screech of rockets that bombarded the beast down below that desperately swiped at her.

It had been too long, she had been inactive far too much, she never realized how lacking she had felt inside, until now. Now, she felt alive.

Everything was perfect.

"Applejack is going to be quite irritated at you, you know."

Almost perfect.

>Well, she is more than welcome to file a complaint with my PR department, where they will tell her to shove it up her-

"I've got the message, thank you."

It was the rare being who would outright scoff as the one and only princess Celestia descended upon them, but the filly had always considered herself one of the truly unique ones in this world.

"Regardless, thank you for stepping in, you've managed to save an important delegate and deal a powerful blow to Chitania. I must ask, though, what was that?"

Her nose shot up into the air, and she proudly gave the princess a view of her black uniform's backside as she made a show of trotting back towards the fight.

>It's called a Castle Crusher. Fun fact, that's the second one I ever fired! Thanks so much for giving me the opportunity to show it off.

"Interesting... and how is that made, exactly?"

>Sorry, a lady never tells her secrets.

Previously understanding, inquisitive eyes turned sharp and dangerous.

"I do not like it when my subjects conceal dangerous weaponry from me, Diamond Tiara. It makes me question what their future plans for such weapons are."

>Well, too bad!

1/3

>>27245230

Her body twisted, allowing her to look back to the princess and proudly display the full length of her rocket launcher.

>I was more than happy to give all of you a full list of everything TBDRLIATU does and everything with it, but then it was you who let her kick me off the team! All of a sudden you didn't want me or need me, and I could just get tossed aside when it was all over! You were the ones who got rid of me, not the other way around, so if you don't like it? Tough, Applejack kicked me out and you just watched me go. It's too late to care.

The harshness in the alabaster pony's eyes lost some of their bite briefly, softening as she looked down at the one so much smaller than her.

"She didn't discard you, Diamond Tiara, she was only looking out for your safety. Do not lash out at her like that for something done with intentions as well as hers."

She scoffed again, far louder, far stronger, this time.

>Lash out? Pffft, don't flatter yourself, I moved on. I found someone who actually understood what I'm capable of and what I can bring to the table, and they don't care that I'm just a widdle fiwwy in a biwg scawwy world.

She could not recall ever even seeing Discord mock her in such a way, and that the baby talk was coming from an actual child did not help matters in the least.

"She was only looking out for you."

>You know who needs to look out? You. Because if you don't get up and do something, tomorrows papers are going to be talking about how you got left behind... again. So if you don't mind, I've got a monster to bring down. I'm not opposed to a little team up, the papers looove stories like this. But if you think I'm going to hold back so you don't look so bad...

She twisted her hoof, and her jumpjets flared to life.

>You don't know me, anymore than she did.

2/3

>>27245238

Upset, irritated eyes cut upwards, to the gleaming and massive battleship in the air laying down fire on the black mass in the city. It had not stopped firing, not a once, and she very much doubted it ever would, until there was not a trace of life left in that chitin.

"...This mare you are working with is not what she seems, Diamond Tiara. She does not care for you, and will only use you so long as you further her goals. She will be rid of you when she finds someone better."

>What, like you did?

The alicorn went silent, and the filly just sneered.

>That's what I thought. Who I work with? You can just deal with it, it's none of your business anymore.

Those jumpjets, previously little more than wisps of flames, became an inferno as powerful as any rocket could be.

>You had your chance, Princess... you blew it.

Into the air, into the fray, into the battle she flew, smiling all the way. The eyes that followed her were not insulted, or angry.

Only regretful.

"...hardly the first time..."

>>27245230

God how I hate her

>>27245319
I don't hate her, but she's the Raymundo of the A-Team, she's the troublemaker who wants more than she's supposed to have and is willing to do some bad things to get it, but she's still a good pony at heart. when this blows up in her face eventually, she'll end up back on the A-Team after actually apologizing or some shit.
We have a really bad habit of making our heroes people we love to hate and our villains people we hate to love

>>27245253
You did this, AJ!

YOU DID THIS!

>>27245335
God I hate this threads tendency to do that

Can't ever make a proper antagonist or evil villain, nooOOOOOoooo we just HAVE to make them more LIKEABLE and DEVELOPED than our actual protagonists

>>27245335
>she'll end up back on the A-Team after actually apologizing or some shit.

...What? Why would that get her back? What's she apologizing for? She DID get kicked off, and abruptly, by AJ. What's she going to do, go-
>Sorry you fired me
"That's all Ah' needed ta' hear, welcome back!"

>>27245348
PD isn't as likeable as our MC's, she just not stock by the numbers evil villain.

Stock evil only works if they're nothing more than a block in the way of the story. If you want to bring up some actual questions or moral quandaries or nuance to actions, you have to make them actually characters. Likes, dislikes, why they do stuff, what they wouldn't do, why they do it, how they got here and how they grow and change as the battle rages on.

That's only a 'proper' antagonist for a series that wants to unequivocally paint the heroes in the right all the time for what they do, unless what they do is against every other hero.

Pennydrop isn't good, or a noble person, or anything like that, but she laughs, she cries, we knows why she does what she does, her reasons are ones we understand and not "CUZ I'M EVOL!", and she develops as time goes on. You know, a proper antagonist to the MC, not just a dragon she has to slay in the castle.

>>27245441
I assume she'll apologize for whatever crazy shit she works on with PD, because blowing up a city when you're not fighting a kaiju is probably illegal.
Probably.

>>27245441
Yeah, but then you don't have a cardboard cutout to scream "I LOVE BEING EVIL" before being killed to show we're mature.

Making villains relateable and understood but not in the right, or god forbid actually in the right once or twice total is so kiddy.

>>27244643
Thank you for writing that. 29 may just be one of the last good influences Sunset will allow near herself. And it developed him as someone who cares about more than just royalty.

Helll, even his self aware 'they don't like me much' line about the princesses was very mature for him.

>>27245253
...so, we have Chitty and her team of assholes being countered by PD and her companionship of even bigger assholes. And the princess get pissed on by both sides...

Rarity fucking up, Caddy failing, Twilight going crazy, Cellys old mistakes and AJ failing.... Holy fuck, we really hate princesses don't we...?

>>27245782
>Partially ascended
Awuh?

Ara's normal, except for the artificially grown legs.

>>27245822
I remember agreeing that she was partially ascended from her mother's raw love, so that we can have an in into ascending two without the whole heart munch thing.

>>27245847
>Two
>Capt ital 'T'

FTFY

>>27245822
She has a mane buddy and I remember agreeing to that too, cause I really want Two to have the option instead of staying a cute normal bug forever.

>>27245877
And ehyyyyyy would she need to be a princess? Why must every OC sue be ascended to go shook here?!

>>27245782
>>27245822
>>27245847
>>27245877

It wasn't an 'official' decision guys, BUT! There was nothing said against it, so it might have just been accepted quietly.

>>27245847
That doesn't make any sense, though. She's shorter than normal for a changeling due to her being stunted in growth, she doesn't have a whole lot of power, and anything she's had with her mom would have been easily matched and for a far longer time by what Caddy does for 2, so then she would have done any ascending already, instead of creating and in it just makes a plothole.

I like the idea for an in and certainly want a non-nom based ascension, but that feels asspully.

>>27245820
But Caddy isn't failing anymore and Twilight going crazy lead to her having a better grasp on her limits.

We don't hate them, we just want them to grow. Case in point, AJ never failed in the first three arcs, ever. So guess who got shafted for development!

>>27245904
Firstly, Two is not a Sue, shes a 'daughteru'... I didn't even THINK something like that existed, but she does and shes mine.

And secondly, the way I see it, Its like seeing her grow up. Like all the way and reaching her full potential, every parent should want that, right?

"No, sorry sweetie, what you naturally bring to table just isn't enough for me. Here, take this magical power up and pretend to be one of the big girls so I can dress you up in fancy lingerie and have you make dirty jokes without making me feel bad! No need to wait years for you to grow up normally."

WORST. DADDY.

>>27245945
Dude, the whole point of the 'Heart Munch', is because that is where all the Love is litterally is stored in this world. Consuming it, when a Queen's love is at its highest, triggers the complete Ascension process.

When Sciddy left to face her fate, she poured as much as she could she could possibly give into Arana.

Think of it like giving a jump to a car battery, its enough to get it going, but if you took the battery out of the other one and put it into the first car... Well as long as the batteries are comparable, same make and model, then the first car can just go on with the battery of the other.

>>27245990
Tell me, how does it feel to be the resident shit head?

>>27245820
>And it developed him as someone who cares about more than just royalty.

Well we knew that already, since he gave up his dream of being with Royalty when it meant that he would have to leave MM/Zecora/Trixie behind, and he actually gave up his chance with the one royal he remotely had a shot with because 56 would be upset.

That said, I agree, 29 is in a unique position where

>He doesn't like the princesses either because they(Completely justifiably) treat him like a pest(because he is)
>He bonded with Sunset before everything went tits up and gave her love so that she stayed alive
>Likes her more than normal because she actively fought to save him from Chitty
>Isn't stationed in Canterlot so she could see him and avoid AJ and crew
>Is a pretty decent guy when someone is in trouble and can put up with a lot of shit, ala Trixie.

I just find it super odd Sunset didn't tell him that the princesses started the fight...

>>27246015
But we aren't talking Cuddy and Arana. We are talking how Two has been in the mist densely love-polluted country in the world, right next to Shining 'makes Changelings immortal' Armor, the PRINCESS OF LOVE and the crystal heart. Her parets, the citizens and even some antagonists adore her.

If this 'enough love makes you ascend' stuff worked, Two would have been Queen loooooong ago.

It doesn't work for her. It may have for Arana. But not Two.

>>27246046
Maybe its not the right type of love. Every Queen goes knowing they will never seen there Daughter grow up. Maybe its that final heart wrenching good-bye love, when you know you'll never seen a beloved relative or friend ever again.

>>27246015
>Dude, the whole point of the 'Heart Munch', is because that is where all the Love is litterally is stored in this world.

There's also a secondary magical element to it, though, as ones like 42 have consumed higher levels of love than a normal Queen would store, yet remains not even partially ascended. In addition. The amount would also vary wildly from Queen to Queen, as some would be better fed than others. Furthermore, your car battery analogy doesn't work, as Chrysalis has burned out yet she just withered away, she didn't lose what made her go or anything.

If it was just 'Get ____ amount of love' then this whole heart thing would've been a non-issue/impossible for a vast majority of them.

And finally... what the fuck does "Partially ascended" even mean? She's shorter than normal, she doesn't have any more power than normal, she aged over time while down there so it's not like she's ageless or immortal, and... that's about it. What, did it just give her a mane? As said, she didn't even grow, she's so short she looks like a kid due to malnutrition and her small confines.

I see what you're saying, but it just raises too many questions.

>>27246024
>I just find it super odd Sunset didn't tell him that the princesses started the fight...

Sunset is an antagonizer. She manages to rile up everyone against each other and twist situations or facts so they blow out of proportion.

I... I think it was one of her last shows of kindness that she didn't make him start hating the princesses and get directly involved in the current uprising by telling him they shot first.

It must be obvious to her that he'll make his own, sound conclusions, especially with how educated he must come across to her.

>>27246077
I didn't mean the go as in actually functioning, I meant that as in the 'Jump' being partially ascended and the 'Passing the Battery' being the full ascension.

>I see what you're saying, but it just raises too many questions.

The way I see it, you might just be over thinking everything, trying to make every puzzle piece fit.

>>27246022
Pretty awesome. Threads are usually full of trolls and people tossing shit like monkeys. Being the only obnoxious asshole in a thread full of level-headed adults feels kind of novel and exciting

>>27246121
I'm with him on one thing, what does Partially ascended mean? Like, how are we defining it, cause she hasn't shown any other traits besides hair.

Can she get pregnant with a hive now, is that what you're saying? Nothing else says "Queen"

>>27246068
Soooo what you're saying is we need to Mufasa Shining?

>>27246121
Not him, but the way I see it, ascension needs:

>maternal love
>make it highly concentrated(heart)
>must take it all at once
>there might be something changeling biology stuff involved, so maybe changeling heart indigestion is a must, possibly queen heart.
>maybe ascendant has to have familial feelings toward donor?

All those conditions have to be met in order for it to work.
Creating them artificially would be a real pain in the ass, if not impossible.

>>27246261
Also,
>Donors love level must be at its potential peek.

>>27246261
We do know that they don't have to biologically be related, Chitty's mom said you can replace an Heir if you need to.

>>27246692
Chitty's mom said she didn't care if Chitty died, because she could just grab one from another Queen. It was the flashback when Chitty went off to save that one Queen, while her mom was waiting for said Queen to die so she could steal her soliders and drones.

You can't pick from one of the others because there's only one female.

>>27246725
There are a shit ton of princesses in Chrissy's hive.

>>27246797
I meant in a normal hive, Chrysalis's hive is the exception that only happened because Hives were dropping left and right, and Momsie desperately snatched up any drones she could find to fill the ranks she was rapidly depleting, by the end it was about saving the species. There's only one girl per hive, Chrysalis isn't related to any of the females except for 42, who was spared for an as yet unrevealed reason.

>Pennydrop

>She really is something, isn't she?

The smile on the businessmare's face was almost wistful as she looked down at the carnage. Every light positively flashed in Pennydrop's eyes, giving them an unearthly sparkle that seemed to stick around even after the light had passed. Beside her, the much more serious Griffon Queen let her talons impertinently click against they seats foreleg rest, the fire reflecting in her eyes and seeming to be drawn in with every second.

"I hope you're not speaking of the beast."

>Heh, no. You know who I mean.

"...I will admit, I am glad she is aiding us in the fight once more."

>Just like old times, isn't it?

"Hopefully with a much better outcome this go round."

>Oh, I don't think we have to worry about that...

The console before them began to flash, a loud trill accompanying it.

>About time.

"You're taking a call at a time like this?"

Though she felt ever so slighted when the mare did not answer her back immediately, the grimace visible for just a second told the Queen her friend was far from ignoring her.

~Well helllllloooo, my most favorite business associate!~

She understood all too quickly, when a dim pink pony with a far too pointy snout appeared on the screen.

>Spoiled Rich, how nice to talk to you again.

Though her tone was nothing if not jovial and business professional, the griffon could all too easily hear the strained undertone laced with every word.

~Yes, and it is just lovely to see your beautiful face again, Pennydrop dear! I'm so happy you were available to talk!... But since you're able to, I was wondering if you could possible aim your little fireworks just a bit to the southern side? The flashes are making it hard for the camera crew to get a good shot of Diamond Tiara in action, and we reeeally need that shot of her in the air.~

>Uh huh.

The Queen found keeping her beak shut was a challenge. Keeping her feathery eyebrow from raising, impossible.

>>27247007

~Yeees, and of course we need to show off her wonderful toy's new look for the toyline coming out later, it's going to be all the rage this holiday season!~

>I'll bet.

~And while I of course would never ask you to do anything that would make you look bad, is there any way we can make a note of her save with you in the upcoming book? We really need to get that superhero vibe going after all, and nothing looks better than a last minute save!~

>Well, she did save us.

~I knew you'd see it that way! It's not about who looks better, but working together after all... oh! Let's work that in for the moral, I just thought of that! Isn't that wonderful?~

>I'll run it by the writers.

~Excellent! Well, you get back to finally taking down that horrid, disgusting changeling, but if it's possible see if Diamond Tiara can get the last shot in. I told her to get nice and close if she gets the option and strike a pose, so don't you fret, she's on the same page!~

>Gotta play this one by ear, I'm afraid.

~Oh of course, of course! Well, whenever you're all done, come back down to the Trottingham office, we'll negotiate some more! I've got some ideas that are a little high stakes, but when you see my pitch I'm sure you'll agree it's well worth it for the profit you could make back. Believe you me, with this idea we'll be making returns to swim in!... Oh, and if you see Diamond Tiara after this is all done, tell her she did a good job, she likes that, and we'll talk after negotiations are finished. Have fun with your fight, ciao!~

With that, the magical screen vanished, leaving only a stunned griffon, and a smirking mare.

"...So did she just not see me-"

>Nope, she saw you.

"So does she not know I'm-"

>World of business, Gwen. Imply you'll invest in her company and she'll sell you her husband, probably. Otherwise, you're dead to her.

"...Let me shoot a bit, I need to vent."

Happily, she passed the trigger, and watched the show.

>>27247250
Actually, the fact she was scared of being too high up and important when she was mimicking Chrysalis says a lot about old Chrissy.

>>27247920
Yeah, Chrysalis is lazy and loved the power but didn't want the responsibility.

...Tell us something we don't know.

>>27247557
She probably got him to knock her up and cried child support at the thought of him not marrying her.

Hook, line and sinker.

>>27248075
Would you want the responsibility of preserving the last of your dying species? Honestly her going so far as to risk their lives at the wedding fiaso shows how desperate she was getting at that point to keep them fed. Foolish, but her heart was in the right place.

>>27248302
Who knows, maybe she's really super sweet to him, but only him. Everybody else she's a raging bitch to, but for him is special.

So I came up with a Sketch for the Diamond Dog Villain... I just got done when I had this thought.

"Wait a minute now... I don't really have to stick to the canon of the show anymore, do I? ... I can take a breed of dog and mash it with the Diamond Dog!"

So while I could show you guys what I have if you want to be sticklers for ticklers, and I just realized we could had Spike use that joke with Ary... damn... Anyway, while I could, I also could make him by mashing Diamond Dog with a certain breed of dog. Make him that much better, ya know?

So should I or shouldn't I?

I guess just show what you have? I don't really care about special perks or species so long as the character is entertaining and engaging

>>27248659
Well see, I've been spending hours trying to make Princess Pthirus look menacing, but besides altering the face a bit, there isn't much besides clothing that can make her look villainous and that's kinda cheapo villainy there.

But this guy, I don't need to give him special perks, but depending on the species I could make him look more menacing. Just him looking scary and evil on his own, a face that even his mother couldn't love, a face of EEEEEEEEEEEEVIL~!

So that's why I'm asking.

>>27248691
Well, if you need it for the character, go for it.

>>27245348
We have regular evil because evil antagonists. We had Fawntaine/Antlers, Brahmos, and that one Camel slaver.

Then their story ended, and we kind of ignored them... because those characters are inherently uninteresting and you want to see less of them. It's just a flaw in the base idea. Evil to the core nasty people are people you don't want to see very much. You want to see them defeated and quickly, Our Heroes to be triumphant and knock them down, and then to forget they ever existed because you don't want to spend much time thinking about all the awful stuff they did.

We've had them, we've had multiple of them, but there's a reason you forgot about all of those. They're a bit... disposable

Well, combining what I originally had, with the breed that I though would be pretty cool and ironic... I give you my Diamond Dog Villain.

Guess the breed I used and you might get the chance to name him.

>>27248838
What freaking breed of dog did you use!? This thing looks like a fucking lion/bear/hellhound of some sort!

>>27248838

Would guess maybe a Newfoundland. Maybe a Chow Chow, though muzzle is pretty big for that. Maybe St. Bernard/Leonberger/Mastiff too.

>>27248838
Saint Bernard?

Can be a fierce dog, good choice for villainy.

>>27249053
Thanks, I thought so too, especially cause Tibet has had/still going with their own issues with slavery and I thought it would be a neat parallel.

I have my own villain idea, I'm just waiting for Bugpocalypse Umpteen to be over and for things to quiet down for a while before I start in with him.

Just content right now to sit back and think of the horrible non-lethal things he can do.

Dunking a pony's head in a mixture of a bunch of different infusions just to see what'll happen is a personal favorite.

>>27249241
Funnily enough, an idea of mine for Ms Nefarious was going to be kicking one of her many imprisoned 'Guine-Lings' into a vat of mutating spoodge and seeing what happens. It was not gonna be pretty.

~~~

It was getting worse.

It had been so long since Chitania had felt a pain like this, she had all but blocked out any thought of it from her mind. She had all but forgotten how heavy her limbs could feel, the sensation that seemed like swimming though molasses as she walked. She was running low on power, low on strength, and it was only getting worse.

Her body was feeding on the very power that fueled it, the magic of Love, to try desperately to repair the damage, not understanding how it was scraping at the puddle of what the well of power had been before. With every step, every crack that tried to be repaired, it took more from her, and it would keep taking.

The Titan had long known the cost of pride. That holding on when all seemed lost to not appear weak had brought the end of many of her peers. It had always been on the other side she had seen it, but she understood it. When Titania fought long after she was well beaten, when a fellow Queen challenged an army they had no hope of defeating, pride had been their downfall. She understood that power, prestige and respect can all be reattained, but there is but one life to have, and when it was lost, it was done.

...Except for that one time, but that didn't count.

All the same, Chitania knew that sometimes, it was simply best to run, to recuperate, and come back when the odds were more in favor. She had been struck by surprise multiple times here, they had managed to get the brunt of their army on her without delay, and even now she could still feel the searing pain of that princess's desperate self destruction. It was in her best interest to be anywhere else, except for here.

She, as much as it stung her pride, had to admit that this one time, it was best to flee, and let them win.

There was only one problem...

She couldn't escape.

1/2

>>27251442

Everywhere she turned, they were on her. Everywhere she looked, they hunted her down. There were guards down below that kept an eye on her every movement and every location she could reach. That damned thing in the sky seemed able to track her movements with a careful precision. Even the Filly seemed two steps ahead whenever she tried to duck away, preemptively launching another of her seemingly endless array into her side any time she showed weakness.

If she were to shrink now, that missile would no longer contend with her size enhanced chitin. It would only take one shot, without the armor she held.

Again, she cursed her lacking magic. Any other could have teleported clear by now, but her inability and lack of talent proved to make such a thing impossible. Worse, with every passing step, the range she could potentially reached grew smaller, and smaller. At this rate, she would not be able to be clear of their sight, no matter where she went to. They would see her, and finish her with gusto.

Finally... she did not know if the would go after her daughter.

Sweet Note, she doubted even was a blip on their radar. Sunset could easily handle herself, she had before. But her child... all knew of what she felt for her, they all saw it first hoof when she openly made a fool of herself in the wake of that demon's attack. If she ran now, what would they do to her?

She did not wish to find out.

More and more, it seemed the only way this would end...

Was their victory.

>...That's what you get...

Another, massive strike landed solidly on her side, causing her to collapse a building with her mass as soon as she landed. Just as before, it became harder and harder to get back up.

>Fool me once, shame on them. Fool me twice... it's my own damn...

It hit her, as she began to run again. A thought, though dark... was not pushed aside.

>There is.. one way out of this...

The ground beneath her had never felt more tempting.

>At the very least... they'd regret it.

>Haymaker
"PJ"
~~~~

>WHY!?

"Why, you ask?"

The changeling smiled, grabbing yet another hoof full of explosive charges.

"Because it's cool."

>PJ, I swear to Faust-

"Sorry, Haymaker, gotta take my chance to shine. If they didn't think I was useful, they'd just ship me back to the Empire first chance they got. Lots of anti-changeling feelings are coming up, and I want to make sure I'm on the good side."

Thoughtfully, her hoof tapped her chin.

"Huh. If I fwooshed into a unicorn and started calling myself a pony, is that legal? Can I legally 'transition' to being something else? I mean, I'd look and feel like a real pony, even if my biology is different internally... there's a great debate to be had here-"

>PJ!

"Hm? Oh, right! Awesome time! Now, if you don't mind..."

Her claw-hook latched onto a building, and she was already saluting before he could run over to her.

"Time to be awesome! AWAYYYY-GAH!"

Her line was severed, and she came to a painful face first landing seconds later, scraping along the ground in her wake.

>...Damn, he's a good shot.

"Fuh uuh, bluey."

Elsewhere, clear to the castle, the white stallion smiled, and reloaded.

"Why not?"

"What's that matter?"

>Her weird bug not-dad will kill me!

"And this is my problem how?"

>The sun princess will ALSO kill me, and you'll be next to me, and the power of the sun has a blast radius.

"Yeah, but like...wait."

>What?

"That's my mom's ship."

>Huh, so it is.

"WE GOTTA GET OUTTA HERE!"

>Quick! Blow! Blow against the wind!

The two numbskulls commence to blowing at the air, desperate to redirect their balloon's course. Unfortunately they make contact with a rather large, rather unexpectedly hard cloudbank.

POP!

>...Oh-

>"SHIIIIIIIIIIITTT!!"

They plummet.

>Celestia
"???"
~~~~~

>It's working...

The joys of a much more massive size became apparent as she witnessed every crack and chip and bruise on the Titan's frame in stunning, full glory. Their relentless assault was working, it was succeeding where all else had failed, and little by little it was bringing her down.

>It's working!

She could see the Titan stumble, waver every now and again when a particularly strong blast would strike her. If this kept up, no amount of stubbornness would save her. It wouldn't be long now, and then she would fall.

>Finally... I can find out what caused this disaster.

She had long since wanted to bring the Titan to justice for the damage caused so very long ago. There was still some bitterness, even after all this time, that she felt when she thought of the pain her back and the fear she felt when she saw Shining Armor's adopted child in that massive grasp. She tried to push those feelings aside, but there were some things she simply could not overcome. That was one of them.

Even still, she was prepared and ready for when the changeling could hold her form no longer. When she at last slipped from the size to dwarf the buildings all around and was of a more manageable stature, her horn was already charged with a spell to whisk her away to be confined before the more trigger happy of their resistance could bring her to death's door. She would face justice, real justice, not the battle of a mob against a monster.

Even if the roaring thing wished to act like a beast, that did not mean she would stoop to such a level as to treat her like one. She would be captured, confined, and she would answer for her many crimes, at last.

Just as soon as she fell, her judgement would come.

"MAJESTY!"

1/2

>>27252026

Again, she found herself face to face with the temporary Captain of the Wonderbolts. The eager mare saluted her, an action she found rather unnecessary in such a time, and hardly missed a beat before pointing towards the massive creature.

"We've found her trajectory, she seems to be heading towards the edge of Canterlot. Everyone's already in the process of being cleared out, the Bolts should have all civilian to safety in no time at all, and with her current speed we'll have a clear shot at her long before she even reaches it."

>The edge, you say?

So caught up in her thoughts, she honestly hadn't noticed. But, true enough, the edge of the city was not far at all, and the titanic snout was pointed straight at it.

>So she is...

"She must be trying to flee, your highness, we literally have her on the run."

Something seemed off about this, to the princess. She was too focused, too square and straight. She was not simply heading for the edge, but instead seemed dead set on a very particular piece of the edge. The Titan's eyes, so massive as they were, showed not fear, nor desperation... but determination.

Something was wrong.

"Majesty?"

>...Get as many as you can along the entire perimeter of the city's edge cleared, now.

"We'll have everyone out in no time!"

She didn't question it, didn't even bother with a salute, only charged straight and determined to command her bolts. The Princess would have been impressed, if her mind were not locked so tightly elsewhere.

>She wouldn't...

This day had been filled with a great many surprises.

She could only pray this one would not be included.

>So… It's just you and me now?

“Probably yes, it was just me, but I guess you really can't be picky about these kind of things.”

>Hmm...

“...”

>...Phylliidae is probably still alive, you know, her and her entire Hive.

“If they are, you know what's probably happened to them, I wouldn't call that living.”

>Technically, she and her brood are the most successful Hive to ever exist.

“That is not successful. Yes, she and hers are completely hidden. Yes, she by some MIRACLE was able to figure out how to get unlimited love from the plants and trees they tended. Yes they have their own place! BUT you know the draw back of their powers just as well as I do, It's a hollow victory at best.”

>Maybe you're right, potentially forgetting that you're a Changeling instead of some kind of plant does seem like something you really couldn't claim as a win…

My sides, so I take it that power allows them to transform into plants and trees, but have the chance of forgetting they're actually Changelings? Also, I hate to say it, but they might actually be a decent pair.

>>27252284
Er, that's kinda a plothole if true.

>Oh no! We're running out of hivemates, if only there was some place we could go get some more hive members... Oh! I know!

*Walks over to only bush who is literally glowing with love that she can see*
*MINDZOTZ to fix them thinking they're plants*
*NEW CHANGELINGS!*

Ta daaaaa~

>>27252331
You're over thinking it.

>>27252331
I did mention that they were completely hidden, and while I did say that they have unlimited love, I never said it was an amount large enough to make them glow, just enough to keep the sustained indefinitely.

>>27252342
That's the whole joke, though. There ARE more changelings, but they think they're plants, and they're hidden.

But... changelings have mindfuck powers, they could undo plantthink, and they can literally see love, so finding them is a snap.

That'd be like saying It's overthinking "A unicorn once got his hoof stuck and then died" if you ask "Wait why didn't he TK it off?"

>>27252359
They don't glow-glow, they just see the actual magical powers involved in love, if there's any there at all changelings can see it. They can literally see love, and this one would be the only one that's a plant.

Just stare at a forest and whoop, there it is! It's the only love perfectly still in a sea of no emotions.

>>27252364
Look, the point is, by over thinking it, you've created the plothole yourself. I didn't, you did. Now that its on the table, you can't take it back. You've just opened a door for them, one that can be handled by Ms Nefarious, but you opened that door.

>>27252228
What? No I mean Watchdog and Sig, the two guys plummeting to the ground right now.

>>27252393
>Look, the point is, by over thinking it, you've created the plothole yourself. I

I... don't think that's how plotholes work?

>Now that its on the table, you can't take it back.

The plothole? Yeah, still there, I guess.

>You've just opened a door for them, one that can be handled by Ms Nefarious, but you opened that door.

What the fuck does that even mean? It was Chrysalis and Chitty in that story, so, you know, the plothole is THEY do not go out there and get more hivemates/Chitty gets one of her Queenbuddies back when the option is there and really easy, hypothetical evil-bug doesn't come into the equation at all.

>>27252342
>>27252331
>>27252364
>>27252391
>>27252393


Honestly, this guy is right, I just read the story and laughed, if you hadn't mentioned everything else I wouldn't have thought of that at all

>>27252428

I think he meant that, by bringing attention to it, you brought it into full view and now that it is it will have to be addresses and filled. And since you're the one that brought it you've opened up that up for development.

>>27252364
This is also ignoring that Chitty has a hive-locator ability, which let her find Chrysalis's hive from across Equestria. It's imprecise close up, but she'd be able to find the forest at least.

>>27252471
This, could have said it like that but I wasn't really thinking and more reacting.

It was Chrysalis and Chitty in that story, so, you know, the plothole is THEY do not go out there and get more hivemates/Chitty gets one of her Queenbuddies back when the option is there and really easy, hypothetical evil-bug doesn't come into the equation at all.

Hypothetical Evil-Bug would have snatched them up by now, and since it looks like she's experimenting on Changelings, then it would easily explain why they're not around for Chrysalis and Chitty to cherry pick.

>>27252471
...Or we just say it's a NC funny? According to >>27252446 it works if you don't think about it, and it's labeled CD for a reason I assumed. It's a CD attempt at retconning another Queen alive, we could just be like "That doesn't fit". That's the whole point of Canon DEBATABLE after all. You're supposed to talk about it.

That's literally what debate means.

Why the fuck he brought up Nefarious, I have no idea, that makes even less sense. That would mean that a character who we've never met has access to the same information as two characters who would have a vested interest in finding another Queen/Hive, but neither of them actually made a move for it and laughed it off because no reason, but hypothetical bug who we thus far have never met and no reason to think is invested would be the one to pick up the slack.

So, is there a debate here, or if it's just a "Don't think about it" slap a NC on the top and thinking is done.

>>27252497
>Hypothetical Evil-Bug would have snatched them up by now, and since it looks like she's experimenting on Changelings, then it would easily explain why they're not around for Chrysalis and Chitty to cherry pick.

Then they would have said "We think she's dead" or some measure of it, they would not have gone "Well, she's alive and totally hidden, but they think they're plants so hah!"

In fact, it's even a crazier big plothole because that would mean that Nefarious grabbed them while Momsie/Chrysalis was in a frantic state to pick up every changeling/Queen they could find, yet they still just assumed they were alive despite locating them being theoretically the easiest to find of everyone, period. They could see her the middle of a forest if they needed to. The whole point of that joke was that they were laughing that a Queen was alive but not able to actually do anything, but in reality if either thought of that Chitty would have looked for her on her world tour!

See, this is why you need nuance with retcons, this opens up a hell of a lot of questions if you actually think about it. Trying to use her with Nefarious would just mean we actually had to explain these massive character inconsistencies and plotholes.

>>27252522
>So, is there a debate here, or if it's just a "Don't think about it" slap a NC on the top and thinking is done.

I am in favor of that just to stop the debate over that, just say Non-Canon so we can laugh at it but not have to care about the inconsistencies.

>>27252629
Kay, that works.

Sit back and enjoy the silly thought of Smugbush.

>>27252522

>...Phylliidae is probably still alive, you know, her and her entire Hive.
>probably

Probably is not definitely, and it left off with the tone that that was that and no more should be said about it. Honestly all this crap could have been avoided if someone hadn't of over thought it and the other hadn't tried to cover this guys shit by throwing a probable excuse over it. This all spiraled out of a funny story that I'm not finding funny anymore. You guys literally sucked the fun out of it. Shame on you guys.

>>27252760
Stop writing characters I don't like being happy and I'll stop poking holes.

>>27252843
Well that just makes you an asshole then, we don't have to cater to you.

>>27252760
He put CD on the top. He literally said it was debateable.

You can't blame someone for overthinking it when he says at the top to debate if it should be canon. It's not even overthinking it, it's basic continuity. Sorry your enjoyment got sucked out of it, but if someone puts CD up there, you can't blame others for actually taking him up on it.

And that wasn't even remotely a probable excuse, it actually opened up bigger plotholes to the mix.

>>27252870
That's the shitposter, man, not the guy bringing up the plotholes and reasons it didn't work as a retcon. He's pretty easy to spot, come on.

>>27252897
You never know, he could be a intilligently belligerent asshole, He could have made an intelligent argument just so he could stick the Shitpost at the end. To fuck with us, ya know, that would just make him an advanced form of shitposter.

Awww, that's-

Wait a minute.

All fucking right! I know I forgot something concerning this >>27248838 before I went to bed, but I couldn't remember till this morning. The points for the DDV.

Pros~!:
1. New species of Villain, not another Ling baddie!

2. Enslaving Warlord! Really big issue and the
kind of Evil you just can't reform!

3. World Building~ We can build upon one of S-Anons many unused gifts, The Howling Pit!

4. We can have a 'common enemy' here, capable of putting Chitty on good ground finally, with a cause worthy of teaming up!

5. We can FINALLY into politics~! International politics! More World Building!

7. Fuck Six! We don't need Six!

8. (Optional) Diamond Dogs~! Cause some of us actually wish there had been more of them.

9. (Optional) Character Development, cause some of us want some sort of negative experience to make our Characters stronger!

Ah, you got it. Don't read too much into it though. It was just something I noticed, thought it was neat, and felt like referencing it in some way.

Cadence is pestilence because her association with bugs => disease
Pinkie is Famine because of her association with food.
DT is war because of TBDRLIATU
and Luna is Death because she's always trying to end the nightmares i.e. kill shadows.

I don't know about anyone else, but I've got plans for my own villain some time down the line. Hopefully we'll see it this thread or the next.

One more, because I felt like it.

>Sunset
"???"
'???'
~~~

>Well, that's not good.

It was all happening too fast.

They were doing too much damage, too quickly. They had her on all sides, completely surrounded, and she had no time to react or mount a counter offensive. Any one of them, Sunset knew the Titan could have crushed without a care, but all together they kept her distracted, and offset. The damage done so far had been too great, too fast.

She couldn't get away. They were going to win.

>No, they're not.

She still needed her.

>I'm going to have to-

"SUNSET SHIMMER!"

The voice she heard was one she recognized, even if she had only known them for a short time. Her memory was a sharp one, especially for those she had once called ally. This stallion, no matter how similar he seemed to the many others, was one she knew.

>Pavel, I'm a little busy-

"It's Pommel."

Mind like a steel vault, that's how she was.

>Oh no, how could I have messed that up? Well, I see I've offended you, so I'll be on my way-

"I have some questions, Sunset, about what happened back there in the restaurant."

Despite what her showcasing in her Highschool play's starring role may have said otherwise, even Sunset was not a strong enough actor to keep the annoyed frown off her face.

>Do you, or are you just looking for an excuse?

"I'm just trying to get answers."

>I'm sure you are, but what answers do you want to hear?

He let out a slow sigh, eyes frequently darting over to the sight of the battle beyond.

"We fought together once before, Sunset, work with me again, for old times sake. You know how dangerous she can be, we both do. Help me and the princess put an end to this before someone gets hurt, or worse. You were with her, talk to me."

Every single hair on her skin felt like it was ready to spring free at his words. Though she did not fully know why her body had reacted as such, one thing she did know was how little she liked this long forgotten sensation.

>Funny, I don't have anything to say.

1/7

>>27253734

"Sunset please, work with me. Time is a factor, I can't talk to you or debate you on this. If it were any other time, I'd just ask you stallion to mare, but this is all going down right now, and I need to know what she's doing!"

He pointed to the smoke and rubble, keeping track of every step of the black shape in the distance.

"This is more than just a bar brawl, and I know you know it! Something big is going on, something happened, and now she's about to pull something off, something bad. I heard what she did for you, everyone did, but you can't agree with this. This is serious, Sunset! I need to know what you saw, and what you know with her. Come on... you ran out screaming, you saw what happened, and you know something else is going to happen, so talk to me!"

>Sure. Would you like to hear my poetry? I've got some wonderful sonnets to sing. Or maybe we can discuss the pros and cons of mexicolt versus some good old Baltimare cuisine.

His teeth began to grit, and it was getting harder and harder to keep his tone level.

"Sunset... you don't want Canterlot to be wrecked, do you? I don't care what happened between you and the princesses, we both have to want the same thing here."

>Oh? So we both want you to fuck off? Sounds like a plan to me.

"...Who's side are you on, Sunset?"

He sighed as she took a defensive stance, narrowing her eyes in challenge to the stallion.

"If you want to go the hard way with this..."

She felt her whole body tense when he reached into his armor, and out came a shining brand new pair of hoofcuffs.

>Isn't that a bit extreme? I didn't participate in the little fight, go ahead and ask anyone. My hooves are clean.

"I did ask, and this has nothing to do with that. You are obstructing an ongoing investigation, and that's reason enough to take you in. Unless, of course, you feel like talking, then I suddenly have no reason to do anything, do I?"

She sneered back at his tone, her stance growing harder, yet more wild.

2/7

>>27253744

>You really think you can take me in?

Her powerful, strange magic sparked, and he felt his own rising as well.

"I've taken on bigger and badder than you. If it means saving Equestria and my home, I'll take you down. I need to know what happened, why she is like this, and more importantly what she's doing. More importantly... it might be in my best interest to keep you two far, far away from each other. This'll all be over soon enough, one way or another. I can't let you go, Sunset."

Sunset found herself glancing back, just in time for a bolt of lightning to rain from the sky, and make the Titan stumble.

>...Just try and stop me.

The two unicorns squared off, magic bleeding out into the streets.

"Sunset Shimmer, you are... wha-"

The glimmer in the corner of his eyes had taken him off guard. The flying little silver thing shimmering in the light had only made it as far as the side of his face in it's journey of arcing through the air.

Then it exploded.

"GAHHHHH!"

A strange foam substance covered his face, completely blinding him with a white mist that almost hissed as it left a burning sensation in his eyes.

>...what?

Sunset, surprisingly, was as taken off guard as the actual guard. Her confusion would have lasted longer, had the answer not gotten a running blow right into the side of the unicorn's face.

'SUNSET RUN!'

>S... Sweet Note?

'I said run!'

The earth pony struck again, and Pommel stumbled, barely left standing after the hit to the side of his head. The purse clutched tightly in her hooves packed far more punch than it should, leaving a painful mark on the side of his head.

'What are you still doing standing here!? Get over there!'

>...Oh! Right! Uh... thanks! Huh, guess she is useful...

Realization hit her in tandem with the soldier releasing a burst of magic, clearing the remains of the exploded pepper spray from his face and freeing his vision just in time to see Sunset run.

"Oh no you do not!"

3/7

>>27253757

The earth pony made another dive, only to find him ready this time. His magic ignited, grabbing hold of her foreleg and jerking them up, a magical sphere keeping her from striking him again with her weapon of choice.

He reached out, another magical spell aimed squarely at Sunset's fleeing legs.

"EEEEYOW! OW OW OW!"

It never found her, fading away when the earth pony drove down her hind hoof onto the very tip of his own, cracking the keratin and leaving splits of bleeding lines clear up into the skin barrier. So shocked, he dropped her, clutching his poor forehoof to his chest while still managing to duck under another swing.

"What are you doing!?"

Her response was action, her flail weapon swinging again and again at his head, never finding it's mark before a bolt of magic turned it from weapon, to rubble.

'Awww, I liked that bag-hey!'

His magic pinned her down, holding her to the ground and keeping her prone as the stallion found his footing once again.

"...Damn it."

In the brief scuffle, he had already lost sight of Sunset. No doubt, she would keep it that way.

"Damn it!"

He regained his composure, trotting over to the mare still struggling on the ground.

"...I remember you."

She remained silent, and not through any magic of his.

"You were in there too, that fight I mean, weren't you?"

Nothing came from her, save the sound of hooves scraping against the ground as she fought to be free.

"I was going to Sunset for some details, but you know what? This is just fine, maybe you'll be a little more reasonable."

The incredulous look said it all.

"Talk to me, tell me what happened, I'll listen to you. I'll hear your side of it. You and I both know that a lot of ponies named you as the one who snuck attack them from behind with a brick in a purse, and I just caught you red hoofed with the weapon. But things aren't always what they seem, so talk. I'll listen."

Her look, previously dismissive, turned outright hostile.

4/7

>>27253764

"I'm trying to help you here, I can get you off on most of the charges if you'll talk to me. Just tell me what happened with Chitania and what she's planning to do, I'll work out a deal."

It only grew worse with every word he spoke.

"Don't give me that, I know you used to be a... you know, so fine. I'll pay you for it, in addition to getting you a lighter sentence, if not cleared for most of this. I'll even look the other way for this misunderstanding we just had, it was an honest mistake, name your price for everything that happened in there, and I'll pay it."

She looked away, eyes still burning with anger, but his keen eyes noticed a waver in them that had not been there previously.

"If you're worried she'll come after you, we can protect you and keep you safe, if she's making you stay quiet. You can walk away from this with enough bits you never have to worry about being used, by her or anyone else, ever again. You can still get out of this. Just tell me what she's doing, and the lives you save will be well worth the price. You can do some real good here, help me out, and I'll help you out."

She shook again, and ever so slowly, she began to look back to him.

'I...'

He leaned in as she started whispering, her voice too low to hear even his short distance away. His ears flickered when she continued to whisper, and he could just barely hear the rest.

'...I ain't talkin' to no fuckin' guard!'

He had no time to react, either from the pain of her shout or what came next. Her teeth sank into his ear, the jolt of pain enough to cause his concentration to falter for just a second.

All the time she needed.

'Rules of the street you pasty fucker! You don't let anyone fuck with your crew, you didn't see nothin', and you don't talk to any fucking guard! We know who signs your paycheck, and we know those greedy fuckers would say anything to get what they want without giving you shit! Don't talk to them, don't trust them, and don't believe them!'

5/7

>>27253772

He fought back, relying entirely on his physical prowess to shove at the mare holding tight onto his side. When he did, he discovered something he never expected.

'And, most important, don't show them your hoof till you need to! That way, none of you fuckers know I can do... this!'

He felt all four of his hooves leave the ground, and his entire body go up into the air.

He did not stay up there for long.

'I knew how fightin' back was gonna end if Chitty wasn't there, you think I'm stupid? Don't matter who starts shit, always the rich ponies who get the last word! I knew fightin' back when they started shootin' was going to end only one way, and I knew savin' Sunset was only gonna end one way, and I don't give a fuck!'

The surprise didn't end yet. With one smooth motion, she leapt up, and slammed down every one of her four hooves as hard as she could on his leg.

'I knew I was going in, and I know your buddies are gonna be along to wrap me up soon! Don't matter, I was gonna get got one way or another one of these days, folk like me always end up that way. But...'

She swatted his horn when she saw light beginning to form before lifting him again, slamming him down hard on his back before he could even register what she was saying.

'At least every one of the fuckers in the clink are gonna know which bitch kicked your a-'

The crack could have been heard clear down the street.

Her words were left behind as she suddenly jerked forwards, only barely able to stay on her hooves. The ex-prostitute wobbled, right foreleg weirdly grasping as the air beside her, as if trying to catch something that wasn't there. Her breathing became ragged, slowing down as her eyes unfocused, and her movement became more jerky and erratic.

'... I tried this time...'

Shortly after the first trail of red rolled down from her mane, her eyes rolled back, she hit the ground, and there she stayed.

~...Oops.~

"DAW!"

Awwww

She's growing up into a big ol' Dindu

>>27253788

He panicked, scraping across the ground and ignoring the sheepish look on the other mare's face as he checked for any signs of breathing in the one who had attacked him. The feeling grew worse as she watched him, hooves nervously rubbing over the sword that had cast the magical attack.

~I'm sorry! I think I overdid it! I thought I set the fuckin' thing to stun!~

"You don't know what that things capable of yet! You could have blown her head off!"

~I said I was sorry, I panicked!~

He choked down any angry words, fully aware of what had caused her to be so brutal in her counterstrike, and already blaming himself.

"...Oh, thank Faust."

~She's still alive?~

He cut her off with a look, lifting the other mare up as gently as he could.

"Just... find me a Wonderbolt, anyone who can get her to a doctor, please. It didn't crack her skull, but... this looks bad."

Sadly, the pegasi nodded, already taking off into the air.

~I said I was sorry.~

"... I know you are."

His sincerity was all that let her fly again.

When she was gone, his magic tended to the wound on her head as best it could, keeping the bleeding from getting any worse. It was all he could do now, until someone came along to help, just keep it from getting worse.

"...I am too."

It would be the first time today.

>>27253797
>It didn't crack her skull, but... this looks bad."

Yeah I see where this is going

Another notch turning into another righteous cassus belli to be used someway somehow against them sometime in the future to propel some grand new conflict

...I totally forgot SN has crazy-hooker strength. That has literally never been brought up since her second story where she carried Chitty pretty easily, but I guess she's never gone physical either?

32 would've gotten his ass beat in if they had actually fought.

>>27253813
I'm going to put more money on this being a way to keep her from recharging Chitty so as not to leave a plothole of why she didn't go give some hooker love so Chitty could actually fight back and win.

>>27253813
Well if Sherlock Holmes there didn't keep insisting with every other sentence (without saying it) "Say Chitania did it" he might have got the right answer. Now he just has a hooker in custody.

>>27253862
That cage fight still needs to happen.

>>27253879
>Well if Sherlock Holmes there didn't keep insisting with every other sentence (without saying it) "Say Chitania did it" he might have got the right answer.

But he does think that, he has no reason to think otherwise. There is literally no evidence that Chitty didn't start it, and the fact that it was Rarity who went kamikaze would further point him in her direction, as he thinks(Or rather, knows), she knows nothing of combat magic. Then there's the fact she's headed for some place in a straight line to show she's got a bigger plan.

Literally every piece of evidence he currently has says Chitty has learned a new trick with Sunset and is doing something that's going to be really bad.

>>27253879
A hooker to interrogate and get the 'right' answers from.
Not questions like "who started it" or something helpful, more like
>why did she revive sunset
>what is she planning
pretty much Pommel's dialogue but less kind and more dungeon fun times.

>>27253862
>...I totally forgot SN has crazy-hooker strength. That has literally never been brought up since her second story where she carried Chitty pretty easily, but I guess she's never gone physical either?

That's what we in the business call a chekov's gun.

That said, Pom actually was right to arrest her, she fucking blew up pepper spray in his face and then hit him with a brick. Yadda yadda conspiracy and all that, but seriously, holy shit she does not play around.

>>27253862
>...I totally forgot SN has crazy-hooker strength
Does she?
I was under the impression that when Chitania isn't in Titan mode, she's shorter than Chrysalis.

https://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/17236861/#17352648

If you can carry Chrysalis, you can carry Chitania.

>>27254027
He is technically in the right to arrest SN regardless because hooker.

>>27254096
She's exactly one inch shorter than Chrysalis(because comedy), but she's also a ton heavier because she's bulky as fuck. She's got a fuckton more muscle and with it weight than Chrysalis does.

So, she picked up someone as tall as Celestia(Who is also shorter than Chrysalis, counting the horn), but also a ton heavier, with no problems.

Pommel has got to be positively featherlight by comparison.

So, completely arbitrary, but if I wanted to make a PAJ character in FO4, any thoughts on how to go about it?

Like I could make TBDRLITU if I could get a "Never-ending" Legendary Rocket Laucher, points in Heavy Weapons, etc. Or I could roll up Spike by just modding the crap out of a legendary revolver (Two-shot, Powerful, Penatrating, or Relentless?), maybe Potatoejack with an Assaultron Blade from the Automatron DLC.

Your thoughts?

Alright, here is a sketch done for Princess Pthirus.

Pros:

1. Its familiar, we'll be sticking close to what we've already done before, unlike the DDV where we will be diving head first into the unknown.

2. Unethical Genetic Experiments on her own kind, to build a mutant army, all in the hopes of revenge and ascension! and maybe world domination? This potentially gives us a way for us to write a modified ascension, for those who are interested in that for Two.

3. She'll be easy to write for, since we already have her mother as an example and all we really need to do is maker her as bad if not worse than her mother.

4. More Lings! More Changeling Powers! More Dead Queens! All for the use of mutant Lings!

5. More Uses for those 'Useless' Changeling Powers! We can get creative and so will she!

6. Fuck Seven!

8. Changeling Vs Changeling! Chrysalis and Chitania can team up with other interested parties to put this threat down! Opening up doors for 'reconciliation and forgiveness' and for the the Changeling Nation!

9. The amount of fucked up shit we could do with this Villain in particular is... pretty high up there. There is a LOT we can do. The ideas in my head are pretty intense.

>>27254310
You're gonna be extra mad when he has to publicly apologize to her and throw Daw in the dungeon.

I'm writing it now, also Snake Eyes rapes her. =3

Between 8 and 9. Actually, a lot of those are cons, it's all messed up.

Thats nice and all, but Im not sure if I can feel it mr. krabs.

It all feels kinda......empty?
Devoid of substance?
Artificial?
Inorganic?
Like, are we at the point that we have to start thinking up OC villains for out characters to defeat like some kind of pony version of Power Rangers monster of the week?
Or were we always like this and I just didnt notice?
Im genuinely confused and dont understand my feelings atm, might be lack of sleep getting to me.
Everything in the past seemed kinda fluid and evolved along the way, but this looks kinda dry and boring and its weird to because it shouldn't feel that way.
But it does.

Could you do something and try to sell it to me?
Ill read it in the morning with fresh mind.
I want to like it, but I just cant for some reason.

>Honestly I'm not feeling either idea, but I always just brush past the desperate "Evil for Evil's sake" stuff, so I'm not sure why I'm even commenting.

You're here for lulz and good feels, I understand that, but some of us need the Action, the Drama, the Horror and suspense. Some of us also want some really dark stuff, but the joy doesn't come from the dark stuff, its from watching them deal with it and getting rid of it at the end. This ride will have its ups and down and not everyone is gonna like a particular part, but we're all on this together and when its all said and done, we'll all still say it was one hell of a ride.

That being said, there are no cons ya scrub, everything put down are the points for something in all their evil and potentially point glory.

>>27254665
>When was this decided?

First time she shrank down, I guess? Says right there Shiny notices she's shorter than Chrysalis the first time we ever see her at her normal size, and then later when they met and she was small she noticed she was exactly one inch shorter.

They might be counting the horns, though, so the pic might be accurate.

>>27254671
I think it can work if we actually tie it in to the past or a central overarching theme that contrasts AJ or one of the others and their struggles, so maybe the DD one will work, but I agree this feels very much like a "We need Super Evil who is the evilest and you can't redeem them and they have no nice parts EVIL Villain" tacked on nothing. Even when those two were being pitched, that was their only thing to them that they were evil and nasty and did nasty things. No sense of theme, story, or meaningful connection to the grander series, all of that apparently comes second, and I don't like it.

All of our best villains came up from how they combat our heroes and what they mean to the protagonists first, everything else second. This feels like just making up "I wanna dark villain" first, that's it.

But hey, all about the story, isn't it? Maybe the stories he has for these are so good that it'll seem like it just fits.

>>27254665
It was decided in thread 16.

>Fucking accepted. That's a shot of deep cute injected into her angry persona.

I've been under the impression that she's been two inches shorter than Chrysalis the entire time because that was canon here.

>She was no longer the massive, unspeakably tall monster she had been. She was no bigger than Chrysalis, actually a bit shorter, in height at least.

and I still picture her shorter than Chrysalis now.

>>27254671
Yeah sorta this. I mean, do what you do, but I feel this series works well through spontaneous throw-and-go methods.

I can tell you why you feel this way. It's cause someone didn't write it in and we just went along with it like we always do.

These both feel artificial cause they're being pre-made, out of the story. We're deciding what kind of Villian we want next and we talked a bit about it. I asked if I should make a portrait and some points for each Villian, to give more clarity and to give people a face and some solid ground work if we decided to go that way. And we could end up picking neither or just using them way later. This is a learning experience as well as an experiment in how we can do things.

Anyway, yeah that's why it feels this way. The others happened naturally, and these are being pre-made and screened for potential. If it doesn't work out, hey we learned, we won't do it again. It just means that we shouldn't mess with what works. But it could also lead to some better methods, even if it fails. And to answer your question, it's always been like that, its just never been as in your face as this.

>>27254746
I think the bigger issue is, our main heroes have already fought both of those. Actually? Worse than that, it was the side guys who fought the kindapping, enslaving, brutal, army commanding monster who also had a superweapon he got on the black market. We had the concept of the DD guy get beat by fucking Twenty Nine and the Side Guards.

Then we also had deformed monsters who were near impossible to kill and controlled by an unfeeling being who simply wanted to take over the world, bonus points, that one's spearhead was a changeling with ties to the characters past! Only difference was, Cordyceps was a lot scarier than her, due to the fact she'll just kill you/mutate you then you die. But Cordyceps? He takes you over completely, uses your body against your love ones, then takes them over, and it wasn't just going to take over the world, but he was an end of all things being. Oh, and the zombies are fucking unkillable too, so you can't even fight them. We made a way more intense and scary villain than her out of a mushroom.

And then there's the fact that the whole "Genetic mutants" thing is PD's schtick, and we already had them easily beat a bunch of them back in the 12 rescue arc. We even got Centitrain out of it, it's cool.

What can these guys do that's new, and don't say "They're brutal killers/torturers/monsters you can't redeem", Pommel already killed one of those, and now we just kinda occasionally make fun of a computer program.


We need something new here.

>>27254815
I see what you're saying, but that's why I'm feeling the DD villain. The only type of villain that AJ hasn't fought yet is a politically based one, one that could threaten war or whatever. Everyone else, she could lock up or whatever, it's a bit harder when your foe is the ruler of a sovereign nation.

>>27254809
>It's cause someone didn't write it in and we just went along with it like we always do.

I agree that might be it. We've had other villains we've thrown at the wall but didn't stick, or make an impact that really lasted, like Anters, but we always did it in story, and we had an idea of what they were. This is more concepts and designs, which is different than what we normally do. It's like, Chitty wasn't pitched to us as "Hey I wanna big changeling who can stomp shit and is Godzilla", she was written in a Momsie story and got a positive enough reception that when her writer said "I want to bring her into the fold" it was agreed.

That said, this might work. It's different, but doesn't mean it's not wrong, and stuff like the Apple Crazy arc was clearly planned out beforehand, so planning could work.

That said, I agree with >>27254815 that we might need to add some more concepts to this that aren't quite so based around how evil they are. This>>27254860 is a decent idea, since AJ never fought anyone like him before.

Well... I do have 'something' we could use... but all of you might not like it. It was never intended for the /pa/ universe. It's from a different, darker Equestria. But it might be just the thing we need and it will get AJ into something that she's been to stubborn to get into cause 'mah roots!'

Are you trying to suggest making a villain from the dreamworld?

I have some villains of my own I'm mentally hammering out on for LNPP, but I'd be willing to collaborate on a nightmare villain that's more tailor made specifically for /pa/

Schmoe, buddy, I love you to bits. You've made me feel love and sadness for Sciddy of all beings >>27254809 when I should feel nothing but disgust and horror. That being said, you like to mess with us, pulling at heart strings, to mess with our hearts and minds. You've also got ponies dealing with nightmare creatures and fighting for their lives in invasions from canine forces in that head of yours. That being said... I love ya to bits, but if that's what you have going on daily in that head of yours, that might be a bit too much for /pa/.

>>27254310
Some people in this thread are such babies about character development.

>>27255064
You say development, I say bastardization.

>>27255008
I wasn't really, I had something else in mind, but I'd be for this no problem. I have tons of general ideas in my head to bounce off you.

>>27255050
You might be right. The nightmare creatures are some of my more tame horrors, honestly, I've been toning them down since I started living here in the /pa/ threads. So, maybe its better if I didn't use some of the worser ones and just help LNPP Anon with this!

>>27255080
I fucking knew it, you're a waifu/character purist! I knew we had at least one of you here! Fucking grow up, or fuck off. We've differentiated so far from the show that we can have a little leeway in where we take OUR characters. They're ours now, not the show's.

>>27255129
The FUCK are you talking about? I'm for development but utterly flipping a character from being an honest cop wanting to do the right thing to some kind of Fascist Spanish Inquisition asshole just to make us feel bad for the fucking scrappy doo hooker?

Fuck off.

>>27255080
While I agree with that being OOC for him, and just all of the others in general to actually torture her, I'm going to point out that this hasn't actually happened yet, so the all caps lock from some guy's random speculation and fight seems a little... premature?

Like, why aren't we waiting till it's in story form to knock it down here, we've NC'd OOC stuff like that before, chill out until the unsubstantiated nightmare becomes a reality.

>>27255104
I feel better knowing that, you'll be working with LNPP Anon! So, just to ask, what were you planning on? Just so I can know what bullet we just dodged.

Remember this guy? I had something like this, but waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay worse, a lot worse. Honestly, I had the perfect in too. Mass magical pollution caused from all the Infusions, from using and the production of them. That's like a international issue now, right? AJ would have been forced to get into Magic. Would have been neat.

>>27255217
Nightmare creatures... or Magic-Hexxus Tim Curry. Welp, I'm conflicted now.

>>27255217
>Villain that I can read in Tim Curry's voice.
Fuck. Yeeeeees.

And somewhere that faggot who wanted a Red/Brahmos robo monster weeps, because he cannot live up to this kind of awesome.

Get good (at writing) scrub.

>>27255217
You know, I know we want a 'dark' villain and all, but with that backstory it would be funny if he flew around giving everyone spontaneous magical powers thanks to the infusions.

The princesses want to get rid of him because he's a terror on the environment, but the ponies love the benefits he gives too much to let him go.

>>27255479
So nice guy Discord?

>>27255479
I don't know why you did it, but you just turned a decent concept into a 'Gunclub' tier member. You fucking suck balls man, and should feel ashamed.

>>27255104
I'd actually push for something that's more smaller scale, personally.

I think it's better to make a villain where it's more suited for AJ to deal with it, so that an arc won't be bogged down by other characters.

How about something that draws from AJ's shadowbolt counterpart, Sugarcoat?
A creature that tells brutal truths and takes away hope by doing so, like the creature from Pandora's Box?

If given some time, I can probably draft up a few believable origin stories.

>>27255366
I FUCKING GET IT, MY IDEA SUCKS, SHUT UP ALREADY!

>>27255594
>Listening to the shitposter

Come on man, you're better than that.

...unless this is a dual personality thing, and you are your own enemy. QUICK! Look behind you, make sure you're not there!

>>27255605
>Dual Personality

The thing is, that was more or less going to be the guy's weakness. Brahmos was in control and would plot to gain power and undercut the heroes, but he'd have to wrestle with Red's urges to just destroy everything.

>>27255539
Well I wasn't going to use the full blown version of mine, that would be to much. Just personal nightmares, kinda latched on to ya. Like a parasite.

>>27253879
>That cage fight still needs to happen.

Now more than ever now that we know what she can do. That would be a battle of the ages.

>>27255921
Could he just like drain her?

>>27255957
*Couldn't

>>27255711
Hmmm....hmmmmm....
I had a random idea. I'm trying to draft up 3 random stories that could potentially lead to a villain introduction story. My mind is wandering pretty bad writing these, so it may not even end up being a nightmare creature.
Anyway, I don't know how quick you are, but could you try doing 3 rough sketches of potential villains. I post 3, you post 3, we could then try mixing and matching elements that are interesting from each other. Maybe I like a certain feature your creature has and try and write up a story based off it.

If not, I'll probably end up posting my 3 shorts and have you make your own suggestions that I can just try to run with.

>>27255921
Fight! Fight! Kiss! Kiss!

>>27256177
I could try, is there any sorta creature/monster/body theme? Is it gonna be pony like, eldritch creature, etc... Need something to work off of unless you want me to go as freaking random as possible

>>27256238
Random as possible. Let your mind completely wander. Pick a word and draw what you think a creature would look like based on that word. When I say rough sketch, I mean rough. We're in throwing stuff at the wall currently. Take the ones that are sticky, roll them up, and throw it again.

If you do need something to go off of, I say shadowy, depression, insanity, cancer growth, envy, Pick one of those words and make a creature scream it.

>inb4 you make one that actually scream those words.

>>27256350

Those words were not triggering much and i failed quite a bit, so I decided to use a word that triggers an emotional response within me and this is what I got. Some kind of parasite based around depression. I'm pretty sure you'll know why.

Ooh that is some haunting imagery despite its simplicity. I can imagine it gliding around in the shadows and then swooping down onto some ponies back and then latching on, sending that pone into a spiral of depression.

Also fuck you! That wound was healing damn it, this guy was right! >>27255050 Maybe you should keep whats in that brain of yours to yourself!

Damn it Steve... why did you have to swim with the fishes. Crocodiles were enough for us.

Wow, that was pretty fast and I had a good laugh. I'm imagining a weeping shroud now.

Creature #1
There once was a mare who didn't like hearing the truth.
To her, it reminded her of a reality that she wasn't willing to face.
One day she came upon a creature that told her what she wanted to hear and lied to her.
It told her she was pretty, when she wasn't.
It told her the stallion she admired loved her, when he didn't it.
It told her he was screaming in joy because they were together, when he wasn't.
To her, it didn't matter because she was never happier in her entire life.
It told her she could fly to his home in the sky...they couldn't.
But the creature was happy it made her happy.
So it searched for another to make happy.
After all, why would it want to tell the truth if it makes them happy?

Creature #2
There once was a mare who made an artifact to bring nightmares to reality.
Her goal was to create an army of nightmarish creatures and bring the land under her control.
She had a need for control and was willing to do whatever she can to make it happen.
She got what she wanted and brought her own nightmare into reality.
Unfortunately, her worst nightmare was about losing control.
Her nightmare brought to life the nightmares of others.
But it was her nightmare that was in control.

Creature #3
There once was a mare who didn't like to sleep.
When she slept she no longer felt like herself.
One day a voice told her she was a terrible pony.
When she woke up everypony was mad at her and she didn't know why.
They told her she was attacking them in their sleep.
Worried about her neighbors, she tied herself to her bed.
That night she dreamt she was caught in a fire.
The voice told her the neighbors were terrible ponies.
When she woke up her town was in ashes and she was the terrible pony.

Creature #4
There once was a mare who slapped babies.
She wasn't exactly evil, but she liked to slap babies for fun.
That mostly makes her an asshole and should burn for it.

>>27256557

Creature #1 isn't exactly evil... but its bad all the same.

Creature #2 ... Seems more like something that could have created 'The Nightmare' or some kind of cheap knock off of it. That would mean we could see a potential reappearance of 'The Nightmare' though, even if its just a pale imitation, that would be neat but I wouldn't want to Rehash it.

Creature #3... I swear I've seen this one before somewhere, but I can't re call. Interesting ideas.

>Creature #4
I chuckled.
