>>28905521
It's weird. If this is been first, I probably would have praised it as a great moment. But because it came second I just wanna call rehash.

My reading habits have changed..

>>28905509
None of the 'new best pair' stuff is happening, as is the nature of OOCO. So yes, 30% of the stories are now Shiny/AJ one shots, but as of now, she has only really hung around Spike. Like I don't think Shiny has time to sleepwalk and spend mornings with Applejack with all this other shit going on. There is also the fact that Shiny/AJ/Celestia stuff has enough going on to have gone on for months....but the story has moved about three weeks since we started doing those.

>>28905538
>None of the 'new best pair' stuff is happening, as is the nature of OOCO

OOCO is Out of Chonological Order, not NC for NC. It means it happened in the past, during the chillout moments, but we never got a chance to write them.

AJ, Shiny and Celestia have hung out since Gala, which was over a year ago in story time.

>>28905561
That just makes the fact that they tend to ignore the other in the main timeline worse. But regardless she has 5 male friends two work for her and two of them are family. She don't get out much.

>>28905578
>That just makes the fact that they tend to ignore the other in the main timeline worse

Do they ignore each other in the main timeline? They mostly seem to just not be in the same place at the same time. Like, every time Shiny goes one place, AJ goes another, right?

Then when they are in the same place, they always, ALWAYS have multiple stories together.

>She don't get out much.

And now she can!

>>28905605
When they are in the same area they don't tend to talk in the timeline. And most of the first 100 threads he was guilty by association because she hated queen chigger and they only really talked when she was involved, which meant they were antagonistic. after that got patched they still don't really talk. Like link me to a string of stories where they are buddy buddy without a NC/OOCO attached.

>>28905661
I can't remember the thread, but Beach-Arc.

>>28905605
... Holy shit? When is the last time they were actually both together in the same place!

It had been newer than the beach thing, right?

>>28905705
..that is super weird, because she just had a mini with Cadence over diplomacy.

>>28905781
Even weirde that now they seem like best friends, but they haven't actually talked in a while.

Gonna have to fix that.

~~~

>...So do they not notice us?

"We are pretty far in the corner, this place doesn't seem like it was built for more than four ponies, we're like... back."

'Of course, far back and forgotten, like always!'

"We're the ignored ones."

>Even though we shouldn't be, we're super interesting!

"SUPER interesting, I'm the best party pony in the world, I proved that with a party competition and everything! Against Cheese Sandwich! CHEESE SANDWICH!"

'...Who?'

>He's a funny guy. I think. I met him, like, once.

'He sounds familiar.'

"He was my co-owner of Partyland!"

'Ohhhh yeahhh. I think... wait, no, I never looked into that.'

>Where is he now?

"Helping Daddy on the rock farm, I think?"

>You think?

"I haven't heard from him for like two months, it's weird."

'Oh. You think he's okay?'

"Why wouldn't he be? What could possibly happen to him on my farm?"

'...I have no answer to that.'

"Duh!"

>So is he helping you with Partyland Two?

"I just said I haven't talked to him in months, and I just came up with this a few weeks ago!"

>Oh... by the way, about-

"Nope.'

>But we can-

'Noooopppe."

>LET ME DO MY THING!

"NOPE!"

Specifically thread 120 4 total stories
>AJ inserts herself in the harem's breakfast and accidentally insults shiny's cooking
>Shiny confronts her about the whole Chrysalis getting her ass kicked thing
>AJ uses seaweed to distract him to get blown up
>Shiny bubbles AJ as revenge.
>>28905817
or ever really because before that was ono where they mostly fought then when AJ pleads to get Sunset off the hook. Then we have them mad at each other over Chrysalis for 30 threads. Two lines of dialogue in group scenes during Cordy and Partyland, then we go back to the point where Shiny had just stopped being a butt monkey and she congratulated him of surpassing her expectations of being a total fuckup

They are the best of friends, but have Bilge Rat's post Pommel level of screen time as their in the timeline development.

>>28905897
Huh. Wonder if the OOCO stories contributed to that, everybody was too worried they were going to get oversaturated.

>>28906011
I think a bigger factor is, you know... that whole fear that she was going to get absorbed.

>>28906059
This is going to sound funny now, but that's exactly why I never really put them together during any arc I had a part in. I was honestly afraid the Spike/AJ folks would think I was trying to start something with her and Shiny and get pissed. So instead I just did OOCO stuff. I just always assumed a AppleSpike shipper would make them do stuff in arcs and left them be.

Hilarious in hindsight.

“You broke into my house.”

>That don’t sound like me.

“Well, let’s just say you weren’t very you when it was happening.”

>Huh. What did Ah’ do?

“Well, let’s see. First you broke in my front door, then you smiled at me and said “Misses Nesbit wants to have a teeeeea party”. Then you threw me into my chair, very nicely made me some tea and biscuits, and then we had a long, and very intellectual chat about the current need for social reform and possible revolution on the end of the proletariat in order to enact real change in an ever growing and expanding Equestria. Then we kinda switched topics to immigration and finally about expanding into other territories, then you wondered how much a guillotine would cost, then we shifted topics again on and off and then finally you just kinda stopped for a solid minute or so and then asked me what just happened.”

>Huh.

“Yep. Pretty much what I thought.”

>…Ah’ve got questions.

“As do I! First and foremost, and you’ll excuse me for thinking this one is important, but why is the dress still there when all the other crazy stuff is gone?”

“You are.”

“…Trade reform.”

Is this going to become another one of my unintended memes? When shit goes right its the blessings of the TG, but when its wrong we blame HHT?

>>28906143
So question, the OoCO moments with AJ/Shiny, they already happened but in the past, right? Or can they happen during the timeskip seeing as nothing really major happened except bro-tier borderline lovey dicey moments?

>>28906655
Since they occasionally mention the baby, that would be the best course of action.

>>28906655
It would make more sense during the timeskip as most of their scenes together in the main timeline have them either at odds or not really close. While we have made this relationship blossom, it has been in a bubble and would come out of left field in terms of actual story. But as of right now it is jumping from begrudging respect at best to old friends. The work is done, but it doesn't fit with their interactions. We need to skip for it to work, fuck this started because he was getting kicked out of bed, we can retcon that to be the pregnant one doing the kicking.

As we all know, AJ's dick is the biggest out of the entire casts

She just knows how to hide it from plain sight

>>28906770
Every time she takes shots at 29 I have to remind myself that they (both sets of royals) will never see him as anything but his thread 1-7 self. 10-1 they'll more readily believe Trixie fixed Sombra than Prissling
>>28906813
Kinda hard to hide when she won't stop swinging it around.

>>28906827
I feel like if she just hung out with him for one hour, her mind would be blown.

She's never gonna because he's annoying as fuck, but still.

>>28906848
she about hit the roof when he said he was running for mayor in place of MM. I honestly think she has focused her old disdain for Chrysalis onto him.

Everyone, the best way to treat the OOCO tag is to just have it mean whenever in the established history, or in the near future. That being said, past stories will make sense since we know the general time they were happening, and near future stories make sense because of things we have planned but haven't yet implemented, like the baby.

Trying to regulate everything into the past screws up more OOCO stories than might be expected. OOCO means it can be anywhere in time, but realistically that should be limited to anywhere in the past and near future.

>>28906867
She needs to just hang around Zecora for a bit, that'd change her mind.

>>28906998
Judging by how well her friends have convinced her not to hate in the past....29 is going to need to have an arc strapped to her hip figuratively while her hoof is literally imprinted on his face.

>>28906993
So is that pro or against Shiny and AJ suddenly being besties?

>>28907039
It's pretty much what all has happened between them in OOCO will happen during the timeskip, and we'll continue on from there.

>>28907039
Its pro being besties later once we actually get into it in the main story, like a... Friendship Arc.

‘…So you do realize I’m not that kind of priest, right? I just marry ponies.’

>Yes, well, you’re the only one who we could get on such short notice.

“Or who hadn’t denounced their faith in a benevolent god. Lots of that, I’m noticing! Most think we’re a big cosmic joke now. Surprised you don’t!”

>Or her sister!

“Sister kicked her ass, yeah. Or the magic necklaces. Magic necklaces rock.”

Have I mentioned that many a series/stories rarely survive a time skip with the same level of quality, or survive period? This could be the unexpected end for us.

>>28907130
We literally have so much stuff that needs doing that the thought of an 'end' is laughable, and this isn't our first skip, either, we're just getting the birth out the way. I couldn't be concerned or worried if I tried.

>>28907130
We've done it already...a few times We don't timeskip years, we timeskip months. Basically to make up for the fact that days last realtime months we jump ahead a few when we get the chance. And We need those baby's day out jokes like mad...and one guy is trying not to be proven how much of an asshole he is for not letting us chaos Flurry out. But we will never go far enough for Flurry to be a viable character, because that would make the cmc adults and 2 a teen.

>>28906827
>10-1 they'll more readily believe Trixie fixed Sombra than Prissling

Trixie?

Twilight legit hates her.

>>28908685
Yeah, just like how a restaurant manager who has employees also has managers to control and answer said employees questions while they focus on other things.

>>28908850
It would be great though! Twilight either doesn't have the power, knowledge or inclination to bring back the nearly dead!

>>28909019
She didn't have the knowledge.

Specifically, the technique of one random ass Queen who knew how to shapeshift dirt into other shit. But since every Queen and their daughters liked Chitty because she kept saving their ass, she knew it.

>>28909180
Which she only didn't have access to because AJ remained hostile to Chitty even when they were on neutral ground. Once AJ knew she could make bargains with Chitty, she could have reached out for an option, especially since it was clear that Chitty had magic knowledge and powers nobody else had. But she remained an adversary, and all it did was double the number of enemies she had to face who were greater together than the sum of their parts.

Aj did it all.

>>28909386
So, the student has become the master...

Gnight thread

Any status update considering this AU! Applejack? I'm curious, and I also need a quick summary of her personality/purpose again. It's been awhile for me.

>>28908850
Season 6 isn't canon to us. So her apology in magic duel is the last show canon appearance Trixie has, which has them make up. And she never hated her, she was annoyed by her but realized she was just dash with a horn. Now Rarity, Dash, and AJ don't like her. But the point was 29 has less benefit of the doubt with the mane 6 than her

>>28910227
Twi doesn't dislike him though. He didn't annoy her like the others, mostly because he goes into a screaming fit around her.

>>28910021
Well, from what we've talked about, she's going to be cold efficiency personified. Having pretty much everything down pat, but missing that... Applecore, that our AJ has.

>>28910021
>>28910740

AJ: care for, nuture and respect what you are trying to grow. If a tree gets sick or bad, prune the bad branches and keep it healthy. Only a strong foundation can make everything grow. Family and traditional values are important. Everyone is equally important.

AUAJ: diversift, amplify, improve. Efficiency brings growth, growth brings progress. So what if I have to rip out an entire tree plus roots if it goes bad? If it threatens the orchard, it must go. One must change and adapt to survive in this new world. Those I care for will never find themselves lacking in anything... as long as they listen to what I say and stay in line.

I imagine in AU!AJ's world, Chrysalis is either dead or already making her own kingdom, her family is healthier and better off than ever but completely estranged from her, and the other Elements are more like co-rulers and tools than actual friends. Instead of a silly 'It's all your fault', Celestica is propably told to stay in the background and give advice, but otherwise leave the ruling to those who aren't completely engrossed in their own problems.

Equestria thrives, Applejack rules. Alone.

>>28910814
Though I am unsure what would have happened to Pennydrop, Chitty and Sunset in that timeline. Could've gone either way.

Any crisis in the past likely had been resolved far more quickly and decidedly, but with "acceptable losses" happening, instar of the Disneyesque 'everyone is healthy, no one died' stuff we've got going.

>>28910831
Lastly, the relationship and status of the Empire I that timeline is something I have a hard time re-imagining.

>>28910843
Liability central, either cut it off or take it over completely

>>28910814
Yes. I like this, very much yes.

>>28910814
You know, I was really iffy about schmoe's idea at first, but I'm really looking forward to it now. I can't wait to see what the writers come up with.

>>28910831
Chitty is the only woman I have a hard time imagining. Because it's not like they didn't throw out everything they had at her in the first place.

>>28911577
Then again, with a different mindset and brighter clarity comes better plans and better ways to implement them, so it's possible. Probably would have lost a literal piece of herself in the process but still.

Ha ha! Holy shit they're broken.

>Sunset
"???"
'???'
~???~
(???)
~~

Bump bump.

Sunset felt something right there.

Something she had not felt in so long, she had forgotten it. Forgotten the sensation deep inside of her that had been all that had existed in her dreams for so very long.

Bump bump.

It had all happened so very fast.

She had opened her door with all the vigor and excitement in the world, the lightning charge that made the tips of her hooves tingle in a feeling she only ever felt when she was about to do something truly momentous. Behind that door had lied her future, somewhere tangled in the mess of wires and metal and magical runes was the key to their victory and their future, and so very much more.

She was happy, like she hadn't been in so very long that she had honestly forgotten what it was to be like that, when she had opened that door.

It had all changed when she saw what had been on the other side.

Bump bump.

Someone had cried something, she had heard it, but she hadn't understood it. Whatever had been spoken had been mere white noise to her as she watched what was unfolding in front of her.

Light, sound and so very much color was dancing in her vision, leaving burning remnants in her sight that she knew would take forever before the afterimage would leave. It burned to look ahead, yet she couldn't look away, her gaze locked straight ahead, straight into the source of it all.

Everything inside of her felt cold when she saw it, the prized jewel amidst the most technologically expensive and advanced machine Equestria had ever seen. She felt cold when she realized just what it was she was looking at, and the implications as yet more color and light flooded her vision.

She stated with wide, uncomprehending eyes. She could not understand it, she could not believe it, and she could not process it, all she could do was watch with all the vacant thoughts of an ant looking up to the sun, a tiny thing that could not comprehend the scope of what it could see.

Bump bump.

1/12

>>28912831

Before her was her prized jewel, the portal that had defined her life, the magical wonder that had sent her across time and space with the ease of walking through a doorway, more complicated and more magical than anything she had ever seen before, and it's power had been hers to wield on more than one occasion.

Now it was shaking, shining and bright, but in every way different from when it traversed her across the cosmos. It was violent, racking from side to side as if shaken by the hand of an angry god. The simple elegant swirls in it's center had been replaced by something else entirely, something that brought back those memories she had long since thought left behind, something that made her feel the cold damp of a floor on the side of her face even though she remained standing and upright. What she saw stole her breath away.

Just as it had taken her breath away so very long ago.

Chaos.

Bump bump.

She did not know how she could understand that what she saw was pure chaos within the swirl of the portals magic. She didn't know what it was specifically of the tyedye and plaid interlocking shapes within that instantly made her mind come to the irrefutable conclusion that what was going on could be only one thing, and that to think of anything else was ludicrous as the situation she found herself in.

The violent shaking grew worse, perfectly in tandem with the misfiring synapses within her brain that blew up like fireworks as it tried to put together all the implications of what this meant. With every new realization, more exploded, and with every nanosecond she experienced in it's cruel and painful entirety, more went wrong. The swirls, the power, all of it had collided into itself like an exploding star, and the power within reached it's peak.

The magic inside grew to be too much, and she knew it was too late.

Bump Bump.

2/12

>>28912842

She could not move, reality would not allow her. No matter what instincts within her screamed to flee to somewhere far beyond this place this land and even this world if need be, the simple constraints of time itself would not allow it. Everything was moving too fast, no matter how slow her brain had turned down the speed of the world to let her examine in excruciating detail every finite aspect of the chaos magic's affects, from the sparking of machinery she had worked so hard to procure and assemble to the shattering of the foundation of the room from shockwaves that made the air around it ripple with the power within.

All through this, she could not move. She was frozen, locked in time, and unable to act as it all came to it's peak.

Colors and lights filled her vision, as it had what seemed so very long ago, and it was too late.

It was all too late.

Bump bump.

In a flash, in a moment in time that finally acted as time should be, it was over. Her sight went from brilliant, unmatched color so bright it burned to pitch black darkness, a sharp pain seared into her chest and then it was over.

Everything was over.

She wanted to cry, though she knew it would not help her.

Experience had taught her that.

She wanted to scream at how unfair it all was, though she knew those cries would not be heard or heeded.

Experience had taught her that.

She wanted to beg, plead, do whatever it took to undo it, to make it so it was as it used to be, to go back and to forget it all ever happened and make it right somehow, though she knew she could not.

Experience had taught her that.

She fell, in more than just reality, when that darkness covered her, and idly she wondered if this time she wouldn't come back, if this was truly the end of her, as it likely should have been inside of that tower. She wondered if the chaos had finally finished what it had started, and ended her.

A part of her, no small part to her shame, hoped it did.

3/12

>>28912849

She knew she couldn't bare another moment as she had been, without feeling, without touch, without sensation. Without hope. She wouldn't last, not this time.

Some part of her hoped this time, it was over.

Another part wondered why it wasn't yet.

It came slowly as the sun peaking over the corner of the horizon in the morning, the realization lighting up bit by bit and letting her see it for what it was.

The first thought, one of pure instinct at the most basic level, is that she realized she could still move. The thought was nearly pushed aside and disregarded as the simple throes of death taking hold, but there was more yet to it.

She felt breath roll through her nostrils, again only to be nearly dismissed as the last gasp of air from lungs that no longer needed them, but there was more.

Eyes that felt dry, muscles that burned, all of this could have been disregarded and pushed aside, all of this could have been ignored, and nearly was.

Two things stopped that in its tracks, and did not let it take hold.

The first, most glaring, most important, and most obvious to her, was pain.

There was a pain in her chest, right above where her wound had been, where the scar of her previous fall remained. Directly above the spot where all had fallen apart in her life, there was a sharp pain. She could feel that burn, that ache, that sensation that had also been robbed of her along with everything else when her life had been stolen. It was still there.

It was not going away.

That's when the second realization struck, and illuminated her mind like that sun had finished it's ascent at last, and she now gazed straight into it's majesty.

Warm.

She felt warm.

She did not feel the cold as all that made her what she was left her, she did not feel the chill of the icy grip of the end take hold, she felt warm. The pain was still there, the sharp sting was still there, but the cold did not follow it, no matter how long she waited.

Bump bump, went her heart.

4/12

>>28912856

She waited for an answer for what felt an eternity, for the truth of her life or lack of it to finally fall to one way or the other. She waited and waited, so many questions burning, so many thoughts rattling in her head they passed by with the speed of light and mingled together into an incomprehensible mess as they collided, unable to split one word from the other.

At long last, a thousand years in her mind later, she saw the light.

"Are you alright?"

Figuratively, and very literally.

The massive wall of darkness she had mistaken for her end pulled away like a shroud, revealing the world back to her as if the door to the afterlife had swung back open and ushered her back through. It took some time before in the myriad rush of thoughts within her, she could piece together the barest thoughts of what this meant.

Even with the truth literally staring her in the face, gazing at her with wide, searching eyes, it took so very long to put it all together.

"I said, are you alright?... Sunset!"

She jolted, pushing back into the massive broad wall behind her, the solid power of chitin attached to the one who peered over her with the aide of a long and slender neck, looking down on her from a height much too tall even for the massive size of a changeling Queen.

At last, she put it all together, and found herself unable to move once more, staring with slightly parted lips at the gargantuan eyes darting up and down as it searched her.

It was here, as she tried to calm the rush of her thoughts, that she noticed something. Even though she was currently nestled within a protective wall of massive black chitin on all ends, something was amiss.

To her sides felt something far more fuzzy.

'Sugar Bean! You're hurt!'

The voice in her ear was so loud it left a painful ringing. Even so, she couldn't feel ire bubble up when soft and gently hooves began brushing along her chest.

~Are you alright?! Sunset! Speak to us!~

4/12

>>28912867

She realized shortly later that her other side had that same strange, warm fuzzy feeling, and more hooves joined the previous ones against her chest, sending out tiny jolts of pain with every touch.

It took her forever, and the aide of gravity pulling her head down, before she could finally look at the wound for herself.

There, between a white hoof and a yellow one, was a single spot of red. A circular puncture wound, she immediately thought, dripping with her life force straight down her chest.

The chill of death may not have come for her this time, but she certainly felt something cold within her when she looked at it.

'What happened!? What hit her?'

~I don't know, but it's not a deep wound, barely made it in it looks like.~

'Is she gonna be okay!?'

~I told you, it's barely there, we just need some bandages and-~

(HOLY FUCK!)

The ringing, screeching wail beside her was enough to snap her out of her thoughts and bring her forcibly back to reality, whether she liked it or not. Though she was happy to leave that horrible memory behind, she was far less happy by the shove that pushed the yellow pegasus to her side.

~Fizzle, calm down already, I just said it's not that bad-~

(Bullshit, look at that!)

Instantly, her head shot down again, looking over her new wound with all the careful examination of a doctor for any sign it was serious, anything that she might have missed that could still be repaired while she still lived, but found nothing. No matter how hard she looked, all she saw was a simple puncture wound.

'OH MY GOSH! CHITTY!'

Her head had never snapped up so fast in her life.

It was so quick, she swore she still saw the image of the ground down below when her head rocketed up too quickly for her sight to follow. When it finally focused, her jaw dropped.

~Okay, that one might be a little more serious.~

5/12

>>28912874

The wall that had been before her just a second ago, the slightly larger than it should be Titanic hoof of Chitania, looked a touch different than she remembered it.

Mostly due to the long and thin twisted metal shard that had pierced straight through it.

The jagged metal had entered one side and came out on the other end with a single, tiny little point. A tiny tip that suspiciously was the only part that had a dot of red on it, as opposed to her own freely flowing blood.

"Huh. Can't believe that actually managed to make it through me. Maybe I'm not back to normal yet."

The Titan was strangely nonchalant as she looked over the thing, examining it with a careful eye that seemed unbothered in the least by the fact she was looking at her own gored limb.

"Hrm... bone seems okay, and I'm not bleeding out, so it didn't cut an artery... I got lucky with this one."

~Are... are you okay?~

The Titan turned down her eyes, sparkling, cheerful, and full of smug mockery.

"Not at all, this hurts like fuck. It really hurts. It really, really, really hurts and it keeps hurting and wow, this hurts, this is painful. This is seriously painful. There's a damn metal chunk in my hoof and it is jagged and tearing and fuck, this hurts. Ow."

Or full of pain, it was hard to tell with her sometimes.

~We'll have to remove that.~

"Ow."

~But is that the only part? You look, uh... rough.~

His words undersold it, by quite a fair margin. She looked liked she had just been in the center of a massive magical explosion.

Mostly because she had done exactly that, she just looked the part for once in her life.

"Nothing else hurts this bad, so we're good."

'That's good? Ya' look like you just got ran over by a train on fire!'

"I might have, there was colors in there, I couldn't see anything."

7/12 sorry about that

>>28912881

It was a long arduous process, but eventually the changeling rose to her full height, now so large her horn poked into the cracked ceiling, and they were all freed and moved from under her.

Or rather, most of them did.

"...Sunset? Are you alright?"

She hadn't moved, hadn't looked away, hadn't even twitched. She just kept starting her blank stare at that hoof, and more specifically, focused in on the dot of red at the very tip.

The same thought just kept repeating over and over in her head, and would not leave her. It held her, as tightly as any chains, and she could not leave the broad black wall of chitin she clung to. Any shifting, any attempt to move away was pointless, she clung to it, and she would not leave.

'Sugar bean-'

When she jerked, the earth pony wisely retracted her hoof, and chose not to try to touch her again.

"...she is alright."

The statement was as vague as it was unhelpful, but the trio before the gruff changeling could do little more than accept it, every one of them unwilling to challenge her, especially after a time like this.

~You're sure you're alright?~

"I just told you, no. It hurts. It really fucking hurts."

Flash Sentry was many things. Among them, he thought he was pretty good at reading others when they were sarcastic or true.

He was reevaluating that.

'Wooo, thank goodness you were here, Chitty! We would've been toast! Look at this place!'

For once, she wasn't exaggerating. The lab that had once held all of their most precious of materials now lay in shambles. Broken so badly it had ripped out massive chunks from every room around it, and sometimes further beyond. Had she not made the wise choice to hide it away in the center of their building, it was very likely it would have ripped off every wall to its side and shown for the whole world to see. The devastation left nothing whole, nothing in tact, nothing.

>P-p-p...

Or at least, almost nothing.

'What, Sunny?'

8/12

>>28912890

She took some time before acknowledging it, every second spent carefully rehearsing in her mind what need be said, lest she stutter once again in such a shameful way. Even while pressed tightly against the changelings chest she tried to look strong, tried to rise back up and take command.

>P-p-p...

She failed.

~Sunset, calm down, you're alright-~

>P-PORTAL!

The others jumped when she forced it out, Flash himself nearly tumbling over backwards from the speed at which he pulled his hoof back to his chest.

>PORTALPORTALPORTAL!

They scrambled, cowed by her shrieks into action as they all raced towards the center of the room, already digging before they had stopped.

>PORTAL! PORTAL!

'We're looking!'

Her screams put the fear of Faust into them, the mixture of desperate, angry and demanding nearly making them break into a run in sheer fear, only the sharp look of the changeling Queen scaring away any such thoughts.

(Got it!)

Triumphantly, a pair of claws ripped it out from the rubble, his muscles fueled as much by fear as they were joy, and he held it up for all to see.

>...it's okay...

She felt like crying.

>...it's okay...

The portal was not pristine, it did not shine, it was dirty and full of dust.

There was not one crack, not one break, not one scratch on it.

Her portal was okay.

>It's okay.

She melted into the chest, the bones in her body no longer acting as they should and letting her fall with a wobble into a mountain that held her up with ease.

>It's okay.

She wanted to cry.

>...I'm okay...

She did cry.

She forgot, for once, the room she was in, what eyes looked down at her, what they thought or what they cared, and she cried.

She cried openly as she pressed a hoof to her chest, and she felt it.

Bump bump.

Her heart was still beating, as it should be.

The portal was okay.

She was okay.

Everything was okay.

(...Thanks for saving us.)

Even the dragon, who looked off to the side with a bitter shame.

9/12

>>28912901

(Could've just... saved those two, but you grabbed us too... thanks.)

The yellow pony joined his side, though he did not share that shameful look. He was all smiles, and all pride.

~Guess we owe you again.~

Above them all, the Titan looked down on those she had saved, very much like the gods she sought to destroy.

Not a benevolent god.

"My actions were not altruistic."

Her magic surrounded them, and forced them to look at her. Her gaze burned, and they melted like a candle.

"What. Did. You. Do."

(I didn't do it, I said! I'm telling you! We just walked in and it was freaking out!)

~He's telling the truth, we never touched anything!~

She began to squeeze with her magic, and their frantic denials became much harder to force out.

"Give me one reason I should believe you didn't almost just ruin-"

>Chaos.

One word, and everything stopped.

One word, and everyone stopped.

'What now?'

Everyone, save the pony who had been fearfully watching it all unfold.

'What'cha mean?'

"Chaos..."

The two were unceremoniously dropped, and without hesitation, the changeling brought out her most favored of vials. She clutched Sunset closer to her chest with her good hoof, and with her magic she held up the vial for all to see.

Inside, five pink and shining hairs lie, inert.

"...you're sure? He's not here, and there's no residue."

The changeling did not need to look. The subtle rubbing of a striped mane against her chest was all she needed.

"Very well... then my actions paid off. You two are very lucky she saw this."

They nodded as they helped one another up, dusting off the remains of the shattered lab.

~...you know, you could have just saved one of us alone, if you only wanted information.~

Nonchalantly, the changeling shrugged.

"I never said that's all I wanted."

With her words, the two fell silent once again, looking to each other with an unsure and confused gaze.

They could never read that changeling.

'What are we going to do now?'

10/12

>>28912908

There was a silence following her question, and no one, be they cyborg or dragon or changeling, had the answer.

>We rebuild it.

None, save the pony.

>We're going to put it back together, we're going to rebuild it... and we're going to keep on going.

The determined, strong sounding, commanding pony.

One who still had not let go.

>C-... clean this up... please. I have to go help...

Her eyes cut over to the changelings hoof, still dripping a steady stream of blood to the floor.

>We have to... I have to...

"They understand."

Her comforting words stopped her, finally let her breath between her gasps.

>...we're not going to let this stop us. We're going to keep going.

The changeling hissed against the warmth in her chest when she felt the magic spark on Sunset's horn, and watched with careful eyes as something else was pulled from the rubble.

A long, protected cylinder, reinforced so strongly even the blast that had rocked them all had not dented it. Within it, the green glow throbbed away, as powerful as it ever was.

>We're going to grow even bigger. This isn't the end, it's not even a roadblock. We're going... we're going straight up to them.

Her head, her heart, and her spirit all rose up as she looked up to the ceiling of the building. All of them, on nothing but instinct, joined her, and looked straight up.

>And we're going to make them regret failing to stop us.

11/12

>>28912914

All that needed said, had been said. But all that needed done had not been. There was still so much to do. At once, the pair of dragon and pegasus nodded, and got to work. Digging, tearing, ripping and shredding, they would fix this place in no time, they had a debt to pay off after all. All too soon, even Sweet Note joined them.

Content that they needed her no longer, the changeling grabbed hold of her two most precious items, the portal and the cylinder containing the orb, and turned to leave to treat her new wound, hobbling with one leg while the wounded one was cradled. When faced with the obstacle of a door she had just barely fit through in her regular size, she found only one answer in a larger form. Breaking through it like paper, and continuing down the hall.

All the while, still protected, Sunset would not let go.

>...thank you.

The whisper had been beneath most ears.

"You were lucky I was there."

Not hers.

>Y-yes...

That pain in her chest still stung, it still hurt where it had been stabbed.

>...I'm lucky..

But she was not cold.

>...and I'm alive.

And she had never been more warm in her life.

>Because...

They left behind rubble, destruction, so much work shattered and destroyed, so much effort lost, three lives who had nearly been snuffed short, and a trail of blood mingling that of changeling and pony. They left a lot behind.

But they carried with them each other, and their futures. The future they had planned in the orb of the most wicked of Queens...

And the portal, that none had noticed hummed away with magic, and glowed with a strange power.

>...You were there.

>>28912920
THE CONTINUATION

{Fluttershy}
>Sunset

{Dang, I sure did get a lot of character development these past few threads, I wonder what's next in store-}

>FUCK YOU FLUTTERSHYYYYYY!

{Wha-}

>CHANGELING NUKE!

Whelp. Guess that one guy got his update on you know who.

>>28912920
Told ya it was building to something

>>28912960
>>28912989
It begins!

>>28912920
You are making it super hard to imagine Sunny backstabbing her.

... And super worrying Chitty might be the one who picks power first and Sunset goes into next level despair mode.

>>28913047
Oh god...

>We did it, Chitania! Now we've got the power of Gods!

"We? I don't recall our deal saying anything about we."

>B-but

ZAP!

*Imperial March starts playing*

"Thank you, for being the only pony to actually be worth my time."

>>28912920
...is it just me, or is some strange force in our universe trying to kill Sunset really, really, REALLY hard?

Like, this can't be coincidence anymore.

We've had plenty of characters beaten, hurt and on the brink of defeat, but SOMETHING/ONE keeps trying to murderize that pony.

What, are time travellers going back and trying to prevent pony Hitler from happening?

>>28913047
>>28913076
Why must you think up such heartbreaking scenarios!

>>28913107
It's usually chaos too...

>>28913107
Yeah, but look at how far she's come, though, as a result of all that kicking and pushing.

>>28913107

She does not forgive.

Rap-anon here.

Long absence, right? Tell me about it, though I've kept up with my stories so there's that.

So while in the process of looking for a new mic, I dunno how or why, but my rap for 77 got crunched. Damn shame, 'cause that one was feeling really raw and personal, actually.

Good news, I still got 56's and Screwloose's. Annnnd the rap about our humble beginnings, so that's gravy. Just gotta wait on that new mic now....

Fuck. You. Liam.

>>28913183
Holy shit you're alive!
Welcome back!

>>28913183
Sad to hear about the 77 thing, but I'm glad you're back!

>>28913183
No hope whatsoever of getting the 77 thing back? I was really looking forward to that.

>>28913195
>>28913204
Thanks, manes.

>>28913239
I think I wrote the lyrics down as part of a back-up, somewhere round here, but the beat... that's gonna take a long ass time to find again because I was dumb and didn't log that too. But I'll try.

>>28912920
>Chitty is slowly replacing her mother figure

Wow that's gonna get fucked up later.
>>28913292
Fingers crossed.

>>28913301
>that's gonna get fucked up later.

At some point in the past, something inside Sunset snapped. She hasn't been the same since and it's a really slippery, steep downwards slide from here on out.

I'm mentally prepared for the worst.

>>28913183
Missed you bro, still remember you Chitania rap and love it.

>>28913183
Welcome back, enjoy your stay!

Liam had claimed two more victims since then...

>Jetset
“Raven”
~~~~

“…set….”

>Mmmrrgh…

“…Jetset….”

>Nnnngh….

“JETSET WAKE UP!”

He didn’t want to, oh Faust above, how he didn’t want to, but continuing to lie motionless on his side was clearly not going to get the mare standing over him to quit kicking him with her hoof.

>WHAT… do you want, sister?

“I- what do I- are you serious? Are you really serious right now? Jetset, what the fuck? You’ve been unconscious on the floor for half a day!”

>Have I…? Interesting. And tell me, how did you know where to find me?

She lifted her hoof, upon which sat a bracelet of sorts, a very technical one with a small screen.

Blearily, Jetset blinked up at it, the remembrance dawning slow over his thoroughly tenderized mind.

>Ah.

“It just took me for-fucking-EVER to get through Twilight’s security system, her lab is like a Faust-damned fortress!”

>Her lab...?

One ground-situated glance around did indeed let Jetset know he was in Twilight’s laboratory, what with all the flashing lights, whirrs of unknown machinery chugging, and that familiar glisten of beakers… and that he himself was partially hanging out of the entrance to the simulator, quite possibly tossed out upon fainting within.

>Half a day….

“Yes! Are you okay? Are you hungry? Can you wa-”

Raven happened to freeze mid-sentence, with her mouth agape and the usual lines of worry and aggravation marking her face.

Actually… a lot of things seemed to freeze, from the previously blinking computer screens to whatever green liquid was now flash-frozen in those swirly tubes.

And Jetset could move again.

1/3

>>28913375

He didn’t know how he had done it, what activation key he had unknowingly pressed within himself… all he knew was that he had simply wanted to walk, and that some gracious being beyond his understanding had now made that possible.

The fact that time itself had paused just for him to achieve his wish didn’t so much stun him the second time around, albeit the sudden bout of unnerving stillness would take some time to get used to, and he started the climb to his hooves, which was long and arduous, not at all like the flowing motion from earlier.

The seconds dragged into minutes with the stallion silently struggling, wincing and frowning as his Faust-given legs refused to work as they should, as they had all his life. His sister, nothing but a still portrait of herself, continued to stare, albeit blankly, glazed and unseeing. He didn’t wonder whether she could breathe in that state, whether the world outside of this room continued to spin normally, nor how long this sensation, this lapse in reality, would last, but-

>Shit!

-none of that really mattered when feeling left all four of his legs in one mocking swoop and he thudded to the polished linoleum.

Following his outburst, the laboratory came back to life with roaring sound, and his sister restarted like a debugged robot.

“-lk? I can- WHOA!”

Seeing his sister jump like that, he couldn’t help but grin, however haggard.

>Wh-what? Seen a ghost?

“How… how did you do that? You were just facing that way and now…”

She narrowed her eyes, acutely suspicious.

“What did you do, Jetset?”

>I… have no… earthly idea. I just know… that my everything… hurts like hell.

“Why? What’s going on, Jetset, what happened in there?”

2/3

>>28913384

Normally, he would have told her to mind her own business.

Normally, he would have replied that he was an agent and could take care of himself.

Normally, he would have rolled his eyes behind shades he no longer possessed.

>You know… you could stand to check in on your big brother more often, Raven.

…But this time he didn’t.

“W… what? You… really?”

Because, once again, consciousness was quickly fading, that darkness from before come to claim him for attempting to utilize what he did not comprehend nor possess the strength to wield.

>Yeah… it’d be nice….

So, he figured… fuck it.

“Okay, you’re scaring me. You haven’t wanted to hang out with me since- …Jetset? Jet, are you okay? Answer me, you idiot! H-hey… JETSET!”

Opening up was nice.

>I’m here, damn… just… just let me rest… for a decade or two....

And he had a lot more opening to do.

>>28913388
He's free!

FS needs better friend.

>>28913388
Can I just say that I am absolutely against everything in this story?

By now, Twilight's lab has become the McGuffin station any character and non-character can just walk into without any effort to pick up whatever the plot demands. You'd think after two break-in and with the amount of dangerous stuff in there, she'd really try harder to protect it.

Seriously, Celestia's secretary just walked in there and came out without a scratch. It's becoming the resident joke.

Also, Jersey can spend literal MINUTES in timestop? Like, without any physical training? All je had to do is lay down in a simulation chamber for a couple of days to get harassed by chrysalis, and he gets an insta-power upgrade to a level that is nary impossible to beat anymore.

I appreciate Raven making an appearance and Jersey having a role, but those two facts really really irk me. They just come on faaaar too strong.

>>28913741
We've grown jaded from years of abusing our antagonists. Any time anything was looking up for Chrysalis, she was smacked back down so hard something broke. For years. I think we just worry for karmic backlash.

Does she DESERVE to be happy? Someone seems to think that she doesn't.

>>28914339
>You'd think after two break-in and with the amount of dangerous stuff in there, she'd really try harder to protect it.

But... Celestia put him in there.

It's not like HE managed to break in, Celestia did it. With Spike too, both of them.

Also, not her lab, and more importantly not connected TO her lab, that was a plotpoint of both the 41/SP fight and also OnO, when Pennydrop couldn't get a hold of her info.

Finally, I think the author intended his timestop is a manifestation of his phase training, only he's doing it out of time, so he's been working on this since the Arm-Break.

I share you concerns about Timestop being ridiculously broken as a technique and probably needs some cavets, but I'll wait for judgement on that, I thought Chitty's Titanform was broken too and that's been fucked up like three times now.

>>28914363
>I think we just worry for karmic backlash.
I told all of you to be mindful and to at least try to be nice on occasion. Now we have this guillotine hanging I've us!

>>28914490
But that's just it, we do throw her a bone on occasion.

Then we beat her with it

>>28912920
God I hope Sunset grows from this.

Not just in being more trusting or more open or whatever, that would be nice and all, but I really want her to finally come to the realization of where her life went wrong wasn't that she got the rockshot, though that contributed to it, her life all fell apart because nobody else was there.

I just want her to realize her life is shit as it is because she keeps pushing people away from her when they just want to be there for her. Her life would have been so much different if she'd just had someone there when the experiment went wrong, or even told anybody what she was doing. She spent her whole life being alone and doing everything on her own, and it always came back to bite her. But this time, this one time in her life, she didn't push anyone away, didn't try to do it on her own, and when something went wrong someone was there for her, and she's not even close to the only one who would want this for her. Think about how much her life would have changed if she'd just let Aj be there when she looked into the dreamstone. Even if Aj hadn't saved her, just the fact she would have tried would have meant so much, the fact she wouldn't have been alone would have changed everything.

It went wrong again thanks to Discord, something she didn't plan, it wasn't her fault, and it wasn't something she could avoid, and yet again she nearly had a ventilation hole in her chest, but damn it, this time someone was there, and that made all the difference.

I just want her to realize Chitty didn't have to be the only one who could have done it.

>>28912890
>"I just told you, no. It hurts. It really fucking hurts."

...My little Titan can't be this cute.

>>28914645
Amen to that, I couldn't agree more.

It certainly shows what kind of strange relationship that group has. Sunset keeps them all in line, and they are visibly intimidated by her. Yet, when she's done and it seemed like she was hurt, they all jumped up in worry. Sure, Chitty reacted first, but you could really hear the worry the had that something might have happened to her.

She really isn't alone anymore. And maybe she will let other close to her eventually, despite being burned twice and testing most other either with disdain or distance.

>>28914645
I feel like this is kind of a redemption for Chitty too, in a way. She wanted more than anything to be there for her daughter, to grow with her and one day she was going to willingly give up everything for her, but she never got that because of a mistake she made, and it was because things had to go her way.

She's listening and understanding now, and not everthing has to go exactly how she demands it or thinks it has to be, because she's understanding she doesn't know everything now, and I think that's going to play a part in the future somehow.

>>28914859
>It certainly shows what kind of strange relationship that group has

No kidding. Everyone is clearly scared shitless of Chitania and at the very least weary of Sunset, but none of them really seem to dislike or distrust each other.

>>28910831
In this hypothetical AJ is hyper competent. So that would mean when Chrysalis and co are dropped on her lap, she takes a more active role. The Changelings are intermingled with at least Canterlot by the time the Gala comes around due in part to her treating every ling like she did 29 and just throwing them at a job and not taking the cantie pricks being pricks. Chrysalis is brought into the fold as a Canterlot Royal, as unlike our AJ, she recruits the java fueled Chrysalis to help do the work. She never gets the unlimited reservoir of love as she is never forced upon Shiny and 18 is pulled back before she develops feelings by a smarter Chrysalis that knows she can't win. So what does this mean, well for starters, she doesn't cofinde about Chitty to Shiny and Twilight isn't overly distrustful of her since she is working with them from basically the start. So no one goes and digs her out. Since Chitty never thaws, Pennydrop is still just a secretary for Fawntine. As for Sunset, she, having done nothing wrong yet and not having the tainted dream stone to investigate as AJ would have given her something to actually do. So she never dies and resents the princesses. Indirectly this means 88 stays dead, 32 has nothing to rebel against, and other butterfly effect things because our plot works like a set of dominoes

TL;DR a more competent AJ means Chitty stays on ice, Pennydrop stays a professional coffee maker, and Sunset doesn't die. Some shit still goes wrong, but these three don't turn bad

>>28914645
>she'd just let Aj be there
No one really wanted anything to do with her then and didn't want her researching shit. She got the dreamstone out originally because she was basically told by Twilight and Chrysalis "we don't trust you" and AJ "you're not worth my time".

>>28914519
That line of thinking is what made want to see Sunset and Chrysalis succeed even more

>>28915049
Still gonna do it. Bitches need put in their place.

>>28915379
>Indirectly this means 88 stays dead,
I followed until this one, but this one makes no sense. Even without the CE assistance thanks to 18 leading to the mining team unleashing Cordy, 88s situation never gets changed, she's still as alive in the main timelines

>>28915535
By dead, I meant, in the mines by Appaloosa infected with with Cordy with no real way to get out into the story and cured. Which with how it progresses...would have killed her.

>>28915379
>she takes a more active role

Now, see, you say that, but considering early-Chryaslis's problems, a more active role does not at all mean that she would A, help the changelings, or B, that Chrysalis wouldn't react violently to what she was doing. Chrysalis, early Chrysalis at least, had NO desire to be a Royal with Canterlot, she wanted nothing to do with them except for, you know, ruling over them. And her lings, through various reasons, were eternally and unshakably loyal to her. She let AJ go after a few when she was paranoid just to see what she would do, and when she got wind of them possibly leaving she literally locked down the whole Ballroom so hard she locked 56 out of it. Alterjack trying to be more direct in that manner would only fuel her paranoia, and this time, she has nobody like Shiny to pull her back when the crazy takes hold. She needed that grounding, caring attitude, and she only opened up to him because against everything she did he still let her in his house and treated her changelings and more importantly herself, nicely, being blunt and harsh would only drive her away, and without the fear Chitania's story put into her, she wouldn't be afraid of a fight.

I hate to say it, but while I'm 100 percent certain she would never kill any of them, it's pretty likely Alterjack just had them more imprisoned, and more permanently.

>>28915586
Yes, she was crazy paranoid. Which is why I pointed out that that alter ego, we invented, did away with, and slowly merged parts back into her. That was calm, collected, helpful, and aware enough that she would lose if she tried anything. That would have been the near permanent Chrysalis. And it would only take one afternoon to have them registered as equestrian citizens so that it wouldn't matter if she had objections. Also she didn't have the power source that is Shiny so she would be in a much lower tier.

>>28915640
She didn't try the coffee till later, though. Even then, she only didn't fight in Coffee mode because she realized she wasn't losing anything, coffee Chrysalis would be way more dangerous because A, it would only show up after some time in arguments with a much more determined, action prone Applejack who wasn't going to take her winging, paranoia or open declarations of "Go Fuck Yourself", and B, it would be a Chrysalis who realized she's about to lose all power, and now has nothing left to lose. Imagine Coffeelyis if she suddenly no longer had the idea in her head that yeah, she'd lose if she fought, but if she stays as she is Applejack isn't even going to try to force anything out of her. Instead she has the idea "Either I do this now, or my changelings get scattered to the four winds with a populace that hates them and Applejack is forcing on them, and clearly can't be there to defend them all."

It would be do or die, only now she's calm, collected and competent. Coffeelyis would be the worst thing Alterjack could be up against.

>>28915680
FINE, head on a pike then. point being is AJ would never let her get to the empire. Nor would she let the lings rot in the ballroom as a failure. But since you are also against her being good enough to actually get them out in the world, she gets a bigger dungeon built for them and they fade into obscurity and starve surrounded by ponies that hate them. Oh, and this means that 42 and 2 never get out either, since we don't have the forced fights to scare 42 away.

>>28915726
>FINE, head on a pike then

Again, I don't think she'd kill them. She just doesn't seem the genocide type, even as Alterjack.

>point being is AJ would never let her get to the empire

Agreed.

>But since you are also against her being good enough to actually get them out in the world,

I think she'd want it, but there wouldn't be any way to pull it off as a blunt person. Weirdly? OUR Applejack would have been better for the task if she didn't have her show trait of being the most stubborn of the main six in forgiving and trusting someone, or looking for alternatives like with the bats.

>she gets a bigger dungeon built for them and they fade into obscurity and starve surrounded by ponies that hate them.

Starve is wrong, she wouldn't be that cruel and Twilight figured out Love-Harnesses one way or another, but yeah. She probably did end up locking them in a dungeon, and they're still hated, because this is the type of Applejack to rip up the tree roots and all if it will save the orchard, and not risk planting more seeds that might get rotten.

>Oh, and this means that 42 and 2 never get out either.

Also correct, only applied to all changelings. Nobody, from 29 to 55 to 12 gets out and explores the world, because Chrysalis back in the day was a villainous motherfucker and there ain't no power of love to save her this go round.

That said, I maintain Alterjack would try to fix them first, but when she hit the Chrysalis wall, she would react a lot stronger than our one did.

>>28915726
Which means the empire falls and has to be absorbed by Equestria proper because Shiny never got out of his depression and Cadence was still way too dumb.
>>28915754
>Again, I don't think she'd kill them. She just doesn't seem the genocide type, even as Alterjack.
hyperbole, but AJ would take her subjects out of her power whether she lets them go or not. That was our AJ's endgame with them, so this is gonna happen.
>Starve is wrong, she wouldn't be that cruel and Twilight figured out Love-Harnesses one way or another, but yeah.
they would be like 32 was, they had love harnesses at that point (which without Chrysalis' burnout Twilight wouldn't have been inspired to make them), but 29 still had to come and give him enough to get out of bed. They would starve out of the need to keep them there. Not cruelty, just don't want them strong enough to break out. You know, like POWs

>>28915803
>hyperbole, but AJ would take her subjects out of her power whether she lets them go or not. That was our AJ's endgame with them, so this is gonna happen.

She would try, but they would fight it thanks to Chrysalis's influence, and since this is more direct than just 'go get love', that uh... that wouldn't end well. She would take them, and that would make them very dangerous, especially if she grabbed someone like 42.

Best case scenario isn't that great here.

>>28915811
She wouldn't be above just having Discord and/or Fluttershy who would be still actively fucking with the changelings at this point to be a contingency.

>>28915811
No kidding, that would be a complete meltdown. She would literally tell them to fight until the very last breath, and make it a true battle for their wills. Considering the hold she has on them now despite all that they've seen, that would be a hell of a battle, and I doubt that any of the main guys would come out on top. She couldn't arrest them away from her influence in the main timeline with nicer means harder ones are just going to make them remember that they are changelings, and they fight.

>>28915811
>>28915835
>They fight
and they get thrown back in the dungeon to rot until they stop or again, leave them there and fuck trying to get those guys we hate to better themselves.

Goodnight thread.

Good night

Gooooooood moooorning, threeeead!

May I take a moment to say that if the portal is going to do what I think it'll do, it'll be reall, really bad given who is in control of it right now?

>>28917033
What's the portal in the first place? I feel I missed something. And what do you think it's going to do?

>>28917133
Sunset was trying to make a portal. According to what Flash and Fizzle said, while they stole the EQG portal from the Crystal Empire or her, she has several ones that operate, but none of them does exactly what she wants it to do. What that is remains to be seen. Apparently, the one from the Empire is so ancient and powerful it could do what she wants.

The last story told how bit was apparently affected by Chaos, lading to an explosion that left it functional, but also activated to a degree, likely connecting to another place, time or even alternate universe. Who knows where it leads or who might step through it?

I am leaving what I suspect will happen out so you make your own deductions.

>>28917033
On the positive side, it's very unlikely that she's ever seen Chitty, and Sunset isn't a bad guy to her.

“…Kept trying? Like, he asked a bunch of times.”

“All the time, really, it got super annoying.”

“And he taught Jugglejack! Which was bullshit, I can’t be worse than Jugglejack!”

“He literally cannot figure out to stuff condoms in his hooves. What a moron!”

“What a rube!”

“What a… shoot, probably should have started reading too, I’ve got nothing.”

>So yer’ sayin’ the reason a good ten of ya’ll can actually read words is.. he just kept asking. Didn’t do anything special, didn’t backflip over crap, didn’t beg ya’ and pass several laws to try to help ya’, just.. asked.

“…Guess so?”

>…Annnd, yoink.

“You have booze!?”

>Why do ya’ think mah’ hat is so tall?

“Share!”

>How’s about this, all of you can have a drink of whatever’s left in this bottle after Ah’ take one drink.

“Deal!’

“This is great!”

Glug…glug..

“She’ll stop any minute now, then we get booze!”

Glug…

“Any minute now.”

Glug.

“Any…”

Glug…

“…oh wow.”

Remember that piece of introspection AJ had on the train? About how the whole world seems to pass by and get ahead all without her? And how she vowed not to let precious chances slip by ever again? How she wouldn't be the only one left who doesn't change? Yes?

Excellent. Now let depression sink in.

>29, the most hated character on /pa/, has undergone more character development and accomplished improving the lot of others more than Applejack has since her ascension

Kill me now.

>>28918757
I think you're missing the bigger reveal here, and I don't even know if the Author noticed it either. This is massive.

Remember before she got on the train? Remember how she was walking through town, and she was trying to figure out how everything changed but she didn't? Remember how she couldn't figure out what was different, what they had done different, or what she hasn't done? remember how she never came to a conclusion on that, because that's when she spotted the other two at the train station? She never figured out what was different, she never figured out what they did, she just knew something was different, they had done something different, and she had to figure out what it was. But she never got a chance to.

I think it just hit her.

>>28918832
...did you think they were talking about 29, or is that just a general statement?

They obviously mean Acty.

>>28918832
>the most hated character on /pa/
In what context? You mean by us, or by the characters in the series?

>>28918757
I'm not following.

How is she letting that pass her by or not change? Sounds like she just learned something about herself. That there, what do you call it, character development.

I know, it's hard to spot next to it being in a comedy story for once instead of a drama, and nobody's actually suffering, but I think if you look close enough you'll notice it is there.

“How many bottles does she have under that hat!?”

“Too many, logically. Just… special relations is taking a big steaming load here.”

“Applejack, you’ve had enough!”

>YER’ The ones who’ve had enough, enough of bullshit, cause yer’ full of it!

“Go home, you’re drunk.”

>Yer’ drunk on stupid!

“…she’s not wrong.”

“HEY!”

>Ah’m gonna punch the stupid out of me!

POW!

“Oooo! That’s got to hurt.”

“Yeah, but we can’t-“

>Now, Ah’m gonna do it to you!”

“…wait what-“

POW!

“We deserve this.”

Yeah but not among us. We have several contenders for that title.

>>28919557
29 isn't really hated among us, though. He's so far to the side that even the OC-dislikers don't really care about him, and since his stories keep Zecora alive a lot of them give him a free pass, he's not OP and he's not shoved in anyone's stories, so he doesn't get the hate. He's pretty low on the hated totem, actually.

DT, Chrysalis, Sunset, Chitty and even Screwloose and Pommel are all higher up than him.

“Now that you mention it… that’s the dumbest thing I’ve ever heard!”

>Aw, come on.

“No, really, I’ve heard a lot of dumb things, but saying this place is empty in the middle of a crowded street? Takes the cake!”

>Bon please.

“Just scarfs it right up, that’s what you’re doing!”

“This is the cake, and this is you. Boy I sure am silly! NOM NOM NOM!”

Kinda funny he's so low on the rung when he's top 5 hated in series. Not to Chitty's level, but still.
