Insane is supposed to be mine. MINE! http://i.imgur.com/nKrHQ.jpg
Excerpt #4:
SpoilerAs she slept, she dreamed of the waking world.
Leaving the library under cover of night, out the window, away from Spike, away from her parents, away from Ponyville... Leaving before discovery, lest she be stopped at her weakest.
Flying...flying...how was she flying...she was a unicorn, she had no wings, and yet, the world was far below her hooves...Freedom, Freedom in so long, the air rushing past their body...
A moonless night, Luna's eye turned away from them...this moment carefully chosen by her, her former self could not know until it was time...
A new residence, the same cave she had heard in Momma's stories about Aunt Fluttershy and the dragon...It was a dank, miserable place, but it would have to do, from here, she would be able to observe while she was fully reborn into the world, and could take the steps necessary to ensure she was never alone...
A frantic search, watched from afar. Her family, her friends, most of all her three mothers, all of them desperately searching for their loved one, the one that they had raised from birth. Her Mom, weeping, being held tight by her Momma. It was a momentary pain, a pain to be endured. She had endured more, but the one she loved, the one who would ensure she was never alone, she suffered terribly at the sight, no matter what she said...
Hurting them, hurting them, this wasn't right...she wanted nothing more than to reach out, to hold them, but she wouldn't let her, not yet, not yet. Soon. Shhh...
Drinking from a puddle, seeing her reflection. Her purple pelt dark, her hair drifting in the non-existent winds. Two wings, comprised of a galaxy of miniature stars, extending from her back.
Her eyes were green.
Time. It was time. She was strong once more. The world would love her, she would force all of Equestria to, and in turn, she would love her, for the gift of Equestria.
Love. This was all about love. But love wasn't selfish. It wasn't supposed to be taking, it was about giving. She had watched...she had watched them still searching for her, all this time. She had hurt them, left *them* alone. No more.
She looked down at the world that would soon be theirs, and spread her wings.
And in the darkness, she gathered her strength, and let the love that she was given, and the love that she gave, start to burn bright...
Hey man, I was going insane before it was cool... http://i.imgur.com/BsGGR.jpg
Do I fit the requirements for being the token sane one? :smalltongue:
Watching the dynamics of these two is something else. I think you've successfully managed to give NMM characterization beyond "rawr, night forever, evil and all that". Congratulations, you've gotten me excited to read more.
And one more thing...
SpoilerIf you're doing what I think you're doing, and making a realistic origin for the previous RP's Midnight Mare, then I may just have to give you all the internets because you're pulling it off.
I'll be still insane after it isn't cool.
I found the post with the pony socks.
So these things are available in California. So why haven't we seen SiuiS and his (allegedly) sexy legs in one of those so far?Quote:
These are from Target in Culver City, California if you guys are interested in picking up your own, if you have really small feet.
Ironically, I did more catch-up after the mega-post day than during it...
Anyway, had to help a friend move, but I'm back now and can maybe post semi-regularly again.
There are things I wanted to reply to, but instead I'll just say you all rock and keep up the delightful insanity we've all come to know and love.
Oh, it's also come to my attention that I owe some posters my fanning and grape-dispensing services?
The funny thing is, is that the relationship really is a spawn of how things are going when I'm writing it. My intent surrounding their relationship when I wrote the first "excerpt" was going to be different, but when I started writing the second, and especially the third part, things just began to...click differently, flow in a different direction.
SpoilerYou're pretty on target. These excerpts were very much inspired by that goofy Midnight Mare RP, and the ideas surrounding Midnight Mare's goals. Think of this as a much more serious, and as you say 'realistic' version of that.
I accept rain checks for internets, just so everyone knows. You don't have to go raid Google and try to get past their army of ninja thugs. Though, if you want to try...:smallbiggrin:
Last part of my fan fic, Fillystata, is up... for those who may not be following me on dA.
I'm sure it could have been a lot better, but I'm happy enough to leave it as it is.
All this moon talk, I'm surprised nobody's ponyized the "I'm the moon" end of episode bits from The Mighty Boosh.
edit- Celestia is a smoker from Left4Dead
a challenge, writers.
1: Which pony episode is best suited to be Shakespearianized?
2: write it.
Honestly? Some of the best ideas I see happen mid-write. Being able to adapt to a piece as you're writing it is a good skill to have.
SpoilerI just fear for when the elements of the ponythread show up. :smalltongue:
But in all seriousness, if you're feeling inspired by this, write it. I don't pretend to know how these little excerpts will translate into a fic, or even if they should translate. There's something to be said for non-traditional stories (and Shades of Midnight has certainly shown that they work) but the execution is your decision, not mine. If you do end up expanding these, and you need a prereader, drop me a line. This is an idea I'm excited about, and those don't happen often.
I thought that was what every Lix ship did.
Nothing is, in fact, a subset of everything.
How do you drink water and spit take cherry coke? Is that a property of all liches? Could I (hypothetically, of course) kidnap you and use you as a convenient all-in-one entertainment system/air conditioner/cherry coke dispenser?
Why do you demand more Internets from me? WHY? http://i.imgur.com/DrMmg.jpg
(tl;dr I want moar. And also a new chapter for the Nightmare War, if you're still writing that.)
@tonberrian
A mobile cherry coke dispenser? Sounds like a handy equipment to have. :smalltongue:
