    Ponies not only make ME want to be a better person than I was before they entered my life, they make me want to HELP OTHERS be better people too.

    And that is a GOOD thing by any definition.

    Eh? I just said that the "Brushie Pinkie Pie" that's on the picture only has the Cutie Mark on one flank, only on one side. And that my fiancee is upset about that.

    Your picture was... Yeah... that...

    Agreed; This people gives me a slight case of the creeps, a little darkness, a little peril, grief and sadness are expected for good stories, but sometimes it's just a little too much, even not cupcakes level, but... a little disturbing nonetheless.

    Edit: On other news my Kickstarter packs arrived!! To Argentina!!

    Eh, I don't think it's warranted. Some people like ponies and grimdark and happen to think that those two flavours make a better flavour when put together. I (vehemently) disagree with the notion, but ultimately I'm not going to worry about or judge people for their tastes in fanfiction*.

    I agree with the web of plotlines and trying hard. But, I still found myself cheering when they continued to find friendship no matter where they despaired. They saved Nightmare Whisper by being her friend, they broke Discords power over so many with Friendship and then walked them through the healing process that was needed.

    Well, except for the Alternate World where Discord wins, that got dark very fast, still want to see the ending to that arc.

    And yes, this one does get dark, but it still strives for Friendship is Magic.

    That's actualy a plot point later. The changelings are slowly getting more efficiant in there mental attacks. It's basicly extending there hive mind into something else, rather then straight-up mental takeover.

    It looks wrong because it's not really braced itself. If anything, it looks like it has destablised itself. It looks unsure, like the first shot will send it tumbling backwards.

    Horses putting their weight against something look very different.

    Well yes, see, if you do the math;
    Now; games played? No. Games run? Yes
    If agree; games played? Yes. Games run? Yes

    It's a net gain for Everypony.

    I dot recall ever seeing a WoD corebook for old world of darkness though, which means there was no real unified rule set. You could be a vampire werewolf though, which was something even the black spiral dancers loathed conceptually. they did a terrible job of marrying the fluff across games in retrospect. Too many "correct" and provable cosmologies.

    The trouble with playing a game Of Mage though, is its not going to be the game you are used to, in rules or in feel. You'll have to specify oMage. On the bright side, I recall there being a general world of darkness thread in gaming that became a recruitment center. You could find people willing to play ok Mage, and even find someone else to be ST. So there is hope for you yet!

    First off, the POV chapters as they lose to Discord are interesting, but Fluttershy's was slightly terrifying, especially when you can hear it happen. Rainbow Dash's made me feel for her, no matter what she did, she was going to make a choice that Discord would punish.

    Then everything is fixed. Right?

    No. Discord touched so many ponies, broke so many of them that they all have to see psychiatrists to work through what happened, Lesson Zero happened because Twilight was still hurt by Discord and tried to ignore it.

    Applejack, dear Celestia, Applejack. She is summoned to Canterlot by both Luna and Celestia, and told to bring her sister along. She is offered a gaze into Truth, so that she may be able to use Honesty again. And the scenes she sees, alternate timelines, families, loss, hurt, love. All of them flashing through her mind as she shoves her hoof into the one thing that would stop her from looking. It takes Applebloom to stop her, and then things get better and worse for her from there.

    That cruel personality of Fluttershy? It still exists, she can hear it, it wants to control, it wants power, and it really doesn't want Fluttershy to sing that lullaby. Fluttercruel also hates soap in her mouth.

    I continued reading, enjoying everything, even the out of nowhere implication of Trixie, the confession of Rainbow Dash, and her near change into a Nightmare.

    Pinkie's change was amazing and I can't seem to think of much more with it, mostly because of the things I learned later. Oh god.

    And then I get to the one thing that might terrify me the most.

    Nightmare Whisper, the Kindest Lie.

    IMAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS ARC, AND IS VERY, VERY MUCH NIGHTMARE FUEL
    Spoiler
    Show




    Reading that entire arc was a trial, not because it was bad, but because of just how justified Nightmare sounded, and was, because of how far Rainbow Dash and Rarity were willing to go, because of how broken nearly everyone was...

    Because of how strong Princess Gaia, the Kindest Lie, had been in the end with Pinkie Pie.

    The story continues, more visions, another plot where you just know who it is driving it but can't think of what's going on.

    Celestia's origin, the implementation of the other Pony Worlds into this narrative and on just how twisted Discord truly is.

    MIMIC! OH GOD MIMIC! YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE AS A MORTAL PONY AND IT WAS GLORIOUS

    Things get weird again, a certain enemy enacts his plan and then the narrative changes again, to this.

    MORE NIGHTMARE FUEL FOR SOME, TAKE CARE

    Spoiler
    Show




    Everything destroyed, EVERYTHING. OH CELESTIA, WE'RE DOOMED.

    It was blowing my mind, the issues with the Elements, what the Elements used to be, how the Nightmares work, how everything tried to fit together, and on how Derpy Hooves is one of the most badass mothers out there.

    This story was a wild ride so far, and it isn't done yet.




    Has anyone else read it, what are your opinions?
    Huh. Need to read that. I'm afraid the writing is going to be terrible, but I'd not I might enjoy it.

    maybe YOU aren't. but then, we never see you interacting with other changelings, do we? it's always just you

    That's just the viewing angle, the gun's actually not anywhere near the head.

    Yeah, that!

    Also, it doesn't help, that the CAD image is "coloured" by being assigned a material; i.e. properties of a material. My usual standard is something that basically is based on plastic, which I just made Citidel-paint-colours of, because it's the clearest for visibility for working on. What that means is, since I still really have no clue as to how to fiddle with the light sources, that the perception of distance is a bit screwy due to lack of shadows and such. Aaand, *skullpalm* it just occured to me I haven't yet remembered to use the full render mode for the Jalyrkieon images I've been posting (because it's ungainly for actually working on, unlike the preview render mode which that is), which actually does generate the shadows better, and would certainly have helped!

    Aha.

    Yep. Screwed that totally, then.

    Was pretty sure I had done, mind, and I thought ponythread would be able to provide me with the relevant corrections.

    Have another stab at that another day; probably tomorrow, got to get a shift on, I want to put my next order in before I go away at the end of the month. Still, not much more to go, on the infantry anyway, as the Jalyrkieons are going to in squads for four (between firepower and blagging armour and endurance a bit, essentially four-Jalyrkeion squad in two fire-teams of two will equate to a humanid squard or seven or eight in 3-4 man fire teams. (I've already got two walking (one with a rocket launcher, huzzah!) and a slightly rearing one (nominally squad leader), so Heavy Weapons Dude is the last one to go.)



    Nice, Thanqol, you made it on to EQD again! Huzzah!

    First off, the POV chapters as they lose to Discord are interesting, but Fluttershy's was slightly terrifying, especially when you can hear it happen. Rainbow Dash's made me feel for her, no matter what she did, she was going to make a choice that Discord would punish.

    Then everything is fixed. Right?

    No. Discord touched so many ponies, broke so many of them that they all have to see psychiatrists to work through what happened, Lesson Zero happened because Twilight was still hurt by Discord and tried to ignore it.

    Applejack, dear Celestia, Applejack. She is summoned to Canterlot by both Luna and Celestia, and told to bring her sister along. She is offered a gaze into Truth, so that she may be able to use Honesty again. And the scenes she sees, alternate timelines, families, loss, hurt, love. All of them flashing through her mind as she shoves her hoof into the one thing that would stop her from looking. It takes Applebloom to stop her, and then things get better and worse for her from there.

    That cruel personality of Fluttershy? It still exists, she can hear it, it wants to control, it wants power, and it really doesn't want Fluttershy to sing that lullaby. Fluttercruel also hates soap in her mouth.

    I continued reading, enjoying everything, even the out of nowhere implication of Trixie, the confession of Rainbow Dash, and her near change into a Nightmare.

    Pinkie's change was amazing and I can't seem to think of much more with it, mostly because of the things I learned later. Oh god.

    And then I get to the one thing that might terrify me the most.

    Nightmare Whisper, the Kindest Lie.

    IMAGE CONTAINS SPOILERS IF YOU HAVE NOT READ THIS ARC, AND IS VERY, VERY MUCH NIGHTMARE FUEL
    Spoiler
    Show




    Reading that entire arc was a trial, not because it was bad, but because of just how justified Nightmare sounded, and was, because of how far Rainbow Dash and Rarity were willing to go, because of how broken nearly everyone was...

    Because of how strong Princess Gaia, the Kindest Lie, had been in the end with Pinkie Pie.

    The story continues, more visions, another plot where you just know who it is driving it but can't think of what's going on.

    Celestia's origin, the implementation of the other Pony Worlds into this narrative and on just how twisted Discord truly is.

    MIMIC! OH GOD MIMIC! YOU DID THE IMPOSSIBLE AS A MORTAL PONY AND IT WAS GLORIOUS

    Things get weird again, a certain enemy enacts his plan and then the narrative changes again, to this.

    MORE NIGHTMARE FUEL FOR SOME, TAKE CARE

    Spoiler
    Show




    Everything destroyed, EVERYTHING. OH CELESTIA, WE'RE DOOMED.

    It was blowing my mind, the issues with the Elements, what the Elements used to be, how the Nightmares work, how everything tried to fit together, and on how Derpy Hooves is one of the most badass mothers out there.

    This story was a wild ride so far, and it isn't done yet.




    Has anyone else read it, what are your opinions?

    read the deharmonizing ones through Applejack, but I was fairly annoyed at the writing style of the entries (like writing the accent...Blech). The Pinkie one kept making fourth wall breaking shout outs, and I finally gave up. The Rarity one was pretty good, and Rainbow Dash wasn't terrible, but the others were awful IMO. Interesting idea, but it was done better with the psychosis series (where all of them are being warped by their elements).

    Well, I'm not Thanquol, but it amuses me that DeiStar can dismiss the story like that while obviously not having read it (or he'd be too busy laughing to complain about it). Some people just don't want to have fun, do they?

    Yeah, dich this (all of it: the writings not getting better as it goes on) and pick up the psychosis series. Best origin story for Derpy ever.

    That's just the viewing angle, the gun's actually not anywhere near the head.
    Ahh, okay.

    Actualy, I have to ask: have you ever considered opening up a thread on this site to dump some of your creations in a place where there not lost forever in the sands of ponythread? Like, perhapes a little link in your profile or something?Just a suggestion. MEEP.

    I have to agree that the writing style could use some work, my main interest was the plot, the nature of becoming a Nightmare, the ability of choice, and the showing of Discord as someone who wants to have fun, but is definitely the most twisted thing there.

    And the fact Fluttershy washed out Fluttercruels mouth with soap while sharing the same body was kind of hilarious.

    Might have also been the fact that Discord's mind altering powers actually did have a lasting effect that needed to be taken care of by talking through it that got to me. It just never sat right that it was pretty much the Memory Spell fixed everything.

    Occasionally, I have pondered that, were there to be enough interest.

    The sequel is the discussion between Alicorn Twilight an the old and dying Applejack, right? It was solid, but I did like the original better.

    I'm loving your characterization of Bon Bon. She just works at Lyra's unwilling sidekick. Might explain why she's so abrasive sometimes. Was your idea for how magic works inspired by anything? Also?

    “How’s your house?” asked the cashier as Bon Bon hurried past him yet again.

    “Not dead yet, but it will be,” said Bon Bon.

    That's just a brilliant exchange.

    All that talk of Ponies & UFOs got me dreaming of it last night.

    It gave me quite a hard time getting up this morning as it felt more like I was watching a movie.

    which is rather cool as it was a rather awesome pony movie dream

    but rather uncool as I had the hardest time waking up from it
