My Little Pony LI: FE

Hmmm. You're like bleakbane, only more annoying. At least he's pleasant. I don't think anyone would mind where I to drown you in holy magic.

Oh come now, there's no need to be so melodramatic. As far as I am concerned his few attractive qualities are by far outnumbered by his many and oh so amusing inadequacies. And either way, I wouldn't dream of coming between the two of you.

Think of me merely as one of the many shadows cast by the radiance of your intertwined destinies.
After all, who am I to stand in the way of True Love?


Though when the day comes and you marry your Murderer, you will be so gracious enough as to invite me to the ceremony won't you?

....My main OC is a necrotic bodysnatcher who usualy preforms a crime against equinekind every other post, and this is the most horrific thing that has come out of Ponythread. Congrats, sir.

[Deadly]

Hard to say. It's a sort of general worry right now, nothing very specific, just you know, the fear that things will be ruined.

I suppose Tiki has it right, worrying is what I do, I can't help it when it's something I care about a lot

Actually, now that I reflect a little ...

S3 (In which I try to vent all my negativity in one place, all concentrated pessimism. I'm sure there'll be lots of cool stuff in the new season, so don't take this to mean I only predict doom and gloom, and maybe nothing of this will be as bad as I fear, but you never know )

Spoiler

I suppose I'm wary of Cadance and Shining Armor returning. I think this has pretty much been confirmed, and it's a major cause of concern for me, or even THE major concern. I was never very fond of either and seeing them again doesn't thrill me, to be frank.

I am also wary of the possibility of Discord showing up as anything other than a flashback. I don't know how likely this is, as far as I'm aware we only have a vague rumor based on something de Lancie said once, I think. But, you know ... we've had hints, so it's not impossible.

Trixie returning also is worth worrying a bit, because Trixie returning is a very Big Thing! I mean, on one hoof it's awesome that we get more of Trixie, I'm certainly eager for more Trixie, on the other hoof it could end up being terrible. Sure, Luna was also a huge thing and that went well, but that's no guarantee a second time will go just as well.

And then there's this possible new villain which ... I suppose we don't know a thing about him yet, but he worries me too. If he's another alicorn then I really don't think they can get away without explaining the whole alicorn thing, just shrugging it off again would be annoying. But on the other hoof I don't know if I want a canon explanation, because I have a fine explanation that I'm happy with and I don't want it ruined beyond fixing. But ... it's just not the kind of thing you can keep not explaining.

And then there's my constant worry about the seeming trend of diminishing the royal sisters. The crystal empire with Cadance and possibly some alicorn dude ... could do a lot of damage to Celestia and Luna, as characters. This is the sort of thing that changes the tone and feel of the setting, and already has to some extent.

[Thanqol]

Oh thank Celestia, you're off the puns. Now I can enter the thread.


Ever had a deathly fear removed? It's... hilarious.

I've spent the better part of this year having a fear build up inside me, worrying if someone was okay. One text message confirmed that they are. And even though they're the one who was a jerk in vanishing without contact for months and months (seriously, never do that to me. I hate wondering if internet friends are dead) I'm just laughing at myself. For being silly enough to get in a panic, for coming to terms with someone's death when they were doing fine - hell, that's not even close.

I think I'm laughing because laughter and death are so closely bound together. They're inseparable. Have you ever spoken to someone and been unsure if they were crying or laughing? It's like lurching over that vast abyss, putting your foot down and finding solid ground beneath. The fear and the absurdity of the fear.

So today I giggled at the ghostie. And just for today, just for one day, Pinkie Pie is best pony.

Just imagine, Fluttershy a carnivore.

Well, she does feed robins - which as we all know are nature's perfect death machines.

[SiuiS]

*portal opens next to the changeling, hammer fires out clobbering it*
OOOOK!

Ah. Bleakbane, sir. A filthy primate keeps trying to lock onto several signals at once, and appears to be assaulting your console with a mallet. Might want to tighten up security a touch.

On that note, I'll be going. You know, before toss the buggers out the airlock becomes policy.

Aww, see, now I have to write a fanfiction about this.

Sweet!

It's just what Deadly Does.

GOOD GRYPHONS WHAT THE HELL IS THAT
why is the darkness wearing a punch bowl ?!

Thank serendipity that my signature spell is magic missile...

None of that actually happens to be important though. You even bred your own line to take out of commission. Trying to circumvent spellbans, dripping on things and tricking Boffenspark into destroying property en masse are your only real evil traits.

Well, for various understandings of trickery. I'm pretty sure he would do it anyway.

[Welf]

Aww man, you had a Luna vs Celestia power discussion while I was not around? Not fair

Luna is most magical, most awesome, most bad-flank pony ever, this is Canon, because it is the One Truth! If they ever say or suggest otherwise in canon then obviously canon is Wrong, because I'm Right! I can not be wrong, because Luna can't not be most bad-flank, most magical, most awesome pony ever, it is not a possible state of any universe. The Multiverse does not allow for this possibility. It is a contradiction, a logical fallacy, because Luna IS bad-flank, the two are equal and one. Luna is the Chuck Norris of Equestria.

Exactly! Image dump, more prove edition:

Tremble, all ye peons of Ponythread, for I have returned!

So what'd I miss?

[Dark Elf Bard]

Update your tumblr and we'll tell you.

[Tvtyrant]

Yay, new ponythread with new ponythread smell!

I wonder what ponythreads smell like? Probably apples.

[MCerberus]

It smells like multilayer insanity smoothed and blended into ribbons of madness. With a sprinkling of Trixie on top.

[Tiki Snakes]

Lix Lorn professed her undying love for the Lich. Apparently she likes them tall, bipedal and murderous.
Uh, I'm not sure that's exactly what just happened, Ma'am.
Oh shush Joyreaper, it's called artistic licence and it's close enough to the truth to pass a casual inspection.

Oh, and I'm pretty sure that the cult and the pseudoscientist, along with their extended family have effectively destroyed the ruins of Canterlot. They seem to have blown up and set ablaze the smoking crater where it used to stand. And their monarch, Celestia, has celebrated this by reinstating the cheif pseudoscientist.
Have I missed anything important?

I'm pretty sure that a strong case could be made for the time we shipped Nightmare Moon and Gummy...

Or the time where we decided that ponies who die become trees, making Fluttershy's statement of liking the idea of being a tree even more morbid.

Edit: Oh yeah, and the Midnight cloning facility that SiuiS is using to harvest organs (Especially spare pancreases) and for players in his role playing games. (Ha! And you thought we all forgot!)

Indeed.

Lix Lorn professed her undying love for the Lich. Apparently she likes them tall, bipedal and murderous.

I professed that ages ago. And the first part is true. The second is irrelevant, and the third just comes with the package.
Tall, witty, and into wargames.

Actually I'm pretty sure I'm also one of the other main contenders for that, too.

Because, you know, the thing Thubby refers to as gummy?

Says the illithid who hangs out with a pony of madness.

Hey now, be fair. She's not a pony of madness, she just didn't come out of the Bio-Engineering Vats that I had stolen borrowed the use of from the AOTRS quite as planned.
Come to think of it, I'm not entirely sure they were even Bio-Engineering Vats. It's hard to tell sometimes.

Still, the whole process was a lot more successful than the previous efforts.

Oh, hey, speaking of that, I found a recording of the result of one of the previous attempts backed up somewhere. The video is pretty irreperably corrupted, but I managed to grab an uncorrupted frame.

It just kind of oozed/scurried away moments after this and dissapeared into the angle between floor and wall.

It doesn't matter whether Luna is more powerful than Celestia or vice versa. The true superpower in Equestria is clearly Derpy. Yeah the bubble cutie mark might look innocent... until you learn about cavitation

TL:DR - When a bubble pops it momentarily generates a region with temperatures of thousands of degrees and hundreds of atmospheres worth of pressure, capable of gradually eating away the hardest substances known to man or ponykind

[Aotrs Commander]

Just imagine, Fluttershy a carnivore.

They do eat eggs. (Muuuch baking.)

Pinkie has mentioned hog dogs before, and has mentioned they are vegetarian (which is subtly not the same thing as herbivorous).

We, well, I, at any rate have postulated that it is not outside the realms of possibility ponies were in the past (and are biologically) omnivorous, their current social predilections notwithstanding.

Okay, as *shudder* horrifiying as it is to even contemplate, given a forced choice between Lixie and a vampire, when, for example, the alternative of spontaneously changing half my own body mass into anti-matter is not available, even I am forced to admit that it's not even a hard choice to go with the former. Admittedly, that's like saying you'd rather be brutally decapitated than be fatally molested with a spiked club three sizes larger than your entire corporeal form, but even so.

On the other claw attack, it will be an unfun day in Equestria before it comes to that, since my being even distantly threatened by a forty-seventh-rate vampiric knock-off is utterly laughable.

Hmmm. You're like bleakbane, only more annoying. At least he's pleasant. I don't think anyone would mind where I to drown you in holy magic.

Hopereaver is tall, I'll grant you.

As long, that is, as you haven't been eating anything in the Onion Genus, have no religious paraphenalia upon you and don't have indoor plumbing. Oh, and I think you have to invite me in, first.
You're cute when you're dealing in poorly researched stereotypes, did anyone ever tell you that? Still, if they make you feel safe and powerful, who am I to disillusion you?

No.

Boffinspark, please explain what that thing is and why it was just sent to Canterlot before I kill you.

Errr, before I met my wife, I had been experimenting with ways to combat Silent Night's fire elemental allies, and that's what I came up with. A violent, uncontrollable water elemental monster the size of an Ursa Major, readily capable of slaughtering any known fire elemental entity. It turned out to be so dangerous I had to designate it a Class-V threat, and in the event of a Class-V threat containment breach, my ship automatically portals the offending monster to the site of my last major combat, which in this case is Canterlot. Actually, given what else is in Kappa-13, you may want to help subdue the intruders before they release anything else.
On the plus side, the water monster should have no problem neutralizing the local fire elementals. At least they didn't release Omega-66.
