My Little Pony LIII: Stashing Ponythreads Around in Case of Ponymergency!

[One Tin Soldier]

Alright, I don't usually ask for a second review, but the concerns I got seemed to suggest the chapter wasn't entirely good as it was. So I've done my best to maybe fix things, and did some more editing than I usually do (though not a complete rewrite). I'd would love to hear if it's helped before I publish it.

II.4 - Dire Fates (updated draft)

I know the war thing might still feel like it comes out of nowhere a bit, but I hope maybe I've softened it slightly. There's not much more I can do and I think I'm fairly happy with it myself, but I'd like to hear if it's helped for others as well.

Excellent work. This did a lot to fix the problems I had with it. Eden's line in the beginning about the strife beneath the surface in particular. I also liked the epitaphs.
I was also assaulted with feels again, despite having read it before, so points for that, too.

Ok, making sure I have the idea of this image right:

Dash is covering her face because she's sick of the kid idolizing her. I guess. Maybe she doesn't want her friends seeing her with the kid. But Fluttershy? Is it supposed to be some meta-meta joke where Fluttershy is appalled that human Scootaloo is eating chicken? Considering: A. Fluttershy wouldn't normally be part of that joke as ponies, and B. they're human, so that idea doesn't really matter anyway. Maybe I'm just reading too much in to it.

It's really very simple.

Fluttershy loves animals. Depending on context, it may be that she just saw some PETA thing about fried chicken, or it may be that she thought Scoots would be "above" that sort of thing, or it may be that Scootaloo is expecting her to eat the same stuff, or a few other possibilities.

Oh wow, I just realized that Valcron made that DBZ Fusion comic a page or so back.

That makes the most sense. The ponies are known to be vegetarians, so naturally Fluttershy would be appalled at seeing any kind of animal being killed and turned into food.

But again, they're human, so it doesn't translate well.

I'd say that Dash could go either way. However, as a profound lover of nature, it's kinda obvious that Fluttershy wouldn't approve of eating animals. She's probably a vegan.

I dunno, I kinda get it immediately. Maybe it's just easier with an outside view.

i would think vegetarian, not vegan. she doesn't seem to think twice about AJ having cows or the various baked goods in the show.

Valcron (Dreatos is his DA name) is a fellow MMO-Champion brony. I have him watched as well, and I still didn't see this comic until I came here.

Either or, my point still stands. Wait, Applejack eats Cow? But she had cow friends! What the heck?

I don't see the problem with baked goods...

In other news, a random google search (on strict, even) gave me a horrible, tear inducing image... I think I need hugs...

And I think that meant Applejack owning cows, not eating cows.

Vegans don't eat or drink animal byproducts, like cheese, milk, honey, etc, and some ways to make bread and other baked goods involve animal byproducts.

Ah. .... I suppose that would make sense.

Still, even as a vegetarian animal lover, it seems legitimately legit.

Ironically enough, my youtube won't let me into that on the grounds of it being mature... still,

thanks.

I don't know why... I just don't like ****ed The Hell Up being mixed with Cute. There's time and places for ****ed The Hell Up, and there's time and places for Cute. But they really shouldn't ever meet...

the word "terror" is insufficient. a man chasing you with an axe is terrifying, that would threaten the very fabric of reality...

I don't understand why this is a you have been warned thing. There's nothing not safe for work about any of it, other than the fact that the material that started it exists, and you don't actually figure out what it is from the context of the comics.

- and that's how I rounded up all the cultists that are left.

Good, good. Now, Charnel is playing in her special fireproof enertainment room with some of Boffensparks ninjas san's brain tissue, and Silent is in a cheese-filled jug that used to be filled with milk a few days ago.

Anyway, did you scavange anything from the main base that was still intact?

It was too infested with those squidponies to go to deep, but I managed to get into the upper brood pits.

....Unholy crap, you mean...

Yep, I got one of those teliporting Rokatrainexis that was in the works. It was doing pretty well, too.

Where is it now?

Well, I was thinking on giving it to you for you to sic on Silent, but I just let in fly in the general direction of my Thubbi-wubb-

Huh?

It's in the direction of some acended Pink One cultist. We met him in Canterlot before it blew up.

Oh, the green one with the straightjacket?


Yeah, him. You ran off with Mister Shiny Scales so I decided to try something myself. He's distant, but I think I know him from somewhere.

Huh.

Sure. Betting it's a cow , the forest is running out of bears.

To be honest, I'm not entirely sure what Boffinspark blew up, and until I figure out what the Tartarus that...thing of his just did, he's not allowed near the airship's control panel.
OH COME ON!
The good news is that Equestria seems to still be there, so at least we know he didn't blow that up.
