BAD END

>>26067562
Awww, come on, her and AJ are finally getting along, and all it took was a massive Applepowered asskicking.

>>26067070
Thanks for the effort, mate. Damn job....

>>26067606
>It's the stupid comedy one we just made up to cool down after the intense Reveal/AJ's Apple arc.
...makes sense.

>>26067827
Oof, we needed a 'chill' arc after that one, bad. That was long and hype, sure, but turbulent. Someone almost aborted the thing and made the guy go NC for the rest of the arc because AJ was being too sad.

I wonder what he had planned and mapped out for the compromise...

>>26067524

LAST THREAD RECAP, SUMMER FUN IS SERIOUS BUSINESS EDITION!
>Applejack never had to do paperwork to update her status when she became a princess... yep...
>On the first stop, Spike gets everyone snacks... it goes really poorly.
>88 continues her wild journey, battling her old persona Canary Gem, and coming to the conclusion that because of what she did, her family never got any closure or a proper burial.
>So, in exchange for helping her, Canary wants her to go and get her body and tell them everything, and then pay them bits. Lots of bits.
>Things get weirder when she is sent back on the journey and learns that, of all things, changelings are awaiting her on her next stop!
>Only, when she meets facsimiles of 32 and 50, her old hivemate, she learns they're not quite the same.
>Mostly the fact they are very tiny is a red flag.
>the Main Six and Spike arrive at the destination Pinkie was bringing them to at last! Behold! A beach!... A great big, empty beach, with nothing on it but a tiny little shack.
>Before they can protest, Pinkie sends Centitrain away, and they have no way of knowing which way civilization was or where they are. But that's okay, because they have each other!
>They don't have their bags, or anything they brought, but they have each other!
>And the all have to sleep in the same room, because the shack only has one, with Pinkie on the top looking out for seawolves... which are a thing.
>A thing that attract seabears, which are a worse thing, apparently.
>So, they all have to sleep cuddled together on the ground with no sleeping bags.
>Spike is finding it very hard to keep it in...
>It's going to be a long trip.
>Back at the Empire, a crystal pony wants Chitty's autograph on her comic book, but laments that Chitania acts too much like Titania. Try to wrap your head around that one.
>Pommel and Sunset are not happy when they find out they got left behind.

>>26068158
>Having had enough of this, and 29's(perhaps justified) moping, 32 says they need to go on a trip of their own! Him, Pommel, Daw, 77, and 29, and of course their friends, to Puerto Burro, a tourist trap. Reluctantly, or not at all but disregarded in 29's case, they agree, and Daw heads off to Ponyille to invite Cheerliee and MM's crew!
>Meanwhile, the CE crew arrive at their place and find it's actually freaking amazing. A massive beachside villa filled with all sorts of amenities and cool things, even a theater. Without question, they all rush to go have fun with it.
>All except for one, Cadence. Who remains on the train, focused on her task of learning.
>Forty Two is tasked with getting her out, but rather than do the social situation, she instead opts to rip the room out of the train and carry it.
>Speaking of rooms, everyone picks theirs! Cadence is first, running into the office the Villa has and locking/barricading the door after literally slamming it in Shiny's face. Then Chrysalis picks a room, and Celestia, and Eighteen, and Forty Two, and Spitfire, and Two, leaving only one room for Shining and Sombra.
>Sombra reveals his hidden secret, mouthsand, and steals the last room.
>Looks like Shiny's sleeping on the floor this vacation...
>But no matter, because Two wants to see the fishies! By... flying over them.
>Celestia is forced to be the one to bring her back in, when Shining can't, because... yeah.
>When daylight comes for the Main Six, Pinkie has created a giant sandcastle, and wishes to have all know of her amazing land which she now controls.
>Needless to say, war is on, and the greatest battles for ponies begin, with many a waterballoon or squirtgun releated scuffle to follow in between naming problems.
>Back in Canterlot, Lingmare who looks like a dude has lost her cookies.
>A back and forth ensues with the Nightguard capatin, until she breaks down at last and grabs hold of her with magic.
>BUT! The NGC has brought backup!
2/4fourIthink

>>26068172
>BUT! The Ling knows she beat up most of them(and may have slept with one of their wives) anyway!
>BUT! Another changeling arrives and points out the first changeling is being stupid. He reasons with 56, pointing out if he goes to the castle he'll be arrested, and guard's can't have criminal records, so 56 decides to wait on his search for the common room, thanking Jetset and Harshwhinny and promising the NGC he'll return to this exact spot so it's not cheating.
>And the changeling... has herself a little cry.
>In Ponyville, Daw arrives to tell 29's friends and 77's fiance about the trip! And she totally knows about who those are despite never meeting them!... right?
>She does not. They didn't tell her. Whoops.
>However, it does not take long before she gets the information, and after a terrifying visit to the school she finds out MM and crew are already on a train heading to the CE! She chases their train down, and taps on the window... and then Trixie shoots her.
>Then when she comes back Zecora judo flips her
>Then MM just tosses icecream into her eyes.
>Then the whole mess gets cleared up and they all agree to go on a vacation... because that's how that works.
>Spike is about to go fishing with his gun, when up from the depths! Thirty stories tall! It's Nicezilla!... Who would rather Spike didn't shoot her babies.
>Spike, wisely, agrees, and she gives him a soycube.
>Do not ask how Nicezilla gets soycubes in the ocean.
>The changelings do not know why they are on a fucking beach...
>Sunset hangs out with chitania, it gets awkward
>Applejack cannot into magic.
>Cadence is really struggling with her studies, only managing two forms after several hours and a lot of inner turmoil, as she very much wants to go out and have fun...
>The CMC may have gotten into illegal pitfighting..
>Applejack discovers she has a candy bar, and with only pickled vegetables to eat besides... there are gunshots, let's just say.
3/4feelin'four!

>>26068185
>Chitania is not happy when she learns that she is banned from the library from Pommel, making it very clear if this is not lifted, she will have no reason not to attack.
>Pommel actually stands up to her, saying he's faced scarier, notably Brahmos.
>She laughs him off, but he points out the real reason why she's not going to attack, and it's because if she did, the CE would help in the fight. If they helped, then Chrysalis would want the Hive to help out her allies. If they helped, and Chitania killed a single changeling... 13 wouldn't forgive her and hate her forever.
>He says Brahmos wasn't scarier because of what he could do, but because unlike her, he would have done it already, and not cared. He's not worried, because when push comes to shove, she won't attack if it means 13 might hate her.
>Later, Pommel finds Sweet Note, and shockingly they both realize they come from Baltimare.
>Only difference is, SN comes from the... less sunny side. Pommel, on the other hoof, doesn't even believe her when she says how bad her place was, thinking that Baltimare didn't have anything anywhere near that bad, and no chance were the guard as bad as she says, he never saw anything like that, and it couldn't have had anything to do with him not going to those parts.
>Still, when he leaves, he has some doubts...
>FUZZY AND THE BUZZ RETURN!
>77, while preparing for the trip to Puerto Burro, stumbles across something very... odd in the train.
>Cheese sandwhich.
>He is there, he has been there the whole time, he keeps missing the stop to Canterlot...
>He decides to go along when he learns Pinkie isn't there.
>Meanwhile with the CE crew, weird things are happening in the villa...
>And with the Main Six, the battle comes to a close after a long day's work, and they decide to rest for the evening as the sun sets.
>Which is when the shack collapses from all the damage, of course, leaving them nowhere to sleep.
>They may have gone a bit too far.
>This is only the beginning...

>>26068200
BARELY made it, but as always, I might've skimmed something making that fit, so point it out if I did, otherwise how will I ever learn? I'm such a precocious scamp.

>>FUZZY AND THE BUZZ RETURN!

I'm not the only one still shocked that their writer is the same guy who did the EOH-Apple stuff, right? Guy went from radio gags to Dictator-but-good-intention-AJ

I guess temporary hiatus until the fun part is done?

>>26069680
Makes sense plenty of time for political intrigue later. For now, fun.

Thanks for covering and good choice on ending song.

I wonder if this thread will still be up for the 2 year anniversary, or if we'll have another one up by the end of the week..

-Let the records show that the giant intruder, her giant burning friend, and the mole were recovered without incident.-

~By which you mean you begged her to step up here next to me and she agreed after you told her your goons would stop hugging her legs if she did.~

-SILENCE! Now, Titan-!-

>Pfff...

-...-

>Continue.

-I don't know how you breached our inner sanctum, but you are now-like this traitor-at the mercy of...THE QUEEN'S CHRYSALIS!-

Dun dun duuuuuhhhhh!

>...does he-

~Have a band cued up play that every time he says that? Yeah, have to listen to that every damn day, I'm getting tinnitus.~

>He puts you on trial EVERY DAY!?

-Yes! His list of crimes grows with each offense!-

~I keep insulting him and he has to hold a trial every single time.~

"Judicial intrigue, this pleases me, but we have no time to lose, tiny bugs! We must go forth on our quest to-"

-SILEEEEENCE!-

"Okay."

-Now, you, mole! Who sent you!? Are you from the underground, are you a spy for the Underground, are you...A MOLE!?-

Dun dun duhhhhh!

>Oh wow, every day huh?

~Multiple times. So hey, when we share a cell at night, I'll be hear no evil, you'll be see no evil.~

>Problem there, I'm not laying around here for them to make a cell big enough. Hey loudmouth-

-INSOLENCE!-

>Canary Gem sent us, she's calling in the favor you owe her to help us go find my eyes in Morlock territory.

-...she expects us to expend valuable resources on your personal crusade!? Into that hell hole!? What does she take us for!?-

~Snobby morons who rigidly follow orders from before the Princess cocooned herself?~

-That's another trial you can look forward to, you worm! Hmm...-

'If ya wanna renege on the deal, sir, Birdie'd be happy to collapse that escape tunnel you commissioned.'

1/2

>>26070822

-No! NO NO NO! ...I can spare...three changelings of your choice! No more! The rest will be needed to deal with the hornets nest you kick up the second the Morlocks think we are invading!-

>Ok. First pick, this one.

~Me?~

-HIM!? Unacceptable, he must be made to stand trial until all of his grave crimes are answered for with the QUEEN'S JUSTICE! How can you expect me to- -

~I'll probably end up dying if I go.~

-AND IT IS WITH A HEAVY HEART THAT I SEND YOU ON YOUR WAY, FAREWELL BRAVE HERO! MWAHAHAHA!-

>...well that was easy.

"Shrewd negotiation, this pleases me."

>Now I just gotta flail blindly about until I choose two other guys.

~Strange giant changeling, if I may?~

>My name's 88.

~Lovely, I know a changeling who would be willing to join us. He holds a great many victories over the pale monsters' incursions. You may not have heard much of him bu-~

>Got an eyepatch? Bone knife? Seen some shit?

~Yes?~

>Yeah, no, we're getting him. Lead the way.

~Fantastic! Mr. Mole, may I ride upon your back?~

'Uhhh...sure, just don't tear out any fur.'

~Lovely! Off we go!~

>...so these Morlocks, they as tiny as you guys?

~Actually they're a bit bigger than you.~

>Ooooooof course they are.

>>26074782
Dude, I want you to imagine his situation for a second.

He's surrounded by hot, powerful, influential mares who all want his dick, and he can't have any of them.

She could feel.... something.

It wasn't like her normal earth, sand, yet it bore that same, deep, solid, assuring, hum like earth, but far more... detached? Seperated? Where "Earth" as she remembered it was as though many voices coalescing into one... sand was... rough... coarse... almost irritating voices getting everywhere and nowhere at once.

But there was something to be done to it, something to be made and fashioned from it. The world went sideways as she pressed her ear to the ground, shuffled a hoof or two a little deeper, just trying to make sense of it.

She felt something, it was hard to grasp or make sense of, and she found one thought colliding and fighting with another as she tried to think. There was some part of her she had neglected, she knew it was her magic, Twilight, Spike, Celestia, Seven and Chrysalis would be in much better straights if she had bothered to make sense of it, if she hadn't just shrugged it off like the stupid, stubborn, self-centered -

>Come onnnn...

She felt, probed with her magic, felt it stretch through her hooves, nestle and rise from her horn and flow through her. Her makeshift sandy ramparts gave her a modicum of privacy, these massive sandy constructions they built sparked something in her, some purpose...

There

1/2

>>26074972
It wasn't sand, and it wasn't the mingling solid earth that lay beneath it either, between the two, she felt something strikingly familiar respond to her "touch"

It felt light, yet it seemed to throb with a strength she remembered calling to her aid, her anger, not too long before. It felt pliable, and "sang" with purpose and a multitude, she realised she was feeling the kelp and seaweed that surrounded them.

She pondered what she could use this for, not armour, she didn't need that, didn't want to deal with everything that came with it either, too much hassle, no real rewa-

>No

That line of thinking couldn't stay any longer, she had a moment of respite, now she'd make use of it. She focused on the mass of seaweed, feeling it's pulse and flow, heard it's "voice". Learn from it, learn to understand it, control it, control herself. Her horn glowed just that bit brighter, her hooves thrummed just a tad more, her mind feeling the plant life below her more intensely-

"HEY APPLEJACK! CHECK OUT WHAT I CAN DO WITH MY TONG-"

>GAAAH!

The drake, either through luck or experience, deftly avoided the sporadic burst of magic that would've done.... things to him otherwise.

Unfortuneatly it required him dodging in such a way to land flat on his face quite comically.

"Ow"

>Aww geeze, Spike, y'all really shouldn't pop up on ponies like that

"Hmmph, I'll say, just what were you doing back here? Pinkie's going to show off that box of herbs she found in the shack, y'know, plaaaants?"

>Hmmph

"Oh don't give me that look"

>ENNNH! I was.... tryna figure something out by mahself

"Can I help?"

2/3 blyad

>>26074983
>Ah'.... it's t' do with mah magic, Spike, Ah' jess' need to actually put mah back into it this time, dunno how y'all could help... sorry

"...Oh"

Her hoof quickly propped up that sunken chin, a hoof that tingled a little, the more she thought briefly about it.

>Hey now don't take it like that! Come on, lesse what Ol' Granny Ponk left in store for us, an' Faust help me if it's more pickled veg!

"Woah!"

Red magic surrounded him, thunking him awfully hard onto AJ's back as the mare clambered over the rampart.

>Let's go!

"Yee-haw!"

AJ pranced out of her hidy hole, the magic couldn't wait, but she could think on the go just fine. Each hoof-fall feeling that little bit empowered as she trotted across the sand. She could definitely do something with that kelp, if that burst of magic hadn't already done something.

But now she had to see to these ""Herbs"" Spike was talking about

3/3

>>26074994
>Herbs
WHELP

Pinkie's gonna drug them in canon, gonna happen.

>>26075091
>Heh.... hey.... Spike....

"Ohhhhhhh. Aaaaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyyy,..... Jaaaaaaaaaaayyyyyyy, whaaaaaa...?"

>What if... like... I made... a sea monster appear.... like.... here..... yeah?

"Yeeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaah........"

>But.... yeah... it was actually.... a SEA monster.... yeah? Like... out of seaweed and shells.... and..... saaaaaaaaaaaand?

"Whuuuuuuuuuuu?"

>Hahahhhhhhhh, wouldn't that be.... like.... so fun?

"Yeeeeeeeeeeaaaaaaaaaahh...."

It really was great.

>Go long, honey!

Tossing a frisbee on golden sands, the wind in his hair, the sun on his face, this was all downright magical. The look of pure elation on little Two's face just plain made it all perfect.

"GOTS IT!

He didn't even consider it cheating when she flew after it and caught it with her nonetheless impressive albeit small fangs. She had her methods, they worked, that was all there was to it. Let her enjoy this time, however she wants to, who knows how many more days like this she will get.

>Good job, honey!

He almost was happy this had happened, that this had forced their hoof. He was almost glad that there had been distrust and unease, as weird as that sounded. He was almost ready to thank Rarity just for giving him this once in a lifetime opportunity of watching her slide on her belly across the sand before rolling back and tossing it his way.

He was almost perfectly content, almost.

There was just one little thing missing...

"Is Mom gonna come out to play yet?"

>...Not yet, honey! Give her a bit longer.

"Oh... okay!"

She'd come out, eventually, she could never stay away from the fun for long.

She would come out, he was sure.

Without any question... he was sure.

>This one's got some real power to it!

"AH'M GONNA GET IT!"

Until then...

He would just have to show her what she was missing.

>Go for it!

Downside to being lazy for so long.

>>26076910
It's sad, but it is something she brought on herself.

She literally cannot understand the basic duties she has been assigned to. She cannot do her job or be a good princess. So, in order to compensate and not be so far behind when she finally gets back, she has to give up some very valuable, very rare time with her family. She could have avoided this at any time, been welllll ahead of the game by now, but nope.

Reap what you sow.

Alright. Puerto Burrow crew consists of which members?

Also, last call to join them. I wanna write for he neglected third party commoners between Equestria and the Empire.

Haymaker can't go back because he associates with changelings, Quicksilver can't go back because he owes a LOT of money to a changeling, but Lucky and SG are clear.

>SA
"Celly"
~~

>...She's really something, isn't she?

Despite warning after warning after warning, there she was, in the shallow end of the beach, splashing around and having a ball, completely uncaring to the heart attack she was giving him.

Logically, he knew that there was little if any danger. She wasn't going very far, she wasn't taking any risks, and he was right there if something happened. Even if by some miracle a shark managed to swim in water small enough for a child to play in, it would sooner shatter every tooth than so much as scratch her chitin. She was safe, as safe as could be, and he was still worried she was going to disappear beneath the waves at any second.

Still, he couldn't bring himself to pull her away.

"Mmm, she truly is. Going to be quite a hoof full when she grows up."

>I don't even want to think about that.

"Time marches on all the same, I'm afraid."

>...How did you deal with it?

She got this look in her eye. One he couldn't remember seeing before on her, not even in all the time they've shared together. This strange, farway look that seemed to see something he could not see, or perhaps was not ready to see. Something that she, and only she, could witness.

"...It took some time. That is all. You'll understand someday."

Maybe one day, he would know what that look meant. Maybe. But for now, all that mattered was what was right in front of him.

>Think I'm going to be ready when it happens?

And all that it meant.

"...No, you won't. Not alone, at least."

>Hm... well, that's not really a problem, is it?

There was something he recognized. That smile, he had seen before.

"No, not ever again."

And hopefully would... for many, many years to come.

>...she's holding a sea snake, isn't she?

~SHINY LOOK!~

>WHADDYA MEAN HALF OF 'EM AIN'T YOUR SISTERS/COUSINS!?

>>26078780
...Wait, she's not actually related sister wise to any of the other changelings, period, and due to genetic diversity and how Queens reproduce if they were actually cousins it would be so far back it would be more than indistinguishable than two complete strangers.

"Sister' is a term of endearment in their species, remember, not an actual naming convention. As is "Cousin".

"Thank you, Shiny, I always liked the coasts, looked much prettier at dusk than most other places"

>Mhmm, romantic walks along the beach eh? Feels a lot different when you actually do it, not same as advertised

"Well, I suppose it certainly doesn't. Then again, we're not most ponies so there's that. Let's just have this time between us and savour it.

>Of course.

"And just look at the sunlight playing off the ocean, absolutely wondrous...

>Enh, doesn't beat the sun coming up over the snowy plains back home... provided you don't catch looking at it at the wrong angle, we get a lot of snow blindness admittancies in the hospitals I've noticed

"Oh dear"

>Free healthcare, no worry.... as long as we keep up the costs for the eyedrops.... the very expensive eyedropssss-

"Shiny? Bubblehorse? My lovely partner in crime? Please, let that go for now, we are trotting away from it"

>Right, right, my bad... wait, how long have we been trotting into the ocean? I think we've gone from knee deep to chest deep into the water in around five minutes.

"Ummm... now this may be my fault, but I only did it so that the currents wouldn't be so turbulent and not dash us against any rocks while we're down there... You have to understand I could can the moon but that doesn't mean I can always do it PERFECTLY now, Shiny

>So you're saying...?

[...Pinkie, don't you think this has gone to far?]
Cadence and DT sit on either side of AJ and are licking AJ like she's a popsicle.

>...Yeah. I'm sorry. I just wanted to include you in our club activities. Maybe even get you into the P-Team.

[Aw, that's okay sugarcube. Ah' appreciate you trying. Not everything can work out. Seeing you have fun with yer team makes me think I should probably do something with my A-team. Enjoy your night, Pinkie.]

>Alright, g'night.
AJ disappears.

"...whew I thought she'd never leave."

'Ptooy, you said it, If licking her wasn't going to work I didn't know what would.'

>Wait, you two were faking? When did the injection wear off?

'A good while back.'

"We were trying to make it uncomfortable enough to make Applejack leave."

>Aw why?

'Really? She kicked me off the A-team! I'm still mad! I don't want her in our club activities.'

>Okay your's is obvious, but Cadence?

Serious face.
"...she's not pink enough, Pinkie."

>B-but she's fun, I swear!

"I'd like to bar Applejack from the club on grounds that she's not pink enough for the Pink Pony Club. All in favor, say aye."

"'Aye'"

"All oppose, say neigh."

>Neigh!

'We have 2/3's majority.'

"Motion carries."

>This is my show and I'll decide that.

'Not exactly. We both talked with some people and worked out a deal with your producer.'
Gives Pinkie a piece of paper.

>...You two get an equal share of power on the show?!

"Only until the Dream Eater crisis is over. We're not going to protect your show for free, soooo we're your co-hosts now!"

'Surprise! And that's how you Ponk the Ponk.'

Not really considering it was Fuzzy and the Buzz that sparked the Canterlot and therefore Ponyville riots.

>>26076969
Except she won't. Because her buckling down and staying there the whole time is the BAD END for this arc. She'll be on 18's level (or at least better than Dash) before they leave somehow, but she'll also leave long enough for a paperwork monster to spawn. Because her goofing off and ignoring the work she promised to do is the Good end. As strongly hinted to with all of Cadence and Shiny's internal monolouging about it.

I learned something today.

>Cadence
~~~

>...Oh dear.

This one she didn't know. Simply put, had no idea.

She had absolutely zero idea what the steps were to re-writing a law with new legislature to adapt to a new time.

>Oh dear... oh dear...

She had brought many books with her, many many books, and no less than ten dealt with new laws, each one of them thick enough to leave a bruise on Chitania's face if she could find the strength to throw it. Who knows how long she would have to search through that, or if it was in there at all...

>Oh dear oh dear oh dear...

She could be searching for who knows how long, and not find anything.

Or... she supposed she could just go ask. One of them would know, surely. Eighteen or Shining or Auntie Celestia for certain, no question. She just needed to slip out for a second, just a moment, to go ask them, and then she could come right back. No matter what they said, she wouldn't stay out there, no matter how tempting it was to think of all the sun... and the fun... and so many things were waiting for her.

And she needed to know... what was the harm?

>...

She didn't even think about it.

Just moved everything not bolted down in front of that door, and slammed the first book in front of her.

She opened to the glossary, and then she got to work.

>You can do this, Cadence...

The long list before her seemed to grow.

She did not give up yet.

>You can do this...

"Yes?"

"You.... I don't know"

>Ya don't

"Yes?! I mean look at you you're doing it yourself, you should figure it out just fine!"

>.... Meaning?

"Meaning, you can't just walk into my lab, squiggling your feather-pen onto a parchment and ask me how writing works"

>But, y'see Ah'm doing these things...

"And?"

>...Ah' don't know what Ah'm doin'

"....Huh, that was kinda erudite of you"

With all the enthusiasm of someone lifting out a trashbag they were afraid was going to break, she picked him up.

"It's not so bad, lots of ponies didn't like Trixie after that whole Alicorn Amulet thing either. They got over it, eventually, just give them some time. They're not as smart as us, you've got to cut them some slack on getting it through their heads how great we are, okay?"

>...okay.

"Okay?"

>Okay...

"Okay."

"...If you ever tell anyone Trixie hugged you, you're getting zapped in your bed."

"HA!"

>Well, that escalated quickly. Don't ya think?

"Hmmm..."

Thoughtfully, the little white unicorn looked around, taking stock of all surrounding her.

Which is to say, an barrne warehouse, about six or so ponies in strong looking suits in a perfect circle around them, and an older, harsher looking pony standing right in front of them, tellingly cleaning a rather large looking sword.

Oh, and there were strange stains. Lots and lots and lots of very strange stains, everywhere.

"...Yep!"

'I didn't ask for this...'

[If this is about the stuff Vekir borrowed, she was going to give it back.]

~Grrrrrrr...~

Winona had not made a move yet, not yet.

But her blade hungered.

{You's girls have been a real thorn in the old hoof, get me?}

His own blade seemed to agree as he took a few, telling swings with it.

{Had a fuckload riding on that Cragodile in the last round, and all you needed to do was a simple little favor, just somethin' from associate to associate, and that's take a dive.}

>...Didn't ya' say Winona had ta' get eaten?

{Well... now you ain't gonna be so smart, are you?}

[YOU CANNOT HAVE VEKIR'S POINTY THING!]

"Come on, Vekky! It's for a good cause!"

(...yep!)

{GAHHHHHAGGHH!}

(He already said fine.)

"Cool! Scuse me! I've got some trading to do!"

Fun fact I noticed, nobody actually picked up on this one and the guy mentioned that in omakes.

Huh.

>>26085574

>>26085606
I distinctly remember it being in the pool, after rides, their first drowning together.
Celly on the bottom of the pool, ends with Shiny joining in after a bit of hesitation.

>>26085606
To add on, that "mercy kill" drown in the ride wasn't reciprocated till waaaaaay afterwards, I believe after some kind of big arc where stress relief between the two was a must. Ergo the secret pool bath thing Celestia built. But then they just resorted to hijacking various ponies bathrooms for their semi-irregular "sessions"

>>26085645
>I distinctly remember it being in the pool, after rides, their first drowning together.

I have looked through all the rest of PL, cannot find this. Closest that I can find is when 42 almost drowned.

And after much searching I cannot find story 1 with Celly drowning(she drowned alone first, Shiny didn't join in till waayyyyy later), but I can summerize that it is somewhere around theads 95-102.

"SA"
~~~

It was like something out of a dream.

The warm tickle against her hooves, the gorgeous view of calm seas, and the beautiful visage of the setting sun against those crystal clear waters all cascaded together against this sandy beach to deliver her sensations like she had never felt before. No trip to the beach, and she had been to many before, had ever come close to matching the single moment she was experiencing right now. A feeling so gratifying she wondered if she herself could feed the Hive for the next year on it alone. This trip, in all it's beauty, was more than she had ever been given before.

And she knew exactly why.

>It's beautiful, isn't it?

"Mmmhmmm."

Every bit of it bloomed with a light that had never been matched all because of the one who walked by her on these sandy shores, all because of the one who listened with her as they heard the sounds of the waves gently rolling in and out. It was because of this that moment could be lifted up into something much, much more.

She was finally getting her long, romantic walk on the beach with Shining, and nothing could ever take this away.

Everything was perfect, everything was exactly what it needed to be. The setting, the time, even the amount of clouds in the sky seemed tailor made to make this walk the most perfect walk she had ever been on, ever. Everything seemed to be working with her, for once in her far too long life.

Everything, absolutely all of it, was perfect.

So why, she found herself wondering. Why was it that something felt like it was missing. Was the sand crunching too loudly against her hooves? Was his hair not quite right, sloshed awry by an errant wave? Was something missing in this otherwise faultless moment. Perhaps a dove flying overhead? Perhaps the sun needed to be a touch higher, maybe a little lower?

Everything was perfect, yet something was missing.

1/2

>>26086217

Something that, even now, even looking at his handsome, smiling, content face, could not be given to her. Something right now was not as it should be.

Perhaps... it was the kiss.

Was that it, she wondered? Was she merely missing that one final touch? Was she merely bereft of that one little bit of contact that would make it all perfect? Was this, a simple meeting of their lips, the last piece in an otherwise flawless puzzle?

She was tempted to take it right now, to complete everything and make it as it should be. She was tempted, so very tempted. All that held her back was... the truth.

It wasn't that, which was missing.

Though she was hurt to admit it, though his company alone could have carried her through the end times itself, there was, to her regret, something missing in it all.

>...I wish Cadence was here.

"She'll come out when she's ready."

>Are you sure?

"Positive. I know Cadence, and she... she's just got to do this for herself, that's all. She doesn't want us to hang around her, as much as I want to... she needs to do this on her own, for her own sake, and nothing else. I trust her, she'll come... when it's time."

>If you're sure...

"Until then..."

She felt it, that fire flowing through her veins, that power that made her feel like she could rip the heavens from the sky all by herself, without a single care. That power, unmatched, all from a simple kiss upon her cheek.

"We'll wait."

>...okay.

It had been so long since he had kissed her on the lips, so long that she had forgotten how much more powerful it was than any mere touch on her cheek.

There was something missing this time, there was no doubt in her mind. Someone who should be here was not, and she missed them.

Despite that, when they touched together...

Everything was perfect.

>>26086228

By being a responsible parent and husband and always ensuring that anything he does is okay with his wife while implicitly trusting her to speak up if anything he does bothers her safe in the knowledge that she is assured if she does he will abide by it and not hold it against her, while also being a responsible adult managing his home and work life in order to provide the best environment for his still developing adoptive child whom he loves as much as any biological one.

Isn't that the good end? She fights through it all, misses out on her desire to actually go have fun, but overall manages to accomplish something finally?

>Because her goofing off and ignoring the work she promised to do is the Good end. As strongly hinted to with all of Cadence and Shiny's internal monolouging about it.

It's hinting they both want A thing, that doesn't mean it's the good thing.

AJ and Chrysalis wanted the apple, but it was the bad thing.

>>26088003
We talked about this a few threads ago. The anons here want Cadence to go play with the others, to the point they said "just have 18 help her do it right before they leave".

>>26088059
Nooo, AN anon implied LAST THREAD he wanted that, and then instead we pointed out that, instead, we should have her work on it bit by bit over time, making small accomplishments, and then we started doing that.

Here's the chain and everything, complete with first baby step. https://desustorage.org/mlp/thread/26008453/#26042773

18's not going to help her, she's doing it on her own now.

>>26088090
I know about last thread I meant thread before that we we arguing about if Cadence should even go.

>>26088193
But... the argument the guy made why she SHOULD go was that it would make her temptation more real and her sacrifice of this time mean something more than just 'she doesn't do the stuff in the CE that she can do anyway when she's done'.

Did I misinterpret that? I thought that was the whole argument, to develop her and give her a real challenge and obstacle to overcome in her quest to be better, that she just couldn't get at the CE. That's the whole reason I argued for him anyway.

>>26088229
Yep, nail on the head. Think he got the arguments mixed up, guy wanted her to stay for personal reasons, and someone else just wanted it over with because they don't like drawn put conflict. Nothing wrong with that! Just not what I was going for when we sent them off, she's definitely not just getting a sit down and instant talk\fix. She's gotta put in the work now, and she's gonna, and it's gonna suck for her... but it'll be worth it.

>>26088360
That's what I like to hear. Effort, motherfucker.

Should we figure out a side thing for AJ to do, or just let her relax a bit?

>>26088434

>>26088434
Ehhhh, I kinda want her to relax, due to the whole... big arc thing, you know, not to burn her out, but that is pulling a bit of a Caddy there.

AJ is doing a thing. With the rest of her friends. It just happens to be Pinkie's story this time. Because she is feeling some abandonment issues to point she drug them out to parts unknown beach. (btw are we gong with she has 'herbs'?)

She also is doing a bit where she starts to practice and someone walks up behind her to cause her to spaz because she doesn't want to hear it after all the fuss she gave about it.

>>26088763
She's Pinkie.

>>26088776
>(btw are we gong with she has 'herbs'?)

Whoever lands the canon story first, same as ever

>>26087790
Oh, Spitfire... you really need to get over it.

>>26089386
She is about halfway there. 30 threads is when Dash stopped fucking with Spitfire, she's been at this for like 13

>>26089386
She never will. She's just plain at the point where she outright does not like and never will like Dash.

We shot ourselves in the foot when we had Dash replace her, because... well, how do you go from 'You took my position via your friend and now I will never get it back because of you' to 'we're buddies!'

>>26089578
...we kinda suck, don't we?

>>26089578
I guess we could try to make a joke about it, but honestly it's just funnier that she hates her.

>>26089639
Speak for yourself, I like it better that Spitfire will forever hold rage for the one who got her put in the history books as worst-captain-ever and then kicked down to 'personal bitch' level, and now Spitfire is in a never ending quest for revenge.

That's just plain entertaining.

>>26089386
She'll get over it around the same time Chrysalis gets fucked by Shiny.again.

>>26089578
Didn't she sort of get over it by tricking Dash into eating her briefs or whatever a few threads back? That seemed like a 'able to slowly start over' moment.

>>26089578
>We shot ourselves in the foot when we had Dash replace her,

We probably could have pulled it back if it weren't for the maid thing, but yeah. For as much as some of us like to go "let's just solve it with comedy!" there's a point where they straight up stop being characters and stop making any sort of sense and just become a gag we're supposed to somehow also care about in some way or want to see more of.

That point where attempting to solve it with silly just ends up looking desperate and sad, and you have to look away...

>>26089644
>>26089668
Also this, she's funny as Dash's nemesis. Spitfire is remarkably well rounded as a character for being what is essentially a side number.

>>26089728
I did not get that feeling at all, that just seemed like another one of the pranks she was pulling on her. Did not get even the slightest impression that was supposed to be a start over moment, and she went back to pranking her(kind of mean too) in the next story.

I mean she ended that by snidely saying "Now you've got a piece of your hero inside of you!" and then trotting off, how is that "now we can even remotely try to not be enemies"?

>>26089728
As much as you would want it to be, that was just one in a long line of Spitfire nonchalantly exacting revenge. It just seems like she got over it because we shelved her bit once the last arc started heating up.
>>26089737
Then there is this, a walking reminder for Dash that just because she always wins doesn't mean she was right. Fleetfoot is not this as she is "what if we handled Spitfire's punishment better?"

>>26089728
>Didn't she sort of get over it by tricking Dash into eating her briefs or whatever a few threads back?

The birthday cake one? THAT was supposed to be a 'start over' moment? The fuck?

Did not REMOTELY feel like that to me, but I've been wrong plenty.

>>26089813
>Fleetfoot is not this as she is "what if we handled Spitfire's punishment better?"

Well, less a meta 'what if WE had handled it better' and more an actual character development of "DASH realizing that she could have handled that better, and that giving in to her first instinct could end up blinding her to how much she's really hurting someone. And even if they deserve it, that doesn't mean that being as vindictive is going to help anyone in the long run."

Like, she messed up, she realized she messed up, and she eventually understood WHY she messed up(instead of just getting the 1UP mushroom of smarts), and then moving to fix it, that's not a 'outside writer' thing, that's developing Dash.

>>26089668
If you say so, I get shit on for having characters dislike each other like...a lot.

>>26089900
Could you give an example? I'm having a hard time believing that, especially in a case like Spitfire/Dash where there is just so much justification.

>>26089932
I got told to stop having most of the members of the A-Team dislike 32 and have him make amends...y'know, after he attacked half of them with a brick, pinned one to a wall with a knife, and tried to assassinate the last one's leader.

I mean, I'm going to do it with the two remaining eventually, but still it doesn't mean I wasn't told to knock it off.

>>26089974
I... legit do not know what to say to that, that's fucking retarded.

I get 77 being nice again because BROTHHHEEEERRRRR and all that, and Twi you can swing because she examined him and understands why he snapped, but someone seriously told you to make Spike and DT chill out? DT!? Diamond motherfucking Tiara shouldn't be mad at him and insult/threaten him

I agree, that's retarded, and you should feel good you weren't that retarded.

>>26089974
That's moronic... the "having most of the A-team dislike 32" part not the 'have him make amends' part, I get why you would want to have 32 come to his senses and try to make it right, but anyone who told you to just have the A-team forgive him(San 77, obviously!) ASAP is just dumb.

>>26089974
>>26089999
I agree with these quads, DT is a bitch that will hold a grudge until she dies (She is still canonically mad at AJ)

Spike you probably could have swung if you did it right between the end of Twi-crazy and the start of Partyland.

42 will never forgive him and that is a given and he is probably never shaking that whole 'worst ling' tag even with 13.

>>26089999
Spike was actually chilled out when 32 apologized about the whole thing after he got made ambassador. And I got a great big lecture on how to mend fences with him and 42 I'm eventually going to have to do.

I don't know, maybe I should just stop trying to make 32 resemble a likable character, I'm obviously bad at it no matter what I do.

>>26090103
>And I got a great big lecture on how to mend fences with him and 42 I'm eventually going to have to do.

...You mean that one time that guy wrote out a possible scenario where they talked about it? That ended with 42 still not forgiving him, just understanding him, and him actually understanding her.

You can understand why someone does them and never get over the fact they hurt and tried to kill your friend, but still move past it. If I remember right, that dialog had him admitting she was right, but her not admitting the same for him.

>>26090103

Nigga you are remembering that shit exactly backwards, or you lyin'. If that's you, then YOU started off with the irrational hatred of 42, admitted you didn't know how to bury the hatches, and someone else wrote a scenario. And THEN when you hated that 32 wasn't right, they proved they could do that too!

Sorry to say >>26090103, but it's looking like you just remembered that wrong, I just scanned up and down and can't find anyone telling you to have any A-team member stop being mad at 32, you wanted them to and then someone helped you out, everyone else seemed to think it couldn't be done, and there are zero mentions of DT not hating him.

If you've got another example, provide it, otherwise this is just one of those silly times you remember something but wires got crossed or something.

>>26090103
32, has unfortunately been an antagonist since jump. Despite the fact his goal was get changelings out from under Chrysalis, which is now noble AJ's side mission. He has been getting shit on for his actions in thread 17 and has had to fight for everything he has gotten. It doesn't help that he has always been an asshole and turned into just a male to spout innuendos for a while. Even the good he does gets shit on....Oh my god he's Chrysalis with a dick. That is the problem.

The DT thing happened when I wrote 32 coming to tell the A-Team about 77's engagement.

And fine, you know what, I used the wrong words describing it. But it's like goddamn, I'm just going to have to write it and hope I never have to deal with that character again. I just flat out do NOT like her.

>>26090310
>, which is now noble AJ's side mission.

Is she? I thought she was just trying to make them not hated...

>>26090798
That's step one.
Her ultimate goal was dispersing them among the populous to live their own lives. It has been her goal with the changelings since Chrysalis refused to fill out paperwork for them to be citizens all those threads ago. It was also one of the things she thought of to tell her when she was holding the Apple "to be a good queen you must let your subjects go" or something along those lines.

How they had, yet again, ended up next to each other they had not a single clue.

Yet, impossibly, titan and student once more found themselves on opposite ends of a bench, sitting in silence.

Well, mostly silence.

>...

"Stop making that noise."

>I'm not making any noise.

"You are."

>You're imagining things.

"If you're mad they left you behind-"

>I'M NOT!

She had to be telling the truth, the Queen surmised. She was loud. Loud ones were always right.

>...I'm not.

"Clearly."

>You know, some of us don't like being alone. Some of us actually get upset when we get left behind.

If she had said a thousand words, the pony wouldn't have been surprised in the least. That, most likely, is what made it so very shocking when she didn't.

She went silent.

>Don't even try playing the pity card.

"The day you pity me is the day I punch in my own face."

>Well then, feel my pity, feel it all!

"...Heh."

>You actually found that funny. You seriously, SERIOUSLY, found that funny? Of all the things I could have said, in all the great big wide world, that is what you find funny. That.

"Maybe."

She had never wanted to throw something more in her entire life. If she'd a the bomb, it would have gone off by now, without a single care for blowing herself apart.

>...You're an idiot.

"Says the corpse."

>I'M NOT A FUCKING CORPSE!

Even louder than the last one, surely that meant she was more right.

>...I'm NOT.

It was a very, very good thing she couldn't cry. She would never have forgiven herself.

"If you say so... then why have you not simply fixed your heart? I thought this thing was merely a rock."

Frustration had been building inside of her for a long time. Promises had been made, promises of fixing, of tireless work until she was returned to normal, promises to give her life back. She hadn't been given any of them.

>You want to know?

1/4

>>26091091

Promise after promise made, and nothing to show for it. It weighs heavily on the mind, in time. Promise after promise wore her down, in time. Promise after promise had built up something inside of her, something that wanted out.

>You really want to know?

She had nothing to hold it in, anymore.

>Because my heart fucking IS this rock, you moron! It wasn't just jammed in there like you seem to fucking think, it IS the rock! Magic so twisted lodged it in there and outright replaced it! If I take it out, my body will stop and I will fucking die! A complete shut down of every nerve, cell and fucking muscle in my body, everything from my liver to my fucking brain coming to a complete, total stop! You can't restart a body after something like that! The amount of dead blood cells would be catastrophic! I would clog every artery I had and cease pumping blood to my now barren and unworking brain! I can't even remove it for heart surgery because by the time the new heart comes in, my body is so dead nothing could possibly restart it! I'm fucking stuck with this thing you moron, FOREVER!

It felt good, she would admit that. It felt good to be free and lose all that had been inside of her for so, so long. She had wanted to scream this into someone else's face, perhaps Applejack, perhaps Celestia, somebody, for so very long. It felt so good to at last feel release. So good, even if it was in the face of someone who could never understand, or care.

"...I see."

Which is why the expression on her face was nothing short of chilling.

>Don't even pretend to know what I'm talking about.

"I actually do."

>Bullshit, you're as smart as a bag of rocks, and just as capable of understanding biology.

"Heh..."

That laugh, that smile, it told her a very, very different story.

>...Do you... know something?

"Yes."

2/4

>>26091112

One word, so chilling, so powerful, it made her world stop. One simple word of no more than three letters, and it said so many things. Terrible things, great things, strange things. All from three tiny little letters.

>I don't believe you.

She didn't know what she was denying, the changeling had not said a word yet. She had offered nothing, given nothing, but she felt nothing less than complete denial of whatever it was that wasn't there. It wasn't, that was all that mattered, and the Queen had to know it.

"Don't believe what?"

>Whatever it is you're trying to spin, I don't believe you. Don't even bother telling me one of those lies I know is a load of ponyshit.

"I haven't said anything."

>And if you're smart, you won't.

"Hmmm... well, according to you, I'm quite stupid, aren't I?"

>Yes, you are. You're very, very stupid. Which is why I don't want to hear it.

"So quick, I see... tell me, what would you be willing to give up to be a flesh and blood pony again?"

Every single solitary hair on her neck positively lifted when she mentioned that. Every one, without question.

>You're lying.

"It's just a question."

>It doesn't matter, because you're just trying to lead into a damn offer, an offer of lies that you'd never fulfill, or do so in such a way I'd hate myself forever for taking it. You take hope and desperation and turn it against ponies. You, your type, are all liars, every one of you is full of the worst evil in Equestria, and I don't want to hear a single offer come out of your mouth because YOU FUCKING QUEENS ALWAYS LIE!

She hadn't been phased, not in the least. Not even bothered when magic sparked on her horn, and an errant power lashed across her massive black chest. She gave little more than a smirk as she scratched it, that spot where not so very long ago there had been a hole that lead right to her heart.

"I was just asking."

She looked at her hoof, totally clean, and she smiled.

3/4

>>26091124

"For your information, I don't like lying, tends to backfire really easily. No, I like keeping my word as it was to the letter. Now, as for your other thing, you regretting it... I guess I can't argue that, can I? I don't make deals unless I get something out of it of equal value, but isn't that fair?"

>What game are you playing...

She smiled again. That wicked, fanged smile.

"I don't play games. I make deals when I have something I need, nothing more."

>So does a certain other figure, you know.

"Oh? Who's that?"

>Tall red guy with a pitchfork, you'd like him.

"Hm... sounds like someone I'd like to fight."

>You have no idea.

"...Very well, if that's what you want, I suppose I'm done talking with you anyway. It seems Sweet Note has found a cuisine she wants to try, and my Daughter is looking for help to get her away. Such a hooffull, those two."

She let all four hooves smoothly hit the ground before she took her sweet time, stretching out every single limb before she began to leave at a relaxed pace.

>Just...

She didn't pause, nor did she slow, just as the pony didn't expect her to.

>Just tell me, honestly, could you fix me?

"Yes."

There had not been a single bit of hesitation in her voice, no doubt, no anything. Nothing to indicate it was anything less than the truth. She kept her pace, never slowing, never stalling, uninterested in the least by the pony she left behind.

"Oh, and unlike them... I keep my word."

Not looking back for a moment, to watch the look cross her face.

>You're lying...

She was too far away to possibly hear the whisper, but it needed to be said.

>You're lying... you're a Queen... Queen's only lie.

To herself, it needed to be said, even if it was her alone.

>...You have to be lying... that's what you do. You wait till we need it...

Said to no one else but the pony on the bench, and the tingling need in her chest.

>...then we don't stop regretting it...

>>26091141
>Tall red guy with a pitchfork, you'd like him
Well, there go my sides

>>26091141
Whelp. Sunset's fucked.

>>26090852
Then why was the thing she arrived at "You have to move out of the Empire and get your own place?"

Kind of a big deal.

>>26091334
Because in the end, getting her away from her 'enablers' was more important to her. AJ literally went from I can have her do anything, to you can't live with ponies that like you. She channeled her inner Rarity and went petty.

>Could be either, really.

-Yep, but what about you, where do you come from? Changelings don't grow this large around here. Could there be other hives out there we simply didn't know about? Perhaps a Queen who could wake ours up?-

>Oh I come from a hive that's...similar to yours.

-You don't say, how'd you deal with your Princess cocooning herself?-

-Oh well, should have assumed it'd be foolish to get my hopes up. You know it'd be useful to have bigger changelings around, it'd certainly be easier to infiltrate ponies.

Did you know we went to replace their Princesses and they were just GONE? We figure they just wandered off. What's a silly bunch of creatures.-

-Question, can we take a route that goes within Maretov Cocktail-throwing distance of Canterlot?-

>What? Why!?

-Because they're douchebags.-

>Douchebags we took an oath to protect and serve.

-Yeah, and they repay us for doing that by telling us we gotta stay away for making friends. Just because they only got to play with kids in the same net worth bracket doesn't mean they get to say who we hang out with.-

"I'm kind of with him on that, not to Anarchist levels but in principle yes."

>Look we all know this is a sham, they are going to see we have had no influence from changelings and we'll be back before the week is out. Now I ask again, who wants to go on a beach vacation?

-Can I bring 41?-

>Sure.

-Then yeah.-

"I'm in."

'Is it or is it not in Mexicolt?'

>It isn't. I think.

'Then count me in.'

>Huh?

'Nothin'!'

>>26090094
>DT is a bitch that will hold a grudge until she dies
Yeah, she's that type, but I can see a couple of scenarios where she can patch things up with 32.

32 can't be direct with this one. He's going to need a mediator. Someone that DT knows and respect like 77. DT respects 77's opinions and would listen to him if he asks nicely to ease up on 32. At the very least, it'll keep her from doing anything inflammatory unless 32 starts it first.
She'll eventually drop it if 32 has been respectful, because he doesn't give a reason for her to make her mad anymore. It's better to disarm the explosive than to set it off.

A surefire way to get on DT's good side is to get her reinstated as a member of the A-team and possibly restore the A-team to fighting action. In that scenario, it would earn an incredible amount of respect with her and would make her willing to stick up for him if someone said shit about him. Explosive acquired and will defend you.

>And I'm the crazy one. What are we doing tonight?

"I want to introduce a new segment called Love Love High!"

Curtain closes and opens up again to a school library background. DT wears a school girl uniform while Cadence wears a boy's uniform. DT gives an innocent look.
'Cadence-senpai, I have a confession....I'm not doing well in school right now...can you tutor me?'

Cadence touches DT's chin.
"Don't worry, I know a lot of things and with me tutoring you, you'll know a lot of things too. Let's start by opening the book. You can learn a lot of princess stuff from this."

'*gasp* I didn't know that. Learning is so much fun with you Cadence-senpai.'

Cadence does the pretty boy sparkles
"I'm good, but it's because of you're the one who pushes me to go beyond."

'Y-you mean, you l-like me?'

So, long story short, everyone possibly involved has to sucker up to the little pink punk with the rocket launcher because her massively inflated ego doesn't allow her to ask others for help. Because she suuuuuure as heck doesn't have anything to apologies for? Hah. Haha to you.

Why would anyone work with her again ?

>>26094135

>>26094211
A doi, didn;t you remember how we comically souped her to be some Adeptus Mechanicus tier weapons engineer in a goddamn school house, cobbling together a Fuckoff Launcher out of scrap and Trust fund moni, and then we suddenly shifted the gear stick all the way to the left and tried to make it super serious?

COMPETENT WRITERS ANON

>>26093368
It is probably something along the lines of she thinks that DNA shifting the rock would work, when we already had Twilight rule it out to keep us from fixing her too quickly. We are basically going to have to dues ex machina or way out of this though since we ruled out every fix our characters could do to keep her undead.

Why don't we have the mirror portal fix her instead of killing her like she thinks?

>>26094779
....How has no one thought of a magically induced Stasis field affecting Sunny's body within and without? Total cessation of time in a localised area (Her body) giving our.... wait.... shit, the only actual named surgeons we have are Twilight and... Fucking Screwloose, fuck.

ANYWAY.

Magic, super specifi,c TIME STOP stasis field on Sunset, cut her open, extract the fuck-off rock, gently/magically attach recipient heart into her, repair arteries and other damaged chest cavity functions. Have all forms of "Make heart go thump-a thump" equipment on standby for when the field is dropped.

Come on folks, we can't balk at some magical heart replacement surgery, WE'RE /PA/ for fucks sake.

>>26094801
"even if we could get a heart in there the second of delay to get blood pumping would kill you" -Twilight.
"In the time it would take to get a new heart in all my other organs would fail"-Sunset

It takes 23 seconds for circulation to complete, even if you did that the fact that we have Twilight saying you die instantly, meaning dropping the field even to get just get blood flowing still kills her or causes severe crippling damage to her body.

We wrote this so the only way it works is the rock becomes a heart and the rest of her body stops being undead at the same time. Which even instant heart surgery doesn't fix.

>>26094949
>We wrote this so the only way it works is the rock becomes a heart and the rest of her body stops being undead at the same time. Which even instant heart surgery doesn't fix.

Well that there's a board meeting I seemed to have missed out on.

Isn't there some goddamn way we could do this without having to bastardise all known biological understanding?

It's not fucking right we kill the poor pone, permanently lodge an OC-mcgee deus-ex stone in her, have her become panicked, subsumed, made into a pariah, then a monster, and a primary source of hate boner fuel amongst the ~Well Developed~ cast. And not even try and address the fact that the fucker responsible got away with it, that and she quite simply went to hell and back, and no-one has managed to help her?

Her life's gone to shit, shit and more shit, the last thing she needs is to become some horrendous "post-pone" necro-wank material

>>26095049
Being fair We killed Varry again but we can't actually do anything about Discord even though the characters know he did it. Fluttershy can only absorb shit he does not actually hurt him.

>>26094211
Apologies for what? 32's the one who betrayed and attacked both her and her friends. After talking to Spike, I thought he was going to make amends, but he has to go and insult her then say how much he doesn't like her. Because you know, that's how you make amends, by further pissing them off. They hadn't interacted in a good while and the first thing he does is insult her unprovoked and out of the blue, so as far as I'm concerned 32's the aggressor and needs to apologize. It felt like the author was just injecting his hate into the character and in turn made me hate 32 even more.

>...should.. should we be worried?

'HEY! YOU TWO! OUT OF THE LOCKER ROOM! WE'RE GETTING A FULL MAGICAL SWEEP IN THERE! Nothing is getting missed, NOTHING!'

"...It might be too late for that one..."

Still don't know if badguy....

>>26096617
She can be selfish and just want advancement, but not be a mustache twirling villain.

She's not willing to actually go full evil, but she's willing to betray someone to get what she wants.

>>26096693
So yes>>26096617 she is the badguy. She went from an also-ran Dash brought on to Cutthroat Bitch. She let Soarin and Fleetfoot dig their own graves and let the Spitfire situation spiral out of control. Probably the only thing that held her back this long is that she wants to fuck Dash. But she isn't one to let opportunity pass her by so she is skipping the 'wait it out' portion and trying to usurp her now in a roundabout long game revenge from Wonderbolts Academy.

But that's not bad, it's completely normal to want to advance in life and get promotions and more prestige and all that.

And that's just it, she never does this herself, she let FF and Soarin' do what they were going to and then made sure they didn't take down Dash with them, she just stepped back and let Dash do what she felt was appropriate to Spitfire, she herself isn't doing anything BAD to get this. Even now, we're not sure if this isn't her endearing herself to Dash by showing she's totally willing to follow the rules great and she's not going to hide anything, or if she just wants them to find something on Dash, because BOTH give her what she wants.

She's driven, but can you name something she did that's actually 'bad'?
