@Red-Supernova  
Pretty much, yeah XD

@Badumsquish  
I figured Healthy and Toxic Fluttershy would be somewhat like Healthy and Toxic Morty since Fluttershy when vulnerable would greatly say stuff like “I know! I am worthless!” Toxic Twilight would be always dedicated to her OCD about making sure things are perfect or being on time for something. So she when is created, she is yelling at the Toxic Mane Five to help her create a way out of Discord’s toxic realm so she can get back to work.

@Red-Supernova  
I guess it depends what they consider “toxic” about themselves. Like, I could see Toxic Fluttershy being monstrously timid while Healthy Fluttershy became an antagonistic bitch, since she seems to be ashamed of how bashful she is :P

@Badumsquish  
Yeah they are, but I don’t know how the Toxic Mane Six would be that different compared to the Mane Six when Discorded or the Mean Six. Still, I can see the Toxic Mane Six as a result from Discord trying to actually not cause chaos for once but out of something he never expected would happen. The Mane Six wouldn’t notice but Spike, Starlight and the others would.
 
Also this reply was originally longer but the fucking CAPTCHA stuff deleted it even when I hit the post button.

@Red-Supernova  
They are weirdly similar in a few ways, aren’t they? XD

You know, I can see this Rick and Morty plot working in an MLP fanfic. I even have some base ideas.

Failing that, I’d totally settle for a villain like Garmadon from the LEGO Ninjago Movie XD  

@Badumsquish
 

 
oh man, I need to get back to this story I’m writing there’s so f-ing much left to go ffff

@Badumsquish  

 
Good ideas!

Twilight blasts Toxic Spike with the spell again.
 
Toxic Twilight: Okay! You’ve made your point! (Goes to Toxic Spike) Spike! Not that I give a shit, but are you okay?

@Background Pony #511B I have an MLP-based idea based on this image and the actual Rick and Morty episode. Would you like to hear it?

Applejack: What in tarnation?!
 
Twilight: Sorry, Applejack.  
Toxic Twilight: Fuck you, Applejack!

@redweasel  
If absolutely nothing else, for as abusive, insane, and dickish as Rick is, he genuinely does care about Morty :P
 
@Stotter  
Things like morality really fascinate me in fiction. Honestly too, I gotta give like major props to this show for having such amazingly flawed main characters. Seriously, like Twilight Sparkle could easily be a villain without changing a single part of her personality, and for how so many of the villains are pretty sympathetic characters :D
 
Now, what I want more than anything else, is a totally sympathetic bad guy who isn’t worthy of redemption. Someone who’s an absolute tragedy because they were more or less forced down the road to villainy, but has become so devoted to it now that they won’t even consider changing :D

@Badumsquish  
Yes, I see your point. Good and bad being simplistic constructs when better descriptors of those qualities are positive and negative. Subtle distinction but important to the message. Oddly, the best exploration and summary that comes to mind are deleted scenes from Bruce Almighty, themselves best summed up with the metaphor in the quote “If you want to paint pictures like these, you have to use some dark colors.”

I hope you do more toxic versions of the characters!

@Stotter  
@Badumsquish
 
yeah, I’m… gonna continue not watching that show…

@redweasel  
That’s what I’d do, honestly, if I could write an actual episode. I’d have one that showed that “good” and “bad” qualities aren’t so black and white, and have some good qualities (loyalty, honesty, determination) all cause problems while some bad ones (selfishness, spite, mistrust) helped out :P

@redweasel  
Nope, the lesson is that none of them are special or important, that’s always the lesson.

the…episode ended with them realizing the value of even their negative qualities and reuniting, right?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=up4i3sMBl94 That YouTube link gives me an idea. In which someone creates toxicity devices that can hack into Queen Novo’s orb, the Tree of Harmony, the Cutie Map, and the Crystal Heart to amplify the beaming of toxic energies all over the lands. The being can activate those devices with wireless reception all way from 1 million kilometers away, and use his idea to reduce the two worlds, and the merged one in one case, to a state of war, depravity, and violence.

@Ereiam  
You’re fine, man.

@Mike  
I told him he was “free to”. Plus I amended the profanity now, so I hope it makes it okay.

@Ereiam  
Can you try to avoid telling people to fuck off?
