“TWILIGHT IS DEAD, CELESTIA.”
Scout: Us REDs? What the hell did we do?
Soldier: Twilight is getting angry!
Twilight: You spanked me on the rump! You sent me to my bedroom! You let numerous things fall on me! You knocked me unconscious! You tied me up in the Everfree Forest! You ruined the Gala! You shot me in the head! You planted a tiny bomb in my guts! You blew me away with an inferior tank! And that’s just how we first met!
Demoman: Oh this is not good!
Soldier: Oh no! Twilight is getting angrier!
Celestia: Twilight, calm down! What could possibly be your problem?
Twilight: starting to get angry at her friends, mentor, family and the TF2 mercenaries YOU’RE MY PROPLEM! YOU’VE ALWAYS BEEN MY PROBLEM! EACH AND EVERY SINGLE ONE OF YOU ALL, ESPECIALLY YOU PINKIE, IS JUST THE ONLY FRIENDSHIP PROBLEM, THAT I HAVE TO DEAL WITH ON A DAILY… goes full Rapidash BASIS! echoing “BASIS”
Soldier: AAAAOOOOWWWW MY GOD! Everyone down! Twilight’s on a rampage!
Princess Celestia: No! Twilight! She can’t be! She can’t be a fire pony!
Rainbow Dash: She already is, Princess! Pinkie made Twilight angry enough to ignite without hesitation!
Twilight: still a fire pony I WILL HAVE MY REVENGE! charges at the cast to attack
To be continued
Nah, that was beyond even Warhammer 40k standards. There’s a reason everyone gets pissed about that.
A better example of grimdark would be how countless numbers of psykers are rounded up and caged up for the crime of being born, and are killed outright, forced into military servitude, or used as living fuel to keep the God-Emperor alive… and that despite being horrible, the entirety of humankind would be dead if that didn’t happen.
The real grimdark of WH40K isn’t just the horrible things everyone does–it’s how everyone would die to Chaos, the Tyranids, or the Necrons if the didn’t.
Fuck that. Full Restores in every slot.
yeah the golem
and near the end it threw in a random tyrant!Celestia bit wend Luna thinks about the past, which makes no seance and only there because all stories like this needs to make Celestia bad somehow.
@Brony103
what are you talking about that’s what grimdarks IS. The term itself comes form 40k fans wend they talk about a pointless dark element in 40k’s fluff.
like oh say wend Grey Knights kill a bunch of nuns and use there blood to protect themselves form chaos, despite Grey Knights whole stick is being immune to chaos in every way and have a shit ton of protection wards already and so don’t need any more. Plus the fact that they fought there way to the temple
Star Wars reference. Not too shabby.
I want my grimdark to be a story, not a clusterfuck of mindless gore just so the author can see how many people he can make throw up! Put in a story line at least dammit!
But… Just… ugh
Terrible
Blew through Sunset pretty quickly.
Holy damn that shit is ridiculous. XD
That fic was almost Lynchian with the wacky plot twists. A golem? SRSLY?
Well, even in that case, it’s implied Twilight is still part of the alicorn Collective, she just needs a body to call her own. Rarity can be handled similarly if anyone can be arsed to find all those figurines. RBD we never find out about, could be she got caught by the enclave and quietly disposed of, could be she decided to flee to the griffons after the enclave closes the sky. Whatever, there’s lots of possibilities!
One grimdark element that was missing though that I would have liked to have seen: Pip has some of those memory orbs with her…What if one of them is Scootaloo’s hateful rant? And Celestia managed to access that one? That’d probably hurt as much as losing her sister, knowing how much one of her own ponies hated them. One who was so close to the mane 6 and their sisters even!
Idk I guess since I don’t see Celestia in a losing position so often I’d like to drag that out a whole bunch with a big ol’ humiliation conga for the lulz. And you can’t get better than Scootaloo purposefully making Stable 1 stay sealed until every ‘noble’ in Canterlot is dead.
Chances are that’s the point he’s making, but whatever.
But the individual deaths of the Mane 6 are super rough. Pinkie and Twilight especially. Celestia got a pretty raw fucking deal, too.
I mean come on, Pip managed to get raiders and slavers to band together and build a community by slaying an evil dragon! That is totally some transplanted high fantasy fluff right there. Also the grand finale, though there were some ‘forced’ moments such as letting the enclave mop up the ‘good’ steel rangers (why would they suspect anything is at Spike’s cave when he’s busy attacking them head-on?). Overall though the ending is super-optimistic with Pip succeeding at restoring the world after a few stumbles along the way.
Contrast that to standard post-apoc stories such as Doomsday (Everyone frikkin dies, heroine carves a path of destruction, winds up leader of the cannibalistic raider band after offing its leader and half its members), Boy and his Dog (Hero is a rapist that finds creepy totalitarian underground community, meets and falls for girl, escapes with her to surface, then kills and eats her) and Tank Girl (The movie is campy but the background for it is definitely bleak, future is controlled by water corporations that don’t care about letting whole cities die of thirst) and you’ve got a good litmus as to what FoE is up against. All things considered, especially the moral impact Pip leaves on the wastes, it is SUPERBLY optimistic in contrast.
The others are pretty absolutely fucking terrible, though. No argument there. FoE is just an acquired taste I guess. It is pretty damn bleak.
