I have never been able to read that fic a second time…

Oh no, I got… uh… pwned?
 
Yeah, we’ll pretend that happened for your sake.
 
Swap everytime I said Rarity or Sparity with Twi or TwiSpike.
 
Done, point still stands. I’ll pretend the ‘pwnage’ thing still stands to so they don’t cry because of how weirdly serious they take someguy commenting on a derpibooru picture.

^ Pwned.

it’s based on a Twispike fic, actually

I at first was gonna say “A Spike pic that doesn’t suck, shocking” but then I kinda looked at the details. It’s Sparity, so that should be tagged so I could’ve avoided it.
 
It’s based on a Sparity fic so all I see is old spike stroking purple hair laid out on the ground, which seems more creepy than sentimental.
 
So generally, nah. I realise it’s an effect to use so much black in it, but it doesn’t pay off for me in this picture, especially since what we DO see isn’t grand or interesting enough to warrant the black space to really pull in attention.
