''Hùndùn'', formerly ''MLP'' is an ongoing [[FanSpeak humanized]] HighFantasy {{Adventure}} fanfic of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' by Akira Hayashi. It is a DarkerAndEdgier, BloodierAndGorier, and HotterAndSexier retelling of the original cartoon in which the author's stated goal is to bring the [[FridgeHorror darker]] and more taboo implications of the original show [[{{Deconstruction}} to the forefront]] in order to [[Administrivia/TropesAreTools demonstrate its hidden brilliance]].
The basic premise of this fic is very similar to that of the original show: Princess Celestia dispatches her student Twilight Sparkle to the town of Avalon (this fic's equivalent of Ponyville) with an important mission. Twilight brings her apprentice Spike on her mission, and is aided by her five strange new friends in performing it. However, the key difference between ''Hùndùn'' and ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'' is that rather than being tasked with studying ThePowerOfFriendship, Twilight and her friends are charged with preventing Discord, the [[GodOfEvil God of Chaos]], from escaping [[SealedEvilInACan his prison in Tartarus]] and resuming his [[HellOnEarth oppressive rule over the world]] as he did thousands of years ago.
The ongoing fic can be read [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/330102/mlp here]].
----
!!This work provides examples of:
* AerithAndBob: The world of ''Hùndùn'', much like the world of [[WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic the original show]], has characters with names like Twilight, Scootaloo, Celestia, Night Light, and... [[OddNameOut David Baker, Stephen, and Molly]].
* AntagonistTitle: "Hùndùn" is Discord's real name.
* AnthropomorphicPersonification: The Gods are the personifications of primal forces of nature.
* AttackOfTheTownFestival: The first major conflict of the fic is Luna's release and attempted usurpation of Celestia on the day of the world's one thousandth Summer Sun Celebration.
* BilingualBonus: "Hùndùn" is the Mandarin pronunciation of the Chinese "混沌".
* CrapsackWorld: The world of ''Hùndùn'' is quite similar to the SugarBowl world of the original show; however, its more [[FridgeHorror unsavory]] and horrific [[VileVillainSaccharineShow aspects]] are more heavily emphasized. For instance, the RealityWarper Discord is given AdaptationalVillainy and is an AdaptationalBadass so that, rather than merely being seen as a significant threat to the world's peace, he is regarded as a full-fledged EldritchAbomination GodOfEvil whose return would herald the EndOfTheWorldAsWeKnowIt.
* CrapsaccharineWorld: Despite seeming to be very similar to the SugarBowl world of the original show, the world of ''Hùndùn'' features such things as child prostitution, oppressive, soul-destroying cults, and a flourishing culture of bigotry.
* DarkFic: One of the main focuses of ''Hùndùn'' is bringing the FridgeHorror aspects of the original show to the forefront as part of its {{deconstruction}}.
* TheDarkTimes: The history of the world of ''Hùndùn'' begins with the long, horrific rule of Discord, the God of Chaos.
* DeconstructionFic: Of ''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic''. It is also a GenreDeconstruction of other ''Friendship is Magic'' fanfics.
* TheDreaded: All of the Sealed Gods, but especially the [[GodOfEvil God of Chaos]] [[EldritchAbomination Discord]].
* EldritchAbomination: The [[EldritchLocation Everfree Forest]] is rumored to be filled with these, though nobody knows if there really are any there.
* EldritchLocation: The Everfree Forest, which is impossible for cartographers to map and gets more dangerous the deeper you delve into it.
* FantasticRacism: Each of the three mortal races of Beings has a deeply racist stereotype of the other two; Elves are portrayed as [[AnythingThatMoves perverted]], [[PedoHunt pederast]] warlocks of dark magic, Angels are portrayed as [[AlwaysChaoticEvil bloodthirsty, warmongering barbarians]], and Humans are [[DoesThisRemindYouOfAnything portrayed as simple, apelike oafs]].
* FixFic: ''Hùndùn'' borrows the plot lines of many episodes of ''Friendship is Magic''; however, the author has altered it in places in order to improve upon it when it's not [[{{Deconstruction}} deconstructing]] it.
* FunctionalMagic: Magic is regarded and studied as a science in the world of ''Hùndùn''; there are even specialized disciplines within it and a formal educational program that all Elves must undertake to learn them.
* FriendsWithBenefits: Rainbow has had this kind of relationship simultaneously with [[ReallyGetsAround Lightning Dust, Gilda, Fluttershy, and possibly others]].
* {{Gayngst}}: Rainbow, Fluttershy, and Scootaloo suffer from this due to the homophobia from their peers.
* GodEmperor: Each of the world's kingdoms is ruled by a PhysicalGod.
* GreaterScopeVillain: Discord, the God of Chaos.
* GreatOffscreenWar: Before the events of ''Hùndùn'', there were three major wars: first, the usurpation of Discord by the other Gods; second, the CivilWar between the Gods to fill the power vacuum Discord left behind that occurred immediately after his downfall; and third, an attempted usurpation of Celestia by Nightmare Moon a thousand years before the events of the fic.
* HegemonicEmpire: The world of ''Hùndùn'' is one of these; the land is divided into kingdoms, each one ruled by one of the [[GodEmperor Gods]]. They are all under the rule of Equestria, which in turn is under the rule of [[TheHighQueen High Princess Celestia]].
* HellOnEarth: What the world was like during [[TheDarkTimes Discord's rule]], and what its citizens fear it will become again if he returns.
* HighFantasy: ''Hùndùn'' is ''My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic'' reimagined as a fantasy epic.
* HotGod: The Gods of this world are explicitly stated to be the [[WorldsMostBeautifulWoman most beautiful Beings]] in the world.
* IllBeInMyBunk: Spike does this whenever [[GirlOnGirlIsHot any of his female friends bathe together or allude to having sex]].
* JustToyingWithThem: When Nightmare Moon fights the main cast, it's made abundantly clear both before and after their battle that Nightmare is holding back ''tremendously''. She does so in order to not kill any of the main cast, who she hopes [[WeCanRuleTogether to persuade to join her]].
* NebulousEvilOrganization: The hooded cult that released Nightmare Moon seems to be this.
* OurAngelsAreDifferent: Angels aren't immortal or divine in ''Hùndùn''; they're simply one of the three mortal races of Beings. What differentiates them from the other Beings is their wings, which give them the ability to fly, and a magical ability to walk on clouds.
* OurDwarvesAreAllTheSame: Humans essentially fill the role of dwarves in ''Hùndùn'', being stronger, hardier, and more stubborn than the other mortal races.
* OurElvesAreDifferent: In ''Hùndùn'', Elves are nothing more than mortal Beings with pointed ears and the ability to perform magic.
* OurGodsAreDifferent: Gods are immortal personifications of nature in ''Hùndùn'', though they are as prone to injury and failings as mortals. In this way, they're very similar to the classical greek gods.
* PrincessesRule: The ultimate ruler of the world is Celestia, the Princess of Equestria. However, this might be a JustifiedTrope; after all, Celestia's full title is "''High'' Princess", and even though he is imprisoned, Discord is still referred to as the King of the World, which might mean that his title is non-transferrable.
* SealedEvilInACan: [[ExaggeratedTrope Exaggerated]]; there is not just one, but ''seven'' of these in the form of the seven dark Sealed Gods, each imprisoned in their own tailor-made {{hell}}.
* SteamPunk: The world of ''Hùndùn'' is mildly steampunk; their InUniverse TableTopRPG, Steam, is set in a world that is ''completely'' so.
* TopGod: Discord held this position during his rule, as both King of the Gods and (likely) the God of Gods. Once he was overthrown, this position was appropriated by Celestia (at least the King of the Gods part...).
* WeCanRuleTogether: Nightmare takes an interest in the main cast after seeing them and their abilities, and subsequently offers them positions as high-ranking servants to her.
* WingedHumanoid: The Angels, natch. The Gods have even ''bigger'' wings.
