I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

A couple of weeks ago, there was a spider skittering up and down the wall behind my monitor. I was going to let it live, until it fell from the ceiling and landed on my hand.

In one of the earliest "Dilbert" strips, Dilbert hung around outside a nuclear power plant hoping a radioactive insect would bite him. Once one did, he went home to look it up.

Hey, Dung Beetles are one of the strongest creatures on earth proportionately. It's not a bad deal.

Man, I was completely exhausted when I came home from work, but I just can't fall asleep, even 3 hours later.

@Syd: I got this jumping spider who mooches in my room, but I allow them to live because they eat all the flies that intrude my airspace.

Post of the Day #761

Question 1: I don't think it affected anything at all except for that one scene where Cadance flies with Twilight on her back

Question 2: No, I agree with you on that one.

@Ike: It's really hard to say how those stories would work out based just on the premise, because things like that rely so heavily on execution. While I can't honestly say that either of those premises strikes me in an "Oh, man, I want to read that" fashion, I do think that they could be executed well. The thing is that like Wryte pointed out, both premises have some inherent issues that would need to be addressed to keep them from becoming bog-standard Dark Fic. If you're only going to pursue one of them, I'd probably go with the Chrysalis one. The other could work, but there are so many variations of the "X pony is dead" variety that it would be hard to escape the rut. The Chrysalis one has more of a focus; specifically exploring how Chrysalis adapts to the situation, with lots of potential for how Cadance's friends and family react once she's found out.

Either way, it'll probably be an uphill battle to make the story stand out in a glut of other Darkfic, though.

Thanks for the input, JT. Honestly I like both ideas a lot, and aside from the beginning neither of them will be that dark. I just hope the first chapters won't ruin it for anyone.

Either way I have some research to do- the Canterlot Wedding and the first arc of the comics, or all the episodes detailing Equestria's history.

With dark-adventure and especially premises like those, be prepared for people to go "loldark" and never read it, possibly leaving a downvote on the way out.

Do you sometimes realize stuff that blows your mind? Like for example, cereal is essentially dog food for people.

Does that mean cereal was designed by alien overlords?

Equestria has alien farmers who designed hayburgers. They were called the Mc Ponalds.

Wonder what Pinkie was doing at Hayburger. And is Ponyville big enough that it's something we just haven't seen before? Brings up yet again just how big the town is.
