A legit message to all the Lazarus readers. · 4:24am Dec 14th, 2013
I apologize, for my actions and I must say that, Celestia and Luna have no idea what's going on. Which is reasonable on why they would throw the humans out, if you were a world leader sitting in your chair listening to an alien race (That appeared out of nowhere on three ships) you don't know why they're here, nor how they react. And next thing you know one of your subordinates walk in, and these aliens start flipping shit. They almost accidentally shoot you, they try to arrest your own subordinate in front of you even though this is your kingdom and your laws. Cutting you off every time you try to speak, out right disrespecting you. What? And if you say that you would let them try and kill someone (That they can't even kill! And they know it too!) What? You're going to let them try and explain themselves?
If so you would make a terrible and incompetent ruler. If you don't like how this story is going, either leave some logical and construction criticism if not down vote it and move on. I'm sorry but having the humans come to make peace and then having them shoot up their castle is incompetent on the human's behalf. I'm sorry but that's how it is, I'm not changing the story. I'll continue down the path I'm going, will I admit to a few mistakes I made? Of course not allowing Angela to speak for their case is a mistake.
But then again you must take into account that this a race of creatures that have never experienced anything like this before. They never fully experienced full on genocide, or weapons that can blew large gaping holes in walls. They never met humans in their life. That is also why I have the Mech invading the city, if you haven't realized I'm pulling the cliche redemption card. (spoiler if you weren't thinking hard enough about that.) Why? Because one it allows me to continue the story in the right direction (if you thought the story was about mankind just living along side Equestrians and rebuilding your wrong, if you don't want to read my story any more I suggest you go read the story Rise of the Fallen.)
Also by the way if you wondering why Celestia and Luna haven't been notified about the mech, it's because the story was taking place moments before the actual mech's arrival! In all honesty I didn't even think I had to even state that! I really thought you all would know that, all I'm stating here is I'm no longer following any of your suggestions. I will continue to follow your criticism. What I mean is when you all suggested for me to have the humans go berserk I did it... look where it got me. Writing a blog post having to explain my actions, to you adoring readers (who can be a huge pain the ass at times) why I did something that all of you wanted me to do!
So I'll say this, humans get to pull a redemption card, Celestia and Luna are speaking with Discord to learn what happened. Humans will get to state their reason. And the mech is not a robot, there is a difference. By that there's a human driving it. Also there are no more nuclear weapons (HA!) so no nuclear war. At least the Horizon crew doesn't have any.
So in the end, the humans are incompetent, the princesses were too nice. Shit I could've had Celestia send them to the moon!
:[-]:
Yeah shoot first ask questions later#Iraq war was great.
You think these blog explanations will calm my rage? YOU THINK THIS IS ENOUGH TO PACIFY ME!?
AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!
Okay, I'm good.
Anyway, Discord may be a subordinate, but he has a criminal history. I think Celestia and Luna had to hate Discord a lot to freeze him in stone for 1000 years. Or they just love unequal retribution, which I could see. And the humans could just bombard the planet with asteroids.
But you're right that it does kind of make sense. Discord's criminal history is 1000 years old, and Celestia thinks the humans just came from some other place on the planet. Really there shouldn't have been a whole squadron of guards accompanying Angela, especially with the weak weaponry ponies had. If anything, that was the humans' mistake. Celestia and Luna's mistake was not allowing Angela to speak. There were mistakes on both parts, but it was realistic.
So, since the scenario's unfair, everyone's gonna scream in righteous anger, but they'll probably calm down once the retribution thing happens.
Edit: I would love to see Celestia/Luna learning what Discord did though. Especially if they could experience it fully like from reading a memory. And I'm curious if Discord could argue his innocence, or whether he actually is innocent.
Oh yeah, Celestia can't actually send ponies to the moon, she requires the elements to do that. You can get a good look at Celestia/Luna's fighting power in the season four opener, and I think they'd probably have some trouble against the incoming mech. If they had the elements though... I've seen those things effect all of Ponyville, and maybe more, after fighting Discord.
Still want world ending righteousness.

And world ending righteousness you will receive.

I'm glad that you can see it the same way. Also the moon sending part was a joke stating that, "Hey, I could've done worse."
Good job DN you had to EXPLAIN IN SUCH OBVIOUSNESS for the readers who cant think about the larger picture (Why the humans were expelled from equestria) You didnt do it because you felt like being a dick but because you thought like celestia and luna would with rationality and who is more worthy of their... Siding given how the HUMIES reacted.Yet the audiance missed it. This proves that human stupidity is too large for the Universe to fit in so its super condensed into those readers. :P
Yeah Its their falt
Dude, you don't have to explain yourself. Never ever bend so far as to make a blog post to clarify what you've written about! You clarify it in following chapters, in conversations between characters and actions that move the plot forward or reveal certain truths!

I'm mostly just telling my readers I'm no longer following what they want, which is the mistake I made in trying to please them. But in the end had it coming around and biting me on the ass.
I didn't think anything needed explaining. Every characters actions made sense. The only thing that didn't make sense was the mech and that was cleared up fairly quickly. Good job with the story and hope you end up liking your own creation.

Thank god my brother out bidded (not word I think) you, now I need to bug out and find a different position.
Sadly, I agree. My fellow homo sapiens in this particular fic dropped the ball, and got what can be expected for it.
Yeeeaah, I'm gonna call incompetence on both human and princessy sides here. The only team that really seems to know what it's doing is Discord. I would elaborate, but it's late, I'm tired, and I have to get up early tomorrow. Maybe I'll explain my position later.
