It's Impossible, Dapper! v.2 · 7:40pm Aug 10th, 2015
Time to travel down the rabbit hole and see how far it goes. I never was one to believe that some things are meant for human eyes because the truth is too scary or some crap like that. The power of thought and logic goes hand in hand with this because it cuts through all of the lies and fabrications were told. What if, though, it changed all of reality? Twilight, per usual chaotic quota, destroys the MLPverse. By Celestia's beard...
Magic has always been seen as the ultimate trump card to explain everything. Literally, everything. Bad weather? Pegasi magic. Healthy crops, earth pony magic. For everything else? Master Ca- Unicorn's magical abilities. Twilight decides to delve into the every growing questions and inapplicability that is magic and how it works. Hey, we've all wanted to know what's the theories to how Equestria works. Thus begins a complete breakdown of the laws of magical physics as science and magic clash within Twilight's head.
Normally, she'd find something to solve her problems with magic but since she's deemed it impossible, the impossible does in-fact happen. Seeing as there is no plausibility for a pony to have magic, she quickly loses all of her abilities. Now, this would've sent up a red flag for anyone when what their entire life has been about to stop and seek medical attention. Or maybe Celestia/Luna or if you're really desperate, Discord. Sorry but Twilight keeps chugging down the 'Should've stopped while I was ahead' rail line on this train of thought. Disproving her own magic wasn't enough as she takes out pegasus magic next. Rainbow Dash finds herself ground when Twilight shows her that without any undeniable proof that tiny, pony wings aren't capable of keeping them aloft.
Coming into the home stretch, our purple librarian takes the biggest jump by destroying Princesses' control over the sun and moon. Good thing she already wiped out all the magical creatures afterwards. Now, I expected the apocalypse involve much more fire, city's being torn to the ground and for us to finally discover who made Discord. Sadly, none of these do. More and more layers of the world's core mechanics are stripped away, leaving none of the mystical fluff that gave us so many reasons to laugh and enjoy it all.
I find a deep, almost hysterical meaning in all of this. A lot of popular writers through in logic and critical facts in their works. What gets me though if we did put all of those ideas in, how much fun would the show be then? How many of us would continue to watch if we made it as real as we wanted it? Take a step back and remember that it's a kid show we're watching with a cast that likes the older fans. Most people wish to lay a foundation as to how this world should work rather than keep with canon. To a certain extent I've done this as well in some of my own stories but I keep most of Equestria's nature the same. It doesn't seem as much fun if we take away from the nonsensical madness and sheer unpredictability of our favorite cartoon.
Now while this is a comedy story, I feel like the idiot ball is being hefted around quite a bit. Ironic due to the fact how much logic and research that's being conducted by Twilight. This is the one major fault that I find with this particular work. Its funny in a absurd way by making sense, to us as the readers. Taking apart the world you live in to comprehend everything? Way over the borderline madness. Twilight is smart but this just goes above any beyond to her present methods, save for that instance when she decided to use the Want-It-Need-It spell.
Final Judgement: 8.5/10. Out of most works that tend to destroy the nation of Equestria, this little spoof is a golden nugget that stands out by the sheer simplicity of it all. While I find the plot a bit absurd with nopony conking Twilight over the head with a empty cider bottle to shut her up, it was entertaining. Keeping an open is good, when it causes rifts in the universe, just let some crap go.
