CartsBeforeHorses


Put the cart before the horse, mix things up, and look at them in a different way.

The mane six find a golden horseshoe with an odd inscription written on it. Curious, they each try it on and discover that it temporarily turns them into exaggerated versions of who everypony else thinks they really are. Twilight turns into a nerd, Applejack turns into an ignorant redneck, etc. Realizing the horseshoe is too dangerous, Rainbow tries to dispose of it. But she hides it in an obvious spot, and now the horseshoe has fallen into the hooves of other ponies...

This was awesome.

Brilliant! Would LOL again!:pinkiehappy:

The moment where zecora started mentioning the westside was glorious. Mentioning Hasbro was so much laughter. I am still curious what happend if Pinkie Pie tried it on... Oh well, probaly the end of the universe or something. Or she would actually directly announce to the audience how she is an out of hoof slaughterhouse maniac who killed Rainbow Dash in another timeline. That would be great. And oh Blueblood, you silly. The moon was just the cherry on it all. Too amused to notice that you used the wrong "their" and misplaced comma's. Wait, I saw that? *slams his face into the keyboard* (which is harder than it sounds since I am using an Apple Iphone right now). I really am a Grammar Nazi huh...

Gah.

I have to admit, this is the sort of fic I hate the most: the sort that has such great potential, but is just NOPE LOL powerbombed off a fucking bridge by poor handling.

You have a great premise, but just took a left turn at HUEHUEHUEHUE MUST MAEK TEH LULZ and made it entirely boring and not funny to read in the slightest.

2872158 I'm sorry you didn't like it. I also write serious stories too, you know, so it's not like I'm incapable of being serious.

You missed the chance to mention bananas.:trollestia:
Well done, though. And Pinkie Pie probably would have broken it, ending the spell on it. She breaks the 4th wall often enough...

Also, I loved that Apple Bloom was immune to it. *insert reallylikehermane here*

The characters...are acting a bit out of character; and I mean even when they're not wearing the Golden Horseshoe. But I suppose that's this story's way of bending the Canon... Aaaanyway; great idea and a job well done! Faved to see where this'll go.

A good laugh! (Thanks)
But somehow the characters are acting out of place, even without the horseshoe.

"Let's just hope this isn't like that one episode, The Naked Now,"

And now my sides are somewhere on the moon. Thanks.

“ATTEMPTING TO STEAL ROYAL PROPERTY? There will have to be repercussions for this,”

Oh hey, maybe they can find my sides!

Look at how high I can jump!

*snicker*

“Well, um, success? Do we have our cutie marks yet?” Scootaloo asked. They each turned around and checked their flanks, but didn’t have their cutie marks, because if they did, they’d lose any and all appeal as characters. Though then again, since Hasbro turned Twilight into an alicorn, I guess all bets are off as to what they might do with these three.

You sir, are the messiah. :rainbowlaugh:

The part with Zecora made me laugh. not gonna lie. Also, I think it would have been better if you had gotten down Luna's Shakespearean speech down right, and then completely exaggerated it when she put the shoe on -kero.

This story was honestly kind of... Meh. I know that's not a very exact feedback, but I can't really put my finger on a better way of describing it. I feel glad to have read it, but I also feel somewhat disappointed by reading it. Maybe because their "seen personalities" don't exactly match up with my own thoughts, or because the ponies don't seem to be that judgmental to where they would so strongly characterize and assume things about those around them like many of us humans do. I don't know. I'm not happy, but i'm not sad either -kero. :unsuresweetie:

I wonder what if pinkie or spike had the horseshoe:pinkiehappy:
also gotta love cute little derpy:derpytongue2:
And as for the moon :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

I find myself agreeing with KeroKero a bit. Luna's Shakespearean speech should have been exaggerated, and bonus points if she had been exceedingly socially awkward. I also feel like Tyrant Celestia doesn't fit the scene either; maybe like, overly nice or something. It's supposed to be how others see them after all, and so Celestia being a tyrant just doesn't make sense. Blueblood maybe even just being incredibly arrogant and pompous rather than evil.

I dunno. To quote KeroKero, I feel "meh" about it, too. :duck:

This is hilarious! Thank you. :pinkiehappy:

Well, temperamental Celestia is preferable to Molestia any day.

Wait, Blueblood is the only male in the banished group. A whole group of females...

An excellent mix between piss‐take on how the characters are stereotyped by the fandom, and the glaring faults in MLP that everyone but the people making it can see. Read, up‐voted, fav’d, followed, and downloaded for future reference.

Huh… and to think that if you hadn’t been butthurt about not getting enough attention I would never have seen this … the moral of the story is “air your butthurt in public more often”, I guess? :unsuresweetie:

Spike responded, chuckling, "Twi, you sound like Info the android from Solar Journey: The Next Incarnation."

Data does not talk like that! He acts much more like a real human.
