Twilight is visiting her parents' house, her childhood home, after the Summer Sun celebration. Feeling a bit nostalgic, she realizes that she still has a bit of Zecora's flashback potion left over. Surely it couldn't hurt to relive a bit of her childhood...

The sense of nostalgia at the beginning of the story was quite calming, which provided a stark contrast to the jarring, traumatizing flashback. A cute idea that I think could have been expanded upon, but made for a great story nonetheless. Nice work.

Also, poor Twilight. That'll be a hard image to get rid of. :twilightoops:

:twilightoops:

I-I'm at a loss for words here. Rarity, help me out.

Thank you. Now, if you'll excuse me, I'm going to go write a check to Twilight for her next therapy session. Celestia knows she needs it after, well, that. :ajsleepy:

All joking aside, the story is well-written, and the concept is one worth exploring; both on a serious level and for laughs. I will say, however, that this is not really my kind of humor, and the genre tag could be seen as misleading. Overall, not too shabby. :pinkiesmile:

I'm guessing Twi's going to be asking Celestia if there's a spell for eye and brain bleach.

Seems Twilight relived, shall we say, a very formative moment in her life.

.... Did I approve this? How did I not notice the author?

There's always the chance that a glimpse of the past will show you something you don't want to see, but I guess she hadn't conceived such a notion...

Hai :heart:
Funny to find you on the one story in months I could be bothered to read. You may not recognise me, but I know you and you know me.
Then again, you probably read a lot, so my point is moot :fluttershyouch:

Awesome work JT (Applelight here)

3538079
I get around a little bit, yeah. :pinkiesmile: But looking through your list of stories reminded me of why your user name sounded familiar, and checking out the comments on one of them brought back some more details...

3538053
:facehoof: Read the story again.

Pfftahahahahahaha, good job Twi. The question is, was that HER conception, or Shiny's? ;)

3538053 You're not very observant, are you?

I dun lol'd hard, so EVIL XD

3538190

Shiny was already around. Note the reference to his toys scattered all over the floor when the vision first starts.

3538205 Missed that. Guess I'm not the most observant either!

THINGS DID NOT GO ACCORDING TO PLAN. :x

What was seen cannot be unseen!

Poor Twilight. No one should have to go through that! :facehoof:

What Twilight wouldn't give for the ability to stab out her mind's eye right about now :twilightoops:

Wait, people are actually bitching about how the potion looked like cum? Christ, what's wrong with everybody? Get yo minds outta the gutter! ...Seriously. :facehoof:

In the words of Nathan Explosion:
"The fact that my parents had sex in order to create me makes me want to be buried alive"

3538398 Why is there no 'Black Mage in Equestria' fic? The world is a poorer place without it.

Off topic, if anyone wants to make an anti-Mane Six, they ought to be patterned after the Light Warriors.

3538812 You realize, of course, that now that you've said that, someone is writing that very fic as we speak :rainbowlaugh:

Reference GET :pinkiehappy:

3538004 Yeah, it usually isn't my type of humor either. I actually asked my proofreaders if I thought I could get away with not having a comedy tag, and they thought that the bulk of the story was serious enough I could leave it off. Mainly I didn't want to give away the twist by having a giant comedy tag at the top of the story. I think it's better if you don't see it coming.

3538049 I don't know. :rainbowwild:

3538812 Great, now I can't get Red Mage and his attempts at animal husbandry out of my head. :ajbemused:

Saw that coming, still chuckled.

3538117 Shh, my cover!
I might finally edit that novel of mine. I'd forgotten how shitty it actually is in the beginning. I can probably get it up to EQD (status) before christmas.

Now we have an origin story!
3539285
Maybe Twilight did too.

3538812
I've seen a couple fics (can't remember the names off hand) that feature Vivi, the Blk mage from FFIX.

3538038
It makes sense: the flashback potion takes you back to the root of the situation. So Twilight, nostalgic for home and her childhood, went right back to the moment it all started... :twilightoops:

Congrats on the feature :twilightsmile: (only with Mature off, but still)

Also, you missed a golden pun opportunity by not calling it Fleshback :derpytongue2:

Sequel: Twilight somehow ends up walking in on Cadance and Shining Armor.

I knew what the flashback would be before I even read this, but it was still funny nonetheless. :twilightsmile:

3540230 That would have given away the :twistnerd:, though.

My little brother caught my parents doing...that.....any time they would touch afterwards, he would start screeching. I'd say Twilight's handling it pretty well.

I dunno... it's funny, but not the kind of funny you could hinge a story off of.

I mean, you might as well go for broke and have her find out her old room was her parent's sex dungeon, really bring down the hammer on nostalgia.

Ya know....if this had had a comedy tag....I would have liked it a lot better.

But I expected something thoughtful and introspective....only to be greeted by the sight of Twilight's parents fucking......:pinkiesick:

If I wanted to read about that, I'd turn on the mature tag....

Reminds me of Click. You know the part where Adam Sandler decides to watch "the making of" with his remote.

coulda been worse, she could have seen her own birth.

3541163

Gotta agree. This felt like it was headed somewhere interesting, and then it's the old "My parents had sex to make me! Eww!" joke.

3541148 Yeah, I see what you mean. I probably could've gone further with it, but honestly I don't think the joke is so good that I'd want to drag it out for much longer than I did. At some point I would like to do a serious story about how the whole "alicorn" thing affected Twilight's relationship with her parents, but I was in the mood to do something goofy.

3541163 Yeah, I wavered a bit on whether to include a comedy tag or not. I eventually decided to forgo it because having it on there would lessen the impact. But now that the cat's out of the bag I might add one.

While I think this was a superbly executed and hilarious joke, it really needs a comedy tag. The comedy tag would not have given away anything and would have avoided ticking off all those poor people that don't have a sense of humor.

That said, I was absolutely dying for almost 5 minutes after I realized what had happened.

3542346 I went ahead and added it.

...:pinkiegasp:
What just happened?

:rainbowlaugh: : BOW CHICKA BOW WOW!!!!!!!!!!!!

3538549 DETHKLOK! haha that was the perfect reaction vid :rainbowlaugh:

Twilight should look on the bright side. At least she walked in on her parents! What if she'd walked in on her mom with the milkcolt or something?! At least she now knows for an absolute certainty that her parents are her parents. Not that she has any reason to doubt that but still, now she knows for sure, that's something good at least.:twilightsheepish:

Nothing more scarring then walking in on your parents do the nasty:facehoof: :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh: I would be screaming in fear
