I am running from something I'm becoming, but becoming one means I'm running from all I am.

Twilight pays a visit to an old friend, but not all is as it seems.
Why is she so sad? Who is the pony that is causing her to feel this way?

What is this and why was I unaware of its existence?

Dammit, Discord!
Uh... ... .................... :facehoof:
DAMMIT CELESTIA!
Lols

Emotional range too varied... Commencing system restart...
Have my usual thumb and star, sir. You've done it. You've mixed your darkness with your comedy and churned out something quite unique.

Saddest story ever... o/

brain.exe has stopped functioning...

Darkness and Comedy at the same time. Well done. :twilightsmile:

Honestly, I have never read anything quite like this before. That's about all I can say, really. It was... odd. Not bad, by any means, just odd.

And I just realized the title foreshadows the twist.

:pinkiegasp::pinkiecrazy::fluttercry::pinkiecrazy:
My reaction in Emoticons.

Well... there's still Spike in case an element goes missing.

Well...that was rather....sudden!

Trollestia gets trolled hard for her years of trolling!:trollestia:


(poor Twilight)

What is this I don't even.

You legitimately surprised me with your twists, and I applaud seeing a Random fic that doesn't involve absurdities like a tornado composed of exploding fruit or something.

Though I think it would have been a little better had Twilight and the others just been trolling Celestia back, but then that would also be less random.

what the fuck is wrong with you

What the actual frak. And you can quote me on that.

~Doc

WTHeck.

Uh...

Upvoted.

I love Twilight a lot but I just cant help but continue laughing my ass off at the end there.:rainbowlaugh:

I didn't see the random tag, i'm glad I didn't. :rainbowlaugh:

My face when reading your comment:

But anyways, thank you. I was going for "different" when I wrote it, and it seems like most people think I achieved it with some manner of skill.
Just... uhhh... don't stay broken too long.... :twilightblush:

3869765
I've written sadder. At least that's what people tell me.

3869794
I broke you too? Noooooooooooo... I'm so sorry.
Thank you.

3870180
I have never seen anything like this written before, so naturally, I had to try. :pinkiecrazy:
I hope you enjoyed it, at least.

3870234
Tee-hee. :yay:

3870244
All of my yes. Spike is now the new Element of Magic
*Headcanon established*

3870267
Yup, yup, yup!

3870284
This is me.
Me doing stuff.
:moustache:

And I did think about making it a prank like you said, but I thought it would be even more funny/random if it wasn't.

3870297
A great many things.

3870388
:yay::rainbowlaugh:
I just might.

:trollestia:

3870974
Yay!

3871520
Oh, dear. :facehoof:

"Honesty: it saves lives!"

Pfft, yeah, he'll just pull another plot twist...

...

:fluttershysad: right?

[+1]'d ♥

I have no idea what to think of that. :pinkiecrazy:

3872292
:trollestia:
You never know.

3874196
You know what? Me neither.

3871999

So you became Rainbow Dash and laughed? :pinkiegasp:

3874656
I'm a wizard. :moustache:
I can do that.

Ah, good ol' dark comedy.

3874768 I know sadly not that many people get that right in this day and age. So sad. :pinkiesad2:

I'm sorry, I haven't a clue what I just read. I'm pretty sure I enjoyed it, though. I don't want to think about it too hard in case I spend the rest of the day doing nothing else. :rainbowhuh:

3874768
I know, right? There can never be enough.

3874827
Did I get it right? :fluttercry:

3874948
:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

3874642 All I can say is... Well played, sir. Well played.

3875159
Thank you, that's always nice to hear. :twilightsmile:

Yyyyyeah I just did not like this. I was with you up until that ending. Then I just...no.

3875310
Honestly, what did you expect from a story with a random tag titled "Not What It Seems"? I'm curious.

3875320 Stories tagged "Random" usually do not end with the author trolling the readers with a completely bullshit ending. The "It was just a play" thing was fine. The REAL ending was bullshit. :ajbemused:

3875337
:unsuresweetie: No need to compare the ending of my story to cattle manure just because you didn't like it. Plenty of other people did.

But as always, each reader is entitled to his own opinion.

3875366 Sorry. Guess I just don't find someone literally dying from disappointment all that amusing.

3875373
That's understandable, and thank you for your thoughts.

3875118 I believe you did. Good job.

I believe you're missing the Comedy tag.

Cause that last part just made me laugh.

.....wat........ I MUST HAVE A LIKE :pinkiecrazy:

:rainbowhuh: Okay seriously, should I laugh or cry?

3875840
Yes. That.

3876565
I didn't think it was that funny. :twilightblush:

3876582
:yay:

3876830
Yes. Yes you should.

...

the fuck?

I just...

what?

3879573

I must bow down to your insanity, I guess.

3892864
How dare you boop me? How dare you.

3892879

How dare I INDEED? Who do I think I am? Why, if I were anyone else, I'd take me outside for a beating, oh yes I would. In point of fact, why don't I prove it using you. C'mon, I promise I won't be too rough.

unless you like it that way.

Plot twist! Oh wait that already happened like 35872393 times.

3903326
Welllllll... yes, actually. Would you like another?
