Before you criticize someone, you should walk a mile in their shoes. That way, when you criticize them, you're a mile away and you have their shoes.

Deciding that Fluttershy did such a great job with Discord, Celestia sends King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Gilda to Ponyville to be cured of their villainous ways. All of this as Ponyville runs to win 'nicest village of the year' award for the thirteenth time running, while trying not to win the 'most disaster prone village of the year' award. Discord couldn't be more amused.

It's a hectic time for the mane six and a terrible time to be the mayor of Ponyville.

Oh man, that concept is gold. Can't wait to read it.

“Hey, hey!” Applejack interrupted, pointing to the first Fluttershy and glaring at her. “Alright you
“Iron Will, but I quickly learned that was not the proper way to act,” the first Fluttershy answered, holding her nose up in the air.

Something's missing here..

Nice to see you putting it out, man.

I'm looking forward to the rest of it.

Thanks for pointing it out. Gdocs porter is a right unfair lady sometimes.
Original line to clear things up:

“Hey, hey!” Applejack interrupted, pointing to the first Fluttershy and glaring at her. “Alright you, who taught you to be too assertive?”

“Iron Will, but I quickly learned that was not the proper way to act,” the first Fluttershy answered, holding her nose up in the air.

If anyone else spots something amiss, be sure to drop a line and I'll fix the deleted/misformated bit asap.

No problem! Gdocs converter does love being.... difficult. And I didn't see anything else while I was reading. Definitely interested in what you've got going here. Got another fave and like from me.

glad to hear it :twilightsmile:
I've already got some pretty good plans for what the next chapters will be, each being its own 'minific' focusing on one of the villains.
They should be a bit better, too! Since I wrote this first chapter quite a while ago and only now got around to making it ready to post.

Hey, uh, why couldn't Spike eat the crystal blocking the way out? Or at least weaken the base so they can push it over? Or at least take a bite out of it so he can have a treat without wasting one of Rarity's sapphires?

And does anyone else find it strange that of the three, the only one who wasn't a leader of an entire nation made the leader of the trio?

I have not read yet, but I can already say with great self-assurance: Poor Fluttershy. :fluttershbad:

I can see it now....

Celestia: Well Fluttershy, I'm sure you can handle all these villains. I'm off to eat cake and troll the nobility! :trollestia:

Fluttershy: Oh... ok... :fluttershysad:

This is exactly the fanfic I've been asking for for YEARS. THANK YOU.

How exactly will Flutershy be reforming Gilda? She's not exactly a villain. A jerk yes, but no villain. Poor Flutershy, Celestia plans on sending her the third of her own kingdom plus any citizen of other nations she's able to kidnap and get away with.

Celestia dumping villins on fluttershy >>>:trollestia:

Fluttershy being ok with it >>>:fluttershysad:

Me trying to hold in laughter >>> :rainbowkiss::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::facehoof::facehoof::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss::fluttershyouch::rainbowkiss::rainbowkiss:

This certainly looks promising. Adding to my read later list until it's updated more.

Hilarious! Though I've never really counted Gilda as a villain per say.

Celestia sends King Sombra, Queen Chrysalis, and Gilda to Ponyville to be cured of their villainous ways.

:pinkiehappy:
Sounds like a great concept- adding it to my "read it later".

Well, I'd say Gilda is more of a rival than villain, but eh, let's see where this goes.

4111730
Well, I certainly assumed so. You didn't think I was complaining, did you? :pinkiegasp: I used the smiling Pinkie face and everything. :pinkiesad2:

large, beady, and hopeful eyes

'Beady' by definition means small, so you've basically said 'her large, small and hopeful eyes.'

Sombra was, unfortunately for a villain, rather terrible at evil monologues. However, even more unfortunately, he never knew when to stop.

Ironic, considering he talked less than Big Mac in the show :derpytongue2:

Gilda pinched the bridge of her beak. “I can’t believe I cheated off your tests at flight school.”

RD: "Wait... you did? But I was copying off of YOU."
Gilda: "That... explains a lot about why our grades were so awful..."

4111859
Couldn't tell whether you knew it was intentional or not, but yeah, you got it :raritywink:

I read that as "Fluttershy's House of Virgins" :rainbowlaugh: Just for that, this goes on my Read Later list.

Wow, I really like where this is going so far! :pinkiehappy: Love the personality you gave Sombra! :rainbowlaugh:

So. That backfired. Is "the ultimate attack of a group of four or greater is not allowed to be interrupted, except in the case of timed movements" also in the Book of Villainy? Which I want by the way.

Technically it's an oxymoron. A paradox could be true, but an oxymoron breaks the language.:twistnerd:

so far, so good.:pinkiehappy:

I can totally see Trollestia sternly tossing an average delinquent into a prisoner transport with a pair of OP supervillains on the basis that they're all associated with her little National Defense Squad, and believing this to be a perfectly logical rationale.

their chuckling grew to a maniacal laughter that sent a chill down the spine of every vertebrate living in the Everfree.

That's a good line, yessirree.

Critique: The cave-in scene pulled me out of the story a little. There are seven characters in it (as there should be, which is awesome), yet all but one was mentioned in any capacity. Being presumably seated on Twilight's back, it would've made a ton more sense for Spike to split crystal-spotting duty with Dash...especially since, in both instances, he and the two most important ponies in his life were the ones in peril, and he was in a better position to see falling stalactites. Then, throughout the fireball sequence, he was given about as much personality and involvement as a saddlebag; odd again, since he was Sombra's focus. Both are small issues that are to be expected of the brony fandom, but they still pushed me away.

4112163
Someone has to inject some character into Sombra, even if the writers of the show won't!

I decided to take the natural extension of his character from the show in that he's an extremely vanilla villain. He's a traditionalist who plays by the villain's rulebook, and so he's endlessly tormented by his inability to complete monologues effectively.

You're right. It wasn't intentional that I forgot about Spike. Somewhere in writing that action sequence I just forgot, since he was riding on someone else's back. I'll go ahead and do some edits there.

I was wondering, did you get the name idea from "Mickey's House of Villains?"

4113678 From what I understand, few people actually "intend" to forget Spike, it's just that he doesn't provide the same neurological sugar rush of feminine cuteness that the ponies do, so they pick and choose the juiciest characters to enjoy, thus treating the cast like a salad bar.

Why Gilda? Was she a villain?

4113909 well ,no i thinck she just wanted to visit dash and maybe pinkie got in the way of that? i forgoten havent watched mlp in 1 year

4113909

more of a jerk than a villain
but you always need 3 of a Kind

so the two guards were fired? that makes sense if they lost two villains and a jerk or were they just left where twilight told them to stay?

4115235 I think they just run off to get out of stable duty.

4115295 desertion then lol thats going to be a worse punishment than stable duty if they get caught

4115301 If someone will bother looking for them in the first place. Still, it seems stable duty is considered the worst kind of military punishment in Equestian royal army(?). Actually does Equestria have a an army? It kinda seems there's only a bunch of royal guards parading around being useless and all.

4115320 if cannon and fannon go together then supposedly its been a thousand years since the last war that s a long time for peace and any army would go soft after that long so no i dont think there is an army the guard is just for show with maybe the most basic of basics of military training like how to use a shield and spear and maybe some combat magic for the unicorns and some tricks for the pegasi and earth ponies i can only think of somehow channeling their strength into a center point

I take it Trixie isn't there because she already got a clue?

4115391 no wonder every villain rolls over the royal guards and their captain like a buldozer. Definetly explains Crystal Empire episode.

Please tell me that Discord gets in on this, too. Seeing as he loves chaos and is friends with Fluttershy, he'd want to see this.

I see where this is going...

May I have the honor of putting this story in my group, Villainous Redemption? I've been looking for stories like this and I'm glad that I found it :pinkiehappy:

>>>“Don’t worry, Fluttershy! I’m sure the Princess wouldn’t send us anyone we can’t handle.”>>>

Meanwhile, Celestia counts her giant pile of money she received from the Jewsians who control the intergalatic Fargle network in return to sending yet another potential calamity into the lives of the stars of the new most popular show after "Earth": "My Little Apocalypse: Insane Ponies are Magic".

:trollestia::trollestia::trollestia::trollestia:

4115391 And now that Twilight has emerged, villains and warfare pop out EVERYWHERE every couple of weeks!

Twilight is the Omen. :twilightoops:

The title alone makes me think of this:

I realize that was probably intentional. Oh well.

Oh my yes. This is fantastic! Definitely looking forward to more!

Please keep writing, I'll keep reading!
