Damn thats creepy, good job

Holy...

Brilliantly creepy story mate.

Welp, thanks for giving me the inspiration to get on with 'Mother'. Similar context, Celly is insane, everyone is gone, and the only thing alive is a young boy who appears out of nowhere.

Cue insane Celestia who thinks she's his mother.

Ahem, never mind that. Great story, here, have a thumb up!

Thanks! I thought everyone was going to downvote it.

How sad. This needs a tragedy tag...

Must... Resist... Urge... To type.... Gman quote

Makes me think of the "Destruction Path" from Armored Core: For Answer, in which the ending is you take down the Cradles and become the biggest monster in history. You kill everyone on the Cradles, and the world was already fucked up due to a previous war, so it resembles this fic's setting very well... Just with some stuff still alive.

Overall, kudos. This fic was amazing.

Damn. This story really depress the hell out of me. T_T

Rise and shine, Mr. Freeman. Rise and...shine...

Then I did well.

The right man in the wrong place can make all the difference in the world. So, wake up Mr. Freeman. Wake up and Smell the Ashes...


Best quote ever

*shivers* ookh.

Creepy story. Just creepy.

4158901
Personally, I think it's one of my weaker fics.

4158907
You still did well regarding the concept.
I'd like to see more added or another story surrounding one of the survivors, personally.

4158919
In your opinion, what was the best part?

4158921
The best part is the delusional mindset Celestia has. You captured that very well. As for a specific part I really liked,

Celestia rolls her eyes. “Alright, fine!” Anything to get the Voice off her back.

“Twilight, could you please pick up that scrap of paper right there?”

Nothing. The ponniquen just stood there.

"Twilight, please pick up that scrap of paper.” Celestia says, a bit harder this time.

Still nothing.

Celestia’s voice grows stern. “Twilight, I order you to pick up that piece of paper!”

The ponniquen refuses her request again. Something inside Celestia snaps.

"Twilight Sparkle, you will pick up that piece of paper or I will personally throw you in the dungeons!”

Once again, the ponniquen ignores her.

For half an eye-blink, a fog lifts from Celestia’s mind. She sees the world for what it truly is, not the facade that her shattered mind has built for her.

Celestia opens her mouth to gasp...and the fog quickly returns.

This one scene really edifies her insanity.

Rise and shine Miss Celestia... Wake up and smell the ashes

Not... To imply you've been.... Sleeping on the job.

Okay, I'll stop.

Very sad and creepy.
Great Job!:twilightsmile:

Well that was utterly horrifying and depressing :pinkiesick:

Really great. I believe you deserve more views. I would like to see a story about that poor survivor and perhaps her group...if she has one.
Only two questions though.

1. That voice in Celestia's head. Exactly what was it? Her Sanity calling? just want to know for clarity's sake.

If you could expand... I want to see the end... possible regain of sanity or... something more

4159916
You might call it a "chunk" of her- a part of her mind that still remains sane.

4159199 Nopony is more deserving of a rest than you.

Very very nice.. Loved this..

I wonder if she would commit suicide upon fully realising what happened.. :applejackunsure:

Well ... this was ... depressing ... I think we need an epilogue.
Poor Tia. :fluttershysad:

Jesus that was dark. Like, sealed underground bunker dark. 5 *the darkness swallows all things, devours all, consumes all. Mercy is a lie, the darkness creeps closer out of 5

I was wondering what happened to Luna if Celestia survived. Though now I need to go take a nice long hot bath and try to get this story off my mind for a little while. Also, with the voice did anyone else have a Pinkie/Pinkamena vibe? Last thing, was Luna's suicide the last straw for Celestia or was she already insane before?

that mental image of luna hanging herself....

that mental image of luna hanging herself....

Dem feels. You owe me a new feel bucket.

Now that I've actually read it, I have to say. Jesus Christ, that was dark:twilightoops:

4161368
I apologize for that.:fluttershysad:

i saw a movie once like this but i forgot the name

it was as equally depressing:raritydespair::pinkiesad2::fluttercry::fluttershysad:

Feather Duster?

Seems to me that she is a reoccurring character here.

4161693
Seemed like a good name for a maid.

4161689
Its "I am legend", Will smith sets up a town of people out of mannequins and gives them names and stuff.

Also wanted to say i loved this and wish to see more.:pinkiehappy:

Just reminded me of this before I read, but now I see they're rather different

PC

Wait, Celestia killed Applejack?! :applejackconfused::fluttercry::raritycry:

This is a great depressing story. But I have to ask, who was the pony that Celestia 'played tagged with'? was it a random pony or was it one of the mane 6? Either way, this is a nice depressing story :fluttershyouch:

It'd be even more disturbing if Celestia went crazy before the apocalypse and actually caused it... :pinkiecrazy:

She whips her head around to to see a mangy, orange earth pony mare walking towards her.

Applejack?

I really liked this, despite all the typos and grammatical errors. I may be bias since I have liked the idea of characters snapping and just going insane, retreating into their delusions to save themselves the horror of actually dealing with life. The revelation that Luna killed herself makes me wonder if she had to deal with an insane Celestia or if her death was what finally pushed Celestia into the abyss. A dead Luna always makes me sad as well. I can deal if she is not there, but having killed herself. :fluttershysad:
