I didn't see any typos, but typo spotting is tough with tears in your eyes.
In before someone can make a Sparta Joke.
Also, How soon can we expect Steeplepaste to be given a Nightmarish Reformation from his shitty attitude that would like completely destroy any credibility his father has as a Behavioral Specialist if word about it got around too much? I know he wasn't mentioned in this chapter but Luna and the Myrmidons that can do shit to dreams was mentioned so I must know.

I've gained an immunity to crying while reading fics. I ain't heartless or soulless, just immune. Still can be killed by excessive amounts of adorable though.
But I hate Cheese Sandwich.
I like Wierd Al...but I just hate, hate, hate Cheese.
Maybe because the only episide he was in was really, really silly.
That, and I am not a huge Pinkie fan.
I await the downvotes. Bring 'em on!

Pre-emptive upvote for the sake of love and tolerance.
*doubletake* NINE HUNDRED THOUSAND WORDS?! You're on fast track to take the throne from Diaries of a Madman, given that this is the 8th longest on the site.
Holy crap dude.
........... your answer to this was cupcakes pinkie pie? seriously?
also if you noticed, NONE of the elements are stable. every single virtue the elements posses has two forms of evil. the opposite and the extreme.
5324039
No silly... not Cupcakes... Party of One.
5324040 that she would become deranged or even dangerous because of bucky's laugh.
5324040 i am not understanding what was about bucky's laugh. bucky was not laughing with joy. he was laughing as a defense mechanism. he was laughing at what he was doing to protect himself from what he was doing, to protect him so he could sitll function afterwards.
ultimately his laugh was still being used for laughter's purpose- to ease burdens.
laughter's true face is altruism. think about it. everything that made pinkie pie the face of laughter had less to do about entertaining them. it all had to do with easing the burdens of their lives.
5324023
I wasn't a fan of Cheese, but at least he's not
Flash StupidBrad. Was always more of a Pinkieshy shipper. People who are TOO alike usually don't last that long, but those who are opposites with common ground can always find a happy medium. Cheese is basically Bubble Berry, so...5324023
I love cheese sandwich and his episode, but I will not downvote you. I liked it but it was quite silly. Lol
5324040 put simply, bucky's laguhter was still laughter doing its job. it was keeping him distant from what he was doing and allowed him to be able to return to his foals, and made him able to still be shaken by a dead filly.
laugther not doing its job is when it is used to 'avoid' the pain.
This is when I almost spit out my drink.
This is when my computer shorted out.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SMhwddNQSWQ I saw da reference! +20 awesome points for you Kudzuhaiku!
5324040 ...... sighs. i am trying to understand what you are doing with the laughter concept yet i just don't see where you are going with it.
little help? seriously, spirita of disharmony and all that jazz taking the form of pinkie's temporary schizophrenia........ non of this makes sense.
5324029 I feel like I'm stuck in a closet with Vannah White.
found one
the blood song ^ fills our mind during battle [that] ?
Thank you Clotho for helping bring Pinkie back to us.

I used to be like that, then I made the mistake of attempting the heinous experiment of reading both the Love Hina and Fruit Basket manga series, start to finish, over the course of about 72 hours. That is how you tear down emotional walls. If you get into reading the way i do, you will be on a constant emotional rollercoaster and there will be no relief until you have finished the ride. From then on I pretty much hitch if I start thinking about a sad part in a movie I'm watching. Don't cry, but I get that uncomfortable upwelling of "i'm getting in the mood to cry" in my gut. It really sucks. Fruit Basket alone has like 20 main characters, and each and every one of them, regardless of first impressions, actually has some absolutely horrible backstory. Love Hina has a smaller main cast and less baggage, but the series can get pretty sad. But for both series, half of the time you're laughing and you do get nice humorous closure at the end so it's alright. Doesn't help rebuild the emotional wall artillery strikes they perpetrate, but it helps.
5324040 laughter as madness........... even when i start to grasp something here it becomes less and less clear. pinkie herself is chaotic, without a doubt. the element itself........ how did you come to that decision? i am legitimately curious.
5324186
Laughter is the chaos needed to keep the rest of the elements balanced and in line. Pinkie broke. Being in Griffonholm is what broke her, Bucky was just the final tap on the cracked wall.
5324197 how is laughter chaos though? i believe all the elements have a darkness, hell the ponies hwo best wield them are six flawed mortals rather than two immortal alicorns. yet laughter being chaos.....
5324215
Pinkie is Touched. She holds a minor spirit of chaos within her. It makes her prankish.
5324215
Oh my god do you stop? Like you bitch and bitch, how about let the author do his job and explain it through a chapter. If he fucks up, he fucks up. I don't know what the hell is going on, but I'm putting my faith in the author that he'll explain to me. If he doesn't then I just leave the story alone, that simple.
5324220
You. Why don't you, I don't know. Block him like you did to the rest of the users? Block him and he won't be able to comment on this story..
5324220 she might have had a bit of chaos in her. yet the element of laughter had more to do about altruism than anything else.

5324215
Mental instability is not darkness, TwI light is OCD with paranoia and stuff, Dash has underline self esteem issues. The as are charter traits that could lead to problems as seen by each episode where these traits were showcased. But Pinky has a tendency to show rather Discord like traits, even though she manifest them in a manner that is more or less harmless. The only reason Discord was evil was that he had given into the darkness brought by power. Pinky waso good as long as she had joy in her heart, but like Bucky growing stronger as war raged around him so did the spirit of madness inside Pinky grow with the madness of war. And as the Joy was suckered from her over the long period of hate and violence something just had to give.
5324246
Says who?
Citation needed.
5324260
And somebody gets it.
5324246
that a head cannon, laughter is an emotion that fights darkness (fear and other negative emotions).
5324232
Lord really loves this story, they are just very opinionated about certain aspects of charters they like. Some of those opinions clash with the story sometimes.
5324023 I won't upvote, because Cheese Sandwich is awesome, but I won't downvote either because you at least put the disclaimer in there that you liked Weird Al.
5324215 Chaos seems to have a thing for laughter. Remember Discord laughed whenever he was doing something chaotic. Laughter is used all the time in media to depict the unstable and insane.
People often laugh when they see bad or chaotic things happen to others. Hell, comedy is usually just bad things happening to people and it gets people to laugh. Since it is something that is often created as a result from the chaotic or unexpected, it makes sense that Laughter has some connection to chaos and is possibly the least harmonious of the Elements.
I just want to put it out there that 'Dare to be stupid' is one of the worst Wired AL songs.
Is the Alicorn related to the royal sisters and does she have something to do with the fates? or is she the fate that deals with the mid part of a persons life?
5324340
She is Clotho, the earth pony, also a Fate.
5324326
WHUT?
5324354
Hahah, don't get me wrong, I love most of his songs. Just something about that one and its video just ticks me off, and not in the silly offended way, but in the this is seriously annoying kinda way.
There is something wrong with this story. I get twitches without a daily fix.
And I'd add that Laughter is more fundamentally chaos than suggested by certain people. Chaos no longer is when it grows static, which is much like a joke going stale from repetition regardless of how uproarious it started out. Nor will any two people find something perfectly hilarious the same way. It's why there is no formula for how to be funny that works reliably. Even a totally hilarious joke to someone delivered at one time gets gut-busting guffaws...but another delivery moment, may not even draw a smile.
And by Elements, I'd say Generosity has altruism covered. Laughter breaks us from stagnation, helps us keep refreshed.
5324261 observation. ......... waaay to much observation to be honest, but observation.
pinkie's self worth is to help ease burdens of others. whether it making them laugh, making them smile, helping them with a choir or activity in her own pinkie way, so on. so more along the lines of altruism in that sense, yet a laugh is meant to ease burdens.
also it goes with the whole friendship, interpersonal bonds thing and sustaining them.
so does this mean her being a bit nutty is what defines her and makes her the element of laughter, rather than her deep seeded altruism and desire to ease the burdens of others, whether it be with a laugh or a helpful gesture?
A beautiful chapter.
'at one end?'
I think the only reason I'm not making a Persona 4 joke here is because I'm after coming back from a family reunion.
5324323 the purpose of laughter is to ease burdens. a good laugh at least. a selfish laugh is that laugh gone wrong, a laugh and smile for yoruself and only yoruself.
and laughter can also be a barrier. a defensive mechanism to seperate you from your troubles or even from something horrific. such as butchering countless lives with increasing cruelty, knowing they had t obe cruel to send the message.
the element of laughter seems more about the motivation of laughter than the act of laughter or what can cause laughter.
I bet Cheese has the worst farts...
Real cheese stinks real bad ya know
5324290
There's being opinionated, and then there's just not shutting up about it. lord's been harping on the whole 'Bucky's murder laughter' broke Pinkie thing since it happened in story, and despite the NUMEROUS explanations provided he just doesn't get it and won't shut up about it.

al·tru·ism
noun
the belief in or practice of disinterested and selfless concern for the well-being of others.
If Pinky was about Altruism, we wouldn't have episodes like Too many Pinkie Pies. She wouldn't get detracted by a balloon during that one Discord episode, and she wouldn't have been so hurt during patry of one. A truly Altruistic person would have respected others need for privacy and taken the time to understand her friends desire to be away from the crazy party mare. Pinky however, is extremely self absorbed. While she has a deep desire to bring joy to others it's only because she needs that joy to reaffirmed who she is. Just how RD needs to be fast, or Rarity needs to create fashion, Pinky needs to bring joyou to others. It's selfish in a positive way.
Another wonderful chapter.
My one disappointment with the "Sunset Shimmer" inclusion was that Bucky didn't go into the Equestria Girls universe to pick her up himself. On the other hand, he may have had a run in with his human counterpart: http://en.m.wikipedia.org/wiki/Buckminster_Fuller
I suppose we can't have _everything_ we want. Keep up the excellent work!
5324448 Maybe we could have one of those Q&A sessions with the characters and have Cheese Sandwich and Garlic Van der Grease compete.
5324457
yes he has, but having an unpopular opinion, or in this case counter to popular opinion does not make it wrong. Lord believes what he believes and hopes someone will share his view. While I disagree with his opinion on the matter I think in a sense he is correct. Pinky and the other main six are Paragons that should not be so easily shaken. And that's what the argument is about, "was Bucky's crazy laugh enough to drive the paragon of laughter insane?" Dispite the evidence presented to Lord he is still unconvinced. It is about how much Pinky should be able to handle. Lords view of the main cast put them far above what most of us have come to accept as normal human tolerances. So he still try to reach out and share his view with us so we may understand in the hopes that we will agree.
