After reading this, and recalling a book I saw posted to reddit, I'm having rather disturbing thoughts of my own.
The feels
Well... shit. Guess it's all going to be over soon.
...the funeral is for the world, right?
well hello clue... what do you bring us? a stallion with wifes... who could it be
I believe it should be "are there no foals".
again cosmic pants shows its limits. for all its power it is forced to rely on what can only be called mortal tactics.............
........ I just had a thought. what if this so called cosmic decay is caused not by the chaos war, not in that sense, but because of this master alicorn? wha if the chaos war was bout something different? and rather than the war causing this decay, cosmic pants is trying to keep what the war was started for at bay, something that ultimately the universe needs yet would change it in some way he would not want and convicned that it would ring destruction?
The worst father in the
worldcosmos.5334647
Soon is relative
You know for something that's supposed to embody balance, their father/mother is a right proper bitch/bastard. Worse than the fates IMO.
5334647 I would say that it would be Barley but I feel a death like that would be a catalyst at this point not a epilogue.
Man, I feel God is getting a bad wrap. From a mortals standpoint I can see how meseed up manipulating things, fates, destiny's for petty whims would seem bad. Sombra was a womanizer and Celestia Goddess of the sun was in love with him. As her father I'd want him dead with extreme prejudice. And then her sister has to go and start undermining me about it I want to put her in time out. Trouble starts when it is outside his\her/it's very nature to be clearly understood, or unable to act directly. Now after realizing the mistake made was it's own the only way to amend the problem is to recreate the system without the overlord program. Maybe that what it wants, maybe it's more malevolent in designs. But on some level here the inability to connect with its creations is causing this rift. If only it could take the form of a pony for a time. I just have a feeling that God is seeking self destruction
5334651 You do realise that Luna said to get laid with Bucky in her rant the last chapter right? Because if not you're not reading closely enough.
5334844
one can only taste the sarcasm
And again, pony God is a dick.
Hm... Celestia defied the father already, and Luna's fall could be punishment? But then... what was his plan at that time? Was he already trying to end it all, or did he change his mind in the ensuing millenium? Was Luna's fall part of a different plan, and the reason he stopped talking is that now she's no longer part of his plan?
Not a fan of BuckyLestia. I don't like black hole romance characters... the only character worthy of romance with the best people, while anyone else gets to be alone or the rejects! The more wives Bucky has the worse this becomes. At least in this universe there are more females than males, so at least he's not necessarily depriving other males of wives. I guess, at this point, it's almost a logistical problem: a different lover would mean more characters in a story that already has a ton of them. I have no illusions, though: unless there's a lot of negative outcry about it, now that it's been mentioned it's going to happen, isn't it?
5334877
It isn't happening. So don't worry and don't panic.
In short, Celestia is aware that Sombra's memories exist inside of Bucky's head. That's a powerful temptation. But Bucky is not Sombra.
So no, nothing will ever come of this. Panic over.
5334887
Ah... well that's much more reasonable. And easier to explain than: I was a mentor to my future lover when he was a child.
5334877
That said, there is a side story planned with Celestia finding love... with a character I have no intentions of revealing.
5334877 considering naightmare moon's motivations, I would say that he had intended or her to destroy the world...... perhaps out of an act of fear I would say.
5334890
Celestia loves Sombra. When she lost Sombra in this world, she jumped through a mirror to find him again and took comfort with another Sombra. It isn't Bucky that she loves at all, well, she loves Bucky, but not in that way. She is just aware that Sombra still lives, in a sense.
Man I feel bad for Celestia, having the go through the ages watching the children of her lost love, holding out for one like Bucky. Then finding him only for him to have sided with your sisters against your father. Deep seeded desires mixing with love of a caretaker and concerns of a monarch. And you KNOW she was looking forward to being his rebound when his wives passed away after he became an immortal.Then again he would be tapping all them immortals, stupid Harem main character. BTW, how come hades isn't getting any play? I assume Luna and he had a thing, is he the naughty Uncle that is forbidden from family functions because he creeps people out, or is he the kind older brother that abstains due to his dark role.edit- after review I withdraw the above, but I still put forth that on some level this is what she was dong.
5334903
Yeah... I haven't read the comics yet, but I know the basics, and did get the impression that in The Chase mirror Sombra was replacement for Chaseverse Sombra. In Chaseverse it seems like a pretty lame deal for mirror-Sombra, actually. Finding his own love, but only because he resembled someone else they loved.
5334917
There is no Hades in The Chase. But there is a Thanatos.
He and Luna are sort of friends. They help each other from time to time.
5334917
Part of the first half was pretty accurate though. Part. She has been waiting for a long time for the bloodline to redeem itself. She knows that Sombra suffers down in Tartarus.
5334893
You tease.
Despite my complaints, I like not knowing what's going to happen.
5334902
The intention was to break Celestia's will. Not end the world.
Kudzuhaiku, I have a question. If the Alicorn of Balance is all about, well, balance, why is it that all but one of his/her/it's "divine alicorn offspring" female? I'm counting all Alicorns in this, so you have Luna, Celestia, the three fates, Cadance, and Twilight. The only male amongst the alicorns/potential alicorns we are aware of is Bucky who refuses to ascend with good reason. So if the AoB has always been about balance, why the heavy leaning in favor of female offspring?
5334959
Thanatos.
It is simply how the universe is. Celestia, Luna, the Fates, Thanatos, all of them are sterile. So it doesn't matter what gender they are. They exist to perform a function.
5334937
Ahhh yes I forgot he was a named character, I guess that explains why Luna is so scary. She shags death on the side,
5334959
With Twilight and Cadance, if immortality happened, they would become sterile as well. Cease to be mortal at all.
5334954 this is our main problem with the chase... having Kudz throw clues that keep us insane most of the time until the grand opening... and then we all have the "WTF moment"
5334968
Um... no. No that doesn't happen at all. Luna really does see him as her brother. She made one of his cloaks, the one that Bucky tends to favour at the moment.
Besides. Technically speaking, Thanatos is dead. He doesn't actually have a body, only the illusion of having a body. He doesn't even have a penis. Which makes it very difficult to shag, the whole no penis thing.
5334917
5334952
But then her father offers to elevate one of his line to Alicornhood. Somewhere on a baser level you know she felt a thrill, perhaps believing that her father was rewarding her for her good behavior and diligence.
5334994
Having a fellow potential immortal walking around with the memories of the one she loved, safe and alive for eternity... that is kinda the point, as was pointed out. She isn't in love with Bucky, not in that way, but rather, just what exists inside of his head.
5334973
Ah... in this case it might bear mentioning my not-joking opinion on the matter:
A little teasing on future events: good.
Teasing unto major spoilers: not good.
The line between these two can be thin.
5334956 it well coulhave lead to it, and he decided to wreck it at some point.
5335009 i trust kudz to dangle that bait in front of us on the right spot
5334903 didn't she encounter the alternate sombra first?
5334963
Ahh yes. I had forgot to count Thanatos. My bad!
If it doesn't matter what gender they are so long as they perform a function, then why does the AoB's own gender fluxuate so much so long as he/she/it is performing it's function of balance? Or is it becasue the AoB is NOT performing their function that they fluxuate so?
And yeah, I'd been on the fence about Twilight and Cadance, but counted them anyhow. Even not counting them it was still five daughters to two sons.
If there is an Alicorn of Death, whom is the alicorn of life?
5334985
He could just slip her the....
ok... no, that too far even for me. Though it does raise the question,what is the difference between death and immortality. While technically alive immortals are sterile, why bother with sexual desires after millennia of no longer being necessary. If God didn't want them to procreate why torture them with desire. Maybe for the sake of raising the wayward mortals as their own foals, but can't the dead do the same. or at least immortal constructs. Why need living breathing immortals when all you need is puppets?
While Genesis/Cosmicorn might or might not have the best interests of existence itself in mind, at the end of the day It's starting to feel a lot like Chaos, Father of All and Nothing from Dragonlance.
5335019
No. That came later in The Chase.
5335060 if it is so......... the comics do confuse things quite a bit I think. through them we learn a lot about the canon incident of sombra. for starters, th were already in a divide with each other which means they had to defeat sombra without the elements..... and they clearly did. different in this story, but it has a far more complex method being used tha 'I want it that they used the elements on them cause I want him stronger than them so they can be murdered by him......'
far, far too many stories with op sombra murdering all of the mane six and the sisters.
5335075
How does that have any bearing on The Chase?
Wow. Original Alicorn confirmed for worst parent ever. Of course, he/she/it doesn't see him/her/itself as such, or as any kind of parent. No more than a child playing in a sandbox sees himself as the parent of the lumps of sand that populate his castles. So, what does one do against such a being? The answer seems to be "one can do nothing." However, Bucky is War, made to defeat all things. The OA's creations have rebelled against him/her/it before. This one might actually be able to do something.
Looking forward to more.
5335098 just conversation.
and that i am glad that this story is NOT that way. establishes what lead to what rather than say 'i want it this way damn it!'
5335161
Yeah OG Alicorn is... monstrous. But... I can't help but wonder if we're missing something. To the Alicorn, everything is ephemeral. Lives begin and end and his concern is either beyond that, or making that time good while it lasts. Imagine how much you care for a pet, one you love but that you will outlive? When the end of their life approaches, and they're suffering, what do you do? Do you try to do everything you can to save them, even though they'll be in misery and struggling, or let them perish? Or even accelerate it, so that it happens before too much misery occurs?
But, on the other hand, when do you draw that line and say "the amount of time and growth that that creature would get by letting them try to heal and persevere would make it worth it to save them instead". And the OG Alicorn is apparently deliberately spreading misery to facilitate his plans. Is he sacrificing his favored to stop the spread of misery of others? Is he childish? Is he a tyrant? Does he operate on another level, but in such a way that he simply is the enemy of all those that live in his universe, so while he's not strictly villainous he might still be the enemy that needs to be stopped?
Previous antagonists have mostly all been impossible to redeem and completely corrupt or evil. The morally ambiguous have all been protagonists, so far. Even the Fates are protagonists, even as they've done some pretty questionable and selfish things. It may be folly to look for a pattern, though. The OG Alicorn is already a very different deal, and may be literally impossible to remove without ending the universe.
5335343
I agree, the fates act as gods themselves. Dictating the future of mortals to enact their own whims. Pushing Bucky towards forced gun control. Does the fact God want to fix the universe make Him/Her/them any different. If all anyone can see is the destruction of the Universe as the consequence, what is the consequence of forced gun control?
5334985
Tongues and magic make wonderful substitutes, just sayin'.
Not having a body does NOT exampt one from being in on the shagging scene, it's simply that Luna and Thanatos are siblings in nature and relation. After all, the Night is often connected to Death thematically, so it's a good fit for side-by-side, and that works better with siblings who need to work together, rather than significant others. Those tend to work better on complementary roles, though that's being avoided in this particular setting. Otherwise it'd be Love/War, Day/Night, Death/[No life character], and Magic/[Antimagic? Isolationism? Insanity? Lots of interpretations given the conduit for Magic].
5335297 Yay! You've learned! ^.^
This is why I love this incarnation of Luna.
