HAhahahaha. Since when does the universe, and The Chase as a whole care about being fair?

Celestia was being genial.
PRAISE THE SUN, SOLAIRE THE GOLEM, if only I could be so grossly incandescent, my very own sun
for some reason i should be more concerned about the gender confused foal but i am more distracted by her behavior with the crystal collective.
........ the most powerful force she had ever encountered in her world, short of cosmic pants, was the elements of harmony. the elements of harmony are tapped into everything the crystal collective has taken away from shining.
why is she not seeing the issue of someone who has be largely robbed of self identity when the elements of harmony are Powered by it? by several conflicting points of view and identity finding common ground and love with each other? more so seen what happens when someone takes an extreme.
it just seems like no one is realizing the issue the collective holds here even when it should be obvious to them. it is the same issue with cosmic pants. order brings only chaos when it has no chaos to keep it in balance.
Knowing you and your "odd" OCs, I am unsure if the Word Bearer explosively diarrhea-ed all over the place or actually exploded and if otherwise not inconvenienced by said explosion.
I don't remember where the "ponies are made of cheese" part started, but it is way funnier than it probably should be.
There is a Great War brewing

Shining Armor is still very much himself. He has all of his memories, he is still himself in every way that matters... he is just protected from pain now, suffering, and things of a more negative nature.
Look at it this way.
Imagine if you were in a room where one hundred people were shouting the word "love" and one person was saying the word "noodle" do you honestly believe you could hear the world "noodle" over the shouted word "love?"
5505014 Actually, if they were all shouting "love" at the same time and in a rhythm, you could pick up on the different tones of "noodle" rather easily.
5505020
Hmm... I dunno... if people were shouting love, and one person said noodle in a normal voice, I think the shouting would overpower it.
Anyway, that's the general idea here. Shining Armor is overpowered by the feeling of love being pumped into him to strengthen his magic and power up his defense.
...Ooooh. The stuff with this little filly just reeks of similarities to a suicide and the end of last year. I hope the so called "Family" gets utterly fucking destroyed.
5505028 He gets stronger from love, huh? Someone get him to adopt eight hundred orphans, all of whom should be given ecstasy shortly before meeting their new hivemind father.
Boom, infinite power.
I like how you incorperated what the golem was saying without breaking the flow
The golems missed one
spoon upon a her saucer. [ not needed]?
5505014 i would probably want to be ABLE to hear someone shouting noodle actaully. cause far as i know the guy was warning me about the noddles i was buying being crap or something, or worse case scenario poisoned.
shining is not himself because it is overriding his emotions and decision capacity. he will be influenced by this collective, and it would be enormously easy for him to be manipulated by it. when a thousand people are telling at you to do something, you will struggle to hear the voices saying you shouldn't. and this is very bad when in reality the thousand voices are wrong and the few voices are the ones who are reasonable.
ever heard of mob mentality?
5505194
I never said shouting noodle, did I?
5505198 then that is far worse. this could so easily go south in some manner that it seems implausible that it could go anywhere but south. the question is when and how.
put simply shining armor is in a form of chaos. he is out of balance. too much of a good thing i believe the term is. and this has all the signs of going awry........
5505239
No. Shining Armor is stabilised. Calm. All of his strengths have been magnified and all of his weaknesses have been shored up.
When he finally has his beloved Cadance back, he won't be so pumped full of love. Right now, he's hurt, and the Crystal Collective is giving him what he misses.
golem... have fun in the castle, give them hell
glad to see the new OC while the story of her isn't easy
Does a gender swapping spell exist in this universe?
5505257
No, but she couldn't possibly have a better protector.
Meet Uncle Nutzo! I told him how you hurt me...
5505260
Yes... but those are never permanent. A few hours at most before harmony magic restores itself to balance.
Thanks Kudz! I love the way weaved an even temper of cute and sadness through this chapter great job!
5505282
Would Discords Chaos Magic be able to do something more permanent? I mean he took Rarity and Twilight's Horns without killing them so that in itself goes against how things work. He could possibly do long lasting gender changes. And while he is kept in check now from doing anything bad with his powers by Fluttershy, would doing that really be considered a bad thing? Sure it would be against the Harmony aspect, but it would be helping somepony in a way the couldn't be helped otherwise.
5505282
....And now I just remembered what a Changeling like Tourmaline is Capable of according to the one Drone in Las Pegasus and might not even need Chaos Magic from Discord like I originally mentioned.
5505344
OH GODDESS SOMEBODY NOTICED!
5505326
I can't answer this for story purposes.
5505363
I take replies such as this near confirmations.
made me laugh cause i saw this face in my head.

5505248 and without any effort on his part....... this is not gonna make him stronger. not anything true in strength at least. he is gonna grow reliant on it. and reliance nearly always leads to something bad. not sure what it iwll lead to, but as i said, the collective can manipulate him....... and love is equally capable of evil as it is of good.
and the source of the potential threat in disguise being the heart is a bit..... strange too.
5505402
The Collective isn't capable of evil.
That said, it isn't capable of good either.
You don't know its true purpose yet, because I haven't told you, or anybody else.
So everything you are doing now is speculation.
The facts so far.
The Crystal Collective simply is. It acts as a focuser of harmony magic, dark magic weakens it, and it polarises love as a primary emotion, which is actually the seventh Element of Harmony.
Taken directly from the wiki, where I saw it and thought, hey, that gives me an idea!
You will know more in time, but I can say your fears, concerns, and worries are entirely unfounded. There is NO chance of harm coming to Shining Armor because of this. Only good things. Like the other Elements, Shining Armor is being groomed for service later, so he can perform a function.
..... Why DO the golems think ponies are made out of cheese? I can't remember if this was ever brought up.
5505282
..... good thing there's a readily available source of chaos magic nearby?
And what about an enchanted item or something designed to draw from the leylines and reinforce a spell that was cast by a unicorn upon it's wearer?
5505034
One of us....
5505443
The moon has holes, it must be made of cheese. Ponies have holes. The moon has holes. Both of these things have holes. Cheese has holes. By logical extension, ponies are made out of cheese.
I mean, it is really very simple common sense that anybody with a golem level IQ should figure out in moments.
Bucky: I've created artificial stupidity.
5505326 you ask the right questions
5505437 what lacks morality is the most capable of evil.
5505489
So the Elements of Harmony are EVIL.
Good to note. I'll make use of them accordingly.
5505443
5505465
The original argument (the moon is cheese) was in Chapter 416. The discussion in that chapter included what Kudzu just stated.
5505465
aaah yes. I remember now.
5505494 individually they CAN be. ever read fallout equestria? without balance any virtue can turn towards a destructive extreme. so by nature harmony requires balance and individuality. giving yourself too much to the element causes darkness to happen, and it is often hidden in light. giving too little cna risk chaos. it is only when light and darkness, order and chaos, are in balance that the element's true power is unleashed.
ultimately morality is balancing order and chaos. order creates blindness, and chaos causes a loss of direction...........
put simpler, the elements true nature is morality and balance. and balance as in accepting the light and dark exists and finding how they can coexist, rather the order forcing all to its viewpoint and chaos doing whatever the hell it wants....
that is part of the reason why i find the idea that harmony magic is the base magic in this universe. to actually HAVE harmony is enormously difficult and a constant struggle to maintain it, to not go to either extreme........ and it is basically air and water in this world.
5505609
Yes, which is why the Fates, who created the Elements of Harmony, and working to reset the balance. There came to be too much friggin' evil in the world.
What you are seeing in the Chase is the world in the last phases of resetting itself. How does it end? With a funeral.
Eventually, balance IS restored.
I'm really excited to see the little side plots and references to this transgender foal in the future. ^___^ The poor thing needs some help, badly. Snapping so badly as to geld oneself... I know the urges myself, wanting out of a body that doesn't feel right. Somepony give that filly a hug!
5505451 Ecstacy is never creepy.
5505647 ........... will have to see about that. evil manifests whenever the potential of an extreme does. and extremes exist because of a lack of morality or understanding.
you cannot remove extremes however, only balance them. and something that is balanced is needed rather than countering with yet another extreme. and the tree is making itself out as an extreme. that whole fluttershy and discord situation is only prolonging the issue. it is only creating another extreme rather than something that will bring balance.
what is sustaining the imbalance is the god of this world after all. put simply to restore balance the extremes must be held in check.
5505763
WAIT! Are you telling me that we'll see how this turns out in my OWN story?
As if somehow, IT CAN GO AGAINST HOW I PLAN IT?
Really? Are you really going there? Are you trying to tell me that I don't know how my own story turns out?
Why? Really... why?
5505769 *rewrites the whole story using nothing but bubble gum, B-B guns and duct tape like a true 'murican*
...
*and then promptly tosses the rewrite out* i like your version better than mine.
5505806
I laughed... maybe a bit too hard. Was the 'murican bit that got me.
Now I have chest pains. HAHAHAHAH!
5505769 nope. jsut saying that at this stage i can't see how they will reach the point where things are balanced when so much of the evil are coming from extremes and performed by beings empowered by extremes. and that the tree of harmony itself is also creating its own extremes.
throwing extremes at extremes is the reason why things have gone so wrong after all. all the way back to cosmic pants going for the extreme of just wanting everything to die rather than try to fix its mistakes. an extreme for an extreme.
