I'm wondering if Ripple was actually making a joke about herself...
Rippobottomus, is that anything like a Ripplepegsus?
Okay, all they have to do now is send old Harper through the portal and all the mirror walkers will die and laughter XD
Hehehe very cute. Thanks Kudzu

Considering what their Element of Loyalty was and thus what they consider loyalty, I would assume their concept of laughter would be kind of sick and twisted and thus immune to Harper.
6716875 not really. laughter of joy is utterly different to the laughter you find in madness or desperation. incomparable. though the story tried to link it at some point.
6716907
...That is exactly what I was getting at. I doubt any of the Mirror Travelers know the joyful kind of laughter. They only know the kind of 'laughter' that comes out as insane, cackling madness. Sick and twisted. Meaning that any kind of laughter Harper would bring would not work on them.
KUDZ my knuckles now have teethmarks from trying not to howl with loud enough laughter to wake the entire household AND next door.
... Okay... Sorry, new Coldplay album has me distracted, i feel this chapter should have been funny, and it did make me smile, but im just out of it right now... Damn i like these songs.
Damnit kudz you got me in trouble for waking up entire house falling out ta bed howling with laughter and putting a huge crack in my tablet's screen while being thankful I didn't decide to read on the roof (doesnt like the thought of falling off head first off 2 story building) tonight where I can get away from it all at least during a starry night anyways
6716958 Now it's making me think of their Mirror Travelers counterparts:
Loyalty - Obedience, Loyalty is to stick with/serve your friends, Obedience is ultimate subservience
Laughter - Insanity? Laughter makes bad stuff go away, insanity makes everything go away? (Hinted at during Griffonholm? Griffonstone?)
Generosity - Making others give in "generosity"? Generosity gives what you have, the extreme is to give what other people have
Kindness - ... I got nothing. I know any extreme is bad but... This might be an exception
Honesty - Brutal Honesty, Always True? Predict the future so that they're 100% correct 100% of the time?
I love how much personality Harper has been developing lately. Her antics are so fun to read.
Rippobottomus
- Big and fat and lives in the lake and farts a lot.
umm...
roundabouts these parts, we call that critter a hippo,
now, I've heard some city folks call it a hippie, but I ain't never heard of no rippobottomus
Oh my god. Oh my god. OH MY GOD, HARPER USED THE WORD "what" CORRECTLY!! They grow up so fast...

A stopped clock is right twice a day.
6719112 That is probably one of my favorite sayings
6719112 not if it's digital. Or military time.

What about an hourglass?
6719687
Doesn't tell time. At best, time elapsed since it was last flipped can be approximated based on the comparative volumes in the top and bottom and the total time the hourglass takes for a full top to empty after being flipped. At worst, you can assume it has been at least the total time the hourglass takes to pour out since it was last flipped.
6719712
Look deeper into the hourglass. It is always right.
6719756
But we unfortunately have no idea what that "right" precisely is, we can only guess. Yay for morality metaphor.
6718377 Good call on Laughter. Can´t think in anything better to describe. As for the others elements:
Generosity: to give yourself to the others. In a twisted society, where individuality is useless, and everyone must sacrifice thenselves, body, soul and mind, it´s easy to see how generosity can be twisted to make everyone obbey the rules, without question. Are you trying to question the Night Stallion ? That´s selfish, and such behaviour is threat to our survival !
Kindness: to be kind, to show kindness to others. This one is hard to twist but it have some similarity with generosity (generosity itself is an act of kindness, even if you don´t need to be kind to be generous). Considering how Fluttershy, in the show, is able to make animals do what she wants, maybe the twisted element have a mind control, or mind manipulating, power. Or something more subtle. To convince ponies to do what she wants, not by sheer brute force or psichic powers, but being manipulative.
Honesty: to be true, to not lie. The word have its origins in the latin "honos", that is related to honor and dignity. It´s easy to see how the Night Stallion can use twsited concepts od honor and dignity to make an army that is completly devoted to serve him and his purposes. Wich could even explain why, after so many defeats, the mirror travelers keep fighting, without any aparent loss in the moral and in the will to fight. Maybe we can call the twisted element "Fanatism".

I see what you mean.
But perhaps they don't NEED different names.
Any virtue taken to an extreme becomes a vice, and we know the elements are very powerful and exist in some form across all the universes, so why would they need different names?
6721782
Who is to say they even have laughter or kindness? Different values, different society, different elements.
6721792
Indeed.
There could be the element of Writing, the element of Sturdy Cars, the element of Caffeine, the element of Coffee Makers, the element of 3 A.M., the element of Fart Jokes...
Then there's the element of typoes.
Long misunderstood, it is almost universally reviled, but recently discovered to be necessary in proving that authors are real people.
It has since been reformed to the element of Typo by the element of Revision and Editing.
6721814
The Element of Bravery in the mirror traveler's world gives the bearer suicidal courage with no thought to their own self preservation.
6721855
So... they need the element of Fart Jokes for balance?
Do the the elements "enforce" their trait on the Bearer?
Or do they simply enable the Bearer to embrace or embody said trait?
OR...
Is it a bit of both; they encourage and persuade, but it is ultimately up to the Bearer?
6721889
Remember the Element of Obedience in The Chase?
It was used as punishment. What does that tell you?
6721894
Phooey...
I remember now.
They only embody and enforce their trait, irrelevant of whether it's good or evil in circumstance.
I made it!
The right term is le Fauteur de troubles I would know my main language is french
Rip-o-bottom-arse?
