Testing the fabrics of morality and his body, he seeks to kill himself for good.

Too bad there's so many distractions on the way.

HOHOHOHO!
ERECTION BLASTS:yay:
MOR PLSS

If I learned anything from the 200+ hours I've spent on Dark Souls and Dark Souls 2, it's that there are very few of us who are truly cut out for immortality.

well if i had immortality then i would be crazy in like 60 years
or even less

This is certainly interesting. :unsuresweetie:

:ajsmug: *Slow Clap* You sir have my attention, not that it means anything, but please, do go on.

Huh, interesting. (I completely missed the human tag at first xD)

4430783
I'm already crazy, so I got that part covered.

4431372 so what kind of crazy sugar rush or... blood festival both work great together...:pinkiecrazy:

4431405
Abnormal thought patterns crazy.

This story sounds like it needs a dark tag. I'm pretty curious though...

4431646 ehmm i thinck that is a band?

Well I am officially interested.
Here. have a favorite :raritywink:

Aaaaaaand....
Favorite. :derpytongue2:

Well this is certainly interesting.

I can see this going fun places. :derpytongue2:

I really want to make a Highlander joke right now, but I can't come up with anything good.:pinkiesad2:

You captured the right vibe while keeping it distinct from your Inspiration. good work. fav+1

as an added bonus, this works almost well enough as a oneshot.

“I ask for your help in killing me.”
A human, bent far out of his original shape and unable to cope with his acquired invulnerability, asks but one thing of the rulers of the peaceful land of Equestria. One simple favor, but at the same time so inconceivable, it forever changes the great mares' outlook on life and sanity.
Cue the theme.

The lack of a comedy tag is promising. I'll keep two eyes on this. But in my view, you wasted the punchline: his request for death would've been the best way to close the chapter.

So he's inmortal and NIGH INVULNERABLE?!?!?!?! SPOOOOOOON

4439081
Yeeeeeeeah, this story ain't gonna be that dark.:rainbowhuh:

There will be some gore here and there, some character analysis, and if I can manage it, a couple WTF moments.

I think FimFiction is trying to tell me something... I tried to thumbs this up, but it told me that I had chosen poorly... :derpyderp2:

4439873 Are you going to take advantage of his invulnerability to come up with funny situations kind of how dead pool does, "Oh deary me, I appear to have been impaled against the wall by several guard spears, Sterling could you be a dear and get the tea off the stove before it burns?" That would be hilarious :rainbowlaugh:!

It took me a few seconds of staring at that cover art to figure out why it looked so familiar XD I'm flattered :twilightblush:

4441384
Oh crap, that art belongs to you?:rainbowderp:

I'm so sorry, I just googled for a good pic, and this seemed like a good one.

4441703

Oh no it's fine XD It wasn't my drawing, it was my design I got somebody to make. I feel flattered that you would use it and I really did like this story ^^
And because I'm curious, what did you google?

4441744
At first, I googled for a good "pony going mad" pic, but they were a bit too dark for my tastes. Too Lovecratian.:applecry:

The meaning of the cover pic might spoil the plot of the story, but I'll just say it resembles the one of the main actions of the story: reaching out. I'll be sure to end the story with a scene that matches the cover, that much I guarantee.

great fic. what's great about it, i haven't the slightest, but the writing is very good and there is so much potential to this plot.

Well shoot, I suppose I need to say something clever and sagelike now don't I?

Ahhhh,

Mmmmm

Thanks, I guess, for uh... being inspired, by me.

4442120
You could mention when the next chapter of To Swoon the Stars will come, instead of meditating.:rainbowlaugh:

4442331 It hasn't even been that long since the last chapter. Give me a break now, come on.

I believe the words you are looking for, 4442479 , can be summed up by a quote by your favorite author: "I'll be more enthusiastic about encouraging thinking outside the box when there's evidence of any thinking going on inside it." You would then follow that up by explaining you didn't mean to insult his intelligence, but that you are enthusiastic about his outside of the box thinking after using your inside the box thinking story to make this one.

Or, I'm tired and have no idea what I was going to say with this comment and have started to rattle off random words in the hope that some sagelike wisdom could be gleamed.

As for the story itself, I'm looking forward to where you are going with it. Here I am, getting inspired by the same story and using a similar narration style, yet you use a similar cast. I'm hoping to see a few references, and maybe a few scenes similar to his story. Oooh, I can see it now...

Also, I'm LucidTech's editor and the one who told him you wrote this. Why did you not do that yourself? Why does his editor have to tell him about someone else getting inspired by his works? Huh? HUH?! Nah, I'm just playing with you.

Anyway, have fun with this. I'll have as much fun reading it as I hope you'll have writing it.

No, wait, I have it! "In the first book of my Discworld series, published more than 26 years ago, I introduced Death as a character; there was nothing particularly new about this - death has featured in art and literature since medieval times, and for centuries we have had a fascination with the Grim Reaper." --Terry Pratchett

See, cause it's about using the same idea in different ways, so we're all inspired by something. Then, you could say how you are happy to be his inspiration!

4439873 Would you believe me if I told you I'd figured that much already? The description is a tell-tale.
That comment was just for navel contemplation.

Either way, is this going to be a deeper, more philosophical read, or will you keep it somewhat, let's say, "shallow"?

4442853
This story's mostly about the enigmatic stallion. Not too philosophical, but he will devolve into rambling some metaphysical and ethical nonsense from time to time. Hooray for mood swings and symbolism!

Has a lot of potential to go either way. Have a favorite, I wanna enjoy this ride.

173 likes vs. 4 dislikes!? That's a good ratio!

I APPROVE! MAKE MORE :pinkiehappy:

Jesus christ. It was glorious! I need more chapters dude! Hook it up with some new chapters yo! :trollestia:

Vex

I'm glad this story worked out well for you, it really is an interesting piece and deserves to be recognized as such :twilightsmile:

Something tell's me he won't get what he wants XD

Looks like you've left a comment in from editing, or at least that's what I assume as it doesn't fit with the rest.

Trotter sounds like a ghost.

4458629
Shite. Fixed. Thanks. It was getting late, so I was in a rush to upload the chapter:twilightblush:

Dammit, I'm hooked. Now I'm going to have to wait.:raritycry::raritydespair:

JBL

Huh. Didn't realize the story would be this popular.

you had my attention and now you have it again. what once was a hendrick clone is new something about as awesome
