GO FOURTH AND WRITE!!!!!

Woah, probably the most favorites I've gotten from 1.7k words. Is it because of the shipping, or the metal?

>>497634497634

So far, there's been like five 70's or 80's band references in this chapter alone (excluding the lyrics in that chapter). Can you find them all?

>>498919498919

TwiDash is best pony.

Anyway the best shipped pair brings a lot of automatic favorites... like mine and I have not read it yet

Damn!!! Makes me wonder what Fluttershy's mom is like if she used to sing this as a lullaby.... Good chapter though, so keep on going!

>>500035500035

TwiDash is an amazing thing. I guess it's the pairing then!

>>501020501020

I'm not sure about her mom, but Fluttershy only got picked on at Flight School because those kids weren't METAL enough.

Touche good sir, Touche . You should totally have Twilight do some crazy metal instrumental stuff that makes you want to head bang so hard you feel like this, but is so epic that you're really like this, .

I. Fucking. Love. Fluttershy's. Mother!

>>501182501182

Funny you say that, for the intro to Twilight's guitars in Chapter 1 when she's playing on the acoustic, I was actually going to link to Arch Enemy - Marching on a Dead End Road which exactly fits the text I put in before she gets distracted. Took the link out because the instrumental's around 1:16, whereas the text only lasts for like 20-45 seconds depending on how fast you read.

>>501185501185

I have a feeling my fellow metalbronies enjoyed that part about Fluttershy's mother. Glad I pulled that off.

>>501288501288 DUDE!!! that would have been so epic for the start! You should try have Twi and Dash do someting like this null

>>498919498919 Yes.

>>501020501020I'm guessing she was awesome.

>doesn't tell me about it

>doesn't publish on dA

Hah! Joke's on you. I found it anyway and I'm going to read it ... later. When it's not 1:30 am. Now I have to watch you on here, too, I guess.

>>504636504636

I'm sorry furor please don't beat me again it hurts it hurts it hurts

I'm planning to release it on dA when I'm finished the whole story as one chapter. That way I can get the full thing on the MLP-WTG prompt. But yeah, you get earlier TwiDash (and metal) then.

Alright, I've been following along just to see where this goes, but you completely got me with Pinkie as drummer. Doesn't Twilight know that ALL the best drummers are batshit crazy?

Looking forward to the next one.

Moar!!!!! I see what you did there... Sly dog you .

Can't wait for the rest of this!

what can i say?

I got one of the music references

We're halfway there...

>>506043506043

Glad you liked Pinkie, doing her thing with the legendary 'double-double-bass'.

>>506069506069>>506394506394

So many (but still not enough) references in this, so I'm guessing you guys are referring to the more obvious one near the end.

>>506429506429

Very nice ending to an excellent story.

Really nice ending :

>>511315511315

UP THE IRONS \m/

>>511766511766

Cute, very cute. Glad you liked the ending.

>>511869511869

I... I really like your icon.

I don't really know metal.

but i do know music.

and i know that this story is Amazing in the way that it uses music to help the characters express themselves. There's actually no concept I enjoy more.

Well done

P.S. thanks for linking to the songs. it was a great copliment to the actual reading, and i've got a new appreciation for metal because of the songs you chose.

>>515551515551

Yeah, music really is a great thing. I'm really happy that you gleaned that from the story, because it's something we can all relate to on some level. I personally, am very influenced by what I listen to, despite how much or little it shows in my writing.

Also, yet another victory for the metal world!

>>511766511766 This is the picture that wins the internets

Lets see: I got the Zepplin, AC/DC, KISS, Iron Maiden. I'm probably missing some obvious ones that'll make me feel when they're pointed out... other than that, this is good because of the shipping AND the music selections.

>>518563518563

Holy jesus, you got a lot of them. I lost the last two chapters full story on my SSD (I kept it all in a single document) because of reformatting and all so I don't have all 15 refs with me, but there's a total of four bands (Not including Zeppelin, because it doesn't count much as a reference rather than, a feature) in the first chapter. So you got 3 out of four, which is crazy.

Here's a hint for that last one. Rainbow Dash and her 80's thrash.

Why do I imagine Pinkie's drumming to be something akin to this?

>>518751518751

Because she spends too much time hanging out with Fluttershy, and inherited her taste for black metal/tech death drumming. You see, they play that song in Fluttershy's basement. I was going to link to Fleshlestia Apocalypse - The Violation to introduce Pinkie's double-double-bass, but I was like "Naaaaah".

But yeah, something hardcore was what I was trying to get at with Pinkie. And Metalshy.

“She might run away from it, like she's gonna pass the cemetery gates or somethin'.”

Pantera! \m/

>>519196519196

Believe the word

I will unlock my door

And pass the cemetery...

GAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATES

I really, really didn't expect anyone to catch that, but you did. Jesus, when did you bronies become so metal? If I recall, there is another Pantera reference in this story.

>>519235519235

"Jesus, when did you bronies become so metal?"

Brutal music and pastel colored ponies just go hand in hoof.

>>501137501137 twidash good. But doesn't Twi seem just a little OOC?

>>521611521611

I guess so, if you're talking about her whole business trying to learn Stairway to Heaven and organize the whole thing for Rainbow Dash.

My excuse: Strong impulsiveness and fear of failure. That seems pretty in character to me.

Personal headcanon for the mane six's taste in metal (here represented with bands):

Applejack: Exodus (the gal likes her thrash metal)

Fluttershy: Nile (beware the quiet ones)

Pinkie Pie Korpiklaani (polka for everypony)

Rainbow Dash Iron Maiden (need I say more?)

Rarity Therion (symphonic metal for the elite)

Twilight Sparkle Meshuggah (polyrhytm is magic/metal)

>>525499525499

Really fitting for Rainbow Dash since Bruce Dickinson is also a pilot. If anything though, I'd think she'd be thrash loving. Maybe metalcore (but not the overly chuggy kind) since she's speedy and aggressive and stuff. Still, Rainbow Thrash.

Also, haven't listened to any Therion before (or much symphonic metal at all), but this sounds cool. Like, woaaaah.

Twilight invents an incredibly odd, technical, weird-time-signature-using subgenre called "studycore". All songs are at least 20 minutes long.

>>523960523960 hmm. Didn't think about that...Ah well

KURT COBAIN GIF OF APPROVAL

That is all.

... A METAL SHIPPING FIC.

I...

I...

I....... I LOVE IT!

I cannot hold all of this win. Fluttershy... is... METAL.

AWWWWWWW YEAH. METAL.

>>527799527799

For some reason, I have a feeling that someone's already ponified Kurt Cobain.

>>527978527978

Metal is exactly what drives us to pony. In contrast, MLP: FiM is what most black metal lyrics are about. Trust me.

>>529672529672

Kurt Cobain ain't got shit on Grunge Applejack!

>>529736529736

Not gonna lie, 50's Rainbow Dash looks pretty badass. Applejack too, but definitely Rainbow Dash, with her leather jacket and all. Wait, leather? As in, made out of animal hide? Fluttershy's not gonna be too happy about that.

Huh, maybe that's why Fluttershy plays so much brutal music.

>>525499525499

Since I have nothing better to do at the moment let's add som more of these:

Cadance: Tiamat (Will bitchslap anypony who suggests HIM)

Celestia: Hypocrisy (Problem Luna . Don't worry, she likes Bathory too.)

Chrysalis: In Flames (Hey! They used to be good, okay?)

Discord: Sigh (Also shares Twilight's fondness for Meshuggah)

Luna: Bathory (Trve kvlt black metal for the night princess \m/)

Nightmare Moon: Venom (She is a part of Luna after all)

Octavia: Accept (Unsure why? You've obviously never heard the solo in Metal Heart)

Vinyl Scratch: Machinae Supremacy (Bitches don't know about my SidStation!)

This is amazing. I love this story. I laughed a lot. Thanks for great time when I was reading it.

>>680435680435

No problem. Good to see that people are still enjoying this fic since I haven't written anything else for people to read for like, two months.

You know, this story needs more attention. 100+ ratings at the least.

I loved it, and I don't even like all that old metal stuff.

>>760145760145

Thanks. One day, I will get a 100+ rating story, or something like that.

Also, yeah, a lot of the metal references here are 70's and 80's stuff, pretty old. Hope it didn't get too "in the way" when you read it.

>>762117762117

Nah, I can still appreciate that kind of thing. All of the song references were pretty vital to the story, after all.

I meant 100+ thumbs up, by the way. 100+ thumbs down wouldn't be too great.
