    How coincedental! You wrote this while recovering from anesthesia, which is precisely what I'm doing while reading it.

    Trollestia is best Celestia. I love a fair number of your stories. Keep up the good work.

    I've always found it amusing how generally we write the nobles and other ponies in Equestria as if they could really force either Celestia and Luna to do anything at all. I mean, are they really that stupid?

    #7 · 54w, 4d ago · · ·
    Reply 

    And that is how a princess starts to go mad. I wonder if Luna had similar thoughts as she became Nightmare Moon. After all her goal was no less lethal.  Both could be interesting too.  A world half frozen and half burnt with the last desperate survivors hanging on in the twilight region between the two extremes.

    Awesome idea and delivery. Wonderfully comedic with just the right tone of worrying creepiness. Like, seeing a glimpse of the shadow cast by the light but not being able to get a full picture. It made the story that much better, being left with that horrified anticipation. Bravo sir, bravo! :twistnerd:

    "traveling ponies nonpareil"

    It's "salesponies", they were pony Traveling Salesmen. Just calling them "ponies nonpareil" would make it sound like either they were claiming to be the best ponies in the world, or that Celestia thought they were without equal. Calling yourself "the best salesman" during a pitch is far less arrogant and more socially accepted than calling yourself higher than anypony else, the latter of which seems a bit out of character for Flim and Flam who win over their customers through their pitch. It wouldn't be good for them to proclaim anything but their products and sales were unmatched, they aren't showponies like Trixie.

    Yes yes, I know, it's a minor note and was only mentioned in passing, but still, it's an error that broke my immersion, so I felt compelled to point it out.

    Celestia trolling woodland creatures?

    Fluttershy does not approve. :flutterrage:

    Your depiction of the Princess seems a tad more condescending than most. Not that that's bad or anything, in fact it almost is refreshing to read. I kinda like the idea of Celestia just getting fed up with everything and everypony sometimes.

    Nicely done. I think it might have worked even better as a short-short -- grumble, grumble, blasted 1,000-word minimum etc -- but I liked it as it was anyway. The last line is quite Pratchettian, I think. Also, props for using an exclamation mark within a sentence; you don't see that often (enough).

    >>562787 Eh, burning the earth with the sun untill it becomes a desert would take waaayyy too long! A better solution? I'd say releasing massive amounts of the VX nerve agent in major population centers would probably kill most of the population. You could also put it in the water supply, although it does not mix with water as easily as other nerve agents do.

    For those of you who don't know, VX is a human-made chemical warfare agent classified as a nerve agent. It is the most toxic and rapidly acting of the known chemical warfare agents. Any visible VX liquid contact on the skin, unless washed off immediately, is usually lethal. VX breaks down slowly in the body, meaning that repeated exposures to VX and/or other nerve agents can have a cumulative effect. Because VX vapor is heavier than air, it will sink to low-lying areas and create a greater exposure hazard there. It is is odorless, tasteless and colourless in its gas form, but as a liquid it is an amber colour and has an oily texture. It was originally developed in the United Kingdom in the early 1950s.

    Here's a plesant list of the symptoms it causes. I'll start with the less dangerous stuff, and move on to the more lethal effects:

    Runny nose

    Watery eyes

    Small, pinpoint pupils

    Eye pain

    Blurred vision

    Drooling and excessive sweating

    Cough

    Chest tightness

    Rapid breathing

    Diarrhea

    Increased urination

    Confusion

    Drowsiness

    Weakness

    Headache

    Nausea, vomiting, and/or abdominal pain

    Slow or fast heart rate

    Abnormally low or high blood pressure

    Loss of consciousness

    Convulsions

    Paralysis

    Respiratory failure and death

    >>559944 I have an author friend who heard about the amazing ideas that came under anesthesia, so the next time he went in to the doctor, he brought his pad and paper.  He had a staggeringly brilliant thought as he went under, and painstakingly wrote it down.  While recovering from the surgery, he looked at what he wrote:

    "The cow had green shingles."

    He figured after that that writing under the influence of knockout drugs just isn't worth it.
