    Celestia wakes up in human form and at an insane asylum where similarities between the world she is in now and the world of Equestria cause her to wonder if Equestria even exists or if she simply made it up to escape her human life. Does she try to hold on to her memories of her Canterlot life or does she let them go and accept them as nothing more than stories? Who is she going to trust? Who is she anyway?

    This is only the beginning...

    I love this premise! That being said, there were a few things I need to point out.

    You missed a couple of spaces, for example : Twilight had to be real!There was no way that she wasn't real!

    another thing, it struck me as odd that the nurse would also be the doctor's daughter, but I suppose it isn't impossible. But the biggest issue I have was the last line. what kind of father would call their child screwball, even as a nickname? Other than that, I'm tracking this.

    >>710298 I knew she was a BP, but in order for the story to make sense (celeste using ppl from her actual life to create the ponies) Dr Discord would have at least given his daughter the nickname of 'screwball' which to me is a little harsh for a parent to call their child.

    WOW...Thanks Everypony! :derpyderp1:

    Now to answer some questions:

    @Rainy Afternoon- I haven't heard of Pyroshy before (I don't have a tumblr) but I'll definitely check them out. Thanks!

    @Bronius Maximus- Thanks for pointing out the space issue I'll go back and fix it. About the nurse being his daughter: Yeah I can understand and kinda agree with you on how it's odd that the nurse is his daughter but I wanted to bring the BP Screwball in and I don't think they would allow him to bring his daughter to work unless she was in the medical field herself. If you look up the song "Daddy Discord" it is a song between a female pony named Screwball and Discord where she talks about her cutie mark and her name and how she misses her father Discord when he is frozen in a statue (just listen to it. It explain it better than I do.) I figured it could be used a a nickname that would sound odd enough that it would make people wonder but yeah it does sound kinda harsh.

    Thanks again everypony! And thank you most of all for your constructive criticism! The second chapter is actually already submitted but the moderators just have to approve it. :)

    I've read that everyone seems a bit put-off by the doctor calling his daughter "Screwball"

    however, I know for a fact that parents with adorkable children tend to give weird nicknames to them.

    I, for one, have been called Dork Knobbum (faux latin for Door Knob), That Whiteboard Eraser (whenever I cut my hair really short), and even by my little sister's name by my own parents many times.

    As such, I don't think it too wierd for the nickname Screwball to show up.

    If you're not going with anagrams or plays on words, I think Discord would have a french-sounding name.

    Dr. Belfonte

    Dr. Bellemont

    Dr. Beltram

    Dr. Delancey (u c wat i did thar?)

    Dr. Leblanc

    Dr. Delacorde

    Dr. Delaconte

    Dr. Delacreux

    I'd think that he'd have a cordial and benevolent-sounding name with an either negative or ironic undertone. The phrase "de l'accord" means "from the harmony". "de la conte" means "from the story".

    And I can't help but imagine his first name would either be Henry, John, or Kevin.

    Oh, yeah, and a great story. I love it.

    Actually, there is a name closer to Celestia than Celeste.

    Celestie. Which has the potential insanity bonus because if an insane person wrote the 'e' the wrong way, it'd look like an 'a'.

    It'd also bring confusion. My mother's name is Celestie and if I mention Celestia in conversation, she'll often look up, because it sounds like her name, just with an 'uh' sound tacked on.

    Dr. John Ocsid.

    If reduced to just his last name and title, it becomes Dr. Ocsid.

    Flip it backwards.

    As Celestia is an insane person, she might've read his name wrong and wound up getting Discord.

    I believe Equestria and this alternate universe are on a collision course in the multiverse and are slowly merging, causing the two spiritually same characters to merge in memories and bodies. Maybe it wont stop with Celeste and the doctor will be infused with discord and will lay waste to the world. Maybe the story will end in an epic race to save the two universes before they collide. Maybe I should stop rambling and let the author tell their own story.

    featured.

    but I'm hesitant to enter... personal issues, nothing to do with anything else.

    I'll put it in my read later list for when I'm feeling a little more... stable.

    I haven't given a read, but the premise presented by the synopsis sounds oddly familiar. In fact, I'm almost certain that there was such a fic with a similar premise featured on Equestria Daily, only instead of Princess Celestia in the nuthatch, it was Rainbow Dash.

    I'll have to give this a look when I get the time for anything more than skimming.

    This is really creepy...

    As for Dr. Discord and Nurse Screwball... Is Celeste/Celestia hearing what she wants to hear? Or is something far more sinister going on?

    Hmmm. I'm thinking this: Either discord sent her to sleep and is trying to make her go crazy, or sent her to a different world, and is trying to make her forget Equestria, and not come back to rule, though she still has the magic to. Oh god, I hope I'm not correct. If I am, please forgive me....:fluttercry:

    >>716286 Or Celly is a human in an insane asylum, creating a world inside of her mind to cope with her mental incapacity...

    >>716321 oh yeah, that too, but still, with the letter smelling like ash, and the evidence from Celly's world, I think there's more to it than that.
