7010648 As social creatures we would go mad. She could have all the friends she wants but they're not human, which would just constantly remind her she is utterly alone. And solitude breeds contemplation, and when you have PTSD...well that's quite dangerous. As sick as it sounds, fighting is making her comfortable because it's all she knows.
7010684 she would have snapped already if she were truly alone, for as opportunistic as Malthus is he is a human she has a loose bond with now.
Alone, armed, passive magic induced terrors? She'd have murdered 3 ponies before she realized they were sentient. This story would be way shorter and end on that Nietzche quote.
Faust was inspired by the stories she made up playing with ponies when she was a little girl. Likewise, I imagine you play acting this scene out with McDonald's brushables and a Barbie doll.
It's nice to see everyone adjusting to a new normal, even if that normal has a psychopath on the loose
T: That shouldn’t be possible, Samantha. Ponies have been trying to pierce the Veil for over a thousand years. Nopony even tries anymore because we assumed it was impossible! The Veil’s magic is wild, raw, unfiltered. It’s like wrestling with fire itself. It almost burned Starswirl the Bearded’s horn right off when he tried to cross over!
Culture sharing! *yeeeeee*
If only it were under better circumstances.
7008644 that is the tragedy, isn't it?
Imagine if she had come alone, what it might have been like. I think Sam would have been happy.
7006785 well yeah nobody's been maddened by eldritch voices and no one's been eaten alive yet so
pretty tame!
7009681 we're never alone. Even when we're alone, we're still stuck with a head full of ghosts. The idyllicness would just drive her insane I think.
7010641 You think? Don't think she could have settled in Ponyville and said fuck those guys I'ma finally have my own ranch
