The Bricklayer


Slow down, you're doing fine, you can't be everything you want to be, before your time... -Vienna, The Stranger: Billy Joel. (Any Pronouns)

Starlight Glimmer loves rules and laws of all kinds. That would be the first thing anypony would tell you about her. It's almost the only thing she loves more then her marefriend Lightning Dust or equality for ponies. So of course when King Sombra returns and the only thing standing in his way is Starlight, and Lightning, Starlight will defeat him the only way she knows how. That is, with the power of bueracracy!

Just another weird one-shot story from my possibly deranged mind. Not to be taken real seriously. Light Lightning Dust/Starlight Glimmer

This reminds me when Astfgl, supreme devil in the Discworld, introduced burocracy as Hell´s main form of torment, with horrific and mind numbing results.

7158981 Never read Discworld but I probably should at some point. Heard it's good.

This was relatively fun. Nice. Few miistakes here and there but awesome nonetheless.

Oh, you really made it :rainbowkiss: This is awesome, I want Starlight to play Ace Attorney now :derpytongue2:

Seriously guys, I was not expecting this much attention from this story. This has made my day!

Fun fact: This story was inspired by a Harry Potter fic I read once, though thanks to my routinely terrible memory I can't remember the name or who even wrote it actually...:facehoof::twilightsheepish:

I cannot stop picturing Starlight as Dr. Mrs. The Monarch from Venture Brothers now.:rainbowlaugh:

7160604 Never watched that, so can you tell me who that character is?

Red tape!, does it every time. Good story

As of right now, one of the leaders of the Guild of Calamitous Intent: the people you have to register with to be a supervillain legally in that show. She knows all Guild bylaws inside and out and has no problem telling a person just how bad they screwed up. Should definitely check it out if you get a chance, one of Adult Swim's better shows.

7163821 I generally don't watch Adult Swim stuff. Just never interested me much, that's all.

While amused, I have a feeling Sombra would have her guts for garters.

Then make Twilight wear them.

Now, this is a good story. Well thought-out, good dialogue, in-character action, a plot that's fairly simple to follow, and a funny premise. You did good on this one!

Of course, it wouldn't be me if I were to just leave it at that, so I'll give you a couple of small things I noticed:

First, when Flash mentions Grogar's name. I could write this off as Starlight not knowing/remembering his name, but since you already told the reader what their name is, it does feel a wee bit redundant (when you told us his name, I assumed that the others all knew it, too). I'm not saying it's wrong, it's just something I noticed.

Also, be careful about directly addressing the reader like you did. It can work a few times, but overdoing it can bog the story down a little, and make it seem rather silly. It does work here, though, sort of.

All in all, this was a fine piece of work. Good job!

8027382 Yeah, this was in my... weird stage. But I'm glad you liked it! And thanks for the fave!

It's like Twidash but with their less Y7 rated versions.

I need more of this ship.

This story has been so fun!

Approved by Pinkie Pie:pinkiesmile:

hands starlight a list of forms in equestrian demonic languges stating the legality of bekng op with 4 demon lords along with a one year supervillin form under a no killing rule before punting her into her marefrined and merrily blows stuff up

Well, I think I know where Starlght’s soul is going when she passes away: the Celestial Bureaucracy… which has nothing to do with Celestia…
