    Deontology is indeed a dangerous route to take in any event. The safer ends-based moral philosophy is always Utilitarianism.

    This story somehow balances the necessarity OOC-ness needed for this kind of story and the in-characterness to make it somehat believable. And hilarious.

    The definition for "deontological" that Twilight gives is very strange. On Wikipedia it's described as the judgment of the morality of an action based on a set of rules (often duty-based), not "so long as it produces a desirable end".

    ...is that part of the humor?

    Her desirable end was 'me not being so fucking bored'

    "Deontological, not dentistry. As long as it produces a desirable end - such as me not being so fucking bored - it is a justified action!"

    And indeed, she was mentally occupied with her newfound task.

    Some people mentioned Twilight being out of character, but frankly the story perfectly displays the logical conclusion of Twilight's main character flaw - she's very logical and determined, but her logic is almost always based on catastrophically unsound assumptions. We see it both as comedy (Lesson Zero, Feeling Pinkie Keen, It's About Time, Bird in a Hoof, Green Isn't Your Colour) and as drama (Boast Busters and Ticket Master, where she thought her friends might hate her if she acted in a certain way).

    So, uh, well done. Good fic.

    Yeah, that's what I was going for. I guess since I started near the conclusion of her breakdown with the progression from sane to insane only mentioned, it loses something.
