Snowflake Dissonance


Honestly, probably only here to read, and write, fanfiction about Sunset Shimmer and the Dazzlings. Also, canon is my clay and I shall shape it as I wish.

Alternate take on the ending of Rainbow Rocks. The Dazzlings secure victory over the Rainbooms! Now it's time to make their enemies pay... or is it?

Inspired by A Dazzling Victory and When Sirens Rule, both by Jay-The-Brony

well that was interesting

Huh imagine what the dynamic would be of the other movies, if this was how it ended.

I was contentedly taking it in it until I hit this line:

That caught the Sirens’ attention and Sonata asked, “Do you wanna poke fun at Dagi, too?”

And then I burst out laughing and thoroughly enjoyed the rest of the story :pinkiehappy:

Interesting idea for a middle ground outcome, and perhaps the only mistake the sirens make canonically is freezing up when they see the alicorn without even trying to fight (or, perhaps more realistically, flee or scatter).

Well that wasn't what I was expecting

The sirens in the comics were spoiled children. They would know nothing about how to fight. We could see it in the comic, when they were defeated by simple attack from Starswirl. He didn't even break a swet. He simply pushed them with basic telekinesis through the mirror. Adagio overpowering such humongous magic beam sounds ridiculous.

8118865 I didn't read any comic aside from the EG Holiday Special. I'm writing based on the movie-verse and all my headcanons therein and pretty much nothing else. I did see a picture of Star Swirl with instruments which is where Aria's line about him come in, but I just figured that was a pony thing...

Does it? Remember they were overpowering slightly smaller magic beams in movie canon.

The comics are a secondary canon source anyway and can be ignored whenever their portrayal clashes with the animation.

8139781 There's also character interpretation. Not everyone interprets the characters the same way, so the way one person sees them is always going to be different than how another person sees them.

I really like this. It sort of puts the Dazzlings on the level of the other villains in these movies (at least the demonic ones).

I mean look at the other demonic villains then back to the canon Dazzlings.

Sunset wanted power but ultimately went about it the wrong way, Twilight wanted to understand magic and nearly destroyed reality to do it, and Gloriosa just wanted to keep her camp running but ended up going on a magic-fueled yandere kick.

They all had an innocent desires that ended up spiraling out of control. In the light of that, the canon Dazzlings are just one note a-holes.

Having the Dazzlings orchestrate the Battle of the Bands to finally win at something, while a little bit more petty, is definitely matches the innocent desire of other villains. They still have the edge in the fact that their plan never spiraled out of their control, but I digress.

tl;dr I like these Dazzlings more than the canon one.

8165819 Thank you! I've noticed I tend to write the Sirens as remorseless, magnificent bastards that take pleasure in trouble and retain their respective bad moods. This was me experimenting with writing them differently, so I'm glad you liked it!

Just one question: What? I doubt that if it took three sirens to push back the humane 6, one siren could blow up the magic of harmony in it's strongest form. Still, I loved this story and it's a interesting take on how it would've went if the Dazzling's won. :twilightsmile:

Aww, Cute!

Well, I'm still glad ya took the time to read it!

I think this could use a sequel, maybe a SoL about the sirens, or maybe something on Sonata (best siren), or the Friendship Games. Anything's cool, I'd just like a sea-quel. ba dum tsss
