Some ponies are reasonable, and take things as face value. Some are open minded to the things they can't explain. Others, however, are stubborn. They won't give into other ponies' views, regardless of facts given. And that's fine; everypony is different, and that should never be something to judge.
Of course, some take it too far, to the point where realism and ridiculousness clash in an ongoing banter.
And when somepony comes up with a theory regarding the Apple Family's departed progenitors, Applejack may have a few choice words to say about the matter.
Just a stupid fic that no one should take seriously.

Very well written, and I'd like to see more of Tone Deaf.
"The (Supposed) Adventures of Tone Deaf"
Galaxina returns!
Booyah, baby!
But yeah, this story is worth a million laughs. So true.
Hmm, I swear I've heard that name before...oh well
Is the typo in the title intentional?
Oh, man! That was great!
What are you talking about? Tone Deaf is a terriple person, not a terrible OC. In fact, I thought she was great in a Love to Hate way! I 100% understand how the inspiration for her character comes from the stupidity of actual people that I have no business having YouTube accounts, but she was still funny because of how she made a complete ass of herself (No offense to the donkeys) and gets what she deserves.
You have NO IDEA how satisfying it was to read that part! In fact, I would love to see a series of stories about Tone Deaf where she pushes everypony's buttons and pays the price each time. That would be wonderful!
8274642
What typo?
I don't see any typo.
8274738
That's because I fixed it.
8274642
Thank you for pointing that out!
8274840
Oh. Huh.
8274463
8274699
Well, my sister and I were thinking up ideas for future stories about Tone Deaf being an idiot towards the rest of the Mane Six... We shall see...
8274619
Have you? I just chose that name for the sake of irony.
8274607
You flatter me, AD, you flatter me.
So what's her Talent?
8274863
Her special talent is music. She just happens to also be a conspiracy theorist. As you can see, she's terrible at it, so logically that can't be her special talent (I despise those Pony characters/OCs with cutie marks that define their personalities and such only to show that they've been saddled with a talent that either paints them as automatically bad, or is a talent they suck at; at least with this Cutie Mark we can say that Tone Deaf is good at SOMETHING).
8274859
Anytime, Gala.
Btw, how do you like your new theme song?
8274878
'Tis make me blusheth more.
8274891
Again, anytime.
8274868
She does have a point about Twilight. Sunset Shimmer asked to be a princess, not Twilight.
8274964
Well, Twilight doesn't have a problem with being a princess, so...
8274993
If Scootaloo has parents, then RD should have sued them for custody a long time ago.
8275033
Personally I've seen it more as 'because Celestia said so' so Twilight went along with it.
It's more jarring in Equestria Girls where Sci Twilight is an Alicorn has done nothing to earn it, while Sunset isn't and has done everything to earn it since the end of the first film. (And Rarity is DEEP in denial, and clearly DOES want to be an Alicorn.)
Personally I think it's something Princess Twilight wouldn't be consciously aware of. (I like how in the Pony Persona Series, her Shadow (the part of herself she tries to convince herself isn't there) taunts her with how she just went along with what Celestia wanted rather than deciding for herself.
8275088
If I may have my hand at this? :
I only agree with you to a small extent: yes, Celestia didn't give Twilight a choice. The whole thing came pretty suddenly, even. And yes, Twilight has had her share of doubt when it comes to her role. But if we can look to the final episode of season 4, where she lays out her destiny:
The role she CHOOSES to have! It is at this moment that she has truly accepted her role as a Princess of friendship. Regardless of whether or not Princess Celestia may have "forced" her into the role is now irrelevant, simply by those words alone.
As for the E.G. universe, though I have no idea what that has to do with this, Sunset was flat out ordering Celestia to make her royalty; the flaw with such a thing is that you don't...you don't just DO THAT. Would you go over to the Queen of England, close friend or not, and demand to be a prince/princess? (That's aside from the fact that Sunset, at the time, was a total b*tch)
Aside from that, it's been mentioned several times that the magic in the human world is different from that of the pony world; thus "ascension" must work slightly differently than that of the pony world at the least.
Finally, this story, as I said, wasn't meant to be taken seriously. you're free to believe whatever you want.
Also, I love your work. I'm, like, one of your biggest fans. It's an honor to have you read this regardless of how you feel about it.
8274993
...oh my... wouldn't that be something MLP would flat out SAY if that was TRUE? We know that they have an allergy towards the word death, not deserted island. You know what? They are stranded somewhere with no way of contacting anyone: Heaven!
They're just choosing not to live anymore.
But seriously though, canon-wise they most likely are dead. Maybe. Probably.
8275679
...please tell me you read the story and didn't just base the whole plot on the title. because I can't tell.
8275684
Pardon?
8275691
Many apologies, for I am what you humans call, an idiot.
8275088
8275546
Totally with what Galaxina said.
Gotta love those conspiracy theorists.
8274619
He used to be on this site; excellent storyteller, but he had some...ah...strong views. He's on AO3 right now under the name rhjunior, if you wanna give his stories a look-see. XD
8275826
Really? I swear, that's a total coincidence; I've never even heard of a "Reality Check" author on this site. I just chose it because it was ironic.
8275808
Indeed.
8275841
Huh; imagine that. XD
8275759
You're not an idiot at all, Sir/Lady Galaxina. An idiot wouldn't be able to write a good story. If anyone is an idiot here, it's me and only me.
8276344
Oh no, it was just a misunderstanding. so sorry. I tend to think one thing when it's really something else sometimes. and thank you very much, your words are kind.
The mentality of this generation in a nutshell.
8276867
I couldn't agree more.
Though honestly the line makes me cringe; I kept it there only because I had no idea what other line of defense one would have for thinking someone dead was actually alive.
Twilight threw up her hooves in frustration, "OH GEE, I DUNNO! LET'S FIND OUT!" She yanked out a .357 Magnum and proceeded to blow her brains ALLLLLLLLL over the place! Her body flopped down like a wet sack of concrete, with blood jetting from her shredded cranial vessels, forming a scarlet pool upon the tile floor as a flock of pigeons flew dramatically about (eat your heart out, Woo).
AJ watched the grisly scene until the last of Twilight's blood dribbled out before commenting, "Well, ah guess that proves the immorality thang wrong." She left.
But then... Twilight's body turned all silvery and liquidy and pulled itself back together! The truth, as nopony was meant to find out, was that alicornication transformed a pony into a T-1000! Because... random crossover crap, whatever... Skynet is the Matrix which lives on the Astral Plane... It makes as much sense as most of the stuff around here!
Scootaloo: "I had parents? I thought I just randomly appeared for reasons one day to fill up the missing spot of a typical school-age trio cliche."
Also, AJ's parents ARE actually alive! They were abducted by CHERNGLERNGS! And kept in PODS! And Chrysalis has been FEEDING UPON THEM THIS WHOLE TIME!!! The ponies that 'died' were actually the pair of cherngelerngs who replaced them faking their deaths with magical illusions!
But... now the dethroned Chrysalis needs their waning love more than ever to fuel her powers! If they're not found soon... they WILL die! Sucked dry of all positive emotions and murdered by the EEEEEEEEEVIL Bug Pony Queen!
(Huh... that would actually make a decent story and fit the canon as it currently stands...)
8276777
I wasn't being kind. Well I was, but mostly I was being honest, Lady/Sir Galaxina.
By the way if you want to know what I meant by my original comment, I was trying to make a joke about the title of the story. Applejack's parents aren't dead, they're just choosing not to live anymore. XD
Clearly my material needs more work. Anyway, I greatly apologize for any inconvenience I may have caused. May your story atrract many more viewers, Sir/Lady. (bows politely to you)
8277075
...dang it, that's a good joke and I spoiled it! it's not you, it's me; I'm pretty dense. That was a good one.
It's just that I'm aware that some people just read the title/summary of a story and assume to judge it from there. Again, apologies for jumping to such conclusions.
And again, thank you very much.
8276882
Dag nabbit, that would've been an awesome joke! you truly are a genius in your craft!
8276886
...that...that would make a good fan fic.
8277101
No, thank you very much for being my one man audience to that otherwise pretty lackluster joke. XD At the very least, in return for your kindness and patience I should give you a Follow.
8277119
I believe that makes you my 30th follower! Huzzah!
And it was a very good joke! Keep at it!
8277129
You are most welcome. Congrats on your 30 followers, though given that you got into the Featured Section with your story I am puzzled as to why you did not receive more followers. Oh well. Perhaps a few quick bad jokes before I resume working on my animation will be enough to crack a smile for you?
1 - Which bird is the stupidest in the world? The seagull. Because it's sea GULL-lible
2 - How do Asian people cook their food? In a JA-PAN
3 - A sniper is asked how many terrorists he sees armed with explosives. He replied that he can SEE FOUR (C4)
4 - Did you hear about the psychic midget that escaped from prison last night? The police say he is a SMALL MEDIUM at LARGE
5 - What did vegetable Moses ask the vegetable pharaoh? LETTUCE my people go!
and finally...
6 - Do you like pirate music as much as I do, Galaxina? I tell you, I'm really HOOKED on it!
8277160
...and now I love you.
8277417
(kisses your hand and bows like a fancy gentleman if you're a female)
(shakes your hand and NOTHING ELSE if you're a male)
XD
8277677
I am a female. that's quite flattering, my friend.
8275074
I'd like to hear your logic for that. Since, you know, there was an episode that clearly showed she has a home to live in.
8275088
Sci Twi didn't become an alicorn. She stole harmonic magic and used it for the wrong reason. Her transformation was into a being of corrupted magic; key word here is BEING. She pretty much became an entity of negative emotions, and Sunset became the opposite.
Alicorn is something specific to the pony world, and even then it doesn't automatically mean something good. Luna in the show was not corrupted by dark forces, she made the choice to become something bad. In fact, Luna was flat out evil, but she was still an alicorn. Why treat it like it's some sort of divine reword when we have clearly been shown that it is not the case?
8277812
Thank you! Finally, someone who gets it!
