Alex Warlorn


Just your average Brony who happened upon an idea that might actually turn out to be clever enough for guys to love.

T

Who is Patch?
Who is Minty?
Who is the pony Kimono, and how is she connected to Zecora?

This is great that you're moving on to the important backstory, but I have a technical question regarding the inclusion of backstory. I know this is all technically optional canon, but are you going to include "A Prologue" in this section also? You know, the one where we get introduced to anarchy? Just wondering.

Mental image: Please don't have the author freak out, please don't have him freak out!):twilightoops:

That is, the more detailed introduction to anarchy. Or is that non-canon now?

I will bear witness to many horrible and wonderful times, places and people.
They begin and end and I remember and I forget.
Who will bear witness to nothing? Everything?
Others... and me.

Mugen Kagemaru I still have your cookie. I trying to decide on how to preserve it.

1075553

I could eat it. But it would take less work to preserve it than trying to clone it into something edible.
... too much thought into this? Yeah. I miss the days I had more sanity in between my ears.

Celesia, "I am fully aware there are worlds where I fell into corruption instead of my sister. And worlds where Twilight became a selfish show off and Trixie a pony willing to learn about the bonds with others. And it is not 'the' Nightmare. You'd be VERY surprised what a tiny percent of realities where Luna's sickness was an external invader make up existence."

Oh. That answers my question I had since ep 38.

Past/Future of your story. cause and effect
It never crossed my mind that times/events/memories would be non-euclidean or not 3D? I thought too simple. I only thought of the why and not the other questions. It must have crossed my mind yet I did not see it until today.
Forgive me. I sometimes write things without paying attention to what I write. Or I don't connect the dots fully.

For anyone who reads this. I'll need a cover image for Pony POV Series Season Five: Mind Games.

And the Phantom Toll Booth.

Well, that was interesting. I wonder how many Draconequui and Alicorns there are.

Oh, and

I looked up to see a mixed-up but still somehow lithe creature. It was sitting in one of the chairs reading a book titled 'Pony POV Series, Generational Transitions by Alex Warlorn.' It wasn't a part of my library.

That was amusing.

Aunt Galaxia I presume?

Also, I am now just a tad confused. Why are they being turned into their "present" selves, when 4th generations Equestria's history actually exists? How exactly does Discord's reign fit in? What about NIghtmare Moon?

This is starting to turn out to be my least favorite fic, if only because it makes no sense. I understand that the idea is to show what happened to the '3rd generation', but then when you combine it with what we know of the '4th generation', both canon and this series's own canon, its gets....muddled from my perspective.

Hopefully there's a better explanation further on in here, otherwise I might just end up skipping this one entirely and moving on to Season 5.

1318228

Alicorn: As many are there are major Arcana minus two, originally.

Draconequus: At what point in eternity? There used to be six. But things happened.


1318253

Which chapter are you talking about?

"Also, I am now just a tad confused. Why are they being turned into their "present" selves, when 4th generations Equestria's history actually exists?"

It didn't, yet.

"How exactly does Discord's reign fit in? What about NIghtmare Moon?"

That'll all be revealed in time.

"This is starting to turn out to be my least favorite fic, if only because it makes no sense. I understand that the idea is to show what happened to the '3rd generation', but then when you combine it with what we know of the '4th generation', both canon and this series's own canon, its gets....muddled from my perspective."

Celestia is trying her hardest to explain it.

And things DO MAKE MUCH MORE SENSE down the line. And skipping this season would be a big mistake.

Since several questions are answered here.

The elders...the elders...they're...

...COMPLETE AND TOTAL IDIOTS!!!

Strife herself just proved that all that world needed was struggle, all it needed was for the cycle of death to be restarted, for darkness to be reinserted into their world! It is through struggle and conflict that we and all life grows and finds meaning, and differentiates ourselves from each other as we all grow and react to said struggle! Beings that had never fought once in their lives, beings that had never ever known conflict, and yet those she fought proved themselves more capable than she had thought.

All it needed was for Disharmony to return to it, and the world could have been saved, or at least given a chance. It would have been painful for the inhabitants, but then at least they could have gone out fighting, if they didn't have it in them to win in the end.

This right here, this is why I say to myself and all others that you cannot have good without evil, order without chaos, Harmony without Disharmony. Remove one and everything becomes stagnant, nothing but a shell. Yin and Yang.

Oh, and to Celestia and Luna, no one, and I MEAN no one, is perfect. The very fact that your Elders didn't know how to solve this any other way is proof of that.

is it just me, or do the Draconequui seem to get and understand this sort of thing more than the Alicorns?
I'm also noticing...with the other Draconequui, it seems to me that your making it out that they aren't evil, so much as representing what they are. I really like this, as it points out that at one point, maybe, Discord wasn't as mad as he is now.

Rainbow Sparkle: Hmm...so this is what you meant. I do have to ask though Celestia...what do the rest of Discord's family think of Discord now? Is that why he remains imprisoned, because they realize that he'd gone too far?

1323944

Um. No.

The problem was the mountain load of contradictions on top of contradictions on top of contradictions. The timeline had turned into a cancerous mess.

Destruction sounds like a very interesting character...also sounds kinda like me when someone gets my temper boiling enough.

The link doesn't seem to work anymore Alex, did the art get deleted or renamed?

Now this was truly glorious, but once again in my mind points out that even the elders, the parents, aren't even perfect. I also have to say that I'm loving how your portraying Discord, simply marvelous is a vast understatement. Discord is shining greater than he ever has in any fanfic I've read of him with him being a badguy.

Ah, there's the sick demented Discord we know and love.

Yes, Yes, YES! DISCORD SINGING THE SECOND RATE SONG THINGY!!! YES!!!

1330638

The worst part is that he doesn't embrace the practical application of his purpose in creation like his siblings do. Everything is a breeding project to Strife. Anarchy hates authority and drags his feed when his responsibility as a part of the family comes calling. And ________ really loved seeing mortals ________ with their imagination and _______, which is why Pandora (the spirit of creativity expression in it's good and bad forms), liked ___ the most before __ got erased by Entropy erased her own child for challenging her. And Discord, well, you can see how much he loves to spread disharmony and chaos. Destruction's problem is like an addiction he has to keep a lid on.

1330755 I have no idea which chapter or link you even speak of.

1330638 And the draconequus who got unmade? Discord was the ONLY member of his family laughing and clapping when it happened.

"Sir Big Machintosh! Ye shall return the fair doll of maiden Twilight Sparkle or face my lance!" Called Spike's voice.

Big Mac sighed and came out. "Look kiddo, it was cute the first but seriously, I'm tired of bucking you all the way back to Twili's. I hate trouncing guys who don't stand a chance. You really need to stop this before I accidentally hurt you and-" The piece of wheat fell out of Big Mac's mouth as his jaw fell open.

There was Twilight Sparkle, carrying Spike. Decked out in medieval armor of her own. "Ye shall most assuredly return younger Smarty Pants to my shackle or face our chivalry!" Declared Twilight as she lowered the visor.

"The gals at school are never gonna believe this." Applebloom said looking at the window.

Best. Ending. Ever. I can totally see Twilight decked out in the armor, a challenging smile on her face. I have to wonder though, what exactly inspired her to help Spike in getting the doll back...I'm sure it has something to do with all that she's been told, but I don't for the life of me know exactly what.

A question to Celestia: Have you seen any timelines that have you, you personally, reaching the Discord as a kid that you knew after the memory spell restored your memories?

1336595

" . . . I'd rather not talk about it . . ."

1336595

Spike and Smarty Pants are both very dear to her. And she was reminded of that dearness from what Celestia told her of her happy life with the G1 ponies.

Bottom of chapter 7, and I quote

(A link to an image of the Anti-Mother Of Creation http://wolfram-and-hart.deviantart.com/art/Celestia-Shall-I-Speak-With-Entropy-301440654 )

Huh...that's odd, the link works now. When I was trying to get to it before it gave me a 404 error...
1340762
My dear princess, please pardon me for pressing...but you did just share all the rest of that with us (we semi-everpresent interviewers) and your student. To recollect it shouldn't be too painful, as I'm sure there are other timelines out there where things went worse, of which I don't even need to begin to suggest to you the possibilities, I'm sure.

But if you truly do not wish to speak of it, I shall abide by your wish. I am merely a curious being seeking to gain more knowledge and understanding. I am certain that such a path had its own consequences, some of which might not have been better or worse (as it seems all things balance out in the end of things)

omg... there are so much details in this season that i'm geting very confused :S Too much to follow i guess. Still, this is by far the most developped storyline i have ever seen! You sir are a great writer. :pinkiesmile:

Links works now, also... someone dares to assume what Entropy looks like? Meh, their probably dead already. Also I'm waiting for Pinkie Pie to appear and claim this was how she earned her cutie mark..... like a boss.

1631018

Pinkie Pie, "NOt really, they're alright. And it's not how I earned my cutie mark, Minty . .. . Minty . , , excuse me."

Someone needs to take it upon themselves to sacrifice their life to fill out a detailed story progression chart for Alex... not it!

1631210

Minty? What about her, or are you referring to me? :derpytongue2:

. . . .

...............

Could I possibly BE Minty!? :pinkiegasp: :pinkiehappy:

Le' gasp! And onward to the FUTURE!!!!!! :scootangel:

How is it that these stories are so unknown. They are even on TV Tropes....

Oh, and I seem to be shedding tears while reading this.

You know something went horribly wrong when you start thinking the author is the real villain

1758408

I need better advertisement.

And thank you.

And I don't know if that's a compliment or not on that last one.

1758459

True. I will certainly be telling my couple of other friends about this series.

Your welcome

Me neither. I find meta-fics fascinating. (assuming that is the correct term for a story that treats itself as a story)
I really have no idea how to explain why. Also, Its something between Gone horrible Wrong, and Gone horrible Right. Or something. I think the special this is where even with that the story still has that... Something... That makes it seem real, despite being a story treating itself as a story.

Does that make any sense?

Two things:

The name's Anarchy. Got it memorized?

I take it he's based on Axel?

That means you get to become a somebody, opposed to a nobody destined to fade into the heartless darkness, unversed in your own emotions.

Whoa! We've got a major Kingdom Hearts fan here!!!:pinkiegasp:

2236111

FINALLY SOMEPONY NOTICED THOSE! :D :D :D :D :D

Read this in a night, great stuff

2236535 So do I get a cookie for being the first and only one to notice how a good bit of this season had multiple Shout Outs to Kingdom Hearts?

2250013

Yes. It's sad how no one updates the shot out page anymore these days. A lot of people didn't notice it before it was explained to them.

"Is anyone not of mixed heritage?"

"Twilight Sparkle, what makes you think in this day and age anypony -isn't-?

Two things: First, it needs a quotation mark at the end. Second, that would be a massive Wham Line for Onyx Tiara and Diamond Tiara if they somehow heard it!
