Knackerman


I am the Knackerman. Most of my writing deals with horror, suspense, and tragedy. And yes, there will be gore.

Comments ( 146 )

It took me way to long to realize this exist, uh I kind of ran out of steam on reading this series by part 4, I'll blame it on accidentally spoiling myself at the middle of part 4 when I read a comment at the last chapter.

Maybe I'll give a last hurrah for the Candy mare next week, although my faith in anyone surviving from the hell of this 'thing' is severely broken.

The dedication for keeping the candy mare original universe or universes if you include the lot of dead Equestria's alive is unmarvaled in anywhere of the form.

On a scale of 1-10 I'd give you a 10 because I consider the "Candy Mare" to be one of the 2nd most powerful creepy pasta's right up their next to "Slender Man" because of what she's able to do. Not to mention the fact that theirs very little you can do against her. Awesome fanfic by the way.

Yes I love the Candy Mare!!!!!!:pinkiehappy:

"Down here, nimrod," replied a youthful voice. Sure enough, on the seat of the tall chair and just beneath their line of sight, there sat the master. "Golly, it's about time you got here! My name is Cozy Glow, but you can call me 'Master' if you want to."

I almost spat out a mouth full of food onto my computer screen when I saw "Cozy Glows" name. Now things are starting to get very interesting.

Oh god, She's about to conquer heaven!

Can't wait to see how the next fanfic turns out to be. Though since she conquered hell, the chances of heaven beating her back and living through this is 20% while the chances of her conquering heaven are a absolute 100%. Due to devouring and candifying all sinners and demons in hell. I have completely read this entire fanfic in just a day, Its amazing how you kept the universes that she's conquered alive throughout this story.

Now I just wonder, will she meet her mother in the next story?

Whelp, look's like i'm not the only one to like Dante, Shakespeare and Shelly, because if not then you wouldn't have made Patch such a great hero of her story, you honestly need to revisit all of the previous installments fix the spelling errors and some of the grammar errors and call ministry of image to compile them all in a book. You just combined the ancient and Shakespearean tragedies with the divine comedy and Frankenstein with this installment of the series and just rewrote the later but in pony form and a little bit more entertaining than the original. Congrats you just wrote the best series of mlp fanfiction that will ever exist and managed to turn it from a grim-dark series into a tragedy of ancient proportions

Reliving the pain she caused.

Well, that's unexpected.

Spider Mastermind got crunched.

Her every hair stiffened

this is not actually a grammar mistake more a logic mistake but how is it possible for the candy mare to have hair when her body id made of sugar sweets? and yes now i start skimming and see where you made the mistakes we talked about under the reddit post

explains why your here

um i think that's an "you're"

feasting on the fat of babes

i hope you wanted to say babies in here

They would know you for the compassionate devil that I know you for

i don't think compassionate is the right word there, incompassionate maybe..., but not compassionate

“Unfortunately the powers that be seem to agree with you on that score,”

i feel like something is missing here, don't know what but i feel this sentence is incomplete in the middle of it, or you forgot a comma

well that did give her just a little bit of cold comfort.

here you either need this: "..." or a comma after well, to obtain the effect you wanted

Well, as you said, enough idle banter eh

missed a comma after banter

10483652

um i think that's an "you're"

Good catch.

i hope you wanted to say babies in here

This is an example of a word changing definition overtime.

You are thinking of the slang word babe, as in a sexually attractive individual. However, the original definition of a babe is an infant or young child. Hence the movie 'Babes in Toyland' is a movie based off an operetta about children journeying to a land where toys are alive rather than a porno.

So babe 100% means babies here, more or less.

i don't think compassionate is the right word there, maybe..., but not compassionate

Apparently my spellcheck doesn't think that incompassionate is a word and auto-corrected it. It absolutely was incompassionate when I first wrote it.

here you either need this: "..." or a comma after well, to obtain the effect you wanted

Only if I want there to be a pause there, which I don't.

missed a comma after banter

Fair enough.

Thanks

she knew the days work was done

the form you want to put there is "day's"

farm pony had certainly worked up a hearty appetite

missed a "the" there

But where then was her father

then should be between commas

Had he perhaps gone home ahead of her as well

between "he" and "perhaps" either put a coma, or two comas around "perhaps"

through the dry stalks as dusk settled in and the on-rush of night loomed across the eastern sky

I feel that the "on-rush" part is either missing something or you just need to settle on just "rush"

the Earth Pony's bounty

pretty sure you didn't wanted to capitalize those words

As she made her way across the field to the old wooden barn, the last glimmering rays of sunset slipped away like the last grains of sand in an hourglass, and the world entered that soft hour of twilight that you only get just after dusk and just before dawn.

you either have two useless commas in there or you misplaced the last one that should've been before "to the wooden barn" or, even better, add one after "soft hour of twilight"

picked clean already of their dead and dried leaves

even if it works like this fine it's better if already will be between comas because it adds a different lyricism to the sentence

explain the dearth of animal noises

i'm not sure if you wanted to make sound like it's in the context of the story putting dearth in there, but you should change it with death or with deft, because, honestly, it doesn't work

Why then did the little pony suddenly hear something like a girlish giggle clear as crystal, high and sharp, just on the edge of her hearing?

suddenly between commas and a comma after giggle, it works better and it reads and sounds better

Keep calm, and carry on

that coma is useless there, it sounds fine even without it

he farm pony hurried to the front of the barn and decided that instead of taking the short walk home she would instead duck into the wooden shelter for a moment, just to make sure her father wasn't inside and somehow hadn't heard her calling for him.

"instead of taking the short walk home" and the second instead between commas, both because that's how you achieve the wanted effect there

There was nothing but smoke that boiled up all around a suddenly vast, fire-lit horizon

second coma after fire lit

the sea of boiling hot lava that glowed malignantly far below in a caldera upon the edge of which she suddenly found herself precariously perched

comma after "malignantly" and "upon the edge of which" between commas

until at lasther brain spat

you need a space there

The sweet scent of caramel drifted once again to the farm pony's nose and battered through her addled senses until she finally realized that what she was looking at was a sea of molten sugar!

coma after senses

How such a thing had come to replace her warm and familiar fields,

that should be a question mark not a comma and you can keep the not capitalized "she" after it

had she not at that moment looked up into the most terrifying face she had ever seen!

at that moment must be between comas

The needle thin teeth in each of its three maws were arrayed in a predatory grins that displayed a knowing and gleeful cruelty.

comma after grins and it should be either the numeral for 3 or singular for grin there

There was a brief moment as she hung motionless in mid-air, before she rapidly receded away from the repulsive visage, that the faces looked almost familiar.

the bit after the last comma makes it feel like something is missing from there

But there was no time for the filly to truly process what she had seen as her body hit the scalding surface of the lake of caramel with a gloopy splash, and slipped with a noisome plop into the burning slimy depths.

comma after seen

The stench of her own broiling flesh

are you sure you wanted to use broiling and not boiling there?

that horrid, smiling, face, grinning down at her suffering.

the comma between smiling and face is unnecessary but it works for the effect

10484067

the form you want to put there is "day's"

missed a "the" there

you need a space there

Good catches

then should be between commas

between "he" and "perhaps" either put a coma, or two comas around "perhaps"

suddenly between commas and a comma after giggle, it works better and it reads and sounds better

I don't want a pause there, even if it is grammatically incorrect.

that coma is useless there, it sounds fine even without it

That comma is there because I do want a pause there. Even if it sounds fine without it.

I feel that the "on-rush" part is either missing something or you just need to settle on just "rush"

Actually just needed to remove the dash. Onrush is a word and it was the word I meant to use.

Definition of onrush

1
: a rushing forward or onward

pretty sure you didn't wanted to capitalize those words

I did, actually, because I'm referring to Earth Ponies as a race in general rather than just to an the earth pony this story is about in particular. The 'bounty' the sentence refers to is the bounty of all Earth Ponies rather than that of this one earth pony specifically.

you either have two useless commas in there or you misplaced the last one that should've been before "to the wooden barn" or, even better, add one after "soft hour of twilight"

Think it reads better just to lose the comma's entirely.

even if it works like this fine it's better if already will be between comas because it adds a different lyricism to the sentence

Gonna have to agree to disagree on this one, I think adding commas would just make the sentence unnecessarily choppy.

i'm not sure if you wanted to make sound like it's in the context of the story putting dearth in there, but you should change it with death or with deft, because, honestly, it doesn't work

I'm not sure what's not working for you. The sentence is saying there is a lack of usual animal noises. Death would make it sound like there had been animal noises and then they died, and deft doesn't make any sense in the context at all. I'm leaving this as is.

Definition of dearth

1
: scarcity that makes dear

2
: an inadequate supply : LACK

"instead of taking the short walk home" and the second instead between commas, both because that's how you achieve the wanted effect there

Think I'm just going to replace the first 'instead' with 'rather'.

comma after grins and it should be either the numeral for 3 or singular for grin there

Why use the numeral? The word three should be fine. Though I think I'll take out that 'a'.

the bit after the last comma makes it feel like something is missing from there

Put the comma in the wrong part of the sentence. Fixed.

are you sure you wanted to use broiling and not boiling there?

Yes. To Broil something is to cook it on direct heat, specifically meat, which usually leads to the meat roasting in its own juices. Boiling would imply that she was being liquefied by the caramel and her flesh was vaporizing instead of getting burnt and slowing off as was stated earlier in the paragraph.

the comma between smiling and face is unnecessary but it works for the effect

I do like dramatic pauses, sometimes.

Thanks

after the she had been spat out of Limbo

either something is missing here or something needs to not be here

she had ended up in a part of the realm infernal

if it wasn't you, your autocorect is a bitch, it should be the other way around for the "realm infernal"

Don’t try to scare me, Lemon Drop,

this doesn't end with a comma, and you know it

As they crossed out of the realm of howling winds and shrieking spirits a change came over the weather

are you sure you don't want a comma after spirits?

The grey rain made the muddy terrain far colder than it should be as it slid up the Candy Mare’s legs, thanks in large part to the relatively hotter realm the pair of ponies had just exited.

wow... ok... so: comma after should be, relativelly hotter between comas and coma after realm, but the last one is not necessary

, as normal water might have given enough exposure

there's either a comma after might have, comma after might or something's missing from here

Was watching her wade through this foul sewage all it took to crack that false veneer of affected rationalism to reveal the true smug sense of superiority that lurked within him?

this either needs a comma after rationalism or doesn't

Of course all this useless flailing led to was each sinner getting more and more tangled

comma after led to

The unicorn's back was to her as he seemed to be preoccupied with contemplating the vast wetland that stretched before them.

something is missing in here, after was i think you wanted to write turned

As the molten giant slid down, down, beneath the waves of battle there was a brief moment it seemed that the crown they rode on might sink as well

i don't think the second comma after the second down is really necessary, better move it after battle if you want to keep it and after "there" the sentence feels incomplete and it feels that a "when" or "where" should bee after moment

it seems that altough you want to use and know how to use apositions you forogot that they need to be separated by commas, even if this means that they brake the peace you originally intended

10484133
dearth also means hunger and that is why i was confused

10484166

if it wasn't you, your autocorect is a bitch, it should be the other way around for the "realm infernal"

Actually a semi-reference to the Realm Eternal, which is a title of Asgard. I should have capitalized it here.

this doesn't end with a comma, and you know it

True, that's just a typo.

are you sure you don't want a comma after spirits?

I guess I will this time. It's kind of a run on sentence otherwise.

something is missing in here, after was i think you wanted to write turned

Nope. 'His back was to her' means just that, his back was facing her. But since backs do not usually have a face, that would be a silly thing to say.

thanks

She couldn't remember, try though she might.

i think is try tough as she might

Yes of course,

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this expression usually written with a coma or exclamation sign after bot of the terms? it's fine as it is but I'm just asking, even if it would work better with the exclamation signs after bot yes and of course, again with keeping the following word non capitalized since it doesn't affect the phrase and it is grammatically correct

As she came to the door the young mare didn't hesitate in knocking, though after her tiny hoof thundered at the door a moment she began to wonder what it was that she would say to the pony who lived here.

these are two separate phrases and the best way to write them is period after knocking and comma after tough

might go a-guising

you sure that dash is necessary there?

Please excuse me, I'm sorry to disturb you,

again with the coma at the end of a sentence

Off in the distance it was replace by the tinkling of broken glass

that was meant to be replaced right?
if you used:

the cloths the manikins displayed.

then why have you used

hid behind one of the wooden mannequins

, the ponified version, the second time?

also
10483508
considering your profile pic that is a great statement to be said

10484238

i think is try tough as she might

I could replace 'though' with 'as' and it would be the same sentence, but just adding 'as' in doesn't make sense, and the difference isn't a significant enough one to bother with.

correct me if I'm wrong but isn't this expression usually written with a coma or exclamation sign after bot of the terms? it's fine as it is but I'm just asking, even if it would work better with the exclamation signs after bot yes and of course, again with keeping the following word non capitalized since it doesn't affect the phrase and it is grammatically correct

If it were an exclamation I would have used an exclamation mark, but this is more of an introspective thought, not really an 'aha!' moment. There is usually a comma when it is an exclamation though, you are right about that, but you are also right that it doesn't really need one here.

As she came to the door the young mare didn't hesitate in knocking, though after her tiny hoof thundered at the door a moment she began to wonder what it was that she would say to the pony who lived here.

If I did that there would also need to be a comma after moment. I think I'll change the 'though' to 'although'.

you sure that dash is necessary there?

Probably not but I'm wanting to invoke an old timey feel to the word choice there and I think just using a space or an apostrophe would just confuse people.

again with the coma at the end of a sentence

If my spell checker could also detect punctuation typos we wouldn't be here to begin with.

that was meant to be replaced right?

Yup.

manikins & mannequins

Actually mannequin is not a 'ponified' version of the word, A mannequin is the type of doll that is typically used to display fashion, while a manikin is a type of doll typically used as a medical or scientific display of anatomy.

I'd like to say I was being clever here and was hinting at something grotesque about the displays, but in truth I just used the wrong version of the word there and spell checker did not catch it. 'Mannequin' is the correct term in this context.

Thanks

of any more import than I

is import used with the modern meaning or the meaning of importance here?

The sour expression Lemon Drop gave her then almost made the trip to Hell worth it.

well here even if you don't want to put the comma after then it is necessary to make the sentence more bearable to read

“Oh, not all,

two things, not at all and the coma typo that you seem to make a lot when that kind of breaking in dialogue happens

Once their berth came

you sure that you don't want to use boat? i don't think a floating bead is what a crown should be called, even in the given context

his attention elsewhere

i think a was is missing from here other wise it sounds wrong

"Oh, I see!" the candy coated corpse piped up, with a giggle and grin of her own. "You must be the welcoming committee! Well I must say, it's about time! Here I've been in your shit-stain of a city for all of five seconds and I've yet to be accosted by some low-life, bottom feeding scum like you! I was beginning to feel a little left out considering all of the attention everyone else has been getting. Why, I was even feeling a little insulted that the local skanks and slimeballs weren't crawling out from beneath their rocks to greet me. Good to see that isn't the case anymore."

The hellspawn sniffed, her smile faltering. "Who's your cocky little friend, Lemon Drip? She has quite the mouth on her."

"Lemon Drip! Oh that's funny!" a bark of fake laughter leapt from the Candy Mare's mouth. "I had no idea you demons were supposed to be funny! I guess it must come from failing so miserably at being the least bit intimidating or scary. From the pathetic look of you lot, I have a feeling you're far better at coaxing laughter from your victims than screams. Oh, maybe one or two lost souls will give you poor fools a little pity scream now and then, to keep up appearances. But I seriously doubt you hodgepodge creatures could strike fear into the hearts of much more than a baby bunny rabbit.”

no grammar problems just wanted to say that this is the best characterization you could've done to the candy mare even the sick burn is in sink with her character

black, though a few wisps of strangely luminescent fog

yup i think every time you want to use though in this kind of context although is better

Without know exactly how high up she was, it seemed like too much of a gamble to just leap to the ground below.

i think the word you were seeking was knowing

he monsters one by one moved from the vibrating form

one by one between comas as it is an apposition

eaten though it was,

i'm pretty sure as is better than tough in here

had raged for time immemorial

i don't think "for time immemorial" works here i think "from immemorial times" is better

Around every corner was some hapless soul being tormented, common street theater to entertain the burnouts and pain addicted sadists most of the inhabitants of the demonic capital were turning out to be.

so you did went in advance and changed some of the mistakes and added new things to the story, anyway i think this phrase is still broken, not sure if the comma between tormented and common being replaced by a simple by would change much it's meaning but a second comma between sadists and most is necessary any way

or another peddling shriveled up souls or pimping

between up and souls might need a with otherwise this feels incomplete

it was as nothing compared to the carnage that the devils inflicted on one another.

either drop as, or write happened after nothing because if you don't this phrase feels incomplete

ifit were not

never herd of the word ifit

that wasinside

what's with all this missing the space between words?

one to the to the other by long

one of the to the's needs to drop

one to the to the other by long

latinised or normal spelling, make up your mind

what they had told heard from the

either a comma or an or between told and heard

After the chill that rose from the pit, the warmth that the bowls of magical flame gave off was quite welcome, and far from the stench of the smoke found elsewhere in Hell the heady aroma they gave off was like sweet incense.

after Hell you need a coma

I find myself feeling sorry for the Daughter of Thrace...
Um, by Thrace, do you refer to the region in Southeast Europe?

10484927
Sort of, more the mythological version of it.

The implication is that the demoness is a descendant of the Mares of Diomedes. They were a herd of wild, flesh eating creatures that terrorized Thrace.

Since FiM borrowed a lot from Greek mythology I thought it would be appropriate to include a few monsters and terrors from that mythos in Hell.

10485123
Oh, thanks! I like that idea very much.

As if Pumpkin Patch's life and death weren't sad enough...
You, Knackerman, are truly remarkable.

I don't even know how I feel about this new development.
Top contendors: amazement with a side of bewilderment, maybe a dash of triumph

10484298

is import used with the modern meaning or the meaning of importance here?

Importance. Remember that Lemon Drop died before the founding of Equestria, so he has a very archaic mode of speech at times.

well here even if you don't want to put the comma after then it is necessary to make the sentence more bearable to read

Fiiiine.

two things, not at all and the coma typo that you seem to make a lot when that kind of breaking in dialogue happens

I did mean 'not all' there though, in reference to Lemon Drop saying that the Candy Mare thought she had it 'all worked out'. She's saying she does have it partially worked out, but not all. The comma thing though, I fix.

you sure that you don't want to use boat? i don't think a floating bead is what a crown should be called, even in the given context

I wasn't referring to the crown as a bed and I certainly wouldn't call it a boat as a n alternative anyways, since it is definite not a boat. I was using the first definition of berth, to refer to the crown coming up to its landing point a few yards away from the wall of flames.

noun

  1. 1.
    a ship's allotted place at a wharf or dock.

I can see where that might not be very clear though, so I'll rework the sentence.

no grammar problems just wanted to say that this is the best characterization you could've done to the candy mare even the sick burn is in sink with her character

Glad you approve! :pinkiehappy:

10484366

yup i think every time you want to use though in this kind of context although is better

I mean, either works, but I think I agree.

i think the word you were seeking was knowing

Yup.

i'm pretty sure as is better than tough in here

No, gonna have to disagree with that. 'As' would imply I'm comparing the figure to something that is not as eaten up as it is, where as the sentence is about it being recognizable 'even though' she is half eaten.

Thanks though.

10484432

i don't think "for time immemorial" works here i think "from immemorial times" is better

It might sound better to you that way, but 'time immemorial' is a common phrase used in speech and writing, and I like the grandsons cadence of it.

so you did went in advance and changed some of the mistakes and added new things to the story, anyway i think this phrase is still broken, not sure if the comma between tormented and common being replaced by a simple by would change much it's meaning but a second comma between sadists and most is necessary any way

Haven't edited any chapters since I posted the story, no.

between up and souls might need a with otherwise this feels incomplete

'Shriveled up with souls'? That doesn't make sense... I'm describing the souls being shriveled, not the abominations selling them.

never herd of the word ifit

one of the to the's needs to drop

Good catch.

what's with all this missing the space between words?

I might have edited this chapter on my phone. :pinkiecrazy:

one to the to the other by long

latinised or normal spelling, make up your mind

I think you quoted the wrong thing there. What was spelled differently?

either a comma or an or between told and heard

Actually meant to drop 'told' there.

Thanks

10485856
daemon and demon, i don't know why it copied the same thing again

get away from at all costs.

sorry for the break but i spent a night with the first batch, and again sorry but you need a coma after the from, because that break will emphasizes the later part and it makes more sense both grammatically and lyrically

Something that was hunting her, even now.

i think "that" needs to drop or you need to write it as that something and ad a coma after it

mare's every instinct

not asking you to change it since it makes sense but a better alternative is "very instincts" since, in this context, it adds more tension and describes how deary is Patch's situation in reality

turned around it was hard to say

sorry but a break is necessary after around so a comma is needed

but the farm pony just had to...

Keep. Moving.

not sure if that new paragraph was necessary there since the effect is the same with or without that break in the paragraph, both the visual one and the lyrical one

toward exactly what she

I'm pretty sure Exactly could be between commas those two brakes will help with the pacing of the phrase, but this is just up to you

Are these my thoughts, or someone else's?

question mark and capitalized "o" of "on" would have the same effect

Can I really trust my own senses, my own thoughts anymore, after everything I've seen? After what I've... after what I've done?

same as before, every comma changed with question mark and the normal lettering after them in the first part of this paragraph amd one question mark after the three dots with normal sentence-case afterwards

It went beyond that, though, didn't it?

are you sure this is not one of her thoughts? It'll make more sense

As if in answer there was

comma after answer other wise the sentence is to long

causing firenados break out.

there's a to missing in here

the tiny body had clearly belonged to a filly

you are missing a that in here

From beneath a tiny blue bonnet there spilled curly red hair that framed a face flecked with freckles. It was the eyes that truly arrested her attention. Though they were blank and lifeless, they still shone a familiar brilliant green as they looked up at her accusingly.

you had a chance to redescribe patch here for the ones that only started to read from this part of the series, although i don't remember you fully describing her ever in the series, except maybe for the sunset encounter and the every time you described the candy mare, but you didn't took that chnce

The sick rules of the game her tormentors were playing with her had allowed her to forget for a time.

her tormentors were playing with her between commas otherwise the pacing is broken

She was becoming what she hated and feared the most...

Herself.

unnecessary paragraph break here, the effect was achieved already if you would've just put Herself in italics after the three dots

"Wait...what? Is this some kind of joke? Am I being punked?" The Candy Mare looked around the room as if she expected to find a hidden camera crew. "You're seriously supposed to be the 'master' these two have been going on and on about?"

NGL everyone who hasn't seen any of Cozzy Glow episodes would have the same reaction

"Believe it or not bitch," Cozy Glow replied with a flash of her teeth. "You're looking at the ruler of Hell!"

and that is a perfect Cozzy for you also starting from this point on you should go and change all the commas at the end of sentences/phrases with periods, this chapter is filled with them and i won't point all of them, but I'll say this: the next one is in the next paragraph

it seemed hat cleaning his glasses didn't improve what he was seeing in the least. "How exactly did a foal come to rule the underworld?"

that hat is either a what or a that also perfect reaction for those who haven't seen any of Cozzy's episodes

That kind of idiotic posturing is what keeps this place mired in the past."

I don't think CVozzy would use old English

"Is he always like this?" asked Cozy Glow, with a tilt of her head.

"Constantly." deadpanned the Candy Mare.

"Yeah, I can see why you murdered him,"

you couldn't help to roast lemon drop there, could you?

"You mean to tell me... hahahaha! That her very existence... mwahahaha! Is dependent on me!?"

just for the effect of the next revealing to be more ironical you could have added the turning tables saying here

evaporate. Poof

a comma is sufficient here

I tracked him down after I got sent back downtown and sorry to say he didn't live up to my expectations.

this sentence is way to long, better put a comma somewhere in there, i may suggest after say, for a better effect,either that or sorry to say between commas for the same effect

greenish-black ichor.

ichor or lichor? since it's the candy mare and i don't think she has blood

"You little shit,"

you sure this is not an exclamation?

almost admiringly as she wiped the goo from her throat,

I just realized that that coma typo might have been made even in the narrator's explanations

Until then,

I think the three dots work better here

"Yup! What's the mattered?"

i think it's matter here

"Oh, I very much doubt it was anything like this,"

again, you sure it's not an exclamation point here?

10486275

sorry for the break but i spent a night with the first batch, and again sorry but you need a coma after the from, because that break will emphasizes the later part and it makes more sense both grammatically and lyrically

No worries.

turned around it was hard to say

Fair enough.

not sure if that new paragraph was necessary there since the effect is the same with or without that break in the paragraph, both the visual one and the lyrical one

unnecessary paragraph break here, the effect was achieved already if you would've just put Herself in italics after the three dots

Fiiiine.

I'm pretty sure Exactly could be between commas those two brakes will help with the pacing of the phrase, but this is just up to you

Yeah, that makes sense there.

are you sure this is not one of her thoughts? It'll make more sense

I was iffy on that one, but if you think it works, sure.

there's a to missing in here

Indeed there is.

you are missing a that in here

I don't see where adding a that would help. I could replace 'the' with 'that' if you think that would read better though.

you had a chance to redescribe patch here for the ones that only started to read from this part of the series, although i don't remember you fully describing her ever in the series, except maybe for the sunset encounter and the every time you described the candy mare, but you didn't took that chnce

Yes I was intentionally keeping it vague, with more than enough hints for long time readers, so that if there were still anyone in the audience who hadn't figured it out it would keep them guessing. I know it seems like this is the moment of the big reveal for long time fans, but the confirmation of that reveal comes later.

Thanks

and that is a perfect Cozzy for you also starting from this point on you should go and change all the commas at the end of sentences/phrases with periods, this chapter is filled with them and i won't point all of them, but I'll say this: the next one is in the next paragraph

K.

that hat is either a what or a that also perfect reaction for those who haven't seen any of Cozzy's episodes

That.

I don't think CVozzy would use old English

Ah, but the Cozy we are familiar with from the show also wouldn't swear. She's a very slightly different Cozy who is far older than the one we are used to, likely from an alternate universe, though still similar enough to be recognizable.

you couldn't help to roast lemon drop there, could you?

In an entire realm full of sinners and demons, yeah he still deserves it.

just for the effect of the next revealing to be more ironical you could have added the turning tables saying here

Seems a little cliche, although 'my how the tables have turned' would be appropriate in this situation.

this sentence is way to long, better put a comma somewhere in there, i may suggest after say, for a better effect,either that or sorry to say between commas for the same effect

Fair enough.

ichor or lichor? since it's the candy mare and i don't think she has blood

Ichor. The implication is rather than wounding her candy body, the slash to lemon drops throat wounded what passed for her soul. Since she is a magical entity, it is ichor rather than blood that flows through her veins.

i·chor
/ˈīkôr/
noun

  1. 1.
    GREEK MYTHOLOGY
    the fluid that flows like blood in the veins of the gods.

you sure this is not an exclamation?

again, you sure it's not an exclamation point here?

No, that definitely should be an exclamation.

I just realized that that coma typo might have been made even in the narrator's explanations

Ugh. I was going to have to go back through anyways, might as well look for both at the same time.

i think it's matter here

Yup.

Thanks

not quiet

i think that was supposed to be quite

Beneath her hooves the soft squelch of raw flesh and the occasional moan of pain and terror let her know that the interior of the castle was composed of the same materials that the exterior had been.

comma after beneath her hooves, because the phrase is to long and needs a break and that is the only place where it makes sense and maybe another one after terror

stretched betwixt bent and bloody bone

you either put betwixt between commas or rewrite the whole thing in a way that makes more sense

smells, and

useless comma is useless

nothing This was her home,

and missing period is missing

Its fierce, ugly beauty a testament

you sure you don't want a comma after beauty?

10486476

i think that was supposed to be quite

Yup, sure was.

comma after beneath her hooves, because the phrase is to long and needs a break and that is the only place where it makes sense and maybe another one after terror

Fair enough.

useless comma is useless

Well it was a list of the things disorienting her like - this, that, and the other - but if you think it's unnecessary so be it.

and missing period is missing

Yeah...

you sure you don't want a comma after beauty?

It sounds right either way to me, but since it doesn't change the cadence I'll make the change.

Thanks

I don't see where adding a that would help. I could replace 'the' with 'that' if you think that would read better though.

between body and had

Slowly crawling to her hooves she opened her her eyes and swept them over her surroundings.

two things, cut a her and comma after hooves if you deem necessary

lone, tiny form

either a coma before lone or after form

With a grimace on her face she her drill chewed through the surface of the lake as quickly as it could,

either there's a comma/ suspension points missing after she or that she has to drop, otherwise the sentence feels incomplete

It was as if the Candy Mare was merely a pebble briefly distorting the underground sea,

comma between pebble and briefly, or the sentence would feel to long for the pacing

quick freezing her in place.

the word you're looking for is quickly

Good catch.

comma between pebble and briefly, or the sentence would feel to long for the pacing

Fair enough.

the word you're looking for is quickly

Nope. Quick-freeze is a word actually, and it was intentionally used since she's made of candy.

quick-freeze
/ˈkwikˌfrēz/

verb
gerund or present participle: quick-freezing

  1. freeze (food) rapidly so as to preserve its nutritional value.

Thanks

She climbed stairs that let out onto empty balconies, opened doors that led to nowhere,

I understand why the let is in there but it also works with led

yet always before she had turned away before reaching this final chamber.

after the first before you need a comma

Something was different this time though. Something had changed.

that period after tough could be a simple comma

In her heart of hearts, this was what she knew this creature reflected what she had become.

comma after knew otherwise the sentence won't make sense

You can hunger for freedom. For love. For revenge. For destiny.

why are this periods? this is an enumeration, they must be commas, you can keep the last period tough the one after destiny

Every twisted soul here is one of our victims!

I'm pretty sure that you could actually say this with an in before here and make it sound more accurate but the way you did it is also OK

"I don;t understand,

now that's a weird spelling for don't and honestly who doesn't misstype those keys?

I did not miss this you know

comma after this even without the question mark that's the way to write that phrase

judge, jury, and executioner.

another useless coma after jury, in an enumeration and can substitute the coma, there are times where a coma before and works but only because that and is not part of an enumeration

"Though since you lot are already dead,

this sentence makes no sense i feel that there's something missing in here but i don't know what

“It’s a wise suggestion,'

i guess you haven't made it to this chapter with the comma typo check, this is the first one in here so no worries

For the briefest moments ,Cozy Glow seemed

that's not where you put a coma but given that is the last chapter before the epilogue and until now you placed them in the right place, it's excusable

Casually, he took a handkerchief

a handkerchief? i thought you were supposed to wear only one in the pocket does lemon drop wears one in every pocket? Is he that of a snob? Who does that thing anyway?

clambering over one another as they tried to escape whatever it was that had terrified them so.

so what? don't get me wrong is good as it is but some would want few more words after that so, blame it on modern speech ocd

around a hapless devil

not exactly a problem but a small complain that you could have used helpless instead of hapless or even unlucky at least for this scene helpless would've been the better word and as for the previous time you could've used unlucky

Hell never stood a chance.

you can say that again

“Why the feeling of being exactly in the wrong place at the wrong time, of course!”

and so it starts, you did a great job on highlighting Cozy only to let both Lemon and Pumpkin take turns at who can come up with the bet mockery for her in this situation

"Wow, Cozy, you got real ugly, real fast while I was gone!"

first: great comeback from pumpkin, second: are you sure that wasn't supposed to say really?

replied the daemon

like i said make up your mind with this word's spelling, latinized or English

devils notorious liars after all

you're missing an are in here

"YoU LaCk tHe PoWEr AnD AuThOrITy!"

well deserved sick burn is well deserved considering the fact that Cozy really was so stubborn to miss or dismiss all the warning lemon gave her and also this makes Pumpkin the winner in the battle of who can shut that bitch's mouth once and for all

Stricken with awe, the thing that had been Cozy Glow was frozen beneath the glow of the behemoth's eyes. As the giagantic abomination began to lean forward, the spell was broken, and the spider-like demon tried to scuttle away. Again, the bulky creature moved with deceptive speed, but this time she was not fast enough. Before she could get far, the false master found her limbs hopelessly ensnared by tendrils of liquorice hair twined around her limbs, as the laughing and cavorting Candy Mare clones held the demon in place. All her armor, all her intellect, and she could not pull herself free!

"No! Let me go! I command you!" the devil sent out a psychic order, all traces of the creatures cute filly voice abandoned. But the mastermind was drug down as more and more clones swarmed her body. The hellspawn just managed to reach out a single limb towards her minion, Grogar, the hatred in her beady red eyes replaced by a look of desperate pleading. "Please! Grogar! Help me!"

Lemon Drop and Grogar glanced at one another. The old goat removed the blade of magic from the unicorn's throat. He stepped forward, his horns glowing with sulfurous black and yellow light.

Then the father of monsters spat in the face of his former 'master'.

The look of betrayal and disbelief on the demons face was quickly replaced by pain as the hovering titan leaned down and seized her in its three massive maws. This elicited and unexpectedly a high pitched squeal from the false lord of hell as her juicy brains popped from the pressure of the gigantic jaws. The mouths on either side of the giants face went to work as well, crunching through the thick exoskeleton of the creatures limbs with gusto, slurping up the gore and fluid that gushed from within the armored shell. As the mouths ripped and tore at their succulent prize, the fat demons body burst, spilling the huge guts from her body to dangle down to the Candy Mare clones below. The sugary abominations cavorted and spun about in the dangling organs, as the demons trapped within their candy flesh wept tears that sizzled as they left tracks down their new candy faces.

well deserved just deserts are well deserved

As the tidal wave of candy carnage crashed over the capital city of Hell, it subsumed the City of Dis in gingerbread towers and crumbling cookie edifices of sugar and suet.

you sure you didn't wanted to say sugar and sweets?

why are this periods? this is an enumeration, they must be commas, you can keep the last period tough the one after destiny

I think I was trying to be dramatic.

now that's a weird spelling for don't and honestly who doesn't misstype those keys?

I'm usually pretty good at catching those kinds of errors though, dunno how this one eluded me.

this sentence makes no sense i feel that there's something missing in here but i don't know what

The Candy Mare is referring to all of the dead souls trapped in ice who are locked inside unending nightmares where they are essentially torturing themselves. Since they are already dead, dying from their torments just resets the scenerio of the nightmare, over and over again, making it a never ending nightmare. What might be throwing you is the phrase 'you lot' which is an idiom used to refer to a group collectively.

Pronoun. you lot. (idiomatic, colloquial, chiefly Britain, may have disparaging nuance) You (plural). You lot had better knock it off.

Thanks

a handkerchief? i thought you were supposed to wear only one in the pocket does lemon drop wears one in every pocket? Is he that of a snob? Who does that thing anyway?

Yes, he is that much of a snob. He is basically a Victorian dandy. He likes to put on airs like he's some high noble, but he's actually overcompensating for the fact he was a nobody in Unicorn society.

you can say that again

Hell never stood a chance.

first: great comeback from pumpkin, second: are you sure that wasn't supposed to say really?

Yes, because it's a nod to a line from one of my favorite horror films.

like i said make up your mind with this word's spelling, latinized or English

I like both though! Just calling them demons over and over again gets stale, but devil and hellspawn over and over again gets stale too. Suffer me an occasional daemon.

you're missing an are in here

That I am.

well deserved sick burn is well deserved considering

well deserved just deserts are well deserved

Thanks!

10487149

you sure you didn't wanted to say sugar and sweets?

Yup.

The implication is that the buildings aren't just being made over in candy but also in the fat and flesh of demons, rendering them partially organic. I think describing this organic material as suet, which is also a baking component, makes for some interesting mental imagery.
