The human condition comes with the symptoms of struggles, tragedy, and hatred; with a few rays of hope shining down, only to illuminate the true darkness that lurks among us all. Even with these existential nightmares, we must push on, accepting that this is indeed reality, the true world we experience every single day.
Right?
At least, that's what two friends keep telling themselves, as they're plunged deeper and deeper into a pony induced psychosis.

Chapters (22)
I am enjoying the story so far.
More please
I'd be remiss if i didn't adnit this. Though it wasn't -as such- enirely our faults that this happened.
We run a small business of sorts; previously a B&B, but since last year, we're doing more group bookings. Anyway, after one group left, they left behind some individually wrapped brownies. I think you can see where this is going.
My father ate one and had a terrible night. I had two and for the next couple of days wasn't sure that I existed.
Nothing worse happened, thank Celestia, but still.
To channel my second favourite non-pony character, "Welcome to the forest Everfree. Many of its denizens you do not want to see. You'd better seek shelter rather quickly, or else, well... It's you I would rather not be."

Called it.
Finally read the story it was a lot of fun to read through especially the transformation process. The story so far is pretty interesting so fare despite being a the WTF phase with two bone heads not having a proper grasp of the situation yet and just encountered Twilight and Starlight in just the moment showing that this takes place at least in season 6 or higher. Now with a story focused on two stoned morons in Equestia this is shaping up to be a very interesting setup for a story. I wonder what are their cutie marks significance to them and if any of it can be applied to them. I wonder what would happen if they eat more of those brownies in the future?
Also if you are ever looking to commission your own story cover art you can PM, you can see me DA gallery here and my Youtube Channel here.
Good luck on your story, and can'T wait to see more of it.
Somepony's in denial~.
Huh, this is certainly an interesting start. Pretty curious on where this’ll end up going.
Wow, that was one heck of a chapter. Also a little horrifying to read that detailed transformation. Those brownies were certainly something else.
Those two are in for a rude awakening tomorrow. The only question is will they keep rationalizing it as them tripping out still and hallucinating an entire world somehow or will one of them realize that this is actually real.
fun chapter, not much speculation going on looks like they really are in Equestria now and are the princesses welcomed guests.
Awesome chapter I was haft expecting Luna to come in the dreams a few times. I can't wait to see what other twisted dreams he will get from them, maybe he will start to have weird dreams with Yellow Mellow next. I wonder what Twilight will do with them, not sure why they felt they needed to help those two out in the first place other then looking life vagrants?
Dang, that was a crazy nightmare. Great chapter and now I’m really curious about the future chapters if you need to add a gore tag.
Feverland! The best non-euclidean dreampark. It's so good, you'll swear you keep waking up from it.
Fun chapter, I did greatly enjoy all the speculation of being some toy by a child with good like powers, and thinking that he is falling into some mind alteration. I can wait to see where else his paranoid mind will lead him to later on. At the moment while I do very much like the introspection I am worried that doing this might lead to the slowing down of the progression of the plot not that I am actually complaining, it's just a concern for me. I would wonder what they will be doing after they are done with breakfast, will they be kicked out to fend for themselves or will Twilight want or need them in some manner other then the friendship problem which they could mistakenly take it as more of a couples relation then actual psychological distress on their part? I don' t think They would think of staying in the castle for very long unless they realize Twilight is a princess or that she is a full on arch mage with incredible power which they think they could use to go home again, they would need a demonstration of her powers. I would guess they might try to ask Starlight and Twilight in as much information about Equestria in a not so sublet way that they could eventually realize that they aren't from around here.
To quote Twilight in the MLP movie, "Ohm... My goodness I can't handle this!"

This is great so far!! I love the characters, I’m totally hooked
That's f-a-z-e-d.
No, no. Sunny Skies is back in Hope's Hollow.
#joking
Random vivid visions that take over reality for a moment? Seems completely normal and not a sign of things to come at all.
Also how in the world did Twilight get Spike absolutely covered in flour from baking pancakes?
Yeah more proof they both need to be sent to the Happy Farm

Oops, nice catch.

You would not believe how often i see that mistake made.
Interesting chapter looks like Vanilla and Mellow are real ponies from Equestria sense there is a reference. Either they just has their souls transferred to ponies who had similar histories that just so happen to be in the Everfree Forest, that they are direct analogues of their souls they traded, they are actually possessing the ponies, they could have a history just written about them by some cosmic magic when they arrived as if this universe has to have some sense in introducing new souls about them which just so happen to have affected RP. And now that their romances is implied between them they will start getting them to wonder if their might have been something between, and get them to further fall into that endless pit of madness further regrinding they increasingly dubious grip on their sanity. Great chapter it was good to finally get them to explore Ponyville and see what they think of it all.
I imagine that's at least partially due to having no fingers.
Ding Ding! We have a winner!
I imagine that Louis -sorry; "Vanilla"- is entirely red, by this point.
Very interesting that Vanilla and Mellow apparently have a history in Equestria... I'm excited to see where this goes. And I do hope that these two actually end up in a relationship, they're really cute together
To be fair, that used to be a thing IRL, supposedly.
Sorry for taking so much time to respond I am very busy at the moment. Nice chapter, I wonder when those two will finally get a game plan together and try to understand how they arrived there. I wonder if they will consider that they are possessing there bodies? I would like to think the reasons are something that none of use ever yet considered .

Don’t sweat it, we’re all pretty busy with something nowadays.
This story is interesting, consider me hooked!
Really enjoying the story. I'm laughing every chapter - your comedic timing is great!
Alright, that's probably one of the most traumatic transformations I've ever seen. Great suffering zog.
Good thing they got the anesthetizing properties right, that's all I'll say.
Well that solves the question of who's going to clean up all that viscera in the bathroom...
Sounds like Fluffle Puff.
I love Starlight’s task. Not to try and help search for Louis/Vanilla Fudge, but to make sure those cupcakes don’t get disturbed in any way, whatsoever. Also that last question lol.
Pore little Vanilla Fudge, I wonder what it will take to get him to finally come to grips with the situation, can Yellow Mellow find a way to console him him in some way and get him to calm down?
Behold as this trip becomes ever more trippy!
Nice to see them calm down a little, and have reach some level of equilibrium with some familiarity to their surroundings and strangeness, now I wonder what will be their next issue that will happen to them. could they actually start to get in touch with their cutie marks and start running out of control like Apple bloom did because of they don't know how to channel it properly sun amok through the town, or could it be some way for them to use it coping mechanisms but their distress is so bad that the magic goes haywire on them, especially Vanilla: I wonder if he could get a job at Shugarcube Corner or at Bon Bon's? I do like that this world really seems to warp itself around them to get them to better fit in it, which is somewhat new, I wonder how this could be explained.
Very nice cover art you did there, I hope one of these days we can do an art trade. I wonder how Yellow dreamed pats of being corrupted changelings sense they don't know anything about them sense they arrived in that world, could it be that they are the reasons as to why they are here, could it be that they are actually changelings pony clothes, then what happened to the original Yellow Mellow and Vanilla Fudge of that world or were they also changlelings? Is was nice to see Luna appear in their dreams and showed the horrors that lurked in their minds. I wonder if they will act a little more sane from this point onward?
Interesting choice of words, Starlight.
Ba dum- tss!
