Wat.

Tragedy/Comedy? Written by Mystic? And with that description? Dis gon be gud!

Oh lordy.

Yup, that made so much sense.

I am still thoroughly confused as to what I just read, but was glad you answered the question about the conveniently available library that Twilight was able to move into immediately upon arrival to Ponyville.

This...is terrible...

Frostwyrm

I like the concept and your execution is great, my only problem is how you portray Celestia but that's personal preference.

Will we ever see how that conversation plays out?

Book Worm could tell that he was probably about as sharp as a tennis ball and fast as the Archback Glacier. This, when considering the glacier had melted last summer thanks to global warming, was not particularly quickly

Gruntilda the Wicked, eh?  A certain bear and bird best stay away!

Yep, this is how Celestia rules, who needs benevolence?  Psh, not her

Anyway, as short as this comedic tragedy is, you surprisingly covered all your bases.  From once positive to a depressing pessimist, you even crammed an epiphany in, fitting with the rather nice prose.

What a way to spend your anniversary (Happy to hear you've hit the one year mark, by the way, I haven't commented on that yet.  You seem to have started watching around the same time I did, as well, which is just slightly odd).

There was this one phrase that actually caused me to stop and laugh to myself:

She contemplated going and begging the mayor to give her something to eat, but she was pretty certain the mayor would sell her into slavery if she tried. That pony’s obsession with making money was terrifying at times.

A friend and I actually discussed this about her one day, I find it hilarious that others picked up on it as well.

Closing thoughts:  Wow, Book Worms life sucks  (Good job )

I'm depressed now, but I think that might mean I'm missing the point.

>>12826981282698 Yup!

>>12827051282705 Lord help me, hahaha.

>>12827261282726 I know, right?!

>>12827611282761 Terrible is easily the best word to describe this, hahaha. But don't worry, I was confused too!

>>12827841282784 I apologise for Celestia in this. I have nothing to say for myself other than I'm sorry, haha. And yeah, thanks for catching that!

>>12827871282787 Someone gets one of the references!

>>12828421282842 Haha, it's a tragedy of Shakespearean proportions! And it's all her fault! >

I am a terrible human being, hahahaha.

>>12829211282921 No, no! It's tagged tragedy for a reason! It's a tragical tragedy of tragicness! You are completely justified in feeling depressed, haha. After what I did to poor Book Worm, I am not surprised!

Wow, that Celestia was... mean. Poor Book Worm. Can't blame her for leading a gnome rebellion.

>>12830291283029 I may or may not be writing a second chapter about the gnome rebellion...

An alternative lesson to draw:

Have a better support network than - hem - curling up in the fetal position and stroking your mane while repeatedly whispering 'who's a pretty pony?' to oneself.

Because doing so really doesn't address the underlying problems. At all. And gnomes really don't fill the voids, either, particularly when they are minions.

>>12830711283071 Hahaha, as a plan A, it really could be a whole lot better, huh?

Still, I gotta hand it to Book Worm, it definitely does make you feel better!

I giggled. Hardcore. Gloriously done.

I guess it's supposed to be a complete mindfuck... strange part is, I genuinely liked it

It's just so damn depressing, but still written in a hilarious way. Question my taste and integrity when it comes to what fanfics I like all you want, I'm still faving it

My God, this fic was almost uncomfortably mean-spirited! Probably the reason why it's good, laughing at other ponies' expense is not hard to watch. I laughed hard! It's just so unfair... so completely unfair, but we all it!

P.S-- I love how you try to reply to every single comment on a story written by you. It really shows you care what other people think and are listening. Most authors don't do this and I for one appreciate it. Tells me you're a good person... but I already knew that!

>>12839411283941 Hehe, I'm glad to hear it. Thank you for reading!

>>12839741283974 I don't think I can rightly judge you since I am the terrible person who wrote it, hahaha. But I think that means it worked!

>>12842211284221 Poor Book Worm! Can life get any worse for her?! (WelI... I have just doomed her now, haha.)

I love replying to people's comments! I still get a little confused as to why anybody wants to comment on my stories at all, haha, and it makes me very happy to see people reading and hopefully enjoying my stuff. Also, as someone who reads a lot, I know it's pretty awesome when authors reply to your comments, so I try my best to share that feeling around!

>>12827871282787>>12830161283016>>12830371283037

After the hemorrhaging pile of suck that was Nuts and Bolts, I would be not at all surprised to hear that those two were doing Mercenary work for the Solar Princess. Rare surely isn't going to be paying the bills any time soon...

>>12848041284804 Hahahaha, oh man. It's funny coz it's true.

I don't read many fanfics, but when I do...

Well, they're almost never by Mystic. But this was absolutely hilarious.

Ossim Possim story broski. You write comedy just as well as you write everything else.

-JJ2

Uhhhhhh....

what?

>>12853001285300 Haha, thank you! I'm glad you liked it!

>>12853831285383 I'm glad you enjoyed it!

>>12854961285496 I have no idea, haha.

"She was also a pony of terrible fortune. Perhaps the universe had been trying to show her something when, as a foal, lightning struck dead both her parents"

This.. Well. It is hard to explain, maybe you write it "by accident" or maybe because of something else, but I have to tell you that.. Well it is not easy to say and it may look kind of wierd, but, since my mom died like 5 years ago, I feel that I have some kind of strange luck in every (and I do mean every) unfortunate situations. I do not believe in god or something, but I can tell that this is very strange, every time I get into shit, it all at the end is good, always. It just struck my head when I was reading it, I hope it does not sound confusing.

As for the story. Well that end was rather unexpected, I really expected something like those two will became friends and Twilight will help her and stuff but instead she just went full rage

Happy Broniversary mate Stay awesome

By the way I changed my avatar. I know you love Tia, but Luna is #1 for me

>>12932221293222 I'm really sorry to hear about your mum! Hopefully good does come from every bad situation.

As for the ending, I felt the outbreak of a gnome rebellion was a far more realistic choice, hahaha. XD

Also, you changed your avatar! It's not super-happy Rarity! D: I was convinced it was an imposter for a while there, haha. :P Still, pretty Luna is pretty.

>>12945431294543

Yeah I mean why not. Gnomes deserves they rights too you know :D

Yeah Rares had to go in the moment I saw this Luna in devianart. Now, when I am looking at your avatar and mine, it is quite coincidence, do you see that?

>>12962961296296 Pretty pony princesses in pretty dresses!

>>12963041296304

Ecactly :D Although, your Tia looks quite sad?

>>12964541296454 Luna's probably done something, haha. Silly pony is always getting up to trouble!

>>12965141296514

Luna? How dare you! It was Discord, no doubt!

>>12966961296696 Pfft, everyone's always blaming Discord!

>>12967101296710

Well Luna did nothing bad, just look at her! This little innocent Woona is not the one to blame!

Image: http://fc06.deviantart.net/fs71/i/2012/222/f/6/woona_wants_snuggles_by_zedrin-d5aj6k8.png

Btw I think we should stop spaming comment section of your fic :D

>>12967341296734 Oh lord. That is too freaking cute. Too, too freaking cute!

Ha! My story comment section will suffer whatever I say it will! For I am lord and master over this thread, and all shall tremble before my voice!

>>12967501296750

And I am just a loyal subject after all...

Here, one more Woona for you :D

Image: http://th07.deviantart.net/fs71/PRE/i/2012/048/5/d/fluffy_woona_by_bronyboy-d4q2y1u.png

>>12967891296789 //Drops dead from cute.

Fluffy pones are best pones.

>>12968091296809

I feel the urge to hug her

I opened this story expecting many laughs, thanks to the happy little Comedy Tag and the funny description...

I finished it with the tiniest, maniest tear in my eye.

You amazing man, you.

>>12997511299751 It's a real tearjerker, I know! Haha Thanks for reading, and I'm thrilled to hear you enjoyed it!

okay i didn't make it to the end, sorry thumb down

>>13318631331863 SPart! Didn't you read the author's notes?! All criticism needed to be directed at dacaz5!

(Awkward because they are at the end, hahahahaha.)

But seriously, comedy can be really hit and miss, so I'm sorry to hear this one didn't quite do it for you!

>>13352441335244

maybe because its so freaking far away from the canon/ my head canon ...

i recommand an "alternative universe tag"

>>13363221336322 Haha, well, this definitely isn't meant to be taken seriously. It's not even my own headcanon, haha. Just a silly little idea that I had to write for the lulz.

>>13363261336326

hmm maybe some kind of british humor i can't ge behind ? anyway, for me, it was no fun to read about someone that only have to suffer for no real (good) reason

>>13363611336361 British humour? Nah, this is black humour, hahaha. Where terrible things happen and you laugh at them.

If you are a good person, then you probably won't find this funny! :P

>>13364141336414 maybe it's not the right kind of black humor, or black humor in general isn't something, i think, fits well with MLP ...

>>13364431336443 Haha, well I do love me some good juxtaposition! After all, most of my other stories involve mentions of violence and war in a show meant for little girls!

I have no idea what's wrong with me!

>>13364461336446 you know what stalin said ? the death of one man is a  tragedy, the death of millions just a statistic.

i don't know at what point a tragedy could become a comedy

oh or to quote a stupid strategy "if there is life, there is hope" ... this doesn't apply for this story huh ?

>>13365261336526 It's okay, though, because nopony died in the making of this story!

But yes, I am a terrible human being, it's true.

THIS IS GAY MYSTIC. YOUR GAY! GO FAGGART A THOUSAND SUNS!

Nah, I think I liked this one a little too much. X)

>>13434161343416 YOU'RE FACE IS GAY! D:

Nah, that makes you and me both, haha. I had way too much fun writing this!

Mystic, you make me angry.

That is all.

-Scott

P.S. My princesses don't have capitals, but your Miss Sparkle should :P

>>14284591428459 Hehehe. Good! Let the anger flow through you! Anger will make you strong...

(Thanks for the catch! Haha)

And to think it was this close to having a happy end... that's the real evilness, Mystic.

You know what? I'm going to pretend that she didn't become Griselda after all! Hah, come and stop my headfanon, I dare you! I'd like to see you try!

>>17386201738620

And then, with an almighty roar, Gruntilda's gnome army swept down the hill and into Ponyville as a wave of knocked over carts and somewhat surprised ponies. They tried to set everything to the torch, and the evil mare laughed manically, bathed in the demonic light cast by a smouldering pot plant hanging from the tree that had once been her home (Twilight peered out the window at the scene, altogether very, very confused). Gruntilda just wouldn't stop laughing. If she couldn't have the library, nopony could!

^ That's canon, that is! None can deny it!

I laughed, and then felt bad for laughing, and then learnt a valuable and incredibly practical life lesson.

>>20129652012965 I love it when people walk away from this story after having learned a life lesson. Makes me feel all warm inside!
