RIP DarkWing's Writing. We Hardly Knew Ye.

This was just a random story that I decided to write, the idea of which popped into my head while I was smoking and wrote the entirely of it while high.
Sometimes it's good just to write shit down as a joke, y'know?

._. Um... wh-
WHAT IN THE NAME OF HARMONY AND DISHARMONY DID THINE JUST WITNESS?!

1546290 I am a Jack of Chessboards and I approve of this statement that approves of that statement that approves of this story.

Just the title alone is enough to make me like this story. But when it comes to the story itself, you deserve a favorite from the Inspectah.

Jesus tittyfucking Christ. I don't know what else to say. That was beautiful on so many levels:fluttercry:, I applaud you Darkwing. You magnificent bastard.:moustache:

Repeated use of it's (contraction of it is) for its (possessive of it).

Aside from that minor nit-pick, this was absurdly entertaining. I give it 4 out of 5 crazy ponies: :derpytongue2::pinkiecrazy::flutterrage::rainbowwild:

Go Cthulu, he really needs more recognition. Actually, having Cthulu in an episode would actually be pretty cool, you know?

Is this?

...I think it is.

Is it?

Yes. It is.

This is the Greatest Thing. I can't believe I've finally found it. Bless you, kind sir.

Tea.
With C'Thulhu.

I just read a story about Celestia having tea with C'Thulhu in a magical pony land.

I'd like to say this, with as much poise, and dignity that I can muster.

"OH MY GOD THAT WAS THE GREATEST THING I EVER READ IN MY LIFE!"

One of the greatest and most hilarious stories ever! XD
I LOVE IT!

"I even opened up a sea daycare!"

"But didn't you eat all the merchildren that were dropped by?" Celestia asked.

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

But yes. I was giddy with excitement while reading this at how well Darkwing Portrayed Cthulhu

Plus this song kept playing in my head while reading.

:yay:

WORDS. ALONE. CANNOT. CONTAIN. EPICNESS. BEST LAUGHTER IN A YEAR AWARD GOES TO THE "CTHULHU IS A PRETTY COOL GUY" STORY.:yay::yay::yay:

Hey, Curved Swords. I remember him from Name's Ellis.
Oh, and that one 'Skyrim' game, but no one's ever heard of that...

Yeah, wanted to include something for the last three Elder Scrolls games.
Curved Swords from Skyrim.
"I saw a mudcrab the other day" from Oblivion.
The mudcrab merchant from Morrowind.
And Bound Shield from all of them. :rainbowkiss:

This is a great little story, but counts as a real gem because it's perfectly believable in the show's context. The image of Celestia entertaining eldritch horrors to keep Equestria at peace fits in right next to her banishing her own sister so the sun can rise. This is a quick little sketch that pulls from HPL's stories, dumps them into the MLP universe, and giftwraps it all with the hopeful air of harmony. Plus, the Mudcrab vendor is a Morrowind reference unless I'm way off the mark. The story melts right on the tongue, and doesn't wear out its welcome by trying to be more than it can manage. That's why I like it at least!

Some of our best ideas come when the brain is relaxed and just letting go of a day's troubles. See also, taking a warm shower after a long day of desk-stress. I totally appreciate that this is a stress-relief fic, but just wanted to point out two little rough spots I noticed.

"Celestia sighed and got out of her table and walked next to him." Entirely possible that The Author is merely using alien geometries here. This is Great Cthulhu after all, and Celestia apparently is familiar with the Necronomicon, so getting out of a table is all well and good. One might consider replacing it with "Celestia sighed, got up from her seat, and stepped next to him." so that mortals' brains do not jelly, though.

Also, the beginning feels a bit stuttery. This may just be me, but "It" gets reused a lot in the first paragraph. Using it only once, at the start of each sentence, might just work beautifully, but the pronoun is also used to describe the table. This is a bit offputting to the brain, but again it might just be me. A solution of a different stripe might go something like this:
"The Horror in Finery"

"The most merciful thing in the world, the two guards could not know, was the inability of their pony minds to correlate the import of their orders. It was midday when Celestia said a table must be set in a private room, and that the preparations must be perfect. It was every three minutes that Celestia came into the room to make sure all was as she hoped. It was every three minutes that Celestia told them all was wrong, then abruptly left and paced outside for three more while the two inside scrambled without understanding to prepare for one who would come to visit their placid island of ignorance."

Again, awesome story! I wrote this comment not to bring the author down, but to congratulate and kindly critique two points that could be made 20% cooler. The best part about these comments is that the author's under no obligation to bother with any of our mad ramblings, particularly mine. Big kudos to DarkWing!

1543092>>1546290 I am. Werebrony and I approve said statements and love how high you were... you actually are a great writer when you are high darkwing

Haha, thanks for the input. As said from my first comment, this was written entirely while high then submitted as soon as it was finished. I'll probably edit it soon to make it smoother and not as bad as it is.

he may be called Cthulhu but his personality reminds me of zoidberg as does the scream also this will get featured

All of the wtf's in the world could not begin to describe how amazing yet weird this is.
Wonder how Derpy would react to Cthulhu?

*sees title*:trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright: hmm this seems interesting.....

*sees author*:rainbowderp: Ok, now i have to know what this is about....:pinkiecrazy:

*sees clock*:twilightangry2: fuck I gotta sleep...

*clicks read later* soon...:trollestia::yay::moustache::eeyup:

"Why?" Curved Swords asked.

"Sorry about him." Bound Shield asked, stuffing his hoof in the other guard's mouth. "He's relatively new and doesn't know when to keep his mouth shut."

"That's alright, curiosity only hurts cats." Celestia smirked, then motioned her head to the door, politely willing them to leave.

BOUND SHIELD ASKED.

WHAT.

This is making it to the feature box for two reasons:
1. It is a well written, awesome story
2. People love random ass stories

:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:
5 laughing Dashes out of 5, Bravo.

EDIT:
Incomplete? Does this mean more? :pinkiehappy:
