Twilight Sparkle is now an alicorn, and the bitterness of immortality has made an impact on her mind. Perhaps all it takes is a nudge from a mismatched friend to make her realize what she must treasure...

Oh my god I just heard someone complaining about an influx of crappy alicorn twilight fics and immortality

2133215 I think i know who you're talking about. Crazy one ain't he?

It's funny because Distrance was just complaining about these "immortal Twilight" fics.

2133215 I've seen crappy, and while not great, I've seen much worse.


Good job.

Damn straight, Twilight.

”Point is, some ponies die as heroes and recieve grand funerals held to honor their lives and accomplishments, when some... When some live long enough to see themselves become the villain...”

I SEE WHAT YOU DID THERE:ajsmug:

Holy... Wow. I just clicked on this because it seemed like an interesting premise.

Liked, faved, and a watch for you good sir!

(Although it COULD use some work, it was done very nicely for something so short.)

I won't complain about this one though. This is good. I like it.

Also, I'm liking good!Discord more and more.

Very nicely written. Well done. :twilightsmile:

This is good, surprisingly.

This is pretty good :twilightsmile: it would be nice if it was a bit longer though

This should be fucking cannon. If only "death" was aloud...

My Little pony: friendship is magic, despite what we all feel and the quality of the show it self, is essentially a 24 minute toy commercial with a plot. so it would not be unlikely that the other mane sixers will change eventually to, even if they don't i could see twilight using age spells to keep her friends and there families alive, amusing that is what they would want. and if we assume that ponyville was founded hundreds of years ago, as was said in winter wrap up, than Granny Smith is at least 200 years old,as her family founded ponyville when she was a teenager( or the equivalent). she is clearly still kicking, and when you consider that Granny's own great aunt Applesauce is also still alive. that all leads to ponies being pretty long lived, even without magic

Was... there a Dark Knight reference in there? Anyway, I like how this went. It took the concept of what this whole Twilacorn situation will bring (or could; technically, it isn't exactly verified if alicorn=immortality), and it brought a sort of better light to it. It doesn't have a "Sad" tag, and for a reason. She isn't going to mope about it, nor will we see when the days come where her friends leave one by one, but she smiles and is going to take and keep the moments she has with her friends until the end. It's simple, and it's an idea going to be done to death. But I liked it, so good job.

*claps* Simple yet the only appropiate way to express my happiness in this story. :twilightsmile:

This alcorn twilight thing is going to stick around for ahille so it is good to come across some simple slice of life stories. This was a good story.:pinkiesad2:

Wait, how did this turn out so good... :raritystarry:
I applaud

I slapped this together in just about an hour, and I didn't actually expect that people would like it this much...

Slapped this in an hour? Just imagine what you can write in weeks... :twilightsmile:

The opening is confusing:

She looked around to see that nopony was in the room with her. She was in her old room at the castle, and it was just as she remembered it. When she was certain that nopony could see her, she extended her left wing and sniffed it.

This sounds like the start of a dream sequence. It sounds like Twilight wasn’t sure where she was before, and only now she realizes she’s in her old room. The problem is that the sentence with the location is in an unnatural place, inserted in the middle of the act of looking around. It would be more natural to introduce the location like this:

After the coronation, Rainbow Dash had given her a basic lesson on how to fly, and with Twilight being a quick learner, she had figured it out almost immediately. She sped off to practice on her own, until she saw a familiar tower. Twilight swooped into her old room at the castle, which was just as she remembered it. She looked around to see that nopony was in the room with her. When she was certain that she was alone, she extended her left wing and sniffed it.

I was also confused for a while about how Twilight wasn’t alarmed at seeing Discord out of his statue, until I realized that I had forgotten the episode with Discord’s reform. I guess I have read too much fanfiction in which Discord is still evil.

To be honest, I wrote this in the middle of the night with no actual idea of what I was doing. I never expected it to get the response it got in the first place.

I appreciate your critique, I really do but honestly I won't start changing up the story that I spent half an hour writing... :twilightsheepish:

Looking back, this fic has some really interesting things in common with canon. You know, along with its contradictions with canon.:rainbowderp:

You know what I'm talking about, right Symphony?:unsuresweetie:

Actually yeah, I think I see what you're getting at. Discord is still Discord (du-hu-hurrrrr) but toned down.

Similarities I see between this Discord and the Discord in the now established S4 canon is that yes, Discord can be a dick but he does it for a reason. Like when he sent Twilight back into the forest, he did it in 'his' way but he had good intentions.

Now I'm rambling djlslfkskglfldhfbrj

Naw, I've noticed that this site doesn't look down on rambling as much as its mainstream peers (twiiter, tumblr, etc). This is a fanfiction site, so we're expected to read walls of text anyway.:ajsmug:

Kinda wish the show would take on that but oh well. Nice read here.

3569652 when you live long enough to see yourself become the villain now that would not be a Batman reference now would it
