Sunshine-Smiles is a good man/woman/it.

I'll enjoy this whole heartedly, unless it sucks, in which case I'll send an angry letter to your shared receptionist who is secretly cheating on you to escape her Stepford life.

“Sleeping on the job, dearie? For shame,” it’s voice hissed between boney mandibles.

:rainbowkiss:

This is kinda weird.

:facehoof: what do you mean 'kinda' ?

Well, if the cover really does go that deep, the obvious solution is to work together with the other Twilight, to foil Chrysalis's scheme.

What a fresh and unique idea!

Sarcasm, how original.:ajbemused:
I do like the implication that anything I've ever posted here could be referred to as "fresh and unique," though.

Anyway, it is mostly done. Three more chapters will be released Saturday-Monday.

It is quite a dilemma for them
:facehoof: I should probably apologize for all these puns, but I will not.

Wow... The description for this story reads like an advertisement for "Unknown"... There better be a ponyfied version of Liam Neeson somewhere in this story...

Uh... immediately looking for the penis is not exactly something that'll help prove you're not a changeling, deary...

The thing is, the Prisoner's Dilemma breaks down when the participants are copies of each other.; Each Twilight will independently use the same reasoning as the other, and arrive at the same conclusion; this removes cooperate/defect and defect/cooperate from the payout matrix, leaving only C/C and D/D. And in that situation, cooperating is obviously the superior choice.

There are several methods they could try.

Have them compare magic ability. The Twilight who went to the Chrystal Empire knows dark magic- Chrysalis would have needed to switch out the real Twilight before they went in order to know that, since only Spike saw her do it. For that matter: Only the Twilight then knows what Spike saw in his Door of Gloom vision. And if all else fails: Twilight showed in "A Canterlot Wedding" that she can blast a changeling out of its disguise. Assuming that this isn't a particularly powerful changeling, of course.

Say, why are her friends even uncertain? Doesn't that imply that they believe (or are ready to believe) that princess Celestia let the wrong Twilight ascend to alicornhood?

She's the Georgia O'Keefe of the penis.

As far as her magic, the headaches and her inability to teleport are supposed to show that she's not running at full capacity, either because she is a changeling or she's been drugged.
The new chapter provides a reason why her friends might be uncertain. Or maybe everyone is just fucking with her.

“We introduce a little chaos into the system. "

Do I really look like a changeling with a plan? You know what I am? I'm a mare chasing light dot. I wouldn't know what to do with one if I caught it. You know, I just... do things. Ponies has plans, the Princesses have plans, Chrysalis got plans. You know, they're schemers. Schemers trying to control their little worlds. I'm not a schemer. I try to show the schemers how pathetic their attempts to control things really are. So, when I say...
When I say that messing with your life was nothing personal, you know that I'm telling the truth. It's the schemers that put you where you are. You were a schemer, you had plans, and look where that got you. So we'll do what I do best. We'll take their little plan and turn it on itself. Look what I do to Ponyville with a few cupcakes and a couple of Party Cannon shots. Hmmm?
You know... You know what I've noticed? Nopony panics when things go "according to plan." Even if the plan is horrifying! If, tomorrow, Princess tell you that, like, Nightmare Moon is back, or crazy chaos god runs amok, nobody panics, because it's all "part of the plan." But when your little stable life threatened, well then you just LOSE YOUR MIND! Introduce a little anarchy. Upset the established order, and everything becomes chaos. I'm an agent of chaos.

Oh, and you know the thing about chaos? It's fair!

People seem to have mistaken this as a trollfic... I think.

I have no idea what to believe at this point. I get the feeling the authors' are playing with us.

2420299 All shall make sense in the end, I guess. Or maybe it won't and that's even better.
If there is one thing I don't get, it's where are all the down votes coming from. Haven't seen anything worth all that hate in the story.
Maybe people are just jerks?:trixieshiftright:
Nah, it can't be.

WTF did I just read? Were drugs involved when writing this chapter? And if so where can I get some?

2425565
I can't speak for Sunshine-Smiles, but I drink a lot.
Also, Weebles are a prominent artistic influence on me.

First paragraph and straight to WTF-land! Christ!

And so with the death of Alicorn Twilight, Paper-Mache Alicorn Twilight has evolved into Twilight Sparkle.

I think?

So can we expect a The End of Twilight Derealized?

It would just be a picture of your empty computer chair after you've left the room upon realizing that, once again, we're not going to explain shit.

Then this destroys the world:

But don't worry! Their will be a reboot movie series which will probably maybe explain everything in a satisfactory manner, we're planning to start work on it sometime in 2513.

2435979
There are worse ways to I reckon. And that would put you ahead of Gainax.

Keep on mucking about, lads/lasses/other.

I don't know why it took me 6 days to finally read this. So was the entire thing just an insane hallucination or is there some kind of interdimensional tom-fuckery going on?

2462915
There is no answer, that's the double meaning of the title. Twilight experiences the opposite of a realization. She doesn't need an answer, and she couldn't get one anyway. Everyone who claims to know what is going on is either wrong or lying, and there's no going back to the truth anyway.
You can't explain existence, it just happens.

To a certain point, the conclusion that this was a trollfic is correct, but not in the way that most people seem to have assumed. I think 2437739 got it best.

Really? :ajbemused:

Yes, really. The point is there ain't no point.

Nothing is original, nothing has purpose, nothing truly lives. We are and then we aren't. In the interim, information is exchanged, but most of it is wrong anyway. Give up and go forward, it is the closest thing to an answer that there ever has been.
But, I know I'm gonna be okay, because they're playing my song and I'm moving my hips like "Yeah."

2463007
Brilliant, and strangely beautiful and eloquent with that song...

What a fantastical twist.

Evangelion? Huh.

"How dare you speak about our Queen's plot that way!"
"Just saying, I've seen better in my time."

Goddammit, Fiddles.

NGE ending, of course, it was all so obvious!

Something happened! Unless it didn't.

Either way, I got to experience it.

And I'm continuing my policy of not chugging isopropyl alcohol.

I am so confused. Yet I am entertained.

You did bucky burnes old trick you old fox

So what happened is twilight the changeling, is she turned good?
