The following appendix gives additional, largely useless information, some of which will never actually appear in the story. It also organizes certain information given in the story.
If any of the information ever becomes important, it will be mentioned in the story, so there’s no obligation to read any of this. But maybe you want more to read or the information more clearly presented.
These appendixes contain marginal spoilers at best, especially if you’ve read up to the Aliens chapter before looking at any of them. The only exception is the full timelines, none of which have been released at this time.
Also: Here's the TV tropes page thanks to (I think) Walrusmrumpus.

Glad to see an appendix for in-world information. I love to read about world building, and it'll make it a lot easier for people to make side stories in the universe.
I saw this story update and thought it odd it didn't show up in my tracking folder. Until I realized I had it in my deep storage folder, now I'm drooling at the nine chapters...
If it's another cliffhanger I'm shoving my hooves somewhere the sun doesn't shine.
11094071
I should warn you that one of those may or may not be the appendix. As far as cliffhangers, you may have landed on one of the last safe chapters for a little while, actually.
11094029
I'm certainly fine if anyone wants to write one. Though I also partially wrote all of these to get it all straight in my own head too.
11094203
Yes. You cracked the code just in the nick of time.
You broke the HTML! The story only goes as far as partway through chapter 3!
11094074
Safe? You call that safe? NooOOoOoOoo! Even after spending months away from this story, my enjoyment of it grows. Perhaps with such a story, no end is not a cliffhanger.
Love how it says Rainbow gets 300 IQ plan
11094697
Perhaps, but compared to the way some of the upcoming chapters end this one is nothing.
11095282
Sunset is in the next chapter too. Plus a special guest character we haven't seen in a while.
11094492
I'm not sure what you mean. The chapters seem fine on fimfiction. When I download the HTML it seems fine too.
11095534
Yes, this is what she meant. It'll be mentioned in a little bit, but Equestria's sun is different from all the other stars as it's the only one that emits magic.
11095483
Hyperlinks are broken(meaning you have to scroll to get through to any particular chapter besides the firdt few whose hyperlinks still work), and the first time I downloaded it, it only let you read up to partway through Psychic
11098812
I've never been in a cult or anything but I do have a strange fascination with them. Like, to the point I've watched hours upon hours of Scientology TV, among other things. I know all the brainwashing stuff. Night Glider even quotes L. Ron Hubbard, among others, in Cultists 3.
-sees the cover art- Best fan art deception of Twilight Sparkle as a Witch..... EVER! X3

I've done some editing of the earlier chapters and references to the Wonderbolts have been removed. Those characters exist, but there's no group.
As for Dash's power level... at this point she's a good deal stronger than the average pony but would be crushed by anything with actual superpowers. Most of the S-rank ponies or equivalent would easily defeat her in a fair fight. Without the crows, a fight between her and Fleetfoot would maybe be like Mike Tyson in his prime versus the Flash. Dash's main advantage is she's good at avoiding fair fights and has +10 to shenanigans.
As for the sonic rainboom... I will say nothing.
11131272
Love the reference. Great song
11143860
Well if you go that route.... Trixie isn´t really gambler type person, which Joey uses a lot in his deck. In this story you her all about power so in my opinion her deck should also be reflecting that. That is why I saw her as Kaiba. His deck is always about overpowering, weakenig and dominating others.
Jack Atlas would also be a perfect fit in that regard.
oh good gosh, okay, when I reached this as the last current chapter I almost had a panic thinking the story was ending right there
11144335
Don't worry. We still got a bajillion more episodes to go. Or at least it feels that way.
11146276
Well.. if you use feeble Earth chemistry term it's the least to be expected ^^;;;
11146323
Adamantium Oxide is created via a reaction between platinum oxide and mana particles. You can't oxidize pure adamantium.
11146570
Well that's like one hypothesis that came to me after posting that...
A radioactive element that decades into this stable form while being a compound. And then you reduce it. It may work. Even though you have the issue of getting the oxygen out from the INSIDE if the outside reduce first... And... I think it would come out "spongy" as practically two third of the volume are gone... Oh well magic...
Whew... recently read literally everything. So much horse words, its fantastic.
I'm still not sure why the human contact thing was written. I know the fanfiction is designed to be pretty silly, but that human event felt rather out of place, even if lyra is picked up again in the fiction sometime later.
So what are the chances that the lucky coin was based off Coinspinner?
11153162
I've never heard of that before, so... pretty low.
11153188
Shame because it's uncanny just how similar the items are.
11156333
I am familiar with TV Tropes.
11157132
Just that 'I can do anything I want, no matter how insane, petty or mind bending... and there is nothing you can do to stop me!' energy.
11159426
They'd probably have about until the fall of next year before they all start coming out of the ground again. A blood moon would also bring back a good chunk of them all at once.
11159695
The mostly just got the one Attack on Titan style city.
11160518
You read faster than I do.
But it wasn't a conscious reference.
11160775
You got the giant enemy crab at least
Saccharine! Attack its weak point for massive damage!
11160403
Well, Arachando works for Screwball. She's the one who sent them. As for what she's really up to... that's next chapter stuff.
Just got to chapter "Aliens" (amazing story btw), I can't help but feel that Scootaloo is a pop culture reference to something that I'm just not getting.
11160893
The main inspiration was that kid from the Twilight Zone.
11164234
The swords in Attack on Titan look like box cutter.

As for Zombies: Every single pony on the planet is under the effects of the curse of undeath. Your body only becomes a zombie if you hear the full details of it before you die. At this point of the story, Twilight has claimed that dying gives Discord a chance to tell you this information.
Not everyone's body rises as a zombie, however. Ghosts never hear the full details so their bodies don't rise, for example, and the same is true for certain other types of undead. Also, necromancers are able to turn zombies into other types of undead.
I have no plans for any other species besides griffons, diamond dogs and zebras to even be mentioned as existing (and none of them show up very much). I already have enough things to juggle without there being 10 billion additional species, so just assume none of those exist unless I change my mind.
As for changelings.... well you can put a pin in that one, though.
11171470
I'm not sure if that one's a mistake, exactly. At least, I try to use 'pony' for ponies specifically and 'person' or 'people' for intelligent beings in general.
11176029
Fair enough, although I'm not sure how to imagine Dash leaning like that. Loving the story and excellent world building, the only real gripe would be the constant slips grammar wise in regards to people etc. rather than ponies but that's understandable. Keep up the great work but don't burn yourself out!
I need more of this in my life!
11177621 Why yes, I need a number of minions. BUT FIRST! You must pass the test!
(You find yourself out in a rocky valley spanned by a creaky old rope bridge.)
If you would work for me, you first must answer these questions 3!
I'm drooling, three new chapters
10912647
I expect you to still have that, moldy, old, and probably smelly coffee now. And I expect you to enjoy it.
11194390
It's been years since they did the costume contest. The last robot battle was the previosu year.
Is this secretly a TwiDash fic in disguise?
Whhhyy, delata you evil evil author whhhhyy
Three months wasn’t enough. I should’ve waited longer.
11195129
If it makes you feel any better, the next chapter's ending is potentially worse in regaurds to cliffhangers.
11195792
This is pure evil, you monster. Have a nice day.
Still think the previous story image was more fitting.
11196260
You gotta go with what gets the clicks, dawg. At least until I get to 1000 upvotes.
That said, Abode_wtf did start working on another cover for this a while ago. Not if he's still working on it, but the version he showed me looked pretty cool. I'll probably change it to that if/when it gets finished. Here's the WIP version:
cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/510669069679198209/942639857119952956/MislP5H.png
(I still like it even like this)
11196273
One thing that could excuse it is that Brilliant Gear would have known about Saccharine's defenses for a while. He would have been in a good position to create something to specificaly pierce her armor with Screwball's help.
11196405
Well it got what looks like Dash, arguably the central character, so it's a step up.
Eyy all caught up, really love this, like a lot. Love the sort of classic horror theme with loads of classic monster n such running around. Only weird thing is when I started, for some reason I thought this had the romance tag somewhere. I guess I saw the twidash group and just assumed? So I kept seeing romantic undertones between the two and honestly made it even better. Sooo looking forward to more!
11198596
That's good. Cause at the rate things are going there might still be 300K words left.
11207281
Oh right one of the sisters were mentioned. Neat.
