I log on today and find seven notifications concerning faves, comments and the like. Not that I'm complaining or anything, hell I think it's awesome that people are still liking my stuff but I got to wondering where these new views were coming from. Typically they're coming from google but a whopping 14% of the referrals came from some Russian 4chan type site called "2ch.hk". Specifically this link: http://2ch.hk/mlp/res/1557995.html.
Now I don't read Russian, not that I never wanted to learn but honestly I just never found the time to do so. And here's a bunch of stories and the like being advertised and getting views. It's pretty cool IMO but I'm now curious as to what was said about them. I tried to put it through a google translate but there's a reason why word for word translations never work, the meaning is always lost in the process.
And while I can live happily without actually knowing what they said, I will forever be curious unless some kind soul out there would be able to tell me what "Открываешь дверь в сортир, а там лошадка. Лошадке повезло, Эквестрии из-за ее безответственности и склонности думать пиздуй - не очень" actually means.
Dat russian...
I'm not a native speaker, but i'm from one of the former USSR countries, so there were a lot of "leftover" russians that got shipped here during the occupation in the attempts to russify everyone, so i learned from them and can speak and read it... more or less.
Basically, it's a short description of the Doorway story. Slightly crude description, as is the russian way.
"You open the door to the bathroom, and there's a mare. The mare got lucky; Equestria, due to her complete irresponsibility and tendency not to think shit through, didn't."
The last words actually are not very/not really. Basically, Twilight got lucky with how the spell turned out, and the rest of Equestria didn't. Not quite sure why, but that's the meaning, pretty much.

Awesome! Thanks for the translation although I'm confused about it being the bathroom instead of the bedroom. I guess I could play it like one of those "in Soviet Russia..." jokes.
But yeah, thanks a lot for that. You deserve a moustache.

You're welcome. Though i noticed you made this post 3 months ago only afterwards.
Regarding the bathroom, Isn't that how the story started? Rick was going to take a shower in the morning, was walking to the bathroom, and ended up in Twilight's library?

Well better eventually than never.
In a way. He woke up, had his coffee and opened the door from his bedroom as he headed to the bathroom to take a shower. But after opening the door and in the process of shedding his clothes he notices that he's in the Golden Oaks library and both Twilight and Spike are staring at him for good reason I might add.
So he never actually reached the bathroom until he enterred his apartment from the side door.
