There will be board games. And hopefully cuddles. Aw, it can't be over already · 12:11am Jan 1st, 2014
Today we bid a tearful farewell to Relaxing Dragon's "The Many Deaths of Rainbow Dash", in which an obnoxious enchanted book places Rainbow Dash under a curse that makes her a magnet for gory deaths and gives her infinite respawns and an inability to feel pain. The first few chapters are Rainbow Dash's hilarious antics messing around with it and becoming very casual about dying a lot, then the book gives bothersome curses to Twilight, Applejack, and Pinkie Pie, too, before running after to Canterlot to try to take over the world with some magic stuff or other that's under the castle. The four ponies chase after it and have an incredibly in-character, absurd, knee-slapping adventure with lessons in friendship and teamwork. Amazing, how in-tune with the show this fic feels when Rainbow's getting dismembered every few minutes. You should read it.
Rest in Peace....
Had a good run...
So she's Deadpool?
I don't care. I can't read it. The thought of bloody and gory rainbow Deadpool still makes my stomach churn.
Sigh... I'll glance through it.
And... I'm not sure you can write gore in character completely.

Nah, Kilted, I don't know if I'd recommend the story to you, doesn't seem like your kind of thing. We've said this before; I'm a kid that can emotionally detach myself from stuff that I read when it has a level of obscenity and shock that comes off to you as an unjustified perversion of pony. Yeah, treating gore so casually might not sit so well with you.

Dragon Age did it stupidly well. That kind of gore/sarcasm is amazing. But yeah, I've read enough shock horror stories of violence to picture the lolz of Rainbow looking at her own intestines just... blah.
Dragon Age nails it out of the park though. That sly sarcasm at people attempting to kill you. Devil May Cry works too.
