Trollestia is obviously the most popular anti-celestia meme in the fandom with tyrant celestia being a close second. so my opinion....long story short I hate it. I find it to be the most boring, obnoxious, overused meme in the fandom. now if you like it then fine that is your business and i respect you for it. my problem is that it's everywhere, i mean say what you will about molestia but at least she's barely used. It is difficult to find a fan fic that doesn't use trollestia. that doesn't mean I hate every fanfic that uses her, I just really find the meme tiring. sorry to waste your time. if anyone even reads this.
I tend to agree. Most of the Mollestia fics are just riffing on the them. "What would an asshole do given ultimate power"? And I agree, they're incredibly boring! I wrote Mankind Triumphant: Relic because it was exactly the opposite – a world were Celestia was vulnerable and had everything taken from her. The scenario provided a way to really get inside her psychology and examine her motivations: both her desires and her fears. Check it out if you have the time to read a novel length fic. BTW - if you do, please let me know what you think of it and my take on "the mare beneath the crown".
2211659 first thanks for commenting, I was starting to think no one would. second I will probably read Mankind Triumphant: Relic but it won't be for a while, I have a lot of conversion bureau fics to read, mostly by chatoyance. but if and/or when I promise to give my thoughts on it. and last but not least i'm glad that i was able to make a blog post that made coherent sense, i prefer to speak rather then write.
Please read Chatoyance's "TCB: Brand New Universes" first, as Relic is based on chapter 7 of that collection: "Mankind Triumphant". I look forward to your comments!
2211804 will do! and thanks for your input, i always like to hear other people's opinions
