Fall of Equestria Overview/rant my personal opinion and thoughts based on what i read · 7:02am Oct 14th, 2014
So I go to the Everfree Festival and I meet a bunch of other ponies and make a bunch of new friends. One of them ends up telling me about this story called Fall of Equestria and introduces me to one of the many writers of it. We get to talking and he tells me all about the story and the world it takes place in. I at first was hesitant because I don't like reading stories that completely destroy the beautiful world of my little pony. after some time I he convinces me to read it. these are my thoughts.
first, the fact that it is not even on fimfiction. the group itself has a page on Fimfiction but no stories in the folders. I'm sorry but if the story is not on Fimfiction I usually don't go outside the site to search for it. with this story I made an exception because I really wanted to see if it was good.
Second, the bio was the next thing and it almost made me not want to read it.
an dark alternative universe where the old Equestrian order has been replaced by invading, patriarchal caribou. Using a combination of brutality and brainwashing techniques, they have converted the Equestrian males to their own twisted sense of morality, while all but a handful of well-hidden females have been enslaved.
now that's not the full bio but its the general gist of it. A big deterrent for me was that a bunch of caribou came in and turned all the female ponies into sex slaves. the way they did it is just a bit unpractical. they take the crystal heart and use it to turn most of the stallions into sex starved idiots. the crystal heart can only be used with intentions that are pure. it can not be used for evil, which king Sombra proved since he was destroyed by it.
thirdly, is the idea that a bunch of non magical cousins of the moose took down a bunch of magically adept ponies. I know they had armor that was impervious to magic because of enchantments but the armor is still steel. arrows if shot with enough power can pierce even the strongest of steel armor. not only that but throughout the war they just marched into each city and just beat back the ponies forces without even the slightest of effort. ponies may be just a bit lax when it comes to fighting but they have shield spells and have a ton of enchanted items that can counteract their attacks pretty easily.
lastly, from what I could find, their was no actual main story. it ended up being a bunch of short stories that take place inside the FoE universe. so not only does it have no main plot, but it has no real depth to it. on a scale of one to ten, I give this group a five. if I can find a main story or somebody can show me one then I may give it an extra star. the reason why is because im not a big fan of torture slave clop or any type of story with that in it. now don't get me wrong, the writing was very professionally done with very little if any serious errors in its work but i just cant stand that in a fic. I know that some people who are a fan of it will disagree with this and you are free to do so.
thanks for reading this blog post and have a good day everypony.
