Riffverse: Episode 05

Shit gets real. For the first time, Matt and Dash take on a fic that is genuinely, totally irredeemable.

There’s a lot of ways an author can screw up a story. Sometimes it’s horribly written. Those are just hard to read, painful to riff, and not much fun for anyone. Sometimes, the author doesn’t understand his characters, or fails to flesh them out beyond a World of Cardboard. Sometimes the author has a moral that he wields like a mallet, or unintentionally ends up with a moral that’s just awkward—or even horrific. Sometimes the author takes canon characters so far off the rails that they feel like completely different characters. Sometimes the author manages to offer up a work that almost requires a logical reader to be offended by it. And sometimes, it’s all of it at once.

There are horrific stories, stories that make you sick, or mentally scarred, but this one is different. This is absolutely the most offensive story I’ve ever riffed to date, and it may be one of the worst I ever will.

Enjoy Episode 05: A Fear of a Pegasus Named Fluttershy. I dare you.
