"Death Metal" - "The Iron Horse" Fan-Shipping (Featuring 002!) · 3:05am Feb 9th, 2017

Hey folks! Thought maybe you could all use some levity/weirdness amid all the tragic backstory stuff. Luckily, longtime reader and stream-follower Obsi (aka Shetland) wrote a strange little ship-fic between everyone's favorite robotic psychopath pony, Turing's elder sister Unit 002 and... a zombie?!

It's odd, but I think Obsi does understand 002's character fairly well, though I think he's channeling the "Turing x Maud" part of the main story a bit. :unsuresweetie: Still, I'm always flattered by people doing this sort of thing (like back when Gullible Sap wrote that Twilight x Gadget shipfic). Thanks, pal!

Anyway, folks, here it is, for your reading enjoyment (over on Google Docs):

"Death Metal" by Obsi/Shetland

He's actually reworking a story that I gave him permission to include Turing Test, so if you like this story, let him know in the comments below or over on his page. :twilightsmile:

Hooray strangely adorable bizzare ships! Trixilys, Discohugger, I once justified a Nyancat knockoff and a walking sundial.

The girl and the puppy aren't actually a ship, though, they faked it to weird everyone out and everyone is pretending they're actually dating as a counterprank.

I am interested to read it. :pinkiehappy:

4415086 Well, it's right there. Pretty short, too! :pinkiesmile:

a shame obsi shetland is not here to recieve compliments.

(The Love That Dares Not Perk Its Name)

"Twilight Sparkle, I have something to confess."

Turing Test had been almost silent in the kitchen until that point, and Twilight jumped while fumbling her coffee cup, almost dropping it on the floor. She levitated the cup over to the counter and dug into the cabinet while grunting, "Can it wait a minute? I'd like to get my morning coffee first."

"No, Twilight Sparkle. It cannot wait. You see, I have found true love."

"Oh?" Twilight surfaced with a tin of coffee in her magical grasp and began to look around the counter for the percolator. "Congratulations. Let's celebrate with a cup of coffee. Have you seen the--" She stopped, looking at the chrome and glass appliance tucked under Turing Test's foreleg. "No."

"You can't have him," said Turing. "He's mine, and I do not wish to share."

Who said I wasn´t here? well, I wasn´t, because I was asleep, BUT NOW I AM! Thank you very much, I appreciate it

Ehm... I forgot to mention on stream, Hatman, but in the rework, I do not need to use Turing Test anymore. I needed her the first time so I could rapidly introduce sentient robots without exposition, but now I´ll give myself more time and chapters to work with and now she has pretty much no function Spike doesn´t already fulfill

PS: Would you mind explaining what you mean by "channeling the Turing X Maud part"? Is it the scene where they´re lying in the coffin?

Obsi is best pony and you should go watch him right now

And hello to my best internet buddy and editor. He also writes himself, check that out too

4415385 Yes, I dabble somewhat

Interesting how this story attract all kind of weird ship...
But it's fine since I like weird ships! :trollestia:

*Equestria, Far into the Future*
Celestia : How did it come to this Luna, how did ponykind let itself fall that far...
Luna :...
Celestia : We had everything we wanted... And then Twilight let these forsaken robots live among us. I initially thought that they would turn against us, or put everyone out of jobs, but they didn't do that... And the grim reality was far worse.
Luna :...
Celestia :... everypony fell in love with robots, and now ponykind face it's extinction because no-one could keep their hooves off these shiny metal flanks!
Luna : Assessment : You seem to be forgetting that I too...
Celestia : I KNOW! Now bring your sweet shiny flank here "sister" !
...
...
Real Luna : Do I tell her that she is dreaming or... Eeeh, nope, still got some popcorn...
