A Blood-Moon Rises · 9:57am Jul 21st, 2018
Warning; This picture is a scary one.
In the interests of my followers, I'm going to include a gap so that only those who click on this blog box will actually see it.

Okay, hopefully that's enough gap.
Here we go.
Something for the Nightmare Fuel Station, hopefully.
As I mentioned in my Group Forum Headcanon, there's a difference between Batponies and Vamponies.
All batponies are possessed of a colossal thirst for nutrients. Batponies will hunger for any food available, fruit in particular. But when the thirst gets bad enough, they will hunt the blood of the living.
When the thirst is sated a moment, the batpony will look at what they've done, come to their senses and seek help, wishing nothing more than to be part of society once again.
...
But a vampony will like it. A vampony will choose the life of a monster, preying on their kind and dabbling in blood-magic.
And the greatest of Vampony magic is the summoning of a Blood-Moon. Under the Blood-Moon, vamponies will be at their most powerful as the night lasts for weeks on end and no star is seen in the sky and the rain looks and tastes of rust, scarring the skin. Ponies will no longer be their prey but their livestock. Nowhere will be safe from their gaze as the shadows bend to their will and a city as large as Canterlot would be theirs in a matter of days.
That is why Canterlot, and indeed Equestria, has its Slayers Guild brought over from Dunholm.
And the greatest of the Slayers are the House of Blades.
Nah, have seen worse. But great work as always. Reminds me somwhow of a funny bat pony picture I saw once, and a...MLP picture of Spec Ops the line...do you really want to know?

I think I've seen that picture, yeah. Nasty.

Well, the bat pony, couldn't help but replace it with Midnight and the other with Gusty in my headpre00.deviantart.net/7975/th/pre/f/2018/136/9/8/rose_gets_sacrificed_3_by_obcor-dcboake.jpg
And the other pic, here's the link
Was not expecting to see something like this in my news feed this morning, but I like it and the concept. I had a funny little headcanon that I piloted in Zeta Cherrypaste. If Bat Ponies start chugging Changeling blood instead of fruit, what happens? My hypothesis was that they start going mad, dying, and/or start having other thirsts, the latter giving rise to actual Vamponies.

That is a good question.
How does insect blood differ from human blood, I wonder?
I've got batponies hungering after insects along with eggs, nuts, honey, milk and anything else high in essential nutrients. Their metabolism starts going like crazy so they have to constantly eat and drink until the thirst has subsided long enough for them to get it together.
Living blood will sate the thirst almost immediately but then you've just committed murder (The attack usually kills the first victim through shock or blood-loss).
Essentially, the difference between a 'batpony' and a 'vampony' is a question of conscience.
Batponies lose their sanity.
Vamponies lose their morality.

Yeah, I saw that picture when I was on Derpibooru. Nasty,
Interesting. Though important to remember Midnight's a batpony, not a vampony.
He hates vamponies, he used to hunt them for a living.
And Gusty has flutterpony blood which is highly resistant to blood-magic. It doesn't shield her completely but it would render a lot of their tricks and powers nearly useless.

Yeah. I supoose if the knights are in Walker's place, that MIdnight would "blame" the pony they are supossed to get out, and Wolf and Midnight start to agure like Hugo and the LMG gunner do. And the batpony think, funny thought:
Gusty has this as nightmare with the vampire looking identical to Midnight as bat pony, shorty before he becomes it

There are ways to tell the difference between a batpony and vampony.
The main difference is that batpony shadow-magic appears a darker, duller shade of their coat while vampony blood-magic is always red.

I see. Was just a funny idea if you need humor in Warmonger.
