I'm Griffin, not much else to it. I've been bullied most of my life, which left me bitter and sarcastic. I'm a closet brony. What? You think I'm just gonna go out and tell a world that hates me that I watch a cartoon intended for little girls? I don't feel like giving the punks at school any more ammo. That's when cosmic powers decide I need to take a trip to my favorite fantasy land. But all is not sunshine and rainbows and it certainly won't be after I'm done with it. Equestria from the point of view of an extremely pissed off teenager, with a twist. Rust, the author of 'The Ballad of Echo the Diamond dog' is awesomesauce enough to have a cross over between our stories. Carnelian is a boss when it comes to art. Part of the 'Chess Game of the Gods'.

Violence, gratuitous swearing, and sexual themes. Reader discretion is advised.

Legend tells of a picture that, when seen, drives people mad. This is a story of one of those people.

Yay, my first Grimdark! Even though it's not as gory as cupcakes, (or as good) I just felt like writing a grimdark. Written in a single day. sort of based around this comic, even though it and the story have nothing in common. : http://bit.ly/qfbzor

This story is a sequel to Silent Ponyville

In an attempt to make her feelings known, Fluttershy begins to persue the target of her delicate heart's affection. However, when her interest seems to be oblivious to her feelings will she find the inner strength to admit her true feelings to the one she desires? Or will disaster follow her at every turn? (Takes place 1 month after Silent Ponyville, but is not required reading material)

Sequel: http://www.fimfiction.net/story/4868/Silent-Ponyville-2

The mane six take shelter in a place that is, for now, safe from a disaster occurring outside.

This gruesome tale of violence and death is not recommended for colts, fillies, or the faint of heart.
