Is going to get a bit dark. It won't be the deplorable soul crushing darkness of the Isles and the Trials, but it will be dark and there will be some major character development for multiple characters in the cast.

Surprisingly, Bucky won't be the one walking down the darkest path.

So prepare yourselves. The arc begins soon. Foreshadowing has already begun in the current chapter of The Chase.

Also, expect Applejack to be awesome.

I'm confused. Why wouldn't I expect Applejack to be awesome?

What's the worst you could have done

I love that animation X3

Is this arc expected to invoke the feels as the last one did?

That animation started nicely.
Then it got dark.
Then it got VERY dark.
And at the end I was questioning whether or not it is healthy for me to have enjoyed it.

Also, now you have me reviewing the previous chapters for signs of foreshadowing.
