I'ma write a good ol' post-apocalypse story. · 6:18pm Jul 30th, 2018
No, not Fallout: Equestria. That's been done to death at this point, and I haven't really bothered to learn much of the Fallout lore anyways.
Instead, let's have a sorta Pompeii-esque story. Say that Canterlot Mountain is in reality, a dormant volcano.
Perhaps Canterlot is built so strangely on the side of the mountain because it was meant to completely avoid the path of destruction.
Why, you might ask, would the soil in Sweet Apple Acres be so fertile?
