This story is a sequel to Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads)


Finger Food's life is going pretty well. She's disguising herself well enough that nopony recognizes her as an evil clone of Pinkie Pie from the Mirror Pool. And she's renting an apartment and living with her super-fun husband Puzzle Box, and she's studying at university for a Bachelors in Philosophy.

And she's working on her evil plans to become immortal and have fun for all eternity, while making sure to keep hiding from everypony in Equestria, including Twilight and her friends and extended family.

But one day, long after she graduates and Princess Twilight became the ruler of all Equestria, her Finger Food Sense tells her that there will be a horrible disaster starting in Ponyville that will affect everycreature in Equis, including her, so she takes a break from her evil plans to stop it, by any means necessary.

This story tells the events of its prequel Too Many Shining Armors (are Terrible Dads) from Finger Food's much more serious first person perspective.

The Human tag: All characters are quadrupedal ponies. This story has brief discussions of the Equestrian's government's advice for what to do if a human or other unknown creature is encountered, and there is only the single human that also appeared in the prequel making a brief appearance with no speaking lines in the body of a pony (with no speaking lines) (in the body of a pony makes a brief appearance with no speaking lines)

This is a (withdrawn) submission to the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad Competition, containing an evil Pinkie Pie clone's perspective and thoughts about Shining Armor being a terrible dad, mostly in the last three chapters.


A/N: The death tag: Actual deaths are limited to at least one clone getting sent to the Mirror Pool. Hypothetical deaths include an evil clone inappropriately and elaborately describing their reaction to the Trolley problem, a series of thought experiments in ethics and psychology, involving stylized ethical dilemmas of whether to sacrifice one person to save a larger number.

Themes of death also include: Fear of death/extinction. The death tag is also there for themes of ponies (other than alicorns) being mortal. It's also there for uses of the spell that send clones to the Mirror Pool, as perceived by Finger Food. This is a dark tragedy for the main character. The spell usage is similar to events in Too Many Pinkie Pies (Season 3, Episode 3), and that episode is rated TV-Y (suitable for all ages).

Other miscellaneous tags

  • The Dark Forest Hypothesis as a story theme (simplified version: characters that shoot and ask questions later, or hide as well as they can to avoid getting shot)
  • Not a crossover, but this story has a few jokes about Undertale

The year is 1019, and the scars of the Great War are finally starting to fade from Equus. Queen Chrysalis of the Changeling Hegemony was defeated by a last, desperate alliance of free creatures from across the continent. The All-Ponies Front pushed into the heart of her empire in Vesalipolis after years of daring tank maneuvers beyond muddy trenches while planes dueled above. The Stalliongrad Soviet fought beside the Principality of Equestria it once shunned. The Crystal Empire modernized and stood with the Yaks across the northern mountains. The penguins and bears of the north resisted in the bitter cold. The deer of Olenia rose up under their rightful queen. The Republic of Nova Griffonia mostly made money selling guns to all the little ponies.

The war, and what came afterward, was a time of great upheaval and change. Princess Celestia and Luna abdicated their titles to Twilight Sparkle; the Princess of Friendship rules beside Prime Minister Sunset Shimmer and the Council of Friendship. The Crystal Empire, being a time displaced feudal state, did not change that much. Princess Mi Amore Cadenza and Prince Shining Armor rule as a universally beloved sovereign and a war hero. As the world changes around it, the eternal Crystal City stands still.

Princess Flurry Heart, currently going through "a phase," would like to change this.

By summoning the Ghost of Communism Past as her new political science tutor while her mother is away.

It is up to Shining Armor to avert the dictatorship of the poneletariat and the downfall of the bourneighsie.

May Harmony help them all.

No characters die in this story. The 'death' tag is there for a disease that would cause death, and a fear of death.
