Lyra sees and hears things that nopony else can, she can smell and taste them too, but they usually smell rancid and probably taste awful. A tribute to the novel John Dies at the End.
4725979 Best filly hands down. Blank flanks can suck it.
4727852 Yeah, DT's mom is pretty much the worst. We actually had to tone her down before we published this because her original lines were a lot harsher.
4879225 Damn, just saw that you added this story to a new bookshelf of yours and realized that I never replied to this comment. So sorry about that!
Thanks for your feedback! Vinyl x Any Apple is a ton of fun to write, her personality can just bounce off of their family dynamic in a thousand different ways since they're so different from each other. Definitely going to be more of them going down the line. Thanks for your support Tela!
Ugh, she's one of those over-critical, whiny mothers, too. The exact WORST kind to be trapped on the mortal plane to eternally torment the living. See, this is why us humans have the Ghostbusters. You can't just rag-tag this sort of thing. Get organized, get professional, and get a theme song.
This is nice. Real nice. I don't see book crossovers around here much and I never expected to find a crossover with John Dies At The End. You've got a good grasp of the tone, the batshittiness of the events and the horror mixed with black comedy.
Wish it wasn't 41 weeks since an update, but hey, I've done worse.
You know, now that canon has established that Bon Bon is a monster hunter in deep cover, maybe if you get back to this you can actually bring her back in. I was sort of expecting her to be John, because of her position in the title, but obviously John is Vinyl. But now it seems like, being that her actual job is monster hunter, you could do something really cool with her inducting Vinyl and Lyra into the weird, fucked up world of the Sauce.
I'd kind of also like to see Discord turn up. Possibly basically to go "Nope, not helping you, I'm protecting my friend and her friends so they never have to deal with any of this crap but I really could give less than a shit about you", explaining why the Mane 6 know nothing about this when normally they are weird shit central. Also it might be kind of cool if Pinkie's sister Maud knows what's going on, and Pinkie sort of knows but is frantically blocking all knowledge of it out of her head, so like she sees this shit but then forgets it happened 30 seconds later.
6454683 Thanks for the comment! Funny thing is that this story isn't dead, it's already had anever update after a year before. We've got a chapter written down that we can't get to until we finish this next chapter, it's just that with classes going on its tough to find the time to write.
The idea for this story really came about when I was arguing with someone who said I couldn't write a story with Lyra without Bon Bon as a foil. A lot of what happens in the story was for the purpose of breaking norms with a clear end goal in mind. That being said though with Bon Bon an actual monster hunter this story could actually use her now, but I don't think we'll give her any sort of major role change.
Diamond Tiara huh? Interesting.
wow. Tiara's mother is...beyond horrible
