Of all the abuses Scootaloo has suffered in her life, green beans are probably the worst. What is a cute horse soaked in pop cultural sewer to do in the face of these wretched vegetables?
Act sensibly? Of course not.

I agreed with you, dude.
I agree fully. Fuckers are NASTY.

Great, more of this "hurr durr ahm so ejy wiff mah violnt famely gai hoomur" schtick. It's not like we have enough of this unfunny schlock on this goddamn site.
Whatever happened to happy humor? Why did everyone who wanted to be funny decide to be all dark and horrible? It's such desperate, boring, poor attempts at comedy like this that really grind my gears.
i feel like you're pulling the camera back too much with this one. some people have a taste for meta-referential fiction so circular that it melts in on itself, but i'm not sure i'm one of them.
also, the flashes to your usual violent description seemed out of place. context, even removed from context, creates the experience of the reader, and while we can emulate with the confusing style of the narrative by being thrown into it headfirst, it doesn't necessarily make the story an enjoyable read. though, maybe that's the point?
a pithy emoticon is the best i can do. have at.
Edgier than a dodecahedron.

If Seth McFarlane wrote this kind of shit, I would watch Family Guy
every dayat all.Well, I dunno about everypony else, but I found this 8.5/10 on the funny-scale.
Kudos, mate; that's good readin'.
That was fucking weird.

You had trouble reading it, didn't you?
2744816 If by "trouble reading it" you mean "I'm tired of these poor attempts at humor in between shocking horrors of life and death", yeah.
Call me a bit sensitive, but I've been living my whole life keeping myself in check so that my blood sugar doesn't go out of wack and my body ends up destroying itself. Death and suffering being treated as funny jokes just doesn't strike a chord with me. Humor can be dark and snarky, but it shouldn't be heartless.
I tend to fill my comments with subjective crap, I know, but let's face it- The more idiotic attempts at "dark humor" I read, the more I wish I could reach through screens and throw Poe anthologies at these fucktards.
I'm betting Regidar on this, also made me genuinely smile for once. You sir, write crack like no other.

Wrong way around mate. Also that entire comment just seemed grossly unnecessary to me, but to each their own I suppose.
Except the family guy references, those are always relevant, no exceptions.
Moar pls
This story would be perfect for a dramatic reading, especially if I were to use my gameshow host voice...
Now all I need to do is buy a voice-recording device...

Based on your first post, I'd thought you'd gotten it and were being playing along, but apparently no such luck. Ah well, you're under no obligation to parse it, but there's no call for being a condescending prick about things.
As for death and suffering, this is the lightest story I've written in a while. The death of individuals and civilization are only referenced, rather than being explicitly described. You'll never escape alive, so you might as well enjoy the trip to the bottom as much as possible.

If this is 'dark' for you in any sense of the imagination, I fear to imagine how you've gotten through life.
2748881 To be a bit less subjective and emotionally charged, it's a shame you wasted such an intriguing concept for a storytelling model on such a tired-ass punchline of "an den scutawoo wus n orfan". The joke is lame to the point of being unfunny.
I'm a guy who tends to be a bit more sueamish, too, so maybe that had something to do with it. As I said before, the disjointed-yet-cohesive narrative thing is pretty brilliant, but you wasted it's potential on a lackluster, tired joke.
I think that's what really got to me. It pained me that the punchline was terrible and, imao, not even neccesary. Let's assume that the narratives alongside the horrors of PEAS were in Scootaloo's head. The juxstaposition of Scootaloo's violent-media saturated thoughts with her less than dangerous outer behavior would have made the fic more unsettling in a way. Scootaloo killing her parents simply renders the disturbing nature of her imagination as having less of an impact, and therefore it's less funny. Dark humor is about the juxstaposition of the combined lightness and darkness of the tone. A fully-dark tone with a jocular bent to it doesn't render the same impact.
There. That's the difficult-to-understand reasoning behind my thumbdown, without me being a jackass.
Also sorry for comparing you to Seth McFarlane. Nobody deserves that.
2749137 Death and violence falls underneath darkness.
As for life? I've had a chronic illness since I was eight. Type 1 Diabetes. If I don't constantly ensure that I'm supplied with what I need to survive, I die. I die an excruciatingly painful death, basically causing my body to shut down completely. I have to keep tabs on all my supplies, keep my blood sugar in check, regularily visit my doctor. I've had many a sleepless night where I've had massively high blood sugars and I've had mornings where I have had trouble getting up because I cannot will my body to move thanks to a low blood sugar. I've gone to the emergency room more than once. I even recieved my last rites when I was diagnosed.
I've been through a lot of shit.
This fic is dark.
Well, no wonder you hate green beans if you're getting them from a CAN. All veggies taste horrible from a can. Seriously, stop by the frozen veggies aisle of your grocery store, pick up a BAG of frozen green beans (french cut is okay, but I think the shorter ones are better) put them into a microwave safe bowl, covered, for about 5-10 minutes on med-high heat (it depends on how powerful your microwave is) and viola! If they're still a bright GREEN (not YELLOW green) and steaming lightly, then they should be just fine.
I'm not even joking here. I can't understand why people insist on using recipes that were obviously invented from time periods back before we had access to proper refrigeration methods and had no choice but to find ways to cover up the taste of rot.
At first I had trouble understanding what was going on in the story, but about halfway through I made the connection to Calvin and Hobbes' Spaceman Spiff moments and everything clicked into place.
I also enjoyed this
I thought it was impressive how you did the Daring Do stuff

I like green beans!
Don't hate on them! D:
And this, ladies and gentlemen, is what a fimfic by David Lynch looks like.
Upvoted mostly for the author's note, which is to say I did not get this, but I would still like to be friends.
A powerful story with an important message.
Why haven't I seen this before?
This is surreal
The Odyssey WISHES it could be as gripping and epic as this.
