Twilight felt the need to go to the bathroom and relieve herself. Carefully she tried to break away from Velvet's hug. But that wasn’t going to happen.
"Where are you going without me?" Asked Velvet, as she stopped Twilight's fleeting hooves with her strong magic.
Twilight groaned, at the ritual she was going to pass through for go to the restroom.
"I am going to the bathroom, but, for some reasons I can't go there. Can you escort me there?"
Velvet smiled, already forgetful of what had happened just few seconds before, already bent to act like an irritatingly sweet and creepy mother.
"Follow me then," she said, as she passed in front of Twilight and unlocked the cameretta's door.
Once they were out of the room and in the hallway, Velvet, as her custom, walked at snail-like speed, while her daughter behind her tried to not mess herself and not overtake her in a run to the bathroom.
Fortunately for Velvet's daughter, the march to the restroom was not slow enough to stall Twilight all together, making her ultimately end up having an accident.
Velvet slowly opened the door, and, when the door was open, Twilight propelled herself in, untapped her diaper violently, and sat on the toilet, all in matter of twenty seconds.
As she sat on the toilet, Twilight tried to hold it in for a little longer for ask a favor o Velvet.
"Please, Velvet, leave me some privacy!"
Twilight's mother tilted her head on the left and grinned.
"Why?"
"Oh no." Twilight said to herself with annoyance mixed with slight fear ‘She wants to watch me use the restroom now too? Oh, this is just like when I was three for real!"
Since Twilight was not in a position that allowed her to push for her desires, nor she really wanted to fight it, she just relieved herself, while Velvet watched.
Once the Twilight ‘finished’ the last of her business, Velvet clapped her hooves and smiled,
“Well done Twily, I’m so proud of you! You used the potty like a big filly!”
Twilight groaned at the insulting compliment given by Velvet, and said, as she jumped down the toilet seat.
"Please don’t patronize me, okay?"
Ignoring her daughter's comment, Velvet said, while taking the roll of toilet paper with her magic.
"Let's get all cleaned up now!"
Twilight immediately understood what she had to do, and parted her legs, letting Velvet take care of the cleaning. The cleaning done, Velvet re-taped the diaper on Twilight's waist.
Twilight was escorted by her mother back to the cameretta, where Pinkie Pie was idly stacking building blocks. Twilight glared at Pinkie; it was time to talk about everything that was one her mind.
Pinkie Pie, apparently unable to process what Twilight's glare meant, smiled back at Twilight.
Velvet left Twilight, and said.
"Mommy is going to have a nap. In the meanwhile, stay here." And then locked the door behind her.
Twilight looked behind her, saw that the door was closed, then looked sternly at Pinkie.
"I hope you have your excuses ready, Pinkie Pie," she said, "Because you’ve been an absolutely horrible friend to me."
Pinkie Pie looked confused at Twilight.
"Why? What did I do?"
Twilight rolled her eyes and groaned.
"You tackled me, and let my psychotic mother force fed me!"
"Oh," said Pinkie with a strangely shrill tone of voice, “Come on, it was a prank!"
Twilight felt her very soul burst into flames.
"A prank? A prank? That wasn't a prank, Pinkie! That was just helping my Mother in her relentless quest to turn me into a foal!" Twilight walked towards Pinkie with an angry stance, “She’s tearing me down. I know you’re so blinded by your own world, but not every pony wants to be a helpless foal…”
Pinkie frowned as she was scolded more.
Tears formed in Twilight’s eyes as she continued spilling her feelings,”I can’t tell if you even care about me! If any anypony that truly cares about me can do anything! Princess Celestia seems uncaring now, Cadence cannot grasp the true form of this insanity, and Lex is a three-years old with a great heart but no true power! My only hope is my father, and the Heaven knows when he will come back!”
Pinkie looked at Twilight with eyes of a puppy dog that has been beaten with an oak cane, trembling lips, and ears lowered. She was clearly hit in the core.
"B-but I am y-your friend. I-I just wanted s-some fun..."
Twilight glared.
"You still ARE my friend..." Twilight said, “But you’re just not helping me the way you could be. I get that you’re special talent is laughter, but this isn’t fun for me, none of this is fun for me!”
Twilight, slightly calmed down, sighed. “Look, I am ready to forgive you, but…”
Pinkie almost flattened herself to the ground, as she looked nervously to Twilight.
"But...?"
Twilight continued "You have to help me Pinkie. Take the bullet for me, eat my spiked food, ask to be taken out on a stroll, say you need a change if I need to use the restroom," Twilight loomed over Pinkie "And don’t even try to involve me in your childish games. I don’t want to be anymore of foal then I am. I’m loosing my patience with everypony recently, I-I can’t even think what’ll happen when this is all over. You better help me, if anything for the safety of the State, because it relies on our friendship."
Pinkie Pie nodded quickly and grabbed Twilight's left leg "I understand, I understand!"
Twilight lowered her head towards Pinkie.
"Good. But are you going to help me?"
Pinkie detached herself from Twilight's leg.
"I-I don't know... on one side, I wanna live my foal hood carefree. When I was on a Rock Farm in Petra, I was never cuddled the way Velvet does, and, honestly, I hoped to take back the lsot time. On other hoof, I don’t want to lose you and the girls in Ponyville. I am one of the Elements after all and, as you said, it is my duty to be good friends with the gang.”
Twilight gave a small smile to Pinkie, in the attempt to moderate the tension that built-up in the meanwhile.
“So, your choice?”
Pinkie Pie smiled sheepishly. “I don’t know. Can I give you an answer later? I won’t do anything too weird against you meanwhile, I swear.”
As she said that, the door creaked, meaning that her mother had returned from her slumber.
Twilight, after accepting silently the agreement, sighed as she watched her mother stroll right back in.
“Four in the afternoon” Twilight read on the childish-looking wall clock, “That has to be one of the longest naps ever taken by my mother.”
Carrying baskets containing dolls and blocks, the insane mother started to hand them out to both the adult-fillies, before taking a few for herself.
The next few hours were spent with Twilight, Pinkie, and Velvet pretending the stuffed bear and lion were real and that they were ring masters in a traveling circus.
The game roleplaying went on for a pretty long time. The whole performance Twilight spoke the bare minimum amount of words to keep her mother happy. Pinkie and Velvet on the other hoof did enjoy themselves in their game.
The monotony was broken when Twilight, as she made a stuffed bear do a pirouette, noticed that Pinkie stopped for few second. The pink pony gave a concentrated frown, before resuming the game. Looking down a bit, Twilight noticed that Pinkie’s diaper got slightly bigger and lighter in colour. It seemed they both ignored that.
Twilight desired to point out her friend’s wetness, but decided out of annoyance and boredom to see how long it took for Velvet to notice.
After a couple of minutes, Velvet exaggerated her sniffing and moved the stuffed toy’s nuzzle accordingly, before touching with the stuffed animal’s arms to the front of Pinkie’s diaper; making it produce a *squish* sound.
“I smell a wet filly in the audience..” said Velvet, while still doing the nasal voice she had used while she was playing properly “Shall we give her a change?”
Pinkie Pie giggled at Velvet’s little act, walked towards the changing table, and letting Velvet bring her on the top and do all the procedure.
Once the diaper change was done, Velvet looked at a Twilight. The young mare was pacing back and forth, clearly there was something on her mind.
“One cent for your thoughts.” Velvet said.
Twilight turned around to her mother, and decided to have some fun with her mother.
“Nothing interesting, just thinking about how many ways I can shut you up before I lose my damn mind!”
Velvet frowned at her daughter, “Such naughty language for such a little filly…” she said, levitating a pacifier out of a drawer, “You wanna see a neat little trick I’ve picked up from one of my nursing books?”
Twilight closed her eyes, “why did she have to act like such a plot?”
“No, I don’t to be honest…” Twilight said, knowing that’d Velvet’s punishment would bej ust a cruel regardless.
A white pacifier that matched the design of her diapers appeared in her mouth. Confused, Twilight tried to open her lips only to find out that her mouth was being magically sealed shut, “Mmm-comeon!” she moaned behind her pacifier.
“Son of a…”
“Bad Twily, foals should never use such bad words!” Velvet interrupted, grabbing one of her daughter’s hoofs and swiftly escorting her to the corner of the room.
Scornfully, Twilight waved her hoof, “Well young lady, I hope you’re happy with yourself! You’ve earned yourself a whole three minutes in the corner. Also, you can forget about eating big filly food tonight, clearly you can’t handle anything that a big filly puts in her mouth!”
Twilight rolled her eyes.
“Meh, whatever,” she thought “as long your ‘master plan’ is still less thought out than Rainbow Dash’s studying schedule, I can almost say I’m fine with it.”
After several minutes of staring aimlessly at the corner of the room, Velvet sang, “Alright Twily, did you learn your lesson?”
“Mmmhmm.” Twilight hummed, not really meaning it. What was there to learn, after all?
Velvet sat down in front of Twilight and popped the magical pacifier out of Twilight’s mouth.
“Happy?” Twilight said, rubbing her dry lips.
The insane mother frowned, “No, I don’t like to punish my little filly…” Velvet said pecking her daughter on her cheek, “Let me go get you some chapstick alright?” the mare said trailing out of the room.
Twilight watched patiently for her mother left the room before trotting up to Pinkie, “See what I mean? That’s not right.”
The party pony raised an eyebrow, “Well you did tell her to ‘shut up’, not to mention you said a bad word.
“I think you’re missing the point Pinkie, I-”
“Twily…” Velvet said cheerfully strolling back into the room, “I got you that chapstick!” she said opening the top of it, “Pucker your lips baby!”
Blushing, Twilight did as instructed by Velvet, and covered her dry lips into a slightly shiny film.
Once she did that, Velvet added, “Hmm, perhaps I should let you babies play with each other while I am getting supper prepared?”
“Yes!” Twilight yelled immediately, desiring to prove her point to Pinkie.
Velvet smiled, “Awe, my littlest baby is hungry. Well, fear not, I’ll have supper made in ten minutes alright?” she said closing the cameretta’s door shut.
“See what I mean?” Twilight said scootching near Pinkie, “She’s babying me at every turn, and it’s just getting worse day by day. I can use crude language if I want, I’m not really a foal remember?!”
Pinkie nodded, “Yeah… but you still shouldn’t use it. You are living in her house hold Twilight, you should reall be behaving yourself.”
Twilight groaned and looked annoyed at Pinkie “Didn’t we just have a discussion about that, Pinkie? She’s babying me, I’ve already grown up once, and I don’t want to grow up once again, not from the Dark Ages at least- or from the start; basically infancy.”
“Of course you are, silly…” Pinkie booped Twilight on the nose, “You’re her daughter and her guest. While I think it’s really mean what’s she’s doing to you, you can’t blame her when you’re depending on her…”
Twilight huffed annoyed, “But Pinkie, That’s not the point! I-I’m concerned for me and myself and her. I-I don’t want to send her to a mental house, not while I'm without my salary, but my situation is always getting worse…”
“Twilight!” Velvet called as she opened the door, “You two hurry to the kitchen, I’ve got a big surprise for you!”
Obedient to her insane mother, Twilight reluctantly trotted through the granite-paved hallways and into the kitchen. Her jaw dropped as she stared at the bizarre looking piece of furniture.
“You just have to love it don’t you?” Velvet said lifting her daughter in a wide padded highchair, with the seat made of a pink cotton padding and the tray made of a pearly white Formica wood, “It’s really nice isn’t it? I ordered it on my way to your Kindergarten yesterday. It’s surprising how fast unicorn magic can work when you give the right amount of bits.”
Twilight stared at the highchair, unable to comprehend how in the whole wide world any sane artisan would have accepted Velvet’s request without batting an eye.
Smiling, Velvet levitated Twilight in the chair, leaned over and started doing the straps around her daughter’s chest, “Comfy, isn’t it? I thought of ordering one for Pinkie, but I think she’s more than capable of feeding herself.”
Twilight tried moving around, but between the tray and straps, everything was too snug to move.
Paying no attention to Twilight, Velvet grabbed the Pinkie’s dinner plate and served it in front of the pink mare, “There you go honey, a sandwich, biscuits, apples, and a cupcake for my sweet little angel.” Vevelt finished, nuzzling the side of her daughter’s face.
“As for you my silly little filly…” Velvet said carrying on a small plastic plate, “Bread slices, foal food, and formula!”
The plate was set in front of Twilight, but there was no silver wear.
“How am I supposed to eat this?” the purple unicorn asked, shrinking in her padded seat.
“Awh, Twily. You’re much too young to feed yourself like your big sister Pinkie. Now open wide and I’ll give your nommies!”
Twilight cringed at the word "nommies" and at the mention of "Big sister Pinkie." Closing her eyes in defeat, she began opening her mouth, eating the food at the snail fast pace Velvet delivered it.
Everything tasted worse than the last. The bread tasted of nothing but wheat, the banana baby food was ultra-sweet and the cheesy baby food was extra pungent. Worst of all was the spinach flavored baby food. Usually she liked her vegetables. But for some reason, someone thought of harnessing the full potential of the most malodorous vegetable into one concentrated mush. Now Twilight remember why she refused to eat the vegetables when she was a filly.
Unable to take any more of it, Twilight swallowed her pride and shook her head when the finale spoon came, “Milk!” she exclaimed, while pointing at the bottle full of formula.
“Aww, poor baby. Sorry, I know it doesn’t taste good, but you’ll grow big and strong from it.” Velvet said moving the spoon of green mush back up to the poor mare’s mouth.
“Damnit…” Twilight thought to herself as she endured the last of the three spoonfuls of the baby mush, “Hopefully formula will wash it down… and only that,” she finished her thoughts with a slight smile.
Without any warning, Velvet undid her daughter’s straps lifted Twilight from under the serving tray and unto her lap.
Her position leaving her with no other option, Twilight hung her hoofs around Velvet’s neck as a bottle was brought to her mouth. It was around this time where Twilight started missing the highchair. There was a bit of a subtle closeness she had to her mother in that moment, which she really didn’t want to have.
Trying to make the most out of the situation, Twilight closed her eyes and started suckling on the bottle at a decent speed. Atleast this time it tasted of nothing other than vitaminized milk, no tastes ascribable to laxatives could be found in the bottle, so, for Twilight, that might as well have been milk from Celestia’s teats.
Pinkie “Daww’d” at the cute sight in front of her. With no more food to eat, she had nothing other to do than stair in admiration at her ‘little sister’.
Twilight glared at Pinkie as if to yell “Not Helping!”. Eventually Twilight finished the bottle and was patted on the back.
Twilight pressed inwards her stomach to simulate a burp and so be done with it. With that all behind her, Twilight hopped off of Velvet’s lap.
She didn’t even have words to say to her mother. Quietly, she walked out of the kitchen to upstairs to her bedroom. Shutting the door behind her, she collapsed on the undersized bed and closed her eyes.
“Twily?” Velvet said bardging into the bedroom
“What?” Twilight said stepping away from her.
Velvet approached her daughter with a genuine smile and hugged her; not in a creepy-affectionate way like earlier either.
“I-I’m glad you were so patient on my lap tonight.” she said brushing her hoof through her daughter’s mane.
Twilight lifted an eyebrow as her mother broke away from the hug, “Umm, it’s alright mom…” she said, trying to break away from the petting.
“Does my little Twily want help getting dressed?”
“Umm…” Twilight looked over at the wardrobe across the room, “I guess it wouldn’t…” the mare thought a moment about how her blanket sleeper would warm her, and how that could have been turned into a trap “Actually, I’d prefer to stay in nothing but my diaper. Thanks.”
Her mother walked towards her, “Wait, is there anything else I can do for you before you go to bed?”
Twilight placed her hoof on her chin, “Uh, could you get me water? I’m still really thirsty.”
Velvet smiled as she walked out of the bedroom and downstairs to the kitchen.
Confused by the scene that took place, Pinkie trotted up to Velvet filling up a bottle filled with water.
“W-what happened up there?” Pinkie asked, poking Velvet’s side.
The bottle filled all the way up to the top and Velvet closed the lid, “Nothing sweetie, Twilight is just tired is all.”
“Tired of what?” Pinkie asked.
Velvet looked at her bottle before looking back at Pinkie with a small smile, “Just tired. Listen, once I get Twilight tucked in, I’ll read a story alright? I gotta go talk to your baby sister now.”
Velvet trotted her way back to Twilight’s room. Slowly opening the door, she brought the bottle of water to Twilight, “Sorry, all the sippy cups were in the washer.”
“It’s fine…” Twilight said with a sigh, “Please just leave…” She said as she pulled the covers over her top and used both hoofs to lift the bottle to her face. Turning away from Velvet, she slowly unscrewed the top of the bottle away, drunk the contenent in one gulp, and screwed the top back in.
Velvet left the room with a smirk on her face.
She closed the door to find Pinkie was impatiently waiting outside.
“Is Twilight sick?” she asked curiously.
“No, I think my baby just needed some rest. Come on, Balloon Bottom, let’s get you ready for bed too….
With an “Aaaww,” Pinkie Pie obeyed to Velvet’s request.
Later on, Twilight Sparkle wake up in a strange room, with the floor made of what it seemed pure light, and the walls stretching to the infinite.
“Where I am?” Asked Twilight to herself, as she looked around her.
A feminine and powerful voice answered.
“Welcome to the Dreamscape, oh ye faithful servant of my sister!"
Princess Luna materialized from a blue-ish fog in front of an awed Twilight.
“P-Princess Luna? I-is that you?”
“Indeed, Crepuscoli Scintilla, faithful scholar for my sister Celestia. We are here, in your dreams, to give you support in this time of need! We have seen the prophetic dream that has visited you last night. While We could not interfere, for it is impossible for Us to do so. We could however percieve the martyrdom that your mind is suffering. Future visits in the dreams of other subjects related to you have proven it.”
Twilight, after trying to not disassamble herself for the Traditional Canterlot voice, said.
“I appreciate your interest in me, Your Higness. But, is there any reasons to visit me? I’m sure that there are many ponies that would love some respite from their nightmares…”
Princess Luna started to walk around Twilight.
“We know. But We want to make to one of our cleanser a favor. We can give to your mother Velvet, daughter of Woolburner, a nightmare based on her most intimate and enclosed fear. Or We can provide you a dream so good, that it will purify your mind of any scum it may have gathered, and heal any wound that your parent’s actions may have done!”
Twilight backed down and stuttered, unable to compute what was going on around her…because it seemed too good to be true. Princess Luna was basically offering to her yet another way to get revenge on Velvet, or something capable of restore her sanity.
Closing her eyes, Twilight thought for a bit about her choice, before deciding that she could always save the offer for an all-curing dream in case of bordeline mental breakdown, point that she had yet to reach.
“I’d wish to give Velvet a strong nightmare, and reserve the healing dream for later, thank you very much.”
“As you wish, Crepuscoli Scintilla. If you desire, you may stay on Our side, and attend to the mean sight of your mother feeling fear after her tyrannical actions in the daylight!”
Twilight wasted no time.
“Yes! Yes! Yes!” She shouted.
Luna’s horn glowed with a blue aura, and her and Twilight’s figures started to flicker .
“So be it!” Shouted Luna, before disappearing with Twilight.
A couple of minutes traveling in a multicolored tunnel later, Twilight and Luna reappeared in what it seemed Twilight’s house… but on fire and wrecked by a mysterious force. It was possible hear shouting and cries from the inside.
Twilight put her hooves in front of her mouth in shock, before hearing a shout coming from the house.
“Velvet! Come back here, or I will tear out your soul and use it as asswipe!”
It was her voice. Curious, Twilight asked to Luna.
“Princess, i-is that me?”
Princess Luna silently nodded, before making her horn glow once again.
“Farewell, Crepuscoli Scintilla. You shall wake up back in your flesh and see the despair on Velvet’s face after this vision. For now, take pleasure in attend to this nightmare.”
Princess Luna disappeared once again, leaving Twilight alone in the dream.
She decided to go to the door, enter, and see what was going on in the house.
When she entered, she saw her mother crawling on the floor and with her face covered in blood. The walls had scorch marks, the marble statues lied broken on the cracked stone floor and the paintins were reduced to hanging crisps.
From the hallway that brought to the entrance hall, another Twilight appeared.
Better yet, Twilight-turned-alicorn appeared. She wore a golden breastplate with a spiky green gem in the center. She also wore a golden crown with rubies on each tip of the crown.
Twilight looekd in awe at her dream counterpart, and made herself ask.
“I-I’ m a princess in Velvet’s nightmares? But why?”
The reason was soon explained by her dream coutnerpart who, after raisign Velvet with her magic. Velvet begged.
“Twilight, Twilight, please, don’t kill me, I’m your old mother!”
Dream Twilight shouted.
“The fact you have generated me is just another reason for kill you! You have lived your pitiful life, you have used me as your little slave when I was just a mass of retarded flesh without any goals in life, and now it’s time to make you return to the ground that spawned you! You are old, you are weak, you do not deserve to stay in the realm of the living no more!”
Then Twilight’s horn glowed strogner nad stronger, until a tounge of fire appeared on Velvet’s tail. The fire spread, until a screaming Velvet was reduced to a small pile of burning ashes.
Twilight could not properly process what happened, that the scenario around her disappeared, and was replaced by the scene of a graveyard, a urn painted with scenes of ponies dancing over a cadaver towering over all the tombs, and a music playing from… somewhere.
A music whose rythm was unhaerd of by Twilight, and with a lyrics that made Twiligth smile a bit... and wake up.
Seeing that it was still late night, Twiligth decdied to let herself speculate.
"So, that is her nightmare that Princess Luna has promsied to me, I g..." Twiligth stopped herself mid-sentence "Hold on... Luna said that the nightmare sent by her was going to contain my mother's most enclsoed and strongest fears. I saw a burning house, symbol of family life going to Tartarus; me begin somehow an alicorn, maybe even a princess; and her dying by my hoof..."
Twilight put a hoof under her chin.
"So, apparently her insanity HAS a basis..."
I have no clue why I am continually surprised by Velvet's increasing lengths of insanity. At least Pinkie is still concerned for her "little sister".
4597462
Because it Always seems that she has a certain standard... before breaking it.
So Velvet's fear is of Twilight growing up?
4597934
Not completely that, but it's kinda related, also because it's an inevitable consequence of it for Velvet.
4597462 Yeah, at least Pinkie is finally starting to get her priorities straight.
During the part when Twilight drank the water in on gulp, it says Velvet left the room with a smirk, so I'm guessing Velvet spiked that water or something?
At first i thought the dream was going to be of Twilight gaining weight and sitting on the couch 24/7 constantly calling her mom to do stuff for her. But then I realized that Velvet's mentality would never let Twilight out of the baby stage so that rules that out.
love it good she got some bad happen to her
holy crap why is that the first time i've seen this used? lol punception.....
sooo velvet has devolved into thinking that twi is to young to feed herself? theeen why is she being aloud to go out by herself to magic kindergarden? that doesn't make any sense....
also can't say i like what you did with luna here , granted we have very little canon character to go off of , but she's only ever been seen helping ponies with their nightmares , i don't think she would intentionally torment one of her subjects with one even if twilight asked for it......
4597934 that's all you got from the nightmare scene? buddy there's a lot more troublesome things going on there than the idea that velvet doesn't want her children to grow up and become adults , i think we kinda had that part figured out in the first chapter of this story....
4597470 oh huh i never noticed that , im interested to see how that's progressed but i don't want to re-read the whole thing , would you be able to do a summary compilation of that for us by chance?....
also holy fuck that song is fucking great lol....
and hey what do you know something happened in this new chapter again , keep this up and you might be able to finish the story before next year........
4601306
From the chapter "Nuovo Giorno"
From the chapter "Brutte Situazioni."
It will make sense in the next chapter.
4601306, oh no, I'm aware that there's more than that.
I just assumed that fear of her children growing up didn't factor in until now. I just assumed she was a mare gone completely insane.
4601423 mm k , how long till that? this was your longest chapter thus far......
4601443 ah....
4601083
As you can see, her nightmare was actually the near-opposite.
I honestly would have liked to see it though. Velvet's constantly babying Twilight finally took a toll on the both of them and then Twilight became lazy, got fatter and too dependent on Velvet. Twilight gets frustrated when she can't find her favorite book or runs out of snacks and has to yell at her mom to do everything. And because of this terrible change Night Light gets fed up with all of this and leaves because he couldn't take it anymore. Sorry for putting that image in anyone's head who reads this but, hell it could become a unique AU story.
But on an unrelated note you would think that Velvet's mentality suffers from her maybe having a pain of loss in the past. I had her in quite a mental state too (not in an extreme case) in the Vanishing Star where she was pregnant quite a lot of times only a fraction of her children survived while the others died from poor health or other problems like miscarriages. So if there are any plot twists coming up like a dead sibling that Twilight never knew about or was going to have at one point, I would be a bit intrigued but probably doesn't own up to Velvet's mentality trying to force her daughter into pooping in diapers.
4601959
That could work, but not on this story.
That's not the true reason, also because that would clash with the tone of the story.
True.
Now, the explaination is a bit more complicated, so I will give you hints.
Velvet has seen Shining and Twilight move away. Velvet realizes that she is getting pretty old, to the point she is almsot retired. Velvet doesn't liek that.
4601989 age problem huh?
4602000
Very closely related. Maybe I will explain the Whole thing in the next chapter.
4601989 i see my hunches for the story's soon to exist plot are validated then , good to know....
but also something else to question in this chapter
a trap? what now?....
4603257
Paranoia from Twilight's part.
4603271 oh , so there was nothing that could have happened with the pajamas i assume is what she was going to put on then?....
also i wonder what you would think of the idea of me posting down my suspicions on the troubles you have velvet's character embodying in this story before the next chapter gets up to see how accurate i am?.....
4606111
No, what I meant was "Twilight fears that the sleeps might contain something that might worsen her predicament."
I would not mind. Go on.
4606200 right , which in reality is nothing , so nothing could have happened if she did put them on.....
so i think i have a pretty good understanding of what's going on with your portrayal of velvet's character in this fic , cause i feel that i may share some of ideas of the troubles she is having....
i develop understandings for pretty much everything but i never try to make any predictions cause i don't have all the information and i could be wrong and such like with this case here , so this is kind of a first for me i think....
so like it was already stated by me earlier it was obvious from the beginning that velvet was having problems with the idea of getting older , or at the very least of her offspring getting older and maturing , but it seemed like she was going to be just an agent provocateur , a straight up antagonist to be able to have a story that this fic is trying to have
it wasn't until the last chapter that it became clear that daxn was going to have her develop into something more than that character wise for this fic (and it only took him 70,000 words to do it too!.....)
so based off the info from this latest chapter such as the dream scenario here's what i think is going on with velvet
so first off velvet has a fear of death , which is good shows that she's a properly evolved life form im right there with her , but it seems her hysteria has many branching factors to it....
not just afraid of dieing , but she was specifically killed , specifically by her offspring twilight , more on that later....
she is afraid of losing control of her life , which she equates to the ability for her to control the lives of those around her , whether that's a fair equation to make is up in the air as far as i am concerned , but there is still more detail to be had for this point
as far as we know equestrai is far more gender equal than our world is as a whole , so when it comes to her ability to control her husband nightlight there's not much she can do in terms of like administrative control since they would be equally classed citizens in an equal binding social patch , so any control she could exert over him he can exert over her as well , which is apparent from the deal they made for who gets to have the say how twilight gets treated having been split equally between them
but as for the parent to child relationship that seems to take more from the real world example and is more stratified in equestria than the marriage relationships
this story certainly takes that angle having velvet be able to exert total administrative control over twilight in this story , so when velvet truly felt like she was in control of her life was when she was raising twilight and shining , who has yet to make an appearance in this fic so can't say any more about him , but once they grew old enough he left to the royal guard and twilight left to celestia , they effectively took took what velvet perceived as her control over her life with them
to this i can only speculate a bunch of different percussive effects this would have had to that kind of psyche (<-well isn't that just the most bullshit spelled word in this language?....) , though before i go into that i feel the need to mention that this is far from a realistic scenario , this kind of value system disorder can only manifest from very socially deprived situations , and there are no sings or back story given to explain this , and equestria as a whole seems to be a far better society than our own in terms of this as well.....
so assuming the initial premise of velvet's character is accurate
this could make velvet fearful of change , or more specifically of the changes caused by life forms maturing , such as twilight's eventually inviable and now canon ascension into alicornhood
she could also equate her ability to control other people's lives as their need for her intervention thus giving her existence some purpose which she derives her self worth from , so when that control can't be had/is no longer needed she equates that to her self no longer being needed , or stated another way her life no longer having value
this would certainly ring true with the lines that were chosen during the nightmare scene , saying she is old and no longer needed
there were some more ideas about troubles with her role in the family and her relationships with them beyond just administrative control that i kinda have floating around but nothing much has come of it yet , so i think i'll get to showing how this explains velvet's actions now
so velvet is no longer needed by her offspring , and that doesn't sit well with her , ........mmmmm i don't like the dirrection the story takes with how the events are started , namely how celestia doesn't inform twilight's parents what's happening , it would be far more believable it velvet decided to do this drastic course of action she does in the fic only after hearing about the situation and then planning for it , but as far as the fic is concerned it seems she was off the loopy end about this for a long time before this fic takes place
anyways so yeah she doesn't like that change so she opts to keep a memorial to that time period alive in the form of child twilight's room
then twilight is reintroduced to the scenario with the fic's given scenario and velvet jumps all over that opportunity to re-establish some control in her life by trying to control twilight's by making her , or at least treating her like she's dependent on velvet to function thus making velvet's existence have meaning again , or something like that....
again there's other subtleties about her role as a mother figure in this scenario which seem like they would be important but i can't quite figure out what they are just yet......
so yeah there you have it , man this psychology stuff can just bullshit itself forever can't it?....
so what do you think dom? am i correct or off or does velvet still not have a character in this story? also what what point in the making of this story did you decide whatever your answer is?....
at least it's not as big at ittykitty's post......

Meh, sounds reasonable. But that's not completely correct.
I chose my answer while writing "Afternoon in Purple."
4608329 danmit , and i put so much thought into that too....
but if you did only decide since last chapter then that would explain what my premises aren't correct.....
i wonder if you'll get notified of an edit to a comment....
so does velvet's character have more to do with that family relations stuff i was mentioning then?.....
Um... After that last scene before the dream... I lost that hating velvet feeling, which as enforced by the dream.
Also, twilight, you just saw yourself KILL your own mother and you don't even bat an eye? I know she's been putting you through torture, but seriously?
Also, since velvet started acting less... well, creepy, I don't feel like she deserves so much malice towards her. At least not as much as before, anyway.

It is diffuIcult for Twilight to feel sorry for her mother. Also, sweet, sweet revenge.
There is aspecific reason for why she acts like that. It' s not mercy.
Twilight dun fucked up on the dream choice lol
I do still have a problem with how you portray Pinkie Pie. Pinkie Pie is a very selfless mare so she would never risk Twilight's future for her own indulgent.
