Are psychopaths born or made? When the CMC discovers one among themselves, they are forced to choose between turning the killer in, or going to jail as accomplices. The road to hell is paved with good intentions.
I think Babs has a dissocial personality disorder. ICD10 traits of it are:
Callous unconcern for the feelings of others;
“Taffy says you’re bullying her again. She said you’ve taken her lunch money for over a month, and threatened to—” he cleared his throat, “—’fuck her up’ if she snitched.”
Gross and persistent attitude of irresponsibility and disregard for social norms, rules, and obligations;
She flicked her tail to an indecent position, making the principle grimace.
“‘Sup old man?” Babs asked.
Incapacity to maintain enduring relationships, though having no difficulty in establishing them; Well, other CMC are her friends, but maybe this relationship lasts because the rarely see each other. Who knows.
Very low tolerance to frustration and a low threshold for discharge of aggression, including violence; Three fights, arson, murder, jaywalking...
Incapacity to experience guilt or to profit from experience, particularly punishment; Just as the above.
Marked readiness to blame others or to offer plausible rationalizations for the behavior that has brought the person into conflict with society.
“Hah! You know they bully me. I had to go to Ponyville to cool off, remember? I’m the victim here. She’s just mad because I keep askin’ her to give me back all the money they stole from me.”
you always have a well-thought out excuse how it isn’t your fault
Actually, with parents like these, I'm not surprised. And Scootaloo... Dunno, some mood disorder?
3422000 This is my take and should make their apparent 'flaws' more easy to identify:
Yeah, Babs is one step further than anti-social personality disorder (formerly Sociopath.) She is the psychopath, going further then that behavior to add the trademark lack of empathy / emotion and belief she is superior, stronger than her father and disgusted by her mother.
Apple Bloom will develop more as she shucks responsibility and tries to "cope", socializing less and less.
Scootaloo's identity has always been tied to Dash. #1 fan, teach me to fly, throwing her trash away... her disorder is simpler but just as threatening as her entire identity relies on Dash.
Sweetie has always been at odds with Rarity. Sabotaging breakfast (who is that bad?) Stealing her gems / gold cloak to use for projects (what better way to make her feel guilty, steal gems and make an I love you poster?) shrinking her sweater, cleaning her 'inspiration' room... I see her as incredibly manipulative and passive agressive, able to take out all the frustration on Rarity for being a "poor sister" because Sweetie's parents are always ignoring her, forcing her to basically live with her sister.
Anyway, this is my take and should make their apparent 'flaws' more easy to identify:
3422163 What BronyWriter said; Kaidan was correct in using "principal". Principal is the headmaster of a school, principle can be a moral or the source or basis of something.
3422291 On Halloween. OOooOOooOOooohhhh. (pretty sure my editors are free tomorrow to make it so!)
3422248 Indeed, it is the 'intro' so I can't really drive home key aspects over several chapters... but one must wonder, if the intro is this depressing, how sad will the story itself be?
Case in point: People who said Puppet to her Fame couldn't get any more "tragic" after my intro hook.
Can't read it now, but I love you already
Just took you what, six full months to bring to reality?
Once I'm done with my stuff I will chill down, and read this story exactly the same way I read Puppet. Nostalgia and stuff.

Beautiful little passive agressive is more like it.

It is worth the wait.

But google says that's right... O.o I do have a knack for screwing up though.
3422092 Pretty sure it is right.
Great story so far! You'd better update this frequently! If you do, I'll get my TD horror fic out by Halloween.
3422145
Nice! Finally I have my own serial killer fic, endorsed by Killer Rarityverse guru BW himself.
3422092 principal and principle are both words, but with different meanings.
3422163 Principal is like the head of the school. Principle is like a moral.
this story is darker than Ethiopians covered in tar.
And I loved ever word of it!
3421779
You were the other dude with me watching Kaidan's stream of King's Landing the other night!
3422206>>3422192
Speaking of streams, dudes, and dark Ethiopian tar, I was just about to play a little Path of Exile

Consider me there.
3422206
yes I was
I LOVE THIS STORY. I love the evil CMC and i love Sweetie the most. She's like my evil devil part. I-I-I just love it.S when comes the part 3.
And yes psycho killers are made. LOL

What BronyWriter said; Kaidan was correct in using "principal". Principal is the headmaster of a school, principle can be a moral or the source or basis of something.

reading this chapter makes me worry about my own mental state
This could only end horribly. And by horribly I mean FREAKING AWESOME!

3422372 I actually corrected his statement. He was wrong. Also, I'm aware of the definitions of 'principal' and 'principle'.
Woohoo! A fic that has the premise to rival Puppet! Friendship may be Magic; but this Plotline shall be Tragic.
whooooot!
CMC killers? Have all my love
Will Scootaloo kill wearing a rainbow wig? And will Sweetie get her own basement? I can't wait to find out
ohmygod this is fantastic!!
Babs is... well, that's obvious.
Apple Bloom gets over-attatched to things...?
Scootaloo is scared of being abandoned
and Sweetie is a sociopath.
Okay, let me be honest
I didnt read that much into AB's part.
I can't believe I wanted so much for you to post this story and it took me so long to finally read it. This is an amazing start.

I really wish people would stop rhyming those two words :P It's the easy way out of a lot of potential...
