NOW IT CHOOSES TO WORK?!?!
Bravo, FiMFiction, bravo.
To reiterate my other comment:
Train of Consequences you say?
Hmm...problem seems to have been fixed now. Chapter is viewable and thus readable.
Sidenote: Very curious as to where you go with this.
GAH I hate the new layout it doesn't say if a story is complete!
(if it does can you tell me where)
5114472 Top right corner of the story's main page.
They've, perhaps?
Methinks Dashie likes what she sees!
5114478 Danke schern.
5114479
People talk like that.
Hey, it works and it stops working and then it works again. I hope this message makes it.
Yay! Sunset Shimmer is awesome! ...and hot

Pina's Birthday and Sunset Shimmer....this can only end in tears. Tears of Joy.
Most interesting chapter.
5114572
Sunset will appear after the Griffon Diplomacy Arc.
they set themselves against miss cosmic patns then? though how would they get to sunset shimmer?
........ I kinda question the idea that any of the alicorns could surpass rainbow's speed though. they may have power but they do nto have specialization. specialization can help in makin gup for a lack of power easily.
guessing in rpg terms though I guess. a balanced character is not as strong in all fields after all.
5114623
Augmentation. Practical self augmentation. Enchantments done upon the physical body to increase strength, ability, endurance, physical resistance, etc.
We've already seen the Twilight Sparkle-boom and she doesn't even work out. She can easily break the sound barrier.
5114632 ......that was a pulse of energy, not her breaking the sound barrier........ its kinda obvious it was a pulse of energy.
5114623 Make up for a gap of power yes, skill can do that. However, the remember the size of the gap of power from a grown Alicorn who can throw celestial bodies around the sky with their mind, to a pegasus who can manipulate a cloud. The she enormity of the power gap is uncrossable. They are considered Goddesses for a reason.
5114645
Plus, as an alicorn, they would have earth pony strength and endurance to go with their pegasus attributes.
Which means super jacked up pegasus abilities without any drawbacks.
5114632 ....... not sure if it is true here, but isn't Pegasus flight also one part manipulation of wind? like what they did in the breezies episode.
one could easily say that starswhirl the bearded was a better magician than celestia or luna, though was ultimately limited in energy. in a sense that would mean wing strength is only one half of the whole situation. rainbow dash is so fast cause she is extremely skilled at manipulating wind...... probably why she is also head of the weather team too.
...... and twilight created a pulse of energy to create a show. think the writers of the show also stated this.
5114672
Luna: hundreds of years of skill building vs Rainbow Dash who is still a teenager in the Chase Verse.
Oh lord....I do believe Bucky's alter ego has had a breakdown...
The opossum....I sense a reference, but I cannot place it...>.<
Everyone makes mistakes. How you chose to respond to your mistakes- denying them and insisting you are right, or accepting the fact that you goofed and learning from it- makes you who you are and decides how others will treat you.
Unfortunately, some people have their head so far up ther own ass, they have replaced their belly with a windshield....
But that's neither here nor there....
Poor Dash...Hopes and dreams crushed by Luna....
5114682
Luna has a pet possum in the comics. Her pwecious Twibbles.
5114680 ..... would she better at fire magic than rising star despite him being so young?
5114693
Potentially, yes.
5114480
Donkey shorts? Did you warn the new nanny?
I'm pretty unhappy with Luna for rubbing the fact that Dash's greatest accomplishment in speed is trivial to her in Dash's face, especially given that she can invade Dash's dreams, and thus knows how important it is to Dash. But, destroying dreams and breaking the pride of everyone else seems to be Luna's business. Not her fault the universe didn't give them superpowers, immortality, and importance. They need to cope with their helplessness and uselessness.
Don't worry Dash! You'll never amount to anything, so... just keep doing what you're doing, I guess! Just don't get any ideas about actually being historically comparatively excellent, because you're not.
I get too worked up about stuff like this, especially (and unusually) when it comes to alicorns. It's not like what Luna said isn't true. And Dash shouldn't be unrealistic and think she's actually going to outspeed a goddess, who was given superpowers. That would be a terrible case of delusion. And it's not like Rainbow Dash wasn't basically born better than other pegasi and that's why she can do what she does. But it's still this horrible feel-bad scenario where she (and really every other mortal anything) is doomed to be unimportant and to have her amazingly superlative feat become meaningless through no fault of her own. Long-term rememberance of her for this accomplishment is denied, despite the fact that it is a genuinely super amazing feat that required her utmost dedication (even if she's young), because the princesses negate the significance of her accomplishment by existing.
5114694 definitely don't feel right on that. just don't go kryptonian on us here and have them basically somehow maxed out on all attributes like an obsessive compulsive dealing with gridning a Skyrim character.
5114586
Sweet. I can hardly wait.
5114741 no luna shouldn't have anyway.
also considering she is a lot better with loyalty than luna is kinda a balancing point here. did the elements luna wield tturn into moonshapes? no? thought so. also considering without her luna would have doomed the world...... yeah.
do not like the idea that the alicorns are basically perfect myself. or at least that they could easily surpass the best of the best without effort. there has to be a limit somewhere in this. strong than average but not immune to specialization. one cannot just make yourself stronger, you need to know how to use that strength. just cause you made yourself stronger than another man does not mean you are better than him because you are still lifting with your back and he is lifting with his legs.
Sunset Shimmer returns! (maybe) What could she teach Bucky? What is her magic proficiency?
What with the changelings believed to be cursed accordingn to Bucky, I think Chrysalis is also in the mix. I also think she is extremely dangerous and won't come back without one hell of a fight. If what I'm reading into is correct...
5114039
See, already mentioned. Thus why I felt stupid for asking.
5114694 well here is another question. does dash have the potential to become faster than luna considering she is still young and unpracticed and likely has yet to reach her maximum potential?
or at least it turns out in order to surpass dash's speed she has to consume far more energy to make up for a lack of specialization? like someone building up enough strength to lift more than another guy using your back only, though the other guy is lifting with his legs?
It would seem Bucky managed to become even more of a horny pervert when his mind snapped from the strain.
Site is still a mess for me....
Kudzu, you´ll LOVE this: i just got a 502 error (Bad Getaway...too much traffic) and the site showed Derpy through a hole in the wall !!!! Even the sites errors loves Derpy !!!!!
5114834
Dash and Luna get into a competition to see who can train the hardest and fly the fastest. They start out as equals somehow. Nevermind how.
Ten years from this point in the story: Dash is now 29 and Luna is still immortal. Dash has had one foal, and it took forever to recover from it, and rainbooms take effort. Luna has edged ahead. No magic use even.
Twenty years from now. Dash is 39. She is getting the beginning of arthritis in her wings from the strain on her body. She can rainboom, but it hurts now, and takes a lot of effort. She's also had a few more foals. Luna is still in peak physical condition and only getting better. Luna can't even have foals, freeing her up for a lifetime of self improvement.
One hundred years from now. Dash is dead. She can't rainboom. Luna is still getting progressively better and is now challenging Dash's foals and grandfoals, none of which have a chance of catching up with her.
So, what is the lesson here?
5115025 ........ how can she get better at it? while magic might have a less distinct upper limit, physicality has a distinct one. even if she is at the top of physical shape and does not age, her physical capaiblities have a distinct limit. enhancing yourself is not gonna help at all if there is no way to grow anymore. there is only so much you can tone muscle and toughen bone. and even then you could not surpass someone who has a specialized physiology towards something unless you completely altered your body towards the specialization.
at this point only skill can be improved. I can believe luna is far more skilled than rainbow dash, but not that she is outright faster if she is physically made for balance over specialization.
eventually rainbow dash would age and die but until her body gives out she would probably be far faster than luna because she is a Pegasus born for speed and flight and luna is an alicorn with the attributes of all three races giving her power but robing her of specialization. she is more powerful than rainbow dash cause she spreads into several fields of potential but she would not be better than her in the field rainbow dash specializes.
besides luna would have no need to train her body to that point anyway. she has teleportation, least three kinds.
5115025 put simply even someone like bruce lee could not beat an Olympic sprinter in a race despite that mans' balance in physicaliy, movement, and speed.
You mentioned Vampires a chapter or two ago. Please expand on this, if that's possible.
I wonder what Bucky would look like doing the Happy Hamster Hop. Might be cute.
5114741
When somepony brags or boasts, Luna is the sort that takes them down a notch. It is an INTJ thing. Think about what we've seen of Luna in the show and her adventures in the dreamscape. Specifically, Scootaloo. Bragging and boasting come from feelings of inadequacy, and little Scoots had to face her fears.
She is simply taking Rainbow Dash to task for announcing how awesome she is.
But yes, this is one of the reasons why it is claimed that INTJs have trouble making friends.
Keep in mind, INTJs do have a thing about loyalty though.
5115251
So I need to swing the whole story perspective the Badlands and the vampires...
Not sure about this.
Sounds like a lot of work.
5114773
More like what can Bucky teach her.
She's a type three. Pyromancer. High functioning type three.
5115814
That's a dangerous warning sign.
5115738 problem is it would not be hard for rainbow dash to be utterly crushed by that statement. when face with a seemingly insurmountable obstacle rainbow dash has been known to just give up and or run away. and you basically made alicorns insurmountable in this story.
there is trimming pride and then there is callously destroying someone's dream and sense of self. luna dipped dangerously into that territory.
besides, still not convince the whole far faster than any pony thing is a good idea for alicorns to have. they already have a massive advantage being a triple hybrid of the species and there magic as it is. them having feature superior to even the best of the best of pony kind is unnecessary cause even then they have two other factors to give them an advantage. they do not need to be as fast as rainbow dash, they have magic to teleport them and the endurance ot earth ponies to allow them to fly much longer than rainbow dash even if they cannot match that speed.
making them so perfect that even ponies of exceptional talent are worthless compared to them is going a bit far. as i said, they have two advantages to rainbow dash's one here. not to mention it robs the mane six of significance if their talents are so easily tossed aside like that.
5115885
Mane six still has something that the alicorns do not have.
Toyetic presence. They sell a lot more toys than the alicorn princesses do.
5115918 that really isn't funny dude. at all.
not to mention if it means they could have traveled to the isles in mere hours it remove all excuse or reasoning of why they did not just go there themselves if they are so fast. they could have been there and back before any significant incidents popped up.
5115929
Fine. You're right. I give up. I'll just go back to writing.
**hangs head and walks away with sad piano music from the Incredible Hulk playing in the background**
5115935 just saying that there are a lot of risks of it creating plots holes since it appears they always had this speed but never used it before. and of making characters insignificant.
5115929
Actually, no. There were other things to take care of.
Good leadership means delegating tasks to those most capable and then trusting them to do those tasks.
Grimglammer is a better medical doctor that Luna, surprisingly enough.
Crazy toys in the attic I am crazy
Truly gone fishing
They must have taken my marbles away
Crazy toys in the attic he is crazy
5115957 You´re right. It´s just the same case with Superman. Being almost all-powerfull, things like saving cats from trees are entirely upon him, since he can do it better. Let those nuclear terrorists for later....
