That ending spooked the hell out of me. I mean damn scorch !!
This is why the world suffers.
Secrets and lies and "cunning plans" and what else.
Jeepers, most of the problems they face are of their own creation.
Still, it's good to see that at least some of the immortals are finally getting it right.
The draconequs of war is a good idea, just to laugh to the creator. I can imagine Scorch... .l. take that I took your weapon and changed it.
7017362
Awful for Bucky though... he'd hate it.
Who did Scorch overthrow again? Or was it ever mentioned?
7017384
I think it is implied he is the Usurper because he wants to take Cosmicorn off his throne and put his daughter upon it.
7017384
Wasn't mentioned, but Scorch offered to help from the very beginning, should the Fates ever decide to go to war against their creator.
OK, shit just got real. That is all.
7017366 Really? I could think Scorch could very much let him do what he want except when he need it, after all if Scorch do something Bucky really hate and Celestia learn it, she could disagree with Scorch something he could not want.

Read the chapter and pay close attention...
He doesn't like killing. He doesn't want to be War in any form. Period. It would be torture for him.
Edit: there is also the awful element of immortality that comes with being a draconequus. Bucky would watch Derpy grow old and die. All of the others as well.
Gah...ugh..wh...
*all brain functions overloaded...keyboard not detected...please, hit enter to reboot*
YOU FUCKING FUCK OF ALL FUCKERS !!!! Scorch, The Usurper !!! When I saw his name in the previous chapters I though "oh...usurper ? How odd...donĀ“t remember that one...must be something that I forgot along the way...". No, you were hintting this scene !!!!!! Son of a...so much ties up now !!! So much makes sense ! IĀ“m equally pleased and annoyed, you keep playing us !!!!
Too bad for you. I demand more !

This chapter made me questions everything we know about Uncle Scorch. He was there to take the surviving Alicorn's when God gave up on the world. But what hand did he play when the hosts of Tartarus had their way with the Alicorns. Is he the benevolent figure set on fixing a broken world. Or is he the pyromaniac who set his house on fire and is trying to pick up the pecies.

Without revealing too much, Scorch is one of the good guys. He went dormant for a while, as we can see in the story, but has his fire reignited. He was there at the very beginning, when the rebellion started, and promised to help should the Fates turn against their Creator.
Now, Scorch is playing his own game, with the end result to put Celestia in power. There are many who do not agree with him.
It was Scorch who first suggested to the Fates that the Creator needed to be killed, hence the title, Scorch the Usurper.

I see, I guess the concept of good in this instance isn't subjective. And here I thought the evils would have motives beyond wonton destruction. It's just sad for me that God as an antagonist has shallow petty motives and just simply needs to be "put down". Maybe that's why I'm projecting more into it than is presented.
7017558
Story isn't done yet.
Moonbow as Death?
Sentinel would have an issue with that.
So would DT.
I miss Chrysalis, er, Posey. She had sass.
Anyone want to do a protest to bring her back? We might have to burn down a city or three in three process.
7017584 You must admit...it would be the sweteest thing ever if, when the times come, Moonbow is the one responsible to harvest SentinelĀ“s soul.
7017618
There would be a pounce, followed by an apology.
Hmmm...just had a thought...Derpy had unprotected sex with Bucky before he went off to war.
Posey reborn as his daughter?
Seems to be the trendy thing!
7017266 I think you are overlooking the clues. His pettiness, his cruelty, his manipulation, his inability to adapt to the fact that there is a chance the creation HE let break, could be repaired. These are all signs of a mindset all too humans, with far too much power.
He laughed to mock him, as he was 'still fufilling his destiny'. Thing is though, Cosmic pants is the one that let them in through the back door once he realized things weren't going his way. HE used them to try and further the destruction of the world.
So Bucky did not bring war to another world. Because it was cosmic pants that brought the mirror walkers to their world to begin with. The one who is War in this scenario is not bucky, its Cosmic pants.
Every new bit of information we get about him makes him earn my derogatory moniker for him even more XP
Though with the warp, there is two issues. For starters, the warp is and outside force to his universe. He could cause a portal to collapse but but affecting inside of the warp would be stretching his powers, much like the fates affecting the fate of an outside world.
Then there is the fact it is the kind of chaos that is an actual threat to him in there. An extreme as extreme as he is.
7017873
Some of these details are already in the story...
7017873 It was stated that The Fates can have foals, and actually they do that quite frequently...they just donĀ“t have time to raise the foals in a proper way...
Sooo.... About Scorch. Even though he's evil (and I use this in the loosest form), he's an essential evil.
7017972
He's not evil at all.
Why do you think he is evil?
7018004 I meant in the way that he'd go to extremes to get what he wants and do what's right in the EXTREME sense to ensure that everything exists. In that sense that he's "evil".
Perhaps it's my bias but I always imagined Ash Tanto to be higher on the cosmic food chain.
I get that Scorch is a puppet master responsible for unimaginable amounts of power but I somehow saw him as something greater than his portrayal at the end of his Cycle.
This was an interesting bit of insight into Scorch and his motivations...
7017558
He's not that shallow. He's essentially a scientist. People feel angry with Galaxia/Cosmicorn/Creator because of their perspective. The perspective of the tiny, insignificant mortals we all would be to such a being. We're so spoiled with the idea that a grand creator-of-all-things personally cares about and notices each and every one of us out of pure hubris that when confronted with the idea of a proper immortal, cosmic being who takes only passing notice in our existence is OFFENSIVE.
"What, you don't care about us mortals down here working hard to live? You must be evil! You don't care if we live or die? Evil!" Because no one tries looking at it from the proper perspective. It's not a human looking at a favored puppy. It's a human with a microscope studying paramecia, swapping from petri dish to petri dish looking for something new or interesting. Meanwhile they're making coffee in a mug so large we couldn't comprehend it as the size of our own galaxy or larger.
Do any of us pay attention to the microorganisms we step on or clean off of ourselves each day? Do we care? No. We are as gods amongst gods to them. They are so far beneath our notice that they don't matter. We tell ourselves "these things are not intelligent, so it's okay, they don't do anything of note, so it's not sane to worry about". Which, relative to such a being, all mortals essentially fall into this same category. We're gone in less than an eyeblink unless they spend time to focus on us, to match their perception of time to ours. And they'd only bother doing this for their own gain, not our benefit.
Cosmicorn is looking for Answers. Threads to existence, as near as I can tell. Since even he was an earth pony once - perhaps even from the original race of ponies - the 'real' ones, and he just made this batch here in Equestria as a copy for his experiment.
But naturally, humanity (and apparently equinity) harbors severe mistrust and anger towards anyone or anything that doesn't share their ideals and what they place importance upon. That goes for others like themselves, and judging from the reactions I've seen in many stories, even beings who are above them. Especially then, because they also dislike the idea of something so much greater than they ever could be. Part of why Celestia gets so much hate in this fandom because she's not as much of an everyman as Luna. People don't want to root for immaculate gods, they want immortals who are basically just like everyone else. To drag down the impossible to their level so they can be at ease with the concept.
It's extremely frustrating as a deific-character enthusiast. So I kind of understand where you're coming from.
So that's it. They don't plan to reform the Creator/Balincecorn/lord Asshat. They plan to replace him.
7017653 lol that would be something n.n
It's all secrets and lies with these Immortals! Secrets and lies!!

What is wrong with Shining Star, Rising Star's mother?
*slow inhale through nose* and I too overlooked the "upsurer" part of his name. All powers, good or bad, are both good and bad. *Tsk Tsk* you keep us on our tows kudz, good fucking job.
And that is a big end game reveal. Is the funeral for Celestial now (Joking, no one yell at me.)
Does this ever end?!
Scorch the Usurper...

7019546 There's definitely some issues I take with this. Starting from the last point: A big problem with Celestia is NOT just that she's NOT approachable, that she's not the "everyman" type of Pony like Luna is. A great example is Equestria Girls #1 "Soon you will know more about this world (human world) than I do". Yet what exactly is it that she tells Twilight to give her ANY sort of advantage over Sunset Shimmer? NOTHING! What does she do to help Twilight get acclimated to the human world better by telling her important details...like oh say no Horn & Magic? Like being biped? Literally NOTHING. This isn't the first time that Celestia has done some pretty dumb things. Like sending Twilight & company after a DRAGON of all things, and that is WITHOUT the Elements of Harmony!
Another is that just because you have an infinite life and are far above creatures, does not mean that you care so little for them. Take for example Q from Star Trek who Discord is modeled after. Not only that, but in terms of Bacteria, Viruses, etc. there's a lot more of a difference. None of them have any distinct personalities. I mean people care for FISH and are saddened to see them die, when taken on as their pets.
Also keep in mind that Power was the one that caused the Celestial Decay in the first place. He was forewarned about Chaos causing Evil & Corruption, but he was blinded by his PRIDE. So rather than work to fix things, it's easier for him to just destroy everything, pretend the events never happened, and start all over again with a blank slate. Fact of the matter is, rather than try to fix things Power just wants to reboot, damn all the consequences. I mean just look at everything that the Immortals, Bucky, Celestia, Luna, and Twilight have managed to accomplish. They have done a FANTASTIC job of setting up a better future. Yet somehow, some way, you mean to tell me that Power wouldn't have been able to do an even BETTER job, ESPECIALLY when working with the others?!
No. This is Power with his damnable pride. This is his unwillingness to confront and properly correct his own mistakes. This isn't the Apathy, because he clearly still cares, just in the wrong way, and for the wrong reasons.
7026436 Frank Muller, maybe... he did a very good job of narrating The Great Gatsby
oh fuck
