Got to say that was a very satisfying defeat for Celestia here. Having her power stripped and her mind fixed to realize all of the horrible things she's done was truly the best way to end her reign and deliver her punishment. I actually got goosebumps when I read that part. It actually felt pretty poetic in a sense. And I'm looking forward to how things will come to an end.
okay i called this
hopefully celestia pulls something out and fixes all of this... maybe

I've always thought that the worst punishment any serial killer could be given, would be if we could somehow fix their brain so they could look back on what they did with a conscious. That's why I specifically made the reason for her insanity something that could be fixed.
Too bad about Twilight though. I was actually going to let her live, but the last kill poll said she should die. In hindsight that might not have been fair, since people voted without knowing she would be (largely) fixed. But tragedy is still fun, so it's okay
Okay... this? this is why I think of this story as a comedy. I started giggling the moment I read Past!Light hit a foal in the face with the cart piece, and I didn't stop laughing until the gambit roulette was over. nicely done on that, by the way. it started sounding like a rpg gameplay thing; ridiculous, but awesome. i'm going to stop predicting stuff and handing out ideas, because its obvious you have your own plan. I just hope it has a happy-ish ending.

Issei Sagawa murdered a woman, had sex with the corpse, ate part of the corpse, and then went on to write about the murder and write about other murders and such a few times. Krystian Bala murdered man and wrote a book about a murder that mimicked the details of the murder(and was writing another book that would have followed the playbook of another planned murder). Richard Klinkhamer wrote a book on how to murder his wife after he murdered her. Those were off a five minute Google search.
None are serial killers(and Sagawa sold his story as truth rather than fiction), of course, but that's splitting hairs a bit. You'd be amazed at how egotistical a murderer can be and how much they'd want to put it out there.

Well it's not splitting hairs, as I specified that I meant fiction. Those were either non-fiction or based precisely on an actual event. They weren't creative literary works.
Maybe you misunderstood my original statement. I said that no serial killer has been a horror fiction writer, as in no one that was a horror author has been found to be a serial killer. There is a chronological order implied there, since obviously you can't blame things written after their capture for what they did. I am saying that being a horror writer does not contribute to being a serial killer, not that serial killers don't do the extremely obvious thing and capitalize on their infamy. Even then, I don't see a non-fiction example there.
When I said I found a children's book author, I obviously meant one that had published stories at the time of capture, which is exactly what I meant when I said horror fiction writer.
That whole thing about contingencies on contingencies? Sunset's reaction was my literal reaction. I wonder what's going to happen to Starlight when Cryssi learns what happened to poor Flurry.
EDIT: It also occurs to me that Sonata is the single most powerful creature on the planet. She was able to manipulate Twilight's thoughts enough to turn her against Celestia. Admittedly, that probably took like 3 weeks, but the point is that unless I'm mistaken, Twilight was an alicorn. That would logically mean that she could ensnare Celestia, Sunset and even Starlight. She could probably also control the entirety of the changeling hive since she has access to Chryssi's mind and through her access to the entire hive.
Why...am I...Getting Bill & Ted vibes...?
7894092 The latter two I mentioned did indeed try to sell their stories as fiction(And Bala succeeded in doing so before he was captured or even being investigated). Bala and Klinkhamer certainly weren't trying to exploit any fame since no one knew they had done it. They may have been basing it off of real life events, but they both threw plenty of fiction into their writing as well. Horror writing doesn't implicate a killer, obviously, but it has happened before that a killer just wrote about their hits before they were caught just to rub it in the faces of other people(or relive it, whichever). There's also Vlado Taneski, who wasn't writing horror, but did write journalistic articles about the people he murdered and published them in the paper.
Most killers however don't seem to do this, even the writer ones. I was just finding the exceptions.

That's interesting then, even if based on reality. I suppose many stories do claim to be based on a true story (even if that is almost always a gross exaggeration). I'll want to read up on them. And I guess that makes sense that they might do stories as a sick inside joke with themself.
it sucks that twilight died

Wait, since Sunset has all of her power now, shouldn't she be able to resurrect her?
7894436 You might have missed where it explained, but the bundle of tormented souls that Celestia draws power from is so intermingled that no single soul can be pulled out and freed. As soon as Twilight's soul was added to it, it was shredded into tiny bits as well, so there's no pulling her out.
7894508 But didn't Celestia have a way to revive ponies using the souls' imprint from when they died (or their memories on death, something like that)? I figure that Sunset would be able to reconstruct Twilight at least, given a bit of time sorting out memories and an approximation of what she was like from the moment of death.

She made a gross approximation of their mind from what she knew of them and imprinted it into a corpse. The energy that made them animate wasn't actually their own soul energy and they weren't conscious. They were more like wind-up toys.
The followers of Mother appeared to pull part of her soul out through their complicated rituals (not that any of them survived Canterlot to share those). In the end though even Mother turned out to be an imprint of what the followers saw Mother as. She was a highly intelligent imprint, but even she knew that she wasn't the real thing.
Like I said, I was going to let her live, but she was very high on the kill poll, so I'm not going to undo it.
In what chapter did that happen?
One thing that is baffling and cruel in a way, was that Chrysalis was smiling when she "cured" Celestia.She knew she was the one that made Celestia insane, she knew she was innocent in a way, yet she was still happy at Celestia's despair.Why?I think it would've been better if Chrysalis showed remorse...

Really liked this chapter. Glad to see the twilight character arc come to a nice conclusion.

She's lucky to even get a character arc in this story.
