We write stuff, and sometimes we post it.

E

Princess Celestia has gazed into the fiery pits of Tartarus itself, gone hoof-to-hoof with gods and demons. She is the embodiment of light, slayer of all shadows, and fears nothing.

So what happens when she finds something she does, indeed, fear?

i say she deserves it on some levels

This is really good, sort of depressing, but it shows a side of celestia which we've only seen an inkling of before.

Hmm. I have been looking for a way to induce a guilt trip like the one described here.
Mind if I may use this chapter as a heavy reference? I have a chapter that has been sitting on the back burner for over a year now, and
this story has helped a little in giving me an idea as to how I can pace my own chapter likewise.

So is this showing Celestia her greatest fear and it hits a little too close to home or is the mirror different than the one in the ep?

5040306 The doorway shows ponies their worst fears. It showed Celestia a mirror with a distorted reflection, and it was in charge of her actions until she was snapped out of it by Cadance.

5039927 Go right ahead, you don't even need to ask.

5041158 Actually, now that I am on it, would you might giving some advice as a co-contributor? Perhaps provide some commentary on parts where you think I could improve upon?

If you want, I can PM you a draft of the story. Or rather, bits and pieces of it, as I currently have no "completed" chapters as of yet.

5045928 sure, I'll take a look at it when I can if you wanna send some snippets

5046028 Can do.
Expect them shortly.

Hmm. This was interesting. Not sure if I'd call it good, but it was definitely interesting.

5055289 That's about par for the course with my stories. May be interesting, definitely won't be good.

Congrats on the feature! Definitely worthy

mind of a corrupted and Capnomantic king.

that's not a word. And the word Capnometry is the measuring of pressure of Carbon Dioxide. And Caponometer is for the measuring of Carbon Dioxide. I rather doubt King Sombra was either of those two.

There were two things. One you used the word "banishing" but you have it capitalized. Part of me wants to say that needs to be lower cased, but since the banishing. was a historic event .... don't know. And in one sentence you have the word "auntie" lower cased but in a few others they are caped. So you might want to fix that.

I'm left after reading this mostly indifferent. I don't dislike it enough to down vote it, nor like it enough to upvote. I feel it lacks a certian je na sais quio, a certain degree of substance to really be impacting. As is it feels empty.

I'm afraid this didn't work for me as well as it could have. It was too... on the nose? That'll do. The emotion was strangled out of it by telly phrases and saidisms, run-on sentences and comma splices. Don't get me wrong, the idea is great, but I'm sorry to say it all felt forced to me.

Link to the original cover art if you don't mind?

Im inclined to agree myself. Indeed the ending. What I hoped for was not recounciling of sorrows. But, a larger acknowledgement of deeds done. The intended and the not

For she is selfish. This could have been taken and made a beautiful flawed character.

What is not beautiful that faces the consqueces for their actions? To be honest this reminds me of your own fic. That tackled this same topic. Ounce again forgeting. That these are peoples lives.

But, the author for me accomplished that. The idea of ending it in this perfect family moment. After life times of decisions?

Where are the consquences? The meaning? Forgiviness is all well and good. But, what of forgetting? Doom ones self to thinking that after all the crap you can just forgive. I say forgiveness can be just as much trap for those weaker then you to believe that you are benevolent and they want you to forget your abuse. And never ever ever bring it up again? You see the trap of forgiveness it allows history to die. For the sake of feeling good against active injustice? You know?

Like winning a war against slavery, perhaps?

Because forgiveness is just as much damnation as it is to heal. I believe it so. The road to hell is paved with good intentions? What of racism itself should not be bothered to confront because? Reasons? You see how insidous that is and does?

A example:

Look, this boy he did bad so now lets forgive him.

Even when he molested a woman or man. Hell, it could be woman abusing a woman. He/she after all has a future. Can you guess? What this and your own story make me feel? About this topic?

It tells me if someone just asks for forgiveness I should give it.

What of the people who suffering consquence far out lasting their ability to cope. To truely never heal. To not be changed by anothers sins. But, wait you feel good about your self and. Oh?

Your sorry? Really cute.

Because as this and your own fiction said. Forgive me I dont remember the name.

Those weaker have no power and should just naturally accept the way things are.Their ancestors just happened to pave the way against the world that they now live.

Or the fact that her actions warped the minds of thousands? Sure forgiveness. That we never know how much she has changed the world for the worse and better. I mean this in all those little ways that loom rather large, indeed.


I know this rather old comment. But, it struck me as aggreable. I could not naturally forget your well written story about the same topic. Was this inspiration?

Thank you and have a kind day!

Further I am open to critcism though. I will naturally not change about the way yours and this make me feel. When one has had family forever altered by single events. That loom large ever more in lives made dimmer because of it.

I am willing to listen. I am rather curious.

Perhaps, you have heard a show called Bojack Horseman?

It tackles some of these themes rather well. Though I ironically find it hard watch the show.

Ps. I love your orginal silent hill story. The imagery was haunting.
