Chapter 17


Hi I'm Chapter 17 and everything I touch inevitably turns grimdark! :D

T

On the day before the longest day of the thousandth year after the banishing of the younger royal sister of legend, a gifted student goes on a reading binge in a desperate attempt to not go batshit crazy from boredom during the summer break of which so many of the lesser ponies are so fond. In her unwavering diligence that is quite likely to simply be the outward symptoms of an inner superiority complex, she stumbles upon a terrifying forgotten bit of lore that may foretell the end of her very world! But will her warnings be heeded?

No. Pretty much no.

Also that initial hook gets used up two episodes in, then she gets to slowly learn to not be a total bitch to everypony else.

This is a parody series based on the episode blogs on my Tumblr, only de-scriptified in order to fit with fimfiction's policies, and now we'll be doing the whole series episode by episode, with chapter length varying from episode to episode according to how much content is worth commenting on while still maintaining a semblance of a self contained story. References will be made shamelessly, years old fandom jokes will be resurrected as terrifying husks of their former selves, continuity shall be stuck to with no guaranteed consistency, and author head canons will run rampant in this...uh...story that everyone's already seen before...

...

Yaaaaaaaay!

Now this is the kind of comedy I like!

Nice job, keep it up. Calling it a commentary is kind of laughable, though.

That was the original intent of the episode blogs but they sidetracked into this after a while, so yeah, I suppose calling it a commentary anymore is a bit of an outright falsehood at this point. It has been changed accordingly.

Nicely done that first chapter definitely grabbed my interest and got a few chuckles, I look forward to seeing how long you can drag this Friendship is Witchcraft type idea out.

Oh interesting, I'm very surprised by how you managed to somehow make Ubermarensch Twilight into a likable pony and the legitimate use of The Elements of Harmony at the end there (even if the reasoning behind why they represented the EoH was indeed a bit suspect). I was expecting something more along the lines of the Mane 6 somehow killing NMM through bullshit or Celestia arriving to save the day (though I wasn't expecting that bit about being immune to the drug, definitely made her seem more on top of things).

Loved your various plays on the trials they overcame, Twilight just using her powers to vaporize things to solve her issues is one of my all time favorite fanon for her. The bickering between the ponies was well done and reasonable. Dash while high on that flower was fantastic.

Loved your end bit there in the Author's Notes and I agree with most of it. Applejack and Rainbow Dash really could have done well to have their EoH swapped, Dash is pretty brutally honest a lot of the time and AJ is stubborn and loyal as a mule. Anyway I really liked it and hope to see more!

Thank you for the comment, and I apologize for having taken so long to reply. I wanted to have legitimate usage of the elements because I like to think of this story as less like Friendship is Witchcraft/Mentally Advanced Series (because seriously I am not ever beating either of them) and more like Dragon Ball Z Abridged, where the storyline is generally stuck to with all iconic and awesome moments intact, only presented in a far different flavor than the original.

Doctor Residence is best pwny!

Pinkie explodes within the first chapter. I think I'm going to like this story.

Silly Twilight, It's the Looney Tunes effect. You don't die until you realize you're screwed.
