The Yaks, a great and noble...er...people that are full of pride and demand only the best...for themselves.
And when they don't get it, they scream and shout, and smash stuff.
This is the story, of what happened when they went too far, and messed with a purple pretty pony princess so much, even she didn't want their friendship.

The war went as well as expected. It looks like you may have a good setup for a sequel as well. Maybe with Twilight having to deal with a Equestria that is going through a manifest destiny thanks in part from the Yak war.
so, were the three yaks (the ones that declared war) destroyed by Twilight's magic blast?

Turned to stone. I was going to add a scene with Twilight going outside and having a few words with Fluttershy in front of a Yak birdbath, but it got too late in the day and this was just something I came up with on the spur of the moment after the episode.
Honestly, I wasn't sure what to think about the yaks. Yaks have not been mentioned even once in the episodes before, and then 'poof'. They pop up out of nowhere. It was a shock, and when I got over it, I was wondering 'Why do they even need to befriend the yaks?'
6142963
I have a theory that it has something to do with the reappearance of the Crystal Empire. Maybe the empty plot of land was claimed by the Yaks and then *poof* the crystal empire is there.
Lol taken over in a whopping five days
Yeah, don't mess with ponies, man 
Honestly, I'm surprised that Twilight got that far to begin with. If it was me, after about the third time they threw a hissy fit I'd be telling them to get out of my town, since they are clearly not interested in diplomacy.
XDXDXD
This is pure genius! Awesome! I loved it! Honestly, given how ponies clearly have the upper hoof over yaks, both with magic, army, and kingdom size, the yaks were really pushing their luck.
Yaks thought that Endless Winter would protect them.
Yaks were wrong.
Uh... Pony wank I guess? Where do you guys get the idea that princesses are some all-powerful beings of mass destruction. And don't even get me started on Rainbow Dash clearing 3 cities by herself...
Seriously lost as to what to think of this story. I mean, seeing someone tell the Yaks how rude they were would have been awesome. But this is kind of going the other way and showing ponies as all powerful bastards who enslave others for the fun of it, especially the last part conveys that message. A truly strange mix, with not taking this stuff seriously on one hand and going the extremely dark and fan-wanking route on the other.

It's dark humor, it's supposed to have a bit of a disturbing quality to it.
Plus when you think about it, that's what they've pretty much done with the cattle and the sheep. Despite being shown to be sapient, they're treated like animals and live in pens.
Thank you for writing this.
Watching the episode, I had several moments of slow-burn rage at the Yaks.
Every time they threw a tantrum, every time they destroyed everything within reach without a single thought to what they were doing, I asked myself "Do the ponies really WANT these whiny bitches as friends?"
Being turned to stone was a more gentle punishment than I would have given them, so good for you, Twilight, for being all restrained and Princess-y and stuff.
Good point on the cows and pigs, btw--I like the headcanon of them being previously subjugated races.
(And the Yak-wool clothing made me lol)
Maybe I read too much fanfiction. But when I saw that episode I couldn't help but wonder why the ponies would even want diplomatic relationships with a viking level culture ruled by someone dumb enough to wage war at the drop of a hat.
moral of this story don't screw with an alicorn princess
Well that was a thing that happened.
Fuck it. I'm taking this as canon. I want this to be a cut short from the episode.
6143640 I dunno seems a lot like real life.... We.. I mean the U.S.A. has those that very much would be our enemy or already are their enemy and yet our leaders still try to play nice,nice when we should be blasting them until there is none left because that is want they want to do... So it's very much like real life..
The way I might've wrote it the second I saw them tearing things up for no realistic reason... BTW; You forgot to say that their milk isn't what you're used to in the stores too..heh.. But pew>> I don't know which is worse to me.. Their breath that would still stink after eating ten pounds of tictacs or their bodies and you do not want to smell a wet one....:
In any case it was a good funny short fic..heh
The yaks were never going to win. With pegasus weather control, Earth Pony superstrenght and earth connection, Unicorns energy manipulation, Alicorns peak of all three races, Discords reality warping, ... The rainbow power... Yeah war against equestria is suicide.
Dammit, I was hoping for Twilight to scream "THIS IS EQUESTRIA!" before bucking the Yaks into a pit.
This was awesome.
6146212 I'm not sure why you felt the need to reply to that and use it to start ranting about the evils of Christianity. You could have just said that Vikings were a civilized culture and left it at that. Christians were not once mentioned, so who are you arguing with?
I know they had it coming, but damn, do not buck with the purple one!
6146341 Because my Christian boyfriend dumped me and when I'm mad I go on bizarre rants.
6146391 Fair enough. Still, I would ask that you avoid needlessly putting that sort of thing out into the community, especially here. Last thing anyone wants is for the comments of the author's story to turn into a flame war.
6146484 Good point.
Yeah, not a smart move on the yak's part to declare war. While I appreciated the effort to give Twilight Sparkle a more diplomatic role, the fact that they attempted to destroy animals and a close friend of the princesses, this route would be more likely. And yeah, the yaks weren't very smart when they, well, did anything, but declaring war on Equestria at this point would be a good way to kill yourself and your entire nation. They have four alicorn princesses, who are some of the most powerful beings alive in the My Little Pony universe, the Rainbow Power forms of the Elements of Harmony, the reality-warping Spirit of Chaos, a pegasus who can reduce buildings to craters, and, well, Pinkie Pie on their side. The fact that some of these areas overlap is just icing on the "You're going to make the dinosaurs look lively" cake.

We're not allowed to have a 'pony wank' when there's whole bunches of asshats on a pony fanfiction site talking about how superior humans are to ponies and leaving puddles of jizz on any human-conquers-pony story they drag out of their asses (as well as bitching on any story where ponies win something either seriously or for fun)? Again, on a PONY fanfiction site, it's not okay to do this to you? I think you're in the wrong fandom. I'm sure the Yak fandom, full of Yakkers, can find a place for you.
6146897
Fine, I will bite. Just remember to not put words into my mouth, I never said you cannot have stories like these. They just do not really seem that interesting to me - any sort of a fan-wank story is fairly boring as it's one sided, that's for one. Second, it portrays the side we are supposed to cheer on as merciless, ruthless, power-abusing and downright evil (in this case as slavers too) when you think about it. While LordBrony made a fair point about the cows I think that is taking it a few steps too far. I do not think ponies are anything like what we see here, both in character and in power level.
I just do not see the appeal. Two thousand words of "look how great fanon ponies are!", no conflict, no meaningful difficulties, no development, no story arc. I guess if you are into power fantasy that's a story for you though. Not a fan of dark comedy either but that is just my personal taste. Didn't enjoy these stories when it was cool to bash griphons, do not really enjoy them now.
6147424
You stated such stories are boring, then later clarified -you- don't see the appeal. The latter was correct, the former was not. That is why I disliked your original post. You made statements, rather than stating opinion. Understand the difference, please.
That aside, which I can write off simply as just forgetting that you're speaking to multiple people essentially when you make these posts, if you felt you are not the audience of this story, why leave a comment at all? Nothing about it seemed to appeal to you, that means it wasn't written for you. You are not part of the intended audience. Leaving a proper critique is one thing, pointing out something that seemed weird to you, or something you wanted to have a discussion about in the comments - that's all fine.
But when you show up, and the whole thing from even before you started was just not your bag, what was the point in leaving a demeaning comment? You could have just as easily left without a word, like the other people who didn't like the type of story. This is meant to comedic, and for a majority of us, it was. You didn't find it to your tastes on a personal level and yet felt the need to leave a post that sounded equally condemning and defensive. That doesn't help the author, that doesn't add anything to the readership, and you gained nothing from leaving the comment aside from having to deal with me and whoever else feels like they have something to add sometime between now and the next six months.
Faved it because the Yaks were so unlikeble
6147434
Once again you are trying to put things into my post that aren't there. Please, underline in the original post where I said that is boring. I said that only when you raged hardcore about my original post. You are once again trying to twist my words.
What is probably the most funny is the way you try to convey I shouldn't leave any post if I say negative things. Look at your post again please. Do you see any sort of feedback, any real thought about the story? Because all I see is a random person coming in and raging about a post that states an opinion he/she doesn't agree with. And personally disliking my post saying that I shouldn't have made it. An argument that sounds familiar perhaps?
Whether positive or negative, it's a feedback I decided to leave. As long as it's not mindless bashing, I am free to do so. Some people agreed, some didn't. I at least provided logical reasons why I dislike it.
After reading this all I can say is, "Run LLAMAS RUN!!!"
That's right, Twilight. They started it. You finished it.
We have the Solar Empire and the Lunar Republic... might we have the beginning of the Twilight Regime?
6143640
Considering where yaks actually live (the Himalayas) I'd assume they were the pony world's equivalent of Mongols. Actually, yaks are mostly associated with Tibet which is a pacifist culture but Mongolia and Tibet have been very closely connected (the Mongols eventually adopted Tibetan Lamaism).
I actually thought the yaks' head wear was also supposed to suggest Mongols, but I could be wrong. Maybe the Vikings were the point of reference. "Rutherford" sure isn't a Mongolian name (Mongolian names are...well, something).
6152204 ya vikings would be more polite
This story alone make me feel happy over the facts that the Yaks got there just deserts. Great Job.
Also, in all honest, who in there right minds would attack a nation with the following:
1.) 3 Alicorns (Sun, Moon/Nightmares, Friendship/Magic)
2.) The Lord of Chaos himself
3.) The Wonderbolts
4.) and lastly, the F*cking Elements of Harmony! Who had defeated: Nightmare Moon, Discord, Chryilsis, King Zombra, and Tirek himself all in that order. So really Yaks, you really want war with these Ponies.
6172964
Don't forget their alliance with the Crystal Empire, Yakyakistan's next door neighbor.
6147544 you never actually proved logically why you disliked it you only proved emotionally and personally why which in no way is feedback it's an opinion and not a helpful one at that.
6172964
What happened to cadence?
6430182 I forgot about her and isn't she against the idea of war? Also is the Crystal Empire a add-on to Equestia or independent?
6430773 well if they are independent they would be heavily allied to equestria for shining armour was captain of the guard and cadence i believe is a friend of celestia.
Huh. i expected Twilight to pull a Frieza. As in commit mass genocide on the entire yak race, and maybe a scolding turned into thanking from Princess Celestia
I read this a while back, up-voted it, and then moved on. I just re-read it because I'm liking one of your other stories, and I find that I like it even more now that some time has passed since the related episode aired. Hence, adding it to my favorites and commenting here. Largely because that episode has not improved with time in my mind.
Somepony should have warned the Yaks of this.
Pretty Pony Princess: Volatile, handle with care.
6171270 Yeah, Vikings are MUCH more polite. Even their stereotype is more polite!
There is one change that I think would make this story better: Make "Yakyakastan Conquered!" a separate chapter, and a bonus chapter (and change the title of the story). The story up to that point can stand on its own, as an alternate ending to "Party Pooped." And it's jarring to go right from a serious alternate ending to the episode, to that silly parody aftermath.
Other then that: Not bad. Not bad at all. Actuality, quite good!
6172964
You and me both.
I checked this story out since I read one of your other works before and I got to say this was just awesome and funny. Man I couldn't blame Twilight for going ape shit and had enough of the yaks additudes for smashing things up and over the pettiest and stupidest of things. Plus Pinkie and the others worked their butts off to make them feel welcomes in Equestria.
I honestly hated that episode as the yaks were in the wrong to behave like that and honestly if they did go to war they would have lost in a heart beat. They would have to face four alicorns, Discord, the bearers to The Elements of Harmony, the royal guards, and yes even the Wonder Bolts.
This was a great story and I'll make sure to check out your other work.
Good Luck LordBrony2040.
