"Starlight, are you sure this is a good idea?"
"C'mon, Twilight! Imagine the possibilities! Flim and Flam are taking over with those robot things. Not that it's a bad thing, but what if we didn't need machines? What if we had ALICORNS instead? Hundreds of alicorns, all perfectly happy to help us do everyday tasks!"
"But Starlight... I-I'd have to ask Celestia. This is slavery you're talking about."
"It's not slavery if they like working for us. You're your own princess, Twilight! You never see Cadence going to them whenever she has a plan! What we need is independence. This could WORK."
"..."
"Come on, Twi. Creating a pony from scratch, how hard could it be? Ponies do it all the time, how do you think you popped up? And even if we don't use impregnation, we could make a homunculus! Those things used to be all over the place back when Starswirl was around. We could reinvent the homunculus to carry ALL traits of ALL races of pony."
"..."
"An artificial alicorn, Twilight. And you could be the one to create it. WE could be the ones to create it."
"I... I'll think about it. Okay?"
Starlight laws of equivalent exchange. Did you learn nothing from the cautionary tale of full metal alchemist
Hmmm, forshadowing.
Starlight, methinks you should learn about equivalent exchange.
Why doesn't this story have a dark tag?
7051330 Ah, I meant that to say that he pretty much never uses it because he's not allowed to. But he had used it before to keep away a mare who flipped her shit, basically.
Excellent catch, though. I'll have to reword that.
7051682 I guess it should, huh? I thought the Gore tag would be enough.
Feels very Full Metal Alchemist to me. That's a good thing.
So.... I'm guessing that Twi accidentally created that Alicorn that killed everypony and created Not Fallout 4? Or something like that.
And if that's the case...Adds one sin to the pile, Predictable!
..... Sorry I had to make a cinemasins reference I can't help myself
7055998 Yes and no.
