Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
Sunset legitimately liked Cool Topic. The usual customers were too busy being "ironically" disaffected to be awestruck. Plus, the idea of being merchandised had gone from embarrassing to genuinely amusing. "What do you think?" she said to Twilight, holding a shirt in front of her that was only a few shades darker than her skin.
Twilight took in Sunset's pleading face and clasped hands on the shirt, then looked at the caption. "Please Do Not Worship This Shirt."
"Too much?"
Twilight gave a fond smile. "I'm hardly an unbiased source when it comes to the question of too much Sunset." Her expression went lopsided. "Still, given how things are playing out, you may want to get seven of those. I'm pretty sure I saw someone bowing to me on our way here."
Sunset nodded, then checked the price tag. Her eyes widened and she whipped the shirt back on the rack. "Not at those prices, I'm not."
"Aren't you obscenely wealthy?"
"Yeah, and these shirts are obscenely expensive. Therefore, I can only afford one."
Twilight laughed and shook her head. "We're both hanging around Pinkie Pie too much. That actually made sense."
The next day, Sunset awoke to find a box on her front step. Within were seven "Do Not Worship" shirts and a signed apology from the manager of her local Cool Topic.
She facepalmed. "You know," she said to herself, "the worst part is that I really can't tell if they're missing the irony or deliberately ignoring it."

I thought the setting equivalent franchise was "Cool Subject." Maybe I'm thinking of something elseā¦
they could just be using her as free advertising
That ending makes it so much better!
"Why can't it be both... or neither? Why can't it be all at once, even the completely contradictory ones? When dealing with circumstances like these, physics necessarily makes grammar obsolete!"

At this point, Sunset just needs to give up and accept that things like this are going to happen, and just enjoy the benefits. I mean, it's what Celestia would do.

I think it ranges all over the place. In my fics, I use "CoolStory".

Entirely possible. Sunset may just be too accustomed to genuine unwanted faith.

"Twilight!"
"Yes, Sunset?"
"I need you to invent new verb tenses to properly describe how stupid people are being."
"Ha! I told Shining that one day people would thank me for the pluperfect imbecilic tense!"

One day, she'll learn to roll with it. For now, she still doesn't completely trust herself with power overwhelming. The prayers aren't helping.
