Mr Anomalous


And so I sit, alone with the dark and the quiet, treading the secret corridors of my mind & soul and always discovering the oddest things. . . .

After a decade of research and development, Twilight Sparkle has, alone, developed a device that is capable of amplifying her magical abilities to see . . . everything. Everywhere. Across the multiverse, her gaze lands.

And what does she see? . . .

Excellent job

It looks like the rest of reality really, really sucks.

7680883 It's reality; of course it does.

Being able to see Everything is actually sort of worthless unless you also have the ability to look at specifically the worthwhile Somethings.

Sort of how everything in the universe is in Space, yet most of Space is disappointingly empty (or covered in shoggoths)

I wouldn't say this is exactly deserving of a horror tag. Twilight just found that being able to see absolutely everything without being able to focus on any one thing for longer than it takes to blink is a rather worthless ability.

I mean, I admit it is a horrible thing for her, but horror tags imply a level of danger both physical and psychological that will leave scars and send chills down the spine.

As it is, she's more or less back to the drawing board-in fact, I think her crying is a bit off off as well-I'd expect genuine anger on her part because of the unintentional flaw in her machine followed by intensive working to modify it.

7681986 I originally didn't tag it as "horror", but realized after I finished it that it would fit Lovecraftian Horror.

Thus, "horror" was the closest.

7681100 Still trying to figure out if it was an Elder Thing or one of Azathoth's servants that grabbed her.

7682954 Something actually grabbed her?

I did not get that at all from the story. I was thinking her machine was inadvertently set to switch universes every few seconds.

In all honesty, I didn't really get much of a horror vibe-eldritch or not-from this story. Maybe some things that could lend themselves to eldritch horror if expanded upon, but for the most part I just didn't see or feel it in the story.

Okay, so I got the Fate Stay/Night reference, but the others are lost on me and I'd really like to know. May we please have a list?
