7747966 Very happy you enjoyed this! :pinkiehappy: Thank you for reading!

Cockroaches man... :pinkiecrazy:

Wow. Equestrian roaches are really tough if they can withstand the magic of even Celestia. At least their physical resistances is nowhere near as powerful.

BCB

A few typos, but otherwise pretty good! :pinkiecrazy:

7748027 That picture is absolutely brilliant! :rainbowlaugh:

I love it!

Imagine the reaction when a chef walks into that room, picks up the rolling pin, and notices the strange, cockroach-shaped dent in it.

:twilightsheepish: It's not like zapping ants with the power of the sun and a good magnifying glass...
:moustache: Hey Twi I flamed a roach this morning I'll have Rarity tell fluttershy to drop by and stare the rest of them away.:twilightoops:
:trollestia: cheese cheese cheese cheese pineapple cheese eek another roach!:facehoof:

Where have I seen a cockroach like this before?

Just can't lay my thoughts on it...

I found a house centipede in my bathtub. Twice. Creepy damn things, I swear you don't want to ever find one in your house. Especially when you're half-asleep and half-naked. 'Cause y'know. Bathtub.
:pinkiecrazy::twilightoops:
I wanna see Lulu deal with one. So, do it. Make that sequel. :pinkiehappy:

Where there one cockroach there more. :pinkiecrazy:

Luna would probably make friends with it.

This reminds me of something...

But seriously; this thing rocks. It cracked me up. The blunt yet hilarious statement of "This was a truly dark day for all of cockroach kind". And that comment about Luna's salad. What a terrible thing it is, to eat salad without dressing. At least use some vinaigrette Luna.

Also:

“Noinsect!”

Wut?

7748170 I threw back and forth between using "No insect" and "Noinsect".

Either way, it's supposed to be like "No one" and "Nopony". :twilightsmile:

Ahh. That's understandable. I didn't mean it as a complaint, it just looked a little weird.

For a minute, I thought it was going to end with Discord having a bag of roaches.

Love it!

Luna and a House Centipede

The princess of the night trotted across her sisters room, an excited smile on her muzzle. "Sister! Behold this beautiful creature we have discovered!" Celestia groggily opened her eyes as Luna floated something over to 'well within my personal space thank you very much'.

You'll want to check out The Seamstress and the Arachnid by Mr101 in that case.

It had emerged from behind a stack of microwavable dinners, and now it defiled the beautiful, pearl colored counter.

I would argue that microwavable dinners defile a castle almost as much as the roaches.

A fun story here. A sequel, showing maybe some contrast from another pony, could be good.

YOU HAVE TO CONTINUE IT!

most horrifying thing since a millipede crawled across their favorite pillow.

At least it wasn't a centipede.

Yep, this everybody's reaction to a cockroach in a nutshell.

Luna would definitely be the kid sister who liked bringing home bugs in jars.

7748292 That... I actually want to use that, but worded a bit differently.

I'll give you full credit for it. :twilightsmile:

7748366 I'm honored! Feel free to use, abuse and/or flagrantly plagiarize as you see fit.:pinkiecrazy:

I was laughing before the top disappeared.

*claps*

Brilliant on so many levels. I can imagine Equestrian roaches are this hardy due to having to live for thousands of years along side races that can use magic, feed on love, be made of wood, or consist of multiple species in one body.

The tragedy is, Celestia's victory will clearly be short lived.

Please tell me it'll be short lived due to there being a follow up! :D

You've merely won the battle, Celestia.

But this war will wage on for eternity.

This reminds me of this

Hold on a minute. Not that the story isn't nice, but why would a society that consists almost completely of vegetarians need butcher shops for? Well, besides carnivorous pets anyway.

7748418 Hmmm.. twas an oversight.

That said, perhaps for trade with Gryphons and Minotaurs?

7748388 You'd be right. :raritywink:

I have something really goofy planned for this. I hope you'll all enjoy it.

7748409 Curse you for beating me to it! This means WAR!!

Alondro summons Daleks and Borgs and Cylons and Shadows and Thanos and Uchiha Madara and Souseke Aizen and Blackbeard and Emperor Palpatine and the most evil villain of all... Dan*.

7748418 They have to slice the cow people up every now and then for visiting griffons. :fluttershbad:

Awesone, love it, sequel noa

Reminds me of any number of recent insurance ads.

"And if you got cut-rate insurance, you could be paying for all this yourself. So get AllEquis ... and protect yourself from mayhem, like me."

Because in some writers' worlds and preferences, Equestrians can eat meat in low quantities and just choose not to. Some individuals choose a more omnivorous diet than the others.

This story was really funny. I liked it a lot.

And on that day, Celestia met a foe like no other....
