After running and surviving The Bridle Path, can Twilight, Rarity and Princess Luna survive the darkness that has touched their lives, or will Darkness forever be their master?
This universe is evil in that I simultaneously root for the good guys and yet find myself fascinated by the what-ifs of collar magic, like 'What if Sombra hadn't missed', and so forth. Which is the mark of a well-crafted world, kudos
I liked the original story, and I want to like this, but my god is the split personality thing obnoxious. It's never interesting to read conversations between two characters that share all information, have the same goals, and agree on basically everything. It basically becomes a superpower where somehow the split halves working together are better than the original, and tag teaming just results in character flaws or weaknesses being smoothed away to make the character less interesting. Even just giving the character a perfect confidant reduces the pressure they'll ever have to face.
7880295 It's a contradiction, they would not be sharing all information, or they would not be separate personalities. They share some common starting set, and in this case they share also new input, but they don't share what's going on inside of them.
Even speaking realistically, human brain doesn't share all information within itself, two hemispheres are mostly isolated. Dissociative identity disorder is a mental process which produces a lack of connection in a person's memories, feelings, actions, or sense of identity. But in reality facets rarely communicate at all or communicate though shared memories, not through each other, unless person's thought process would create an "imaginary friend" as an avatar of the lesser facet
I did not collab on this one. Neener
