Not checking in here. I may post stories because my patrons are nice and like ponies. Otherwise out of the fandom, sorry peeps.

A predator chases his prey heartlessly. Yet prey can be predators too. Does one predator owe mercy to another?

This is dark. It's pure vent fic, if rather indirect; my real frustrations have nothing to do with wanting to kill and eat people! Still, read at your own risk.

Posted without editing or input from anybody, because I'm sure anyone I asked would probably have told me this was a bad idea.

Well.

I mean.

...Yeah ok I got nothing. Aside from wondering what in the fuck prompted this.

7951831 My mind is a very strange place.

So it seems.

Regardless, nice work with the imagery, if a bit rough.

Cool. Pinkie got punished for making Dashie Cakes? I'm curious what led to this, but it doesn't change that this is a pretty good story.

I see nothing wrong here. :pinkiesmile:

I don't necessarily like it, mostly because the subject matter really doesn't appeal to me, but I don't hate it, and I don't think it's bad. It doesn't go in my favorites, but it gets an upvote for being somewhat interesting and reasonably well-executed.

if you would like to tell me to never write more fics like this ever again

I do hope stifling an author's creativity is on Celestia's list of exile-worthy crimes!

It's a fic alright. It's really not as bad as I was expecting. Though really, Cooper's just an ass.

7951925 Eh, this isn't creativity so much as just my brain leaking frustration and looking for somewhere to put it.

7951933 Cooper's real flaw is that he's not a character so much as an excuse. Of course that's also Cupcakes Pinkie's real flaw, so they go well together. :twilightsmile: If I were trying to do something more serious with this I might attempt to make him have actual motivations besides "he eats ponies because he's a jerk like that".

7951965 *snickers* It's not that he's a jerk for eating ponies, it's that he's a jerk for playing with his food. Too feline to appeal.

Aye but by making her mentally ill, you give her some sympathy because you imply it wasn't entirely her fault.

7951972 Hmm. True. I was thinking of Johnny the Homicidal Maniac when I wrote the paragraph where she babbles madly. It's actually mildly debatable whether Johnny is mentally ill or not, once you read the whole series, but I suppose if one comes down on "not" he still has reasons for what he does. Whether that carries over to Pinkie in this story I have no idea, of course. It doesn't really have room for further delving into her motivations, all things considered.

7951986 Good ol JTHM. His twitter feed is hilarious.

read later -wulffywoof tired

So, I like looking at raptors soaring around in the sky.

Once, I actually saw one of them looking me over before going "Nah."

Still gave me the heebies jeebies. :twilightoops:

7952047 Oh geez. I boggle at the thought of JtHM on twitter.

Noc

Hmm. Gives a new meaning to the term “slice of life” …

An interesting encounter, at any rate. Brutal, but not unnecessarily so, for what the story accomplishes.

Gives a new meaning to the term “slice of life” …

Well, that made me giggle probably too much. :pinkiehappy:

Noc

7955990 Y’know, that Pinkie face is just horribly inappropriate, given the story above … :pinkiesad2:

Another amazing story by you... It may not be cute, fluffy TwiLestia, but it's my kind of story nonetheless. :pinkiesad2: Okay, you've proven that I need to follow you. Two good stories? And even more unread? That pretty much results in a follow, depending on how good the stories are. And you've got the good stuff. :raritywink:

7956685 Hee. Well, I'm glad you've enjoyed them so far!

Oh hey a sequel to Cupcakes somewhat worth reading.

And silly gryphon, thinking Sunhorse is weak. Silly, silly gryphon.

7964901 He would probably not like it much if he ever met Celestia. But then this grimdark universe's version of Celestia is a little bit more pragmatic and less goody-goody than most versions of her.

7964939 See, it's grimdark, so I half expect that encounter to not end well for the horse. But horse what with GIANT FIREHORN is always fun.

7964954 I'm pretty sure she would splat him like a bug. Maybe next time I need to write violent vent fic, I'll write that.

7964962 I can't decide which of the two 'that's' it would be. Hopefully the one I will not be sad to read :raritywink:

7965004 Well, I already wrote a bad ending for Celestia the first time I wrote horrible vent fic, way back when, so I've gotten that out of my system.

7965010 Oh, good, good. Even if I have no idea what story that is.

7965058 This one. It's a bad ending for everyone except maybe Discord, though that's debatable.

Edit: And I notice you read it back in the day. Man, it feels like forever since I wrote it.

7965074 Yea, apparently I did. And re-read it. That one wasn't so bad. Like, I see it as more Cosmic-Recurrence-Zen for some reason. Dark, but with a purpose to it all.

7965082 Yeah. It's very satisfying in a certain way. Like stories with closed time loops. :twilightsmile: I could write the re-creation and the new Equestria, but of course then I'd end up duplicating the show, since it would arguably all be the same. Or who knows, maybe next time it would be different. Maybe this cycle is where all the AUs come from.

7965084 What happens when someone writes the AU where all AUs are destroyed FOREVER

7965106 Hee. The end of FimFiction, I guess? I wouldn't want to risk it! :pinkiehappy:

7965115 The End of Ponies.

SS&E is responsible for this clearly :rainbowwild:

I like it! But then I like darker stories. I'd love to see a story about a griffin like Copper in this universe.
