Wheller


Surprise!

T

A late night stroll for Pinkie Pie after another night of lying awake ends with her rediscovering a forgotten past.

Pinkie Pie learns that some things are better left forgotten.

Chapters (8)
Comments ( 55 )

The question is what she does with the knowledge of the old world; she's never going to be the same after this and even if there isn't a horrible ending for her, she's not going to like the journey at all.

Fuck my life moment there...

47976 isnt it always....

48072
I dont want to admit it but its true...

She took it well enough, I wonder if Applejack will? With the whole abusing her sister double suicide and betrayal of her friends part...

Warned you about those old world memories
SHE WARNED YOU BRO

Pinkie may have gone :pinkiecrazy: but at least she is getting all this extreme emotional backlog off her back, and I will always stick by my conviction that surprise is different than before, maybe not on a side specifically but definitely not working against Twi and the rest. Either way some major things are about to go down including, I suspect a meeting with Emerald :rainbowkiss:

Now that Twilight is finally about to discover that 'Pinkie Pie' is simply a construct meant to keep ponies from encountering the 'unlikable' Pinkamena, it seems almost appropriate that we find out why, aside from the obvious answer of 'because her siblings like it and she's petty enough a jerk to smash it', it is that machinery brings out the violent, destructive and hostile maniac in Celestia. Outwardly, she looks like one of the more idiotic fans of the agrarian lifestyle who doesn't want to realise that her little ponies might not care to live the simple life she, the Decider, has Decided is best for them; inwardly, she probably fears taking a back seat to somepony with access to an H-bomb.

Here's really hoping that Pinkie lets her true side show to twilight and rainbow dash, including her feelings for twilight. It's going to be painful for all 3 of them, but in time I think it will bring a lot of healing to Pinkie. She doesn't deserve what she's going through right now.

I noticed something that Twilight seems to have either not have heard of yet or ignored: the fact that Ditzy doesn't use her old name any longer; while it's true that she's got a great idea of what to do about the two ponies who have the most to lose if they remember the old world, she doesn't know what to do about those who just might have something to gain from it.

Also, we're just about to see what, aside from ignorance and fear, motivates Celestia's fear of technology; my guess is that they've decided that nopony needs a delusional jerkass with a God complex calling the shots and the crazy idiot wants to get rid of them and their machines. Look how she's stampeded the masses into blindly enforcing the cult of personality Luna probably hates.

Oh man, poor pinkie. :pinkiesad2:

Welcome.... Weve been expecting you...:rainbowderp:

Pinkie just made it complicated... and now shes gonna go beserk because twilight doesnt feel that way >_>

They're oddly friendly :rainbowderp:

Hmmmm.....the Welaran king seems as oddly jovial as the Machine Cultists. That seems to be a pattern that I've noticed; the planet seems to be stocked with intimidating creatures who are all, as Apocalypse Pony said, oddly friendly.

It's how they get you right where they want you. :pinkiehappy:

RIGHT where they want you. :pinkiecrazy:

52302
Thought so. It seems to me that that's exactly how somepony convinced Ditzy to undergo that meaningful rename of hers.

Okaaaaaaaaay.....we have 1) Twilight kicking herself for not seeing the crush Pinkie has on her.
2) Willoughby back in town asking after old friends
and
3) The other really important and horrifying thing: Vinyl, Surprise and the Machine Cultists.

I can't wait to see which way to panic next.

Interesting,its King George the 3rd were talking about here or? :trollestia:

52730

George's personality isn't based off anyone in particular.

Though his physical appearance is based on King George V.

Oh god damn it Pinkie, can't she ever break news in a rather less dramatic fashion? First it is pummeling the door half down then it is a impromptu smooch. She is more of a drama queen then Rarity! On the other hoof, that really did get the point across.

As for the Machine Cult... They watch you sleep!

Why can't it be the future soon so that I don't have to wait?


Whooves, I want you to send me to next month.

Again Wheller, I am so impressed by your ability to add cool meta-world knowledge into the story, like with Zecora and her South African heritage, and the Afrikaners. Pinkie is getting better which is great and all :yay: and Surprise is still being a nutcase, which is good/bad/meh and Benjamin is back which is super chill! Things seem to be looking up/down/sideways/?someways? I can't wait to see what happens next!

OH, crap.....not only does AJ not pick up on the fact that Octavia would probably have cheered Ditzy on if she'd tried killing her, Gilda is back looking for trouble and totally failing to consider the fact that Dashie is allowed more than one friend in the world. Granted, Gryphons are supposed to be monogamous but that's taking a good thing too damned far; it's also witlessly ignoring the fact that Flip-flop is a herd animal.

I hope AJ isnt that stupid, and picked Octy BECAUSE she is in a bad mood,but oh well we will have to find out lol.

53092
someways, definitely someways.

AppleJack is so fucking dense sometimes! Seriously I would support 'Tavi hoofing her in the face at this point, and now Gilda is here! GILDA IS HORRIBLE and I hope she doesn't ruin everything but I get the this nagging thought that Pinkie will have a bit of a kerfuffle (kur•fu•fle) with Gilda, and as Apocalypse Pony so well pointed out s3.amazonaws.com/kym-assets/entries/icons/original/000/006/306/cit_bleach_-_table_flip.jpg?1310098560

"I used to be the pony that nobody wanted to mess with; then I took a bullet to the wing. Rainbow Dash thought to herself with a sigh."

Not you too... :facehoof:

:pinkiehappy:
ONE OF US, ONE OF US

Skyrim much? lol

and i cant even play the game... thanks for reminding me *goes to hide in a hole...* :fluttercry:

I might just be missing something crucial, but this fic is like sex in a pitch-black room. I have no idea what the hell is going on, but ME GUSTA nonetheless. It might just be because I took a hit off the ol' volcano, but for some reason this is perfectly fine.

55351

Oooookkk,, confusion time now.

Montana Ulan= Held the Paragon of Order in himself
Montana Ulan= Is/Was a servant of the Paragon of Order while keeping him in himself?


or its Legion thats there now with them. :twilightoops:

World Leaders Conference? I can see that working out without any trouble at all...

This is a series of stories started by "Kindness to Strangers" that you can find at the bottom of this link:

If you read it all you will get the impression that Wheller hates this ponies so much he makes them suffer every second of their life (reduced it to every 10 recently) but thats just your imagination :trollestia:

Oh, super; Pinkie might have bounced back to her real self but that doesn't mean that we're out of the woods yet. Legion and his servitors will not be denied.

55351

I haven't even played skyrim either. :pinkiegasp:

Oh Internet and your memes!

seriously, only a few seconds after i finish one thing, you post another....not that im complaining

I know Legion is ultimately a 'bad' guy, but what exactly IS his purpose? What has he been trying to do other than be creepy and showing up in the weirdest places? I think I might have missed something. :facehoof:

Surprise really know how to initiate a conversation.

‘I’m a dangerous psychopath with a long history of violence!

Now I can understand Celestia fearing a nuclear power plant but I can't for the life of me figure out how a diesel train is supposed to destroy the world or whatever nonsense she tells herself to justify her mindless hatred of any sort of machine that might tend to make life easier for her little ponies and therefore less inclined to feed her monstrous ego by using her as a crutch.

The same sort of "I need them to suffer needlessly so that they know how good I am" thinking that dominates Celestia's mind seems to be why Ditzy suffered for years from the stigma of crossed eyes because Celestia-approved medicine could do nothing for her. Given that the Nephite doctors corrected it with almost contemptuous ease, it isn't really all that surprising that she's embraced a religion that delivers the goods.

He has no purpose, he's just there to kill whoever he remembers.

56213
I'm not even sure that's his purpose anymore, since that would mean he would try to kill Vinyl, and he obviously has no intentions of that right now.
I think he's just a true neutral; does whatever he wants as long as it benefits him.

Legion is odd, for doing all of his "Evil" he really hasn't. He killed a few folks he remembered, showed up at a few odd times then... Gone, though he is still around it isn't a very active evil really. Monty is being fantastic of course, and involving himself in more trains which is probably a mistake considering his current train track record.

57663

I'd have to agree with not. For an alicorn antagonist, he really hasn't caused any trouble on a larger scale. Nevertheless, I found it amazing how our protagonists actually maintained hope and didn't break down upon Legion's rebirth a few chapters ago. It's quite incredible how these normal ponies succeed in combating these deities (Overdrive, Legion, Siblings Nightmare), let alone even had the morale to attempt doing so.

Also, seeing all these events come together is really interesting. Finally, some serious dialogue from Montanna Ulan, which I've been waiting for since the end of 'All Good Things'. I eagerly await the completion of you next installment in this story. Good job.

Legion isn't an alicorn, he's just a set of multiple consciousnesses that are trapped in Whirlwind's Pegasus body.

He does, however, have telepathic and telekinetic abilities.
