Yikes indeed

I still don't understand Shining's reaction. Twilight's reaction to his fucking hypocrisy makes perfect sense, but his reaction is baffling.

Anyway, the Sparkle family tree is a clusterfuck.

I guess I can see his side a bit more, wanting to spare Twilight and his father having to try to keep the relationship secret, and that might even explain him forcing them to end the relationship, but the rest of it I think was just Shining being a Dickbag and wanting to get Night on the couch to leave Velvet alone for himself.

"Yeah. You don't need to tell me how lucky I am," he admitted. "But I've- Mom and I, we've beaten some very long odds. And I just didn't want you and Dad going down the same path of secrets and lies. I knew how dangerous it was. And when I found out about you and Dad, I knew that it was just going to be a matter of time, all of us living in this powder-keg of family secrets. I guess tonight was a long time coming for me... For us." A tear on Shining's cheek glistened in the moonlight. He wiped it away with his hoof. "Sometimes... I just wish I could undo all of it, and have a normal relationship with Mom. You know? And have a normal family." Twilight nudged him with her shoulder.

Ooh fuck you, you didn't want them to live in secrete like you do. Just fuck you, you consciented son of a bitch. No one should forgive you for what you did, you fucking hypocrite.

Ya, no. I do understand where Shinning is coming from in not wanting his sister and father to live the kind of life of lies he has, but that only excuses SOME of his action.
His initial reaction and physical assault on Night Light can be explained as simple rage and not thinking about what he was doing, but after that there is no excuse for what he did to Night Night.
He could very easily have made Night and Twilight tell Velvet what happened, knowing she would forgive the two due to her own illicit relationship and shamming Night and Twilight enough that they would never think about committing incest again.
Shinning's actions of getting his father drunk to the point he could have killed him due to alcohol poisoning points to a stallion so consumed with jealously of his father that he want's him out of the picture. Either via accidental death or by making his mother hate him enough to leave him.

You can call me a size queen if you wish...

Kinda the best line :3

If your family tree does not fork, you might be a red neck. Or a sparkle in this case.

Lol, that’s one of the funniest comments I’ve read on this site.

Olenna Tyrell would have a field day with this story Also, if I they invent time travel, I'm adding "finding Sophocles (author of Oedipus the King) and giving him this story to read" to my to-do list

Night Light needs to divorce his whore of a "wife" and leave her with nothing. She's been fucking her son for like 20 or more YEARS AND she's also been getting lesbian action with her son's wife as well.

This family tree gonna end up looking like a maze

Night Light: You guys, I can't stay married to her. This whole thing is a complete disaster! In fact, you know what? I got to go down to the courthouse right now and file for divorce. This thing ends now.

Hang on, Night. I'm not sure that's a good idea. This place has some extremely draconian laws governing divorce that all heavily favor the mares.

Night Light: What? What do you mean?

Well, to be honest, if you divorce her, she'll probably get everything you have.

Night Light: What? No, that's impossible! I can't lose all my money and my house! Then I'll have to move into some depressing divorced guy apartment!
