Put the words in the bag and nopony gets hurt

This story is a sequel to My Little Pony: Diplomacy is Dumb


King Sombra. Remember him? Yeah, that guy. The guy that used to be an evil dictator, sometimes called the definition of evil, and ruled over his subjects with an iron hoof. Yes, him.

Turns out that his prestige wasn’t the only thing he lost when he was first defeated, seeing as he has also lost all his brain cells and common sense. So much, in fact, that he got himself imprisoned for trying to steal from the Princess of Love herself.

But! He has been freed from prison and is now on his way to take revenge at last, and reclaim the throne that rightfully belongs to him!

...Or, that’s what he hopes. Sombra was never really too good at planning things, really.

Sequel to my comedy story MLP: Diplomacy is dumb. Reading it is advised but not necessary to understand this story.

Also they killed him that also should be added.

Sshhhhh...

Heroes never die.

8279713 they're just missing in action...

" A swirling vortex of malignant energy surrounding it " - hey, that's a pretty good line!

Thanks! I guess I’m just too good at this, really :moustache:

8279967 I know, you clearly have a natural affinity for the literal arts.

Well, that got a good chuckle out of me. Nice little comedy oneshot!

Glad my goal was achieved! More like these are planned for the future, so stay tuned :ajsmug:

That means the story achieved its intended purpose! Victory sreech!

Short, sweet and slightly random comedy, great :twilightsmile: I find it hilarious how a seemingly reformed villain in Equestria can do everything, even having a tea with the princess. Though I wonder who is the true fool here. Sombra or Shining Armour and his guards?

Grammar-wise it was good, noticed some recurring issues concerning direct speech and punctuation. I'll elaborate and explain more if you wish.

Glad you liked it!

And sure, nothing wrong with helping me, eh? :twilightsmile:

8416543
You're welcome :twilightsmile:

Well, some people don't like it, so better safe than sorry :twilightsheepish:

Remember that when a speaking dialogue tag (said, asked, replied, yelled, responded, whispered, cried... etc.) is present and follows after the direct speech, it starts with a lowercase letter. If the direct speech sentence ends with a full stop, it's replaced with a comma once the speaking tag is present. (Other punctuation marks stay unchanged.) Like this:

"Write it like this," she said.

In English, you never use colon before direct speech. Its role is taken by a comma again.

She said, "Write it like this."

Also, notice how much emphasize I put on the speaking aspect of the dialogue tag. For if there is a different action, the tag is uppercase and the speech can end with a full stop.

"It's really easy." He laughed.

And that's pretty much it. Any questions?

To be perfectly honest, by now somebody else had pointed this out to me multiple times, and I (hopefully) have not made the same mistake in my newer stories.

Still, you’re right, and I fully understand you, of course.





That’s it tho? Thought I was horrible. Huh. :unsuresweetie:

8416845
Ah, I was unaware of that :twilightsheepish: But it doesn't hurt to repeat certain things, does it?
Speaking of your other stories, do you have some you'd recommend or some you seek feedback on?

That’s it tho? Thought I was horrible. Huh. :unsuresweetie:

Horrible in which aspect? :rainbowhuh:

8417818
Why I’d recommend all of them :moustache:

8418063
Oh my... :facehoof::rainbowlaugh: But if my library shelf breaks, the blame is on you! :raritywink:

8418084
blame gladfully taken :ajsmug:

LOL. This had me laughing till my throat hurt.
