Dodgy foundry? AJ is going to have a real smashing time there.
That simulation is real bugging me. Either they only got two dozen raw recruits and noone who knows anything about running a base, or they got someone experienced and in charge who doesnt mind sacrificing a few minions to lure invaders deep into an unescapable trap. Just like the vast expanses of China itself?

WTF is wrong with you?
11664372
If you even try doing that, you're gonna get banned.
11664372
Sunset. Is not. A whore. She is a traumatized teenager stuck in a negative feedback loop who is coping in the best way she knows how. I can't believe I have to say this, but there are no therapists in the Capital Wasteland. And I know what you're thinking: what about talking to her friends? No dice! They're all looking to her for leadership, leading to the idea that she can't show weakness, leading to even more stress. Everyone is hurting, everyone is scarred, and everyone is doing what they can to cope.
She isn't a whore. She's just crazy, like everyone else.
11664405
I already did, and I preemptively blocked him.

it's true to the actual simulation, and tbf, it's american made, of course they want to show the chinese as incompetant.
11665430
And I though MAIKUN from MLPForums was bad
11666147
and who do you think you are?
11664970
Seems like it. He keeps jumping around with different chapters, with barely a break in between comments. It's like he's purposefully just skipping to any mention of Sunset, with no regard to arcs or plot.
Ah yes, the Steelyard. That cesspool of fetch quest wonders.
11664970
I've actually read all 195 chapters, i didn't skip any chapter, also yes, i kinda want the Sunset power fantasy, she is my favorite character, the author fucked up in the begging of the story, especially when Sunset fucked some random dude or when she pissed herself, and that is so disrespectful to Sunset, and let's not forget the fact that he for some reason decided to bring corpse party into this. worst ideea ever. I'm just happy that he decided to forget that, but i like where the story is going. After the enclave and brotherhood pace treaty the story got real good, and yes, there are sone pov that makes no sense and there are so many of them that sometimes is hard to keep track of them, but overall it's good.
i want to see Sunset being badass, as she should be, but i don't want her to be some all powerfull being, i like to see how she commands everyone in battle like when they took the library, that was very good fight scene and it showed what sunset is capable of when she is the commander of the team, kinda sad she lost an arm or basically a third of her body, but at least she can get a cool robot arm, my only wish is that she has an extended sword like that suit of armor who helped defend the enclave when the super mutants attacked.
I've also been wondering what happened to the madical vortex rainbow went in and it upgraded her battle gear, at one end it would be cool if the rest of the girls get her weapons enchanted, especially Sunset's nova pistol and plasma rifle, imagine the power those guns would have but on the other end i kinda like the ideea of them struggling, them being too powerful would just ruin the story. i like the ideea of them being powerfull but not like the "sword art online" power fantasy, that is just stupid and frankly insulting. the story with Luna and the others is interesting, kinda would like to see more of a reaction from them, especially sinse they started killing, the author made a damn good job of describing what the rainbooms felt after the their first kill, but seem to shrug it off with luna and Trixie, he will probably explore it more in the future and i can't wait to see.
11665428
exactly! Sunset is not a whore, why the author decided otherwise is beyond me, now that I've finished all 195 chapters i see the the story got real good and that sunset is more in control of her emotions, she's also not trying to fuck random dudes and old man anymore so that is a step in a right direction, i don't have a problem with her fucking someone, i have a problem with her fucking some random dude and her flirting with some 35 old dude. Look at Fluttershy and Adam, they are very cute together and it works, and while i understand that Sunset has literally no time to spare, going on missions, attending meetings, working trough her problems bit by bit for her to have a "boyfriend/girlfriend, it would have been nice if she did literally anything else to cope.
And yes i may have been a little bit angry and wrote some mean comments, but Sunset doing that is plain and simple disrespectful to her character. While the wasteland is a crazy fucking place and Sunset being a teenager going from normal to killing on a daily basis in the span of 4-5 months and taking the blunt force of everything, as she is the leader, it still would have been nice for her not to do what she did
11666299
someone who does not want to see Twilight trun into a drug addict
11666711
It's a character flaw and vulnerability. like i said, she is NOT use to violent of this wasteland, of course she lose her cool when she is in life and death stiuatsion, have you ever been shot at? or someone try to murder you? probably not, but you wouldn't think of that. here sunset is, grow from a new fish in the water to a battle hardened veteran, but still not invinsible, now that's a character grow. but that's "disrespectful" wasn't it?
No no, you are just a spoiled brat who raging when you don't get what you want. what the author doing is his call, his vision, not your.
Look at you, throwing insults and curse words around when you don't get your way, look how many people you upset. do you really thing you know better than him?
But he disrespecting your waifu right? how about respecting his decision instead of throw insult everywhere?
Pathetic.
11666721
that'll be good for story. so she can overcome her addiction like Little Pip does.
11666711
You read the whole story and still you don't understand why she is doing that. You're clearly angry because you don't want your waifu to do "bad things", even if it was an expected consequence of surviving in a corrupted world.
11666861
I said it once and I'll say it again, i don't mind Sunset "doing bad things" i just wish it wasn't with some 35 years old guy and a random dude, frankly i don't want her doing any more of that but I'm not all against it.
But no matter, as i belive Primrose will be the one who takes Sunset's hearth
11666853
i don't mind that, like you said, it will make an amazing story but i don't know, i guess I'm that invested in the story and characters and don't want her to become one.
11666750
ok, ok, now that's an argument.
1: you are kinda right that it's his story and not mine, and i MAY have been a little bit "mad" and "annoyed" when i first read that, i admit, especially when the story gets so much better in the later chapters, but that does not mean i can't voice my complaints. should i have done it in a more constructive way and not act like a little bitch? probably, but what is done is done
2: belive it or not, veterans and people who went trough what Sunset is going don't go for sex as a coping mechanism, they mostly become drunks, use drugs or just trow themselves into work like AJ is doing or just hobbies, things that make them not remember the horrors of war or whatever they did to feel that way. my brother for example just trains, like a lot, he sais it keeps him mind occupied, but that might just be the difference in countries, as I'm from Europe and i don't know how Americans cope (i belive the author is American, but if he is of another nationally the argument still stands)
3: are you sure I've never been shot at or someone did try to kill me? frankly i didn't get shot at, but that i have been held at gunpoint, but like I've said earlier that might just been the different mentality, I've fealt fear for my life yes, but i didn't piss myself, even tho i know that can happen fairly often, guess i was just mad she wasn't as badass as i wanted her to be.
overall you are right, i did act like a spoiled brat.
11666906
That second point is borderline racist , and in general it’s falling into pitfalls that there are expected ways for people to cope with trauma. While it’s indeed more common for people to abuse substances and marry to a job, it’s not impossible for some to seek sex as a coping mechanism either. People deal with trauma in different ways. This is another testament of the kickass writhing of this fic: all girls are facing extreme circumstances, and each deal with the trauma in different ways. Pinkie’s brief (as far as we know) suicidal thoughts and Twilight’s extremely violent and sadistic actions hit close to home for me.
11666947
racism
/ˈreɪsɪz(ə)m/
noun
prejudice, discrimination, or antagonism by an individual, community, or institution against a person or people on the basis of their membership of a particular racial or ethnic group, typically one that is a minority or marginalized."
my second point is not racist, and the point that i was trying to make is that i belive you were right with the comment that you previously posted.
still don't like that she fucked a random guy tho
11666993
there, stating people cope with trauma based on region and culture, instead of the individual.
11667000
You would think that, wouldn't you, but no, Americans have weird way of doing things compared to the rest of the world.
I should know, I've been to many countries and continents, I've also been to America for a bit, so i kinda know how they operate. They care for things that should not be cared about, they are the most unreasonable people I've got the unpleasure to meet, and they are just bad people, hell I've met some people that were so bad that i can combine every other shitty people I've met outside of America into one person and it would still not be enough to even reach the level of unpleasantness that some Americans have.
That's why i said that if the author is American, i understand why he thought that most people will react like that when faced with despair and fear, hell, if he is from Ohio then he's probably going trough that himself.
If you think i was a spoiled brat, go to New York and you'll see that in comparison to them i am a saint.
admittedly i am kinda of a shitty person but still, compare to them, nah, I'm good.
And yeah, i know not everyone from there is the same as those nutjobs but damn those people are rare.
But yeah, i apologize for the mean comments I've written, and with that let's leave the past be the past and move on, i feel like this is turning into a conversation i do not have the time nor energy to continue and while i do enjoy to argue with strangers on the internet, i do not wish to proceed any further with this.
11667076
I forgive you, but keep in mind that other might still be bitter at you. you basically been vilified by everyone who read this fic. try to be calm next time you have disaggreement with the author.
11667076
It's amazing you don't realize just how toxic you are.
This is a fan fiction.
It is not serious.
They're all just figments of imagination.
Stop taking it so seriously, and realize that you have become a pariah with your toxic comments.
11667076
Okay, I think it's time we need to get a few things straight.
One of the major symptoms of trauma and PTSD, especially Complex PTSD, is reckless, self-destructive and impulsive behaviour. Drinking and drug-taking are the form most commonly seen in media and TV, but they are far from the only forms of self-destructive behaviour. Such behaviour can also manifest itself in physical, financial, spiritual, emotional and, yes, sexual recklessness, among other things. With Harkness, I made sure to note that Sunset knew he was too old for her, but she couldn't stop herself. As for the tryst with the cultist, Sunset had just come back from a series of horrific situations, including coming face-to-face with the reality of child slavery and child sexual assault, and one of the first things she does is drink. Not only does she drink, but she's having homemade wine on a nearly empty stomach, whereupon she gets attacked yet again. Alcohol and fresh trauma in a person who already has PTSD is a recipe for disaster, and Sunset ends up doing something reckless and impulsive, and realises that she has done something wrong immediately after she does it. Classic trauma response.
As for her wetting herself the one time, let's put that into proper context. She's had a little training and has some decent equipment by that point, but she is then thrust into a literal war zone against highly trained soldiers whose power armour, which was designed to be intimidating, makes them around 7 feet tall and almost invulnerable to small arms fire. She is way over her head, she hasn't got magic that translates well to combat like most of the others, and she literally gets shot before being cornered by one of said terrifying soldiers. At that point she isn't merely scared that she might die, she is faced with the certainty of it. Sadly I've seen someone die before their time up close, and, despite what many movies tell you, most people do not face a situation like that calmly and with dignity, but with absolute terror.
Trauma is a complex thing, and everyone reacts differently, which is part of what makes it so difficult to treat. I was sexually abused as a child, and I'm still dealing with the after-effects of that even now decades later, but I wasn't sure that my experience would translate well to Sunset's situation, so I relied on conversations I had had with a school friend, who joined the military after his education was done, about his experiences. Admittedly, those conversations were over a decade ago, largely because he was killed in Helmand Province in 2009 by an IED, but I doubt the horrors of war have gotten any easier to bear for people since then.
Finally, now that the heavy stuff is dealt with, we've got the last few loose ends. You called Sunset a whore repeatedly, for flirting with one person and sleeping with another? That sort of viewpoint is misogynistic at best. Who cares how a woman unwinds as long as no one gets hurt? The ethical issues were the age gap, her lack of regard for sexual health, and the moral quagmire that comes with sleeping with one of her own cultists, not the fact that she was having sex in the first place.
Also, despite what you seem to think, Sunset is my favourite character, which is why I have her go through so much crap, so me (and my readers) can explore her character and watch her grow through all sorts of different trials and tribulations, and we can see how her experiences are forging her into something much stronger than what she was.
For the record, I'm not from the USA, or any of the countries in the Americas. I'm Welsh. Not of Welsh descent, or have Welsh blood, but was born and bred in Wales. My outlook is distinctly Welsh, and absolutely not British. You call yourself European, but frankly that could mean that you're Scottish, French, Norwegian, Italian, Romani, Iranian, Transylvanian, or even, fortune forbid, English. There's a vast difference in cultures in Europe, so, for once, the USA isn't to blame for this particular clash. The fact that you only toned down the vitriol in your comments and later apologised after a Site Moderator told you to calm your jets also makes your apology seem a little disingenuous, if I'm being honest. Now, you did say you wanted to end this conversation, and I can respect that, but I'm not going to stop others from putting their oar in if they want to. You damn near started a flame war in the comment section, either deliberately or not, so forgive me if I don't rush to grab a hose.
11667905
Ok, here we go, I've actually spent like 30 to 40 minutes to write a detailed comment as to why i reacted the way i did, but i deleted all of it and will just write a short version.
1: Thank god I'm not English
2: My country deals with ptsd and other mental trauma very simple, you trow it in the back of your head and just forget it exists. My understanding was that most of the world deals with said mental problems the same way, except Americans but they are just weird. I would do everything that is necessary to ensure my family is ok, no remorse, if we're talking about Sunset's experience, then it's either you survive or you die, and i chose survival, no matter the price. You have to keep your head in the game or there will be consequences for the ones you love, especially when you are the leader. You can seek mental help after you got out of the situation. I've always believed that Sunset's thinking would be the same, this is why I've said that it's disrespectful the way you wrote Sunset. Of course this is your story and you tell it how you want, and i guess i was just mad that Sunset would actually make such decisions, it makes no sense in doing something like this if it's lowering your chances of survival, and no, your "Sunset is just a teenager" is not a good argument, because you can ask just about any teenager in my country and they will tell you the same, you do what is necessary to protect your family and the ones you love. I can see in the later chapters that you actually adapted this exact mentality to Sunset, and that is good, if you can't do what it takes to protect the ones you are trying to protect, let someone else do the job.
Now, i do apologize for my mean and angry comments, i truly do, however i must make one more. If I, ME, was the sole reason a flame war was almost started, then what the fuck are y'all doing? Let haters be hating and ignore them. You all know how dumb these haters are (me included) just ignore them.
3: I genuinely do enjoy the story, one of the best i have ever read, and i can see that you are a talented writer, but that corpse party incident.. what was that?
Now comes a question, do you want me to delete all my mean comments or should i just leave them be? i can just delete them if you'd like, especially now that I've realized that i was a dick.
This is just half of what i wanted to say in regards to your argument, but it was getting to long, i do enjoy a good argument, even if my English is not that good and i often don't get my point across because i don't know to to write my thoughts to sound coherent but i do enjoy it, if you want to continue arguing i would be more then happy, not out of hate, just the joy of it.
I want to say more in regards to the ptsd, but i feel like we would get nothing done and none of our points would get across.
Don't worry, I'll make sure to not comment anything with hate, all my future comments will be nice and family friendly from now on, mostly because i don't actually have anything to hate anymore. Sunset kinda because the basass she's supposed to be, the story with Luna, Trixie and Sonata is actually really good, tho i will admit i would like to see more of a reaction from them in regards to killing, but I'm sure you will do it in later chapters, the story with AJ and adam is *MUAH* perfection, but even if i will find something i don't like i will just keep it to myself.
Now I'm done.
Still can't believe I've almost started a flame war. god damn priceless
11667805
you right, but don't worry, i already apologized, i see how much of a dick i was
Maaaaan now i am in the same boat and need to wait for the next chapter.. LOVE the story so far and i have become addicted to this story hope to see more soon and take care Universal Librarian!
11668078
Hahaa, been there. Discovered this story, and began religiously reading this until reached the end, and now the wait for each new chapter
11668078
Welcome to the club
11668401
Yeah.. that happened to me haha been reading several chapters some days and most others 2 chapters a day and before i knew it i fully caught up which made me a little sad but at least from what i can see is that the story gets updates regularly :P
11668417
Thanks lol :P
Well, was following the story since chapter 2, all the way up to Regulator HQ. don't remember why I stopped reading but just came back to it and did a full reread, and it's odd being caught up again. The flow is completely different when binging though, as I said in the discord - I remember the Unity arc feeling like it lasted forever, and that really added to the tension of the final assault, but when binging it felt like it was over before it even began.
Going to be some whiplash going back to reading at the pace of uploads.
I just remembered that i still have Sunset's isekai to read and all the stories that are tied to it.. this will keep me occupied until the next chapter lmao
Lady's and Gentleman i am proud to announce, i have reached ch.195.
Now i have two tiny questions:
Is Sunset going to become a Santinel?
How do you want Sunset's robot arm to look? Is it like Sevika from arcane or like Yang from RWBY? I personally believe that Yang's robot arm looks better and if you have another model in mind can you share some reference?
11667994
Hmm... You clearly know nothing about human trauma and PTSD (Really, that's how you deal with it? Uhuh... try that trick on someone else. Mental trauma cannot just be 'forgotten', if you try to do it that way it WILL come back and haunt you later.), so in future I suggest you keep your disgusting opinions to yourself.
"Traveled to many countries". Yeah right. I doubt you ever left your mothers basement.
Have a nice day and stop making an ass of yourself.
11679929
I'm with you on this one.
You know what i wonder? What are they going to do when they get home? They are no longer high-school girls, they are war veterans, with numerous scars to boot, mental and physical. Their lives are war, death and fighting for survival, how are they going to live in a peaceful society? I imagine that Sunset will kill the changeling when they get home, maybe her counterpart but I'm not sure about her. But what about after? Going back to school? Sunset has one third of her body gone will be replaced by prosthetics, Rarity needs a mechanical glove to actually use one of her hands, Rainbow needs a hearing kit to hear, otherwise she is deaf, Fluttershy is literally a vampire, Twilight has that mechanical thing in her back so she can function and not become a vegetable, how are they going to fit in the society when they all went trough so much? I really hope that you show us that, it can be an epilog.
Also when is the next chapter coming?
11680418
Sunset can Shim-Sham my Glim-Glam any day of the week. Lucky raiders.
11680812
Those are some really good questions. I imagine that it's not going to be easy. War veterans irl have a hard time readjusting sometimes.
For them it's going to be so much more difficult, because for normal war veterans, they were only fighting other people, not horrors from beyond the grave and giant death machines.
Hmm... Been rereading and I'm at Chapter 116 right now. I wonder if the part about the protectron that got affected by magic and shot itself in the head is gonna play a role later...
Damn! Two weeks, and I never gave my thoughts on this chapter? Let's remedy that!
I really like the sensory descriptions that you give to The Pitt. Probably the closest to Fallout: Equestria's Fillydelphia I've seen so far. And it seems that AJ and Adam are to be put straight to work! I wonder if they'll be going for more than just the required 10 ingots. Outside of the Steelyard, the rest of The Pitt feels rather cramped, so it's a great place to explore!
The Blue Moons continue to progress in the simulation, and it looks like stealth is going to be their primary weapon. Not a bad choice for civilians!
Keep up the good work!
9051510
Heh. Seems like this plan changed a bit. Would you considder, after completing the story of course, to post a kind of 'deleted scenes' thing?
9434082
'magical fluids'
11670268
Sunset? A sentinel? Who knows... As for her arm, well, GENOS that would be telling.
11671265
That's coming...
11680812
I'm planning on doing a mini-sequel as an epilogue, showing how everyone is getting on, which will then segue into the next fic in the series. The next chapter is on its way, but it's bigger than the others so it's taking a little longer than usual.
11682540
Some of the missing scenes are actually going to be in the Side Stories fic, including things like Adam's pov from start to finish, what the girls got up to while Sunset was in a coma, more broadcasts from Three Dog, a more thorough examination of how certain settlements and factions react to the Rainbooms and other goings on, and probably a plethora of sex scenes that don't really impact character development and so would be considered gratuitous in the main fic. As for what I originally said about Operation Anchorage, that was frankly just a lie because I hadn't revealed that the Moons were going to be joining the story. There are some scenes that I've decided simply don't belong in the fic though, so I'm more than happy to reveal some of those once the story is done, if people are interested of course.
11682826
Genos? HFS that'd be awesome for her!
11682826
Deleted scenes stuff is always fun for me. I like seeing the ideas that never made it in, even if they're incomplete.
As to the Sentinel thing for Sunset? Meh... I know this is based off of a video game that allows the player to fly through the ranks, but for Sunset to become a Paladin as quickly as she has already feels unrealistic for me. Paladins are roughly equivalent to Majors or Colonels IRL (it makes the most sense to me for Paladin to fall somewhere there) and that's at minimum a 15 - 20 year career that Sunset just breezed through in a month or two. If you want to do it that's fine, I'll suspend my disbelief, but; meh...
A GENOS-like arm can be fun though.
11680813
So you’d want her to beat you to death with a tire iron?
