Just a writer who loves cartoons. Thorax and Pharynx enthusiast. Also, I love Embrax.

Sequels1

E

When Thorax brings his brother, Pharynx, on a trip to Ponyville, he runs into Ember. While spending time with her, Pharynx nearly goes insane from their seemingly lovey-dovey conversations.

“I hope the Aswang didn’t make its way toward your kingdom. It’s one of the most deadly creatures on this earth. It’s been known for eating young creatures, stealing eggs, and shapeshifting into small animals to seem harmless so it can attack easier.”

Oh Thorax, if only you knew what Philippines has in store for you when it comes to that kind of mythical creatures, Aswangs 🇵🇭 :pinkiecrazy:

Finally, Pharynx snapped. “Okay, I get it! You two are perfect for each other! Why don’t you just go get married already?!”

Five minutes later, Pharynx regrets saying it as they are back at Twilight's castle, doing exactly that.

Is it possible for a heart to warm while it's owner cracks up? It seems so.

“Oh, for Chrysalis’ sake,” Pharynx muttered as he massaged his temples.

I don't know why I like this particular line so much, but I like it XD Overall, fantastic story!

This was nice.

Is this a One-Shot? It seems to lack a proper ending.

That said, I can see Ember being into sweeter, more soft-spoken males, and Thorax was gloriously awkward in this. :rainbowlaugh: Embrax is an interesting ship, and not without political implications. I'd love to see it explored more often in fanfics.

YYYYYYYYYYYYEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS...

I was thinking of writing a sequel with a bit more lovey-dovey (and therefore more Pharynx torture :pinkiecrazy: ). I honestly had no idea how else to end this besides what’s there now. The situation was technically all from Pharynx’s point of view, so I figured it ended when he left the room.

I love the pairing Embrax. I knew I’d ship it once Triple Threat came out, and darn it, I was right. They have such great chemistry, and balance each other well, I think. Plus, they almost fought when first meeting each other, and that’s kinda my guilty pleasure :twilightsheepish: But yeah, it’s a great ship with a fair amount of fanart on Derpibooru (which I visit frequently), but no fanfiction at all on here, so I decided to try my hand at it (but I couldn’t help but write Pharynx too, cause he’s terrible and I love him)

Wait...a shapeshifter...is the Aswang actually a disguised Changeling?

8852971
No, but they have similar powers. They’re really creepy.

8852936
I’m so glad you enjoyed it!! It really warms my heart to see that people like my work! :twilightsmile:

8852971
Given that Aswangs are an Indian kind of vampire or ghoul, I could see the Aswang being some kind of undead changeling.

Either that, or it's good ol' Chryssie in disguise.

(Looks up Aswangs)
(Immediately regrets it)

Welp, that'll be showing up in my dreams tonight.

In any case, lovely bit of Embrax fluff. And the muffins made the concept of Lunchlady Derpy pop into my head, and I'm not sure what to do with it. Thank you for a lovely little story.

8853185
Hmm ... food for thought :moustache: :duck:

8853217
I’ve been hoping that you would read this actually. Since I read your comments on other stories, I find you have good points.

Now I want to see Derpy as a cafeteria lunchpony in the show. :rainbowlaugh:

The mention of an Aswang came from a thought that Ember might be the type to brag about her accomplishments to her friends. So I looked up information about terrifying mythological creatures that weren’t already on MLP, and that showed up and I was like “This is creepy and I love it.”

I’m so glad you enjoyed it! Embrax needs more love.

8853217
Yeah no kidding. I thought an Aswang was just gonna be a sophomoric entry on Urban Dictionary. Nope, that's going right into my D&D campaign.

8848005
what could be worse than that?

8853217
*looks it up*
Meh, it's only a little creepy. The Smooze gave me a nightmare way back when, but that stuff is an anti-civilization threat, anything lower can say hello to dream-me's phasers, nuclear weapons, ships, shields, oh and sensors to boot. Come to think of it, my dreams after watching The Thing weren't all that bad because in them I managed to diplomance it by fusing with it, that was fun. :rainbowlaugh::facehoof: my dreams are weird.

This made Ember's threat towards Thorax in the second episode feel really awkward now. Makes me wonder if she just wanted to claim the Changeling Kingdom...and its king for her own hoard.

8854328
I honestly think that Ember’s outburst came from her habit of jumping to conclusions when she feels like someone is threatening her or another dragon (in that case, she thought Smolder was stolen by the other creatures). I don’t think she was using her better judgment when she accused Thorax. Thorax was honestly the only one thinking straight :facehoof:

Plus, this oneshot might take place a few months later or so, when Ember and Thorax know each other a little more.

But ... it is kinda funny to imagine Ember being so greedy :rainbowlaugh:

Oh you know the usual, Manananggal, Kapre, Tikbalang, Nuno,and the other ones that you might rethink your life choices before going to sleep :pinkiecrazy:

this had so much d'awwww. good work

8854264
Man, if only anti-civilization and larger things plague your nightmares, you need to read some SCPs.

8858304
Ah, THOSE usually say hello to the elements of harmony, which inevitably downshift the threat level of the memetics into "harmless but annoying viral heartsong"

Oh yeah. Look up Aswang and try and tell me it isn’t terrifying.

Kinda wanna but no matter how I try to say it, Aswang keeps sounding like a synonym for Buttweiner

8860335
I ... honestly have no response to that :twilightoops:

I did not know I needed this in my life until just now

Short, but cute. May have benefited from some more inner monologues by Pharynx, preferrably something war-related, but enjoyable as is, regardless :twilightsmile:

This story was way too short and not a lot happens the shame because this story I could have had so much potential in depth with the characters that you decided to put in the story

8900533
I’m sorry to disappoint in that respect. I’ll keep that in mind in my writing. I hope you’ll give future stories another chance (just not my old ones because they’re like 4 years old and really bad :p). Thank you for being honest. :twilightsmile:

I will give your new stories a read:twilightsmile:

You can never have enough Pharynx~ It's always fun to see how people write him, in comparison to how I do, how the show does, etc. :derpytongue2: Hopefully we'll be seeing more of him on-screen, with lines! Lots of sarcastic lines!

This was great.
You sure got laughs out of me, especially when Pharynx lost it

Dawg'on it this is adorable:pinkiehappy:

I would scream in delight if he made another appearance. God knows I love him. I screamed when he made a cameo in School Daze. :rainbowkiss:

“Then, I grabbed its front limbs and threw it out of sight. And that’s how I single-handedly defended the dragons from the monstrous Aswang!” Ember boasted. “It hasn’t crawled its way back since.”

Filipino shapeshifter? Neato.

Absolutely adorable.

Thanks!

And yep, I had to try and find a terrifying creature that wasn't already in MLP, so I did some research and found ... that. :rainbowlaugh:

“Should’ve thought of that before making lovey-dovey eyes at Ember while I was still around,” Pharynx hissed bitterly. He left the room in a huff, leaving a very confused Thorax and a very embarrassed Ember.

Back at the castle, Pharynx apologizes to thorax and ember for what happened earlier.

Man, I could relate with Pharynx in more ways than one, especially when it involves going to places out of some obligation and force to wait. 😑 not fun times.

This was SOOOO worth reading! Let me know if you ever make more! :scootangel:

Hehe. The problems of being a tagalong
