We’ve got dents and we’ve got quirks, but it’s our flaws that make us work.

A lot has changed since Tirek's first reign of terror, and he didn't have time to absorb the culture last time he was free.

He's still not sure he can absorb it now.

Ha, I love it. Tirek's really old and unlike Grogar, didn't have the benefit of a crystal goat eye ball to keep up to date.

Yeah, that's what I was thinking too.

Ha! Tirek so old. He's so old that he's...

... uh

He's... older than... me?

The devil filly looked at Tirek, then the thing, then went back to poking at it. “Nah, fam, I'm shuttering with my bros.”

I'm going to preemptively declare "Goddammit, Syeekoh" at this point.

... Yes, yes, I'm glad I did. Though I now kind of want a story of Luna and Tirek commiserating over how quickly the world passed them by while they were indisposed.

This turns out backfiring on them when Grogar tell them the plan and Cozy shares it all on Shutter, forgetting that Twilight, The Student Six, and a large number of her other "friends" from the school all still follow her.

Also, typo at the very beginning. Although I do suppose that Tirek likely is "tired" as well.

Is... Is it wrong that I identify entirely with Tirek in this story?

Not at all.

Well I guess you can say that Tirek is probably never going to understand the internet because if he asks that kind of question then he must come from a time we’re there was no internet or phones.
Also I think I pulled a muscle from containing my laughter when I read this.

But what if the whole arcanet was made of bean paste?

Would it matter if you needed a BEANER account to connect to the beanet?

Oh God please no

“We're behind seven proxies,” Grogar's voice trailed off into the depths.

It's been literal years since I've encountered the phrase "seven proxies." Grogar's only slightly less out of touch...

chapter two when? :pinkiesmile: seriously, this concept has a lot that can be exploited.

Heh.

I mainly wrote this to clear out the cobwebs a bit.

I may revisit this concept in a sequel.

A sequel about beans or semen I bet.

Shut up and take my money.

Some days I know how Tirek feels.

“We're behind seven proxies,”

It's the little things that count.

I don't know what that means. Am I old too?

Don't be silly, Luna's been spying on everyone's dreams for over a thousand years and is surely up to date on all the dank memes. She probably got herself a massive social media presence the instant she got back to Equestria, assuming she couldn't get reception on the moon and didn't have one already.

I very rarely venture into fanfic based on recent canon, but I'm glad I did for this. I never knew until now how much I needed a story about Tirek trying to understand the internet.

You know, I’ve been reading this comment for a bit, and I have to say that it’s probably my favorite comment ever.

I feel you; didn't recognize it, either.

Like most things I don't get on sight, it turned out to be a meme.

I am contractually obligated to-

Tirek, the ultimate grumpy old man.

Having myself been forced by necessity to set up a Facebook account (entirely because I need it for my business, I otherwise don't Social Media)), I can deeply sympathise with Tirek. I don't get it all, either.

We're old, we knew exactly what you meant with "7 proxies". Also, that's so out of style, you want blockchain now! :P

I love this :D
Poor Tirek has a out of time experience..
Not even knowing what a the Arcanet or a shutter account is and I was laighing so hard he did not even know what a telephone is xD
Brilliant simply brilliant

I wouldn't be surprised that Tirek was less "up-to-date" than members of a typical Amish community. :rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

Pfft, hahaha... I only have a Facebook account to log into sites more easily. Aww...

Tartarus does NOT have Rumspringa.

Tirek really suits this delightfully outdated mindset. For some reason the idea of company phones hit me the hardest, but I was snorting laughing throughout! :pinkiehappy:

Can't believe I hadn't read this already.

I had so much fun writing Tirek in this fic you have no idea.
