Human. Writer. Bearded. Feel free to chat with me.

Everyone wants to be able to relax once in a while and not think about things for a bit.

Twilight's made it into a science.

Silly Twilight... and poor, poor Spike. Sunset, be sure to stay in touch with her regularly, for everyone's sake.

Lovely drabble. Thank you for it.

Darn it SciTwi, there are better ways to turn your brain off. Like going to the spa, or hiking in the mountains. Or using the thing Sunset found on your desk next to your alarm clock and laptop. Don't actually turn off your brain!

Thanks for the morning laugh.

Godspyre not-really-plug time: I have Pony Twilight's brain stolen by Carmen Sandiego, who is subsequently caught at the taco joint that the actual Godspyre character had staked out on the off chance that Carmen or a pony analogue would show up. P-Twilight then designs a spell for temporarily replicating that event because she'd never realized how exhausting it was to be herself until then.

P-Twilight as a name comes courtesy of 9959517. The man has plenty of courtesy to spare. >_>

faded vibrating phallic object

I choose to believe this is a Beanis.

Is this one of those spoiler alert it IS brain surgery type things?

So, she achieved Zen without all that boring meditation stuff?

I'll neither confirm nor deny that theory.

Amazing. Such an invention, and it is not used for shenanigans, pranks or lewds.

Huk

Short, quick, with a good idea, and a nice execution. Love it :twilightsmile:

*throws money at screen*
damn it, why does the helmet not appear?!?

I could use one myself

I could DEFINITELY do with an off switch for my brain. Sci-Twi, think you could lend me that helmet of yours? I feel like I'm going to need to modify it a little bit for myself. But still, INCREDIBLE job!

Fluttershy wouldn’t not approve of you Twilight.

Hey Twilight, really easy way for you to turn off your brain! It's already been tested, approved, and there were no serious side-effects aside from grogginess afterwards!

It's called "taking a damn nap".

So Twilight developed a far more extreme version of Brian Aldiss's "The Pause Button"?

This was a very fun and touching story. A good reminder to us all that it's most always better to talk this out than to go it alone.

And poor Spike!

This is appropriate for both the story and the Author's Notes:

:trollestia: A timer? How about the clapper instead of a regular switch?
:pinkiehappy: Clap on clap off the clapper!

Wasn't this a Jimmy Neutron episode?

“Sunset, I’m a scientist.” Twilight said flatly. “I’d never be reckless enough to try something without extensive testing. Isn’t that right, Spike?”
A small purple dog whimpered and shrank as far back into the corner of the room as possible.

“I’ll admit Spike wasn’t the biggest fan of the prototype, but he regained use of his legs after a few days. And he got dog-safe ice cream as a reward once his tongue stopped swelling!”

Cue Sunset chuckling nervously and calling PETA...

It sort of was. There was an episode where Jimmy felt ostracized by his peers because of his huge head/brain. So he made a brain drain helmet to make himself normal.

Stuff backfired and he fixed it. But yeah.

Some people find it rather difficult to fall asleep when their mind is racing a mile a minute. And if you're the sort of person who is prone to vivid anxiety dreams, it may be outright counterproductive.

This was some silly fun!

PETA is closer to being literally Hitler than actual Neo-Nazis are. At least in the sense that Hitler would be more likely to join the former than the latter if he was somehow resurrected. (He renounced the latter with a bullet to his own brain, he never renounced the animal rights and veganism stuff that he also believed in)

9961330
I don't think he renounced Nazism. I think he "renounced" being held accountable for his actions by his enemies, especially the Russians.
What might get Hitler denouncing the Neonazis is that they don't universally hate Jewish people.

PETA has a similar fanatacism, but for causes that Hitler considered less important than his beliefs in white supremacy, genocide, and the rest. (If he considered it so important, he would have mandated vegetarianism.)

More that he renounced any hope of it ever succeeding. He lost, completely, and had just enough sanity to realize it.

9961330

Sorry, I meant that as a joke.

9962111
There's no need to apologize, the downvote was someone else.

9962107
You might be right. To at least some degree, we're seculating on the mindset of one of the worst people in history, and I don't think we can say with total confidence the reasons behind some of his later actions.

Twilight: Okay, no more off switches.

Sunset: Good - you have no idea what I might be tempted to do to your helpless, unresponsive body.

Twilight: W-w-what?!

Sunset: I mean, I might be tempted to draw on your face a little, maybe even pose you in a funny way. Why, what did you think I meant?

Twilight: Oh! Er, don't worry about it. Not like I'd resist anyway.

Sunset: What was that?

Twilight: Nothing!

(Wow, that was uncharacteristically suggestive by my standards.)

Gotta agree. When sleep refuses to arrive...An off-switch is just the thing

I heard Twilight got the idea after watching an episode of Keeping Up With the Kardashians. :rainbowwild:

Wonderfully funny, but... Why?

“I made an off switch!” Twilight beamed at her friend as though she’d created the best thing in the last decade.

Which also sounds dangerous to be completely honest. :applecry:
