All In Good Fun
An E-Rated story with CONTENT WARNING TAGS? WAT?
Well, that was the writing prompt for this.
Basically -- this plays with the idea that gamer slang doesn't inherently mean what it says literally, but if taken literally, applies to serious content warnings. But it's all in good fun.
The story originally had all content warning tags, but then I decided to remove the ones that were more "graphic" -- the point is across. You can have an E rated story with content tags,
It’s an amazing day in Ponyville, specifically for you. After all, tonight is one of your favorite days of the week, ever since you found yourself in Equestria about two months ago. You find yourself at the head of a fairly long dinner table in Twilight’s Crystal Castle, surrounded by your best friends: Fluttershy, Rarity, Twilight, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack, and that dumb dragon, Spike.
But even the presence of Spike can’t ruin Game Night! Each of the mares have brought different refreshing beverages and tasty treats. The spirits in the room are high, and you’re genuinely shocked at how nice a time you can have with friends without alcohol. The cards are dealt. The game is set, and for the first time ever, you’re introducing ponykind to a wonderful, wholesome family game from Earth: Uno.
There will be no survivors of what you’ll unleash upon this land.
“So, I just match the color or the number?” Spike asks.
“Yeah,” you say, snickering to yourself. “It’s that simple.”
Little did the dragon know that this is the game that tore families apart. Destroyed Friendships. Started and Ended wars. Discord would probably find it funny. Maybe.
“Alright,” he says, slapping a green two over the blue two that started the game. Cards soon begin to fall in rhythmic fashion on the stack in the center of the players. Twilight flips the cards past each other, ordering and reordering them according to some strategy she must be calculating. Rainbow Dash leans back, cards against her chest, giving a cocky smile as she watches the game unfold. Almost like a poker player. That’s an idea for another week. Rarity idly chats with Pinkie Pie, barely looking at her cards. She never really was invested in game night.
You put down a green to keep the game going when it comes to your turn, but you can already feel the power within you grow stronger and stronger.
Sitting in your hand, is the Draw 4 Wild card. The little yellow pegasus beside you has no idea the surprise nuclear attack that awaits her later on in the game.
Fluttershy hums along to herself after your turn, placing down a card to skip Spike.
“Wow. Good Card Fluttershy,” Spike says encouragingly. “This game is pretty cool!”
“Get wrecked, Spike.” you interject at him, playfully.
The six ponies stop and look up at you.
“Spike didn’t get injured, Anon. Isn’t that a weird thing to say in a card game?” Twilight says, laying down a card.
“Oh. Right. Earth sayings aren’t normal here,” you say. “Well, uh. It basically meant he was pushed in a losing position. Gamer slang.”
“Oh! I think I get it. Let me try” Rainbow says, looking down at her cards. She changes the color in play to yellow. “Get WRECKED, Rarity!”
Rarity plays a yellow card and shrugs.
“I don’t feel very wrecked, Darling.”
“Not quite, Rainbow,” you say encouragingly “You’ll get there.”
“I find it so interesting that you have no trouble picking up our normal sayings in Ponyville, but we constantly struggle to pick up your sayings from Earth.”
“Yeah, it’s weird,” you reply to Rarity. “It’s probably because of memes.”
“Memes?” Twilight asks.
“That is a can of worms I couldn’t possibly explain to you in 1000 words or less, Twilight.”
Twilight nods as Pinkie lays her card down.
Once again, it’s your turn. Now then. Time to play a simple yellow and-- Wait. Oh no. You don’t have a yellow. In fact, you don’t even have a card to match Pinkie’s eight.
Rainbow didn’t wreck Rarity. She wrecked you.
Well. It’s as good of a time for drastic action now, rather than later. It’s time for your trump card. It’s time to demolish the poor, unsuspecting pegasus beside you. You slam down the Draw 4 wild.
“I GOT YOU BLUE. SUCK IT, FLUTTERSHY.”
The room goes dead silent. Then every voice in the room bursts to life at once.
“Spike, go to your room,” Twilight says instantly.
“B-but there are other ponies here,” Fluttershy mumbles.
“That’s totally inappropriate!”
“Ooh! I didn’t know it was THIS kind of party.”
“Wait, wait!” you call against the storm of angry pony voices. “That’s not what I meant!”
“I will not tolerate the implications of bodily harm or forcing ponies to….” Twilight’s voice trails off, a gag rising in her throat.
“That’s not-- It’s just a thing from Earth! A gamer thing!”
“Well it’s disgusting!” Rarity barks. “I don’t care if it IS a normal thing on your home planet. There are some things you JUST DON’T SAY.”
“Oh my God,” you say, sitting back in your chair, covering your face. “Just kill me.”
“Please don’t hurt yourself,” Fluttershy says, placing a hoof on your leg. “That’s a major overreaction.”
“That’s a permanent solution to a temporary problem!” Rainbow says. “Trust me. It gets better.”
“No, that’s…”
You look up to the girls, then let out a deep sigh.
“I swear, it’s like I’m speaking a different language to you ponies sometimes.”
“Well, on the bright side,” Twilight interjects. “We know you didn’t mean any harm. Let’s just chalk this up to one big misunderstanding.”
The girls all nod and add approving tones as they look from each other to you.
“Well, thank you,” you say. “Let’s continue the game.”
Fluttershy smiles, draws four cards, then puts down a card.
You turn to Fluttershy and lower your voice to her.
“Now what was that you were saying earlier? About other ponies being around?”
But your question is drowned out as Spike chuckles to himself loudly. He pulls a card from his hand and raises it high in the air.
“I’m about to end this Princess’s whole career.”
He slams the card down on the table. Another Draw 4 Wild.
“Green, Twilight.”
In one magical flash, the table lifts into the air and lands upon the purple dragon. A little dragon claw flails at the edges of the furniture on top of him.
“I don’t like this game anymore,” Twilight says. “Anypony up for Settlers of Pontan?”
You nod. After all, Uno isn’t for everyone. And after what you saw, you’ll do whatever the Wild Hor-ses.

I do not trust you.
10019107
prob smart tbh
I refuse to not be a part of this Schrodinger's Cat experiment.
Update: I did not regret this. You have gained my eternal trust.
That's a spicy meatball.
Ending a game with a Wild plus 4 is like using your strongest move on an enemy with 1 HP
10019155
Yes it is. I did that my sister once, and I got choked out for my troubles
Did you...did you write that whole thing...just for that last line? You fiend!
10019155
It's also like using an Earthquake to kill somebody in Shellshock Live.
10019260
Feghoot Fever can have a very long incubation period.
I shudder to think of what it will be like if Anon introduces 'Cards Against Humanity'
After the “broken bindings” read? I’m sorry, but no, i do not trust you at all Flutterpriest,
I will however read this,
10019332
This needs to be a thing that happens,
>Sex
>Fetish
>Death
>Violence
>Anon
>E-rated
... I'm really gonna regret reading this, but I have to just to see how you can fit those tags with an E rating
Damn, flutters' wild!
10019125
You'll regret that, dearly.
If there is anything I have learned during my time here, it's to never trust the tags.
I'm somewhat dissapointed and yet relieved that this is pretty innocent
10019169
But it's still oh-so-satisfying!
Uno is a great game, dont let this story make you think otherwise.
Great story Priest boy.
10019288
The ultimate disrespect is to kill someone on 10 hp or less with a sniper shot.
Flutterpriest asking me to trust them.... Yup! Im that gullible!
Edit: I feel ripped off. You should have STARTED with Settlers of Pontan Sigh.
Anon should get them to play monopoly, Ponyville will be a burning husk by the end of it
10019155
is there any other way to kill an enemy
This was just too good to pass up on as a fun little short! The tags and misleading was absolutely perfect in how ya executed it! Mix of characters was awesome, the content ahh JUST EVERYTHING! Everything is perfect! Hope ya didn't mind, but I couldn't help myself! I had to make a little reading on this!

(I don't mean to offend anyone with this comment!)
10020038
Not offended at all! I'm just happy I can share it. :)
Monopoly or Diplomacy would be better games to mess with the ponies.
... Someone needs to go to the bad pony corner.
10019155
Deeply satisfying without being rated M for Mature?
10020254
No, that would go straight to an M rating where Twilight shows what an alicorn can do with internal organs.
Y'uno, I really didn't expect this to be Rated E at first.
Only you, Priesty. Only you.
upvoted and favourite'd
Did you come up with the pun at the end? If so, ur such a God
Suck it, Red!
Absolutely brilliant.
YOU MOTHERFUCKER.
YOU SAW THE OPPORTUNITY AND TOOK IT!
WHY THE FUCK DID I NOT SEE IT COMING.
SHUT UP AND TAKE MY LIKE AND FAVOURITE
Ah, foreign idioms. Always tricky. Though now I wonder what graphic sayings ponies might spout when not laboring under a TV-Y rating. I imagine bits and bridles feature heavily.
And I do love how the title refers to both Anon's exclamations and the content of the story. Nice work!
10020254
I swear, those, Uno, Catan, and Mario Party make up five of the Elements of Disharmony. The sixth is presumably kept sealed in Satan's rumpus room.
Well, Fluttershy? Your place or mine?
10021215
Don't forget Mario Kart, a few shell throws and everyone is each other's mortal enemy.
Ahh, memes. When you say something that means one thing, but you mean an entirely different thing. Culture clash follows. Gotta watch your gamer slang in a new culture, because that's still a tame one.
How the fuck do you have this marked as E for Everyone yet you have almost every tag for a Mature audience?
I do believe that Uno would kill the harmony of the land, and Discord would love the game....
I'm not the first and won't be the last to comment on that tag combination. What I'm curious about, though, is: Does this story exist because you wanted to tag an E-rated story with those warnings, or did the tagging come later?
Edit: And I see I've been spawn camped by the author's note.
Well played.
Ahhh... ummmm... mmmm...
That was some of the sexiest shit I've ever seen
Uno, Monopoly, Diplomacy, Mario Kart, Mario Party, and Catan: the Friendship Armageddon Deluxe Edition™ pack. When you want to not only send a message to your now ex-friend, but to their next of kin as well!
That ending Wah-wah.
Fun fact I suck it on a daily basis.... Losing at games of course.
I swear my brother has a fouler mouth than me after getting Discord(the program) than I did after 4 years in the army. And he gets LOUD.
10022844
Maybe he's practicing for a career in the navy?
10022418
Ting, tang, walla-walla bing bang!
10021215
That just resurrects all sorts of questions about why bits and bridles would be a thing in a predominately equine society. But by all means, continue.
