Well shit Rainbow is gonna learn cultural differences the hard way

This story is amazing

“Gilda!” John said in an almost happy tone as he slid off the bench to his hooves. “Wanna come over and play some video games? We got DOOM.”

Which one?
DOOM, DOOM 2, Ultimate DOOM, Final DOOM, DOOM 64, DOOM 3, DOOM 2016 or DOOM VFR?

I know there's a bunch more, but I'm only counting the ines that are actually WORTH mentioning.

10063177
yes

10063177
Yes.

Well at least SOME of the ponies are being reasonable about everything. Lyra and Pinkie for one actually politely asking "Hey, want to be in a Herd? No? Okay then." Them having parallels to earth media is interesting I must say, though Spike seems to be knowledgeable about human media if his bit about comics is anything to go by.

10063177
I see you are also a man of culture.

Love most of the DOOM games. Still waiting for Steam or GOG to get a port of 64.

DOOM 3 and VFR are trash, though, compared to the others.
DOOM3 is too... disconnected. It just didn't FEEL like a DOOM game.

VFR (for PSVR) was fine in oncept, but was executed poorly. Using the Move controllers forces you to use that vomit inducing 'teleport' mechanic. The Aim controller is disorienting, because it shows both hands separated, rather than being on the guns. And using the dualshock in VR is just stupid.
And that's not a 'just VR' thing.
Skyrim VR I played without getting headaches, because it let you choose how you move, teleport or walking.
Borderlands 2 VR didn't disorient, because ALL guns were held with BOTH of the character's hands, even the pistols, so it felt natural.
Why did DOOM VFR have to be stupid about it?

10063177
I was thinking DOOM 2016. XD

Very well done. Another great story from Sanguine.

I love well written RGRE stories. (harder to find than you think)

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoy it.

Lorraine surprised the heck out of me at the end. It takes quite some maturity and a cool head to do the right thing right then.

It's also good to see that the one dimensionality was just first impressions and that the characters are actually people, at least up to now.

The culture conflict promises to be interesting, and I'm curious to see just how will AJ be portrayed as both traditionalist and human.

Lorraine is genre savvy, as far as MLP is concerned, she does feel bad for what happened as she at the very least respects Rainbow Dash but at the same time she was upset over the level of discrimination she's been getting from simply not being a pony.

However, the noodle dragon is the type to ignore and bottle up her feelings because she feels like she has to deal with it herself. And there's also the fact that Sanguine and I want to keep this relatively lighthearted, or at least somewhat shitpost-y.

Most of this fic is us going "Ok, it's RGRE, but just Equestria. So, what would other cultures be like and how would that change an episode of the show?"

it's a breath of fresh air to see characters actually talk
kudos my dude keep it up

Surprisingly, or unsurprisingly, all the streamers and balloons were Rainbow Dash colors

So... all the colors then?

“Bluuuh!” John leaned away immediately, only to be pulled into a strong hug. “Lorraine, aggressively apologetic pony! Halp!”

I can visualize this happening way too easily in Equestria...

“I have no fuckin’ idea how relationships work on our end. There’s so many conflicting ideas of what’s right that we kinda just narrowed it down to. If there’s issues, we can talk them out. We’re adults. We support each other. That sort of thing.”

Probably one of the healthier takes on how to manage relationships I've seen in quite some time.

Nice chapter, I liked how you added Gylda into the mix.
Good work.

I'm actually working on Hazbin crossover fic.

10100648
As in "Its out" or your still making chapter one? Ps does it involve ALESTOR? Nvm answered the first part for myself.

10100774
Still working on it, got a bit of writers block for it though, not to mention my current health issues making writing difficult but yeah, it will involve The Radio Demon along with a couple other characters.

I'm guessing you're a fan of Hazbin as well?

10101244
Yes :)

10103008
Nice. Hazbin Hotel is just fun, there's so many little details you miss the first time watching.

10104645
Yep!!!!!

10104645
Also I'm kinda hoping someone makes a ALESTOR displaced.

10109091
Alastor? that kind of story would be awesome, to be honest.

10109091
Counter idea- ponies accidentally summon a demon.

10111903
.....I see The Ponies hating what happens next.

10111904
Depends on which demon gets summoned.

Just imagine Charlie in Equestria, that kind of fic would be so cute.

10112552
Okay that would be nice but I was thinking in regards to my previous involving Alestor.

10112556
Well yeah, that's a dark comedy that writes itself because it's Alastor and he's awesome.

If I was well enough I'd write a mini-series about Hazbin characters getting summoned to Equestria.

10112577
Again I just want to see someone do an Alestor Displaced and am disappointed that no one has yet.

10112580
Eh, to each their own.

10113606
Agreed.

Hope you find the time to work on this more.

Wait, if John is a bug, then how comes he didn't disguise himself as a mare or another luck dragon when he walked into town?

“Ya know, fuck it. Sure.” Gilda shrugged and walked over to the bug.

A nice gilda, i like that.

10254394
He didn't know he was one. And he still doesn't know how to shapeshift

“Because ponies are racist by nature.” Lyra said bluntly.

Which is kinda funnyreally sad, given how much they like to preach about friendship and harmony

Lorraine looked up from her plate of food. “Heads up, it’ll probably go to shit.”

I believe it

“Eh, don’t worry about it.” Lorraine shrugged. “Kinda used to it at this point.”

That's not really a good thing you know
