10354847 In ten seconds flat one might say. Wow that was dark given the context. Sorry about that. But yeah, Rainbow goes all in all the way all the time.
...Weeeeeell... ...So, how long until the first murder, I'm wondering? On the ""plus"" side, Rainbow, I'm not sure you could get away from the Entity now if you wanted to; I think it's probably waiting to take you to see just how far you'll go, and how much... preparation for your new job you'll do to yourself all on your own. Oh dear.
I don't know what's more sad and terrifying, the fact that rainbow has become an addict or the fact that she is trying to build Freddy Krueger's claw in a unstable state... either way someone's going to get hurt real bad real soon
My god. Her descent was great and chilling to read. Loved how the pieces were revealed to us. You always 'pick' on Rainbow Dash but I know it's because you see her story potential.
You're really building a universe here and setting up so many pieces for your big sequel! So many side stories in between two longer stories. At this rate I think I want a physical print of all of this. Not sure if the audience is there but it deserves said audience!
The opposite happened to me here compared to another of your Dead by Sunset stories, I was sure this was finished now. But no! It's incomplete still! I'm terrified in the good way to see where this goes! I know it's not marked horror but that sense of dread is still permanently present throughout this so far.
There were lots of familiar elements here from the familiar lore you use in your other stories about EqG Canterlot' layout and "runners". It makes the whole world feel familiar to me. So I'm strangely comfortable in this dark, cold universe you've crafted.
10360596 I'm glad you're enjoying the side-stories. I feel like I need to relink that blog I wrote where I explain how, 'no, really, I really don't hate Rainbow Dash', because I really just kick the dog with her.
This here, by the by, is why I was so ambivalent about writing Dead by Midnight. Because I knew all along it would involve a massive time skip, and that would require a ton of extra work. Dead by Sunset was relatively self-contained, but Dead by Midnight was always going to be significantly heavier. Also if I'm being honest, I didn't actually intend this to be this long, but the moment I start writing it the words just poured out. Rainbow's story just sort of exploded, and now it's really turning into its own story. It occurs to me, actually, that this is the first time I've really written Rainbow Dash as a protagonist. It's certainly the first time I've written from her perspective not counting the few sections of DBS where she had perspective parts.
As for the familiar feeling of Canterlot, that's actually been a long-running goal of mine. I purposefully write in the same version of Canterlot, just slightly different timelines. In the same way that Manehattan is the EQG version of New York, my headcanon is that Canterlot is the EQG version of Chicago, and I try to keep that cohesive.
Actually, I wanted to skip this side-story first. I'm glad I didn't. Dark. Strong. And it's only going to get worse, isn't it? The only thing that bothers me is where are Rainbow's friends? I can't believe they didn't look for her and check out Sunset's (now - Rainbow's) hideout.
Jesus Christ she went downhill real fast
Definitely earning that dark tag. I gotta say I'm enjoying Rainbows descent into madness, curious to see where this is goin.

Yeeees. More of your Dash to make me anxious about! Love it man, always looking forward to more DBD content from ya.
Hmmm...will we see Dash turn into a creepypasta?
