The Sleepless Beholder


I just headbutt the keyboard till my ideas spill out into writing. Sometimes it works.

E

It was supposed to be a normal weekend sleepover at Rainbow’s house, not like the one three weeks ago when they summoned a demon by accident, but the night of fun for the girls got interrupted by a sudden blackout, and if that wasn’t enough, Sunset’s powers went out of control, giving her an insatiable desire to snuggle her friends.

Inspired by the adorable cover art done by DrakeyC

This was adorable and hilarious! Well done! :rainbowlaugh:

What code sliver?

10539824
Thanks, that's exactly what I was going for :pinkiehappy:

Hnngh!!! Those puppy eyes!!! SO CUTE!!! I would definitely give her infinite snuggles!

I really enjoyed this adorable and hilarious snuggle story. xD

I think the horror tag is a bit much. Worse case scenario, they would have ended up in a snuggle pile until the spell wore off. And I fail to see how that's a bad thing. All in all, a most enjoyable read.

10539957
It's more of an ironic thing since it's written in that sense despite being adorable

I'd be running, I don't like snuggles

Edit: I read the story, What the Hay have I seen...

I need a complete list of all Codes.

Oh, this was good! Had some laughs.

Noticing the girls scowl, Sunset’s excited face turned sad. Pouting her lips, she gave Applejack the biggest, brightest puppy eyes as she whispered softly and dejectedly. “Shnuggwes?”

You would have a be an inhuman monster to resist that.

And even they might fail to fight it.

10540068
Adorableness it’s the biggest weapon known in existence

Incoming snuggles!

*kerpounce!* :rainbowkiss:

Make more like this story

Please is so cool

I’ll never understand how people see these guys as cute for the life of me. 🤷🏿‍♂️

Spike is gonna be ok right?

10540201
Yes, he will get better over a few weeks

First: great story
Second: you realize you have to make a squeal
Third: I wonder how many warring codes the girls have

Who knew that snuggles could be so dangerous.

go ahead, call the principle, she cant un-snuggle you.

Isn't that thumbnail one of DrakeyC's derpibooru images?

10540402
No idea who that is, I found it on Google while looking for references to draw Sunset

apparently it's normal for this to happen to Sunset XD

I'd snuggle Sunset.

No worries, I consider it an honor to inspire someone to write. :twilightsmile:

10540584
Thanks man, I will add you to the description as soon as I come back to my computer.

And who could resist that face :rainbowkiss:

10540665
Only a heartless, soulless bastard.

10540305
Well we have
1: code fluffy
2: code silver
3: ???
Yes. Please make a sequel!!! :fluttercry:

This was so silly and so adorable! :yay::heart: I honestly don’t see what the girls were so scared of. I’d give that absolute cutie all the snuggles she wants!:yay::heart:I love Sunset so much!:heart: Also, her magic goes haywire, causing this to happen on a regular basis? Where else do we see this happen, and is it really such a problem? Sounds great to me, just more of an excuse to snuggle this adorable sweetheart! :yay::heart:

And another thing, summoning a demon teddy bear? When did that happen? Was that in another story or just randomly thrown in there? If there’s a story about that, I’d like to read it. And one more thing, I agree with everyone else, there should be a sequel to this!

Fitting. As a point of note the origin of the traditional zombie apocalypse scenario actually came from the smurfs. In 1963 a smurfs comic where one smurf became purple and ornery and started to spread those symptoms to others came out.

10541044

her magic goes haywire, causing this to happen on a regular basis?

Not regularly, more like thrice a full moon at random intervals.

Where else do we see this happen, and is it really such a problem?

The problem comes more in the fact that you lose control of yourself and as shown in the story, you don't have much self-preservation. Also, they still don't know exactly what makes it stop, so the risk of being permanent coud be real.

Maybe, if they manage to control it, they could have snuggle sessions during sleepovers.

10541052

summoning a demon teddy bear? When did that happen? Was that in another story or just randomly thrown in there?

It was thrown in there to show that this kind of thing is not that uncommon for the girls.

As for a sequel, if i come up with some good idea I will do it, but for now this is a oneshot.

Funny that they have alert codes for all of this stuff. Kinda curious what triggers a Code Fluffy, and how often they've had to deal with it.

That was the cutest horror story I've read in quite some time.

what the hell did i just read

10541509
Just an inocent slumber party with posssession and demon summoning

10541165
papa smurf with a shotgun, that would be a sight.

wow. what other codes do they have??

“Code Jenny! We have a Code Jenny! It's eight, six, seven, five, three, oh, nine~!!”

Yes, I'm that kind of monster. If my co-workers talk about annoying songs to stick into people's heads I'll belt that one out. Roxanne if I want to be a horrible person. Hate that song.

“Ah hope Sunset and Twilight don’t get their pinkie’s smashed against the furniture on their way back,” Applejack said as Rainbow sulked with the game lost due to the lack of electricity.

That's... Oddly specific. How does one smash their pinkies against furniture? Did you mean toes? :rainbowhuh:

“My mom was going to clean my room, and I didn’t want to explain why I had a body pillow of Daring Do, so I hid it in the attic,” Rainbow explained.

Oh my. :rainbowkiss:

“Rainbow, since your grades keep dropping, I’m going to confiscate this pillow until you­– Oh come on mom!”

Mother knows best. And hey; be glad she's not the kind to judge you wanting to snuggle or possibly spoon your fictional idol. :rainbowlaugh:

Wonder how many other codes there are.

Overall, it was fun as hell with the horror-movie tropes of being picked off one-by-one by an unseen monster and the "virus" trope of everyone becoming snuggle-obsessed... hug zombies(?) that seek to spread the snuggles to everyone else. Could do with a once-over regarding wording and grammar in a few places, and I have to question how Rainbow could use the amp without electricity. I'm guessing, say, she started playing without it and her magic cause it to turn on, if thinking back to the Friendship Games shorts.

I sensed some Sci-Set shipping from certain remarks, to which I must tip my hat to you. Any Sci-set or Rarijack is an instant plus. :twilightsmile:

10543041

Did you mean toes?

Corrected it

Oh my. :rainbowkiss:

:rainbowderp: I have it for Code Fluffy emergencies only, I swear!

Mother knows best. And hey; be glad she's not the kind to judge you wanting to snuggle or possibly spoon your fictional idol. :rainbowlaugh:

I imagine Rainbow's mother to be a very open minded individual

Yeah the guitar thing is always a thing to discuss in the EG movies/shorts. Maybe that universe invented guitars that don't need electricity

Glad you liked it! :twilightsmile:

Twilight sighed, knowing that Sunset was right. “I’ll tell her in the morning. I don’t want to ruin the sleepover like four weeks ago.”

Sunset gave her a sympathetic smile. “Don’t blame yourself for that one. You had no idea that teddy bear was possessed.”

Twilight looked away. “The fact that it worked without batteries should’ve clued me in.”

That's a prequel that NEEDS to be told.

10539855

Wouldn't they be scurrying away from Sunset then considering her...little boo boo.

10543477

Wouldn't they be scurrying away from Sunset then considering her...little boo boo.

Sunset defeating demons by snuggling them into submission? That sounds like a great idea

10543491

....That could be a silly possibility.

What I meant to ask was this: if Sunset was a demon, would she be the candidate for the person who would become a demon again?

10543495
Oh! yeah, that's Code Obsidian, but they just hug Sunset and let the rainbow do its thing.

10543503

Oh well that's....

pretty straightforward.

Oh wait...so the demon has made comebacks several times....

Wow...

Man, everything you say is a good idea for a new story.

10543514

Man, everything you say is a good idea for a new story.

That's how I keep my library full of stories :rainbowlaugh:
