Not That Anon


Yep, definitely not him.

Rarity is asleep, Sweetie Belle is looking for her doll and Opal might be an eldritch monster beyond ponykind's comprehension.

A silly idea inspired by the works of H. P. Lovecraft.

Demon 1, Sweetie Belle 0. But she did live to fight another day.

Horror comedy is pretty hard to write but it's decent to me.

Thanks! I considered leaving either of these two tags out to avoid the non-standard combination but ultimately either Horror or Comedy alone would probably give the wrong first impression.

This was pretty funny. Good use of the stylistics, too! Deep thinker Sweetie Belle! :scootangel:

I am a huge fan of Lovecraft's works, and seeing the juxtaposition of very Lovecraft-style storytelling wherein every damnably miniscule crumb of horrendously tempting knowledge, transmitted imperfectly by mere words on a page, is exaggerated and expounded into shuffling cosmic enormity like he's getting paid by the word with the normal-ass writing that came next was a delight.

Thank you! I'm also a fan of his style and it's a minor tragedy that so few pieces of media – especially in the seemingly endless ocean of pony fanfiction – attempt to recapture that characteristic mood that Lovecraft's works are known for. I'd rather not make any promises yet but in all likelihood I'll give it another shot before long.
