Starlight picked a really bad time to take up astronomy. She made a very interesting discovery! The problem is that this discovery, near as anybody can tell, is an asteroid on a collision-course with Equestria.
Obviously this bodes ill for almost everyone on the planet. (Except Trixie. She's been to the afterlife before, so she's not particularly concerned.)
The thing is, there's one detail of Glimmer's discovery that she's still hoping and praying isn't true.
Through the telescope, she was able to get a very close look at the asteroid.
It has her face on it.
A horrible crack-adjacent fic inspired heavily by YIIK. If you know, you know. If you don't...spoilers, I guess? Does anybody care?

That does neatly resolve why Luna can't just tell the meteor to go elsewhere.
"What about Cadence?"
"Love, like gravity, is a purely attractive force. She'd be less than worthless."
"Do you know how long it took me to find a viable place to build up de facto speed just to get here?"
Delightful madness. Thank you for it.

I do my best.
Already loving the description hehe
Well that was cracky!
Is that what the YIIK rpg is about?

Sort of kind of not really. This is based on the summaries I've seen by various Youtube critics, because I tried playing YIIK once and the random encounters were such a terrible slog that I couldn't finish the first dungeon.
That having been said: Yes, Alex really does fight a meteor that has his face on it. Yes, he does travel to the space between universes, and he does meet a bunch of alternate Alexes, and there's a Nonstandard Game Over where you choose to take out your anger on another universe's Alex, becoming yet another Alex-Meteor.
Also, toward the end, he talks directly to the player, and claims that the player is an AU Alex.
This definitely goes over well after playing hours upon hours of "Alex Drags Everyone Else Along On His Quest To Get Laid With A Girl Who Literally Got Unexisted Right In Front Of Him".
Blinks in confusion even after exclamation
I understood most of what was going on, and I'm still confused...and amused. Also Flurry and Discord, oh my, tell us more how they hooked up!

That would be the one I wrote before this one: https://www.fimfiction.net/story/500292/a-flurry-of-chaos
I understood more of that than I had any right to.
This is the most Terry Pratchett thing I’ve heard in a long while.
