I'm going to be honest, in the Mad Six group I didn't know anything about Applejack or Fluttershy, their background is interesting, I also have a question, chronologically at what point in the series does this story take place? I take as reference the end of season 6 (since we can see that Discord and Starlight get along) and before season 8 (since there is no mention of friendship school). I'm also interested in what Celestia and Luna's experiences have been regarding Volo.

I will be honest. Those two were the hardest to find an evil twin to. Apparently they aren't all that much used. And as for their background I have had to fill in blanks since evil Applejack doesn't have much in terms of backstory in the original story. But hey, creative potential.

That's about right I would say.

Not particularly pleasant

This is an amazing concept with really damn good execution! As a fan of Twilight's dollhouse, I think her characterization was very accurate, and and i had never heard of the applejack fic you used, and after giving a quick read I've got to say although I think the story itself is neutral I think it makes a lot of sense it's a choice for this concept. Im also for evil fluttershy, i would have personally used the "angel of death" fluttershy especially since in my mind "butterflies" is a fic that's extremely similar to "cupcakes" at least in concept, this isn't really a complaint more as just I won an excuse to mention Angel of Death cus I think it's really well written, keep up the good work! (Also pinkie shutting down her murder counterpart purely because it's "not that point in the story yet" is hilarious)

I have not read that one tbh.

Kind of figured, it's extremely underrated in my opinion and characterizes "evil Fluttershy" in a really compelling way that helps it stand out. Once again I didn't expect you to have used it but more I just wanted an excuse to bring it up because of how underrated it is

11873412
Link? Cause I can't seem to be able to find it.

11873802
I got the name wrong! The story is called "angel of mercy" it should just come up if you search that (bc yknow, it's the correct title) but just incase it doesn't heres a link to a reading https://youtu.be/PIEWKy1TmjA sorry for being dumb :3

11874138
Oooooh that. Yeah I know that one. Haven't read it yet but I don't doubt it's good. What's her method operatis?(talking of about Fluttershy of that story)

it should just come up if you search that

Idk, I got some story about some pony on a fighter plane lol.

sorry for being dumb :3

We all be dumb sometimes no worries

The angel of Mercy Fluttershy's main gimmick is that she doesn't want to kill people but only ever does it so they don't have prolonged suffering, for example Applejack (who is the victim of the story) comes to Fluttershy's house with a deathly illness that will likely have dragged out pain for months before resulting in death, so Fluttershy decides to kill Applejack so she doesn't have to suffer through the pain of the illness even though there is a chance Applejack could have recovered. In short angel of Mercy Fluttershy just wants to minimize suffering. Don't really know how much more I can say without making this comment two paragraphs which given my rambly nature I try to avoid doing.

Okay I can see that also working in this story, it does the job of clashing with Dollmaker Twilight ideologically which is the plan I have for Butterflies Fluttershy.

11874575
Ohh cool! Im excited to see how this fic pans out! Keep up the good work! (also no evil spike? Joking, i know that there's nothing for that)

11875245

also no evil spike? Joking, i know that there's nothing for that

Quite the contrary. I just don't feel like I want r@pe to be that much part of this story.

11875277
when i say there's nothing i meant more like, story's about spike murdering people, I looked for smth like that (for reference for a grimdark parody im writing) and the """"best"""" I found was the aforementioned SA storys. Feels bad :(

11875386
Feels bad indeed.

It's like the best they can do with Spike is r#pe godzilla.

11875526
Mhm, it's the main reason I chose Spike to be the killer in the horror comedy fic I'm currently writing. (The other being he works very well for the twist i have planned) (also this is not a plug, especially since the story isn't out yet and might not be for like a month depending on my motivation)

11875628
Do notify me when it does come out. I'd like to read something dark with Spike being the baddie but without him being all rapezilla.

11875722
Will do!

Out of all of them(which I'm only really familiar with Twilights and rarities story) I feel rarity would be the least intense/worrisome and easiest to deal with in terms of keeping her from doing anything and eventually stopping her whether it's through redemption then sending her home or just sending her home without redemption. She's a killer sure no argument there but she's for the most part a selective killer with enough morals(not fully willing to harm family and close friends) and self control to not go on a full on killing frenzy and from what I remember actively tried to keep family and her 5 friends from falling into that life to an extent she did cave in after sweetie found out to letting her watch after all and potentially helping. Basically long as no one does anything to her, her family or friends she's for the most part harmless unless the itch gets too much to control.

Most certainly. Ain't that an interesting motivation considering her current predicament
