When your daughter dresses in all black, talks to changelings and tells you that life is meaningless, you know she became an irredeemable villain.
She must be killed. Shining Armor knows it.
Cadance says it's just a phase, but he knows.
It's definitely not a phase.
Made for the Shining Armor is a Terrible Dad contest. Couldn't resist writing about that big dumb unicorn.
Cover by emmaneiac.
Featured from 15/03/2024 to 19/03/2023. Thank you.
I was hoping that this contest would bring out the Shining Armor I know and love (the Shining Armor is a goddamned moron version) and this fic didn’t disappoint.

I may have been influenced by the fact I read the comic where Cadance tries to make him understand she wants kids a week or so before writing this
Good laugh. Good story.
This is hilarious.
I thought he'd have suggested Tartarus, but maybe he was such a terrible dad that he forgot it existed or was sure that it couldn't hold her (etc.), which is also funny. Or it's just that it's a type of jail he considered.
nit on typos: (EDIT: those 2 typos were fixed by the author)
You assume he had one to begin with, Cadance.

I guess Tartarus is the only real jail we see, so yeah.
Thanks for the typos. I'm happy to see that I've improved recently and that using gdocs seems to help with that as well.

I assumed there was a jail in Appleloosa for some reason, and I was right https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Appleloosa_deputies#Depiction_in_the_series
And Twilight panics a lot about dungeons, though I don't remember if any appeared in the show in Canterlot. (and this story's in the Crystal Empire, anyway, but I assume castles would be similar overall) Probably not? https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/A_Bird_in_the_Hoof has the mentions of dungeons that I'm thinking of.
A word processor suggests "tried -> try" for senses. Or (EDIT:) "haven't tried" might work. Other than that I didn't see anything else, and everything else had good grammar.

I don't think they never actually appeared on screen, but I swear it was mentioned in passing at some point that the Crystal Castle did in fact have dungeons.
And anyway, just because we never see them doesn't necessarily mean Equestria didn't have other places serving as prisons.
EDIT: typos in description were fixed
I didn't notice the cover image earlier, but I strongly doubt that the cover image's spelling for "Cadence"/"Cadance" would really matter for https://mlp.fandom.com/wiki/Princess_Cadance
Anyway, good luck with the contest!
if 'leftovers' means what i think it means, that is... actually kind of dark.
probably just my imagination going wild, though.
don't think writing what i have in mind here is allowed since this is a sfw fic, so all ill say is... used rubber.

Is that one of the IDW comics?

Good story!
I enjoyed reading it.
Especially the twist at the end.
What about Chrysalis though? Are they planning on doing something about her?
That poor unaware ending.
11852156
Would.
Now excuse me, I need to go to prison.
I had figured this would be along the lines of Flurry Heart is evil
I was a correct as I was wrong. So very, very wrong
Shining, I can not respect you.

Realization

WHAT THE HELL!?
Dumb shining will forever be the best.
this is good.
Before I read this, all I’m going to say is:
ONLY GOOD BUG IS A DEAD BUG!
C’MON YOU APES, WANNA LIVE FOREVER?
I’M FROM PONYVILLE AND I SAY KILL ‘EM ALL!
The Mobile Infantry has made me the man I’m today.
And finally:
How about a nice cup of LIBER-TEA!

Thinking… realization
What in the name of the emperor
This was pure chaos and I loved it!
Man, battle of the century right there. Loved every word. Nice ending, too.
