Dementia Ravenmane


I'm just a simple horse trying to make my way through the universe. People say I'm bad at writing happy endings.

Twilight just wanted to spend the day with her friends. Maybe have a picnic or something.
Unfortunately, an extra-dimensional creature has other plans, and decides to make Twilight's day as chaotic as possible.
Oh, and Fluttershy is gone. Simply wonderful.

Contains dark humor and randomness directly from the mind of yours truly.

Formerly known as Madness of Sound, I changed the name.

This story is in the process of being fixed up, please mind the mess.

Please make constructive critisicm if you find something bad. Thanks in advance. :twilightsmile:

Homosexual genital as I refer to the origins of fluttershout was a lot better in my personal opinion.(oops I posted an opinion on the internet)

Also good ol' ...EAR RAPE!

1904502 I was planning on having her appear in chapter 3 :pinkiecrazy:. Hopefully it would have been worth the weight. (See what i did there?) :facehoof: God that was a bad joke.

FFFUUUUUU!!! You have 1337 at the end of your username, too! Oh well. I like this. Favorited and liked, cuz I always favorite what I'm interested in, and I favorite what I hate.

CURSES!!! I missed the "un" when writing unfavorite. It was a like fave. It's hard to comment when using a iPhone. I unfavorite what I hate.

1917624 Then i can recommend the Galaxy SIII. Much friendlier autocorrect, and more colors on screen. :twilightsheepish:

Wow. This story became a lot more popular than i expected! :twilightsmile: I am currently working hard on the second chapter.

Liked it, makes me wonder what happens next.

1904529 Who said that wouldn’t be the origin? It just might happen... :trollestia:

Demacia, what is that?

2499710 It's a fictional city-state from the game League of Legends.
Wiki link

2499925 Ah I see, I've never played that game, but the link was helpful. Demacia certainly does have some similarities to Equestria.

this story is sad because fluttershy is not ment to be mean or manuliplided
:fluttercry:

2515185 Okay, I just have to ask. What the hell does manuliplided mean?

There were many, but the most prominent one had been that there was no indication that Twi had even used her spell to make them be able to walk on the clouds. Also I believe the overall story could use more structuring, perhaps you should speak to a writer of your choice for guidance and such. To me, it seems as though you may need quite the amount of work done to this story. Also, I might suggest you add theComedy tag onto this, for the name GAYPENIS really did recognize a laugh or two for me, and there seems to be many times in the story so far where you'd think it was quite funny

2576301
forget about that I was drunck when I poasted that:facehoof:

2578355 I'm actually considering the Random tag as well.

2581034 Of course, I couldn't find any decent non-Gmod pictures to use for cover.

Reuploaded since the updated box seems to hate me. :facehoof:

amazing
just say I look forward to reading the next chapter :heart:
this is getting pretty crazy well compared to normal mlp but its amazing:heart:



and also I was confused, why does it say, "(Establishing battlefield control. Stand by.)" when twi wakes up
or is that going to be answered in next chapter:pinkiehappy:

2604087 yeah, that will be answered.
It's also a reference to a game series.
I'll let you try to find out which.

2605406
What's there to explain?
I simply expressed my anger towards GAYPENIS, however, I pronounced PENIS like the TF2 Solder would, PAINIS.

2605560 Well, what does the "Luna dammit" part mean? I've never heard it before.

2605586
Luna damnit, similar to God damnit, except, ponified. Because Luna and Celestia are considered goddesses, they can be used in place of God for the phrase. I, prefer Luna over Celestia.

2606224 Oh I see. I've never heard it with Luna's name before.

2608258
If you read many, MANY FiMFiction fics, such as me(And if you read as much as me, you have a case of pony fanfiction addiction.), you would see that phrase used every now and then. Not many use Luna damnit. Celestia damnit is more common.

Letus all pray that other gmod freaks don't get involved, ESPECIALLY Painis Cupcake*shutter*
And now the rating for this story *drumroll*
:derpyderp1::derpyderp1::derpyderp1::derpyderp1::derpyderp1: 5 DERPYS

I truly can't get enough of this it's so good that I can't stop thinking about when the next chapter is done!:heart::pinkiehappy::pinkiecrazy: Truly an amazing story it has me captivated! And I love the craziness of it! :pinkiecrazy::heart::heart::pinkiehappy:

2757052 Don't worry, chapter 8 is currently being written. :raritywink:
Once I move my lazy flank from playing Command & Conquer to writing in Google Docs. :twilightsheepish:

Hey there Weegee. You wanted to know why I favorited this?

Well a few reasons.

I adore the gmodverse ponies for one. Fluttershout, Rarifruit, Brutalight, Pinkus, Derpigun, Rainbine and Applepills all, just incredible. Got to admit Rainbine is my favorite. Though Fluttershout does come in a close second mostly because I love Fluttershy, and the thought of a Fluttershy with a badass vocal passenger who has made her become one kick ass pony...well it makes me squirm with delight (is that the right spelling? Or is it Delite? Not sure...wait I'm off topic).

Another reason, dear lord I love InvertedShadow's work, and you come along and put it in story form, that's just incredible.

Deep deep down I kinda wish the other gmodverse ponies would show up, but I realize that this is not that kind of story. It's just my evil side deep down trying to make itself heard. Don't mind him, he just likes to troll.

I nearly died when Pinkamena made a showing in this story, if only briefly. Out of all the alternate personalities of the Mane Six, she easily comes at the top of my list.

I adore this story, and am looking forward to seeing more. Thanks for putting this up for us WeeGee. :heart:

2850369 Another satisfied customer! :twilightsmile:
Btw, thanks for stalking me. :scootangel: <--stalkerloo

2852430
My pleasure sir. Stalkerloo and I will keep a close eye on you. All those cameras set up in your rooms. And the tracking cookies on your computer. :scootangel:

Again thank you for the story. It's stories like this and authors like you that make this fandom so bloody incredible.

I know you said not whine about the name GAYPENIS, but seriously? Who came up with this?
Also, I just recorded a reading of this chapter, so expect to see a video on my channel by tomorrow.

3193031 I think it was OLDSACKS, the inventor of the freak.

3193240 I like the way you think, I've seen Shadow's video for the Elements of Insanity and let me tell you, BEST video ever. And um... I think my favorite is um... Fluttershout. Yeah she's my favorite for she also has her colt friend, but what was his name?

"Oh my god, she just ran in. What should we do?" Shadow looked at Pinkie in confusion.
"Just stick to the plan." When the dust had subsided, Pinkie and Shadow snuck in through the wrecked door.

Leeroy Jenkins!

This story is kind of hilarious, but really strange at the same time.

Silver out!

(Establishing battlefield control. Stand by.)

This story is strange but kind of funny at the same time. It passes initial inspection!

Silver out!

I'm going to need to reread this story from the beginning again aren't I? This last chapter confused th hell outta me.

3314928 Not the entire story, only chapter 7, maybe 6.
Also, was it a good kind of confusion or a bad one?

3315012

I think a little bit of both. Good confusion that I may need to reread the story, bad confusion that I didn't know what was happening. :pinkiecrazy: :derpytongue2:

You shall be punished for causing this. :flutterrage:

Just kidding. :twilightsheepish:

3315012 Well, you did it again. You made me fall for this story BIG TIME! :heart: Can't wait for the next installment!:pinkiesad2::pinkiecrazy:

The following review is brought to you by Zero Punctuation Reviews.

Imagine, dear reader, that you're to visit your Alzheimer's induced grandfather at a nursing home that always smells vaguely like piss and desperation. He always spends these visits in his wheelchair spouting some kind of one-sided, quasi-story 'conversation' at you. You nod and smile, however, and pretend to pay attention because you love the guy and he'll be dead someday, but you check out immediately because grandpa's ramblings are poorly delivered and seem to have no connection or context with itself or indeed reality as a whole. So you then sit patiently in the corner of the room and wait for another family member to initiate leaving, then you kiss grandpa on the cheek and tell him you love him before promptly walking out the door. By the time you've gotten to the car and plugged in your iPod headphones, you've forgotten every word that poor grandpa said. In a nutshell, that's what "Madness of Sound" is like.

This is the part where I talk about the premise and what I think the story is trying to accomplish, but alas I couldn't gather either of those things. It feels like the story just blindly trotted up to me and vomited some kind of narrative down onto the sidewalk before my feet. I recognize chucks and bits of plot, exposition, character development and all that overrated 'story writing' shit, but I couldn't tell you how it all came together. This story, to put metaphors aside, is a complete mess.

This may have been a beautiful and side-splitting action adventure within the wondrous, labyrinthian mind of Drweegee1337, but it's transition to paper - so to speak - was less than seamless. As I read thru the first few chapters, I could feel my higher cognitive functions checking out. This is a very bad sign, as the praise centers that actively search for premises and ideas to value were completely turned off. The story did not welcome me into the theatre and hope I would have a lovely time enjoying it, it threw me into my seat and shoved popcorn at my face before hitting me with a shovel and throwing me out into the night to wander the streets wondering whether I should be offended or disappointed.

But perhaps I'm over thinking things, as I often do. Perhaps "Madness of Sound" is to be judged as a spectacle rather then a story. But even on those merits it fails because spectacles are supposed to be fun to witness and this spectacle falls flat because it has no established context. Where the spectacle is taking place and how the spectacle comes to be are essential to the entertainment value. All attempts at humor fail because there's no set up or build up, just a random punchline thrown up at you. It's like walking into an interview only to witness the interviewer stand up and scream, "Orange you glad I didn't saw banana?" before kneeing you in the stomach and running out of the room.

As you're walking into "Madness of Sound" land, be sure to keep your eyes glued to ground lest you fall into a plot hole. Plot devices are brought up, thrown into your face like you're supposed already know about them, used to propel the narrative then are dropped and forgotten about. I know working exposition into narrative is hard, but that does not excuse simply not having any exposition. You have to lay out the base information for the story to work - a platform from which your audience can build their experience upon - otherwise they have no cornerstone to build their experience upon.

Description and connotative words would've been nice. The first chapter purported to unleash a cataclysm upon Ponyville, but devoted about a sentence and a half to the event. The event itself, and the state of the town before and after the event and the effect of the event upon the characters are so under-developed it renders the whole happening meaningless and without any impact. Okay, granted one whole character bled a bit, but that's the extent of the damage as described. I cut my finger and it bled a bit in a kitchen accident but that doesn't make it comparable to Armageddon. A similar presentation issue can be noted with a lot other plot points throughout the narrative. Presentation isn't just bad, it's barely there. My imagination has nothing to work with.

"Madness of Sound" failed from the gate for my higher brain checked out almost instantly. I read the whole thing, but didn't conceptualize most of it. I was just reading words on a page with zero interest or understanding. And if I can't tell what the fuck is going on, it's the layman I feel sorry for since I'm so much smarter and attractive then they are. My mommy wouldn't have told me that if it wasn't true. I don't know if Drweegee1337 is trying to excite me, horrify me, make me laugh or even trying to tell me a decent little story and ultimately fails at all four.

To summarize, this bumbling grandpa is plagued by no sense of substance, inconsistent tone, lackluster use of language, bland characters and an unfunny plot that, despite it's best efforts, failed to engage me miserably. Failure, however, is the best lesson and the self-righteous dickblisters of the internet that are only good for pointing out flaws in everything to avoid overcoming the fear of subjecting their own horrible work to criticism are the best at teaching that lesson.

Who knows, maybe if Drweegee1337 settles down, develops a style and writing methodology and can give his/her little tale some room to breathe and develop naturally, maybe it can become the side-splitting action adventure of his/her dreams! But until then, don't read it. It's not worth your time. It might even make you cry.
