Scramblers and Shadows


Politicians prey on the vulnerable, the disadvantaged and those with an infantile sense of pride in a romanticised national identity which was fabricated by a small to mid-sized advertising agency.

Little sister, I confess. I was the one who released Nightmare Moon. I was the one who cast the spell that unlocked Discord. I was the one who brought the Changelings to Canterlot and I was the one who dragged King Sombra and the Crystal Empire back from the aether. All this I did for Equestria. All this I did to save Equestria.

woah... that...was...AWESOMEsad, but awesome:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:WHY DID CHRYSALIS DIEEEEE:raritycry:

Oh my Luna.
I LOVED this. Awesome writing, epic story, and you pulled it off in the best way possible. I think you should make a whole story from the perspective of Princess Renaissance.

I loved this. I've always been fond of Chrysalis as a not-evil villain, and O think you did an amazing job making her sympathetic.

Great job! Now let's force it into the feature box.

Interesting take on Chrysalis and why so many things seemed to go wrong in Equestria in such a short period of time after a millennium of peace.

Nice twist! Sounds like the prelude to a bigger story. Are you going to write more?

Hmm, very interesting take. *thumbs up*

A very original take on Chrysalis. Not bad. :trixieshiftleft:

2207652 i agree, she was just doing what she felt needed to be done in order for her and her species to survive. the will to survive by any means necessary is ingrained in the genetic code of all living things. it is the nature of life itself, certain organisms must harm other organisms in order to continue their genetic line.

Very interesting, and very well written imo.

is this gonna continue because it says complete and it doesn't seem complete:twilightsmile::yay:

Interesting story let down by one of the most unwieldy names I've ever seen on a character. Renaissance? Really?

Huh.

Honestly? I think you should have left it at the letter. These scenes are part of those longer tales you mentioned. The letter, however, is complete unto itself. What I'd recommend (and don't feel remotely obligated to follow this, it's just what I think) is to un-publish this chapter, and save it for when(if) you tell one or another or both of those epics.

Story: All This I Did For Equestria

Author: Scramblers and Shadows
Reviewed by: Quillbit Marelor

All This I Did For Equestria is a bit a mess of a story. Nothing is really explained or expanded upon, making it seem somewhat empty. There is no reason for audiences to care about these characters or give them a second thought once they are finished reading the work. But, with some reworking, these ideas could actually flourish. Nothing is ever completely perfect once it is first created and, if given the chance, this story could prove that right.

Full Review
Score:3/10

This was very interesting. I do have to say that I agree with the review that it's a little disjointed. Especially the second chapter, which just throws out a few random scenes that the first chapter already implied. I still did enjoy it though! Chrysalis as an older alicorn is a very interesting idea.

Wait...

By It, do you mean IT?

Want a balloon? They float.

They ALL float.

Yeah, going beyond the letter wasn't the best idea I've ever had. I'd probably cut it if there weren't comments attached.

That's what I get for trying to pander, I suppose.

No, but that'd be a helluva crossover, wouldn't it?:pinkiecrazy:

I liked this, it's an interesting view on how all these major event's happened in relatively quick succession after centuries of peace, and a nice take on Chrysalis. As for this last chapter, while I don't feel like it detracts anything form the story, I don't feel like it adds anything either.

4035082 Is there a continuation? What happened to Chrynessaince?

At first i thought it was the Smooze.

frowning and trying suppress a smirk until she, too,

Forgot "to".

This is very interesting headcanon and I like it. Nice interpretation on things and with good narration to boot.
