Where? I'm too tired to catch anything remotely subtle.
2515740 Mentioning how ponies were effectively 'Shipping' Cadence And/Or Shining Armor with other famous ponies like Fleur De Lis and Daring Do. ;D
.........INTERESTING.......... I like it.
Wonder why Spike appears to not notice her being called Mistress; children are compelled to ask awkward questions about that stuff.
Nice to see not even the power of shadow can suppress cheesy friendship speeches. The dinner scene was touching.
. I would be shocked to NOT find smut of royalty.
2515752 I agree?...!LoL!
2515752
Heh Heh Heh.
Oh now isn't that an interesting little question?
I always like it when people put Princess Cadence as someone Twilight clearly believes in. Because in a way, I like her (even though a lot of people insist she is a Mary Sue, but I digress, it's how the author writes her) and Shining Armor. Anyway, this is another good chapter!
So... Honesty is next, huh? This will be really interesting.
Seriously, I don't want her to get purified. I want her to keep her freaky shadow powers and run Twilight City forever. I stand by this opinion to the bitter end, and since Princess Luna already said how it's possible, I just have to keep nagging at the author-man until it does. Or until he starts ignoring me. Either/or.
2515786 Will be very interesting... Cause no matter the cause, except life and death epic world ending events, like Discord and Nightmare Moon, AJ almost never leaves her farm for long. I wonder how she will feel about all this.
And the moment you think they're actually not creepy, and are actually on top of how crazy and mad the situation is; they call Twilight 'Mistress', pull an insane face, and decide to do something with Applejack. Something, most likely sex/rape, mind control, or something equally mad, creepy, insane, ya know, all that stuff... Lapis-Lazuli, I don't know if I love you or hate you
...... ARRRGGGHHHHH!!!!! No action?! Nothing but just talking and... *sighs and grumbles a little*
That aside, nicely done chapter. There is a bit more of a tone set with the actions of Celestia and Luna. In the end though, Celestia will only have herself to blame for being so naive. If she does that from the grave or the dungeon is the question on my mind.
2515781 uh-oh has someone been corrupting little spikey-wikey behind the scenes?
Gah! You update this great story so frequently I LOVE U! have a derpy
2515781
You know, I was wondering the same thing about Spike. He has to have noticed something by now, so it will be interesting to see why he has not been affected by everything.
Concerning Applejack, if she gets corrupted then will she insist on spreading the Shadow to her family as well, including Applebloom? I was curious if Twilight would start corrupting children at some point.
Random question, since a giant town has popped up in the Everfree forest full of Shadow Bolts and other things, what's Zecora been doing this whole time?
Also, didn't Luna send her guards out to keep an eye on all the Element bearers? Haven't they noticed Pinkie and Dash are missing yet? I wonder if those guards are enough to save Applejack...
Wait, I thought they couldn't say her name in other forms without saying Mistress?

Remember, Celestia saw Twilight right before she got in way deeper. Twilight fell pretty rapidly after that, but until then she seemed to be holding off very well.
2516894 It's Pinkie Pie... what else you need?
2515880 your dedication is crazy, are you sure you aren't corrupted yourself?
2516894
That does seem odd. Doesn't it?
2516840
I'll be really honest - Zecora has been written out for narrative convenience. I may touch on her fate later on, but she's not important to the story.
Also - Luna sent guards to protect the elements themselves - meaning the physical artifacts. She did not, at the time, believe the bearers were in jeopardy.
And finally, as for Applejack - well....Read and find out. :D
2515998
You love me, for I am the Mistress' prophet.
2516383 Woohoo! *Takes his derpy and feeds it muffins*
2517565
Ah, I misunderstood what Luna was saying. Thought she had someone keeping an eye on the all the bearers. Well, that clears up a few things then.
2517246 At the same pace, I believe it was Celestia who decided not to warn Twilight about the nature of the Shadow. Then slowly Celestia keeps failing on mentioning vital things to Twilight, leading to the events of last chapter. She also cannot keep her own people in check and prevent them from causing trouble in Twilight City, and don't tell me she can't do something like that. Every pony respects her and obeys her.
2518787>>2517246
I love you guys so much.
I have the best commenters an author could hope for.
2518861
Aww, I love you too. In the elements of harmony kind of way, not the creepy shadow kind of way.
2518861 Glad to be around to torment you with my comments. *manic Fluttershy laugh*
2517279
Possibly, possibly. And I fail to see the problem with that.
But seriously, the hint has already been dropped for a way to have Twilight keep the freaky shadow magic and not turn into the Nightmare. Now we just have to wait and see what's gonna happen from here on out. Will Celestia keep making the same mistakes and drive Twilight farther into the Shadow? Or will the moments with her friends be enough for her to figure out the path to redemption on her own?
Personally, I want the second option. I don't want Celestia to get the chance to save the day. She keeps making mistake after mistake from the very beginning, she knows almost nothing about Twilight's thoughts, and even less about what it would take to help her. She's so wrapped up in her secrets and her flawed sense of superiority that rather than working with Twilight, she'd rather leave Twilight on her own and try to work through it on her own, because obviously Twilight wouldn't be able to help with that.
The path is there, I just have to wait to see if she'll be able to find it.
She said it. Ermahgerd.
2533584 What is so exciting? All she did was give her a pep talk.
2842163
I do believe that the fellow was refering to the fact that prior to this, Dash was unable to say "Twilight Sparkle" and at best she could say "Mistress Twilight Shadow" or "Mistress Shadow"
So Dash calls Twilight 'Mistress' almost the whole time, and Spike doesn't have any questions? He's not as bright as he makes himself out to be
WAIT A COTTON PICKING MINUET ha celestia is going to get her ass captured in the west and twilight is going to save her i bet
ok.... quick question here, and tell me if it is stupid and why, but why would AppleJack care about Filthy Rich's death?
4948027
In cannon, Filthy Rich is the number one buyer of Apple Family apples and also the major buyer of the Zap Apple Jam, always getting the first 100 jars. He almost single hoofedly keeps Sweet Apple Acres afloat. With Rich dead, the farm might be in a bit of trouble.
5235465
Eh, I imagine the crown (by that I mean Twilight Shadow) can take over that 'contract'. Plus, Filthy Rich isn't the be-all & end-all of money. Yes, he has a lot of it in the Apple family business, but that Jam & cider, & those amazing apples would sell just as well with him gone. Everyone would still want them, & they would be distributed more evenly amongst the common ponies. Which Twilight Shadow is all about, it seems, helping the common pony.
