Twilight died...scary thought...

It's like I say: Incineration and YouTube equal Princess.

I wanted my captain to ascend to alicornhood down the line, but of course I'd need a bloody good reason to do so. Oh and to actually start bloody writing something.

What would his ascension be? Incineration and FIMFiction.net?

it could also be dailymotion.

I find this idea, that Twilight was incinerated to be kind of stupid. It was a needless cliff hanger that people ran way with, and some how the creative staff knew what the reaction would be.

I'm up, and what did I trot into?

-looks about before glomping Applelight- I am glad to see you! -seems to release, backing up- Just in case Posey's watching... I'd hate to have her go on either of our cases.

@Favorite episode in Season 3: I can't really say what it is for myself.

I don't think anyone takes the incineration bit seriously.

@Mio: No worries, I was just kidding.

@Kyler: Probably not, but it's one of those jokes that appear so often, that it starts to become "not sure if serious" after a certain point. Kind of like Pinkamena being "murderous".

Mental image: Shadow Pinkie as a stringy-haired ghost... mare?

I only take it seriously in the sense that I wonder what the others were up to between Twilight disappearing and reappearing.

Though now that I think of it... If, say, Applejack ascends at some point, will she leave an apple-shaped scorch mark on the floor?

@ Kyler

Ha, maybe.

Sounds about right. That and surrounded by a bunch of inanimate turned animate "friends".

I have no idea how I'd do an ascension story though.

The only idea I have is, the captain goes into another dimension (possibly the afterlife) to fight to recover his crews lost souls.

Tartarus?

Tartarus? Isn't that place full of tartar sauce? I heard that is the reason Tartarus is a bad place to end up in. (I know the true reason why with my mythology knowledge, but just couldn't resist.)

As for ascension, I'd have considered a heroic sacrifice scene, but... I didn't do too much on storyworks, and can't give ya concrete advice.

Fun game: Guess how long it was between the explosion and the revival! Is it a few hours? Or a few days? We'll never know!

RE: Shadow Pinkie: Perhaps a spider that tries to catch people in her web(Signifying her feelings that she has to do something specific to keep ponies around her), that when purified becomes Anansi(Trickster god, also god of knowledge in stories, which relates to the Pinkie Sense)?

Coyote might also be a decent persona, or Loki(though Loki is a tad more malicious than either Anasi or Coyote, at least in more modern interpretations. At the time he actually thought Baldr was kind of being a dick and thought it'd be funny to see him get hurt)

I thought Pinkie's hidden feelings were actually less clingy, and more "You're not really my friends, go away!"

Or in Shadow Pinkie's case, "You're not my friends, now die!"

Pinkie's Shadow is probably going to have a slightly yandere edge to it.

Entangled

Really? I'd always interpreted it as the feeling that she wants real friends and is afraid she doesn't have them - hence the object tea party. Can't run away if they're in her gourd.

I think that actually it would be something more inbetween. That she only thinks of others as fuel for her hollow happiness and when they don't co-operate she lashes out at them and withdraws into her own fantasy to maintain that hollow happiness.

When I was planning out a crossover I made her initial Persona (Queen) Mab, and her ultimate Ame-no-Uzume.

I imagine Twilight was a lot like this back in school. Just look at how enthusiastic he is.

I'm no developer or anything, but I think this might be just slightly overpowered. Just a little bit. Also, as pointed out in the comments, Essence Backlash makes this hilarious.
