A dress-up costume party episode would be awesome for next season.

"Grah! That third Zombie-pony thing keeps raping me! How are you supposed to get past that thing? "
In that "8-bit" game with Applebloom?

(wow that's a lotta arrows)

You just run past it, it lags a little bit and let's you through

Is it strange that this fandom is what made me like grimdark fics? I've read 3 so far, and now I love them. I actually like Cupcakes, though sometimes it's way too detailed for me xD

Might I ask you why? Is this related to our in built desire to corrupt the innocent? because I don't see how anyone would want to see the characters of MLP suffer.

Woawh that Fallout Equestira fanfic is big. I think I even try to read this (even if I generaly dislike fanfics. About Dark Fics, I'm okay with them, even for shows like MLPFIM, most of grimdark can be annoying but also part of it can be so silly that become funny. I can enjoy good or interesting fanfic , especaly if it is crossover.

Aha, I finally got through. Thanks, Ginger. Man, that game was creepy as balls...somehow, especially because I was listening to 'Hallelujah' at the time...Thanks for putting up the link Crono!

As for Grimdark fics, I think it depends on the level of Dark for me. Like, simply involving killing or hurting or something, I'm cool with that. In some cases, I even like it. But just layering on gore, and horrid unspeakable acts and shit, that...well, older characters it would annoy me. But child abuse is a bit of a Berserk Button for me, so those ones just piss me right off.

@Ginger: If you need more than like four arrows you should probably just do the @(name) thing. Otherwise nobody knows what you're referring to.

btw i know it ain't grimdark, but what's Bitter Sweet like? I never even read it, but i still got a lump in my throat when I heard that Pinkie dies singing a reprise Giggle at the Ghosties. I can't listen to that song now.

"In built desire to corrupt the innocent"?

I'm talking about fanfiction. Fan FICTION. Kind of like a scary movie, are you corrupting the innocent by liking scary movies? I'm talking about grimdark, not porn xD The rule 34 stuff creeps me out, I don't read that stuff, but people are allowed to like whatever they want, I guess. I just like the general nature of dark thoughts and suspense in stories and movies, is all.

Sort of like Party of None on ED, it's not even gory.

Oh no, forgive me if It sounded like I was attacking you, trust me I probably like weirder stuff than you. I was simply musing on the fact that the enjoyment for these types of fics seem to stem from our subconcious and cynical desire to corrupt that which we percieve as innocent. MLP, while not sickeningly sweet, is still pretty clean, and the older fandom seems to enjoy imagining what would happen if things got a bit darker. I was just wondering what exactly the appeal of cranking that darkness Up to Eleven was.

UK comics have started showing up and DEAR GOD. This◊ art◊ just◊ SUCKS.◊

The muzzles just look... wrong. The rest don't look TOO bad

No it's fine, I was just confused that you were accusing me of something xD

Honestly, I don't undertand it either. I'm not even much of a dark person, but I just adore well-written fanfiction, and reading a few well-written grimdark from this fandom just kind of, I don't know, fascinated me? XD Not that I want to see the chracters dead and suffering, it's just interesting to see how people can interpret charcters in different ways, and writing about something they would never do or say, yet make it sound completely in character and almost realistic. It kind of gives it an intense or thriller feel to it.

For while I had idea for fanfic that some Astronomers from Canterlot while investigating nature of celestrial bodies (after discoverign that Sun is not moving around world) discover existance of Great Old Ones and even meet Pony Chutulu.

You don't really MEET Cthulu, your so small he doesn't even REGISTER you. Would a Ponythulu be any different?

You mean this guy?

It's kind of weird that his Cutie Mark is the Elder Sign though, since it's meant to protect you against that kind of stuff.

Something about those UK comics seems rather lifeless.

Perhaps I am used to the character designs being in motion.

Meeting him - I mean seeing him waking up and ramming his head with boat.

Sea Ponnies were also in this idea.

SHOO BE DOO.

My only issue with the UK comics is that the muzzles all look too pointy. I'm not sure why that bugs me so much.

Isn't this stuff from all european MLP magazines? I saw same ugly picture in polish or german magazine.

btw Japanese Teeth? What ep is your avatar from? That's the weirdest expression i've seen Fluttershy pull. I know I've seen it before
