Scootaloo is scared of thunder. Sweetie Belle sleeps with her old baby blanket. Apple Bloom sometimes wets the bed.

btw, does AB wear her bow to bed?

Ugggh. . .Good Morning.

Before I have to head off to school I hope that you don't mind if I vent a little this morning. I want to do this because last night I saw a pony fanwork that inspired such anger in me that I actually lost sleep.

Now going to say the name of the work, because despite my misgivings going into it the work is actually quite popular and used to get praised regularly (no longer since it has long since completed). The praise was in fact why I saw it out in the first place, despite the fact that I knew I probably wasn't going to like it. I thought that maybe I would see what others liked so much about it, but I was mistaken, oh boy was I mistaken.

At this point I'm really just baffled. Baffled at how the creator managed to con some many people in to liking such an emotionally empty, self-awaringly smug, and downright exploitative piece of work with one of the most insulting uses of Alternate Character Interpretation I have ever seen (mostly because people will insist that it really isn't that trope).

To anyone who may genuinely enjoy this work, I am sorry, but I am genuinely disappointed in you, and anything you say to try to defend this piece will not convince me that it is anything more then semi-pretentious dark tripe.

Sorry to anyone I may have offended but I needed to get that out of my system lest I lose more sleep. I have to go now. I hope that I haven't soured things so much that you will never want me to come back.

A bit difficult to know how to respond without knowing about the actual work.

I'm guessing it's Fallout Equestria

As if the world didn't need to be crueler to me

"We won't judge you for liking something."

"To anyone who likes this work, I'm dissapointed in you"

I'm going to take a wild guess and say it's Past Sins?

I hope so.

I wouldn't judge you harshly Mio.

Also, hello everyone!

I'm curious too, but if you don't want to say it on here, Mio, that's why I PM'd you.

I P Md him too a while ago.

I think he's gone

I wonder why the strong reaction? While I certainly enjoyed that fanfic, it's not like I think it's the best fic ever (reserved for one of samvime's Discworld fanfics, lol). It was... nice, but didn't quite fit the true experience of the source game.

No Ginger, I don't think AB wears her bow to bed. Well, then again she did in Stare Master but she didn't in Family Appreciation Day...

Going off of that logic. I'll say no as well. Especially because I'm not sure if she was planning on going to sleep in Stare Master.

Embarassing secrets: Lyra spends all her time practicing the bipedal walk/run. Bon Bon practices different voices.

She wears an adorable little nightap in FAD. I was just wondering if she had that bow on UNDER it

What a world if these were true.

I actually kinda liked Bon Bon's newest voice

Hmmmm.

Embarassing secrets: Rarity is fond of trashy romance novels (WE know that, but does anypony else besides Sweetie, perhaps?). Twi is embarassingly fond of astonishingly exotic grimoires. Fluttershy likes escapology and ties herself up regularly for practice. Dashie has started on a Daring Do shrine to match her Wonderbolts Room.

True dat, then Dashie has a bottle of black-and-grey mane dye for Daring cosplay.

AJ?

For the Fluttershy thing, if you mean after Putting Your Hoof Down, that would be interesting. And c'mon, everyone knows about the RD thing.

And how about Pinkie?

Does AJ practice her Fancy while wearing it?

AJ's embarassing secret? She's got something fancy from the Oranges (or Cherry Jubilee!) that she wears in front of the mirror when Applebloom's at class and Big Mac's on the field and she's got some privacy. Big Mac's one is that he has a Smarty Pants Twi helped him to order and he has tea with the doll when everypony is otherwise busy and he has free time on the field :3

Pinkie? It's hard to imagine what she would find embarassing, apart from maybe finding it hard to admit how many snacks she devoured last night. As for the AJ thing, maybe

I still wanna hear Rarity speaking in her parents' accent

I imagine that isn't a big secret and everypony who knows Rarity in Ponyville figured out she practices that accent she uses regularly. It'd be funny if something broke her composure/charisma enough for her accent to regress

Have I been somehow transported to a parralel world where people DON'T consider her parents' accent amazing?

I dunno, lol.

It would be amusing if she got shocked enough for her accent to regress and the only ponies who are surprised are those who didn't stay in Ponyville very long.

Umm, sorry about that everyone. I'm just in a generally foul mood not just because of the work, but also because of stuff happening in my life at the moment.

For the record, the work I am refering to is NOT Fallout Equestria. Hell, it technically isn't even a fanfic. Still, I've heard nothing but praise from it, and it genuinely made me angry, so I still don't feel comfortable saying what it is (though at the same time I'm sure that some people will laugh at me when they find out what it is).

Well, relax, Mio, we won't make your life any harder than it is. Still around, cool your head a little, and we can shoulder the burden ^_~
