@Crow It honestly wouldn't surprise me in the least. This fic has a habit of pulling 180s in the span of a sentence.

One second a filly is being hugged by one of the mane characters, the next said mane character is snapping the filly in half. (actualy events from the story btw)

Wait. What?

It's true that Rainbow Dash has a big, obnoxious ego, but before "The Mysterious Mare Do Well", the other ponies were able to tolerate it.

Unfortunately, "TMMDW" had RD turn into an Attention Whore, I mean Horse, and got hit by Acquired Situational Narcissism like a well-aimed brick. I'd say that her ego was intolerable that time around because she put herself before everypony else, even when their lives were in danger and some cases were caused by her showboating.

I admit, RD's friends talking about MMDW right in front of her looked like a Jerkass move, but I think they wanted to see how she would react and they wanted to know if her ego had gone down a notch. Did you see the dismayed looks on their faces when it became clear that RD was not taking it as well as they thought? Clearly, they had made a mistake, and isn't the show about ponies making mistakes and learning from them?

What?

That's exactly the problem I'm having, people have said in no ambiguous terms that it is as good as actual published literature. One fan even put it on the Wikipedia "longest books" article. If it weren't for that and the fact that I just find the protagonist to be so unlikable (yes, take your violence-hating friend and, without even asking her, sign her up for your assassination plot) I probably wouldn't be as much of a bitch about it.

Snapping the filly in half. Why?

@crow: One of the characters has some split personality thing going on, and when they see a filly suffering one of the personalities takes over and tries to "save" it. Save meaning horrifically murder.

...Alright then.

Yup. Rampage has about, 7... 8... 9 personalities in her head. One is Twist, and another is a serial killer

@ pannic, so what, obviously people love it, a lot of people, if you don't like it, so what it's what YMMV is for, nothing is liked by everyone. but you come off as unable to understand how ANYONE could possibly like it.

Ginger: Sounds like a... cool mare... yea... a cool mare. *Slowly backs away from the murderous psychopathic mare*

She is genuinely nice most of the time. (especially to kids)

but if one of them gets depressed you just need to keep shooting her in the head until the child can be moved out of there

The mayor should have one of those red phones like in the Powerpuff Girls.

I would think shooting her in the head once would be sufficient.

Whoohoo I got the password for the beach house wifi! And I don't really have much of anything to say. Other than if Applelight is around, that fic I'm writing for him is coming along pretty well.

What are we talking about now, anyway?

@Blue She's immortal and can regenerate from any injury

Seraphem: Sounds more to me like he's frustrated by the double standard of fans claiming it's good enough to in its current state, stand up to published literature, but then come criticism: hey, it's a just a fanfic, so it should be cut some slack.

@JT Rampage from Project Horizons, it seems.

Yup, I have nothing to do here.

So that's where the name Spike came from.

She's also got a red-and-white zebra, a doctor, a police officer, and a grandfather inside of her.

That's certainly a big part of it. And then there's the whole thing of whether Littlepip is supposed to be a deeply flawed anti-hero or the messiah.

From my stance she's just coming off as a massive self-righteous hypocrite and I simply can't root for that.

@Librarian Hmm, haven't met all of them yet. I know I've seen the Zebra and the police officer, but not any of the others.

Does her Teddy Bear cutie mark belong to anyone in particular?

Wait, why is Basil a stupid name? I actually like the idea of dragons having spice names.

*has no idea what's going on*
