Re: [GRIMDARK] Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons Discussion

[Mobius04]

I've been forced to watch Soap Operas before. I for a while I knew everything about them, I have since blocked off that part of my brain.

That sounds like something along the lines of a tortured existence.

Just think about it. There is a part of your brain sealed off with all your memories of soup operas. With no external stimulation it would have this sense of timelessness as it watches all the highlights on an endless loop. Slowly everything else would diffuse and melt away as the convoluted stories became the whole if it's existence. Good luck with that swimming around in your skull.

TEACH ME

The button appears after your tenth post, presumably to prevent people from making dozens of alts to vote them up and render the system meaningless.

Well, took a little longer than I would have liked, but finally finished more Boo:

Muffins!

I got "Peach Tail"

...
goddamit this mixed with the 34 discussion and now I need to bleach my brain.

Yep. Came to terms with it. Completely.

Good to hear!

Here, have some adorably fuzzy Silver Spoon.

Wow. That is adorable. I'm not supposed to like Silver Spoon!

We needed more PH omakes. Thank you.

That's not how memory works. At all.

[Mobius04]

Just making a joke. I have been known do to that on occasion. I did get a good laugh from the picture.

[jacky2734]

Whatever happened to that picture of Wingsley, Boo, and Stygius that was suppose to get drawn?

[jacky2734]

The cute little changeling baby that was in that one drawing that got posted a while back.

[RoboRed]

"Wingsley" is the name I gave to a baby changeling perched on top of Chrysalis' head in a piece of fanart featured on Mother's Day. I threw the image around the forums for a couple days, causing much "d'awww".

See the "Lyra's Diabetes Thread" for the image.

[Mobius04]

Is there an conjecture over how life has been for the rest of the party? Think they have had a nice quiet time or the Hoof has been making their life miserable?

[NoodleNugget]

dont forget Boo is building her cakefort inside their home
and psychoshy is grumbling at the thought of blackjack

Spoiler:

[Aonee]

So basically, either things are good or things are not good.

[Moodyman90]

Non-canon prediction!
While Blackjack was gone Boo turned into a replica of Blackjack, but more mentally stable and well adjusted.

So not Blackjack?

[Moodyman90]

Like I said, non-canon. And impossible haha.

[CamoBadger]

Stable, well-adjusted blackjack? You mean when she was blind and too weak to move due to taint infection?

[WavemasterRyx]

EPIC MUFFIN TIME. I can only assume this was the result of Glory calling in favors from all over the Hoof, along with Xenith and Homage's cooking expertise.

Oh, nothing quite so dramatic as calling in favors from across the hoof, but yes, we did have Xenith and Homage drop by to help bake it.

Hng....adorable...muffiny...eyes...HNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNGGGGGG.

Here, have some adorably fuzzy Silver Spoon.

I'm glad you liked it, sir - and thank you. *cuddles fuzzy Silver Spoon*

I'm tempted to make another Nom-nom-nom animation :)

You and your nom-nom animations, heh. Feel free, if you wish.

You sir must be some kind of wizard. You managed to
take the two of the most adorable things in Fo:E and make them 100xmore
adorable! Another amazing picture Wave! keep up the amazing
work.

Ironically wizard is my favorite class to play, heh. Thank you very much, sir, though I doubt it's quite 100x, maybe single digit, or low teens at most.

"That was my evil twin brother, Falseblood!"

You guys with this PH soap opera are definitely hilarious.

@Boo and the Muffin
You do some damn good work Wave.
@PH Rule 34
[OH GOD WHY]
Then again, this is from a person who isn't into pony sex. I do
acknowledge that people could be, but I can't understand why. And, Rule
35 appears to have been put in motion.

Thank you, sir.
Well, I watch plenty of NSFW pony tumblrs, mostly because I find them amusing, or because I enjoy their art, I don't actually 'clop' to pony. As to "why" people do - it's simple personal preference, like how you style your hair, or the kind of food you enjoy. I should know, I enjoy some very unusual types of food.
I'm not really talking about food.

Well, took a little longer than I
would have liked, but finally finished more Boo:

-All the muffins!
-Considering how much I'm always comparing myself to Caprice, it's pretty ironic, isn't it? But yes, brain bleach is probably a good idea.
-I was lieing... I totally freaked out for about half a minute before I got it under control.
*hugs fuzzy Silver Spoon again*

Whatever happened to that picture of
Wingsley, Boo, and Stygius that was suppose to get drawn?

It was Wingsley, Boo, and Woona, actually - not Stygius - and I never actually agreed to draw it, though I had made a note about it to consider for later.


Right now I'm working on a different picture, with... not much success...
And I think I accidentally dropped my tablet pen for the last time... the pressure sensitivity isn't working right anymore. *sighs*

[OneMoreDaySK]

For how the rest are doing, I think they're having an easier time now that they're not having to actively fight all the time. Glory and Scotch are helping P-21 out, Rampage is probably taking PsychoShy out to actively hunt harbingers or something, and I hope the balefire explosion doesn't happen out of focus. Otherwise we don't get to see what happens immediately next.

Here's a question: assuming PH is part of the official canon, how many statuettes are left. From what I can tell, Littlepip had a full set (6), Velvet Remedy has a set (6), Spike has a set (6), Applesnack had AJ (1), and Blackjack almost has a full set (5?), right? Or is there a strong enough story I'm missing?

Also, how do I see the bro hoof thingies befor I've made my tenth post? Strange...

On a random note, the random name generator gave me Wish Dancer and Steel Masquerade. Pft ha ha.

Velvet actually gave her set to Fluttershy, but the count is accurate. IIRC the one Blackjack is missing is Twilight, meaning that there should be 4 Twilights, 2 Applejacks, and 3 of each of the others remaining unmentioned.

[Admiral Stoic Rum]

therewere seven sets I thiknk... 1 for each of the mane six and a set for luna... that is 42 pieces of soul and one piece of soul for rarity, that makes for all 43 pieces of rarity soul weeeeee

[NoodleNugget]

bah, enervation has less of an effect on her because she* was dead and joined the stars otherwise she'd* be as vulnerable* as the rest of the ponies...

I thought she was more resistant to enervation because she has less biological factors than she has mechanical. I think at most she is 1/3 still organic, that being most of her head, a good portion of her skin and her womb because it was protected thanks to the implant. not because she is 'star touched', that was only the accusation of that one zebra.

@the whole mommy blackjack discussion
I think it would be interesting. mama bear blackjack wouldn't be trying to fight for a place that was just better, she'd fight for a place that was good enough for her child. and everyone knows you don't f*ck with a mama bear.

Um, if you don't mind me asking, how's the next chapter coming along?

I'm at page 12 of 2nd of 5 scenes planned. So probably not this weekend. Monday is my Birthday anyway so we'll be doing something, whether I want it or not.

[SilentCarto]

Thank you to everyone who complimented the scenes I wrote! If you jostle my brain just right, more might fall out sometime...

Is there an conjecture over how life has been for the rest of the party? Think they have had a nice quiet time or the Hoof has been making their life miserable?

I like to think that they've been doing okay, since they need days to really recover from injuries and trauma, lacking cyber healing talismans and all. They're probably working to help rebuild Chapel, for one thing.

I imagine quite a bit of Glory's time goes into caring for Scotch, given that she's still in recovery. Lacunae too, come to that. Interesting that she's grown much more open about her alicornhood since being accepted by BJ's group. I wonder if that was known to the Crusaders, or if they're going to be shocked to find out that huge unicorn in the dress actually had wings. EDIT: Oh, right, she was naked during and after the battle where Priest died.

Rampage... as usual, could go in several different directions. She might have decided she wasn't safe around Scotch right now and returned to Arena with Psycho, but she might also be commiserating with her to get over their respective losses. It would be freaky to come back and suddenly discover that they're an 'item'.

P-21 is, I'm sure, in the process of getting weaned off of morphine. That's going to be a hell of a long road, given how long-term the addiction is.

...of course, this assumes they haven't all been kidnapped by the Enclave based on Chicken's lock of rainbow mane.

I hope the balefire explosion doesn't happen out of focus. Otherwise we don't get to see what happens immediately next.

As far as I can tell, only one day has actually passed. BJ saw the video from Arbu (t-10) the morning after it happened. They split up at midday and she had all her solo adventures, culminating in entering Yellow River at nightfall (t-9). That all took only an hour or so. She ran off into the night and killed Boing, then checked herself into Happyhorn. The entirity of Ch. 43 took only a few hours, and she left there in the "early morning darkness". She checked by the trainyard, then headed for Black Pony Mountain. It was still dark when she got in the hot spring with Stygilicious, who had presumably been out hunting all night. It didn't take too awful long to find Goldenblood's house, and then she was out for 5 hours (plus four rounds), which means it should now be morning-to-noonish outside the bubble (t-8.5).

Velvet actually gave her set to Fluttershy, but the count is accurate. IIRC the one Blackjack is missing is Twilight, meaning that there should be 4 Twilights, 2 Applejacks, and 3 of each of the others remaining unmentioned.

Hehe. I promised myself that if I ever wrote a FOE sidefic, it would use a collectable other than the statuettes. Possibly with the hero finding one of those statuettes at one point and dismissing it as a strange piece of salvage.

[Moodyman90]

The question about the statues does make me wonder...
Littlepip has a full set. (6)
Luna's became Velvet's which then became Fluttershy's.(6)
Spike has a full set.(6)
And Blackjack has all but Twilight.(5)
Of the 42 in canon only 23 are accounted for. Have there been any other fics with character's collecting them?

happy birthday! don't worry about the story, enjoy yourself!

re the source of Blackjack's Enervation resistance:
We don't actually know. Maybe it's the stars, maybe it's the cybernetics, maybe it's something else entirely.

Good luck Somber! Just let us know when you want us.
