I'd like to try something new and hopefully fun. For every image that gets posted in this thread, the next Anon who posts should write a short green about it. This is based off of an idea that was being played with in the writing general, but it will probably be more visible and get more participation if it is given its own thread.

Here is how it works:

Anon A posts an image. The next anon who comes along, should he be so inspired, will compose a short green that tells the story of that image. Then, the next anon who drops by can post a new image, and another anon can write a green based on that. And so on in that fashion.

The original idea was to stick to a rigid image->green->image->green structure: if the last post in the thread is an image, you should post a green, and if the last post is a green, you should post an image. I still think we should aim for that, but since this is a slow board I'm not going to enforce it too much. If you see an image in the thread and you get an idea, feel free to write a green about it, even if it's several posts up in the thread or if someone already wrote a green for it. Likewise, if you have a bunch of random images sitting around that you would like to see someone write a green about, feel free to post them, even if the last few posts are images.

Images can be anything you like, including porn. However, I think this exercise will work best if we try to use images that don't lend themselves to an obvious interpretation. In other words, the more random and out-of-context the image is, the better it will work for this. Try to avoid images that contain captions or obvious visual gags. /pol/ style images are acceptable too, it's not just a pony thread.

Posting more than one image per post is also acceptable; however, if you are writing a green, do not include images as part of your post. Green posts should be text only, and image posts should not contain any text.

Here are a few from my collection to get the ball rolling. Feel free to pick any of these if you feel like writing something, or post some of your own if you don't like my choices.

Boeing Whistleblower Dead

John Barnett, a former 32-year employee of Boeing, found dead in his vehicle from a "self-inflicted gunshot wound" before arriving for his third day of cross examination in a lawsuit against the company.

I'm a little late for the party on this one as it is a day old, but I was busy and just got around to it. Regardless, this is interesting timing, which I will go over. This started when John was finished working for the company after being not only ignored for safety concerns, but actively told that he was not to work contrary to the company.

He would state in his interview back in 2019: "That entire team came down. They were from the military side. My impression was their mindset was – we are going to do it the way we want to do it. Their motto at the time was – we are in Charleston and we can do anything we want."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-163.1-163.231

I'm unsure if this means that a literal military component of Boeing was involved like contractors, or if it was a militaristic mindset. Either way, John stated he noticed something was up a bit over a decade ago "in 2011 and 2012, it was more of paperwork administrative issues – they didn’t want us documenting defects, they didn’t want us to complete paperwork correctly. They wanted us to just close jobs that weren’t done just to get the jobs closed out. It was more administrative."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-175.1-175.279

He goes on to explain that "defective parts were mishandled and sometimes lost or refitted to planes from the company scrapyard to meet production timelines." and "he had discovered major issues in some of the planes' oxygen systems which could lead to one in four masks not functioning properly."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-1705.21-1705.150

More concerning is the company both denying his direct claim but acknowledging it as true internally as "it acknowledged that an inspection in 2017 found that some oxygen bottles were in fact not deploying properly."
https://archive.is/udepd#selection-937.367-937.477

There was also a problem with how the planes were assembled, using the wrong type of bolts that would leave sharp shavings around that risked slicing vital wiring and interfering with components. "They are up to three inches long. They are razor sharp titanium slivers. When the fasteners are installed to hold down the floorboards, the threads are getting peeled off the fasteners. And those threads are falling down on top of the wire bundles and electronic equipment. Over time, as the vibrations of the airplane work the slivers into the wire bundles and into the connectors, they are going to short something out eventually. I don’t see how it is possible that they don’t." "After I filed my complaint, the FAA came in and did a spot audit. They audited five airplanes in Everett and five airplanes in Charleston. And they found the metal slivers in all ten airplanes they inspected."
https://archive.is/XpkbC#selection-319.1-319.481

And, in case there was any doubt, as we all could guess, this ties back around to diversity mandates, even if the media refuses to name it. "Boeing has denied Barnett's allegations but a 2017 investigation by the FAA found issues that plagued their aircraft." "The FAA found at least 53 non-conforming parts with unknown locations in the factory." "They also found that mechanics at Spirit AeroSystems, one of Boeing's suppliers, used hotel key cards to check door seals and Dawn soap as a lubricant."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2507.0-2517.151

I suppose only the dumbest of niggers, spics, and token white liberals may apply at Boeing these days. In fact, they had to teach these dumbfucks that there was a difference in measurement types. "In February, the FAA concluded that Boeing had "a lack of awareness of safety-related metrics at all levels." "It also said that "employees had difficulty distinguishing the differences among various measuring methods, their purpose and outcomes." "In response to the recent FAA audit, Boeing released a statement that they would have conversations with employees that do not understand manufacturing procedures reported the Washington Post."
https://archive.is/jTwNz#selection-2539.0-2551.1

Enter this trial where John is suing Boeing for defamation by calling him a liar when they did internal investigations and proved him telling the truth. He had completed two days of the cross examination. He then was found dead in his truck before arriving to court for the third day. "He was found dead in his orange pickup truck with a silver handgun in his hand and finger still on the trigger, according to a police report." "A worker at the motel where Barnett was staying reported hearing a "pop" sound near the back of the building where the ex-employee was found dead around 9:30 am." All of this apparently happened on the 9th and he declared deceased on the 11th.
https://archive.is/2I6KK#selection-1745.1-1779.3

I do find this timing especially interesting given the recent news of Homeland Security getting involved with gaming diversity, as this anon covered.
>>/vx/171310

It seems we are rapidly approaching the phase of replacement where you aren't allowed to comment on everything failing because it might slow down things a bit to try and do patchwork. Even telling niggers how measuring works is approaching hatecrime it seems, which warrants your immediate termination. No no, not termination from your job, your life.

Precisely the root cause of the above troubles, which a certain fucktard isn't cognizant of. Not only that, lobbyists have allowed fines to become deductibles for megacorps, but when a little business gets hit with a 500 petroshekel fine one time, they don't get to claim that as a deduction? Fuck the entire system.

Hey shitheel, got another one for you: "Apeel". FDA labeled it as a (((GRAS))) due to the use of "purified", IE: highly processed monoglycerides and diglycerides. Do you even know what those are commonly known as?
That's right: trans fats. AKA: transitional semi-synthetic fats caused by hydrogenation, which is the unnatural addition of hydrogen to molecules thereby creating a well known health hazard. Do you know a diabetic? Get them to stop eating and drinking EVERYTHING that is hydrogenated. By force if need be.

(((Bill Goyimgates))), not even his real name, gave that company a 100k petroshekel fund in 2012, then a 1mil petroshekel bonus in 2015. The Gates Foundation then helped that company circumvent the FDA using his lawyer-lobbyists to claim that the "0.66% citric acid" plus "99.34% (((OTHER INGREDIENTS))) were perfectly natural and safe [to consume]".

But guess what EU tests revealed: "slightly below individually hazardous amounts of arsenic, mercury, cadium, lead, palladium, ethyl acetate, and heptane were discovered... in trace amounts (single unit consumption)". Mind you, this is for ONE small apple, avocado, lime, or lemon.
The process of converting grape seed oil into said mono- and diglycerides adds those in, along with assuredly multiple unnamed toxic/mutagenic chemicals and elements.

How weird is it to see the same pattern over and over again! It's a real mystery, Scoob.

Go ahead. Keep consuming the (((GRAS))). Or, as a decent portion of EU biologists and chemists call them: Generally Recognized As Suicide.

Yep, that's a huge pattern.

https://organicinsider.com/newsletter/organipeel-apeel-controversy-key-takeaways-coating-fungicide-your-weekly-organic-insider/
-According to Orsi Dézsi, executive director and CEO of OMRI, “OMRI reviewed and approved Apeel’s Organipeel as a fungicide for post-harvest use, not as a fruit coating for use in further processing of organic products. OMRI reviews products for the uses indicated by the manufacturers, not for every conceivable use.
If an OMRI Listed® product is used in an application beyond those indicated in its OMRI listing, it could be out of USDA organic compliance.
When it comes to the post-harvest handling of produce, OMRI bases its policy on NOP 5023, a guidance document from the National Organic Program (NOP) that intends to clarify what is permitted based on the USDA organic regulations."

4th Industrial Revolution Distributism

"3D printers and a house"

The failures of socialism and capitalism have been made obvious in the 20th and 21st century respectively. Socialism failed to achieve a classless society, and instead resulted in some of the most oppressive regimes in human history. Capitalism failed to spread prosperity to the working classes and resulted in the concentration of wealth in the hands of a few plutocrats. Both systems centralized control, decimated the environment, collapsed birthrates, and robbed individuals of agency. In the interests of freedom, dignity, prosperity, the environment, and stability, a better system is needed.
Socialism and neoliberal capitalism both formed as reactions to the industrial revolution, and any solution going forward will likewise need to cater to the needs of the times. Socialism attempted to solve the massive inequality between the bourgeoisie and the proletariat by empowering the state to seize the means of production. Neoliberal capitalism simply assumed the free market would solve society's ills. Neither of these solutions worked, but what to replace them with? Fascism resulted in a totalitarian nightmare, and anarchy in practice has only lasted a few months at best. Distributism, the idea of decentralizing the means of production, was proposed as a solution in the 20th century. However, distributism has never been tried and with good reason; classical distributism suggests going back to an agrarian lifestyle and artisanal goods. No one will willingly give up the comforts of industrial society.
The benefits of industrialization come from mass production, while the drawbacks come from the centralization of control. Mass production allows for the creation of cheap consumer goods. Centralizing control results in less freedom and more corruption. Therefore, any solutions must be able to compete with economies of scale and must be decentralized. Distributism would obviously be decentralized, but an agrarian society of artisanal produced goods could simply not compete with mass production. Distributism needs an upgrade.
The first industrial revolution gave us electricity and machinery but made us dependent on power companies. The second revolution gave us steel and mass production but made us dependent on large scale manufacturers. The third industrial revolution gave us all of mankind's information at our fingertips but made us dependent on internet service providers and semiconductor manufacturers. The 4th industrial revolution will focus on artificial intelligence, automation, and biotechnology and has the potential to either further enslave us or truly set us free.
If adopted by socialism or capitalism the 4th industrial revolution will focus on surveillance and changing the human condition using biotechnology. Power has further centralized with each industrial revolution and a true surveillance state would be the ultimate expression of centralization. Declining birthrates show that humanity is simply not psychologically suited for modern society so a "new man" will be necessary for the continuation of either system. If ideologies of centralization are allowed to continue, what truly makes us human is at stake.
In the third industrial revolution many "open source" projects were developed by various online communities such as Linux, the Maker Movement, and the Precious Plastics Movement. Such movements show that individuals and decentralized communities can produce goods on a smaller scale. 3D printers, CNC machines, small-scale bioreactors, miniature foundries, and kilns all allow for the creation of goods and are all capable of supporting larger industries. These technologies would allow for distributism to compete with mass production. Chief among these technologies is the bioreactor, which can support everything from plastics, to fertilizers, to semiconductors.
Large scale production may benefit from producing many goods at once, but such processes are not very adaptable. Take an oil refinery for example which can cost millions to adjust a process. A small yeast fermentation chamber only costs a few thousand dollars at most and is much more adaptable because the microorganisms inside can easily be switched out. Adaptable processes would allow communities to shift their production focus depending on their needs. Key components and materials would need to be standardized so that local communities could trade and coordinate production with one another. One could argue that society has standardized parts under centralized modes of production, but one only needs to look at a modern smart phone to know that this is incorrect. Likewise, modularity should also be enforced across different communities. Machinery needs to be made so that one part can easily be switched with another, and chemicals manufactured to specific compositions and purities. Standardization and quality control would be two major functions of any state with a distributist economy.
The primary function of the state should be to ensure that healthy families are being formed for the sake of the continuation of our species. To do this a state must create safe and stable communities for families to thrive. Must take steps to guarantee, as best as possible, the physical, mental and economic health of the populace. Protect the population from foreign and domestic threats be they physical threats, economic threats, or moral threats. Research innovative solutions to compete with foreign competition and strategic adversaries. And to mediate conflict and competition among citizens.

I envision that a family would be given a choice on what to produce by the elected local government.

>The bottleneck is threefold, teamwork, raw material and scale.
Teamwork would be difficult. Coordinating research and production across different communities could be challenging especially since each community would be primarily focused on it's own needs. The state would need to help unify the population.
I don't think raw material will be an issue though. With the biotech revolution the materials of the future will not be extracted from the Earth; they will be grown.
I would like you to elaborate on the scale problem though. I think small-scale processes can work.

>I would like you to elaborate on the scale problem though.
Bigger companies and factories can produce more units of product per unit of time and labor.
Which is cheaper for everyone.
Small-scale production only needs to run for situational needs.
Factories run almost at all times which means there needs to be transport and storage and retailers and whatever else.
Each additional needed thing or step increases cost, the only way to recoup it is by increasing the price of the produced unit.
Factories and large business can have niche machines running at all times as the real money isn't in artisanal goods but in bulk production.
At least that was how it was.
Granted theres also some caveats.
Artisanal singular produced goods is essential to bootstap into a full factory anywhere.
Last point is efficiency the more efficient a factory or logistics chain is the less energy and time is consumed. A 0.001% for an at home 3D printer just isn't that much of a big deal for human perception.
That same 0.001% increase in efficacy at large scales means big business just saved billions over the year.
A bad unit can be catastrophic, because is usually more cost effective in most cases to make the damn thing correctly even in the event of a bad unit they can recoup the cost.
Small producers would be wiped out, which demands and even higher standard from individuals.
Bigger operations get around it by having multiple people.
Usually...
Anyway single production units aren't efficient, which is part of why the division of labor exists.
Hyper specialized countries are more easily prone to being destabilized. Cutting the supply chain of goods, information, manpower or energy.
Single unit per family reduces that supply chain greatly. The energy required would quadruple compared to how it is now.
Maybe not.
Having each individual home or house or family be able to be self sufficient and get back better is a great idea.
At minimum big companies, factories and groups would have to be at least better than at home convenience or far cheaper.

Frankly I'm not seeing why emulating the Greek city-states is needed. Every house can be a transmitter or reciever being isolated in information gets ever incredibly harder to do. Which is a good thing, communication redundancy.
A gun behind every blade of grass of sorts.
Information is extremely costly, being able to freely share it has saved more money and lives than could be gained by hiding it. Which is crazy. Even with protecting information and ideas it's been to the benefit of everyone.
I would view Distributism more as a backup to pick yourself by the bootstrap sort of thing.

This is true, but small scale processes are easier to shift to local demands. It allows for more adaptability and innovation.

>The energy required would quadruple compared to how it is now.
Part of the reason I enthuse about bioreactors is because biological processes require very little energy.

>Every house can be a transmitter or receiver
That would be based and definitely in line with distributist principles.

Triple P is back: Pony Prompt Pomf! What are we gonna do in this thread, big bro Sven?
*Smacks Lips*
I'm gonna present you with a peeeeeeeeee... prompt. Prompt. That's what I was gonna say. You, are gonna read it, and be so inspired that you can't help yourself but to write entire walls of text on the subject matter(Or maybe like three sentences) whatever, it's gonna be great... Great.

Here's that prompt, be inspired:
>Be Anon and be in Reversed Gender Roles Equestria.
>You're happily married and have herd with two lovely mares, or well that used to be the case.
>But now all they do is bicker with each other.
>This domestic issue has gone so far that a quiet dinner-table is preferable to a one were you talk because all your two waifus do is fight with each other.

<You can choose who they are and what they fight over.
<
<Here's some examples (only for inspiration):

>Who? : :rainbow-dash: Rainbow Dash and :mayor-mare: Mayor Mare.
>Why? : Rainbow crash keeps demolishing walls, windows, and roofs in Ponyville and Mayor has had enough with her excuses.

>Who? : :rarity: Rarity and :suri-polomare: Suri Polomare.
>Why? : They have their past but now their clothing enterprises also compete with each other all over Equestria.

>Who? : :aryanne: Aryanne and :zecora: Zecora.
>Why? : Aryanne hates how her precious Anon is being defiled by a filthy Zigger while Zecora thinks Aryanne is a horse-nahtze.

Oh, the drama! How will ur Anon mend their pony hearts and make them see reason? Ponies please! This, this is about love. But they cannot see. idk ^^

"Shining and Cadance have been snapping at each other excessively and this is perhaps the first time in months they've held back."
>Pinkie responds with a smile.
>"Sure thing Shining Armor's tail."
>The rest of the girls are slightly confused, but your lovey dovies are shocked Pinkie even acknowledged something was off.
"To give you context years ago Shining Armor made a friend—"
"and was the cutest teen filly anyone could talk with."
>Unsurprisingly they gasp, but so does Shining Armor and Cadance.
>Twilight starts breathing faster.
>"You mean all this time... my magic turned you into a stallion?"
>"Oh my."
"No my Shining Armor was always and is a mare."
>Twilight trying to reconcile the news asked the question on everypony's tongue.
>"Why didn't you tell me?"
>Shining the strategic defensive genius picks up.
>"Twilie, it's about my friend. My very special friend who I'm married with. He needed protection and I can't just change how I look."
>They gasp and exclaim again.
>"Princess Mi Amor Cadenza is actually Prince Mi Amor Cadenza!"
>Cadance speaks up.
>"No I'm a mare and so is Shining Armor and she was always a mare as well."
>"We have a very special friend and lover..."
>"It can't be Queen Chrysalis can it?"
>"Ew no, it's our alien friend."
>Unsurprisingly Spike is handed quite a few bits.
>Maybe filing him in on zomponies and other classified threats warped his perspective, then again he turned out alright.
>"So make sure you all stay calm because he's been sitting here with us this whole time right between Me and Cadance."
>Taking off the disguise you're exposed in perhaps the first time with so many other ponies.
>"He's, he's—"
>"Who is he?"
>Rarity the rumor monger she is speaks out.
>"The mysterious Tall Dick of Canterlot! Who happens to always show up where ever Shining Armor investigated. Especially the case of the Hoo-Hoo's fabulous fashion fiasco."
>You give a small shudder, another reason why you're almost always totally nude.
"It's why I swore off the idiocy that is ball bras."
>Twilight the nerd horse can't help but defend the enchanted clothing.
>"It's the sole reason why the population ratio is only 5 to 1 instead of 21 to 1."
>Rainbow Dash has her priorities straight.
>"So you're just hanging in the wind, don't tell us you don't a sheath guard either."
>Instead of answering Fluttershy pipes up.
>"But in the Sunny-Side Up news Shining had pictures taken showing he, I mean she was wearing them."
>Twilight about to pass out from imagining a poor defenceless alien stallion hears another knock out piece of news.
>"It's actually a milk reservoir, helps keep in shape and he loves the taste."
>"But he loves my milk the most."
>"How come nopony ever saw your power pussy then, sugar cube."
>A quick glance was all that's needed for them to understand.
>"Sweet Celestia yall been doing it in public for how long?"
>Pinkie Pie thankfully breaks the ice.
>"Since the beginning 'cause he's wearing sexy alien socks."
>Twilight passes out, horn and wings throbbing with lust and blood.
>All the other mares, thirsty to catch a peek at your one of a kind lewd body pause as they realize you have two of the biggest baddest ponies with enough fire power combined to potentially match Twilight Sparkle.
>Also you the wild card.
>Rarity had that glint in her eyes every pony gets when they think they're being clever.
>"How about I join your lovely—"
>In stereo both Shining and Cadance and you instantly shoot her down with a no.
>Then Rarity smuggly grins.
>"Your friendship with benefits problem is you have three alpha head mares even if you're a stallion."
>This statment fills you with dread.
>If anything is every simple enough to be stated as is, it becomes inversely as difficult.
"What's an alpha head mare?"
>The following management-babble about pony sexual relationships, is biggest baddest mare is bestest and needs to show she has the biggest dick in the room.
>That didn't feel right though.
>Even when both your mares are begrudgingly nodding.
"No, that doesn't seem right, that's not the full story. All the evidence doesn't fit."
>It's a pensive silence.
>"Ummm, you are the father for Flurry Heart?"
>You nod.
>Freezing in place an uncomfortable idea floats up
>you've been banging Shining Armor unprotected all this time.
>It's at that point Shining Armor starts sniffling trying to put on a brave face.
>Cadance pulls Shining Armor into a hug, pulling you in to.
>The love princess talks.
>"Ponies are married almost around the time their eggs are fertile, that's when the family home is secured and the traditional third honeymoon begins to ensure a successful pregnancy."
>Mouth fills with lead.
"Maybe."
"Maybe it's because of what I am."

Thank for your tribute. You will not be forgotten. Your legacy will live on and you will be celebrated forever.

Occult Facade, I always have to read your stuff a few hundred times before I grasp a gist of what is going on but what's so great about you is that if I do read it diligently I often find the answers to my questions.

Though, having said that, I understand like 70% of this story after reading it a few times. ^^

/MLPOL/ Movie Night

We like movie nights on Fridays. These movie nights are usually prefaced with a Pre-Stream event before we watch a movie or two, which is then normally followed by several episodes of Ponies.

Registering an account on the streaming sites we go to is not required.

The Pre-Stream for the Movie Night usually starts at 7:00pm EST.
https://cytu.be/r/FlappyPterodactyl is the normal room for the Pre-Stream.

The Movie Night proper usually starts at around 8:00pm or 8:30pm EST.
Location varies depending on various factors.

Welcome and good tidings to you dear viewers! It's still chilly in the morning and very warm in the afternoons. That's spring for ya.

We meet once again based on a mutual love of ponies and a lack of care for political correctness. Time passes, but it doesn't have to be wasted. Make memories.

For the regular playlist this week, I started us off with a couple of episodes of The Red Green Show, , a few animations (both recent and classic), and some PMVs. We've got a Cinemare Sins wpisode, a lore theory episode about what if Cadance was a Villain, and Episode 1 of 《Misty Dream》, “Onset of Moonrise”, by Viento Studio.

Further, we have a few bumpers that I haven't seen, and plenty of music and PMVs to keep things running well.

We'll be finishing off our series of Grimgar: Of Fantasy And Ash tonight. I'd like to add the OVA to the playlist, but if the regular streaming site is out, that might not work. It would be a hot springs-ish animation set between episode 2 and 3, if memory serves.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Episode 11 - Between Life and Death
The sight of Death Spot has paralyzed Merry and we see a flashback of her previous encounter with the giant kobold. When she snaps out of it, she leads the party away, since they would be at a disadvantage in the open field.

Episode 12 - See You Tomorrow
Ranta manages to escape Death Spot and eventually reunites with the others. They attempt to flee to the surface but Death Spot follows them and blocks the way out.

Episode 2.5 (OVA) - Youth Hung on the Bath Wall--One More Centimeter

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

That'll about do it for the preamble. You know the drill by this point. Party over here:

Salutations, faggots. I have been in hibernation these last few months, but have once again entered my active cycle. I descend now from the heavens like a vengeful whirlwind, ready to tear down the pillars of this world and bring about the final violent close of our wretched Kali Yuga. Gaze upon my works, ye mighty, and despair. And by this I mean: I am about to take a gigantic steaming dump on yet another mediocre work of My Little Pony fanfiction written almost a decade ago.

>what is this?
You all know perfectly well what this is. For those of you that don't, I would prefer you remain eternally confused.

>why are you doing this?
Not even I know the answer to that anymore.

Also, thanks to whatever drawfag created the OP image; it's been one of my favorites for awhile now. At least I'm assuming it was one of our drawfags. It would be a pretty bizarre coincidence if some random derpi artist had drawn something that hyper-specific by pure chance.

Alright, so. I'm assuming most people at least know this fic by reputation, which is the only way I know it. As with every other fic I've reviewed, I'm going into this one more or less blind. The only thing I really know about it is that apparently it is Fallout: Equestria amped up to eleven: more blood, more cum, more edge, more insanity. And, last but probably far from least: more words.

Yes, that's right, you heard right. This story clocks in at an impressive 1,780,334 words. To put this in perspective, the original Fallout: Equestria by kkat, which is literally longer than War and Peace, clocks in at a mere 620,295 words. To put it in even more perspective, In Search of Lost Time by Marcel Proust, which as far as I'm aware is still officially the longest novel ever written, is only 1,267,069 words long.

There are 77 chapters in total, with multiple chapters exceeding 30,000 words and most chapters averaging somewhere in the 20,000 range. This is by far the longest thing I've ever attempted to tackle, and I honestly can't promise I will actually finish it. However, I intend to give it the ol' college try. And, much like Captain Ahab pursuing his white whale in a famous story penned by literary limpdick Herman Melville, who only managed to squeeze out a pathetic 206,052 words; hardly a match for a virile stallion like Somber, I will do everything in my power to drag all of you sad sacks down into the watery abyss with me, as I pursue this mad and probably hopeless quest.

I will see you on the other side, gentlemen. May God have mercy on our souls.

Chapter 1: Inception

>Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons
>By Somber
>Chapter 1: Inception
Well, this is off to a great start. Protip: no matter how your story is formatted and/or published, the odds are good that the title and author will be made apparent to whoever is reading it. You don't need to include this information in the text itself. Viewing this on fimfic, we can just scroll up a little and see what the book is called and who wrote it. To get the chapter title, we don't even have to do that much; it's literally written on the line directly above where the text begins. Perhaps Somber thought his chapter title was just so amazing that the reader would want to read it again immediately after having read it the first time. Snark aside, I understand that this text wasn't originally published on FimFiction, and the author probably just copypasted it directly from a google doc. However, would it have killed him to put a little effort into formatting?

Anyway, what the fuck. Here's the actual opening line for the story:

>“Once upon a time, in the magical land of Equestria…”
Well, at least he's not starting us off with a cliche.

And speaking of, here's the next line:

>War. War never changes.
Well, in Somber's defense, I'm pretty sure anyone writing a Fallout Equestria story is contractually obligated to include both of those lines somewhere in the text. At least he got them out of the way early on.

Incidentally, this well-worn Fallout trope is a bit misleading. War actually changes quite a bit; in fact I'd say it changes almost constantly. as an aside, I've actually been doing a bit of research on the Fallout series since I last delved into one of these. I even played a bit of the first game.

Anyway, what the fuck. Instead of nitpicking every single sentence, I should probably take a look at these statements in context. Here is the actual opening paragraph:

>War. War never changes. It had consumed our home, a war fought by foreign aggressors until great and terrible magics had been unleashed to burn all the world to ash and dust. Only our constant devotion to the Princesses had carried us through that terrible war, just as our unwavering faith in the Overmare maintained our continued survival within the earth. Trust in the Overmare; obey the Overmare.
As opening paragraphs go, this one probably works well enough. It reads like a cutscene intro from a Fallout game, and sets the tone for the rest of the story. However, the transition to the next paragraph is a bit jarring:

>The grating buzz of my alarm yanked me away from sleep. I stuck my left foreleg out from under the blankets, away from my head, felt around for the end table next to the bed, found it, and proceeded to whack my PipBuck against the tabletop until the right button was hit and the noise stopped.
Written this way, the intro paragraph reads like it's supposed to be part of the narration. So, in other words, the story so far goes like this: our protagonist mare is lying in bed, narrating the backstory of the world she lives in to herself for some reason, when suddenly her alarm goes off.

Anyway, what the fuck. Our protagonist, whose name is Blackjack, is awakened by her alarm clock one morning. We learn immediately that she lives in a place called Stable 99, and that life here is highly regimented.

>I had half an hour to wash, half an hour to eat, and an hour to report to my duty station. The same as it had been every day since I’d gotten my cutie mark.
Honestly, for a militarized dystopian hellhole, two hours to get ready in the morning is pretty generous.

Anyway, she rummages around, gets dressed, and heads down to the showers. On the way, she passes some murals that give us some insight into the setting:

>‘We are all the Overmare’s foals’ declared the caption of one picture of an abstract white unicorn hugging dozens of tiny ponies in her hooves. Another showed one lone weeping mare under the caption ‘Selfishness Separates’.
In all fairness, I will actually give this author some credit. So far, this story has a much stronger opening than the original FoE did. Kkat's story opened with a long infodump about PipBucks that had my eyes glazing over by the second paragraph. This one gets right to the point: here's our character, here's where she lives, here's what she's doing. Zero preamble, just action.

>I trotted into the sector’s communal bathroom, and immediately my ears perked to a familiar giggling. Walking past a stall, I glanced in at two mares employing unauthorized and probably ineffective washing techniques. According to the training manual, behavior like that in public spaces was punishable by whipping and restriction to C class rations, so it was pretty understandable that the pair looked up with some trepidation when they spotted me.
>“Oh, it’s just Blackjack,” the dappled mare, Pastels, said in relief before flushing and snapping at her partner, “I swear, you are trying to get us flogged!”
>“Fun,” giggled the white mare, Misty Hooves from the bakery, nuzzling her. Misty was a chronic offender. I didn’t know if she liked the kiss of the whip or if there was something else wrong with her. Or both.
Somber once again shows us that he ain't fuckin' around with infodumps or angsty monologues or anything like that. He just dives head-first into the gratuitous lesbian horse sex, and damn the consequences. This ain't your grandfather's Fallout Equestria; nosiree.

>“You won’t think so if it’s Daisy doing the flogging,” I commented, and instantly their smiles disappeared. I couldn’t blame them. With the constant duty and honor bullshit, a little flank spank was one of the few reliable means of recreation, and a lot of the security mares got really... enthusiastic about it. I stepped under the spray and immediately jerked. “Cold!”
So far, this is reading like a cross between a cheesy sci-fi dystopia from the 80s and softcore Cinemax porn from the 90s. It's way too early to be making statements about overall quality, but I will once again remark that so far this reads a lot more easily than kkat's story. Somber seems to have a much better grasp on the "show, don't tell" concept, and while the setting is the same cornball edgy dystopia, this one doesn't seem to take itself or its setting anywhere near as seriously as the first one did.

Anyway, at this point we do get a bit of an infodump. We are told that Stable 99 is the last bastion of life, and everything outside is a radioactive wasteland. To venture outside the stable is instant death. Inside, the stable's population is strictly maintained at 500 ponies, each of whom has an assigned job. Each pony is required to produce one child to take over their job when they die. Ponies in Stable 99 seem to live in constant fear of "another incident." It's not clear exactly what this means, but we are given a general idea: something breaks down, and a lot of ponies die horribly. There seems to be a general assumption that the world outside is uninhabitable, and if any of their life support systems go down in here, it's all ogre.

>“Fuck! Don’t think about it…” I said, trying again to shove it from my mind. That was made ridiculously easy by Midnight trotting past me towards the atrium. Instantly, my ruby eyes popped wide at her cute flank and graceful tail. Black on black and oh she needed to be mine!
Another dyke protagonist, eh? Oh, joy.

>“Hey! Midnight! Midnight! Hey! Hey! Wait up!” I shouted as I tripped and raced to catch up with her. Of course, she didn’t wait; she never did. Instead, she picked up her pace. “Damn it, Midnight! No running in the halls!” I shouted as I ran after her. What? I was security! I was allowed to break the rules when pursuing a fine flank!
So Midnight is this story's Velvet Remedy? Oh, joy.

Anyway, Blackjack goes trotting after some hot pone-tang, and is immediately apprehended by two other security mares, Daisy (mentioned earlier) and Marmalade. Daisy is described as being abnormally large, and earlier we were given the impression that she is physically intimidating.

>All security unicorns were supposed to know a selection of spells for policing the stable. Me… I had telekinesis… and telekinesis… and oh! Did I mention telekinesis? I couldn’t cuff or stun or do interrogation spells to save my life; all the practice I’d put in merely gave me a migraine.
Another unicorn who can only do the basic telekinesis spell? Oh, joy. I hope this author at least has the sense to put some reasonable limits on his tragically underpowered protagonist's tragically overpowered spell. Because if I have to watch another sanctimonious pipsqueak wander around the wasteland hucking boxcars at alicorns for another half million words, I might actually kill someone. Somepony. Whatever.

>The huge atrium was the heart and soul of pony life in 99. Almost half the stable could fit in the room for large events, more if everypony was really friendly. Huge support pillars had been sculpted in a parody of tree trunks, and the support beams had been fashioned to resemble branches. That was about the extent of trying to make 99 look like something outside.
As with the first Fallout Equestria, it's not clear how much this character ought to know about the world she lives in. The author actually hasn't nailed down the timeframe this story takes place in, but it's been explicitly mentioned that both Blackjack's mother and grandmother had held the same job she was, and there is an implication that her lineage goes back even further than this. In any case, she's clearly spent her entire life inside this stable. Does she know what a tree is? Does she know what the outside looks liked? Or looked like? Again, it would be helpful if we had some clue exactly how much knowledge of the old world was preserved in these Stables, and exactly how much of that knowledge would logically be passed down to the average Stable-dweller. This problem created huge logic issues in the original FoE; it will be interesting to see how this author handles it.

Anyway, what the fuck. Blackjack goes down to the Atrium. Apparently she still has hoofcuffs on, because Marmalade and Daisy put a pair of hoofcuffs on her and then jokingly refused to take them off. What a couple of merry pranksters; it's nice to see that ponies still like to have fun around here.

>I passed the cafeteria where ponies loaded bowls with green recycled algae slime, scooped recycled fungus cubes onto trays, collected synthetic recycled carrot sticks and apple flakes into bowls, or heaped up stacks of green recycled grass chips, brown recycled hay chips, and white recycled cake chips upon their plates. All the food in 99 was recycled into more food. All the waste in 99 was recycled. We were recycled. And yes, even having lived here my entire life, I still found it easier to pretend that the machines just magically made the food poof into being. Still, despite being made out of recycled poo water, the chips were pretty tasty!
I'm told the Indians had a saying: when the chips are down, the buffalo is empty. In all seriousness, though, it's nice to see the author putting some thought into this stuff. I don't think kkat ever addressed how food in the Stables worked, and as I recall most of what the wasteland ponies ate was just prewar canned goods, which for some reason they still had in abundance more than 200 years after the megaspells.

Anyway, Blackjack still has the hoofcuffs on, so she goes to the table where Midnight is sitting. As luck would have it, Midnight is a PipBuck technician, which means she probably knows something about getting cuffs off. A couple of other ponies are there, by the name of Rivets and Textbook; not sure if they will be important characters or not.

It's clear enough that Blackjack whose name I just realized can be shortened to BJ has been after Midnight's no-no parts for awhile now, and it's equally clear that it's a one-sided crush. The author is probably using the original story as a jumping off point, so it's not surprising that there would be a couple of parallels. The obvious parallel here is that kkat's protagonist, Littlepip, had a one-sided crush on Velvet Remedy. However, LP spent most of the early story pining away silently after Velvet, whereas BJ seems to prefer a more direct approach.

>“Which means you’re intelligent. Skilled! That you possess far more competence than a lowly security pony like myself!” I said as she hesitated. I almost had her convinced! “I’ll pay you in oral sex!” I blurted. Textbook turned the shade of a spoiled apple, and Rivets covered half her face as she chuckled.
I was beginning to worry that there wouldn't be any cringey sex humor in this story, but it looks like I can put that fear to rest.

Anyway, BJ makes an ass of herself in front of her would-be lady friend, said lady friend wanders off in disgust, one of the ancillary characters makes a perfunctory "that went well" kind of joke, and the laugh track rolls.

>“I had no idea. I didn’t think you were into mares,” Rivets said with a smile, munching on her grass chips.
Really? I don't get the impression that subtlety is Blackjack's strong suit. Plus, she was very publicly chasing Midnight down the hallway just a few minutes ago, and from Midnight's response it's clear she does this sort of thing quite often.

Anyway, BJ and Rivets talk shop for a bit, and we learn a bit more about how things work around here. This stable is...strange. Jobs are hereditary: if one pony is a maintenance technician, that means her daughter will be a maintenance technician, no arguments allowed. Also, due to the strict population controls, if an adult pony dies, their child must immediately step in and take over their job.

I can understand the reasoning behind this arrangement in theory, but in practice this means that ponies are often thrust into jobs that they are not even remotely qualified to do. Specifically, it seems like the current Overmare is actually a young filly (I'm assuming something like picrel), because her mother was the Overmare, and presumably she died at some point. We also learn that a young filly is going to be taking over her mother's job in maintenance the following day due to that mare's untimely death. All in all, it seems like this stable's social structure is more than a little screwy.

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=13oK9HMEtv8

Anyway, they banter a little more, and then Rivets takes her leave. The scene ends in a page break.

We rejoin Blackjack in the security team's briefing room, because apparently BJ's job is security. She still has the fucking cuffs on.

>Daisy and Marmalade snickered as I limped in, and I gave the rest of the security mares a sheepish grin and a shrug before taking my seat. Gin Rummy just sighed and looked at me with a slow, disappointed shake of her head. Still, wasn’t much she could do.
The hoofcuffs gag is funny, but it's getting a little illogical at this point. Are we seriously supposed to believe that in an entire room full of security ponies, not a single one, including this new character Gin Rummy, who is apparently head of security, knows how to take these stupid things off? Between the wacky job assignments and the Paul-Blart-tier security personnel they clearly employ, I'm impressed this stable has managed to survive for as long as it has.

Anyway, there's a fairly important-looking infodump that I should probably just drop in verbatim:

>Everypony in Stable 99 had a job assigned to them from birth. Maintenance ponies maintained, security ponies secured, and baker ponies baked. The forty or so males in Stable 99 were no different: they were breeding equipment. From birth, they had their segregated quarters in medical and were signed out by mares for reproductive purposes and, more frequently, recreational. There were twenty unicorns and twenty earth ponies on the breeding rotation. Once a male reached… how old was it? Twelve? Fifteen? -- they were put into breeding. Of course, to keep the number in rotation the same, that meant that a male had to be taken out of breeding and retired.
I'm assuming "retired" is a euphemism for "killed." I'm getting sort of a "Logan's Run" vibe from this place.

Anyway, the leadup to this is that a male seems to have escaped when it was his time to be retired.

Thread number three. Last one is apparently at bump limit.

Previous thread: >>336928 →

I'm lazy so I'm just going to copypaste the OP text from the last one since it still applies. Important bits have been bolded for emphasis.

Basically all that is said in that OP applies to this one but I'll go through the 'rules' of this thread here as well.

So, the main point of this thread is to facilitate and enable Anons' writefagging; in a similar way pride facilitates and enables aids.;^P The Anons in this thread can be separated into two camps: Anons who wants help with their writing project(s) and Anons that feel inclined to help those aforementioned shrek-colored skinheads.

Crafting and beta-reading is what we do here, any critique of literature not made by a guy submitted for this thread should be incidental; it should be when you —as a beta-reader of fics posted ITT— make a comparison between the fic your reviewing and some other story for the sake of demonstrating your point, whatever it is.

This is NOT: A review thread for unsolicited rants about random media which does not fall into the mold for how to use a reference in this thread described in the above paragraph. Meaning if you're not using —like, let's pick something arbitrary— Naruto for a comparison in your critique of someone's writing itt, then don't bring it up. I understand that tangents can happen and if it's like a few exchanges with a pair of posters; then it's fine. However, don't make this a pattern and also move whatever off-thread-topic discussion to a more fitting board/thread. There's after all no problem with finding someone to converse with and share perspectives on a subject you care about but just take it to an appropriate thread. Sidenote: Nigel, these rules applies to you in a stricter fashion because I would not have to detail them with this much precision if it weren't for you.

Read this again, because it's important:

I hope that I haven't scared anybody off. This is still suppose to be a chill af thread. Funposting is very much allowed and encouraged. It really is more that some type of posting —like, things that are completely irrelevant to the thread— does not belong here. I know, rocket-science and a rule that is seldom seen and highly unique for this thread. Perhaps you could call it a... Novelty. (You) intelligent lurker, obviously get the subtext of this OP so you probably won't need to worry about any of this. I'd say if you're unsure if what you're about to post belongs in the thread, then post it anyway. The worst that can happen is that someone tells you to move it to another thread and you get a better insight of what post belongs in thread. If you consist on fish and chips, however, I'd suggest you think twice on what you're posting and perhaps even ask beforehand if your rant about lefties and Undertale belongs here.

If there are any questions on the OP, ask away?

Overall pretty good. There are still some ESL and spelling issues here and there but your English is improving. I can also see what you were getting at in your previous post, trying to focus on just raw description of what's happening in a scene without a lot of added fluff, and I think you were mostly successful. I don't have any difficulty following what's going on in the scene or visualizing the action. The only notable exception is this:

>Junko could feel herself getting angry despite herself. She had felt for a while now that she'd figured out the optimal emotional state to be in a fight. To her, it was inbetween angry and disintrested, which she refered to as focus. If she wasn't a bit angry, she felt she couldn't bring down her fist of justice upon the evil ghouls but if she only saw red, then she'd make mistakes due to... well not thinking. It just bothered her so that this tiny ghoul felt so confident in her presence. It felt amiss and made her feel uneasy, like she missed something vital. Like she was walking into a trap but that feeling hurt her pride. That someone so small could hurt her.
There are two problems here. First is that it's a bit wordy. This feels like you're sliding back into that overly-verbose, confusing descriptive style you said you were trying to move away from. Second is that everything here is basically a description of the character's emotions. This is likely why it ends up getting muddy and overly-descriptive: complex emotional states are difficult to put into words. This is one of those "show, don't tell" situations. Instead of describing what the character is feeling, try to show us how they are feeling through their actions. The basic thrust of this text is that Junko usually tries to maintain her composure during a fight, but Madoka's taunting is getting her riled up and she is starting to make mistakes. So come up with some action that conveys this. Maybe Junko grunts or growls, or she throws a reckless punch and misses, that sort of thing.

Here are some other things I noticed:

>a "come at me bruh" kind of gesture.
>went along with the bantz
Outside of greentext writing, you really want to avoid casual, shitposty language like this in your narration. The only exception would be if the story is narrated in first person and the narrator uses this kind of language in everyday conversation. It goes back to what I was saying about narrative voice: if a character is narrating, you want the tone of your narration to feel like that person's natural speaking voice. However, if there is no narrator and you're just describing action in the third person, you want the tone to be as neutral and utilitarian as possible. In the case of Madoka's gesture, it would be more helpful to just describe the movement she's actually making, instead of relying on the reader's presumed understanding of a colloquialism.

>she flunged herself
Usually, adding 'ed' to the end of a verb will make it past-tense. However, "flung" is already the past-tense of "fling," so you don't need to add the 'ed'. For some reason, "flinged" is also incorrect, even though it logically ought to work. English is a very stupid language sometimes.

>A small amount of surprise showed itself on Junko's face.
This phrasing is awkward. It would be easier to just say "Junko was surprised" or something to that effect. There are degrees of being surprised, but surprise itself can't really be quantified, thus you can't really have a small amount of surprise show itself.

> She kinda just thought the situation was humours
Unless she's a medieval doctor, the situation should be "humorous." Also, it should be "kind of," not "kinda," see my above statement on using casual language in narration.

>She swung it with all her might and it looked like she went from a reverse 'c' to a normal 'c'.
I think I basically understand what's happening here, but it's still an awkward way to describe it.

>knocked the air out of her lunges
Unless Madoka is doing aerobics, the air should be knocked out of her "lungs."

--------

>Do you understand what is going on in the scene, except for contextual details like who Madoka is and such?
Generally, yes; except for what I pointed out this is well written and easy to follow. The nice thing about action sequences is they don't really require much context. You can drop the reader into a fight scene with absolutely no lead-in whatsoever and they can still follow what's happening, even if they aren't familiar with the characters or don't know why they're fighting.

The only issue I have with this structurally is that it isn't clear how these two scenes connect to each other. I'm not sure if this whole thing is meant to be read as one piece, but based on what's here the two scenes feel disjointed. It reads like this:

>two characters are fighting
>we're not sure why
>page break
>now two completely different characters are fighting
>we don't know why these two are fighting either

Theoretically you could make an entire story like this, where it's just a collection of scenes in which anime girls beat the shit out of each other round-robin style for reasons that are never explained. It might even be kind of fun to read. However, without some overarching narrative connecting it all together, it wouldn't be much of a story.

As an aside, these names sound kind of familiar. From "Madoka" I'm assuming these characters are from Madoka Magica. I saw it a long time ago, but I don't remember who the other characters are or what the show was about exactly. All I remember is that I thought I was sitting down to watch a cutesy magical-girl show, but it turned out to be really surreal and fucked-up.

Hey! Glad you still remember my fic. Even if you remember it for those reasons. *insert an ungodly amount of elypses*
>That said, I wouldn't say that writing should be entirely discounted. Even if you have a great story with great characters and you can see every scene clearly inside your head, if you can't communicate it to people in language they can understand, you'll never be able to make the audience see what you see.

I'm starting to think execution is what truly makes the artist.
You don't actually need to be talented or skilled in order to put together a masterpiece in your head. With some luck and enough time, anyone can have a good idea eventually. Even a bunch of good ideas.
Anyone, even an autistic Vtuber fag, or a vitriolic Honkai player. It's easy enough, probable enough for the lazy to cling on.
But only a very small fraction of those people, actually put the work into making their vision a reality.
A much smaller fraction, actually see it through. And even then, only a miniscule percentage actually do it right.

Execution does override intent. And no amount of daydreaming about ebin stories is going to make you an artist. There's so much more about it besides having a vision. If you can't even express that "vision" by yourself, you're no artist.
