ReplyDeleteAhhh.
ReplyDeleteThis.
Ponibooru you trolls.
Disclaimer in advance.
ReplyDeleteI DONT KNOW WHAT WAS I THINKING WHEN I WROTE THIS. HONEST.
Okay, maybe not. But it was still a fit of insanity. Now be off with ye.
Too weird! Loved it but it was very creepy.
ReplyDeleteJust read it.
ReplyDeleteOh my god.
That is hilarious xD
@Grif
How the heck did you got the idea for THAT?
xD
Aww DAMMIT, and here I was hoping to eventually get the monopoly on this ship! Oh well. I'll wait a bit before I unleash my own creation upon EqD.
ReplyDeleteVery creepy and weird, but in a good way. Liked it a lot, good work.
ReplyDelete@Grif This is fine, nothing you should be ashamed of. You've done well in portraying Lyra's mind. Easy to follow and nothing too hard to get a grasp of.
ReplyDeleteI thoroughly enjoyed it. Even so, others might have issues with it but take it with a grain of salt eh.
Also I'm glad you changed your mind about posting it here hehe ;)
Needs 6 alternate endings.
ReplyDeleteNAO.
The HELL did I just read....
ReplyDeleteoh well screw it.... 5 stars! lol
Where the hell have you been Grif? Do you know how sparse Lyra content is in fanfics? :P
ReplyDeleteReading now...
Really strange,but...good.
ReplyDeleteThat has to be one of the more...interesting fics I've read so far XD
ReplyDeleteWoah. What did I just read? It was so...weird. Well written, mind you...but really freaking weird.
ReplyDeleteJust for the record, I approve of this rampant insanity! (Or is that ponysanity?)
ReplyDelete...What did I just read?
ReplyDeleteI shat brix at the ending, and beginning...and middle.
ReplyDeleteAlso I love the references to Out in the Cold. :P
What. The. F*ck. I'm really not sure how to feel about this right now.
ReplyDeleteShe did move to Ponyville with Twilight Sparkle after all, so I guess it makes sense.
ReplyDeleteWhen the ship hits the fan...
ReplyDeleteNice work, I dare say.
I'm strangely okay with this.
ReplyDeleteLyra needs to be shipped with more than just Bon Bon.
Okay, this is my fourth try at writing a comment describing how amazing this is, but I just can't find the words beyond well-written, easy to follow while still being bat-s*** crazy, and Inception ain't got nothing on this when it comes to complexity. 5 stars.
ReplyDeleteWe finally get a story focusing on Lyra (and mostly with Bon-Bon)....and it's this.
ReplyDeletePoor darling Lyra :-(
Wow. Just wow. That's all I can say. And I've been lurking on giantitp for ages so I understood ALL the references XD
ReplyDeleteFor those of you wondering, Lyra's imaginary friends are all avatars of posters on another forum :P
Well that's... uh... I don't exactly know what that is...
ReplyDeleteSo... many comments! Thank ye for all your kind responses. Seriously. You bronies warm my insane heart.
ReplyDelete@Conner Cogworks
And I would read that! Fandom needs more Lyra nao.
@Flatterscheu
Two words. Pony threads.
@EsperDerek
Yesssshhhhhhhhh! Ponysanity!
@Coffee Grunt
Have an internet cookie for spotting that.
@Anon11:36
I have a feeling we chatted before on DA. :p
@Anon1:01
Hohoho. We have a spy! Ha, I challenge ye to spot all the references I crammed in. I dare ya!
Oh my God, what did I just read?
ReplyDeleteThat was horribly scary, I don't even know what happened.
IT'S BLACK OPS ALL OVER AGAIN.
Black Ops sucked. Just sayin'.
ReplyDelete@Grif
Internet cookies? Boy those ethereal, digital, inedible ones are the best kind!
Party of Lyra?
ReplyDelete...the hell is this.
ReplyDeleteReally though that was crazy.
This is completely bat-shit insane.
ReplyDeleteAnd I loved it.
Ah, the insanity of the GITP pony threads. This story is like all of that madness distilled into poor Lyra.
ReplyDeleteBy far one of the creepiest fanfics I've ever seen.
ReplyDeletePart of me wishes the torture scene was a tad longer. (no, I don't take pleasure in reading that)
I can't get the thoughts of a possible sequel out of my head. Twilight Sparkle, after noting Lyra's disillusion state, tries what she can to help Lyra out. Only thing is, Twilight has no idea about the nature of Lyra's hallucinations.
That was the good sort of creepy.
ReplyDeleteHeh, pretty funny stuff there. Kind of puts Lyra's separation from Bon Bon in later episodes in perspective.
ReplyDeleteNice job on making out of character Lyra... believable. Although I wasn't expecting this as written, especially with the cute little picture of Lyra prancing happily.
Now, if you replace "Twlight Sparkle" with "Lyra", and "Lyra" with "Phoe"...
ReplyDeleteOh no, not Lyra cheating on Bon-Bon again! Also, Bon's not a unicorn...
ReplyDeleteThis has a lot of tense issues, which keep pulling me out of the story. You should read up on how to use the subjunctive aspect. Lyra's headponies are an interesting touch, at least. Making her a complete nutter? You certainly went the extra mile.
Wait, who is this Shimmer? Real or not?
Umm, well, the twist ending made me like this more, it explained all the bizarre things that didn't make much sense. I think the very ending was a little vaguely 'gotcha', though. If this had been an honest sendup of the entire concept of shipping, it would have really gone somewhere. I dunno, it was all right.
Weird and awesome.
ReplyDelete@Grif
ReplyDeleteAnon 1:01 here. Yeeeeah okay, maybe not ALL the references. Looking over it again there were a few I didn't get (i.e, I'm sure "Lone Star from Magic School" is a ref to something) and probably a few more I missed. Oh well. CHALLENGE DENIED
This story... Was insane to say the least
ReplyDeleteI guess you could say
ReplyDelete(Puts on glasses)
Her train went swimming in the piano.
YYEEEEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAAAAHHH!!!!
@Grif where did you get the name "shimmer" for the tied up pony... dammit that's been my ponyname for 6 months now XP
ReplyDeleteI kind of want a sequel to this. I don't know why though. I'm a bit confused but I think I quite enjoyed this.
ReplyDelete@Shimmer
ReplyDeleteIt's based on a fellow forumer ponytar. So any similarities are purely coincidental. :p
@Anon 1:03
Well, there were some very obscure references I threw it for the fun which only I could understand. "Lone Star" was one of them. Heh.
@Present Perfect
ReplyDeleteDarnit, forgot about this.
Fixed the Bon-Bon is a unicorn bit. Thanks for the catch.
Throughout this whole story all i could think was "Whut?", it made me feel weird because Lyra is one of my favorite ponies. Good story no doubt, just weird lol.
ReplyDeleteP.S. I also wanted to thank you for a drawing idea, Kaiser Wearing Monocle'd Falcon, i lawl'd
I've always enjoyed the stories where the main character is at odds with their surroundings and yet try to justify their actions. It is a very delicious kind of stubborness.
ReplyDeleteReminds me of one of the first fics I read on this site, "The Disease", which was an enjoyable read.
Nitpick:
//“Gentleponies!” a blue stallion called in a distinctly French voice.//
Can you describe a voice as french? Wouldn't it be a french accent?
My only dissappointment was the dream-ending. It was well done but I've never been fond of 'em.
Hurr, Lyra, you so crazy.
ReplyDeleteHELL IS THAT NOISE.
