Comic: The Return of the Brothers // Heart's Desire

Click for full


Cereal's making a comic post- the world has truly come to an end. Personally, I welcome our new pony/robot/Internet overlords.Whatever happens first.

Above we have a sequel to a previous comic starring ghostly Flim and Flam, and below we have a comic that made me cry like a little girl. Seriously.

that second one was so sad

Piper said...

Does it count for first if MyBoy beat me?

invizibilit3 said...

@myboyj
it deserved a repost

NinesTempest said...

Heart's desire is a repost.

Seriously Cereal.

MyBoyJ said...

@invizibilit3

I agree that it's great, but it was posted just a few hours ago.

carback99 said...

Cereal the 2 one was posted already...

Agarwaen said...

A worthy repost. Made me cry like a filly too, cereal.

Travis Smith said...

#1 Saw it before, funny as original

#2 Not bad, not gonna cry, but sad

CityFlyer502 said...

I know #2 is a repost, but I didn't get a chance to comment on it. That's gotta be one of the most touching comics I've ever seen. Beautiful in every sense of the word. Now, number 1...hahahahaha...someone help me...I can't breathe...

#2:
Step 1: Play this: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=LaLegF2hAxI
Step 2: Read Comic
Step 3: Bawwwww

ShadowCell said...

"Heart's Desire" is worth reposting.

Celestia said...

#1 That's rather..hehe oh dear is about the best thing I can use to describe it.

#2 Oh...that's very sweet and sad at the same time, it didn't load earlier so I would have missed it if not for the repost.

Great comics.

Frith said...

Seth scooped you 8 hours ago.

Al_Skylark said...

Cereal, you are my favorite blog pony. Even when doing reposts, you do it with so much swag.

Hell yeh!
/although tears... ;n;

DrahcirAloer said...

I did enjoy the second one, even if it is a repost. I did see it when it was first posted though.

MyBoyJ said...

#1 I do not like Family Guy, there I said it. However, if you like it, go ahead. Love and Tolerate.

#2 A very touching and beautiful comic. It makes me think of the fic "Yours Truly" from last week. It's a shipping story, which I don't normally read, but it is fantastically well done and heart wrenching.

Octavia said...

Ah, I thought the second one about Heart's Desire was already posted earlier. Glad I'm not going crazy. lol

The second one, hah. I was doing a "wtf?" at first, but the end made me laugh. :P

Guarddogjr said...

I really enjoyed the second one. Tears were shed .

Nostalgia Schmaltz said...

Cereal, Y U REPOST?

It's still on the front page, even.

Vipera said...

Don't let Cereal fool you. He cried because Spike took Rarity from him.

Aquaman52 said...

@TheBlankedFile

>implying there was a single solitary person on this site who didn't already have that song playing in their head

It's basically today's default track for sad, relationship-oriented stories. XD

Octavia said...

Just realized the first one was not only a sequel to another comic by the artist, but also another Family Guy reference. Why didn't I get that?! lol

Kaijyuu said...

Heart's Desire is so, so twistable.

Love comes if you drug and/or lie to yourself for long enough!


I know what it's actually saying, but ya know, Unfortunate Implications, and all that. And, to the author's credit, I can't really think of a way to get rid of the moral twisting easily (heart's desire is needed for conflict, otherwise it'd just be sappy).

Cottonmouth said...

GOOD ENOUGH TO POST TWICE.

ShakeNDake said...

Cereal finnaly does a comic post, derps up and has the second as a repost. Ah well, it does deserve it. Better luck next time Cereal!

TheBlankedFile said...

@Aquaman52

The second time I read My Little Dashie, I played it towards the end. It...did things to me.

A Bard said...

I really wouldn't have an issue if they ever had an episode about coping with loss

Rayne said...

I was actually surprised to find Seth got to the second comic first instead of Cereal. Glad to see he still got his chance in.

It's such a heart warming piece I don't mind seeing it twice. <3 Spikity.

pmcollectorboy said...

"Flam liked little colts." Nevermind that it was the one without the mustache that gave Apple Bloom a kiss on the forehead.

Jimperator said...

That first one made me ROFL.

Second one, just wow. That's powerful stuff.

jodyjm13 said...

@pmcollectorboy
Well, Apple Bloom's not a colt...

Anyway, like MyBoyJ, I'm not a Family Guy fan, but I'm glad the rest of y'all can enjoy the first comic, as I do like the art.

ninonybox said...

The comic was indeed repost worthy!

d.munir96 said...

#2 was quite a good comic, so I guess it's okay.

MasterLuigi452 said...

#1 Ha! Classic Family Guy reference!
#2 REPOST REPOST REPOST


Also, where is Story update evening edition?
I NEED MY DAILY DOSE OF STORIES DAMN IT!

nettick said...

Everyone has said it already but i just wanna say. NUMBER 2 IS A REPOST!!!!!!!!!!

pmcollectorboy said...

"Well, Apple Bloom's not a colt..." Ha ha! Well true. I was just pointing out that the accusations of which of the Flam Brothers is a pedophile seems to have a misplaced aim. I couldn't be the only one to have found that kiss in the episode to be creepy as hell.

+1 for the second comic, repost or not.

Down2Earth said...

there must've been a derp at the changing of the gaurd. you've made me cry twice today! I told you I was a spike fan!

Gummy said...

oh lol flam and flam look like they have fallen on hard times
Indeed #2 is a repost

Destroyer said...

Dat second one ahhhh why do you have to remind me of up! Danger the movie didn't make me even budge but if you replace them with ponies i just become a wreck!

Destroyer said...

On a happier note the first one was pretty funny

Shimmer Scroll said...

I thought that second one was a repost. I don't care, though. Any references to Le Petit Prince that are that touching deserve an encore.

Daniel G. said...

Cereal, you trollin'? You just want everyone to cry again!

Nightweaver20xx said...

Is Rarity like... dead, at the end of that second one? Because that would make me cry so much harder if that comic went through their whole lives, and Spike was at her bedside when she passed of old age.

OH GOD THAT'S IT ISN'T IT >< *cry*

Kat said...

Yep, or at least in the hospital dying of old age

11Bolts said...

(Reading return of the brothers)
AHAHAHAHA
(Next comic)
sniffle

Senior Waffles said...

#1 I don't care what other people say, Family Guy is pretty darn funny.

#2 A darn good comic here as well. Again, don't care what everyone else is going to say, totally didn't see that coming. Shame it couldn't have been ready by Valentine's Day though.

u mad said...

Read it with the rarity theme

KTS said...

1. So a Family Guy reference that I kinda enjoyed.

2. AWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW

Ulrik said...

#2 could be a new Spike episode.

Ironlenny said...

Do you know what the second one taught me? Brainwashing someone into loving you is ok, as long as they're happy in the end. Time to crack out the drugs and clean out the old sensory deprivation tank.

Zero said...

I wanna cry to the second one, really I do, but the tears refuse to come. I cried during Up, so I don't know why I can't cry here. Maybe it's the lack of music? I dunno. I definitely think it's adorable, and definitely my vote for OTP, but...I dunno...

The Drifter said...

Dont worry Zero, I had the same problem as well, couldnt cry through the comic, but that didnt mean i didnt feel anything, i loved it all the same. Funnily enough, I couldnt cry when i read my Little Dashie either, and that really upset me....

The Drifter said...

Actually, I think it was because I was happy in the end at both instances. Because of how both stories portrayed the time they had together as happy ones, then that easily outweighed the inevitable ending.

Because for me, it matters not how much time you have to spend with someone you love, but what you do with that time. For it is the inevitable fate of mortals like us to eventually part ways permanently, but that should not be a cause for sadness, for it makes the precious few moments we have on this plane all the more valuable and treasured.

...yeah, im done philosophizing and whatnot.

SuperGiantRobot said...

Hey, I like colts too; the little guys are cuOh wait. You mean the other way, don't you?
