[@Flower_Mom]

As someone who has been abused, Octavia sassing her parents even though she knows it will get her abused makes sense to me. They already abuse you. If you're gonna get abused anyway, you might as well do what you can to feel like you achieved some kind of small win over them. It shows them they haven't completely beaten your spirit out of you. Everyone expects abuse victims to always be meek and helpless but often they're angry and rebellious instead.

that makes a lot of sense, thanks for your comment!

[@Metaknight145]

As someone who wrote a story that enough people liked that I got art drawn of a bunch of the scenes in it, I understand the Scissors Twilight creator on a spiritual level. When you just make something to make something you tend to just do it in one long go things going from brain to page in a marathon. Then life happens and you're forced to stop for whatever reason. And when that ends and you return to it, everything you do is worse in quality to what you did before and it's better off that you leave it unfinished then it becoming like that drawing of a horse that gets worse meme.

[@MiltonGagliardi]

A Puppet to her Fame sounds like your average '(insert name here) the Killer' story, but with Octavia instead of a generic teenager. And I love how Something Sweet to Bite basically became a slasher franchise of fanfictions. It's dumb as hell, and that's what makes it great.

[@Fariy_katt]

JEFF THE KILLER🤭

[@Banished-rx4ol]

Pretty much, it always ends like any good slasher flick with a promise of a sequel. Even did a jason vorhees and had a fantiction set in hell. Only issue is that it started out small scale then randomly became strong enough to solo the mlp verse so people starting calling it a mary sue character.

[@TheAbigailDee]

Search for Jeff the Killer pony fan art. They're pretty iconic.

[@theenderdestruction2362]

The candy mare is dumb and not the fun kind of dumb, vorhees cant solo all of hell and he's one of the stronger slashers and now from what i know she's ment to take on heaven? I hope who ever is weighting the story ends with the candy mare just seeing God and then is erased, and the only thing left of her is the campfire story's and nothing more but thats my opinion

[@TetrahedronDash]

The alternate ending of Rocket to Insanity was a really long fancomic series of Rocket to Insanity that was much different. For example, Pinkie doesn't die to Dash, only gets hurt badly and gets sent to the hospital, and Twilight cares for Dash and is trying to find a way to stop the thing that keeps giving her nightmares and occasionally turning her evil. Here's the link below to the 4 hour long dub of the entire comics of it: kzbin.info/www/bejne/gXKvq6BnhKdjZ8k

[@Vani11aDeath]

5:07 fun fact: that's actually how I found the story! I was looking for vectors of butterflies from the show for an art project and came across the fanart, good thing I was already a fan of pony horror at the time or i might have been freaked out lol.

[@thatsethfromyourcorner]

Fun fact: The Friendship Test is most likely based off of the horror movie Would You Rather. I don't have any confirmation, but it doesn't take much to realise how damn similar they are with both being death games and involving the players being forced to make sick choices with only one surviving in the end. Both even have the exact similar choices at one point to either whip one character with a rod or stab someone else. Eg. In Would You Rather, a man gets beaten to death with a rod as a result of so many players choosing it, exactly the same as Rainbow dying in The Friendship Test because of the same reason. I just wanted to point this out as I've never heard anyone adress it before-

[@thatsethfromyourcorner]

@Skyena Yup. Same for me

[@UncleSamsoniteLover69]

Honestly, I kinda wish they didn’t reuse torture techniques from the movie. As someone who’s seen Would You Rather, it made the story seem derivative and a bit boring. Maybe the torture techniques for each pony should’ve aligned better with that pony’s element of friendship? I know that’s what the original story was going for (the text even mentions it), but I don’t think it was executed very well. It’s a shame too, since The Friendship Test is the story I think had the most potential because of its premise.

[@thatsethfromyourcorner]

@@UncleSamsoniteLover69 I thought about it too! Would You Rather was one of the hardest movies to ever watch for me. Then when I was listening to a reading of The Friendship Test I kinda rolled my eyes when I realised the not-even-subtle similarity. There's nothing wrong with taking inspiration! I even personally think that Magpiepony is one of the best Mlp grimdark authors. It's just that the similarities get painfully distracting to the point where I can literally predict what happens next when I've seen Would You Rather beforehand-

[@paigechampagne2757]

I think there's a horror movie called the friendship game, a bit different than here but still could be influence for it

[@littlehellspawn665]

I was just about to say!

[@ClownHoundII]

I think woth "A Puppet to Her Frame" I think she knew because abusive parents often have no sense of respect, boundaries or respect of boundaries. Some awful parents think it's funny to talk about their sex life as if their kid isn't there or to make the kid uncomfortable. Or they just don't care. Octavia might be using that against them like some victims of abuse do. Throw back the nasty in their face.

[@EffMinus]

could be that’s disgusting

[@Nerodotnet]

Imma be real I read this before I watched that bit of the video and I think you’re right. I lived with an abusive parent who did similar, and to give the author/Octavia’s character some credit i also gained the habit of snarking back in personal experience so idk. Could still just be a classic case of eh writing but guess we’ll never know

[@Natsukiisthebestgirl]

They scared me when I was a child, but since I'm older now I don't find them scary any more lol. Those infection AUs still give me the creeps though

[@lusaminefushiguro5332]

Something Sweet To Bite is interesting in the sense that the whole thing can be read as some kind of slasher film and just like slashers,it got a bazillion sequels. Not sure if that was on purpose but if it was,I'm willing to assume the author has an interesting sense of humor by willingly giving their slasher pony OC the same treatment all those big dogs get (like Jason once went to space y'all,the slasher sequel pit could be its own genre)

[@AckReikTheGreatest07]

Sad to see Cheerilee's Garden haven't gotten any attention.

[@EffMinus]

[@zitayuseo]

we do!

[@Endermeep]

the way eff talked about the creator of scitwi was too harsh. while the creator was not particularly chatty, they still seemed generally nice. they made all that art for free (as far as i'm aware), it wasn't their job, so they weren't obligated to be grateful for the attention they received, nor were they obligated to have a consistent post schedule. as someone who has chronic illness myself, i believe eff shouldn't have assumed that they were coming up with excuses not to post. sickness, prolonged or not, is a valid reason for the creator not to invest a bunch of time and energy into (what i assume was) a hobby. not trying to cancel anyone, here, i just wanted to express my opinion that eff speaking about such topics in that way is insensitive.

[@EffMinus]

valid.

[@xxkittyxx2599]

Agreed. No hate to this guy cuz this channel is really cool and I like the video. However, when it came to the Scissor Twilight, its too harsh even if it is jokes. I dunno if Eff draws themselves, but drawing the same thing all the time can be draining for an artist. I use to run a blog myself and after running it for 3 to 4 years, I just lost the motivation to continue. There can also be the fact that the pressure and attention might of been too much, it feels more like a chore to continue the story than genuine fun. One thing I can agree when it comes to the artist tho is that they probably should of said sooner or later that they dont wanna draw it anymore. Motivation dies sometimes, it happens!

[@AugustRiversJr]

Yeah like...I don't think that was her being lazy. She was busy and stressed from school and personal life and as someone who's had a blog you sometimes lose motivation or get artblock and that's something you can't control.

[@AugustRiversJr]

​@EffMinusMLP well now you're the one giving a one word answer to a long message with valid criticism. No hate I'm being genuine in how it comes off.

[@lumizoomy]

Totally agree, I was about to leave a comment about it myself. As someone who has a disease that presents itself later in life, as well as having gone through a different issue that took years to sort and find an answer for medically, it was a rather hurtful thing to hear the assumption they were just being lazy. We also have no idea if they were referring to something going on with them mentally either, as we've seen how vaguely they speak in general, I wouldn't be surprised if that was a possibility 🤷 I think it's pretty clear they don't want their fans to know much about their personal life which is totally valid imo

[@XxMissLadyBlissxX]

“You and a group of friends are going skydiving…” False I am safely on the ground as I am deathly afraid of heights

[@musarathussain]

I feel like rocket to insanity is based of another episode in mlp. I dont know the exact episode but i feel like u will all rember it. So basically pinkie pie always used to bake pies for rainbowdash untill she realised that she has never actully seen her eat them. She gose on a little investigation and i dont exactly remember what happened but in the end rainbowdash forces herself to some old rotten pie to tell pinkie that she is sorry for not telling her the truth and pinkie tells her to stpo and yeah thats it.

[@sunbirth4795]

i used to know Knackerman on redit back in the day. I'm still convinced he only wrote the sequel because he forgot to include Rainbow in the first one, and from there it was a long string of 'Somehow, Candymare Survived'. I still have a soft spot for it tho. Happy to see someone discussing the entire series for once.

[@adventurekitty101]

Since it is currently 1:45 in the AM for me and I appear to just being getting this video recommended to me now. I'm going to watch this in the morning, since I needed something to listen to while drawing, and I also don't want to fall asleep to this as I'll miss out on atleast half this video and possibly not learn of more MLP creepypasta's. Lol

[@wadeyhyena1657]

I also think that Octavia's comments about her dad's "Y'know What" could've also been a direct insult at him for the amount of times that he's struck and beaten her in the story. Sometimes abuse victims will bite back at their abusers, it doesn't tend to work out well for them. But it gives them a sense of dominance over the situation, because they're able to push back against those who are committing the wrongs in the first place. Even if it doesn't work and could easily lead to them being beaten again.

[@ImmaLittlePip]

Your story at the end got me nostalgic I was in late middleschool when I jointed the MLP fandom and loved the show (I joined around early 2011 February I think) and those early formative years of the fandom was fun but the peak of the fandom (2012 - 2014) were just magical. Heck during the peak was my entire Highschool life Love how the MLP fanbase is making a huge resurgence again thanks to the horror au's heck creepy pasta its self is making a come back

[@krisbies]

I know this has been said before, but I love how the "Something Sweet" series just channels that 80s slasher energy. The plot feels like something you'd find in Trick'r'Treat (yeah i know that's not an 80s slasher but bear with me.) The absurdity of the situation, the sequels, the cliffhanger ending, these are all pretty much defining tropes of the slahser genre! Prolly my favorite MLP creepypasta.

[@brandoncole5533]

Knackerman makes it a point to write it that way and make it feel like a well known movie. Like the newest and likely last story was written to be like terrifier 2.

about rocket to insanity- there's a comic dub for the full thing (by scribbler iirc)! it's surprisingly good despite its age, like yes ofc there's some issues but it's still enjoyable. it's also cool to see the artists style improve as they go through the comic

[@maroli_zi]

Don’t you love it when lunch beeps done and one of your favorite KZbinrs uploads?

[@languid-4535]

So when I looked up rocket to insanity on KZbin a few years ago i found a really long story where Pinkie Pie actually survives and that tantibus thing that made Luna into Nightmare Moon was in her head and it had a happy ending. And I’m not gonna lie I genuinely enjoyed it, it was cheesy yeah and the random Twi-Dash was weird but it seemed like it could be an actual episode minus the murder and gore, also the one I watched had an art piece for the every scene which was really fun too, I think I’m gonna watch that again and see if it still holds up to me. Edit: I rewatched it and it still holds up it’s a nice change from a creepy pasta where it’s just “everyone dies from the demon that is so overpowered it will never even be challenged by someone” it’s a really good story imo and it’s actually an entire comic dub really good and the writing genuinely mirrors that of the actual show

[@jodieburton1827]

Dude it makes you feel kinda bad for the Tantibus, thats how you know its a well written villain-

[@languid-4535]

@@jodieburton1827 exactly! The character arc is amazing

[@wadeyhyena1657]

The only thing I didn't like was how Rainbow Dash was written to be homophobic towards Twilight. Obviously kissing a friend when they're asleep is a no-go, but I think the story would've been better off not including the TwiDash stuff, it takes me out of the horror and leaves me bewildered. And, no, I don't have an issue with same-sex pairings. In fact, I like TwiDash, it's one of the cuter ships out there alongside FlutterDash and PinkieDash. Plus, I write about a lot of lesbian characters in my own stories, so I have no issues with that aspect. But in the fancomic continuation, it comes out of nowhere and doesn't lead to anything, aside from Rainbow Dash basically telling Twilight "Eww, I ain't into that..." and then brushes it under the rug, and it's never mentioned again. I liked the Tantabus character. Whilst screwing with Rainbow's head was a mean thing to do, I liked that he formed a close connection with Luna, which makes his eventual death both satisfying but heartbreaking at the same time, since he was starting to feel regret and remorse for his actions. Even Luna cries after the fact whilst the other ponies are celebrating. It's like every good moment has to be ruined by an unfortunate set of events. I have nothing against the fan artist who created the extended comic. It's just something I've noticed upon reflection with a lot of the popular fanfictions. The same applies to Rarity acting classist towards other races in the "Bride of Discord" and "Daughter of Discord" stories. It's unofficial, but it can affect people's perceptions of their favourite characters.

[@languid-4535]

@@wadeyhyena1657 the TwiDash stuff was definitely out of place, but I don’t think Rainbow Dash was being homophobic, yeah she did say a few things in the heat of the moment, but Twilight Sparkle did something you should never do kissing someone without consent AND whilst Rainbow Dash was a bit out of it. But yeah then they just brushed it under the rug like nothing happened after making such a big deal about it.

You can imagine my surprise when you talked about a version of something sweet to bite that I had quite literally never heard of.. I grew up knowing the one that parodied Hansel and Gretel and… yeah I’m not going into anymore detail than that! Can someone tell me where that came from if it’s not official? 😭

10:13 I absolutely would not go skydiving in this situation, i’m wayyyy too paranoid for that

[@EffMinus]

but it’s juuuust a dream…

[@samthefreakyman]

everytime i come across a good MLP scary compilation/iceberg video, it's like earning a five star meal cus i don't see them often lol

[@prideisreal9461]

9:34 My family is extremely superstitious which caused me to be as well so idgaf about everyone else at that point, I’m going to take that as my sign to not go and find ANYTHING else to do that day

[@RedTheBread666]

"Wither she failed or passed or smashed I DONT CARE" 💀💀💀💀💀

[@brandoncole5533]

I actually did read all 9 something sweet to bite stories 😭😭 and I love them. Everything after Candymare goes to hell it gets pretty silly but this series does hold a solid place in my heart. Sad to know that there's no more but after reading the G5 one I couldn't blame them

[@EffMinus]

would you recommend reading them all haha

[@brandoncole5533]

ABSOLUTELY ​@@EffMinus

[@brandoncole5533]

​@@EffMinusif anything at least read everything up until something sweet bites back. It could technically be an end to the storyline.

When I was a child I was traumatized by mlp creepypastas

[@citrushubnetwork1052]

I just saw butterflies one morning, and i actually passed out. But i woke up.

[@HNKNAChick52]

Not sure about the Rocket to Insanity one but there is a reading of it here on KZbin. An alternate where pinkie doesn’t die and Rainbow snaps out of her insanity. I won’t give things way for those curious.

[@zcgamerandreacts2762]

Actually someone did make a hour long video about rocket to insanity it has a better conclusion alongside more outside reaction. Applejack kicks Dash in the face for harming pinkiepie pinkiepie is alive. Hell this even catches the attention of luna. Ill edit this once i find it.

[@Thrackerzod8]

A puppet to her fame just sounds so out of touch, like, it just stuff that doesn't feel really that is in the universe of mlp, then it kinda turns into something that looks like a teenager personal stuff?

[@Melon_JarMLP]

EFF WE NEED THE OLD MIC BACK 😭😭

[@crocoshark4097]

I feel like if I had the skydiving dream you described I'd go through with the dive anyway just because of the awkwardness of imagining backing out because of a dream the night before. But who knows . . . . .

[@Radio00001]

Fun fact, did not realize it was etiquette to write in a thank you during the link thing. They asked for a link, and the author provided the link, and I didn’t even notice that was a situation to express gratitude. So, the more you know, I guess!

[@EffMinus]

I was mostly being hyperbolic at how robotic her responses are.. but it doesn’t hurt to say thanks when somebody directly asks wanting to see more of your work.

[@piperthomas2053]

The last one is literally just the movie would you rather

[@MO-NO517]

Finally, someone talks about Scissor Twilight

[@viktorlucious6585]

Honestly, I really empathize with the creator of Scissor Twilight. Sometimes you're too depressed to keep things going or you lost passion for it but you're too scared to disappoint people or you think you'll get back to it eventually. Its understandable. Also I don't think its bad that they didn't interact with their fans much. I mean, they're an artist on the internet. Noone is entitled to them or their time. I don't think they're rude at all.

[@ikaiju-eu9wn]

here i blame my friend for getting me back into mlp and reminding me of the dark times when most of the godzilla, linkin park and mlp fandoms overlapped

[@saladwithasideof]

from most creepypastas im familiar with, rainbow dash is always catching a stray with being the first victim and pinkie is always majorly the murderer

[@bubblegum1366]

My absolute favorite creepy MLP thing (saying a lot, I love pony horror) is Researcher Twilight. It started as a tumblr blog in the vein of Pinkamena Diane Pie/Little Miss Rarity, and a fanfic was written based off of it as well.

[@cinderfoxx]

I haven’t been in this community in a while and I am so surprised that Rainbow Dash is always the punching bag ig in these stories, for example cupcakes, still being dead in butterflies, and so many other stories. This makes me sad because Rainbow was my favorite :(

[@LunarTearRose]

I REMEMBER READING AN ALT ENDING!!!! FLUTTERSHY CAUGHT ON TO RAINBOW HAVING NIGHTMARES AND HAD HER SLEEP OVER WITH HER. THIS IS ALL I REMEMBER BECAUSE THE AUTHOR'S NOTES BEYOND THAT WENT ON A BIT ABT HOW IT WASN'T SEXUAL OR WHATEVER AND I WAS CONFUSED BECAUSE I WAS LIKE 12 AND DIDNT KNOW WHAT SEXUAL MEANT

[@ariellewilson730]

A Puppet To Her Fame is actually one of my favorite grimdark stories whthin the MLP fandom. I understand why some have problems with it, like when Octavia is being sassy towards her parents, especially towards her mom, because it involves more beatings from her. If I had to pick one character I cannot stand, it'll be the mom. There is a scene where she dumped the entire bowl of hot soup into her daughter's mouth, causing her to choke, holding her mouth and nose shut so she doesn't spit it out, and when her daughter was finally able to swallow it down painfully, was able to breathe again after she was released, she called her mom a souless witch. Then she realized she was about to vomit, all thanks to her mother, leaving her mom to cinch the bowtie tightly around her neck to keep her from throwing up, having her daughter to have the urge to kill her, breathe, and vomit, and her mom left her there without loosening up the bowtie until the mysterious strings and hooks saved her life.

[@ViodenGe]

I remember that one creepypasta where twilight's friends were all evil somehow and then did something to twi so she would also turn evil, she was supposed to become their leader or something and only just gets used to being evil, that was like more than 4 years ago tho, so i cannot remember much

[@Roary949]

Maybe English is their second language that at the time they were just trying to work on during the same year that they were writing the fan fix

[@EffMinus]

idk, like I said, the only reason I brought it up was because the rest of it was pretty good, grammar-wise

[@Kirumi_Bear217]

You picked a nice selection from last time. :)
