Pony Tales [MLP Fanfic Reading] 'Into the Other' (GRIMDARK/COSMIC HORROR) - MONTH OF MACABRE 2019

[@Molly_Mauk]

The freaky part is, that flutters would definitely try to show this world ending creature compassion

[@drswag0076]

i doubt a cosmic being would know or even care about compassion. i do actually like to see Fluttershy use the stare on a cosmic being. like Cthulhu.

[@0_dearghealach_083]

I thought it somehow hypnotised her, pretending to be a filly by shapeshifting, or something?

[@somedudewhodraws9377]

This thing appears to be a parasite of some sort. Similar to the Xenomorph taking shape of the hosts body from its DNA. It came out of Fluttershy and now resembles a Pegasus Filly. Because Fluttershy is a Pegasus this thing took her shape. In a sense Fluttershy just gave birth to a baby from her mouth.

[@revaslatts4301]

*starts having Vietnam flashbacks of Alien* That's worth six weeks of a few nightmares.

[@stevens.286]

"my voice being nearly as horse as hers." I see what you did there.

[@jaiden5941]

When the creature clamped to Fluttershy's leg said "Hungry," I almost believed it to be the Candy Mare. Also, this was so intense!

[@Groza_Dallocort]

Nightmare night nightmare night give us something sweet to bite

[@jaiden5941]

@@Groza_Dallocort, what exactly will happen if I say "Yes?" "No?" What will be the cost?!! 1. My body? 2. My soul? Says the Candy Mare to me, "Why not both?" Replies me to her, "Oh... Buck!"

[@Groza_Dallocort]

@@jaiden5941 No way out flamethrowers will only hold her off for a little while

[@jaiden5941]

@@Groza_Dallocort, very true! I agree with your reasoning, however, who said anything about flamethrowers? Use of magic is most effective towards her, but even that has limitations. Now, Knackerman has stated the Candy Mare was inspired by and originates from the aspects of Eastern beliefs of spirits. You know, onryo? There really is no way to overcome her, and technically, she is not alive at all in a sense. She simply manifests, exists as lingering evil. I had believed she could be redeemed by being given compassion and aid, but that idea was squashed by the very creator himself.

[@j.w.darkhurst3925]

omg thank you for heart Scribbler!

[@michaeljohnson-el9hp]

The freaking timing of those ads

[@nonamenoname9322]

It’s a picture of Fluttershy, protectively holding a terrified Scootaloo...

[@treymoment]

I thought it was her eating her head or sum

[@reap3514]

Ok? Also I’m pretty sure the filly demon thing was mocking scoots based on the description. So it fits

[@shadie5180]

I think I get it now! the creature got inside another bird fisrt and then it begin to change its physical appearance like a bird and then it got in to fluttershy's throat that's why when fluttershy throws up the bird it turns in to a Pegasus filly. the creature must an accident demonic being that can also make it's host to hunt for it or drive the host crazy, it seems that it can't survive on its own and it might die fast after being reborn , and it made fluttershy to knock apple unconscious so the creature could use apple jack as a new host. that's why apple jack is hearing 2 heart beats, the creature is inside of her now

[@xxsxx1438]

I didn't pick up on the story but you made it make more sense. thank you

[@Rainbow_dash67.]

@@xxsxx1438 more like the creature is a outer god or a Lovecraftian entity

I was listening to this while at work and at 18:05 when she screamed THE POWER IN MY STORE WENT OUT. JESUS CHRIST WHAT A HEART ATTACK

[@generaldurk-a-dur]

That's one heck of a coincidence!

[@Herobrine-vh8lv]

Me:Well that was nice *Hears the roar at the end* Me:OHHH SH*T Also what I have learned is that demons or whatever that creature was, take the form of what you value most like fluttershy valued a baby filly

[@revaslatts8011]

@@inkwellm You mean AJ will have the same fate? Eh, I've seen worse, so I won't judge.

[@jasonburnett5713]

This was amazing. It’s like HP Lovecraft himself decided to write a MLP fanfic. No doubt about it that creature was at least a great old one or maybe even an outer god. Also Fluttershy screaming an that roar at the end startled me

[@stormchaser4249]

I got nothing else to say about this one. This is actually quite terrifying. And that roar at the end... O.O;

[@jasonburnett5713]

Gave me chills

[@lillyquirk6626]

Mate i listen to these while i fall asleep 🤨

[@hannahharris5046]

Thank the lord I read the comments before the end or that roar would have given my heart a stutter, its racing so fast I feel like I have two hearts going.....

[@michaeljohnson-el9hp]

Literally I read this, then the roar came

[@yugioh1870]

I certainly love what the mid roll ad does for the atmosphere of the story

[@Chillbot17]

"and I welcome oblivion" ......"hey, you. You're finally awake"

[@nullius_ov]

I'm getting some serious Steven King vibes from this. The ominous heartbeat in the background really added to the suspense as well. When it comes to cosmic horror, the greatest aspect is the fear of the unknown. Even at the end of the tale, we still have many questions. Are the creatures friend or foe? Are they from some distant universe or reality? Were they followed by another darker, twisted entity into Equestria? Quite the spine tingling story. Outstanding job Scribbler!

[@walker68175]

Me: Another amazing fic. Now time to go and- *R O A R* Me: *Terrified confused screaming*

[@pissapocalypse]

Lmao

[@Mr.Civ_WX]

Oh shit its the scary month *locks himself in house*

[@spiritofchaos58]

10/10 voice acting. Fluttershy's screaming legit spooked me

[@1989JROG]

That definitely sent a shiver down my spine. Great narrating as always.

[@GlitchGhost1285]

I could not listen to this story til the end. I couldn't take it. I made it to 15:16. Welp Scribbler you and your friend has now made me unable to sleep tonight. I am impressed. ;)

[@Chillbot17]

You missed the otherworldly voice sounding much larger than the source

[@unnamed1613]

Do not ask which creature screams in the night, Do not question who waits for you in the shadow. It is my cry that wakes you in the night, And my body that crouches in the shadow. I am Tzeentch and you are the puppet That dances to my tune.

[@crystalpayne_entertains9903]

Okay so maybe listening to this for the first time at 2AM wasn't such a good idea... But seriously, OMG! This story was just chilling and that Roar!!! My God! My heart is still racing from that! Well done Scribbler and cast! Well done.

[@FreakingTacoMan97]

Now THIS is some great cosmic horror! Perhaps some small amount of inspiration from ‘The Mound’ and ‘The Dunwich Horror’. When the Pegasus was revealed I about jumped out of my skin!

[@tarakinwu1246]

Having AJ Narrate a story hits different after listening to Another Apple Sleep Experiment.

[@theimmortalsuperbeing549]

You know those horrors that stay with you after the credits have finished......this is not one off them.....THIS IS BEYOND THAT. This is a horror that not only stays with you it makes you cry out off fear question the dark scared to look in the dark scared to look at windows because you might see a reflection you don't want to see it even makes you scared to look in a mirror for two much time just in case you're reflection smiles and you don't so WELL BLOODY DONE EXCELLENT WORK WELL DONE 😃👍.

[@rwbyistrash603]

So damn dramatic.

Video at the end: *H E L L S C R E E C H* Me: NOPE-NOPE-NOPE-NOPE-NOPE-NOPE-NOPE-NOPE

[@lizzyl9357]

Because of the horrible nightmares I've always had, I used to be afraid of the dark. Well, kinda. It wasn't that wouldn't be able to see any monsters or demons as well, it was that everyone was off guard. Something could sneak past us because we relax in the dark and don't pay as much attention to the small noises

[@pifflesomepuffnadder855]

How does this not have more likes? This story is schtupping marvelous! I've even seen some of the stories the author of this one made, and they're awesome too!

[@nikitaheredia416]

[@koopaking6148]

Ok... Nothing like a little lovecraftian horror to keep me up at night... Great story and a great reading...

[@shannongrymes6264]

The fear of darkness and what lies in it is rooted to what is arguably the most powerful fear there is, one that everyone experiences, and can actually be even scarier than what you find, and that is the fear of the unknown.😨

[@TheCommenterDragon]

A truly frightastic and marvelous reading Scribber and friends i love it, as always you guys sounded amazing and divine.👏👏👏

[@poqqery8950]

I have those beats at night whenever I break down from stress into a panic attack. It's very uncomfortable to feel your heart beating out of tune with how you think it should be, like, too shallow and too quick.

[@scrappyundying5745]

With school in the way, I can only listen to these stories at night. It makes them so much better anyways

It's really interesting to try to understand what the actual hell the creture was in the story but it's mostly left to the readers and listeniners interpretation which in any account is the fear of the unknown and most fear things they don't understand I personally really like this story thank you scribbler!😊👍
