[MLP Halloween Special] Parallel Worlds: A Rainbow Factory Story -The Audio Drama (GRIMDARK/TRAGEDY)

[@thelostnarrator]

It was such a blast to voice Factory Dash again. Hearing MidnightMoth's vocals against mind was such a trip, especially considering how good their RD is! Honestly, that crying scene at the end got me. Very well done! Everyone, from the VAs, to the Artists, to especially Scribbler herself have brought their A game and it was an honor to be a part of it! ❤

This definitely deserves a full series. I would love to see what will happen if the canonical characters meet and face off against their evil Grimdark AU counterparts.

[@Sparrow9612]

Not exactly Grimdark, but in the comics, Starswirl encounters a nightmare version of Celestia called Nightmare Star, an even worse version of Daybreaker. He was so terrified of what he saw, that Starswirl sealed off the portal to that dimension.

[@TheCommenterDragon]

I felt so bad for RD and friends, RD may have been the one suffering the most because of that parallel Dash. But now her friends are forced to suffer that experience with her, And all because Discord thought that planting chaos magic in RD's body would make a good prank. Like I said in the chat, Of all the messed-up things Discord has ever done that was the absolute worst. This special was absolutely worth the wait Scribbler! I enjoyed every second of it, And like always everything from the art to the voice acting was assembled ever so amazingly and phenomenally, Make no make mistake about it! Everyone did such a brilliant and divine job bringing this vid to life. Simply glorious work guys a very Happy late Halloween/Nightmare Night to you all!!!

[@Archiver_Studio]

Surprisingly enough, this wasn't even Discord's intention He didn't mean to infect her with Multiversal Energy That was just an unintended side effect from his prank Now, he's accidentally sucked a piece of the Multiverse into their reality, who knows what horrors will follow...

[@gulsum6084]

He messed up and now everyone is gonna pay the price of twilights possession.

[@lindsayshanks7555]

Man, a sequel where everyone has to team up to defeat a Factory Dash-possessed Twilight Sparkle would be darn interesting This is a really, really cool take on the Rainbow Factory, and makes me personally question on if the Mane 6 would want to question Celestia on if she knew about the Factory, if it exists like that in their universe too

[@someonewholikes18thcentory65]

Okay a Factory Dash possessed Twilight sparkle would be very VERY interesting Even more so knowing that RF dash ended her universe twilight… Maybe she misses her more than what she says (I still think she too far gone if she up to end fluttershy, in the aurora dawn version she literally all up and let not alive Fluttershy w her animals alone… I think they started to eat her because of the fact they were starving (im not sure why….

Amazing work as always. Special kudos to the artists; they really hit it out of the park this time. I'm not a big Rainbow Factory fan, but seeing Factory Dash in this story was terrifying. It really shows the juxtaposition between show accurate depictions and the fandoms grimdark interpretations. And man, that ending with Scootaloo and whatever Twilight became really made me question if Factory Dash is gonna hurt Scootaloo or try and recruit/hold her captive because in some sick, twisted way she actually misses her Scootaloo.

[@antonrueda1044]

This is a great reading! It's such an interesting concept to see how the ponies we know of react to their Grimdark counterparts. Especially the more well-known ones. The way you portrayed Rainbow Factory Dash is practically perfect. I really like her and Rainbow Factory antagonist in general as villains. Unlike villains and antagonists from other grimdarks, the Rainbow Factory ones just know what to say to get under someone's skin. All the raw lunacy they spew out of their mouths, coming from corrupt and barbaric beliefs imposed onto them by their evil society. They think they're in the right. They stain the skies with spectra made from the slaughtered remains of kids and they think they're right. It really makes them unique in my eyes. This reading really captures the mindset of the pegasus from the Rainbow Factory universe. Also, what Rainbow Factory Dash said at 1:08:25 is just so rich. The audacity to call her a traitor. Her, a petty psycho who murders pegasus kids on a routine basis, a bastard who murdered her own friend, calling A SAVIOR a traitor to her own kind. She's calling a pony, who helped save a country several times, a traitor. The pure irony. One more thing I'd like to mention is that I really like that you decided to assign 2 different voices actresses for the 2 Rainbow Dash's instead of just having one voice actress do both. Having 2 of them doing their own impression of Rainbow Dash really emphasizes the fact that even though they're both Rainbow Dash, they're different versions of one another. Similar in some ways and different in others.

[@MidnightMothMLP]

Hello there, thank you so much for the compliment! Yes, this was my first big role! Not to mention, Rainbow Dash is my hardest voice to imitate! I was shocked I tell you when Scribbler chose me, I put in my Dash lines as mostly a "Why the buck not? Why not audition for all of the main six" kind of thing. I honestly thought I was going to get Fluttershy, since I feel I do her voice best. So, imagine my surprise when I got Rainbow Dash! Scribbler heard something/saw something in me that I didn't, and I will forever be grateful she did! She told me that I need to believe in my abilities more, and she's right. After being part of something this great, I'll never doubt my skill/abilities again~! Funfact: I did all my lines in one full take, so one take Dashie at your service! Also, important notice- you did not know so don't feel bad, just letting everypony/everycreature know I go by they/them!

[@Ribonchan]

All in one take? That is incredible! You definitely have quite a bit of talent and you did such a great job. You deserve a lot more attention as a VA. Truth be told, I was in your shoes 8 years ago when I got my first break as RD in Scribbler’s Awoken production, though I will admit my acting skills and mic quality at the time could’ve been better. If it wasn’t for Scribbler giving me a chance all those years ago, I’m not sure where I would be. I’m actually surprised that this turned out to be a Rainbow Factory story and to hear some of the original Awoken dialogue I said as RD through Lost as well so this was definitely quite a treat. But enough about me, lol. You knocked this performance out of the park. Dare I say it, this story is much darker than Awoken was. If you would like to collab sometime with me, I’m always looking for new people to collab with me on my channel. My door is open.

while I do have some complaints or points of confusion, possibly because I don't know enough lore about the rainbow factory, I will say i'm very glad that the story didn't turn into a "how dare you, we hate you" after RD attacked rarity. They thought rationally and forgave while RD was overwhelmed in shock and disbelief. After decades of friendship, that was a very realistic interaction. I may also be a little biased with stories with terms such as "insanity", "madness", or "crazy". I just cant see into/understand the insane's mind/actions as much as i would like, can anyone?

Damn that ending though? I doubt this will get a sequel, but imagine just how bad it is that RF Rainbow managed to take over Twilight of all people

[@AaronMacias-zv4ro]

No words, literally no words. You guys really overdid it this time, congrats! Scribbler, te amo. And i love every person that made this possible to come to life, thank you guys. P.S: Poor Scootaloo, i was really hoping noting would happen to her, but it was obvious it would be that way, no joke, as i saw the scene progress with Possesed Twilight, i wanted to protect Scootalo. What's gonna do "Factory Dash" now with the body and power of an Alicorn, all at her will?

[@dragongodinstars6694]

I just realized this is the second time dash has been tortured in her dreams to the point of near insanity and death in a fanfic this poor pegasus cannot catch a break

[@Endermeep]

all of the art in this is absolutely fucking gorgeous!!! big thanks to all the artists for the wonderful visuals!

[@TotalFreakZoid]

I... wow... holy crap. You can definitely tell the love and dedication put into this whole entire project. From the art, to the visual effects to the voice acting. Everyone gave their all. And I think if you ever think you want to do more of this in the future. I would definitely love to see more.

[@RenzoXD2069]

Wow, that was an amazing audio drama, #Scribbler, who It serves as a tribute to the typical old creepypasta known by this fandom ((besides leaving me speechless too XD 😬). Great work!!! 👍

[@JODIESMOISTTOWELETTES]

1:20:16 I love the vampilance and puppet to her frame ref in this one as their both my fave grimdarks on your yt? channel

[@silver45470]

Holy macarol. That is one of the most powerful stories I've heard all year. And the climax of the story is absolutely mind-boggling. Well done everyone! This is absolutely terrifying and very much enjoyable ☺️

[@CamobatmanHunter]

This.... was.... interesting. I love it. Had me on edge for quite a while listening to it, and the voice acting and art is top tier as always. It works perfectly as a standalone story, even with the cliffhanger ending. But now i need to see what happens next: Will possesed Twilight somehow perfect the dark multiversal magic and summon all of her friends's grimdark opposites? Would middle aged AJ survive against her Sleep Deprived opposite? Would Fluttershy be able to stomach the gruesomeness of her butterfly obsessed self? Will Pinkie Pie shutter in horror as she learns the secret ingredient of her grimdark's.... cupcakes? Maybe im rambling, idk... Great story. Keep up the good work, everypony 💯

[@curhuna]

Animators and voice actors amazing as always, but the editors really made this extra special, felt overwhelmingly good at the "crazy" parts, had to pause and catch myself. Don't know how to feel about the shift when Disorder came, it is on character, but I don't know..Edit: Rewatching this, reminds me of a lot of people mentioning Disorder as some sort of solution to the problem, when he actually appears here.. [Spoiler alert!] Things are worse.. in fact he did not get involved, maybe just maybe it wouldn't have been as worse, mentally transferred evil RD to Twi.. I wonder if RD was the first victim of this, or the others are just better at hiding it... Really hoping for some sort of continuation of this, doesn't need to exactly follow what we left off here, but another victim perhaps..? : ) Hoping it's Fluttershy or Rarity, I barely see any attention to their evil counterparts, Pattycakes and Lil Miss Rares are dope, AJ finally getting the attention she has, Twi already taken, and Pinkie's just overdone to this point.

[@ScribblerProductions101]

Thank you! I was the only editor for all the audio and visuals aside from the end credits. :)

[@CharybdisM0ns]

Seeing Twilight's warped visage was bad enough. My mind immediately went to "The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle" until the "OH BUCK!" moment the name "Absentia" was uttered😱

[@kristinaespe385]

can someone give me context

[@ryanlozano9086]

Can I have context please

[@CharybdisM0ns]

@kristinaespe385 Absentia or The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle ?

@@kristinaespe385 Absentia is what Rainbow Factory Dash calls Rainbow Factory Scootaloo.

[@summersweete09]

This was insane! Omg such a crazy spin on rainbow factory and then the ending just wow!

[@WorldWeave]

I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing more of this…either with Overmare (for simplicity) taking over each of the main six, or the magic turning into the alternate versions of whoever it possesses; Researcher Twilight, Pinkamina, Little Mis Rarity, Butchershy (or ANY dark Fluttershy, there’s surprisingly a lot of them) and whatever dark counterpart Applejack has

[@juninhosusnimator807]

it's so well done. im eager to see more of this story. i really liked it, congrats scribller and team. shutout to all artists and vas envolved as well. damn, really good as always.

[@keyboardkets379]

Im so excited to check this out. :D by the thumbnail and this being by scribbler, know it's gonna be good

[@scottneshine2547]

Amazing work on this video. This really gave me the goosebumps while watching the video and I really loved seeing both Applejack and Rainbow Dash together. I hope you and everyone keep up the amazing work you do.

[@Wren40]

Holy wow this is amazing! the art and voice acting are spot on!

[@jacobkaplanlavine413]

That ending was spooky, I really hope scootaloo ends up okay

[@dragon_ninja_2186]

Man we better get a sequel to this. Especially with that ending.

[@thxStarlight]

"ink sans" : The grimdark au's stories spread throughout the realities at an alarming speed... We need to do something... It could be dangerous for the lives of infinities of lives... "Leo / thxStarlight" : agree... The multiverse is in danger... And us guardians we're going to fix it... [ to be continued in the mlpverse... ] ((ok now for real... this is trully hype, i loved it since the end of it and i know i don't comment much on KZbin since i'm kinda shy... But i do love... No adore !! what you and lostnarrator magpiepony and the rest doing... You inspired me a lot... And i wouldn't never be engouth Thankfull for dropping bangers such as this one... that's why... As a beginner french artist, big lover of multiversal stories and it's concept, mlp and horrors, i must do a comic about it and include it on my multiversal adventures... An uncanon one to this, where me, my oc guardian of the multiverse go to the grimdark stories and well... you guess it do they job... Only for the pleasure of drawing like usual, no for money since i still don't know how that works and because that's not my goal... or the rest... Just for full pleasure since i like drawing a lot... And i will mention you and the others artist... Like i did with princewhateverer and way more... But I'll probably do that after i finish the ones i'm making on Twitter with epictale and flawless redemption arc... Anyway that’s all for me i love you're work i'm a great fan x3 even if i don't talk much I'll look forwards to see what new videos you'll make !!.. I also hope there will be A sequel to this one >w< it would be so awsome !! 💕💖💓... Sorry too for my english can do mistakes and that comment is long... Ur great keep the good work ! Love u)) ThxStarlight...

[@carolinecheney]

I LOVE Rainbow Factory! It's one of my favorite grimdarks aside from Something Sweet To Bite! Can't wait for this!

[@RedWolf777SG]

Wow, that was a true grimdark ending right there. Does anyone want a sequel of what happens next? Because that is too much of an interesting idea.

[@joshnolen2675]

Better late than never, i look forward to this belated Halloween reading special.

[@redfoxninja3173]

In the grim darkness of the far future there is only friendship!

[@ACastillo_]

Also FOR FUCKS SAKES call Cadance, Celestia and Luna we need to put Twilight down by force before she kills the mayority of the pegasi population

[@Dice_406]

The real question is since the future was decided by rainbow dash saying no to working in the weather factory that means the rainbow factory still exists in the main universe just under different management who runs the factory In the main universe?

[@bri6246]

I love the art style from the few minutes and this story was so cool and it’s interesting I was scared and worried i’m really fascinated by the story to be honest. I’m thinking going to draw a few of the characters.

[@stephenbrown7221]

10 years in the making this was awesome also slightly disturbing lol but some advice dont be eating while watching something with blood in it lol it will kill your appetite

[@Mistressofthelostones]

Imagine this but with the others have the same problem too. Can't wait to Pinkie Pie meeting her cupcakes counterpart

[@hamtaro126]

OOH!!! 6 HOURS YAY!!! I am very excited, may I just say it is 100% hype to see this pop up in my YT feed!!! Hope to make it in chat! Thanks!!!

[@darkcryscream2201]

This was amazing plot characters interactions and how they react to evil parallel worlds of choices and consequences of choices made. One choice could change alot of history one choice could lead to someone you don't recognize has yourself because of 1 choice can be all thats needed to ruin yourself or others.

[@lpslunarmoon8243]

This isn't a rocket to Insanity video isn't it lol love it

[@cyrusphrogee]

Holy crap. Scrib this is amazing! Never stop. I loved every second of it! ❤

[@therextwins1086]

It's a pretty simple concept it's basically just seeing memories of another living thing. Like a dream or a life not lived knowing something without knowing something.

[@jacobkaplanlavine413]

It is said that dreams might be windows into the lives of our multiverse counterparts

[@ashleighstangeland7488]

Omg!!! That was um that was amazing!!!! Frightening but amazing!!!! But that ending, that leads room for sequel right? I mean.... Clearly Factory Dash took over Princess Twilight somehow..... There needs to be more Scribbler please continue Parallel Worlds please I'm begging you!!!!

[@dragonphoenix790]

Isn't a bad ending what we've witnessing? Or there might be more? Dashie needs some hugs for what she have been through but holy that was a scary story. All the participants did a great work! Guess Twilight will be next..

[@Missmayah-bp3oc]

Welp I guess everyone dies then

[@Bulbasaur617]

This may be the start of something interesting to see. Especially if it revolves around the well known Grimdark MLP fanfics out there. Alternate universes are of course a thing here, but connecting the well known ones sounds horrifying, but possibly interesting here. Wonder if they'll be a continuation to this? We'll just have to found out what happens. Depending if the author of this made one. Anyways you and those involved in this did a wonderful and terrifying job here. Keep up the great work and take care.

[@spencharly]

It was a dream come true being part of it! Thank you so much. All did amazing🥹💕✨

[@thehype9579]

Man, this was just a sad ending. ( Spoilers for story ) Blaming Discord for unpredictable magic and what seemed to be a harmless prank, thinking of RD as the evil one over SEEING A FLASH of what RD has been regularly seeing for awhile, AND Twilight is messed up. Its worse than when it started. ;^;

[@HandheldGamer1991]

I cant belive we have to put up warnings now because of drama youtubers making a big deal out of it but they themselves are okay with playing horror games that are +18 and dont do the warning knowing all to well that their audience is a bunch of lil kids.

[@HandheldGamer1991]

Also i love the video :D

[@curniglover]

You guys cooked so hard I think might best mlp fanfic on KZbin
