Pony POV Series/Awesome: Difference between revisions

----

* Applejack takes the cake in her own story by being able and willing to stare directly into the Well of Forever, a pool of knowledge that tells all uncomfortable truths as a way to cope with her [[Brutal Honesty]] issue with Discord. This is quite a feat on its own, but then she tops herself by jamming her hoof into the pool's safety mechanism when her self control starts to waver, and stares down the Truth until she is forcibly cut off, ''and she's still game for another round.'' She spends the night at Canterlot Castle to decompress and the very next day, still with a torn up hoof, she takes it upon herself to use her new insight to help everypony she can get to reassert themselves, and hits a half dozen before sundown. Who is best pony?

** One of the things she sees is what happened if Applebloom hadn't escaped [[Story of the Blanks|Sunny Town]]. The alternate Applejack finds out and pretty much goes on a [[Roaring Rampage of Revenge]], destroying the town singlehoofedly. Do ''not'' mess with Applejack's little sis!

** Another thing she sees is {{spoiler|[[Future Badass]] Twilight facing down what's implied to be ''death!''}}

*** {{spoiler|Furthermore, while talking to Nightmare Whisper, Applejack hints that Twilight is possibly the pony destined to ''defeat'' Death.}}

* Trixie gets one by finally breaking free of Loneliness' spell, and coming out of Discord a better pony than when she came in, completely obliterating Loneliness in the process.

* Luna actually ''gaining control'' over her identity as Nightmare Moon when Discord's games threaten to turn her into a [[Woobie, Destroyer of Worlds]]. And then it's shown that ''she'' sent Twilight's letters, due to her sister being Discorded into a useless child, and floats it right under his nose, because "Why the hell not?"

** Luna wasn't as lucky as Applejack when she looked in the Well Of Forever, but by taking the full brunt of it and learning the entirety of all Truth and [[All the Myriad Ways]], it's a wonder she's hasn't completely lost it. Consider that she had the entire millennium that she was banished, including the fate of everyone she knew revealed to her in eidetic detail to mull over, and the [[What Could Have Been]]. Possibly advance information on Nightmare Moon, depending on how the timeline breaks down.

** One of the thing she learns is that [[My Little Pony|G1 Mimic]] threw down with Discord after he broke down the Rainbow of Light into the Elements, and [[Did You Just Punch Out Cthulhu?|kicked his teeth in.]] Granted, it was the last thing she ever did as a solid state of matter, but there's a good reason he only has the one fang.

*** The [http://fav.me/d4lgn8g fanfiction version] makes it ''even more'' epic by explaining that {{spoiler|Mimic succeeding in ''wounding'' Discord served as a [[Hope Springs Eternal]], inspiring Celestia and Luna as well as awakening the Element Of Magic, setting the stage for Discord's downfall.}} On top of this, Discord had told her that there's no way she could so much as scratch him. After she does, knowing he's going to kill her regardless, she says this;

* The mane cast and [[Sixth Ranger|Trixie]] [[Theme Tune Cameo|singing the show's theme song]] in the penultimate chapter is easily one of the most awesome moments of the fanfic. It's also a [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming]]. Now if only one of the fan music composures or fandubbers would get their hands on this...

* {{spoiler|Applejack, Pinkie Pie and Trixie breaking themselves out of Princess Gaia's [[Lotus Eater Machine|mind control]] without magical aid.}}

* {{spoiler|Ditzy Doo (Derpy Hooves) going [[Mama Bear]] on Princess Gaia's birds to protect Dinky, using a mop as a ''quarterstaff!'' Do not touch her little "Muffin" if you know what's good for you!}}

** {{spoiler|And she ''NEVER'' gives in to Gaia. This display of motherly determination and protection causes Luna to publically give her the title of "'Greatest Mother and Strongest Willed Pony In Equestria'".}}

* {{spoiler|Golden Tiara/Screwball's escape attempt, including effortlessly circumventing the security system including two electric fences, making the orderlies and doctors look like fools. Also she beats a Cockatrice so easily it seems like she's planned it out ahead of time: 1 Closes her eyes. 2 Runs AT it. It's not used to that. 3 Grabbed it's neck and head. 4 Ran for a river, which she could hear even with her eyes closed. 5 Faced it down towards the water and forced its' eyelids open. It is promptly [[Taken for Granite]].}}
