That was the entire reason I couldn't enjoy that fic. The narrator is the only person Dash really ever interacts with, so when it comes time for her to return to Equestria she has pretty much no experience with people whatsoever. Just... guh
I suppose if the purpose behind the fic were to explain and explore that unhealthy relationship, it might have been better. |

Well, glad I never read My Little Dashie then. |

I won't knock on people for liking the fic (or even for fantasizing about having a pony for a pet, like it matters since they aren't real), but I was kind of turned off by it for this sort of reason. |

Yes, because if you found Rainbow Dash you'd be able to trust literally anyone with that secret.
Her coat color by itself would send people screaming to the government, much less the fact that she's a pegasus. |

Well, I never wanted to read it anyway. The description drew me away because I was like "Dashie in the human world? Grey world? Haha! No." |

I refuse to read anything that involves humans and ponies at this point.
There was only one, ONE, HiE fic that I ever enjoyed, and it was about Luna being incredibly lonely and summoning the "perfect companion" to her side. A random guy that hasn't even heard about the show is dropped in the Everfree wilderness and has to fight to survive, since, you know, the Everfree forest is fucking evil nature. He only has the moon to keep him company, and that's how he falls in love with Luna. It's just a wonderfully-written love story between two individuals with absolutely nothing in common. And it's the only HiE story I would ever have the spine, the utter balls, to recommend to anyone, anywhere. There was going to be a sequel, but... I guess the author died. Because the rest of them suck so much dick they drown in spunk. |

^Pffft. You'd need to claim that Dash is a secret terrorist or that Equestria has oil to get the American governments attention.
So, first 4chan deconstructed and tore apart Past Sins months ago, and now we see that My Little Dashie has been taken apart. Now, has anyone deconstructed Fallout Equestria yet? |
| Anonymous #1036040 4 months ago |
I was under the impression that 4chan enjoyed FO:E. Or at least /co/ did.
It's more or less the perfect example of a good crossover. Two absolutely completely different source materials, but blended together into something new, yet familiar, yet all-around amazing. It's definitely pony, but anyone familiar with the Fallout side will laugh themselves silly at all the precision-placed references. Some are obvious, others are just so amazing. |

@Anon1036018: Nope. I would pay for an MST of MLD though. With points, because the points don't matter.

I'm pretty sure the existence of a species only heard about in myths suddenly appearing in some guy's apartment would warrant a pretty big reaction.
Even if it wasn't the government responding, big corporations or scientists, well meaning or otherwise, SOMEONE would want to take her and make her theirs, and that's not even counting the crazies that would want to kill her for being a freak of nature or something. |

Yeah, most HiE stories are mediocre at best. Sturgeon's Law and all that. Does your fic have a name? My personal favorite HiE fic is called "ARTICLE 2", found on Equestria Daily, which is a sci-fi take/semi-deconstruction of the whole HiE concept. This time, a US Marine on an experimental spaceship crashes in Equestria and is the lone survivor out of all his comrades. He's healed and held in captivity by the Princesses, and while the fic seems dead now, it has a sympathetic human protagonist that isn't a fanboi, a horny teenage boy, or a whiny little bitch like so many HiE protagonists are. The author handles the characterization of the ponies wonderfully and the human's lines are hilarious. Unfortunately, as mentioned earlier, the author's personal life makes updates few and far apart. There's another favorite called "Imposition" that's a parody on the whole concept, and the protagonist's inner dialogue is incredibly and hilariously verbose despite the character himself having so few lines. The ending is the sort of meta bullshit you'd expect from Metal Gear Solid 2, but it's alright, and honestly there wasn't another way to end it. It's full of references to many things that will make you chuckle. I didn't like FO:E very much. It was fine for the first 10 chapters but then it suffered from being way too fucking long for its own good and in dire need of a professional editor to trim it down. |
| Anonymous #1036124 4 months ago |
#1036060 I agree with this completely. If the ponies did cross over to this world, they would get captured, studied, tortured, and experimented on. Then the government will (somehow) find a way to get to Equestria, start a war, and kill everything with bombs and missiles. Everypony (and everything else) will die. Or maybe not. |
| CottonTales #1036136 4 months ago |
@sigh
but that doesn't mean don't tell anyone you've got a mythological species you don't know for sure what it eats (for all you know what you feed it could be poisonous), you don't know if it could be dangerous, you don't know what to do if it gets sick with anything, and you sure as hell know nothing about how to raise a young one even if you just told one trustful person you would greatly increase the chance of both your and the creatures survival but I didn't read the fic so I don't know if any of these issues were addressed |

Can't remember the name, unfortunately. It's somewhere a couple months back on EqD. It's a good read, and has a pretty unexpected ending. Seth goes so far as to say it's like the only HiE fic he accepted on the site. I loved FO:E, but I agree that it got way the fuck long. It's longer than the entire Lord of the Rings trilogy. A fantastic read if you're willing to shell out the time, but I can sympathize with that complaint. |

By Christ's Holy Foreskin(yes, that is a thing, look it up), you people make it sound like animal rights, political restraint, political and popular backlash, dissent in the military, scientific ethics, or the sheer cost of invading of another world for their resources(or just for the hell of it, as your post seems to be implying) either don't exist or wouldn't matter as long as we can prove that humans are teh evulz and ponies are perfect little flawless angels who wouldn't harm a spider. It's one thing to claim that some dumbasses in a third-world dictatorship would pull that stuff off, its another to say the entire world is fine with it. |
| Anonymous #1036201 4 months ago |
#1036170 What the hell else would happen? The magic of Equestria pours into our world and we become colorful and happy? Our world is dying, and there's 7 billion people here. Like we would pass a chance to get more resources from a bunch of talking technicolor horses. We have enough artillery to blow up the planet six times. If anything, that would make a decent fanfic, if someone was good enough. |

There was a sequel. Don't read it if you want to keep your good feelings about the first one intact. |

The only good HiE story is Dan vs My Little Pony and we all know it. Right? |
| Anonymous #1036226 4 months ago |
^^Why blow Equestria to shit when we could, you know, open trade with them? Or at least be a bit more subtle in conquering it through political and economic cunning? Besides, they have two godlike beings that control their sun and moon, and a chaotic war is likely to release Discord, in which case BOTH worlds are screwed, especially if even one of the Mane Six is killed. |

#1036235 I think it would be hilarious if it turns out their magic doesn't work in our universe, and our weapons don't work on them. We would just stare at each other awkwardly during the first battle. |

Ah, found the name of that HiE fic that doesn't suck. No wonder I forgot the name, it's "Arddun Lleaud".
By the way, don't read the sequel. So anyways. Who's to say Celestia WOUDN'T? A bunch of armed aliens show up in her land and start murdering her subjects and stealing resources. That's not a problem the Elements can handle, and her military isn't really even a military. So of course she would fucking glass Earth. She isn't some pretty princess sitting helpless in her castle; She is the Sol Invictus, the Sun. |

I could buy magic not working on us, there's been more than one fic where humans have some resistance, if not total immunity to magic. Though I'm sure a bullet will tear through a pony just easily as it would would any other human or animal. It's not like ponies are immortal, they were in mortal danger quite a few times, such as from Nightmare Moon's eternal night, the hydra and Ursa Minor trying to eat them, etc. |
| Some_Anon #1036326 4 months ago |
Also, Sun Tzu must be rolling in his grave if you people think that the... well, world would jump into war overdrive without knowing what the fuck is in Eqeustria first. Or setting up a strong and reliable spy network. Or even injecting their culture and political affairs to ensure occupation would have the support of the locals. Or that they'd ever go to war with a species that could help them greatly if not subdued. |
| Anonymous #1036355 4 months ago |
Their magic would do nothing to us, and in their reality our weapons would shoot pies. So really, we'd be nothing more than a bunch of jerks throwing food at them. |
| Muffinoffun #1036360 4 months ago |
Don't really read fanfics but the whole HiE concept is just seems bad. I mean like 90% it's just nothing but shameless wish fulfillment. |
| Anonymous #1036371 4 months ago |
#1036310 I meant because we would follow the logic of our respected worlds. Anything from here wouldn't affect them, and vice versa. You know, like in the movie "Who framed Roger Rabbit", except we don't have that acid stuff. |

Considering that Celestia wouldn't weaponize solar power to kill Nightmare Moon, even though the latter would've killed all life on Equestria, I doubt she'd be morally capable of making our Sun go red giant on us. Though I only think this because I don't think NM is stronger than Celestia like so many fans seem to think. Hell, she hasn't even wiped out any of the pony predators like dragons, hydras, and the Ursas, nor has she exterminated any competition like the buffaloes or griffons. With all that said, I don't buy the idea of Celestia being capable of genocide. Besides, a much simpler and guilt-free solution is to either kill the human soldiers and generals or force their surrender, bribe or assassinate the appropriate political leaders, and force a peace. |
| Anonymous #1036397 4 months ago |
#1036355 That sounds delicious and hilarious.
#1036382 It would happened immediately, but you know somethings going to happen eventually. Wait until Celestia finds out what the internet is, or what on it. |
| Muffinoffun #1036415 4 months ago |
I'm just reading these comments and just wow. Do you people not have any idea how a military works? Like at all? The military is smart and would not just immediately go to war with an alien race which has shown no aggression to which we have no knowledge of for something as vague as "resources", which they might not even have. Even then there's a whole congress to go through. |
| Anonymous #1036428 4 months ago |
Well, it'd be possible as a last-resort. If Celestia's control of the sun is merely an enhanced levitation spell, then she could easily pull our sun closer to the earth. But I agree, she isn't morally capable of that level of murder unless it was the only option left.
I imagine, though, that in times of war ponies are more than capable of defending themselves. It'd be Vietnam and Iraq on a horrifying level. |

#1036382 Dang it, I meant *wouldn't* happen. I feel dumb. |
| Anonymous #1036460 4 months ago |
Even then, Celestia would be inconsolable afterwards. She seems like such a gentle soul, and eternity is a long time to repent for planetary genocide.
This whole discussion is ridiculous, though. Humanity as a whole is fundamentally evil, sure, but that doesn't mean we'd go and invade at the first possible opportunity. How would we even get our own resources there? And which nation would "we" be? If it's America, good luck. We can barely take care of ourselves at this point. And if our leaders announced that they were about to diverge another few billion dollars to invade a peaceful world out of gree alone, oh, the people would deliver upon them a reckoning. We are kind of sick and fucking tired of war. |

@TooOld
Humanity is so evil that we wiped out smallpox and are working on other diseases, raised the standard of living to the highest it has ever been, used technology to expand our horizons and understand our world, made great leaps and bounds in legal and social equality, try to keep as many endangered species alive as possible, and have mastered mass agriculture to produce truly absurd amounts of food to feed a huge percentage of our species, and a group of humans created the FiM world. Suck on that, Mr. Half-Empty! |

Geez louise guys, in the fic there was a tremendous amount of time and energy involved in just getting 6 ponies across the rift.

No, humanity is not fundamentally evil. It's not good, either. It just is what it is, a little bit of both, like two intertwined threads. #1036470

That guy is totally wrong about My Little Dashie. You won't find anyone who hates the idea of ponies being treated like pets more then me, and I've read MLD and I can tell you it's nothing like that. The guy in the story treats Dash like his daughter not a pet.
Also, If humans did invade the pony world they'd loose hard. They wouldn't have any defence against magic, and most likely only a small group of them would be part of the first wave of invaders because humans wouldn't see ponies as a threat. By the time they learned otherwise Celiestia would have already gone into action and it would be too late. Not sure if she'd go so far as to destroy earth, but she'd make damn sure whatever humans used to come across would be completely destroyed. |

Humans making war on Equestria would last roughly three minutes.
General: We demand the surrender of your forces at once! Celestia: No seriously, you don't understand, you can't bring war here, if you do- Discord: OH HAI THERE!!! Oh look! Your tanks are all firing on each other! The infantry is slaughtering itself and teabagging the corpses! Oooh, what are those called, nukes? It's just a shame everyone controlling them decided that.. what's that place.. Washington, DC would be a much better target than Canterlot! It's just a shame my powers don't work over there, or I'd have some REAL fun!!! |
