#Project Horizons

[chaoticsorceressztc]

Seeing enough drone Tessa(s) made me realize something. I could totally put the trauma from Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons into this.

The fear of "Am I still me?"

The part about "I don't deserve this, others should have survived instead" (Probably not as much of this, maybe she feels a bit bad about her family but that's beside the point)

The LACK OF A HEARTBEAT. THE LACK OF TRUE BREATH. Do the drones have endurance? Can they truly get "tired"? If not add the "I can no longer feel tired, I can no longer sweat, I can no longer scream till my lungs give out to it as well. Also the fact she can no longer actually feel tears if she cries. Or cry tears in general. Or eat food. Real food. Or taste... I think? Maybe they can taste? I dunno.

"They keep on telling me to sleep, but I don't need to sleep because I'm a robot now, my brain runs on oil and I don't need to sleep"

I'm overqualified on Drone Tessa trauma.

Also Tessa's chest wouldn't rise and fall when she breaths so it would disorient her by the lack of up and down motion from breathing

So im finally nearing the end of my reread/listen of project horizons... and finally finishing it this time (damn 1.7 million words is a lot)

I know it gets a lot of hate for being stupidly long, dark, violent, and kinda rediculously over the top, But I love it for that, and honestly when you take that in stride its a really fun story and its got so much heart and a lot of well written characters and soo sooo much lore.

Weirdly enough it also has some of the best plural representation ive seen personally... Rampage is basically an artificially created DID system, Sure she's not really the most morally upstanding or mentally stable (because wasteland), but its not just the same old Jeckyll and Hyde style that's done to death, which i think is a good change of pace.

Also got a lot of stuff about dealing with relationship issues, mental health struggles, addiction, sexuality, forgiveness, dealing with loss, Sense of and loss of self, and so much more.

Its definitely not a perfect story, some parts are poorly edited, overly long and rambling, repetitve, or just way too unnecessarily cruel and fucked up.

despite all that I still fully reccomend reading or listening to it if you're brave enough to read a fallout themed pony fanfiction thats almost half a million words longer than homestuck.

do tell me more about fallout equestria. i read some of it when i was a lot younger and really into mlp but i got bored of it

@mindriz Thank you for asking!! I liked Fallout Equestria a lot but don't have anything fresh to say about it other than the fact that even after I played Fallout New Vegas I still kept accidentally calling them PipBucks. Some thoughts on Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons (based off of foggy memories from reading it as a teen):

That shit is so anime. The plot is convoluted as hell and just gets more so over time. Blackjack is a dyed-in-the-wool Oh Cee. She shoots things and blows them up and is an incorrigible licentious flirt and is drunk all the time and gets beaten within an inch of her life every day and tortured and gang-raped and loses her limbs and they get replaced by cybernetic implants (with fingers) and her eyes glow yellow from radiation and she gets sharp carnivore teeth and she eats gems as fuel. I had to go look up whether she got wings because I forgot. And yes, of course she did. Jesus Christ. The whole fic is a series of massive escalations with the author constantly fighting to up the stakes by asking themselves "what's the coolest thing that could happen next?" I still kind of enjoyed it? I dropped it a few chapters in the first time I read it because Blackjack got on my nerves initially, but came back to it because it's an engaging action fic, the characters are very likeable (P-21 is my favourite), and it has a ton of fun ideas and concepts that add value to the original, albeit more in a "okay but this guy I made up was orchestrating everything you made up behind the scenes" way than in a "yes and" way. Relatedly, I think it was a mistake for PH to cross over with FoE, at least in the way that it did. By having Blackjack meet Littlepip and have them swap war stories, the reader is encouraged to compare their struggles in the wasteland. But they're different stories with vastly different scopes. Like yeah, Blackjack suffered worse, but that's because Littlepip's author had some restraint. A little disrespectful to the original fic, to me.

(Another interesting thing I've never seen anyone remark on: PH had an expansive team of betas and editors. And I would read PH author Somber's other fics, posted before and after PH. They're very, very far below the level of writing in PH, which leads me to speculate that their beta team was doing a lot of the legwork here. I could be totally wrong but I don't think I am... the descriptive writing sometimes really ramps up in quality, but inconsistently. Somber seemed to be very much the idea guy.)

Guy who's only ever read Fallout Equestria Project Horizons, talking to someone about their family trauma: I'm getting real Project Horizons vibes from this

my little pony heritage post

[chaoticsorceressztc]

I have read all of Fallout Equestria (620 thousand words)

I have read all of Homestuck (1.3 million words)

I have read all of Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons (Over 1.7 million words)

I probably have so many things wrong with me (Other than the ones I already know about)

Also it's weird that I read something longer than Homestuck word wise before I read Homestuck (That being FoE:PH)

"But Homestuck is still going in Homestuck^2/Beyond canon and all the games" Yes. And Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons has 2 sequels currently going 'Fallout Equestria: Homelands' and 'Fallout Equestria: Project Horizons - Speak'
