I'm a filthy casual that only plays Ninty games these days, but I found out about the Hyetta quest in Elden Ring (hubby is replaying it), and now I got a weird af grimdark AU swirling around in my head. 😭

Plague Ponies - At the Barn

CONTENT WARNING: blood, gore

Previous | Next

Summary:

Twilight has decided to check on Apple Bloom’s new project! The innovative young filly has combined her lessons from Twilight and Zecora to make something new: a potion of duplication.

While they discuss Apple Bloom’s ingenuity, they’re interrupted by a strange sound and the sudden appearance of Big Macintosh. Big Mac should be in bed, but it looks like he has something urgent to discuss in private with Twilight. How out of character….

Transcript below:

Twilight: I’ll come along for a quick peek.

Apple Bloom: You won’t regret it! It’ll be super amazing!~

Apple Bloom: You know that potion of fruitfulness you showed me last time? I thought it was awfully similar to something Zecora taught me, so…

Twilight Sparkle: …You’ve been experimenting with pony and zebra magic! This is so exciting, Apple Bloom! This could be brand new magic!

Twilight Sparkle and Apple Bloom enter the Apple family barn, where Apple Bloom presents Twilight with a jam jar full of a strange liquid sitting on a stool, along with an apple.

Apple Bloom: Ta-da! I call it the Super-Duper Duplication Potion! It’s a bit of a mouthful, so SDDP works too.

Twilight Sparkle, smiling: I think that initialism will definitely be helpful.

Twilight Sparkle: How does it work?

Apple Bloom: If you just sprinkle a little bit on…

Apple Bloom tips the jar until a single drop of potion lands on the apple, which then begins to glow with a bright light.

Apple Bloom: Oh please work please work please work please work please—

The Apple begins to smoke, becoming obscured in white. With a sizzle and a pop, the smoke clears to reveal the duplicated apples. Twilight turns to look at Apple Bloom with awe in her eyes.

Twilight Sparkle: Two perfectly identical apples….Apple Bloom…

Apple Bloom: What? What is it?—

Apple Bloom lets out an excited gasp.

Apple Bloom: Oh oh oh is it my cutie mark?

Twilight Sparkle: I’m sorry, sweetie.

Apple Bloom: If…if even creating new potions ain’t enough, what if I never—

Twilight Sparkle stops Apple Bloom, raising her chin with her wing.

Twilight Sparkle: Apple Bloom, even if your cutie mark isn’t in potions, you are an incredible scientist. I hope you’ll continue your studies. I certainly look forward to what you’ll develop next.

Apple Bloom: Thanks, Twilight. I really do like studying with you and Zecora even if it ain’t my special talent.

Apple Bloom: I’m just glad I haven’t disappointed you, Twilight.

Twilight: Of course not!—

A strange groan suddenly interrupts their conversation, startling Twilight and Apple Bloom. Twilight, particularly jumpy ever since the Changeling attack at the royal wedding, screams and instinctively readies an offensive spell. Apple Bloom screams because Twilight is screaming. Big Macintosh reveals himself, looking awful.

Apple Bloom: Big Mac! What happened? You should be in bed! Is everything alright?

Big Mac: Nope.

Big Mac: Apple Bloom, leave out the side door and head straight to the house.

Apple Bloom: Wha—

Big Mac: Straight. To. The. House.

Apple Bloom: …Alright…

Big Mac: Good. And Twilight, a word? P-please.

Twilight Sparkle: Of course. See you later, Apple Bloom!

Apple Bloom: See ya, Twilight!

Out of sight for Twilight and Apple Bloom, beyond the barn door lies the crumpled body of a strange pony. Their face is disfigured. The skin of the face is torn and bleeding, and their jaw is broken. Their tongue lolls out limp, broken teeth and saliva mixed blood. Big Mac’s hind legs are bloody, and he stands favoring one leg, which appears to be wounded.

End of transcript.

MasterPost of Comics

[askdigidash]

Since the next post will take a while here's a meme that is basically the dynamic

Frequently bought together btw

[totally-tord]

Could I give you a hug by chance? You seem very not ok.

OF COURSE! BRING IT IN, BUDDY!!

* Tord pulls you into a hug. Though not intentionally, his hug feels very tight as it ends up almost crushing you. It's like he's not aware of how abnormally strong he actually is. He remains ignorant to your struggle and doesn't let go for about an hour.

Grimdark!Blue (The Hunger)

Art made by @succulant-system and @colorfulpanda764

Dividers by @animatedglittergraphics-n-more and @sister-lucifer

Concept reused in the Bad Endings!Au

Status: Dead(?)

Allies: The Butcher

Pronouns: Any/Mirror Pronouns

Sexuality: Poly, Pan

☽｡⋆ The Hunger (previously known as blue) is the result of a chronic addiction to Netherwart, which evolved to release spores into the body of its host following consumption due to a potion mishap caused by blue.

☽｡⋆ The host, needing nourishment to feed the plant, develops an appetite for soul soil and the flesh/blood of it's own species whilst losing any need for water or any other nourishments.

☽｡⋆ The Hunger currently lives with The Butcher, who feeds it after their endeavors. Having previously lived with The Butcher, The Hunger is not violent towards them, rather, it is affectionate towards them and even communicates to them (in its own.. zombie-like way).

headcanons more like canons cause i made the au

☽｡⋆ Lives with Red, who shares the flesh of their victims with them.

☽｡⋆ Cant recognize friend from foe anymore, only recognizes Red because of living with them for so long.

☽｡⋆ Lost most memories of color gang, only vaguely recognizes Yellow but cant pinpoint why

☽｡⋆ Is still vaguely sentient despite the infection, retained some of their old personality

☽｡⋆ Smells terrible and is slowly decaying, uses potions to counteract it

☽｡⋆ The plant needs both soul soil AND flesh to survive, as well as the host, so Blue can't substitute one for the other.

☽｡⋆ Left Colorgang's house with Red after the infection started causing memory loss and violence, where Red currently feeds them and keeps them away from others (who aren't their victims)

Please support this AU by reblogging!

ATSV Infection AU anybody?

i have yet to see anyone take their spin of this trend with atsv and it makes me wanna cry LOL spiders within themselves are creepy so its made for some weird horror

never in his life did he see lyla in genuine terror so ofc he'd think she's messing with him..

[lady-lorienn]

Lot of tiny text in this one guys, sorry! Gonna have to zoom in to read some of that!

BUT

Thought I’d jump on the infected AU bandwagon and play around with the concept a bit, see what I cook up! The magic that ponies tap into itself is the source of The Infection, becoming “Rotted Magic” and warping each of the pony races in a manner specific to their ways of using of magic. I’m still developing an origin as to how the magic got corrupted, but I’m thinking one of the scholarly unicorns (probably Purplesmart) somehow tapped too deep in their quest to fully master magic and disrupted the natural balance, causing this.

The more in-tune with their magic, the quicker a pony will become infected (i.e. Twi would be infected much faster than Rarity). The only way to prevent the colloquially dubbed Rot from fully corrupting a pony is to remove their cutie mark, which is where the signs of the infection first show, before the other symptoms set in. When fully infected, and specific symptoms aside, healthy mana (latent magical energy) attempts to escape the onset of Rotted Magic through the mouth, causing the blood-drool and sapping a pony of their vitality. Dark veins indicate severe infection and stem from where the rot is strongest (cutie mark, eyes, and horn). Once fully Rotted, the infection forces its host to search for healthy victims in search of more magic to consume.

There’s still more I wanna explore and tweak in this AU, and I still have to design alicorns, so I’ll probably come back to it if there’s enough interest!
