Why?

Exactly.

I understand why people like horror and gore in general but our fandom seems especially obsessed with it sometimes. Maybe it's because it's interesting to see typically sweet and docile characters such as our ponies be seen in a еще darker light. Anyway I thought Sweet яблоко Massacre sucked hard but I wasn't surprised because it was created by an anti-brony who get all pissy because a brony beat him at COD или something like that. Капкейки was alright, nothing special but at least it has a place in our fandom.

Ты want to read a REAL grimdark fanfiction? Read "Cheerilees garden". That out of make people shut up about how scary Капкейки it.

Personally I only made two grimdark пони stories, the rest are purely comedy and fluff. I prefer to type fanfic where the ponies I Любовь are HAPPY.

Like Ты said, I came into it out of curiosity. And Капкейки has scarred me for life. Yeah, not a Фан of grimdark.

I should've listened when people warned me about Cupcakes...

I don't like it. I didn't know it would be that bad... curiosity got the best of me, yes. I understand. I fainted (literally fainted!) while Чтение Cupcakes.

I agree, StarWarsFan7. Why do people like them? Just wondering.

i actually like the grimdark stories, it took me some time to get used to them at first, some of them sickened me (Sweet яблоко Massacre) and some of them were really long and started to bore me (Cheerilee's Garden) but as soon as i read Trixie's Funhouse, it was just "meh" at that point, and my Избранное is Sweet яблоко Massacre.

I don't like grimdark, but a lot of people do. People like horror Фильмы and books, and that spills into ponies. I used to think it was absolutely abominable (some of it is), but then I realized that it's just someone's preference. People like scary and gory, and MLP is something so innocent that it's ripe for mutation. I don't approve of that, though. Капкейки got thrown at me, and I freaked out. But later I returned to finish it, and even though I hated it, I found it somehow interesting. While Капкейки was horrific and marred Pinkie's reputation, it wasn't as bad as it gets. If one looks at it as a story separate from FiM, then it doesn't seem so bad. Oh, and this cheered me up after Чтение Cupcakes: link
Kay I'm done rambling.

Shed.Mov didnt really bother me that much. I think the fact that the voices are so hilarious that it's easy to not take it seriously.

Капкейки I read the whole way through, and I kinda/sorta wish I hadn't. Even though my Избранное пони Список changes a lot, since i'm so fickle when it comes to that kind of thing, радуга dash was usually up there near #1, so Капкейки really kind of sickened me, but at the same time it helped to hold on to the fact that it's just a fanfiction.

Sweet яблоко massacre: I've never read it. I've heard some stuff about it, that it's way worse than cupcakes, but i've never read it. I started Чтение it once, but I chickened out.

Why do we like grimdark? This is just my opinion, but I believe some of us like grimdark because we like to scare (or sicken) ourselves before going back to the cute, lovable ponies that are My little pony: friendship is magic. I think it helps to hold on to the fact that "It's only a fanfiction" Then again, i've seen the movie version of "Cupcakes" on Youtube before, but I wasnt too bothered by that.

At first I hated cupcakes, but I've grown to like it. радуга Dash is my секунда Избранное character so it's nothing against her. It is at least respectable for being well written and the characterizations are somewhat believable.

Same with Shed.Mov; I found it creepy at first, but now I Любовь that video.

I absolutely HATE Sweet яблоко Massacre after hearing what it's about and I refuse to read it. I think that it is just a festering pile of shit and should be treated as such. Now I don't even like Big Mac that much anymore just because of it. See what stories do to your view on the characters?

The whole "write a gory My Little пони fanfic" thing has turned into some kind of fad where a bunch of people are going to have a pissing match about who can write the most mindless and tasteless gore fic. :|

But I do like gore, that is if it's done right.

If Ты want a good gore story, Ты need to have three things:
1) The gore of course.
2) The ability to invoke a sense of dread in the reader.
3) Being well-written and compelling to read.


Why the bronies and pegasisters like to read and write this sort of stuff? Who knows, really.

I am not fond of gore. I like slightly creepy или eerie things, but nothing graphic.
I have never even heard of these stories Ты speak of, but I'm glad to have now so that I may avoid them.

cuz its awesome^^

I was close to crying when I read Cupcakes, (because I Любовь Pinkie Pie, and to see her character torn apart like that..) But, listening to "Giggle at the Ghosties" taught me just to laugh at how silly it is.

SHED.mov is indescribably silly. It's just like Llamas with Hats.
HELEMENTS OF ARMORY.

I've read Cheerilee's Garden, but I wasn't affected because, frankly, I don't care for Cheerilee или the other rugrats. It was basically SAW for ponies.

Sweet яблоко Massacre? Yeah, people ARE sick. :/

Honestly, Ты should try Чтение the радуга Factory. It's a decent one. It doesn't, at least, have a sh*tload of gore, violence and sex. It's quite decent. I'm not a Фан of gore или even Фан fiction, but the радуга Factory was quite decent.

Капкейки scared the hell out of me. I eventually passed out halfway of Чтение it. I just don't like seeing any Видео или pictures of these gory fanfictions because I have hemophobia.

Out of all of those, I've only seen shed.mov, which was frankly disturbing for a while. That was the first and last time I'll watch that.

Cupcakes, I have never read, and I count myself a lucky pegasister. I heard terrible things about it, and I wasn't that intrigued anyway.

Sweet яблоко Massacre just sounds disturbing.

I read it because i'm obsessed with grimmdark ponies such as fanfics, animation, flash game, fanarts, etc. They don't scare me, they don't make me puke, they were my inspirations. Thats why i read it. Furthermore, I will going to make my own grimmdark comic soon.

Cupcakes? Ive read it multiple times , not THAT scary. Its gore galore but not scary. Like someone else said, fanfics can seriously change your view of a character. Today, for instance, I read an invader zim fanfic (dont know what invader zim is? Google it! Lolz), I swear that when i finished it, I saw Dib as a horrible homicidal maniac. I was all like wtf :p. Sweet яблоко Massacre? Lame, stupid, crappy, short,idiotic, excuse of a fanfic, crappy (did I say crappy twice?) It was the most stupidest story I have read in all my life (im only 13). Cheerilees garden? Disturbing, terrifying, awesome! Now thats what I call a horror fanfic! Heck, I couldnt get past silver spoon and diamond tiaras death.
But, the action of me laughing,giggling,and sneering while Чтение Sweet яблоко Massacre and Cheerilees Garden makes me Вопрос about my sanity... e_o

Exactly I am scared for life and stayed until 5:00 in the Morning being scared and was scared for a week

Ты see..

That wait there! That's the difference between Ты and me!

I like such morbid things because it's AWESOME!

Shed.Mov was friggin halious, and the violence is a lot to do with WHY!?

And as for Cupcakes...
Lesson..
The thing is its NOT scary. None of those silly creepy pastas are. In fact I like Cupcakes, cause the writer actually gave me a fair amount of inspiration in the ways he described stuff. And THAT's why I like like..

The real question.. Why do people act as if it ruined their life.. Haven't Ты ever read my spoof for it. Witch was actually MY WAY of telling people stop taking so damn seriously. IT'S A F***IN STORY! And stop hating on poor Pinkie as well! It will obviously never happen, EVER!

And Sweet яблоко Massicure.. Well at least Капкейки was WORTH reading..

Shed.mov and MLP creepy pastas. Their basically Texas Chainsaw Massacre, nothing else.

It's takes еще than over the вверх torture scenes to be scary. And that all the film and MLP creepy pastas are.. Nothing else.

Gore isn't scary. It's just gore.
Scary is when Ты DON'T know what happening, или Creepy masks smiling at you, или a ghost,y figure staring at Ты from a window..

I could go on and on.. But my point is made...

I don't. I have feelings for радуга Dash, and I don't give a goddamn what anyone thinks about it either. It wasn't curiosity for me, it was the misleading titles.
