I would like to note: flying takes a ton of energy, and a ton of body heat to be directed to the flying muscles, so Rainbow Dash may also be wasting away due to all her energy being put towards flying. She could also have extremely low blood flow to important parts of her body, especially as they lose heat to her flight
she has the potential to be the MOST body horrored, even above apple jack bc w apple jack, second stage is just all her legs being a mangled mess and her crawling around, but not being much of a problem after that, before she starts using her head(but at that point i bet her friends finaly caught her cause no legs no danger imaright) w rainbow dash? shes just flesh now with passage of time she just becomes more and more aerodinamic,, to horror of everyone insluding herself after a w hile of that she wont have furr anymore, no function in front paws either cause of flying drag at some pont, she will fall(1 broken wing beyond repair is all it takes) and die from lack of adrenaline if she wont die due to the virus she will still be just a husk in agony
@@octoinkz cures for rainbow Dash and apple jack AJ, amputate her legs and full body cast RD, amputate her wings and give her new eyes (Edit: if they catch rainbow Dash that is)
I would also imagine it would start with the pony being obsessed with their cutie mark and the ability it represents. Shunning away other habits and interests "Sorry no time to bake a cake, I must draw" Getting more obsessive, where they soon stop sleeping just to spend time using their ability. Let's just say when Luna and Celestia get it, the sun and moon would literally collide. Luna dying because her cutiemark loses it's meaning. But in most cases, they would work themselves... To Death, except their body would still go through the motions.
Wouldn't it just be constant Eclipses before that happen? Atleast in the early stages (1 and 2 specifically) with stage two the sun and moon would rotate faster and more....violently, like loosing control of a bicycle while going downhill until the eventual "crash"
@@gigivena9gachacut560i can just imagine her sitting in a blank room- having been contained by uninfected ponies- coughing out blood as she forces herself to sing.
@@Sparkle8205 the tripo[hobia worms au have her be immune, wich is was very bad for her in the long run she diiiid survive being butchered but ermmm that was defenetly alot
@@Sparkle8205 and it turned out she wasnt immune later, she just had another infection in her organs instead, that killed off the other one on her wings in a civil war
And Pinkie for that matter, Pinkie's usually pretty nuts when sick in these things. I only saw one where she was immune and she was sacrificed for a cure but it didn't work and they got a mutated infection instead. The only infection Au where she's still normal is the Sombra based illness.
I have an idea for pinkie pie: make her face like an forced smile like he wouldn’t want to do but at the same time he can’t do nothing at the same time that he tells random jokes but with an very dry tone since he would be talking 24/7 hours , make also his throat like being destroyed due not drinking or eaten and everyday his body would be skinnier and skinnier to an inhuman point while he cry’s. Also he pinkie pie would try to ask help but couldn’t because of the marks.
@@octoinkz read the other comments I made an index for pinkie pie also pinkie pie eyes I think would go bloodshot and blind for not being able to close them.
I really like this au because while its still really dark, it's also feels very connected to the show and it's themes and honestly still something that could potentially be put *into* the show. Obviously if that happened the body horror and gore would he toned down a lot for kiddos (for instance, instead of applejack breaking her bones she'd just be shown being very exhausted and sore, and would be unintentionally knocking down trees with her kicks, rainbow dash would just be uncontrollably speeding everywhere and crashing into everything, and rarity would probably become a literal crystal magnet and would be physically dragged against her will towards the nearest gem) but the overall concept is perfect for the show. It even comes with a fitting lesson- its great to have interests and talents that you're happy with and proud of, but you should still have balance in your life and make room for rest/socializing/having an identity outside of it and not letting your interest consume you and take over your entire life and being Damn, i didn't mean to ramble so much
Fighter pilots don't hear themselves breaking the sound barrier, so Rainbow's hearing would be fine in that regard. Although, if we're being realistic, the windblast from traveling that fast would make her deaf.
fighter pilots wear helmets and headphones, so good odds those headphones are either noise cancelling, or the plane itself shields the pilot from the noise of a sonic boom.
@@randomocto9842 No because pilots can hear sonic booms from other jets traveling at supersonic speeds if they intersect with that jet's shockwave cone. Pilots can't hear their own sonic booms because the boom created when breaking the sound barrier is like a wake that trails behind the plane. In layman's terms, boomy sounds no reach Rainbow's ears because Rainbow is faster than the boomy sounds she produces.
the difference between her and a fighter pilot though is that they're inside a jet, and they have all this safety gear, while RD is just doing all this with no kind of protection, and she's doing it repeatedly over a short span of time, so it's a pretty different situation from a fighter pilot.
Wow, i love this au so much, i imagine twilights version of the infection would be her actively trying to learn and looking for information 24/7 (i know her cutie mark was obtained via magic but she already has an obssesion with books so why not kick it up a notch) heck she wouldnt even know shes infected cause shed activly be trying to look for the cure and i like to think that by the time she finds the cure, shed be too far gone and start to immideatly start learning more things
Adding onto this concept, what if when Twilight realizes that there is no more knowledge available in Equestria for her to learn, her cutie mark forces her to use magic to wipe her own memory of every single thing she's learnt. Not only would this mean that, on the hypothetical she found a cure, a cure'd be lost, but she'd lose memory of everything she's learnt. Including the ponies she knew, to possibly even basic things like walking, eating, etc. All so she could learn them over again.
I wonder what happens to those who don't have a cutie mark yet? Are they immune? Are they sent away for their own safety? Are there other ponies trying to help by ensuring these markless ponies stay that way? Or worse, what if the markless are not safe? What if the infection manifests as a desperate desire to find the cutie mark? To the point these fillies and foals practically go missing as they wander aimlessly, waiting to spot something new to try, or think of something they could do? What if the early stage lasts awhile longer for markless paitents, starts as a simple desire to find the cutie mark? The pony would still go to school or work, head home for the night, generally act normal, except they cannot refuse a new opportunity. What if paitent zero joined the cutie mark crusaders unknowing of their own infection? What if paitent zero is a certain lonely little filly with absent parents that rarely goes home?
It makes me think of a movie called Maboroshi (I’ve seen the synopsis but haven’t watched it), where no one in a town is allowed to make any changes to themselves. Maybe fillies/ponies with no cutie marks would have to be contained and isolated to prevent interests from forming to prevent infection
I personally think the disease would act like it does in show if the infectee is a blank flank. It will keep generating cutie mark after cutie mark, rather than the single cutie mark enveloping the pony
Let's just hope the princesses never get infected with your cutie disease. So for Celestia, I just imagine her constantly using her magic to move the sun around the planet, like 24/7. So days would literally last only a few minutes. This could potentially turn the ever moving sun into a sort of microwave effect, cooking the planet. Luna though would be trapped in an eternal slumber as her disease traps her in the dream realm and no matter what she does, she can't escape. And while she can enter pony's dreams, she can't interact with them and her presence actually causes nightmares while also magically spreading the disease through dream magic, as I think that's a more logical way of this disease spreading, by mere touch or in unicorn's case, magic touch. Whether that be a magic blast or telekinesis. Cadance however is probably the worst, as she basically forces whatever she sees to fall in love with either her, someone else, and/or something else. This goes to the point that the love spell she casts makes the victim can only think about the object of their affection. On one end of the spectrum, they become practically attached to the object of their 'love'. Forgoing sleep, eating, hygiene, everything just to spend every waking moment with the object they are being forced to 'love'. On the other end though, the 'love' they feel is so great, that they want the object of their 'love' inside them, so they will literally eat the thing they 'love'. Just imagine a pony with hearts in their eyes as they gourge themselves on another pony, or force themselves to burst by shoving literal food down their throats.
What if Twilight being the element of magic would have her either try to gain more power or start shooting people with her horn? Or maybe the unexpected is she becomes immune because of the fact the disease wouldn't know how to do anything with her talent cuz its magic. Or its cuz of the fact Twi is already having a tendency to stress herself. And for Fluttershy I can't help but think that bcuz her element was for the animals she thought it wouldn't be as bad at first until her food storage runs out. So the disease has her feed herself to the animals! 😢 But those are just my theories and guesses XD
I do believe this AU would also do something to Discord, in that he becomes a bit of unstable entity, all the chaos caused by the virus would build. *Maybe he glitches a lot* He doesn't have a cutie mark, but his physical body is kept around due to chaos so an influx of that would have a bad effect on him. He has the power to fix everything... But the chaos gave him too much power, that he would in danger the one friend who was spared if he even tries. *I believe fluttershy would have been in his dimension, and was never exposed.* "I really want to help, but in this state if I was to even try... I am worried I would just harm your friends"
3:21 Fun fact the apple sleep experiment had that in it where AJ got so upset that she kept kicking a tree down and than lost control to the point that she kept kicking all three trees down but unlike what you’re doing ponies were attached to the trees
i love these sososososo much !! i love that you didn’t go with rarity’s love for fashion, but !! i did have a little idea as an alternative for her, constantly sewing is obviously not good for you physically because it results in bad posture, back pain, hand cramps etc so that could’ve been played into really well !! she could have bent her spine out of shape, leaving her permanently hunched over, and had her hooves be all cut up and sore. on top of that, it could’ve gotten to a point where she physically couldnt get up from her sewing machine to fetch needles or pins so she could be using her own legs as pin cushions. though that is just my own idea and i absolutely love what you went with !! this feels so original in comparison to all else i’ve seen :D
Other random ideas i had for this au: Starlight: -If the flower (from the cutie-pox episode) fails, Starlight Glimmer could become a vital charecter when it comes to removing their charecters. This however, could make a harsh/breaking desision for starlight, as it would mean to repeat a horrid part of her past again, a thing which she truly fears. Idk i think that it'd be a cool charecter arc. -To continue with this, Starlight is powerful, but sometimes she can get extremely carried away, and be extremely ambitious. A dangerous chance of her being infected. -I think that either thorax and/or spike would be good choices to keep Starlight from trying anything too extreme, like protectors or guides. They have shown to calm her down before, so i think that theyd fit the role well as her gaurdians. Spike: -At first when/if twilight is infected, Spike begs to stay with her to help her, being that he doesnt have a cutie mark, but twilight before losing it, might beg him to run and/or finding starlight, or somewhere safe. (Kind of like that one crystal empire special) - will be able to have a higher chance of safety from destruction with a smaller size..i think. -if their IS a way you would want him to be infected, perhaps you could make his spikes hurt and be really painful, but not taking him over like the others. (This might work because of that one episode where he is called by the map.) :> Changelings/Thorax: -because of this virus, i thought itd be a good sub-plot/obstacle of Thorax banning any changling, from shapshifting into a pony. It could be due to parinoia, or perhaps they would actually be infected with their false cutie marks, who knows? :0 The infection may find a way.... -Thorax has been shown to be accepting of different quests, so i feel like he would pair up with Starlight and Spike. - While hes gone, he might leave his brother in charge. (Maybe, i think-) -definitely, thorax would be the one who keeps the group from falling apart. He is very calm and gentle, and has kept those qualitys even when in danger like in season six. He may find it hard to harm other ponies to stop them from causing harm, but the two things combined may find help quite nicely for good charecter dynamics. ‐-------------------------- Anyways, THIS AU ROCKS!!!! The creativity and darkness of it, combined with thr dark thought, is absolutely amazing! Well done! 😊❤ 👏
Oh my.. Applejack's one is so cool! Theres a episode in the show (That i can't really remember the name) ,where big mac couldn't help in a apple seaseon because of some trouble, and applejack starts doing all the work herself, refusing to get any help or sleep. You really made a dark version of that episode, i am looking foward to this!
the mlp apocolypse aus have been awesome! im glad theyre coming back! i remember back in the golden days of g4 when all there was was the smile HD stuff and the Rainbow factory creepypastas, i really missed this time in the community so im glad its making a come back your au is fantastic and so are the designs!
I'm wondering how this would affect Shining Armor, since his cutie mark seems to be based around wanting to protect people. I think that maybe he would either over use his magic to keep others safe or he would isolate himself to the point of insanity to keep himself from spreading the disease to anyone else.
Makes me think about what would happen to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Everybody’s Cutie Marks start taking them over, and the CMC’s talents are helping others to find and understand their Cutie Marks. Do they look for foals to “help” them get their Cutie Marks when these foals no doubt want nothing more than to never get a Cutie Mark now? Do they force them to do things against their will? Maybe the foals all start hiding from them and leave them with no way to feed the compulsions. After that, would they see the ponies around them being affected by their Cutie Marks like this and know that there’s nothing they can do to help? What kind of torture would they go through, being compelled to do something until they drop, but it’s something unobtainable because it’s incurable and they can’t stop it?
God damn is this good. One of the main weaknesses I’ve seen with Infection AUs is that they tend to (heavily) rely on stills and graphics from the show and official content; while the edits can be very good, it’s still noticeable. Seeing one with custom art - and so far, damn solid art - is a nice change of pace, as well as it being a take on the Cutie Pox. Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I love that Rarity kind of mirrors the twinkle-eyed ponies lore, where ponies were enslaved and forced to work in mines collecting gem stones for an evil wizard. They went blind due to being in the dark for so long. But when Applejack defeats the wizard, his gemstone throne shatters and shards of it are lodged into the ponies' eyes, giving them a gemstone look and restoring their eyesight
On MLP infection AUs, some of my favorites have come from being inspired by things in the show. Black Tree Disease being a reference to a throwaway line from Granny in Where The Apple Lies and Rainbow Mouth Disease coming from the prank in 28 Pranks Later are the main two. So I'm definitely invested in this.
this is so cool and such a good take on the whole like infection trend because most of them are zombie-like ? also omg the rainbow fash one thats what ive been saying !!! like everytime she does a sonic rainboom..ik her ears must be ringing after that like 😭😭
Oh this is an interesting take. I'm not usually not the biggest fan of these zombie apocalypse AUs and gore yet for some reason I've been fascinated with these infection AUs for MLP. I also like how you used show lore to make this one. Others I've seen have used Everfree Forrest or the Swamp Fever from the episode that introduced Mage Meadowbrook and those have been my favorites cause of using show lore
i love this sm :O my fyp has been feeding me with all these mlp infection aus but this one is the most creative one i've seen so far!! i love your art :3
This is so creative!! Using the cutiepox is awesome!! ALSO RARITYS IS SO CREATIVE!! I’m glad you remembered her gem finding talent, it was only mentioned in like… two episodes Apple sleep experiment type beat for AJ, lol
For rainbow dash, shed actually die pretty fast due to the gravity being forced onto her body making all her blood go into her back hooves and not be able to flow throughout her body. Also rd reminds me of that one pony.mov where she kills everyone from a sonic rainboom, aj reminds me of apple sleep experiment, i was afraid rarity was gonna go towards rarity's new patterns but i was surprised it didnt.
I've just recently discovered the disease stuff circling around with MLP, and this is honestly one of my favorite ones so far! I wish to see the other ponies, please! I'm also curious if you're cool with people making fan-versions of this disease you made?
I can see why the village from Story of the Blanks fear cutie marks I remember finding the game Story of the Blanks in the past & it was apparently before the Cutie Pox episode(at least from what TV Tropes had to imply), while they wrongfully hurt a filly over her getting her cutie mark this infection/disease would be a good explanation for why they're scared of a pony getting their cutie mark cause who knows what could happen & how messed up cutie mark related diseases can get
With Rarity, if you DID decide to make her infection based off her talent, you could have made it so like Rarity tried to make HERSELF the clothes by like tearing off her skin and then stitching fabric over where it was to make herself look like clothing and also have stitches all over her and maybe try to do it to others? almost like how people stitch together old toys or clothes with patches!
I love this AU so much! One small correction for Rainbow, though: when breaking the sound barrier, the person that is doing the sound-barrier breaking does not actually hear the sonic boom that goes off. This is part of why it's so dangerous to break the sound barrier: you literally cannot tell that you're doing it. I do agree with others saying that the heat from the constant flying and air resistance would destroy her, though. Great ideas so far! I can't wait to see more!
ayy, a fellow mari; love your art! your persona looks so cute, and I love how you do colors! :D I didn't think seeing subtitles on a video would make me this happy, you're probably one of the only people I've seen do that :')
I LOVE your designs and I also came up with another idea for Rarity. This one starts with heavier psychological effects than physical. She becomes even more of a perfectionist and doesn’t even eat or sleep because she’s spending all her time on the “perfect” design. If she finds a flaw in what she’s making, real or imagined, she’ll take the entire thing apart and try to remake it. She’s also constantly trying on her projects to make sure they’re perfect. Because the effects aren’t as obvious (at first) as AJ’s Rainbow Dash’s and because she’s constantly wearing full outfits, at first others don’t realize she’s infected, potentially making her a super-spreader as customers still try to come by. But as time goes by, others finally realize she’s not eating, sleeping or even opening and closing the store. She’s obsessively taking apart everything around her and redesigning it to be perfect. Eventually she’s barely even in there and her creations only have a somewhat recognizable pattern because she’s just going through the motions now and processing very little of anything she does. Sort of like a worse version of Inspiration Manifestation.
This is so cool! Rarity reminded me of something! In G1 there were 'twinkle eyed' ponies who literally had gemstones instead of eyeballs!! They are lovely but so morbid
This is such an interesting concept, i was literally thinking about something like this the other day! XD Amazing art, too! Kinda show style but still with your own touch, i love that! I'd love to see the rest of the mane 6!
I had this exact idea in mind for an Au and was even making it. Mine was a cutie mark curse that creates specialized deaths for each characters special talent. I'm sad to know my idea isn't the original, and now I'm tempted to just scrap the whole project and make something else. Awesome drawings, tho 🥲❤
Just because your idea is similar doesn't mean that you have to scrap it, that iteration of the AU is still unique to you! Whatever you choose to end up doing with your storyline, I wish you good luck. 👍🏻
I honestly found that episode to be terrifying. Imagine no longer having control of your own body, unable to rest with no known cure as you're doomed to work your body to death. Yes I know the episode didn't go that deep into it, but the concept is still very much there.
The infection aus have infected my current fixations 🤣 Jokes aside, I absolutely love this stuff. Most of my stuff is cute and round, but at heart, any and all horror/gore art is my favorite. So I love when they're combined! Great stuff!
I’d say honestly that Rarity’s Talent is essentially finding the beauty in things, as she got her Cutie Mark when she found beautiful gemstones hidden inside an initially dull looking rock. So it could be neat if sort of like in the Inspiration Manifestation episode, she goes around to find people and locations and stuff to try and force them to look more beautiful perhaps
I really like what you did with Rainbow Dash here, it kinda reminds me of what a zombified Flash does in DCeased. I like to think her Rainbooms are carrying the virus through the air, spreading it much farther and much faster than normal
For twilight, she would be constantly casting difficult spells or even dangerous ones, or she uses alicorn magic till she dies or exhaustion or gets consumed by the crystals created from alicorn magic (all-a king sombra style). Pinkie Pie is kinda weird though… Her talent is to help others be happy, so she would probably start by “trying to cheer everyone up” after this sickness starts to spread, until the others realize that she never brings a stop to the party even after days on end. Pinkie never sleeps, but she is eating and drinking, and other-wise acts normally, until tears start to fall from her eyes despite smiling and telling jokes for days-on-end, and eventually dies from lack of sleep after 2-3 weeks. Fluttershy? Her talent is talking to animals, so It think that eventually she would just be unable to talk to any intelligent creatures that could already talk with ponies (dragons, changelings, yaks, etc) and could ONLY communicate with animals, and eventually dies in their care, alone.
I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!! I think saw another Cutie Mark infection AU somewhere, and your version is so much more creative!!! I love how its basically the infection turning their qualities into their flaws, like playing their one game against them!! I like how someone else is also going into a more canon route about this! Im making my own right now and its about magic being lost in Equestria because of Equestria Girls's magic introduction!! So i love it when people make canon implemented in this infection stuff!! Id so love you to do Pinkie too, i think she'd be so disturbing LMAO! :D
This is so creative! I love the idea of CWD and cutie marks combined. Nice work! And i love the amount of detail and thought you put into makin these. Cant wait to see more! ❤
This is just what I've been looking for! I saw art of this disease and thought it was a cool concept but never found a story about it. The other day I found your channel and watched the scary worms story, now I found this :)
fr, i love Rainbow dash and i knew where you were going with this since i love the realism in stuff like this! when you brought up the blindness, damages, and even deaf Rainbow would be, i swear i was nodding like " yessss!" plus i know that i wouldnt even try saving her cause she would probably go right through me if i tried to help her.
my immediate thought upon finishing the video was "i wonder what kind of torture my OC would go through" but then i realize i never figured out their talent, just slapped a cutiemark on them and forgot about their existence for the rest of time LOL (the cutie mark is literally icicles on fire, because their name is Fireicy......... don't judge, i made them when i was like, 11 LOL)
Hey its ok! I actually thought that the cutie mark is really cool! I even thought of some possible ideas, if that's ok lol 1: one thing I thought of, was that the cutie mark could represent a desire in them to do the impossible, or to defy what is known/said in general. A contrarian, or a, "dare devil," to be presise. If the cutie mark were to be infected, perhaps they will be forced to do increasingly reckless tasks, refusing to do what literally anyone/anything says, causing immense chaos. 2: One other thing that the cutie mark could possibly represent, is the ability to bring opposing sides together, a peacemaker of opposite sides, like fire, and ice! I'm not sure what would happen to the cutie mark in this version, but the concept is cool. 3: CliMaTE ChANgE CuTiEMARK- 4: OK, one more, this one is serious, I promise! What if your ocs talent, is to warm ponies cold hearts..? (See what I did there? :D) They might be very compassionate, caring, and persistent, even with those who are cold-hearted, warming up their hearts in the process. If this was cursed, perhaps they would continually help others, to the point of completely ignoring their own needs. Slowly they would deteriorate and fall apart, wishing for a break they could never get...(unless of course there cured. ^^) I hope this helps, and I wish you a good day today. 😁 🔥 ❄
@@MyraL_ YOOOOOOOO, THOSE ARE SUCH NEAT IDEAS OMG,,,,,,,, you fr out here making me wanna redesign them just to implement your ideas,, 👀 (also, the daredevil one is actually rather fitting, since Fireicy was originally made off of a Rainbow Dash base!)
i love this au and it’s definitely one of the most creative ones I’ve ever seen! i love your grotesque designs. ive never been really sensitive to gore so what i see is some sick as hell stuff keep it up!! 🔥🔥
I know next to nothing about MLP, but I am a neurology and infectious disease enthusiast and specifically fascinated by prion diseases so I tapped on this video immediately.
can i just say that first of all, your designs are SO good and i lovee your artstyle and second, can we just appreciate how well thought this is, i love how you used lore from the actual show and stuff because usually alot of the lore is left out in these infection aus..
I wonder how you’d do Twilight, since she’s one of the many characters who’s Talent is just sort of generally being good at learning magic. Would she just be in an endless loop of researching new spells she doesn’t know and randomly practicing those spells without warning? And like what about Fluttershy? Her Talent is her ability to take care of and speak to animals, so would she be forcing her care onto others? Like obsessively doing every little thing even if the animal doesn’t want anything to do with her?
4:15 probably one of the most relatable things ever for anyone who draws/writes is just apologizing to characters for the great yet also intensive plots you put them through
Good job recomending the younger viewers a different video intead of just pushing them away, my little sister was going to watch this and she instead watched the video u recomended, after watching this im terrified 😭😨
This is awesome!! I love all the designs and I've been waiting for someone to make an au based on wasting disease. It's such a scary disease. It's like rabies in the sense that it controls the person and kills them slowly.
Ok but while you were doing rarity, I just thought if somepony found her and tried to take her gemstones like she would be screaming at them. Like I could hear her in my mind just yelling "NO!!!! GIVE IT BAAAACK!!!!!!" As if it was the only thing keeping her alive.
Yesssss, I rewatched the Cutie pox episode while also having gotten into watching the infection AU stuff, and I had the inevitable thought: *”Someone is gonna make an infection AU with the Cutie Pox idea, and I’ll be ALL there for it!!!”*
6:44 about the eyes do you know anything about the first gen perchance? I ask bc that era had twinkle eye ponies, which were ponies with fake gems 4 eyes. For those curious as to why i ask: these ponies actually have a eu exclusive comic explaining their origins. If you ever hear older fans talk about gen1 applejack having a kill count, this comic is y - these ponies went blind after being forced to dig up gems for an evil wizard. When he captures applejack she kicks him into a chasm in the cave which shatters his throne made of the gems he was collecting. The ponies take these gems and the magic within them gave them the ability to see again. So story wise, that could connect to ur au!
I can imagine that in the early stages of Rainbow Dash being infected she would just randomly like- disappear lol. Like, she would just be chilling and then all the sudden her cutie mark would make her fly half way across the world.
So a couple of months ago i decided to make an au based on the episode 28 pranks later, then this au trend got popular and i think its a sign i should continue on my au lol. Gave me a bunch of ideas.
I love you use cwd as inspiration/ref, something you could also include, which happens with cwd, is the disease could last years after the infected has passed. Contaminated soil and ground water would be a huge threat. Fun fact: CWD can only be destroyed quicker... With fire... Not just any small flame, we are talking HOT. CWD can also be transmitted through water that was drank by the infected host as well.
This is so cool! I know nothing about this fandom, but I love researching infections and stuff, especially CWD, it’s so fascinating in such a terrifying way 😅
I think about some ponies with not actually have a meaning on the cutie mark, like Derpye, she would get more "derpye" having something like dementia? Or she would act normal?
I made sm like this the cutie mark like goes to the eyes and goes in to the heart and slowly kills you and then your a zombie pony and you infects others

I would like to note: flying takes a ton of energy, and a ton of body heat to be directed to the flying muscles, so Rainbow Dash may also be wasting away due to all her energy being put towards flying. She could also have extremely low blood flow to important parts of her body, especially as they lose heat to her flight
Oh yeah true!
she has the potential to be the MOST body horrored, even above apple jack
bc w apple jack, second stage is just all her legs being a mangled mess and her crawling around, but not being much of a problem after that, before she starts using her head(but at that point i bet her friends finaly caught her cause no legs no danger imaright)
w rainbow dash? shes just flesh now
with passage of time she just becomes more and more aerodinamic,, to horror of everyone insluding herself
after a w hile of that she wont have furr anymore, no function in front paws either cause of flying drag
at some pont, she will fall(1 broken wing beyond repair is all it takes) and die from lack of adrenaline
if she wont die due to the virus she will still be just a husk in agony

I would also imagine it would start with the pony being obsessed with their cutie mark and the ability it represents.
Shunning away other habits and interests "Sorry no time to bake a cake, I must draw"
Getting more obsessive, where they soon stop sleeping just to spend time using their ability.
Let's just say when Luna and Celestia get it, the sun and moon would literally collide. Luna dying because her cutiemark loses it's meaning.
But in most cases, they would work themselves... To Death, except their body would still go through the motions.
Ah that’s cool! And dang the Luna and celestia thing is dark
Wouldn't it just be constant Eclipses before that happen? Atleast in the early stages (1 and 2 specifically) with stage two the sun and moon would rotate faster and more....violently, like loosing control of a bicycle while going downhill until the eventual "crash"
this just sounds like having ADHD 😭😭😭

@@comfortme except instead of extreme difficulty to help yourself and do stuff you need to do it’s just not possible except one specific thing
The cutie mark crusaders would definitely be ganging up on fillies without cutie makes to make them get the virus by getting their marks
The cmc usually help people find the meaning of their cutie marks rather than help them receive them!
I believe that Sweet Bell would just sing without stop, ultil her jaw is broken and vocal cords bleeding... But she still do the motion of sing
I'd like to think they'd want to help people and since they don't have cutiemarks they need to learn about science and magic to find a cure :0
@@octoinkz They help a ton of ponies receive them, it just doesn't happen much on-camera. They have that whole cutie mark camp thing.
@@gigivena9gachacut560i can just imagine her sitting in a blank room- having been contained by uninfected ponies- coughing out blood as she forces herself to sing.
Thus is the first time I saw fluttershy or twillight not get infected. Both of them already went through so much, so I'm happy they're realitively ok
ive seen other AUs where the alicorns are immune and fluttershy was with discord, safe. Those aus are awesome and have a lot of love put into them
@@Sparkle8205 the tripo[hobia worms au have her be immune, wich is was very bad for her in the long run
she diiiid survive being butchered but ermmm that was defenetly alot
@@Sparkle8205 and it turned out she wasnt immune later, she just had another infection in her organs instead, that killed off the other one on her wings in a civil war
And Pinkie for that matter, Pinkie's usually pretty nuts when sick in these things. I only saw one where she was immune and she was sacrificed for a cure but it didn't work and they got a mutated infection instead. The only infection Au where she's still normal is the Sombra based illness.
@@zealousamourous I saw on where pinkie went missing but she ended up non-infected
Honestly knowing pinkie pies talent being making people laugh is uh……concerning.
Yeah I’m a little perplexed on how to design her if I were to
I have an idea for pinkie pie: make her face like an forced smile like he wouldn’t want to do but at the same time he can’t do nothing at the same time that he tells random jokes but with an very dry tone since he would be talking 24/7 hours , make also his throat like being destroyed due not drinking or eaten and everyday his body would be skinnier and skinnier to an inhuman point while he cry’s. Also he pinkie pie would try to ask help but couldn’t because of the marks.
Sorry if I have any grammar error.
@@octoinkz read the other comments I made an index for pinkie pie also pinkie pie eyes I think would go bloodshot and blind for not being able to close them.
@@MisteryFeat ooo dark! That’s pretty cool
I really like this au because while its still really dark, it's also feels very connected to the show and it's themes and honestly still something that could potentially be put *into* the show. Obviously if that happened the body horror and gore would he toned down a lot for kiddos (for instance, instead of applejack breaking her bones she'd just be shown being very exhausted and sore, and would be unintentionally knocking down trees with her kicks, rainbow dash would just be uncontrollably speeding everywhere and crashing into everything, and rarity would probably become a literal crystal magnet and would be physically dragged against her will towards the nearest gem) but the overall concept is perfect for the show. It even comes with a fitting lesson- its great to have interests and talents that you're happy with and proud of, but you should still have balance in your life and make room for rest/socializing/having an identity outside of it and not letting your interest consume you and take over your entire life and being
Damn, i didn't mean to ramble so much
Yeah for sure! These are some really cool ideas! And don’t feel bad for rambling ever!
@@octoinkz💯
Fighter pilots don't hear themselves breaking the sound barrier, so Rainbow's hearing would be fine in that regard. Although, if we're being realistic, the windblast from traveling that fast would make her deaf.
"not hearing" is one thing, "not feeling" on the other hand...
fighter pilots wear helmets and headphones, so good odds those headphones are either noise cancelling, or the plane itself shields the pilot from the noise of a sonic boom.
@@randomocto9842 No because pilots can hear sonic booms from other jets traveling at supersonic speeds if they intersect with that jet's shockwave cone. Pilots can't hear their own sonic booms because the boom created when breaking the sound barrier is like a wake that trails behind the plane. In layman's terms, boomy sounds no reach Rainbow's ears because Rainbow is faster than the boomy sounds she produces.
the difference between her and a fighter pilot though is that they're inside a jet, and they have all this safety gear, while RD is just doing all this with no kind of protection, and she's doing it repeatedly over a short span of time, so it's a pretty different situation from a fighter pilot.
Wow, i love this au so much, i imagine twilights version of the infection would be her actively trying to learn and looking for information 24/7 (i know her cutie mark was obtained via magic but she already has an obssesion with books so why not kick it up a notch) heck she wouldnt even know shes infected cause shed activly be trying to look for the cure and i like to think that by the time she finds the cure, shed be too far gone and start to immideatly start learning more things
Ooo that’s a cool concept!
Adding onto this concept, what if when Twilight realizes that there is no more knowledge available in Equestria for her to learn, her cutie mark forces her to use magic to wipe her own memory of every single thing she's learnt. Not only would this mean that, on the hypothetical she found a cure, a cure'd be lost, but she'd lose memory of everything she's learnt. Including the ponies she knew, to possibly even basic things like walking, eating, etc. All so she could learn them over again.
"Here's the cure, now leave so that I can unlock the truth of reality!"
"Welp I read the entire history of Ponyville! Time to discover long lost civilizations and ancient magic!"@@SnowHoof000
I think she’d definitely notice the symptoms of an excruciating pain on the side of her butt and veins portruding from her Cutie Mark
I wonder what happens to those who don't have a cutie mark yet?
Are they immune? Are they sent away for their own safety? Are there other ponies trying to help by ensuring these markless ponies stay that way?
Or worse, what if the markless are not safe? What if the infection manifests as a desperate desire to find the cutie mark? To the point these fillies and foals practically go missing as they wander aimlessly, waiting to spot something new to try, or think of something they could do? What if the early stage lasts awhile longer for markless paitents, starts as a simple desire to find the cutie mark? The pony would still go to school or work, head home for the night, generally act normal, except they cannot refuse a new opportunity. What if paitent zero joined the cutie mark crusaders unknowing of their own infection? What if paitent zero is a certain lonely little filly with absent parents that rarely goes home?
It makes me think of a movie called Maboroshi (I’ve seen the synopsis but haven’t watched it), where no one in a town is allowed to make any changes to themselves. Maybe fillies/ponies with no cutie marks would have to be contained and isolated to prevent interests from forming to prevent infection
I personally think the disease would act like it does in show if the infectee is a blank flank. It will keep generating cutie mark after cutie mark, rather than the single cutie mark enveloping the pony
Let's just hope the princesses never get infected with your cutie disease. So for Celestia, I just imagine her constantly using her magic to move the sun around the planet, like 24/7. So days would literally last only a few minutes. This could potentially turn the ever moving sun into a sort of microwave effect, cooking the planet.
Luna though would be trapped in an eternal slumber as her disease traps her in the dream realm and no matter what she does, she can't escape. And while she can enter pony's dreams, she can't interact with them and her presence actually causes nightmares while also magically spreading the disease through dream magic, as I think that's a more logical way of this disease spreading, by mere touch or in unicorn's case, magic touch. Whether that be a magic blast or telekinesis.
Cadance however is probably the worst, as she basically forces whatever she sees to fall in love with either her, someone else, and/or something else. This goes to the point that the love spell she casts makes the victim can only think about the object of their affection. On one end of the spectrum, they become practically attached to the object of their 'love'. Forgoing sleep, eating, hygiene, everything just to spend every waking moment with the object they are being forced to 'love'. On the other end though, the 'love' they feel is so great, that they want the object of their 'love' inside them, so they will literally eat the thing they 'love'. Just imagine a pony with hearts in their eyes as they gourge themselves on another pony, or force themselves to burst by shoving literal food down their throats.
Oh wow that’s a really good idea!
@@octoinkz Came up with it while playing World War Z Afterlife.
Thanks for the image, I hate it!
Infected Celestia really reminds me of Made in Heaven.
@@octoinkz Oh, and if you ever want to use the idea for a video, by all means go ahead, I won't mind. I can't draw for shite anyway.
What if Twilight being the element of magic would have her either try to gain more power or start shooting people with her horn? Or maybe the unexpected is she becomes immune because of the fact the disease wouldn't know how to do anything with her talent cuz its magic. Or its cuz of the fact Twi is already having a tendency to stress herself.
And for Fluttershy I can't help but think that bcuz her element was for the animals she thought it wouldn't be as bad at first until her food storage runs out. So the disease has her feed herself to the animals! 😢
But those are just my theories and guesses XD
Ooo that’s interesting for twilight! I think fluttershy would work with animals that would even end up harming her
@@octoinkzHome girl tries to tame a cockatrice and gets out-stared
itd be interesting if fluttershy fed other ponies to the animals
Endless d&d wild magic rolls….
I do believe this AU would also do something to Discord, in that he becomes a bit of unstable entity, all the chaos caused by the virus would build. *Maybe he glitches a lot*
He doesn't have a cutie mark, but his physical body is kept around due to chaos so an influx of that would have a bad effect on him.
He has the power to fix everything... But the chaos gave him too much power, that he would in danger the one friend who was spared if he even tries.
*I believe fluttershy would have been in his dimension, and was never exposed.*
"I really want to help, but in this state if I was to even try... I am worried I would just harm your friends"
Oooo that’s a really cool thought!
Considering his casual antics, he'd probably possess an entire town and have pixels and fluctuation animation processes everywhere.

"Not as Scary"
*Proceeds to make the scariest Rarity Infection form i've seen*
In all seriousness though, amazing job!
i love these sososososo much !! i love that you didn’t go with rarity’s love for fashion, but !! i did have a little idea as an alternative for her, constantly sewing is obviously not good for you physically because it results in bad posture, back pain, hand cramps etc so that could’ve been played into really well !! she could have bent her spine out of shape, leaving her permanently hunched over, and had her hooves be all cut up and sore. on top of that, it could’ve gotten to a point where she physically couldnt get up from her sewing machine to fetch needles or pins so she could be using her own legs as pin cushions. though that is just my own idea and i absolutely love what you went with !! this feels so original in comparison to all else i’ve seen :D
Ohhh that’s really cool! I didn’t even think of that
Other random ideas i had for this au:
Starlight:
-If the flower (from the cutie-pox episode) fails, Starlight Glimmer could become a vital charecter when it comes to removing their charecters. This however, could make a harsh/breaking desision for starlight, as it would mean to repeat a horrid part of her past again, a thing which she truly fears. Idk i think that it'd be a cool charecter arc.
-To continue with this, Starlight is powerful, but sometimes she can get extremely carried away, and be extremely ambitious. A dangerous chance of her being infected.
-I think that either thorax and/or spike would be good choices to keep Starlight from trying anything too extreme, like protectors or guides. They have shown to calm her down before, so i think that theyd fit the role well as her gaurdians.
Spike:
-At first when/if twilight is infected, Spike begs to stay with her to help her, being that he doesnt have a cutie mark, but twilight before losing it, might beg him to run and/or finding starlight, or somewhere safe.
(Kind of like that one crystal empire special)
- will be able to have a higher chance of safety from destruction with a smaller size..i think.
-if their IS a way you would want him to be infected, perhaps you could make his spikes hurt and be really painful, but not taking him over like the others. (This might work because of that one episode where he is called by the map.) :>
Changelings/Thorax:
-because of this virus, i thought itd be a good sub-plot/obstacle of Thorax banning any changling, from shapshifting into a pony. It could be due to parinoia, or perhaps they would actually be infected with their false cutie marks, who knows? :0
The infection may find a way....
-Thorax has been shown to be accepting of different quests, so i feel like he would pair up with Starlight and Spike.
- While hes gone, he might leave his brother in charge. (Maybe, i think-)
-definitely, thorax would be the one who keeps the group from falling apart. He is very calm and gentle, and has kept those qualitys even when in danger like in season six. He may find it hard to harm other ponies to stop them from causing harm, but the two things combined may find help quite nicely for good charecter dynamics.

Anyways, THIS AU ROCKS!!!!
The creativity and darkness of it, combined with thr dark thought, is absolutely amazing! Well done! 😊❤ 👏
Thank you! And wow your ideas are really awesome!
@@octoinkz thank you! :D
@@octoinkzImagine Twilight being patient 0 but everyone thinking she was not infected because... Twilight being Twilight XD

Oh my.. Applejack's one is so cool!
Theres a episode in the show (That i can't really remember the name) ,where big mac couldn't help in a apple seaseon because of some trouble, and applejack starts doing all the work herself, refusing to get any help or sleep. You really made a dark version of that episode, i am looking foward to this!
OmG yeah I remember that, applejack is super prone to overworking herself 😞
the mlp apocolypse aus have been awesome! im glad theyre coming back! i remember back in the golden days of g4 when all there was was the smile HD stuff and the Rainbow factory creepypastas, i really missed this time in the community so im glad its making a come back your au is fantastic and so are the designs!
Awe thanks!
I'm wondering how this would affect Shining Armor, since his cutie mark seems to be based around wanting to protect people. I think that maybe he would either over use his magic to keep others safe or he would isolate himself to the point of insanity to keep himself from spreading the disease to anyone else.
He’d probably become so obsessed with protecting cadence and the baby he wouldn’t eat or sleep
@@octoinkz Oh god yeah
Bro about to become a pox golem
Makes me think about what would happen to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Everybody’s Cutie Marks start taking them over, and the CMC’s talents are helping others to find and understand their Cutie Marks. Do they look for foals to “help” them get their Cutie Marks when these foals no doubt want nothing more than to never get a Cutie Mark now? Do they force them to do things against their will? Maybe the foals all start hiding from them and leave them with no way to feed the compulsions. After that, would they see the ponies around them being affected by their Cutie Marks like this and know that there’s nothing they can do to help? What kind of torture would they go through, being compelled to do something until they drop, but it’s something unobtainable because it’s incurable and they can’t stop it?
God damn is this good. One of the main weaknesses I’ve seen with Infection AUs is that they tend to (heavily) rely on stills and graphics from the show and official content; while the edits can be very good, it’s still noticeable. Seeing one with custom art - and so far, damn solid art - is a nice change of pace, as well as it being a take on the Cutie Pox.
Looking forward to seeing where this goes.
I love that Rarity kind of mirrors the twinkle-eyed ponies lore, where ponies were enslaved and forced to work in mines collecting gem stones for an evil wizard. They went blind due to being in the dark for so long. But when Applejack defeats the wizard, his gemstone throne shatters and shards of it are lodged into the ponies' eyes, giving them a gemstone look and restoring their eyesight
On MLP infection AUs, some of my favorites have come from being inspired by things in the show. Black Tree Disease being a reference to a throwaway line from Granny in Where The Apple Lies and Rainbow Mouth Disease coming from the prank in 28 Pranks Later are the main two. So I'm definitely invested in this.
this is so cool and such a good take on the whole like infection trend because most of them are zombie-like ? also omg the rainbow fash one thats what ive been saying !!! like everytime she does a sonic rainboom..ik her ears must be ringing after that like 😭😭
I know right! And thank you!
I can’t stop. Crying over him quitting 0:30 😭😭
Oh this is an interesting take. I'm not usually not the biggest fan of these zombie apocalypse AUs and gore yet for some reason I've been fascinated with these infection AUs for MLP. I also like how you used show lore to make this one. Others I've seen have used Everfree Forrest or the Swamp Fever from the episode that introduced Mage Meadowbrook and those have been my favorites cause of using show lore
AJ's reminds me a bit of the Apple Sleep Experiment Grimdark story where she ends up not being able to sleep and breaking a leg at some point
i love this sm :O my fyp has been feeding me with all these mlp infection aus but this one is the most creative one i've seen so far!! i love your art :3
Awe thank you!!
This is so creative!! Using the cutiepox is awesome!!
ALSO RARITYS IS SO CREATIVE!! I’m glad you remembered her gem finding talent, it was only mentioned in like… two episodes
Apple sleep experiment type beat for AJ, lol
For rainbow dash, shed actually die pretty fast due to the gravity being forced onto her body making all her blood go into her back hooves and not be able to flow throughout her body. Also rd reminds me of that one pony.mov where she kills everyone from a sonic rainboom, aj reminds me of apple sleep experiment, i was afraid rarity was gonna go towards rarity's new patterns but i was surprised it didnt.
I've just recently discovered the disease stuff circling around with MLP, and this is honestly one of my favorite ones so far! I wish to see the other ponies, please! I'm also curious if you're cool with people making fan-versions of this disease you made?
I would love seeing your interpretation! OmG
@@octoinkz well I don't have an idea ATM but I'll tag ya if I ever do! ^~^
I can see why the village from Story of the Blanks fear cutie marks
I remember finding the game Story of the Blanks in the past & it was apparently before the Cutie Pox episode(at least from what TV Tropes had to imply), while they wrongfully hurt a filly over her getting her cutie mark this infection/disease would be a good explanation for why they're scared of a pony getting their cutie mark cause who knows what could happen & how messed up cutie mark related diseases can get
With Rarity, if you DID decide to make her infection based off her talent, you could have made it so like Rarity tried to make HERSELF the clothes by like tearing off her skin and then stitching fabric over where it was to make herself look like clothing and also have stitches all over her and maybe try to do it to others? almost like how people stitch together old toys or clothes with patches!
I love this AU so much! One small correction for Rainbow, though: when breaking the sound barrier, the person that is doing the sound-barrier breaking does not actually hear the sonic boom that goes off. This is part of why it's so dangerous to break the sound barrier: you literally cannot tell that you're doing it. I do agree with others saying that the heat from the constant flying and air resistance would destroy her, though. Great ideas so far! I can't wait to see more!
ayy, a fellow mari; love your art! your persona looks so cute, and I love how you do colors! :D
I didn't think seeing subtitles on a video would make me this happy, you're probably one of the only people I've seen do that :')
Awee thank you so much! And I love making my videos as accessible as possible!
I LOVE your designs and I also came up with another idea for Rarity. This one starts with heavier psychological effects than physical. She becomes even more of a perfectionist and doesn’t even eat or sleep because she’s spending all her time on the “perfect” design. If she finds a flaw in what she’s making, real or imagined, she’ll take the entire thing apart and try to remake it. She’s also constantly trying on her projects to make sure they’re perfect.
Because the effects aren’t as obvious (at first) as AJ’s Rainbow Dash’s and because she’s constantly wearing full outfits, at first others don’t realize she’s infected, potentially making her a super-spreader as customers still try to come by. But as time goes by, others finally realize she’s not eating, sleeping or even opening and closing the store. She’s obsessively taking apart everything around her and redesigning it to be perfect. Eventually she’s barely even in there and her creations only have a somewhat recognizable pattern because she’s just going through the motions now and processing very little of anything she does.
Sort of like a worse version of Inspiration Manifestation.
This is such an amazing idea for a MLP infection AU! I haven't seen one about Cutiepox yet! I love your designs! Keep up the amazing work! 😄❤️
"Now what's rainbow dashes power?being a terrible friend-"
LMFAOOO
This is so cool! Rarity reminded me of something! In G1 there were 'twinkle eyed' ponies who literally had gemstones instead of eyeballs!! They are lovely but so morbid
This is such an interesting concept, i was literally thinking about something like this the other day! XD
Amazing art, too! Kinda show style but still with your own touch, i love that!
I'd love to see the rest of the mane 6!
I had this exact idea in mind for an Au and was even making it. Mine was a cutie mark curse that creates specialized deaths for each characters special talent. I'm sad to know my idea isn't the original, and now I'm tempted to just scrap the whole project and make something else.
Awesome drawings, tho 🥲❤
Just because your idea is similar doesn't mean that you have to scrap it, that iteration of the AU is still unique to you!
Whatever you choose to end up doing with your storyline, I wish you good luck. 👍🏻
Please don't scrap it just because someone else had a similar idea, your au sounds really cool!
I honestly found that episode to be terrifying. Imagine no longer having control of your own body, unable to rest with no known cure as you're doomed to work your body to death.
Yes I know the episode didn't go that deep into it, but the concept is still very much there.
The infection aus have infected my current fixations 🤣
Jokes aside, I absolutely love this stuff. Most of my stuff is cute and round, but at heart, any and all horror/gore art is my favorite. So I love when they're combined!
Great stuff!
I love this! this is so horrific but so cool! I would love a part two at some point!
Thanks! And gotcha!
@@octoinkz keep up the good work! Your art inspires me a lot!
I’d say honestly that Rarity’s Talent is essentially finding the beauty in things, as she got her Cutie Mark when she found beautiful gemstones hidden inside an initially dull looking rock. So it could be neat if sort of like in the Inspiration Manifestation episode, she goes around to find people and locations and stuff to try and force them to look more beautiful perhaps
“A fast jet with no pilot”
That one F-35: 👀
This would make it so any pony who’s a blank flank or with their cutie mark taken away would cure them :0 lots of possibilities with this
MLP fanficts/infection AUs are crazy and I love it ♡
I really like what you did with Rainbow Dash here, it kinda reminds me of what a zombified Flash does in DCeased. I like to think her Rainbooms are carrying the virus through the air, spreading it much farther and much faster than normal
Holy crap why is the beginning of Apple jack’s description reminding me of “An Apple sleep experiment”
For twilight, she would be constantly casting difficult spells or even dangerous ones, or she uses alicorn magic till she dies or exhaustion or gets consumed by the crystals created from alicorn magic (all-a king sombra style).
Pinkie Pie is kinda weird though… Her talent is to help others be happy, so she would probably start by “trying to cheer everyone up” after this sickness starts to spread, until the others realize that she never brings a stop to the party even after days on end. Pinkie never sleeps, but she is eating and drinking, and other-wise acts normally, until tears start to fall from her eyes despite smiling and telling jokes for days-on-end, and eventually dies from lack of sleep after 2-3 weeks.
Fluttershy? Her talent is talking to animals, so It think that eventually she would just be unable to talk to any intelligent creatures that could already talk with ponies (dragons, changelings, yaks, etc) and could ONLY communicate with animals, and eventually dies in their care, alone.
Love this concept so much! Wonderful art too :D
Thank you!
I LOVE THIS ONE SO MUCH!!!!!!!!!!!
I think saw another Cutie Mark infection AU somewhere, and your version is so much more creative!!!
I love how its basically the infection turning their qualities into their flaws, like playing their one game against them!!
I like how someone else is also going into a more canon route about this! Im making my own right now and its about magic being lost in Equestria because of Equestria Girls's magic introduction!! So i love it when people make canon implemented in this infection stuff!!
Id so love you to do Pinkie too, i think she'd be so disturbing LMAO! :D
This is so creative! I love the idea of CWD and cutie marks combined. Nice work!
And i love the amount of detail and thought you put into makin these. Cant wait to see more! ❤
I also like the idea of rarity trying to use the gems to make her BODY the fashion piece
This is just what I've been looking for! I saw art of this disease and thought it was a cool concept but never found a story about it. The other day I found your channel and watched the scary worms story, now I found this :)
4:30 oh that’s right, being a terrible friend!
fr, i love Rainbow dash and i knew where you were going with this since i love the realism in stuff like this! when you brought up the blindness, damages, and even deaf Rainbow would be, i swear i was nodding like " yessss!" plus i know that i wouldnt even try saving her cause she would probably go right through me if i tried to help her.

This was amazing!! I love the idea of taking them straight from the show!!
also the cats on the side being like tone markers was SO CUTE
I love this so much. I would love to turn this into a book omg
4:38 BEING A TERRIBLE FRIEND 😂
my immediate thought upon finishing the video was "i wonder what kind of torture my OC would go through" but then i realize i never figured out their talent, just slapped a cutiemark on them and forgot about their existence for the rest of time LOL (the cutie mark is literally icicles on fire, because their name is Fireicy......... don't judge, i made them when i was like, 11 LOL)
oof I did the same with my oc
Hey its ok! I actually thought that the cutie mark is really cool! I even thought of some possible ideas, if that's ok lol
1: one thing I thought of, was that the cutie mark could represent a desire in them to do the impossible, or to defy what is known/said in general. A contrarian, or a, "dare devil," to be presise. If the cutie mark were to be infected, perhaps they will be forced to do increasingly reckless tasks, refusing to do what literally anyone/anything says, causing immense chaos.
2: One other thing that the cutie mark could possibly represent, is the ability to bring opposing sides together, a peacemaker of opposite sides, like fire, and ice! I'm not sure what would happen to the cutie mark in this version, but the concept is cool.
3: CliMaTE ChANgE CuTiEMARK-
4: OK, one more, this one is serious, I promise! What if your ocs talent, is to warm ponies cold hearts..?
(See what I did there? :D)
They might be very compassionate, caring, and persistent, even with those who are cold-hearted, warming up their hearts in the process.
If this was cursed, perhaps they would continually help others, to the point of completely ignoring their own needs. Slowly they would deteriorate and fall apart, wishing for a break they could never get...(unless of course there cured. ^^)
I hope this helps, and I wish you a good day today. 😁

Thanks!
I wonder how you’d do Twilight, since she’s one of the many characters who’s Talent is just sort of generally being good at learning magic. Would she just be in an endless loop of researching new spells she doesn’t know and randomly practicing those spells without warning?
And like what about Fluttershy? Her Talent is her ability to take care of and speak to animals, so would she be forcing her care onto others? Like obsessively doing every little thing even if the animal doesn’t want anything to do with her?
OMG APPLEJACKS STORY FOR THIS SOUNDS LIKE THE APPLE SLEEP EXPERIMENT
4:15 probably one of the most relatable things ever for anyone who draws/writes is just apologizing to characters for the great yet also intensive plots you put them through
Good job recomending the younger viewers a different video intead of just pushing them away, my little sister was going to watch this and she instead watched the video u recomended, after watching this im terrified 😭😨
Fluttershy’s talent is talking to animals so I’m imagining her talking to animals non stop until her vocal cords wear down to nothing
This is awesome!! I love all the designs and I've been waiting for someone to make an au based on wasting disease. It's such a scary disease. It's like rabies in the sense that it controls the person and kills them slowly.
Ok but while you were doing rarity, I just thought if somepony found her and tried to take her gemstones like she would be screaming at them. Like I could hear her in my mind just yelling "NO!!!! GIVE IT BAAAACK!!!!!!" As if it was the only thing keeping her alive.
Rarity replacing her eyes with gems is reminiscent of G1 and the Twinkle Eyed Ponies.
I almost used the image at 0:01 for a school project
The shade thrown at RD omg 😂😂 love this idea !!
I really like this and how you connected it to the lore of the show. Makes me think about it more and that there are more creative possibilities.
This is a very creative idea, good job :D
BANGER VID OMG I HAVE NO IDEA ABOUT ANYTHING ABOUT MLP BUT WOOOOO ART
Yesssss, I rewatched the Cutie pox episode while also having gotten into watching the infection AU stuff, and I had the inevitable thought: *”Someone is gonna make an infection AU with the Cutie Pox idea, and I’ll be ALL there for it!!!”*
I am young and I love mlp infection AUs 😭
3:33 I immediately said Apple Sleep Experiment
6:44 about the eyes do you know anything about the first gen perchance? I ask bc that era had twinkle eye ponies, which were ponies with fake gems 4 eyes.
For those curious as to why i ask: these ponies actually have a eu exclusive comic explaining their origins. If you ever hear older fans talk about gen1 applejack having a kill count, this comic is y - these ponies went blind after being forced to dig up gems for an evil wizard. When he captures applejack she kicks him into a chasm in the cave which shatters his throne made of the gems he was collecting. The ponies take these gems and the magic within them gave them the ability to see again. So story wise, that could connect to ur au!
I can imagine that in the early stages of Rainbow Dash being infected she would just randomly like- disappear lol. Like, she would just be chilling and then all the sudden her cutie mark would make her fly half way across the world.
So a couple of months ago i decided to make an au based on the episode 28 pranks later, then this au trend got popular and i think its a sign i should continue on my au lol. Gave me a bunch of ideas.
I love you use cwd as inspiration/ref, something you could also include, which happens with cwd, is the disease could last years after the infected has passed. Contaminated soil and ground water would be a huge threat. Fun fact: CWD can only be destroyed quicker... With fire... Not just any small flame, we are talking HOT. CWD can also be transmitted through water that was drank by the infected host as well.
Oh ya! Thanks for the info!!
Yours and the changeling au r my favs because its just expanding on a already canon ideas
I would love to see more of this! It's so interesting!!!
I always love these things when they are related to cutiemarks (loss of magic which dulls and or fades your cutiemark away completely, etc etc etc)
This is so cool! I know nothing about this fandom, but I love researching infections and stuff, especially CWD, it’s so fascinating in such a terrifying way 😅
Dang nice talent!
I think about some ponies with not actually have a meaning on the cutie mark, like Derpye, she would get more "derpye" having something like dementia? Or she would act normal?
The applejack one reminds me of the applejack sleep experiment one
For rarity you could have made it where she try’s to put gems on every thing including herself so she could be carving them into her skin
i love the art and the LORRRRRRRRRRRRRRREEEEEEEEEE!!!!
"Being a terrible friend" LMAO (I sorta agree tho)
Im honestly 9yrs old but i watch alot of infections in my littel ponys like the black tree infection
this is so cool good job
Thanks!
I made sm like this the cutie mark like goes to the eyes and goes in to the heart and slowly kills you and then your a zombie pony and you infects others
