Having vaguely heard of the theory in question before watching this video, the twist didn't come as THAT much of a surprise to me but I still got chills when I heard Luna's hoof steps at the end. That and the ending spell sound effect were very nice touches. I really enjoyed listening to this, Luna is one of those unique characters in the sense that I love her as a hero AND as a villain. That's part of why she's my favorite character and, given the circumstances, Chrysalis being her in disguise isn't that far-fetched. You've just earned yourself a new subscriber.
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world she didn't exist. Just want to say I'm sorry I've been listening to your readings this last month because I've been busy with stuff and some bad things in real life have been taking a toll on me. Plus, some of those pairings in those readings I really didn't like, but I just ignored them instead of just flagging it because we don't a repeat of that. Anyway, great job on this reading! I really enjoyed it.
Tommy Oliver/Antony C's theory had me sitting there with a big ol dopey grin on my face for minutes after the video ended. This is a great follow up to that.
Loved that story. I will always hold my opinion of Luna as my best princess but I would be curious as to what she was doing during the changling invasion. The chill in my spine and my eyes widen at the last few minutes. Tommy Oliver would say use the "the greatest trick the devil ever pulled was convincing the world he didn't exist."
I always wondered why Luna was never at the wedding you would think since it’s such a big event she would be there and we never got a reason why she wasn’t there
This was a story I wished had a sequel or an epilogue (even if it would be fanmade like someone did with "The Cough") where a search for an MIA Twilight is taking place
Late to the party, but I really enjoyed this reading and the story. I really loved Antony and Tommy's theory at the end of their Canterlot Wedding review, and I've always thought it'd be interesting to explore. (Sure, it wouldn't work given what's happened since then, but still, it's a cool theory.) It's a shame this story never got a sequel. I would've loved to know what happens next, but it looks like the author has retired from MLP fanfics. Ah well, guess that's the way the cookie crumbles.
but I like this type of dark story better than other ones. I felt like I was reading a painstakingly crafted suspense novel...or listening to its audiobook, rather, which was really nice.
Hmm, I almost forgot about AntonyC's theory that Queen Chrysalis is Princess Luna. BTW, I am now your 40,367th subscriber, and I'm also a voice actor. It'd be interesting if I got to voice act in one of these readings.
Scribbler the vibe this fic is a psychological horror it's not always the killer or monster knowing it can kill you that scares you it's not knowing where they are and Twilight just learned about the secret that was kept they say speak of the devil and the devil shall appear in this case Luna I agree this is quite believable wonderful job as always
People like to create elaborate explanations for things that mostly happened, or didn't happen, for the sake of plot convenience. The real reason for Luna's absence in the Changeling assault is fairly simple: Luna was inconvenient for the story, so she was left out. In the season finale, Chrysalis needs to be overcome by a group of characters that are not super duper powerful, for the sake of creating an exciting story. Chrysalis can believably take down one horse goddess princess, which is why she Worfed Celestia, but she can't take down two, if they're working together. Of course, even if Chrysalis could have defeated both of them at once, depicting this would have been more complicated than depicting Chrysalis defeating Celestia, without adding much to the main plotline. Alternatively, if Celestia and Luna both fought Chrysalis separately, then that would be redundant, because Chrysalis has already demonstrated that she is more powerful than either sister by taking down one of them. It's just much easier to leave Luna out of the story.
My original reply was you must be fun at parties. I feel like you're missing the point of stories it's too kind of take something that could be and weave it and twist it. This comment just comes off as kind of rude and kind of mean picking up people who have big ideas or huge head cannons and like to write to pass the time.
@@Topdoggie7 I don't have any issues with creating personal head canons or coming up with ideas from source material. I suppose that my comment is more relevant to fan theories that are based on minor details. If someone created a theory, which they took absolutely seriously, in which Luna was Chrysalis due to how she was not involved in defending Canterlot, then I would have a point. That would be similar to the old fan theories about "Naruto" in which Pain of the Akatsuki is Naruto's father, purely based on how Pain looked similar to Naruto. For the loose fan theory situation, the best explanation is often the "meta" explanation: remember that this is a work of fiction, and there might be IRL reasons for something in the work of fiction. It's possible that I wasn't directly referring to the story. I may have been referring to loose theorizing in general, particularly when people take it too seriously. I can't recall if I assumed that the author was taking the idea seriously. It's been nearly a year since I made the comment.
I'm scare, at the end I grab my tennis racket and was ready to run away from my door, but than I remember it's 9pm. Night time. Until I heard your sweet voice at the end I had calm the buck down. Wow, this person wrote a fantastic story and you guys read it so greatly. I will still love Luna in all her darkness, but I'm still scare out of my mind.
The last few minutes part of the video would have been more my level of speaking when I'm nervous. ^^ But anyways; did you consider to write another fic on your own in order to dub it? I would be very interested in such one(s). But if you don't have the time for this kind of work (I could feel what you were talking about when you explained why you got into delays and stuff hint "Tooo much work!!" ^^) it is definitely okay with me.
OMG Scribbler .To me in my opinion, this felt like an alternative media conspiracy theory/meets american governments like FBI,CIA,DEA,ATF,NSA meets double agent/ former NSA agent Edward Snowden/meets Sherlock Holmes, meets militarizes of the world meets rogue pony agent in the My little pony friendship is magic ,fan fim fiction universe all mashed into one spectacular amazingly well crafted written and epically thought out of fan fic story-plot all at the exact same time .I loved the story just as much as you did sweetheart!

Man this theory wouldn't even exist if Hasbro had just given Luna more screen time...
And when the fanfict ended, the ending picture shown on the screen, Luna was just sitting there, like "Wow, this is actually a pretty good idea"

I love how this is a story about how luna tricked them but luna is in the last pic listening to the story and not at all mad about it
Haha, yes
Loved that story, that was fantastic. intense and dark and beautifully brought to life. Also the jumbled sign off was adorable :P
The greatest trick the devil ever pulled, was convincing the world she didn't exist.

I liked that let's play of Slenderman you did with applejack and rarity. It was quite refreshing.

One of my favorite theories ever
"Each other be lovely to."
That's pretty funny ... I think I'm gonna make some fanart.
I always wondered why Luna was never at the wedding you would think since it’s such a big event she would be there and we never got a reason why she wasn’t there
One of the best horror stories of the fandom. Great choice, and great work.

Soundslikeponies?! I know that guy! He wrote Let's Find You a Date! One of my favorite MLP fanfics ever!

Anyone else remember this from AntonyC?

If you send me a voice reel, I'll see what we can do. ^_^
***** btw,im also a voice actor but how do u send a voice reel?
jenin heras If you have a Twitter account you can send her a tweet with the voice reel link in it, or put it on her discussion page.
There was a theory about that!? How did I not heard of it!? XD
Too bad it's disproven nowadays.😔
This is a very good fic! Wish there was a second part!
Me at 19:46
: Oh god. Some instance shit is about to go down.
Scribbler the vibe this fic is a psychological horror it's not always the killer or monster knowing it can kill you that scares you it's not knowing where they are and Twilight just learned about the secret that was kept they say speak of the devil and the devil shall appear in this case Luna I agree this is quite believable wonderful job as always
Great story! I wish that it went on longer!
Sounds like a great episode. And this could ndefenitaly bhave. A sequel :)
It's not
20:05 now THAT is a question that i want to know
wow. Eerie as this is, i must agree that it sounds so plausible. Not preferred, but plausible.
This definitely has to be based on Tommy Oliver/Antony C.'s theory. and it was soooo intriguing
You always know the best fanfics to read
loved the fic and everyone's voice acting.

The thing about the devil is that the Bible states that he can disguise himself as an angel of life which really fits well with the story

HAHAHAHAHA!!!! Well Im all for it....Luna would make an awesome Queen....LOLZ!!
Strong am I with the force, but not that strong. Great reading, dark fics are such fun are they not?
SPOILER!!!!!
I dont know, twilight is very powerful, I bet she can take Luna. At least escape from her.
Once again, Luna is the best pony.
Thank gosh its recommended to me I actually loved it alot
it was tommy oliver who came up with the theory but it was Antony's video
Fantastic as always really makes you think
another amazing 📚reading please keep going with your great 👍work
OMG THAT WAS AWESOME!!!

"The rest I plan to hide in the archives" and an sudden end to the entry... So not in there then?
That was gorgeous
Only after this finished I realized the meaning of the title. God damn.
Well there was going to be a fic with the devil sooner or later. It's good. And for anyone who doesn't like it, it's better than "One More Day"
I liked this fanfic story very much
Okay this just put my trust in Luna under negative 24
I wanna see more anti-bullying fics! =D
Good job
That end Blurb deserves a dawwwwww
Noooooo I don't want it to end
If Princess Luna was one of the real changlings and the only one left, then what IS her true form exactly???
Some day changelings -in lore not in MLP- have no true form.
