How this could’ve been avoided: -Apple jack organized a night harvest so people could help without getting heatstroke, or just offer a lot of water -Apple jack could’ve asked twilight for some money (she’s a Princess, she has to be rich) -Apple jack decides to cook blue meth with pony Walter white and sell them across equestria while avoiding the pony DEA

I had a look myself and there is some elements of the Russian Sleep Experiment poured into this. Applejack goes crazy the same way the victims did when they had lack of sleep. But it also has its own original ideas too making it almost its own thing as well, like when Applejack broke her legs. Overall this is a pretty good MLP grim dark story. Normally, I don’t listen to grim dark stories, but this one was actually pretty interesting and kept me hooked from beginning to end. Kudo’s to the writer who wrote this
_"I'm the thing you fear. The wild beast that hides within us all, but is kept back by sleeping. I will always be in the back of your mind, I will forever be waiting for the right time. The time when you finally snap and loose all control of self."_
i heard someone had a headcannon that the twilight that visited aj at the end of the fic was chrysalis the whole time. the fic specifically mentions twilight's headless corpse earlier, so twilight already got her karma for giving aj the potion by being murdered by her. twi being a changeling also explains how jarringly out-of-character she is in the ending because that literally wasn't twilight.
@@gren8te319 I like to think that Applejack's rampage was actually largely her hallucinating the people she blamed for causing her insanity. For instance it says Filthy Rich was already dead when she killed one of the early on-screen victims, but at the same time you could very easily imagine this referred to either that victim already being dead or to the other victims she had at that point. It is hard to believe after all, that after she had already been detained for wanting to hurt him that Rich would return to where she lives. Though of course, whatever the author says would override this. What I'm saying is, in this story it could very easily be assumed she had just thought she killed Twilight when in reality it was a fully innocent pony that was actually dead before her.
Moral of the story: Apple jack you should've taken coffee instead to stay awake How are people still replying it’s been years 💀 PeoPle plEase I dOnt eVen rEmembEr cOmmenTing thIs Edit: HELPPP WHY ARE YOU GUYS STILL COMMENTING 😭😭😭 6 YEARS IS WILD
I love this story. I haven’t watched it in a long time and coming back, I realized why I like it so much. Nobody is truly at fault here. Nobody had intentions to hurt anyone, but in the end, Twi’s betrayal of AppleJack makes her the true villain of the story
Well, they're the princesses. Remember from the Hearth's Warming episode that the unicorns did it before they found Equestria? And rain is the pegasi's job.
I like how this story is only loosely inspired by "The Russian Sleep Experiment," what with a total lack of sleep freeing some form of latent madness that supposedly lies within everyone. IMO, the effects of the madness are better demonstrated, in this story. At first, it seems as though Applejack is having a fairly straightforward break from reality that becomes more extreme as her sleep deprivation continues. That, and the focus of the story is on the consequences of the madness, instead of a "we are the madness that you kill with sleep" twist ending.
@@troin3925 And being its own thing too which other Creepypasta Stories should be made into an MLP version of it There's Laughing Jack with Button and I got some Twilight the Killer (Classic Jeff version I like that one) Bleeding Armor (Creepypasta Version of Shining Armor and MLP version of Homicidal Liu) Spike the Killer (Jane Arkensaw aka Jane the Killer version of Spike) Laughing Pinkie Pie (Pinkie Pie version of LJ)
This. Needs. A sequel. Although AppleJack resorted to using dangerous substances in the face of potentially losing her and her family's livelihood to an individual she despised, I find it very hard to place guilt on her. If one's well being and future, and the well being of their loved ones, were abruptly put under intense pressure by some event out of their control, it isn't a surprise that they would justify going, you could say, "the extra mile" to try what they may to help. AppleJack, from what I can deduce, is a being willing of self sacrifice and heroism. She is not swayed by the notion of bringing harm to herself to help preserve others. And in this case in particular, the fact that she took the potion just tells me the lengths she trusts Twilight's mastery in magical practices. I will say, AppleJack's refraining from seeking help when the initial effects of the potion started becoming apparent was a bit odd, but it is easily explained by the fact that it was the potion meddling with her cognitive state. She wasn't in her right mind. And then we get this ending. Twilight separates all involvement with the horror that occurred by, essentially, gutting AppleJack's utility and innocence from her, proclaiming that she herself had pushed herself into the madness that consumed her and that the fact she was an element would not save her since there was another that could fill that role. It's honestly disturbing to witness this. And that is why, there. should be. a sequel. This leaves on a such a sour note that it makes the viewer desire something to wash that away and bring levity to the tale. But then again, most horror refuses to do so, instead leaving their stories with bitter ends to make themselves more striking and, perhaps, memorable. Either way, great story.
Why would there be a sequel? Applejack is in prison for life. Twilight isnt going to come and see her. The other mane 6 will probably be told she died or another lie since twilight is so ready to lie and place all blame off of herself.
@@bluedragon8762 You do have a point, yes; a realistic sequel to this probably wouldn't be as exciting. Still, just goes to show how unjust the ending is conveyed.
@@Twinklethefox9022The only difference between the other ones would be his pleas, because no matter what any of them said, she only heard her own insanity. But it would have felt slightly more fulfilling, hearing his fear.
the story is already terrifying and extremely well written but the VOICE ACTING oh my god. i had full body chills when she was killing lyra and when she gave her monologue to rainbow, this is insane and it’s a shame this is one of the most underrated mlp creepypastas because it’s psychologically one of the most messed up
Dear lord that was chilling to the core, Applejack going insane is far, far scarier than Cupcakes or Rainbow Factory, it feels more true to her character too, her devotion to her family costing her everything
Looking back at this story, I made a realization...Twilight could have just quickly gathered up all the apples with magic and then this never would have happened... Then again we never would have gotten this story if that did happen.
It's sadly poetic how in the beginning, Applejack mistakenly assumed that she might have kicked her older brother to death, when in actuality, she just kicked a tree a little too hard and her brother was safe at the hospital. In the ending, Applejack really did kicked her older sister to death, and is left questioning whether she is still alive. Her sleep deprived mind made up a nightmare of paranoia, and now she is left to experience it for the rest of her life, long after the effects of the potion wore off.
24:10 The combination of the sound of Filthy Rich laughing, Applejack groaning, the narrator speaking, and the tree cracking all at the same time makes this sound like a YTP 😂
crome force Are u dumb m8, so you’re saying is that if someone “old” committed a crime and needed to go to jail but you’d just let em go cuz their “old”?! What about. Hitler?
It's Twilight. She literally could have picked of all the apples of the tree and none of this would have happened. Then she lets Applejack rot in jail just because she wanted to get off scot free.
I remembered this story to be well written and the performance to be great. I am glad to come back to it and find that I was wrong. It is even better than I remembered. When AJ's insanity really starts to kick in on the hospital bed, I was in awe. Excellently done.
"It's not like we haven't ran into these types of problems before!" ...why is it when I hear this, I get the feeling she's referencing almost EVERY MLP Creepypasta? Like, seriously! Listen to that part over and over and TRY to convince me it's something else.
I think this is everyponys fault: Granny Smith for making the deal, Applejack by taking this measures and Twilight for not taking the blame for the potion. Yeah you can say Granny thinks there are no more options and Twilight advise AJ about the effects. But as for Twilight she have to act like a princess and not just let AJ without an answer about her sister and just let her like that until de day AJ dies. Twi must be joking. AJ is the element of honesty and no one can't take her place just like that. That's not how the elements of harmony works and even less how friendship works. Twilight is not worth for the element of Magic. Not anymore. As for the VA's good job. I really love it. All work very professional in my opinion.
Finn [Redacted] what i think they meant is how twilight never took the fault in the end of the story, and instead of helping applejack (albeit not many ways you can do that) she lied to applejack, locked her away, and abandoned her. Yes, she took the guilt at first, but once her own image was at stake, she pinned it onto applejack.
Finn [Redacted] I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m in no way saying Applejack wasn’t at fault, the only thing that I think puts a thorn in my side is that Twilight lied to applejack in the end, expecting her to believe it. I personally do believe majority are in the wrong, but to me Twilight and Applejack are a gray area of wrongdoing.
The way Twilight handled the situation at the end is probably the darkest part of this story. It's easy to criticize her for her decision, but she would have to be quite the big person to take the fall with Applejack. It's cowardly yes, but the show has (obviously) never really put Twilight in a position like that. It's interesting to speculate how a character might actually react.
@@Kevin-tx8et I feel is a situation of unknowing disfortune. It starts out as a freind trying to help the other and then it starts to have shit it the fan at how fast it escalated! Twilight created the potion in a way to help Applejack, and AJ wants to help her family and save them from debt. Two innocent actions ended up in carnage!
I havent been into mlp in years and on a mlp creepypasta rabbithole out of pure boredome, but this story stands out as something truley magnificent in terms of writing. If you replaced the ponies with humans, it would be a really good horror novel and possible movie. This story sounds like a horror from the 80s or 90s that is considered a cult classic. I agree with many of the comments here that there should be a second part, but I think it should focus on Twilight and the guilt she lives with. It could be a psychological horror in its own as the guilt starts eating at her when memories from the past, before the potion, surround her. Yet she is too afraid to admit she's in the wrong because she was Celestia's star student, and she worked way to hard to become a princess to let it all fade from an honest mistake. She keeps herself sane by fully blaming Applejack because she asked for the potion, and this causes trauma for Twilight as she now begins to cope by pushing to blame onto others, her own sanity slips as the pressure of being a princess becomes too much. She goes down a similar path of Applejack's as she refuses to stop working, trying to hide her mental degradation. It could be similar to that of how Twilight went crazy in that one episode, desperate to help but a refusal to be in the wrong. One day her "help" causes a death. She didnt listen to the pony she was helping and did what she thought was right, ending their life. She freaks out, hides the body somewhere with her magic or something, and so on. Just an idea but it could be very interesting if done right.
Starts watching: well this doesn’t seem so bad? Applejack vomits: well this took a turn? Applejack hallucinates: uuuuuh? Lyra sees bonbons remains: Wtf TMI Applejack kills Lyra: ok I’m done
@@hannahguitard8501 You shouldn't be on TH-cam if you're not old enough, you have to be 13 or up. And just so you know, this story isn't real, so you have nothing to worry about.
I like how you can hear the show’s Applejack and the fanfic’s Applejack. I think it’s so unsettling but verrrry fitting. It gives you that sense of “Applejack doesn’t know what’s going on and that she isn’t being told the truth.”
[stands up and claps] You guys deserve an award for that acting. Not only do you guys sound like the chars, but your acting abilities are spectacular to boot. Great job, and thank you for creating this narration :D
This hit hard, especially the ending and ending music, i know i’m late to this but its genuinely a masterpiece, it made me think a different way about Twilight.
This is absolutely the most well made "grim-dark" MLP fanfic reading I've ever heard. On its own, the story is one of the best of the genre, but the amazing voice performances were where it *really* shined. In addition to that, the care and effort put into this production with the sound effects, the music, and the artworks really help to highlight the whole thing, giving it that extra push to transition from really good into great. You're going to have a hell of a time topping this for next Halloween. You set the bar so high, *everyone* is going to have a hell of a time.
I love how applejack is always basically described as a boring pony that dosent make mistakes,And the only time she gets a creepypasta its based on real life events and it’s extremely gruesome and this is literally like the only creepypasta she has other then apple eyes💀
I can't believe Twilight decided to lie to Applejack when she got the cure at the end. What happened to feeling guilty when you gave her the potion? Now there's no potion. If there was really no potion, Applejack would of just passed out. I'm not mad, just surprised and shocked. I guess that's what makes a good story.
This is easily one of the best grim darks I’ve seen. The writing is extraordinarily detailed, and the voice acting is perfect. I can’t get over how well you presented this chilling psychological horror story, a,omg with outstanding artwork and imagination. You should get some kind of award for this pure masterpiece! :D
Wait Twilight isn't to blame Applejack told twilight she WANTED to do it( drink the potion) Twilight warned her before she drank it Edit: I leave for 3 years and return to find there's now a whole moral discussion in the comment section what the heck did my younger self summon
@@T_E_G If it was, then the writer did a poor job describing that it was. It was described in an amount of detail as if that IS what happened. It would be dumb to play it off like "lol just a dreammmm"
I like how the potion in this story works is that it DOES give you more energy + sharpens your focus, yes… *But it doesn’t replace sleep entirely.* While Applejack FELT and WAS more conscious, focused, energetic and faster, what she wasn’t was *rested.* Her brain never got a break, which is what sleep helps provide among many other benefits, like releasing hormones, getting rid of waste, bodily repair, etc. Remember also that Twilight was using it in a presumably limited quantity to overcome tiredness for *reading assignments.* Applejack drank an entire bottle or flask and proceeded to carry out *INTENSE MANUAL LABOR.* One is something you can kinda put off sleeping after accomplishing, the other is something your body screams at you to sleep after doing. This is also why AppleJack began to hallucinate: Hallucinations are part of the possible side effects incurred from a lack of sleep. AJ was effectively forcing her body to go far beyond its limits and neglecting a literal essential for survival due to an OVERDOSE. In other words, AJ was *ABSOLUTELY* running herself ragged, but *couldn’t feel it…* until it was far, far too late.
Apple jack shouldn't have asked for the potion. But Twilight shouldn't have forgotten that this happened because she gave that dangerous potion to Apple Jack when she knew it wasn't safe.Though I can't put all the murderers that Apple Jack did on Twilight.
So apparently (in this tale) Twilight will frame others and blame them for the sake of her reputation? Wow, this creepypasta REALLY makes me get: "Don't trust anyone, but yourself" vibes. Wow, such betrayal coming from "the princess of friendship". If you ask me, it's quite ironic. Edit: Also, damn. You guys REALLY liked this comment. Thanks! 😅
This was better than I thought. I assumed it would be a cheap copy of the Russian sleep experiment, but it added it's own elements(no pun intended) to it and was way more uniqe that I had imagined it would be.
everyones on board with her. when they were going to visit "its not your fault" was said. im kinda very stoned so i dont remember who but i think it was fluttershy to be exact. its safe to assume they still hold that position.
This is officially my favorite reading of the year. The images (both startling and non-startling), the sound effects, the acting, EVERYTHING was on point and amazing! I have an issue sleeping to where I will stay up for 1-3 days at a time and I can tell you, while it's nothing compared to this, it is pretty.....terrifying, I suppose would be a good word to use. So I can definitely relate to this story, especially when I was younger and would stay up for almost 1 week/mo. Basically, this story is down right amazing and incredible. You have really outdone yourself Losty, and I hope that one day, I will be lucky enough to be a part of your incredible fic readings. Keep up the incredible work!
This story was amazing and it also shows how dangerous different kinds of substances can be in real life Lack of sleep is also highly dangerous and I love how it could all be portrayed in this story ! Truly an outstanding job and performance from everyone working on this 🎉👏
Perhaps one of the best AppleJack grimdarks I've read/heard. Kudos to everyone who had a part in the voice acting and writing! The scene in the hospital, with all the voices, really got to me. Excellent use of editing and voice work!
Side effects of using twilight's potion: vomiting, ability to talk very fast, anger, rage, nausea, hallucinations and finally insanity. Edit: that potion is what I'm guessing is like Red Bull or Monster energy drinks. Then the end of it all she doesn't know that she killed her friends, neighbors and even her own sister in her mental haze. That took a while to sink in or for it to click.
I never read this fanfic as a kid, so i'm coming back and watching everything I missed. I still love MLP creepypastas so much, and this story holds up so well! love it!
I still come back to this time after time when citing my fave grimdark story's, its just to damn good, and the way lost approached this production wise makes it all the better listen. such a masterpiece, and one id recommend anyone to read/listen to if there into horror
Applejack is a poor soul who got lost in her hatred. Also, with all of the anti smoking ads on my phone, I think it's safe to assume that my phone thinks that I'm a smoker. I'm not!
In the hospital with applejack the two narrators were perfect gives you a clear window of some pony shifting ... slowly in to the inescapable void of madness with just a hint of insanity

That, and the focus of the story is on the consequences of the madness, instead of a "we are the madness that you kill with sleep" twist ending.
I can tell from the name of this grim story
@@fangirl3323I think their point was that it was _loosely_ based on the creepypasta rather than a complete copy.

@@katelynthewhitewerewolf6376 What?
@@troin3925
I was doing my own ideas for Creepypasta MLP inspired idea stories for the characters
I like how applejack has like no stories about her, it’s so nice to have one especially so well written
This. Needs. A sequel.
Although AppleJack resorted to using dangerous substances in the face of potentially losing her and her family's livelihood to an individual she despised, I find it very hard to place guilt on her. If one's well being and future, and the well being of their loved ones, were abruptly put under intense pressure by some event out of their control, it isn't a surprise that they would justify going, you could say, "the extra mile" to try what they may to help. AppleJack, from what I can deduce, is a being willing of self sacrifice and heroism. She is not swayed by the notion of bringing harm to herself to help preserve others. And in this case in particular, the fact that she took the potion just tells me the lengths she trusts Twilight's mastery in magical practices. I will say, AppleJack's refraining from seeking help when the initial effects of the potion started becoming apparent was a bit odd, but it is easily explained by the fact that it was the potion meddling with her cognitive state. She wasn't in her right mind.
And then we get this ending. Twilight separates all involvement with the horror that occurred by, essentially, gutting AppleJack's utility and innocence from her, proclaiming that she herself had pushed herself into the madness that consumed her and that the fact she was an element would not save her since there was another that could fill that role.
It's honestly disturbing to witness this.
And that is why, there. should be. a sequel.
This leaves on a such a sour note that it makes the viewer desire something to wash that away and bring levity to the tale.
But then again, most horror refuses to do so, instead leaving their stories with bitter ends to make themselves more striking and, perhaps, memorable.
Either way, great story.
Why would there be a sequel? Applejack is in prison for life. Twilight isnt going to come and see her. The other mane 6 will probably be told she died or another lie since twilight is so ready to lie and place all blame off of herself.

Dear lord that was chilling to the core, Applejack going insane is far, far scarier than Cupcakes or Rainbow Factory, it feels more true to her character too, her devotion to her family costing her everything
I still say that Rainbow Factory is way scarier than this, but other than that I agree.
This one and Rocket to insanity are my favorite
Rf has to be the scariest of all of them
@@ghostlytavern129 Rocket to insanity in my opinion took waaaaaaay too long to remain interesting. Even with everything dubbed and edited!
You’re telling me, I nearly couldn’t fathom those images when Lyra confronted her
Looking back at this story, I made a realization...Twilight could have just quickly gathered up all the apples with magic and then this never would have happened...
Then again we never would have gotten this story if that did happen.
no, the zap apple episode covered that.

It's sadly poetic how in the beginning, Applejack mistakenly assumed that she might have kicked her older brother to death, when in actuality, she just kicked a tree a little too hard and her brother was safe at the hospital.
In the ending, Applejack really did kicked her older sister to death, and is left questioning whether she is still alive.
Her sleep deprived mind made up a nightmare of paranoia, and now she is left to experience it for the rest of her life, long after the effects of the potion wore off.

24:10 The combination of the sound of Filthy Rich laughing, Applejack groaning, the narrator speaking, and the tree cracking all at the same time makes this sound like a YTP 😂
Wait.. why didn't AJ just ask twilight to use her magic to pluck all the apples off the trees like she did in applebuck season?
Lalalover 4ever Applejack probably didn't think about that.
Because then there wouldn't have been a grimdark!

or twilight could have just talked to filthy rich because she's the princess and she had that kind of power over him.
Agreed, ChillyWereWolf!
Am I the only one that thinks granny Smith is the most to blame?

Would make sense since she made the deal with Filthy Rich. She should've atleast helped with the zap apples and taking care of AJ

NO!! GO. TO. NANDOS!!!
hello jeff the killer
Jeff the killer
Did you just-
I think this is everyponys fault:
Granny Smith for making the deal,
Applejack by taking this measures
and Twilight for not taking the blame for the potion.
Yeah you can say Granny thinks there are no more options and Twilight advise AJ about the effects.
But as for Twilight she have to act like a princess and not just let AJ without an answer about her sister and just let her like that until de day AJ dies.
Twi must be joking.
AJ is the element of honesty and no one can't take her place just like that.
That's not how the elements of harmony works and even less how friendship works.
Twilight is not worth for the element of Magic.
Not anymore.
As for the VA's good job. I really love it.
All work very professional in my opinion.
Besides, how many times have Applejack helped Twilight?
BRUH TWILIGHT BLAMED HERSELF FOR THE GODDAMN POTION!!!!
@Arielle Stephens Calm down? I'm calm, this is just my conclusion to the story xD
Finn [Redacted] what i think they meant is how twilight never took the fault in the end of the story, and instead of helping applejack (albeit not many ways you can do that) she lied to applejack, locked her away, and abandoned her. Yes, she took the guilt at first, but once her own image was at stake, she pinned it onto applejack.
Finn [Redacted] I understand where you’re coming from, and I’m in no way saying Applejack wasn’t at fault, the only thing that I think puts a thorn in my side is that Twilight lied to applejack in the end, expecting her to believe it. I personally do believe majority are in the wrong, but to me Twilight and Applejack are a gray area of wrongdoing.

The way Twilight handled the situation at the end is probably the darkest part of this story.
It's easy to criticize her for her decision, but she would have to be quite the big person to take the fall with Applejack. It's cowardly yes, but the show has (obviously) never really put Twilight in a position like that.
It's interesting to speculate how a character might actually react.
I don’t think it was the darkest part but very much mad about but again Twilight did tell AJ that she has not master it so IDK the real blame here
@@Kevin-tx8et
I feel is a situation of unknowing disfortune. It starts out as a freind trying to help the other and then it starts to have shit it the fan at how fast it escalated! Twilight created the potion in a way to help Applejack, and AJ wants to help her family and save them from debt. Two innocent actions ended up in carnage!
I havent been into mlp in years and on a mlp creepypasta rabbithole out of pure boredome, but this story stands out as something truley magnificent in terms of writing. If you replaced the ponies with humans, it would be a really good horror novel and possible movie. This story sounds like a horror from the 80s or 90s that is considered a cult classic. I agree with many of the comments here that there should be a second part, but I think it should focus on Twilight and the guilt she lives with. It could be a psychological horror in its own as the guilt starts eating at her when memories from the past, before the potion, surround her. Yet she is too afraid to admit she's in the wrong because she was Celestia's star student, and she worked way to hard to become a princess to let it all fade from an honest mistake. She keeps herself sane by fully blaming Applejack because she asked for the potion, and this causes trauma for Twilight as she now begins to cope by pushing to blame onto others, her own sanity slips as the pressure of being a princess becomes too much. She goes down a similar path of Applejack's as she refuses to stop working, trying to hide her mental degradation. It could be similar to that of how Twilight went crazy in that one episode, desperate to help but a refusal to be in the wrong. One day her "help" causes a death. She didnt listen to the pony she was helping and did what she thought was right, ending their life. She freaks out, hides the body somewhere with her magic or something, and so on. Just an idea but it could be very interesting if done right.

@@novamaniac its both of their faults tbh
@@novamaniac what if it was just her hallucinations?
@@T_E_G If it was, then the writer did a poor job describing that it was. It was described in an amount of detail as if that IS what happened. It would be dumb to play it off like "lol just a dreammmm"
Still doesn't excuse how she covered up her mistake.
I like how the potion in this story works is that it DOES give you more energy + sharpens your focus, yes… *But it doesn’t replace sleep entirely.* While Applejack FELT and WAS more conscious, focused, energetic and faster, what she wasn’t was *rested.* Her brain never got a break, which is what sleep helps provide among many other benefits, like releasing hormones, getting rid of waste, bodily repair, etc.
Remember also that Twilight was using it in a presumably limited quantity to overcome tiredness for *reading assignments.* Applejack drank an entire bottle or flask and proceeded to carry out *INTENSE MANUAL LABOR.* One is something you can kinda put off sleeping after accomplishing, the other is something your body screams at you to sleep after doing. This is also why AppleJack began to hallucinate: Hallucinations are part of the possible side effects incurred from a lack of sleep. AJ was effectively forcing her body to go far beyond its limits and neglecting a literal essential for survival due to an OVERDOSE.
In other words, AJ was *ABSOLUTELY* running herself ragged, but *couldn’t feel it…* until it was far, far too late.
Moral of the story: if twilight gives you an energy drink, do NOT drink it...
I would. The records I could set from no sleep
Lol
Or better yet, don't ask for her help she might betrayed you in the end just to save herself and reputation
Maybe that potion was a drug
Apple jack shouldn't have asked for the potion. But Twilight shouldn't have forgotten that this happened because she gave that dangerous potion to Apple Jack when she knew it wasn't safe.Though I can't put all the murderers that Apple Jack did on Twilight.
So apparently (in this tale) Twilight will frame others and blame them for the sake of her reputation? Wow, this creepypasta REALLY makes me get: "Don't trust anyone, but yourself" vibes. Wow, such betrayal coming from "the princess of friendship". If you ask me, it's quite ironic.

Perhaps one of the best AppleJack grimdarks I've read/heard. Kudos to everyone who had a part in the voice acting and writing! The scene in the hospital, with all the voices, really got to me. Excellent use of editing and voice work!
Side effects of using twilight's potion: vomiting, ability to talk very fast, anger, rage, nausea, hallucinations and finally insanity.
Edit: that potion is what I'm guessing is like Red Bull or Monster energy drinks. Then the end of it all she doesn't know that she killed her friends, neighbors and even her own sister in her mental haze. That took a while to sink in or for it to click.
