This definitely deserves a full series. I would love to see what will happen if the canonical characters meet and face off against their evil Grimdark AU counterparts.
Not exactly Grimdark, but in the comics, Starswirl encounters a nightmare version of Celestia called Nightmare Star, an even worse version of Daybreaker. He was so terrified of what he saw, that Starswirl sealed off the portal to that dimension.
Agreed genuinely curious to see what direction it can take. It already seemed hopeless but other stories have taught me it can get so much worse. And i'm all here for it to be honest.
It was such a blast to voice Factory Dash again. Hearing MidnightMoth's vocals against mind was such a trip, especially considering how good their RD is! Honestly, that crying scene at the end got me. Very well done! Everyone, from the VAs, to the Artists, to especially Scribbler herself have brought their A game and it was an honor to be a part of it! ❤
Your Factory voice is awesome Lost!!! I hope to hear it againj in a future Rainbow Factory fanfic!!!! Midnight really did sound great when she was crying as Rainbow Dash!
If I had a nickel for every MLP grimdark featuring Rainbow Dash being haunted by nightmares, I'd have two nickels. Which isn't a lot, but it's weird that it happened twice
If I had a nickle for everytime I listened to a fanfic where one of the mane 6 is tormented to insanity by an alternate version of themselves, I'd have 2 nickles.. which also isn't alot. But it's weird it's happened twice.
Wow, I love how DIscord explaining the dimensions references some popular grimdark like Blueblood's pet, Apple Sleep Experiment, etc. Really nice touch!
I actually drew that segment, here's the full au list for u :) -Friendship is Tragic -Butterflies -Little Miss Rarity -Cupcakes -An Apple Sleep Experiment -Princess Trixie Sparkle -The Friendship Test -A Puppet To Her Fame -Vampiolence -History Repeats -Immortal Aflliction -Story of the blanks -Something Sweet To Bite
@@Ex1stential_Cr1sis it was my favorite attention to detail! I caught most of them but thank you for providing the full list, they are clear and confirmed. It’s like a reward for the fans! The little details make them so apparent that if you read or watch these fan fictions you will know what they are!
Dang that was a dark ending. Discord lost Fluttershy’s trust, Rainbowdash’s friends can’t even look at her anymore because they just see that evil Rainbowdash, and the echo escaped, into Twilight’s body!
I felt a pit in my stomach open up when I saw Twilight’s face. I was like “OH OF COURSE IT WOULD END LIKE THIS, it’s a bloody Grimdark!” Lmao I missed it when Grimdarks left you feeling so helpless with their ambiguous endings.
Dash took control over twilight a allicorn she has the power to bring all the others on to their world just imagine it would be an awesome thing to experience
Right? I was expecting to see RD show up in Scootaloo’s classroom and hug her like she’s never hugged her before. That’s what I get for hoping for the best.
@@-LunaRaine-right her face creeped me out I was not expecting her to be posessed by either Echo Dash or Rf (Rainbow Factory) Dash I hope Twilight get saved 😢
Man, a sequel where everyone has to team up to defeat a Factory Dash-possessed Twilight Sparkle would be darn interesting This is a really, really cool take on the Rainbow Factory, and makes me personally question on if the Mane 6 would want to question Celestia on if she knew about the Factory, if it exists like that in their universe too
Okay a Factory Dash possessed Twilight sparkle would be very VERY interesting Even more so knowing that RF dash ended her universe twilight… Maybe she misses her more than what she says (I still think she too far gone if she up to end fluttershy, in the aurora dawn version she literally all up and let not alive Fluttershy w her animals alone… I think they started to eat her because of the fact they were starving (im not sure why…. But it’s probably a disposition fluttershy would have accepted)
I felt so bad for RD and friends, RD may have been the one suffering the most because of that parallel Dash. But now her friends are forced to suffer that experience with her, And all because Discord thought that planting chaos magic in RD's body would make a good prank. Like I said in the chat, Of all the messed-up things Discord has ever done that was the absolute worst. This special was absolutely worth the wait Scribbler! I enjoyed every second of it, And like always everything from the art to the voice acting was assembled ever so amazingly and phenomenally, Make no make mistake about it! Everyone did such a brilliant and divine job bringing this vid to life. Simply glorious work guys a very Happy late Halloween/Nightmare Night to you all!!!
Surprisingly enough, this wasn't even Discord's intention He didn't mean to infect her with Multiversal Energy That was just an unintended side effect from his prank Now, he's accidentally sucked a piece of the Multiverse into their reality, who knows what horrors will follow...
@@Archiver_Studioyeah. But the fact he CHOSE to not deal with the magic in a more...safe manner was his choice and it lead to twilight getting possesed
@@gulsum6084I mean it is Discord, he probably didn't see it as anything aside from a minor issue He might've not even realized it had been infused into Dash until it had been extracted
@@Archiver_Studio you know. AFTER twilight had already extracted it in a manner HE HIMSELF noted to be dangerous? Like he knew it was dangerous there is no real justification besides that its discord and he isn't prone to think things throuth which isn't a real defence to be frank. He messed up and now everyone is gonna pay the price of twilights possession.
1:20:17 I see: Lil Miss Rarity Cupcakes Blood on my Bow An Apple Sleep Experiment Vampiolence Near the top right: History Repeats? Friendship Lessons A Fluttershy with Blood Story of the Blanks Have I missed any? This story just dove into a Multiverse of Gridmark stories.
Hi, artist for that segment here: Little miss rarity, cupcakes, friendship test, something sweet to bite, butterflies, puppet to her fame, vampiolence, apple sleep experiment, immortal affliction, history repeats, princess Trixie sparkle, rainbow factory, story of the blanks.
Sounds like that you're giving AppleDash the GrimDark spotlight given how hated this Fandom ship really is. That... and the romance you delivered throughout the story, especially during their train ride to Canterlot. Well done, Scribbler!
Hated? I've only heard good things about it before now. They always had good chemistry, they can help eachother with their different jobs, and their virtues complement eachother.
And, on top of that, Twilight’s apparently now possessed either by the Echo Rainbow Factory Dash or another evil version of herself. Great going, Discord. Your "prank" pretty much doomed the entire universe
In the interest of fairness this WAS a one in a MILLION chance of this happening. I don't think Discord had any intent on hurting Dash the way he did, especially for something that seemed to be harmless. It was an honest mistake on his part, that just so happens to have serious repercussions. That being said, I can see Discord sleeping on the couch for quite awhile when all of this mess is over with.
Yo just finished this and this was so dark I was traumatized by it. And that ending oh man I gotta say it we need a part 2 because it was that good. Well done obab, lost, magpie and everyone else who worked on it you guys are a machine when you work together ❤️. Have a fabulous day.
Amazing work as always. Special kudos to the artists; they really hit it out of the park this time. I'm not a big Rainbow Factory fan, but seeing Factory Dash in this story was terrifying. It really shows the juxtaposition between show accurate depictions and the fandoms grimdark interpretations. And man, that ending with Scootaloo and whatever Twilight became really made me question if Factory Dash is gonna hurt Scootaloo or try and recruit/hold her captive because in some sick, twisted way she actually misses her Scootaloo.
Ikr poor her I feel so bad for her 😢 damnnit Discord why did he do that to poor Dash and I also feel bad for Twilight cause now she's been taken over by either Echo Dash or Rainbow Factory Dash someone needs to save Twilight and I hope Scootaloo gets the hell out before posessed Twilight does something awful to her
@@glitterdash6224 considering rainbow dash well the factory one is like rainbow dash but she steals magic instead of gives like she gave to twilight and pinkie with her sonic rainboom meing rainbow factory dash literally drains the very essence of ponies thier magic thier spectra unicorn pony pegasus your not safe as long as thier is magic to be drained she will a real evil umbra considering if you watch the show and play the mobile game you'll realize rainbow dash isn't a pegsus but a umbra though a good one as umbras can be good or bad just like wendigos it's just rainbow dash is a umbra born good
Older rainbow dash: who are you!? 😡 factory dash: I’m you but….better and I’m going to ruin everyone life’s for my origin of my story and taking over your twilight’s body and the equestria to rule over! 😈
I’ve already said it like three times but I can’t thank Scribbler enough for letting me be a part of this story. It’s amazing to see my art alongside everyone else’s and EVERYONE did sooooo good! The art is eating and the vocal performances are stunning! I’m so happy this project turned out so well and it was such a blast to watch💖
Thank you so much for including me in this production scribbler! Doing art for the channel is so much fun! I can’t wait to see it all come together 💖💖💖
It was an absolute pleasure and a whole lot of fun to be part of this project as an artist! I am so honored to have worked alongside so many talented people! It turned out so incredible, and watching in real time the love, effort, and care that went into this was something I’ll never forget. Everyone deserves a big round of applause for their contributions. And of course, the biggest thanks and love goes to Scribbler! For writing an incredible story, getting everyone together, and working hard to get this done. Thank you, Scribbler! It was an honor to work with you and everyone else, and I hope to continue working with you on future projects!
This is a great reading! It's such an interesting concept to see how the ponies we know of react to their Grimdark counterparts. Especially the more well-known ones. The way you portrayed Rainbow Factory Dash is practically perfect. I really like her and Rainbow Factory antagonist in general as villains. Unlike villains and antagonists from other grimdarks, the Rainbow Factory ones just know what to say to get under someone's skin. All the raw lunacy they spew out of their mouths, coming from corrupt and barbaric beliefs imposed onto them by their evil society. They think they're in the right. They stain the skies with spectra made from the slaughtered remains of kids and they think they're right. It really makes them unique in my eyes. This reading really captures the mindset of the pegasus from the Rainbow Factory universe. Also, what Rainbow Factory Dash said at 1:08:25 is just so rich. The audacity to call her a traitor. Her, a petty psycho who murders pegasus kids on a routine basis, a bastard who murdered her own friend, calling A SAVIOR a traitor to her own kind. She's calling a pony, who helped save a country several times, a traitor. The pure irony. One more thing I'd like to mention is that I really like that you decided to assign 2 different voices actresses for the 2 Rainbow Dash's instead of just having one voice actress do both. Having 2 of them doing their own impression of Rainbow Dash really emphasizes the fact that even though they're both Rainbow Dash, they're different versions of one another. Similar in some ways and different in others.
So honored to have been brought on to do art for this amazing project! Twas my first time doing art for an audio drama. And of course applause for everyone else who contributed, VAs and artists! Y'all are rockstars! 🎉
AAAAH can’t wait to see it all together finally!! Thank you Scribbler for giving me and the other artist’s in this a chance to be a part of this project! I am beyond grateful and super honored to have been one your artist’s for this Year’s Halloween’s special! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as we enjoyed creating it! 🫶⭐️
Wow, that was incredibly well done! Everyone did such a great job with this! The RD VA, MidnightMoth, alongside Lost, was phenomenal for what I can assume was her first big role.
Hello there, thank you so much for the compliment! Yes, this was my first big role! Not to mention, Rainbow Dash is my hardest voice to imitate! I was shocked I tell you when Scribbler chose me, I put in my Dash lines as mostly a "Why the buck not? Why not audition for all of the main six" kind of thing. I honestly thought I was going to get Fluttershy, since I feel I do her voice best. So, imagine my surprise when I got Rainbow Dash! Scribbler heard something/saw something in me that I didn't, and I will forever be grateful she did! She told me that I need to believe in my abilities more, and she's right. After being part of something this great, I'll never doubt my skill/abilities again~! Funfact: I did all my lines in one full take, so one take Dashie at your service! Also, important notice- you did not know so don't feel bad, just letting everypony/everycreature know I go by they/them!
All in one take? That is incredible! You definitely have quite a bit of talent and you did such a great job. You deserve a lot more attention as a VA. Truth be told, I was in your shoes 8 years ago when I got my first break as RD in Scribbler’s Awoken production, though I will admit my acting skills and mic quality at the time could’ve been better. If it wasn’t for Scribbler giving me a chance all those years ago, I’m not sure where I would be. I’m actually surprised that this turned out to be a Rainbow Factory story and to hear some of the original Awoken dialogue I said as RD through Lost as well so this was definitely quite a treat. But enough about me, lol. You knocked this performance out of the park. Dare I say it, this story is much darker than Awoken was. If you would like to collab sometime with me, I’m always looking for new people to collab with me on my channel. My door is open.
@@Ribonchan For some reason TH-cam ate my reply and so I'm just gonna shorten what I said! My reply was basically thanking you once more for the compliment! And saying I would love to try out a collab with you sometime in the future! Do you have a social media that's not TH-cam where I can reach you at?
Thank you for giving me a chance and including me as an artist in this project, Scribbler. It was really fun doing art and meeting with the other artists! Everyone's doing a fantastic job!
🐲 Thank you for having me as Spike on this 🐲! I came across the show last year alongside your videos, and I can't believe that now I'm in one of your grimdarks. Congratulations to you and all the artists and voice actors for their amazing work! 📜 🔥 🔥 🔥 📜
Oh my god, IS THIS A SERIES?! Is this some kind of MLP Grimdark Multiverse series?! Because if so, I AM HERE FOR IT! I would LOVE to see both old and new grimdark stories being infused into some sort of Malevolent Multiverse of Horrors Also, that final Twilight really makes me wonder so many things, especially since it looked like she was from some hellish infection au Did she absorb Factory Dash? Was she possessed? I HAVE QUESTIONS SCRIBBLER!
Not a series I’m afraid, though of other people want to run with the concept I’d be okay with that. And Twilight is indeed possessed by Factory Dash at the end. ;)
@@ScribblerProductions101 The best part is if you decide to go that route there's at least One or Two Famous Iterations for Messed Up Version of the Main 6. So if you want to go Multi-Versal we can get something possibly Very Interesting or Even if not that at all it still would be interesting to see what other direction it could take.

while I do have some complaints or points of confusion, possibly because I don't know enough lore about the rainbow factory, I will say i'm very glad that the story didn't turn into a "how dare you, we hate you" after RD attacked rarity. They thought rationally and forgave while RD was overwhelmed in shock and disbelief. After decades of friendship, that was a very realistic interaction. I may also be a little biased with stories with terms such as "insanity", "madness", or "crazy". I just cant see into/understand the insane's mind/actions as much as i would like, can anyone? Regardless, this was an excellent dub full many talented artist, I was invested the entire 2 hours 👍
This was freaking amazing! This was such a cool take/alternate story on Rainbow Factory. The story, the art, the editing, and the voice acting were all incredible! I have so many chills and was screeching with shock and amazement during so many scenes. I can’t believe this hand a cliffhanger too! Like what did Twilight do? And what the heck is going to happen to Scootaloo? The final “Hello Absentia” line freaked me out but also have me soo many goosebumps. Very well done. Good work Scribbler and everyone who bought this video to life
It is sometimes terrifying, but sometimes heartwarming, to think about the fact that a single choice, great or small, can completely change who you are, and who you become
Man, this grimdark project is truly horrifying, spooktacular, and all around amazing! Great work on this audio drama, Scribbler! I feel very sad for Rainbow Dash and the others to experience such horrible moments like this. And that ending kinda made my heart skip a beat. The voice acting and the music was truly a masterpiece! 💀💀😨😨😨😨😱😱😱😱😱😱💕💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😴😴💤💤💤💤🛌🏻🛌🏻
This was great Scribbler!!! Your hard work paid off here! Loved seeing Rainbow factory Dash again! And it was interesting to see Rainbow come face to face with her evil self. There was so many shocking and well told moments!! Discord should have known better to put Rainbow through that. Now that Factory Dash is in Twilight things will get more dangerous for Scootaloo. Still the same old Factory Dash, heartless, careless, evil, pshycopathic monster she was back in Rainbow Factory. Not one bit of care or love in her. And she enjoys Rainbow's suffering which tells me she hasn't changed a bit like back how she showed no love to Scootaloo after she broke into tears and told her she thought she loved her. This was awesome Scribbler!! I would listen to it again!!! So Scribbler, Friendship is tragic 2 next?
This was an amazing Audio Drama! This was a beautiful grimdark story that really gave me a good set of new goosebumps. I am glad that you made this Halloween special. Thank you all the voice actors and artist for making this awesome Audio Drama amazing.
I just realized this is the second time dash has been tortured in her dreams to the point of near insanity and death in a fanfic this poor pegasus cannot catch a break
I’m beyond excited to see this project finished!! I had an absolute blast being an artist on the team, and absolutely everyone on the team did an amazing job 💜🫶💜 Thanks for having me on
Okay, that mentioning about Discord's prank was clever foreshadowing. I hadn't expected that. Well played, Scribbler. Well played, indeed Although... there's something VERY concerning. Prime Dash’s memory matched Rainbow Factory Dash’s up to the point those pegasi in suits spoke to her. Their memories differed from there... but their implications are identical. 1:36:56 wait. *Vice Principal* Trixie? Did Sunburst have to step down? The heck? And... the heck is that ending?😱
@@autumbreeze1129 Discord mentioned eariler Twilight using her own magic combined with both chaos and dimensional magic is extremely dangerous, and this was the result. The echo of Factory Dash possessed Twilight and went to locate Scootaloo, given their history in the Rainbow Factory story. The possessed Twilight called Scootaloo "Absentia" because in one of the many Rainbow Factory stories, Absentia is a older Scootaloo that has no memory of her past life as Scootaloo.
I... wow... holy crap. You can definitely tell the love and dedication put into this whole entire project. From the art, to the visual effects to the voice acting. Everyone gave their all. And I think if you ever think you want to do more of this in the future. I would definitely love to see more.
Woah!!! That was a wild ride that i enjoyed every second of. I read the fic when you first posted it on fimfic, and I love how you expanded it. So awesome!
Ohh, a Scribbler Rainbow Factory Reading! I can't wait to listen and finish this! I can't believe I was so spaced out to miss the Premiere! Sorry about that. I KNOW this'll be utterly amazing as usual, Scribbler, dear. 🤗
No words, literally no words. You guys really overdid it this time, congrats! Scribbler, te amo. And i love every person that made this possible to come to life, thank you guys. P.S: Poor Scootaloo, i was really hoping noting would happen to her, but it was obvious it would be that way, no joke, as i saw the scene progress with Possesed Twilight, i wanted to protect Scootalo. What's gonna do "Factory Dash" now with the body and power of an Alicorn, all at her will?
Wouldn't surprise me if one of the first thing she does aside from taking out Scootaloo... She decides to take out the one being capable of stopping her, Discord.. Since he could just banish her from the plan of existence. I'm thinking using Grogar's bell, given it still exists and Twilight probably had it hidden in a place only she knew and Factory Dash had her body and memories. *Discord would be too powerful otherwise* Then once removed of his powers, she would slowly and painfully take him apart. Bit by bit. Saving his parts until she finished building a Pegasus device in this world, to shove them into to drain the spectra that remained. Fluttershy learns about this a bit soon as she finishes the device, feeling sad she never got to see discord again. She'd go full psycho on twilight, ending up causing the possessed twilight to fall into the very device after Fluttershy manages to break her wings. She'd beg for Fluttershy to be kind and help her, only for Fluttershy to be all "Letting you die... Would be the kindest thing I could do for twilight." Maybe fluttershy gets arrested for murdering her, gets jailed, but gets haunted by the memories of the dark universes and possibly the ghost trying to possess her. She'd keep it at bay, but it would still torture her till her final days.. Sad and alone.
Wow! I've been looking forward to this since the casting call video, and I am beyond impressed with how this turned out! Congrats to all of you, especially the newcomers. Scribbler, you put together a masterpiece even with all the trials of this year. You are a force to be reckoned with! Every detail of this was amazing, and I personally really enjoyed the references to the other grimdarks!
Although it might not happen and it's alright if it doesn't, the thing I want the most out of this audio drama is a deep conversation between the 2 Rainbow Dash's. From what I remember of what I read or heard of this story, Rainbow Factory Rainbow Dash argues why despite everything she sacrificed, the other Rainbow Dash has a better life. I'd like to see how the other Rainbow Dash would tackle that.
This was phenomenal! Felt like I was watching a good movie the whole time. The production quality was next level, especially the credits. I know scribbler said she wasn’t planning on making it a series unless enough people asked for it. I am absolutely one of those people 🙏
Red hot turbo chargers, that was horrifying! Great job with this Grimdark, and I'm starting to question why the writers of MLP decided to reform Discord if they knew he would almost always mess things up.
it's so well done. im eager to see more of this story. i really liked it, congrats scribller and team. shutout to all artists and vas envolved as well. damn, really good as always.
Holy macarol. That is one of the most powerful stories I've heard all year. And the climax of the story is absolutely mind-boggling. Well done everyone! This is absolutely terrifying and very much enjoyable ☺️
Amazing work on this video. This really gave me the goosebumps while watching the video and I really loved seeing both Applejack and Rainbow Dash together. I hope you and everyone keep up the amazing work you do.
Animators and voice actors amazing as always, but the editors really made this extra special, felt overwhelmingly good at the "crazy" parts, had to pause and catch myself. Don't know how to feel about the shift when Disorder came, it is on character, but I don't know..Edit: Rewatching this, reminds me of a lot of people mentioning Disorder as some sort of solution to the problem, when he actually appears here.. [Spoiler alert!] Things are worse.. in fact he did not get involved, maybe just maybe it wouldn't have been as worse, mentally transferred evil RD to Twi.. I wonder if RD was the first victim of this, or the others are just better at hiding it... Really hoping for some sort of continuation of this, doesn't need to exactly follow what we left off here, but another victim perhaps..? : ) Hoping it's Fluttershy or Rarity, I barely see any attention to their evil counterparts, Pattycakes and Lil Miss Rares are dope, AJ finally getting the attention she has, Twi already taken, and Pinkie's just overdone to this point.
Makes sense really, it seemed to mostly dissipate and I'm pretty sure the sheer magic of twilight would overwhelm it with how little would have gotten into twilight as it was COVERING THE ENTIRE ROOM. So it barely being enough to temporarily take over twilight kinda makes sense...and it's what I want to happen.
Wow, that was an amazing audio drama, #Scribbler, who It serves as a tribute to the typical old creepypasta known by this fandom ((besides leaving me speechless too XD 😬). Great work!!! 👍
This was amazing plot characters interactions and how they react to evil parallel worlds of choices and consequences of choices made. One choice could change alot of history one choice could lead to someone you don't recognize has yourself because of 1 choice can be all thats needed to ruin yourself or others.
Seeing Twilight's warped visage was bad enough. My mind immediately went to "The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle" until the "OH BUCK!" moment the name "Absentia" was uttered😱
The real question is since the future was decided by rainbow dash saying no to working in the weather factory that means the rainbow factory still exists in the main universe just under different management who runs the factory In the main universe?
This.... was.... interesting. I love it. Had me on edge for quite a while listening to it, and the voice acting and art is top tier as always. It works perfectly as a standalone story, even with the cliffhanger ending. But now i need to see what happens next: Will possesed Twilight somehow perfect the dark multiversal magic and summon all of her friends's grimdark opposites? Would middle aged AJ survive against her Sleep Deprived opposite? Would Fluttershy be able to stomach the gruesomeness of her butterfly obsessed self? Will Pinkie Pie shutter in horror as she learns the secret ingredient of her grimdark's.... cupcakes? Maybe im rambling, idk... Great story. Keep up the good work, everypony 💯
I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing more of this…either with Overmare (for simplicity) taking over each of the main six, or the magic turning into the alternate versions of whoever it possesses; Researcher Twilight, Pinkamina, Little Mis Rarity, Butchershy (or ANY dark Fluttershy, there’s surprisingly a lot of them) and whatever dark counterpart Applejack has
10 years in the making this was awesome also slightly disturbing lol but some advice dont be eating while watching something with blood in it lol it will kill your appetite
I love the art style from the few minutes and this story was so cool and it’s interesting I was scared and worried i’m really fascinated by the story to be honest. I’m thinking going to draw a few of the characters.
I know I'm a month late but I just wanna say that I absolutely love the "wracked by the grief of a lifetime she had *not* chosen, and the children she had *not* murdered" line. It hits me hard every single time. It's such a strong and raw line that gives me a feeling that I don't know I can describe other than a simple: *Damn.*
It's a pretty simple concept it's basically just seeing memories of another living thing. Like a dream or a life not lived knowing something without knowing something.
I cant belive we have to put up warnings now because of drama youtubers making a big deal out of it but they themselves are okay with playing horror games that are +18 and dont do the warning knowing all to well that their audience is a bunch of lil kids.
Isn't a bad ending what we've witnessing? Or there might be more? Dashie needs some hugs for what she have been through but holy that was a scary story. All the participants did a great work! Guess Twilight will be next..
"ink sans" : The grimdark au's stories spread throughout the realities at an alarming speed... We need to do something... It could be dangerous for the lives of infinities of lives... "Leo / thxStarlight" : agree... The multiverse is in danger... And us guardians we're going to fix it... [ to be continued in the mlpverse... ] ((ok now for real... this is trully hype, i loved it since the end of it and i know i don't comment much on TH-cam since i'm kinda shy... But i do love... No adore !! what you and lostnarrator magpiepony and the rest doing... You inspired me a lot... And i wouldn't never be engouth Thankfull for dropping bangers such as this one... that's why... As a beginner french artist, big lover of multiversal stories and it's concept, mlp and horrors, i must do a comic about it and include it on my multiversal adventures... An uncanon one to this, where me, my oc guardian of the multiverse go to the grimdark stories and well... you guess it do they job... Only for the pleasure of drawing like usual, no for money since i still don't know how that works and because that's not my goal... or the rest... Just for full pleasure since i like drawing a lot... And i will mention you and the others artist... Like i did with princewhateverer and way more... But I'll probably do that after i finish the ones i'm making on Twitter with epictale and flawless redemption arc... Anyway that’s all for me i love you're work i'm a great fan x3 even if i don't talk much I'll look forwards to see what new videos you'll make !!.. I also hope there will be A sequel to this one >w< it would be so awsome !! 💕💖💓... Sorry too for my english can do mistakes and that comment is long... Ur great keep the good work !

This definitely deserves a full series. I would love to see what will happen if the canonical characters meet and face off against their evil Grimdark AU counterparts.
Not exactly Grimdark, but in the comics, Starswirl encounters a nightmare version of Celestia called Nightmare Star, an even worse version of Daybreaker. He was so terrified of what he saw, that Starswirl sealed off the portal to that dimension.
Agreed genuinely curious to see what direction it can take. It already seemed hopeless but other stories have taught me it can get so much worse. And i'm all here for it to be honest.
We already have this and kinda cupcakes
I'm wondering what will happen if Pinkie were to confront a Grimdark AU character of herself from Cupcakes.
@@darkhood061 Or worse yet, Rarity meeting Lil Miss Rarity.
It was such a blast to voice Factory Dash again. Hearing MidnightMoth's vocals against mind was such a trip, especially considering how good their RD is! Honestly, that crying scene at the end got me. Very well done!
Everyone, from the VAs, to the Artists, to especially Scribbler herself have brought their A game and it was an honor to be a part of it! ❤

If I had a nickle for everytime I listened to a fanfic where one of the mane 6 is tormented to insanity by an alternate version of themselves, I'd have 2 nickles.. which also isn't alot.

Wow, I love how DIscord explaining the dimensions references some popular grimdark like Blueblood's pet, Apple Sleep Experiment, etc. Really nice touch!
Glad you liked it!
I actually drew that segment, here's the full au list for u :)
-Friendship is Tragic
-Butterflies
-Little Miss Rarity
-Cupcakes
-An Apple Sleep Experiment
-Princess Trixie Sparkle
-The Friendship Test
-A Puppet To Her Fame
-Vampiolence
-History Repeats

some of the images within it were from other artists on this project, such as ashe, sindeleya, and calicreature
@@Ex1stential_Cr1sis it was my favorite attention to detail! I caught most of them but thank you for providing the full list, they are clear and confirmed. It’s like a reward for the fans! The little details make them so apparent that if you read or watch these fan fictions you will know what they are!
@@senatorarmstrong1233 And me too, I loved it.
Dang that was a dark ending. Discord lost Fluttershy’s trust, Rainbowdash’s friends can’t even look at her anymore because they just see that evil Rainbowdash, and the echo escaped, into Twilight’s body!
Hey at least thier alive
@@hunterculpepper1973not for long with what happened to twilight.
You see this is what we call a set up not the bad setup, not The setup for a sequel.
( Son on the mother phone ) sigh Discord?!
I felt a pit in my stomach open up when I saw Twilight’s face. I was like “OH OF COURSE IT WOULD END LIKE THIS, it’s a bloody Grimdark!”
Lmao I missed it when Grimdarks left you feeling so helpless with their ambiguous endings.
Dash took control over twilight a allicorn she has the power to bring all the others on to their world just imagine it would be an awesome thing to experience
ikr i saw her face in the dark and my heart stopped beating it scared me so bad
Right? I was expecting to see RD show up in Scootaloo’s classroom and hug her like she’s never hugged her before. That’s what I get for hoping for the best.
@@-LunaRaine-right her face creeped me out I was not expecting her to be posessed by either Echo Dash or Rf (Rainbow Factory) Dash I hope Twilight get saved 😢
Guess we can only hope for a possible sequel😏
Man, a sequel where everyone has to team up to defeat a Factory Dash-possessed Twilight Sparkle would be darn interesting
This is a really, really cool take on the Rainbow Factory, and makes me personally question on if the Mane 6 would want to question Celestia on if she knew about the Factory, if it exists like that in their universe too
Okay a Factory Dash possessed Twilight sparkle would be very VERY interesting
Even more so knowing that RF dash ended her universe twilight…
Maybe she misses her more than what she says (I still think she too far gone if she up to end fluttershy, in the aurora dawn version she literally all up and let not alive Fluttershy w her animals alone… I think they started to eat her because of the fact they were starving (im not sure why…. But it’s probably a disposition fluttershy would have accepted)
I felt so bad for RD and friends, RD may have been the one suffering the most because of that parallel Dash. But now her friends are forced to suffer that experience with her, And all because Discord thought that planting chaos magic in RD's body would make a good prank. Like I said in the chat, Of all the messed-up things Discord has ever done that was the absolute worst.
This special was absolutely worth the wait Scribbler! I enjoyed every second of it, And like always everything from the art to the voice acting was assembled ever so amazingly and phenomenally, Make no make mistake about it! Everyone did such a brilliant and divine job bringing this vid to life. Simply glorious work guys a very Happy late Halloween/Nightmare Night to you all!!!
Surprisingly enough, this wasn't even Discord's intention
He didn't mean to infect her with Multiversal Energy
That was just an unintended side effect from his prank
Now, he's accidentally sucked a piece of the Multiverse into their reality, who knows what horrors will follow...
@@Archiver_Studioyeah. But the fact he CHOSE to not deal with the magic in a more...safe manner was his choice and it lead to twilight getting possesed
@@gulsum6084I mean it is Discord, he probably didn't see it as anything aside from a minor issue
He might've not even realized it had been infused into Dash until it had been extracted
@@Archiver_Studio you know. AFTER twilight had already extracted it in a manner HE HIMSELF noted to be dangerous? Like he knew it was dangerous there is no real justification besides that its discord and he isn't prone to think things throuth which isn't a real defence to be frank. He messed up and now everyone is gonna pay the price of twilights possession.
1:20:17 I see:
Lil Miss Rarity
Cupcakes
Blood on my Bow
An Apple Sleep Experiment
Vampiolence
Near the top right: History Repeats?
Friendship Lessons
A Fluttershy with Blood
Story of the Blanks
Have I missed any? This story just dove into a Multiverse of Gridmark stories.
Looks like the princess Trixie sparkle series is there too.
Close! Blood on My Bow is actually A Puppet to Her Fame, the fluttershy one is Butterflies and in the lower left corner is Something Sweet to Bite.
Hi, artist for that segment here:
Little miss rarity, cupcakes, friendship test, something sweet to bite, butterflies, puppet to her fame, vampiolence, apple sleep experiment, immortal affliction, history repeats, princess Trixie sparkle, rainbow factory, story of the blanks.
Sounds like that you're giving AppleDash the GrimDark spotlight given how hated this Fandom ship really is. That... and the romance you delivered throughout the story, especially during their train ride to Canterlot.
Well done, Scribbler!
Hated ship, I love the ship, also nice pfp, I love Octascratch
I thought I was the only one who didn't like the ship. Honestly I don't ship the mane six with each other.
@@jarodclemente5549 Hated or not, it is basically canon.
Hated? I've only heard good things about it before now. They always had good chemistry, they can help eachother with their different jobs, and their virtues complement eachother.
Wow,the Rainbow Factory AU in the principal universe 😮,it reminds me Mortal Kombat 1 with those evil versions invading Liu Kang's timeline
We're going through the Multiverse aren't we?
@@disneyduncan6734 just imagine if the evil versions of all 6 of them came out to destroy themselves!?!??!
@@ljlegend9443 imagine we get a sequel where characters from other gridmark stories come together through the multiverse?
Already better than Multiverse of Madness
Ljlegend technically Crystallits already tried that
In season 8
1:30:53 damn discord you make Fluttershy almost want divorce discord for that cruel prank psychological to her friend
And, on top of that, Twilight’s apparently now possessed either by the Echo Rainbow Factory Dash or another evil version of herself.
Great going, Discord.
Your "prank" pretty much doomed the entire universe
@autumbreeze1129 that how equestria doom and born a g5
And discord still blaming himself for his action and change to become cold to friendship and doesn't want to near someone anymore
Discord: "It was just prank, bro."
The prank:
In the interest of fairness this WAS a one in a MILLION chance of this happening. I don't think Discord had any intent on hurting Dash the way he did, especially for something that seemed to be harmless. It was an honest mistake on his part, that just so happens to have serious repercussions. That being said, I can see Discord sleeping on the couch for quite awhile when all of this mess is over with.
Yo just finished this and this was so dark I was traumatized by it. And that ending oh man I gotta say it we need a part 2 because it was that good. Well done obab, lost, magpie and everyone else who worked on it you guys are a machine when you work together ❤️. Have a fabulous day.
Im screaming at the end we need a sequel...
IS SCOOTALOO OK AND TWILIGHT POSSESSED!!!!
There has to be a better way to remove the curse?
@@ashpaull8009 The only one who knows is Discord. He got us in this mess, and he can get us out of it.
@@ashpaull8009 SAME SAVE TWILIGHT AND SAVE SCOOTALO
Amazing work as always. Special kudos to the artists; they really hit it out of the park this time. I'm not a big Rainbow Factory fan, but seeing Factory Dash in this story was terrifying. It really shows the juxtaposition between show accurate depictions and the fandoms grimdark interpretations.
And man, that ending with Scootaloo and whatever Twilight became really made me question if Factory Dash is gonna hurt Scootaloo or try and recruit/hold her captive because in some sick, twisted way she actually misses her Scootaloo.
Poor rainbow, nobody should have to deal with their evil twin from another reality 😭
Ikr poor her I feel so bad for her 😢 damnnit Discord why did he do that to poor Dash
and I also feel bad for Twilight cause now she's been taken over by either Echo Dash or Rainbow Factory Dash someone needs to save Twilight and I hope Scootaloo gets the hell out before posessed Twilight does something awful to her
Oh NOOOOO THE ENDING
I'm sure this was planned as a oneshot but godddddd I want to see more. Banger song at the end btw
Is there a way to bring back twilight?
@@ashpaull8009 I hope so or else that Equestria is doomed
@@glitterdash6224 it reminded me of Baby taking over Vegeta's body in Dragon Ball GT.
@@glitterdash6224 considering rainbow dash well the factory one is like rainbow dash but she steals magic instead of gives like she gave to twilight and pinkie with her sonic rainboom meing rainbow factory dash literally drains the very essence of ponies thier magic thier spectra unicorn pony pegasus your not safe as long as thier is magic to be drained she will a real evil umbra considering if you watch the show and play the mobile game you'll realize rainbow dash isn't a pegsus but a umbra though a good one as umbras can be good or bad just like wendigos it's just rainbow dash is a umbra born good
This came out so freaking good scribs, so glad to be a part of this project!! Happy to be on the team and to see this all come together.
Older rainbow dash: who are you!? 😡
factory dash: I’m you but….better and I’m going to ruin everyone life’s for my origin of my story and taking over your twilight’s body and the equestria to rule over! 😈
I’ve already said it like three times but I can’t thank Scribbler enough for letting me be a part of this story. It’s amazing to see my art alongside everyone else’s and EVERYONE did sooooo good! The art is eating and the vocal performances are stunning! I’m so happy this project turned out so well and it was such a blast to watch💖

Nah bro when I saw Twilights face, I literally threw my phone bc it scared me so bad
@@Jazmine681 I take this as a compliment lol, I went the extra mile to go as creepy as possible within the style limitations.
It was an absolute pleasure and a whole lot of fun to be part of this project as an artist! I am so honored to have worked alongside so many talented people! It turned out so incredible, and watching in real time the love, effort, and care that went into this was something I’ll never forget. Everyone deserves a big round of applause for their contributions.
And of course, the biggest thanks and love goes to Scribbler! For writing an incredible story, getting everyone together, and working hard to get this done. Thank you, Scribbler! It was an honor to work with you and everyone else, and I hope to continue working with you on future projects!
Just finished watching it. This was such a stellar production. Everyone did such an amazing job :D
Thx for having me on board as Pinkie ^^
Super random but my jaw dropped at the simpson reference in Cheese Sandwitch's office. " Do it for her" 😭
This is a great reading! It's such an interesting concept to see how the ponies we know of react to their Grimdark counterparts. Especially the more well-known ones.
The way you portrayed Rainbow Factory Dash is practically perfect. I really like her and Rainbow Factory antagonist in general as villains. Unlike villains and antagonists from other grimdarks, the Rainbow Factory ones just know what to say to get under someone's skin. All the raw lunacy they spew out of their mouths, coming from corrupt and barbaric beliefs imposed onto them by their evil society.
They think they're in the right. They stain the skies with spectra made from the slaughtered remains of kids and they think they're right. It really makes them unique in my eyes. This reading really captures the mindset of the pegasus from the Rainbow Factory universe.
Also, what Rainbow Factory Dash said at 1:08:25 is just so rich. The audacity to call her a traitor. Her, a petty psycho who murders pegasus kids on a routine basis, a bastard who murdered her own friend, calling A SAVIOR a traitor to her own kind. She's calling a pony, who helped save a country several times, a traitor. The pure irony.
One more thing I'd like to mention is that I really like that you decided to assign 2 different voices actresses for the 2 Rainbow Dash's instead of just having one voice actress do both. Having 2 of them doing their own impression of Rainbow Dash really emphasizes the fact that even though they're both Rainbow Dash, they're different versions of one another. Similar in some ways and different in others.
So honored to have been brought on to do art for this amazing project! Twas my first time doing art for an audio drama. And of course applause for everyone else who contributed, VAs and artists! Y'all are rockstars! 🎉
AAAAH can’t wait to see it all together finally!! Thank you Scribbler for giving me and the other artist’s in this a chance to be a part of this project! I am beyond grateful and super honored to have been one your artist’s for this Year’s Halloween’s special! Hope everyone enjoys it as much as we enjoyed creating it! 🫶⭐️
Wow, that was incredibly well done! Everyone did such a great job with this! The RD VA, MidnightMoth, alongside Lost, was phenomenal for what I can assume was her first big role.
Hello there, thank you so much for the compliment! Yes, this was my first big role! Not to mention, Rainbow Dash is my hardest voice to imitate! I was shocked I tell you when Scribbler chose me, I put in my Dash lines as mostly a "Why the buck not? Why not audition for all of the main six" kind of thing. I honestly thought I was going to get Fluttershy, since I feel I do her voice best. So, imagine my surprise when I got Rainbow Dash!
Scribbler heard something/saw something in me that I didn't, and I will forever be grateful she did! She told me that I need to believe in my abilities more, and she's right. After being part of something this great, I'll never doubt my skill/abilities again~!
Funfact: I did all my lines in one full take, so one take Dashie at your service!
Also, important notice- you did not know so don't feel bad, just letting everypony/everycreature know I go by they/them!
All in one take? That is incredible! You definitely have quite a bit of talent and you did such a great job. You deserve a lot more attention as a VA.
Truth be told, I was in your shoes 8 years ago when I got my first break as RD in Scribbler’s Awoken production, though I will admit my acting skills and mic quality at the time could’ve been better. If it wasn’t for Scribbler giving me a chance all those years ago, I’m not sure where I would be. I’m actually surprised that this turned out to be a Rainbow Factory story and to hear some of the original Awoken dialogue I said as RD through Lost as well so this was definitely quite a treat.
But enough about me, lol. You knocked this performance out of the park. Dare I say it, this story is much darker than Awoken was. If you would like to collab sometime with me, I’m always looking for new people to collab with me on my channel. My door is open.
@@Ribonchan
For some reason TH-cam ate my reply and so I'm just gonna shorten what I said! My reply was basically thanking you once more for the compliment! And saying I would love to try out a collab with you sometime in the future! Do you have a social media that's not TH-cam where I can reach you at?

Oh my god, IS THIS A SERIES?!
Is this some kind of MLP Grimdark Multiverse series?!
Because if so, I AM HERE FOR IT!
I would LOVE to see both old and new grimdark stories being infused into some sort of Malevolent Multiverse of Horrors
Also, that final Twilight really makes me wonder so many things, especially since it looked like she was from some hellish infection au
Did she absorb Factory Dash?
Was she possessed?
I HAVE QUESTIONS SCRIBBLER!
Not a series I’m afraid, though of other people want to run with the concept I’d be okay with that. And Twilight is indeed possessed by Factory Dash at the end. ;)
@@ScribblerProductions101 The best part is if you decide to go that route there's at least One or Two Famous Iterations for Messed Up Version of the Main 6. So if you want to go Multi-Versal we can get something possibly Very Interesting or Even if not that at all it still would be interesting to see what other direction it could take.

@@ScribblerProductions101discord ended up causing the most dangerous thing in all of equestria to happen.
while I do have some complaints or points of confusion, possibly because I don't know enough lore about the rainbow factory, I will say i'm very glad that the story didn't turn into a "how dare you, we hate you" after RD attacked rarity. They thought rationally and forgave while RD was overwhelmed in shock and disbelief. After decades of friendship, that was a very realistic interaction. I may also be a little biased with stories with terms such as "insanity", "madness", or "crazy". I just cant see into/understand the insane's mind/actions as much as i would like, can anyone? Regardless, this was an excellent dub full many talented artist, I was invested the entire 2 hours 👍
Yeah, decades of friendship usualy lets someone know that a person IS NOT usualy hyperagressive...to anyone without reason
This was freaking amazing! This was such a cool take/alternate story on Rainbow Factory. The story, the art, the editing, and the voice acting were all incredible! I have so many chills and was screeching with shock and amazement during so many scenes. I can’t believe this hand a cliffhanger too! Like what did Twilight do? And what the heck is going to happen to Scootaloo? The final “Hello Absentia” line freaked me out but also have me soo many goosebumps. Very well done. Good work Scribbler and everyone who bought this video to life
It is sometimes terrifying, but sometimes heartwarming, to think about the fact that a single choice, great or small, can completely change who you are, and who you become
Man, this grimdark project is truly horrifying, spooktacular, and all around amazing! Great work on this audio drama, Scribbler! I feel very sad for Rainbow Dash and the others to experience such horrible moments like this. And that ending kinda made my heart skip a beat. The voice acting and the music was truly a masterpiece!
💀💀😨😨😨😨😱😱😱😱😱😱💕💕💕💕👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻😴😴💤💤💤💤🛌🏻🛌🏻
This was great Scribbler!!! Your hard work paid off here! Loved seeing Rainbow factory Dash again! And it was interesting to see Rainbow come face to face with her evil self. There was so many shocking and well told moments!! Discord should have known better to put Rainbow through that. Now that Factory Dash is in Twilight things will get more dangerous for Scootaloo. Still the same old Factory Dash, heartless, careless, evil, pshycopathic monster she was back in Rainbow Factory. Not one bit of care or love in her. And she enjoys Rainbow's suffering which tells me she hasn't changed a bit like back how she showed no love to Scootaloo after she broke into tears and told her she thought she loved her. This was awesome Scribbler!! I would listen to it again!!! So Scribbler, Friendship is tragic 2 next?
This was an amazing Audio Drama! This was a beautiful grimdark story that really gave me a good set of new goosebumps. I am glad that you made this Halloween special. Thank you all the voice actors and artist for making this awesome Audio Drama amazing.
I just realized this is the second time dash has been tortured in her dreams to the point of near insanity and death in a fanfic this poor pegasus cannot catch a break
I’m beyond excited to see this project finished!! I had an absolute blast being an artist on the team, and absolutely everyone on the team did an amazing job 💜🫶💜 Thanks for having me on
Okay, that mentioning about Discord's prank was clever foreshadowing.
I hadn't expected that.
Well played, Scribbler. Well played, indeed
Although... there's something VERY concerning.
Prime Dash’s memory matched Rainbow Factory Dash’s up to the point those pegasi in suits spoke to her.
Their memories differed from there... but their implications are identical.
1:36:56 wait. *Vice Principal* Trixie?
Did Sunburst have to step down? The heck?
And... the heck is that ending?😱
Gonna need an exorcist.
@@autumbreeze1129 Discord mentioned eariler Twilight using her own magic combined with both chaos and dimensional magic is extremely dangerous, and this was the result. The echo of Factory Dash possessed Twilight and went to locate Scootaloo, given their history in the Rainbow Factory story.
The possessed Twilight called Scootaloo "Absentia" because in one of the many Rainbow Factory stories, Absentia is a older Scootaloo that has no memory of her past life as Scootaloo.
I... wow... holy crap. You can definitely tell the love and dedication put into this whole entire project. From the art, to the visual effects to the voice acting. Everyone gave their all. And I think if you ever think you want to do more of this in the future. I would definitely love to see more.
I love this!! I feel like this could even be a series with other characters being haunted by their “grim dark versions”
That was amazing how you tried everything together like that at the end you made a lot of sense and it was both creepy and amazing
Woah!!! That was a wild ride that i enjoyed every second of. I read the fic when you first posted it on fimfic, and I love how you expanded it. So awesome!
Whoa, that was intense! Scribbler, you and the gang did a very spectacular job! Great job to you all!
Ohh, a Scribbler Rainbow Factory Reading! I can't wait to listen and finish this! I can't believe I was so spaced out to miss the Premiere! Sorry about that. I KNOW this'll be utterly amazing as usual, Scribbler, dear. 🤗
I’m honored to be a part of this. Truly this production is next level!
No words, literally no words. You guys really overdid it this time, congrats! Scribbler, te amo. And i love every person that made this possible to come to life, thank you guys.
P.S: Poor Scootaloo, i was really hoping noting would happen to her, but it was obvious it would be that way, no joke, as i saw the scene progress with Possesed Twilight, i wanted to protect Scootalo.
What's gonna do "Factory Dash" now with the body and power of an Alicorn, all at her will?
Wouldn't surprise me if one of the first thing she does aside from taking out Scootaloo...
She decides to take out the one being capable of stopping her, Discord.. Since he could just banish her from the plan of existence.
I'm thinking using Grogar's bell, given it still exists and Twilight probably had it hidden in a place only she knew and Factory Dash had her body and memories. *Discord would be too powerful otherwise*
Then once removed of his powers, she would slowly and painfully take him apart. Bit by bit.
Saving his parts until she finished building a Pegasus device in this world, to shove them into to drain the spectra that remained.
Fluttershy learns about this a bit soon as she finishes the device, feeling sad she never got to see discord again. She'd go full psycho on twilight, ending up causing the possessed twilight to fall into the very device after Fluttershy manages to break her wings.
She'd beg for Fluttershy to be kind and help her, only for Fluttershy to be all "Letting you die... Would be the kindest thing I could do for twilight."
Maybe fluttershy gets arrested for murdering her, gets jailed, but gets haunted by the memories of the dark universes and possibly the ghost trying to possess her. She'd keep it at bay, but it would still torture her till her final days.. Sad and alone.
Wow! I've been looking forward to this since the casting call video, and I am beyond impressed with how this turned out! Congrats to all of you, especially the newcomers. Scribbler, you put together a masterpiece even with all the trials of this year. You are a force to be reckoned with!
Every detail of this was amazing, and I personally really enjoyed the references to the other grimdarks!
Although it might not happen and it's alright if it doesn't, the thing I want the most out of this audio drama is a deep conversation between the 2 Rainbow Dash's.
From what I remember of what I read or heard of this story, Rainbow Factory Rainbow Dash argues why despite everything she sacrificed, the other Rainbow Dash has a better life. I'd like to see how the other Rainbow Dash would tackle that.
This is amazing! Scribbler you have the best Fanon vs Canon reading ever!
This was insane! Omg such a crazy spin on rainbow factory and then the ending just wow!
This was phenomenal! Felt like I was watching a good movie the whole time. The production quality was next level, especially the credits. I know scribbler said she wasn’t planning on making it a series unless enough people asked for it. I am absolutely one of those people 🙏
Red hot turbo chargers, that was horrifying! Great job with this Grimdark, and I'm starting to question why the writers of MLP decided to reform Discord if they knew he would almost always mess things up.
Can we all PLEASE appreciate how well Lost adds manic insanity so perfectly to Rainbow?! 🥺👌❤️
Also FOR FUCKS SAKES call Cadance, Celestia and Luna we need to put Twilight down by force before she kills the mayority of the pegasi population
it's so well done. im eager to see more of this story. i really liked it, congrats scribller and team. shutout to all artists and vas envolved as well. damn, really good as always.
Holy macarol.
That is one of the most powerful stories I've heard all year.
And the climax of the story is absolutely mind-boggling.
Well done everyone!
This is absolutely terrifying and very much enjoyable ☺️
all of the art in this is absolutely fucking gorgeous!!! big thanks to all the artists for the wonderful visuals!
Amazing work on this video. This really gave me the goosebumps while watching the video and I really loved seeing both Applejack and Rainbow Dash together. I hope you and everyone keep up the amazing work you do.
Im so excited to check this out. :D by the thumbnail and this being by scribbler, know it's gonna be good
Animators and voice actors amazing as always, but the editors really made this extra special, felt overwhelmingly good at the "crazy" parts, had to pause and catch myself. Don't know how to feel about the shift when Disorder came, it is on character, but I don't know..Edit: Rewatching this, reminds me of a lot of people mentioning Disorder as some sort of solution to the problem, when he actually appears here.. [Spoiler alert!]
Things are worse.. in fact he did not get involved, maybe just maybe it wouldn't have been as worse, mentally transferred evil RD to Twi.. I wonder if RD was the first victim of this, or the others are just better at hiding it... Really hoping for some sort of continuation of this, doesn't need to exactly follow what we left off here, but another victim perhaps..? : )
Hoping it's Fluttershy or Rarity, I barely see any attention to their evil counterparts, Pattycakes and Lil Miss Rares are dope, AJ finally getting the attention she has, Twi already taken, and Pinkie's just overdone to this point.
Thank you! I was the only editor for all the audio and visuals aside from the end credits. :)
Thank you for letting me do art for this! Everyone involved was so talented! ❤
dude! the ending! my personal headcannon is the echo was barely holding on in twilight's mind long enough for one last "job"
Makes sense really, it seemed to mostly dissipate and I'm pretty sure the sheer magic of twilight would overwhelm it with how little would have gotten into twilight as it was COVERING THE ENTIRE ROOM. So it barely being enough to temporarily take over twilight kinda makes sense...and it's what I want to happen.
I LOVE Rainbow Factory! It's one of my favorite grimdarks aside from Something Sweet To Bite! Can't wait for this!
1:20:16 I love the vampilance and puppet to her frame ref in this one as their both my fave grimdarks on your yt? channel
Damn that ending though? I doubt this will get a sequel, but imagine just how bad it is that RF Rainbow managed to take over Twilight of all people
Better late than never, i look forward to this belated Halloween reading special.
Wow, that was an amazing audio drama, #Scribbler, who It serves as a tribute to the typical old creepypasta known by this fandom ((besides leaving me speechless too XD 😬). Great work!!! 👍
This was amazing plot characters interactions and how they react to evil parallel worlds of choices and consequences of choices made. One choice could change alot of history one choice could lead to someone you don't recognize has yourself because of 1 choice can be all thats needed to ruin yourself or others.
In the grim darkness of the far future there is only friendship!
Seeing Twilight's warped visage was bad enough. My mind immediately went to "The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle" until the "OH BUCK!" moment the name "Absentia" was uttered😱
can someone give me context
Can I have context please
@kristinaespe385 Absentia or The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle ?
@@CharybdisM0ns absentia
@@kristinaespe385 Absentia is what Rainbow Factory Dash calls Rainbow Factory Scootaloo.
Holy wow this is amazing! the art and voice acting are spot on!
The real question is since the future was decided by rainbow dash saying no to working in the weather factory that means the rainbow factory still exists in the main universe just under different management who runs the factory In the main universe?
This.... was.... interesting.
I love it. Had me on edge for quite a while listening to it, and the voice acting and art is top tier as always.
It works perfectly as a standalone story, even with the cliffhanger ending. But now i need to see what happens next: Will possesed Twilight somehow perfect the dark multiversal magic and summon all of her friends's grimdark opposites? Would middle aged AJ survive against her Sleep Deprived opposite? Would Fluttershy be able to stomach the gruesomeness of her butterfly obsessed self? Will Pinkie Pie shutter in horror as she learns the secret ingredient of her grimdark's.... cupcakes?
Maybe im rambling, idk...
Great story. Keep up the good work, everypony 💯
Man we better get a sequel to this. Especially with that ending.
OOH!!! 6 HOURS YAY!!!
I am very excited, may I just say it is 100% hype to see this pop up in my YT feed!!! Hope to make it in chat! Thanks!!!
I wouldn’t be opposed to seeing more of this…either with Overmare (for simplicity) taking over each of the main six, or the magic turning into the alternate versions of whoever it possesses; Researcher Twilight, Pinkamina, Little Mis Rarity, Butchershy (or ANY dark Fluttershy, there’s surprisingly a lot of them) and whatever dark counterpart Applejack has
10 years in the making this was awesome also slightly disturbing lol but some advice dont be eating while watching something with blood in it lol it will kill your appetite
That ending was spooky, I really hope scootaloo ends up okay
Imagine this but with the others have the same problem too. Can't wait to Pinkie Pie meeting her cupcakes counterpart
I love the art style from the few minutes and this story was so cool and it’s interesting I was scared and worried i’m really fascinated by the story to be honest. I’m thinking going to draw a few of the characters.
I know I'm a month late but I just wanna say that I absolutely love the "wracked by the grief of a lifetime she had *not* chosen, and the children she had *not* murdered" line. It hits me hard every single time. It's such a strong and raw line that gives me a feeling that I don't know I can describe other than a simple: *Damn.*
Holy crap. Scrib this is amazing! Never stop. I loved every second of it! ❤
It's a pretty simple concept it's basically just seeing memories of another living thing. Like a dream or a life not lived knowing something without knowing something.
It is said that dreams might be windows into the lives of our multiverse counterparts
Wow, that was a true grimdark ending right there. Does anyone want a sequel of what happens next? Because that is too much of an interesting idea.
I cant belive we have to put up warnings now because of drama youtubers making a big deal out of it but they themselves are okay with playing horror games that are +18 and dont do the warning knowing all to well that their audience is a bunch of lil kids.
Also i love the video :D
Isn't a bad ending what we've witnessing? Or there might be more?
Dashie needs some hugs for what she have been through but holy that was a scary story. All the participants did a great work! Guess Twilight will be next..
Welp I guess everyone dies then
You guys cooked so hard I think might best mlp fanfic on TH-cam
"ink sans" : The grimdark au's stories spread throughout the realities at an alarming speed... We need to do something... It could be dangerous for the lives of infinities of lives...
"Leo / thxStarlight" : agree... The multiverse is in danger... And us guardians we're going to fix it...
[ to be continued in the mlpverse... ]
((ok now for real... this is trully hype, i loved it since the end of it and i know i don't comment much on TH-cam since i'm kinda shy... But i do love... No adore !! what you and lostnarrator magpiepony and the rest doing... You inspired me a lot... And i wouldn't never be engouth Thankfull for dropping bangers such as this one... that's why...
As a beginner french artist, big lover of multiversal stories and it's concept, mlp and horrors, i must do a comic about it and include it on my multiversal adventures... An uncanon one to this, where me, my oc guardian of the multiverse go to the grimdark stories and well... you guess it do they job... Only for the pleasure of drawing like usual, no for money since i still don't know how that works and because that's not my goal... or the rest... Just for full pleasure since i like drawing a lot... And i will mention you and the others artist... Like i did with princewhateverer and way more... But I'll probably do that after i finish the ones i'm making on Twitter with epictale and flawless redemption arc... Anyway that’s all for me i love you're work i'm a great fan x3 even if i don't talk much I'll look forwards to see what new videos you'll make !!.. I also hope there will be A sequel to this one >w< it would be so awsome !! 💕💖💓... Sorry too for my english can do mistakes and that comment is long... Ur great keep the good work ! Love u))
ThxStarlight...

This story was so worth coming 2nd place for well done. Loved the opening to it, very Rainbow factory vibs.
Ok is obviously a one shot! But AFTER THAT ENDING?! A part 2 is needed cause holy crap that is terrifyingly good!!
Holy moly, I'm in shock.
