Interpreting the Real World for IN

[ISNorden]

Given the "cocaine psychosis" allegation, I'm betting on a Shedite of Drugs who somehow acquired a Need for human flesh. (Discord manifests in some seriously twisted ways with that Band...)

Oh Jean, you really have to work on your subtlety...

*heh*
I think the Outcast Kyriotate of Lightning who was hiding in the rock got the worst sort of celestial intervention on her stealth attempt while waiting for her infernal contact.

Over on Bob Schroeck's forums, we play a game called Crossovers That Should Not Be. "Azunth" came up with this one: "My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic / In Nomine"

In one corner, Pinkie Pie, party pony and Element of Laughter. Humor used to banish fear, sustain through suffering and hardship. The simple act of cheering people up. In the other corner, Kobal, Demon Prince of Dark Humor. Laughter that lets people ignore and enjoy the suffering of others, rather than their own. Every cruel joke at the expense of another. Their eyes narrow with instinctive hate, knowing that the words they bear are anathema to one another.

This is no prank war. This is a deadly serious battle over the fate of all funny business. Be careful what you laugh at- you might just tip the balance in a way you don't expect.

So why am I posting this in this thread? Maybe Nybbas and Kobal have had a recent falling-out, and the show is Media's way of taking a shot at Dark Humor... or maybe somebody's finally broken a chink in Nybbas' control over his own Word by making a show with an anti-Kobol element a smash hit...

My Little Pony: Friendship is Sorcery.

The sheer amount of fan energy hurled at the show has almost certainly created an Ethereal Domain of Equestria, but it's not likely to last long beyond the show's run. Nor are the characters likely to be allowed openly on Earth any time soon by Heaven, and they just don't strike me as being amenable to any but the best-disguised proposals from Hell. It is entirely plausible, then, that some enterprising Sorcerers would propose that the Mane Six stabilize themselves by binding as familiars. Power and security through friendship? Makes perfect sense!

The natural Affinities are Beasts (ponies) and their various Emotion strands, with Twilight taking Glamour or a similar Magic-like affinity. Dash would have an additional element of Speed, and Fluttershy's Beast strand is probably stronger than the others'. (No, I don't think Jordi would like her; she possesses an extremely humanized ideal of animal nature.) Whether the Elements of Harmony exist as artifacts is uncertain, though if they did I can easily see them as being kept by Blandine, to be requested for emergencies.

(Blandine, taking Celestia as an ethereal icon? Gee, can't at all imagine that, can I. ^_^ )

this is so wrong...

and yet, strangely seductive...

Plus, they're all celebrating friendship and community, so it wouldn't even be a stretch for Stone to have opened negotiations behind the scenes.
