When I was a few years younger I did a lot of lion king work and it's sorta what formed my style so it makes sense that it would show itself in my other drawings

You could even pace yourself by publishing small chapters once or twice a week while working on the next.
Build up a little following.

Most people do just that at fimfiction.com
Most stories exist out multiple chapters.

'And this is why burning things down is so awesome!'

You know how vampires and such are weak against fire? Everything is weak against fire.
Except things made of fire, or aren't flammable. But generally, unless/until you learn otherwise, always assume something is weak against fire.
But if you try using fire against a fire elemental, you get what's coming to you.
Fire good...
π: 0 β©: 1
But if you use enough fire you can choke the elemental o air and fuel and it will starve to death.
Mind, actually burning a body takes a long LONG time, you won't believe how long it takes to dispose of 100Kg of squishy person. HOURS!
Unless you have a big fire.

Aren't most people a good deal lighter than 220 pounds?
I apologize for using Imperial measurements. I am American.
And I think I know what the ponisona you created for me looks like:
[link]
π: 0 β©: 1
Well according to a recent study the average American mass is 86Kg (Average global 62Kg) so you're right! but ponies are heavier.
And yes, that's pretty close to what I imagine you, yes.

"I'm not saying it was aliens humans changelings... but it was aliens humans changelings."
Okay, so there's changeling infiltrators, robot infiltrators... What's next? My money is on Deep One sea pony hybrids.
π: 0 β©: 1
No no, the deep ones infiltrate via the ziggers zebras.
Few know that when Lovecraft wrote about them he was hinting at miscegenation. (Interbreeding with black people! Ewww!) Them strange people from a weird country with their... different-ness!
The zebras will doom us all to a race of mutant hybrids! Snails is our future if we don't act now!
π: 0 β©: 1
I know what the parallels were. Generally, I don't think Lovecraft's brand of horror has aged well. We know a whole lot more about the universe than we did in the twenties, and so far no one's been driven to madness by the horrible truth of man's utter insignificance.
And Snails is Canadian, remember?
π: 0 β©: 1
I think Lovecraft's brand of horror *can* be aged well; if anything it's more relevant today, for those who *do* know more about the universe. H.P. wrote from an atheist viewpoint, there was no kind, loving God there to take care of you when you die or make the world just, instead there was a cold, unfeeling universe filled with things we can't even comprehend and with us being mere specks, to be wiped out on a whim. (H.P. rather disliked the later additions of elder gods to his mythos, Chtulu and co were not gods, but 'things' that we could not hope to name of understand.)
We know now the universe is so huge. We thought out galaxy was it, it's one in billions. The scope of the universe in size and time is astounding; we can *say* we understand what a billion is, but we don't really, there's nothing we can compare it to, we're forced to fall back on things like 'If the earth was a grapefruit...' Many scientists wonder if our brains can handle a theory of everything, the math and abstraction involved. We deal *now* with imaginary numbers multiple dimensions and things that were considered downright ridiculous back in the day. (Few know Alice in Wonderland was written by a mathematician in part to make fun of the new math he hated.)
If there is other life out there, it isn't going to be like us, it may not be anything we even recognize as life. As we see now what we can do with computers, the tenacity of life, the oddness of astronomical environments, do we know what inhabits the darkness between stars?
Canada has a lot of zebras, they blend in with the black tree trunks and white snow.

My point about no one caring about our cosmic meaninglessness still stands. Besides, we won't know what's out there 'til we find it. Personally, I've always been a bigger fan of Star Trek's approach to the vastness of the cosmos...
"It's a magical world, Hobbes, ol' buddy... Let's go exploring!"
Wow, this went in a weirder direction than I thought it would. Um... how's about the implications of this ?
π: 0 β©: 1
Perhaps, perhaps, but I think no horror is applicable to everyone. Certainly it's a better environment I feel for someone to come with a fresh look than previously. Remember Alien? Jaws? What was scary was we never did see much of the monster, the blank was more scary than anything they could depict. I have seen some awesome stuff in that vein, notably an interesting short story about a man living in a deep space monitoring station, it was all in his head (Or was it?!) and the scary thing was just the blackness of space.
I note Calvin has never explored under his bead.
And it's obvious that link proves MLP and The Little Mermaid share a universe. (Chrysalis for Ursula!) She'll turn to sea foam next morning.
π: 0 β©: 1
Because he knows for a fact that the things down there want to eat him.
I know this nothing to do with Little Mermaid, but I'm imagining (and loving the image of) after the wedding wraps up, Cadence getting to work on a pair of prosthetic hooves and a little skateboard-type thing that attaches to her tail.

'I have considered your request at length princess and I believe it IS possible, but I lack the experience to craft you such a thing. However, we have an expert at wheeled conveyances and unusual locomotion styles in Ponyville and I have invited her here today to see if we can't fit you with something. Princess, may I present... Ms Scootaloo!'
π: 0 β©: 1
I was actually thinking of Cadence making them herself IN A CAVE! WITH A BOX OF SCRAPS!, Iron Man-style.
π: 0 β©: 1
And then bombing Ponyville.
But only taking out Fluttershy's house and Scootaloo's lair. Odd.
π: 0 β©: 1
Wait, her skateboard-thing is also an artillery tractor?
π: 0 β©: 1
Of course, she made it in a CAVE from a box of SCRAPS! You can't do that and NOT weaponize something.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah.
So, seeing as how you brought up the theory (actually a fact, and medicating me won't change that) that Fluttershy's a changeling, we still hadn't determined whether Angel would be a bitch about it when he found out, and if so, how much of a bitch he'd be.
π: 0 β©: 1
Medication can do ANYTHING! It made me sane, for a while anyway. Angel is a bitch anyway, I rank him as second biggest MLP douche next to Ace. (Screw you Ace, seriously.) The question is whether it's possible for him to be a bigger bitch and whether Fluttershy being a changeling would do that.
I doubt Angel would care; it doesn't matter whether she's a pony or a changeling or a basilisk, as long as he gets something out of the deal. Possibly if she was persecuted he'd join in so he could get her stuff later, but as long as there were still carrots in the offing he'd back her up 100%
In fact I'm sure I saw a picture... *searches*
OH GOD! WHY IS THERE A PAGE OF BUNNY!SHY\ANGEL PORN?! I DIDN'T WANT TO SEE THAT!
π: 0 β©: 1
You saw that because the devil only gives power at a terrible price.
And who of the other five might Flutterling trust the most to keep her secret?
π: 0 β©: 1
There's no Fluttershy-Angel support pics, but dozens of slash pics? That does it, the brony community is no longer about friendship.
Knowing the show, Shyling would not trust ANYPONY. We've seen before how she has to be pushed to reveal things, and something of this magnitude she'd want to hide with aplomb. I could see an episode where her disguise starts breaking down and she comically tries to hide it, a reverse of the situation with Pinkie's party. This would leave lots of room for humorous coverups, which would only fuel suspicion among the other five. This would probably end with a 'we like you no matter what you are' moment if it were a one episode thing, but a panic and chase her away from Ponyville moment if it were a two parter. (THEN would come regret and looking for Shy.)
The only pony I can see NOT panicking would be Pinkie. (She COULD panic the most out of all of them, or she could be all like 'Oh, ok. Eh, you're still Shy.')

What's it about? Pain?
And seeing as how you mentioned Scootaloo back there as well... We have Apple Blank, Sweetie Bot, and now Scootling. Think this fandom could handle a timeskipped Hellboy/Avengers-esque thing staring those three?
π: 0 β©: 1
It's about corrupting the innocent.
And for that reason, the fandom would LOVE that sort of thing. It would collectively orgasm at its inception.
π: 0 β©: 1
Just imagine the sort of things that could happen in this scenario. Deep One Sea pony hybrids infiltrating and sabotaging the government in preparation for the flooding of the surface world, Thrackerzod jumping from body to body while working on a ritual that will allow it to assume its full power in this plane, a prisoner uprising in Tartarus placing the inmates in control of its vault (this is how I will imagine Tartarus unless the show shows otherwise: [link] )... and the only ones who can put an end to any of that shit are a zombie, a robot, and a fairy.
Pose as a team, you three. 'Cause shit just got real.
π: 0 β©: 1
You know, the elements are a rather crappy way of solving things. I mean, *I* could take over Equestria, all I'd need to do I tell Fluttershy there was a wounded bunny down the old well. (Or on the other side of Everfree or trapped in the chloroform box.) Once one is out, the rest are powerless.
Also, Thrackerzod is on our side in that it is rather interested in this plane of reality. The poor thing is claustrophobic and rather enjoys stuffing itself into just three spatial and one time dimension, it makes life so much more easy to deal with.
And I think this quote on Tartarus comes readily to mind: But the worst, most horrifying creatures were kept on the lowest level, in perpetual darkness and silence broken only by their mad, endless gibbering. They were not powerful, by the standards of mythical beasts, for their menace did not lie in that domain. They were not evil inasmuch as they had no morals, no sense of right or wrong whatsoever, they lacked the complexity to even conceive of them. They transcended definitions of 'alive' or 'dead', 'good' or 'evil' and fiercely resisted all attempts to understand or communicate with them.
They did not mind their entrapment for they possessed no notions of time or space or boredom or anger. They did not tire or cease or feel despair at their situation as the probed endlessly at the walls of reality, seeking release. They were dangerous for a whole other reason, for even the briefest contact with them would rapidly turn any thinking pony's brain into just so much greyish-pink mush.
There was no plaque on the door that held them, no name to identify what Equestria had long ago agreed was best left forgotten. Those few, so very few who knew of this place and by some sad quirk of psychology actually dared visit it knew it only by the obscure runes carved into the restraining spells: 'G3.5' (Discworld Equestria, Chap 1.)
π: 0 β©: 1
You mean agoraphobic. Claustrophobia is fear of enclosed spaces.
And that shit is what Tartarus' inmates are using as a deterrent. They've learned where in the vault section of Tartarus the G3.5 ponies are kept. If any attack is made against them, they break those enchantments, and the world ends. The concept of Mutually Assured Destruction has come to whatever world Equestria is on.
And now, the inmates (led by a fleshcrafter based on Hannibal Lecter) need to come up with demands. They're kinda taking this one step at a time, you see...
And to prove he isn't bluffing when he says he'll let the contents of Room G3.5 out into the world, Hannibal pony pulls up a mindless husk that was once one of Tartarus' guards. It just keeps muttering "Cool beans..." over and over.
