Okay y’all, this discussion has moved beyond being relevant to the image, which is merely noting that the fanfic Past Sins will be ten years old next month. This sort of discussion of merits of it vs the show and of certain characters is much better suited to our forums, particularly the Unpopular Opinion thread in the Pony forums.
 
Thanks y’all.

Most people will use any excuse to hate on Nyx or Past Sins because “it’s an alicorn oc” or “i hate mary sues”
 
When since Season 1, the show has added at least 3 more alicorns. And despite complaints about the fanfiction writing characters “out of character” it has done a fairly good job at portraying how characters would act in situations before the show did. Things like Zecora being the central storyteller for a Ponyville festival, like Nightmare Night, or how when Twilight is under pressure she fails to inform her mentor out of fear. Which happened in Lesson Zero.
 
That’s not mentioning the whole thing of people slapping her with the term “Mary Sue” while giving Starlight a free pass because “Well Starlight is canon so it’s ok when they do it.”

This is very strange allegation considering that Nyx is the only OC with significant fan-base and “Past Sins” is the only English-language fan-fic which I think is real literature.
 
In 2021, its laughably cliche
 
In 2021 bronies can’t create anything like that because they lost any sence of MLP itself. In fact they can’t create anything except copying season 1 ideas.
 
And literally everything uses some cliche because cliche works. The only problem it’s not so easy to use it right.
 
And yes “Past Sins” is very close to MLP itself with only few rule changings. In fact it’s MLP Advanced Version.

the irony is most people hate past sins, yet love the show when it does the same tropes.

One month??? It can’t have taken just one month to pen a full-length novel!
