Wow, quite dark  
For a sequel of Proyect Horizonts and being edited by Somber, I am not totally surprised.
 
Or is less darker? Now I could be impressed.

@E-123  
In a way, but it’s also quite dark. The new chapter is something different, an origin story

@Wiimeiser  
Oh you reading that fic?  
It is good?

The new Speak chapter feels like the backstory of Pink Eyes at the start, if Trixie was involved. Which reminds me, this picture, and Puppysmiles has Bradycardia.

Has anyone read the FOE fic Fallout Equestra: Starlight?
 
Its been a while since its being featured a lot in the wiki page.

I wonder who some characters might be descendants of… I already showed Blossom (from Ask Taint Fare) could be descended from Skeedaddle, but who else is there? Threnody looks a lot like Sandy Hooves except she’s a pegasus, so would they be distantly related somehow?

@E-123  
Yeah, ever since the movie, we have a solid understanding of what would happen if there was a broken horn.
 
That would be a good way to telling that a stable dweller is nothing without their Pipbuck in the wasteland.

@Coldfire the Bat  

 
Well thanks to the movie, we already know a broken horn doesnt mean a completely lost of use of magic, but it just becomes volatile and unstable.
 
And in my opinion, a new inspiring vault dweller wasterlander’s main weakness is the removal of its Pipbuck. This needs to be implemented in new fics as a “Welcome to the wastelander’s true life” from the villain.

@Coldfire the Bat  
Apparently one filly wears her Pipbuck on her hind leg:  

@E-123  
I’m not too sure what aspect they wanted to take it from but then again, I suppose those kinds of scenes speak louder than some humor being tossed in.
 
I was always wondering how it would affect their ability to do their magic or even telekinesis.
 
Yeah, considering that the Pipbuck is such a crutch for the user.

@Coldfire the Bat  
That’s the kind of humor I am talking about, but people forgets about it and prefers to insert raw brutal rape scenes, suicide problems and existencial crisis.
 
Also speaking of telekinesis, its surprising that I haven’t read one time where destroying the horn of a unicorn/alicon makes it unable to use it at full control permanently.
 
Or an enemy getting rid of one character’s Pipbuck, considering such character depends so much of that Pipbuck. Is like being new into Fallout 3 and selecting Hardcore mode, not capable of using VATS and going around with no HUD at all.

@E-123  
That is done right.

@Coldfire the Bat  

 
One good example done right was in the original FOE fic, with that battle with the mutant alicorn.  
All the build up with “serious-looking” villain and only to get impaled with a skull seconds later cuz it forgot how broken Telekinesis is in the FOE universe

@E-123  
Even PH had at least one joke, even though it made a filly cry…

@E-123  
I mean I would say, what can you do to make it a dash of humor without it being so… blatant? I mean putting humor for the sake of putting humor off of a checklist isn’t going to cut it obviously.
 
Anyways, I do have some agreement that FoE fics at least the way I’ve heard and seen, have been angstly serious without any form of humor. I mean it’s fine if you want to put in some serious stuff but… a bit of lightening up can help as long as it’s within reason for that lightening up to exist and have some relief for both the characters and the reader themselves.

Ugh, I think the Fallout fans are kinda right, the fact that almost every writer is now using way more darker elements in their fics is now getting tiresome.
 
The Fallout games where unique with their unique black touch of humor that shouldnt be taken seriously, but now in every recent FoE fic everything should be taken angstly serious.

I wonder if I should write a “Fantastic Voyage” parody set inside Littlepip, called “Big Trouble in Littlepip”…

I’m browsing the Fallout Equestria tag on here and I seem to like the environment art and posters. Sort of sets the mood of the world, depending when it takes place.

@E-123  
Makes sense, I went with the idea that Twilight never became a princess
 
Also, in The N-Team Ƥoni Puppysmiles exists in the main N-Verse where Twilight became a princess, and she’s named after pony Puppysmiles

@Wiimeiser
 
I usually like to replace the Littlehorn School with the now School of Friendship from the cartoon. Different creatures study there, and we already seen how very delicate is about the well-being of their student. Heck, just because some of their students went missing, each leader of each kingdom was already screaming “WAR” at each another
 
Imagine if the massacre happens there. Each leader would start to blame each another.

@E-123  
I figure since it depends in Shining Armor not existing (His existence was created so abruptly PonyPOV did an entire arc explaining that he shouldn’t exist and only hasn’t been erased because he’s married to Cadance) that a timeline split migh be necessary. In my case, Blossomforth misses breakfast on the day of the tryouts in Hurricane Fluttershy, which somehow leads to the events of Dragon Quest not happening or happening differently as such that Twilight’s wedding invitation isn’t destroyed, thus she thinks nothing of “Deceptive Cadence” and Shiny ends up marrying Chrysalis instead. Thus, the Crystal Empire never returns (makes sense for its princess being married to be what gets it unsealed, right?) and it just so happens what’s now Sunburst’s house is where Starswirl’s unfinished spell was located. Thus, Twilight never needed to fix her friends’ cutie marks, thus she never became an alicorn. Without the CMC being taught by self-duty-bound Twilight to suck up to, the CMC would never learn of Diamond Tiara’s good side, and thus, after she loses the election, the CMC ignore her out of spite. Thus, they never get their canon cutie marks, and Apple Bloom’s passion for building isn’t replaced with a passion for dancing as a result. Subsequently, she builds Luna’s school and its faulty turrets which proceed to cause the Littlehorn Massacre. Celestia resigns in shame, Luna takes over, and whatshisname from Project Horizons uses Luna’s promotion as an excuse to fuel a war against Equestria in response to Littlehorn, by exploiting the fact that zebras have an incurable congenital phobia of the stars in the night sky (Which explains why Zecora lives in the Everfree Forest) due to the fact zebras IRL have an incurable congenital phobia of humans, which went extinct eons ago.

We actually had a conversation about this pages ago. I mentioned how writers would apply all the other seven seasons in a FoE story, which includes new species, places and significant changes (Discord being good, Twilicorn, etc).
 
FoE became popular for three things: The timing (MLP was as its peek of popularity), the poorly made restrictions of Equestria Daily and its well written Season 1 world building. That last thing it was makes FoE really unique. Kkat made a “What If” universe that was very interesting to see, and today now people now sees this fic as a “Blast of the Past”, a classic, something that it shouldn’t be changed at all, and because of this, very few people will consider applying the changes in their fics.
 
Leaving it as it is probably does make more sense than trying to finagle it.
 
One would need to totally recreate the FoE universe to fit it in modern seasons, a thing that almost nobody is asking. But I wouldn’t mind reading a fic that fits all elements of the new seasons with this sub-fandom.
 
I dont think it would be hard to do it, you could even just replace some elements from new ones and there would be no difference at all. Some user here (I think its called Vrre) posted a synopsis from his future fic, and nailed it really good with new features from most recent seasons.

@Philweasel  
That’s good, now I just need to continue reading it. Also need to finish Speak and Heroes… (I’ve read all of Speak so far, but it’s not finished…)
 
EDIT: Those extra 666 words tho

 
 
…I finally have my life back! The last chapter of Fallout Equestria - Black and White is finally done!

So with the introduction to all of these species and races we’ve had since the time in which FoE was written, how would they fit into the universe or even have some effect that could have been a bit different if FoE was written much later?
