Mane 6 reacting to grimdark fics of themselves

[heavens-champion 1,905]

How would the Man6 react to fanfiction that portrays them as murderous and insane?

Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy would be scarred for life. Rainbow Dash and Applejack would be unnerved but then they would remind everyone that it's just fanfiction and move on. Rarity would faint and later she would try to pretend that the incident never happened. Twilight would hyperventilate and Spike would have to calm her down because she would undoubtedly remember Lesson Zero...

I recommend reading "Pinkie Pie Reads Cupcakes" and its followups by Musapan on Deviantart. It's

Much lighter than the source material

Well, I don't know about some of the others, but for Pinkie Pie...

 

EDIT: Hehe, this is what @WiiGuy2014 was talking about.

They would be upset that someone would depict them as such.

They would not like it. While I do support the idea of fan fiction, if the rest of us find grimdark upsetting or unnerving, then Mane Six in some fantasy world scenario where they could take a look at it, would either find it creepy or humorous depending on the context, Rainbow Dash would probably laugh at it, but she does have her limits, I don't know about the other five.

Twilight Sparkle may find it offensive, same thing with Applejack, Fluttershy and Rarity.

Pinkie Pie, she'd be frightened off by it most likely.
