If Twilight Sparkle were to make you lonely/upset/cry...

[Akemi Homura 7,681]

This is a depressing scenario I like to create in my head. Hope it isn't too bad.

 

 

Imagine this:

 

You are a young stallion living in Ponyville with no family, no friends, and not known very well. Your parents died at a young age, and you've been living with your uncle and aunt since then - but once you grew old enough, they sent you away because they could not keep supporting another person, much less an adult. You know next-to-nothing about friendship, but are a kind-hearted pony. Did I mention you are not well-known? Not even Pinkie Pie can make heads or tails of your existence, as you are reclusive and shy to approach other ponies. But you are not a Fluttershy; you're more nervous than her, more self-concious than her, and do not have the joy of friendship that drives Fluttershy around and keeps her sane.

 

You admire Twilight Sparkle and her ability to understand and make new friends wherever she may go, and are secretly a big fan of the Mane 6, to the point where you have a crush on her... however, the first time you met her, she did not seem to want to talk to you. The following days you attempted to approach her again, but she becomes increasingly annoyed by your presence. You attempt to brave up and talk to other Mane 6, but it appears that they've been informed of you and they try to avoid you as well. You hang your head in sadness and disappointment, feeling that they really don'y want to be around you, but you decide to make it up to Twilight somehow.

 

When the day comes, you spot her near Sweet Apple Acres, just a few meters outside of the entrance. You approach her, and she seems annoyed by your presence once again. Uneasy, you try to talk to her by handing her presents and putting forth your best smile. Becoming even more angry, however, she tells you to go away and to stop trying to talk to her. You ask her why in a nervous tone and she outright says she does not like you... which you become taken really aback by. Uttering the words "but I'm lonely...", she finally responds with "you deserve to be lonely, in that case", and storms off to her library.

 

You come to the sudden realization that you really are lonely. You realize that not even the Element of Magic wants to be your friend. How do you react? What do you think Twilight would do afterwards?

 

I'll finish off my stuff with I'd be shocked like all hell afterwards and that was just a direct blow to my psyche. How did I ever deserve this kind of treatment from someone I think highly of?

[Smokey the mudkip 52]

i would be devastated! but that has happened to me before ^^" but of course, not with ponies X3 i'd probably just continue to lonely, friendless life and probably try not to talk to anyone else, in case it happens again.

[Shiki 5,857]

Welp, this pretty much explains my entire life in a nutshell, just with ponies. :foreveralone:

Nah, just kidding.

 

It's a bit hard for me to speculate how I would react if this happened to me, because I really do not get lonely to begin with. If anyone were to get really mad at me, I would assume something is making them upset, and that maybe I was actually just being annoying. Rather than be upset about it, I would try and fix whatever is the problem. I would probably ask her if something was wrong the next day, so she had time to cool down, and if I still got the raging response, I'd just never talk to her again, because if I really did admire her, I'd believe her when she would say I deserved to be lonely, and I would sort of accept it, because she's the one that said it, and then the only thing I would want is for her to be happy SO I WOULD BE WILLINGLY FOREVER ALONE AND NEVER TALK TO ANYONE AGAIN AND THEN IF SHE WAS STILL MAD I WOULD GO KILL MYSELF BUT IF SHE DIDN'T WANT THAT I WOULD DO WHATEVER IT IS THAT WOULD PLEASE HER AND THEN *KABOOM*

Are you sure twilight does this? Because if so I don't think we're thinking about the same twilight sparkle. In which case, I would go on an adventure to find the real twilight sparkle and fluttershy and applejack!

[Cocodrillo 1,566]

Well. Being a girl, I think I could make it up. Also.. I have an experience with this so let´s do it.

I´d go home in tears. But being with her is all I want, or at least she talking to me is, so I won´t give up. The first step is to ignore her - or more like, not ignore her, but not to pay attention to her (this only will get girls attention, trust me). After the weeks in depression, I´d start to work on myself; especially work on things we both, she and I, like. I´d start to work on a biochemistry-tech project, so I have to research a lot (in books). My house would be surronded by chemistry smell which would sure bring some attention. All of my work would somehow refer to her, but she would be the only one who could see that. The project would be aimed to help the enviroment and animals, which would grab Fluttershy´s attention. She´d come to ask me about all that smell. I´d tell her about the project, especially about the animal-part of it, so she can talk about it. In my free time, I´d go to practice my flying (because I´m a Pegasus, ofc). I´d met Rainbow Dash, the pony of my dreams.. WAIT, I HAVE TO LOVE TWILIGHT, GEE. Watching me flying around the clouds would grab her attention, and in all her and my competitiveness, she´d ask me to race her. We´d spend some time together in the clouds, and racing like this everyday, we´d become close friends, so she´d talk about me as about "soooo awesome". Having RD as a close friend gives me agility, strenght and speed, so I could visit Apple Farm. Finding AJ working alone, I´d ask if she minds my help. She´d probably say that she doesn´t need any help, but my loyal friend Rainbow Dash would be here for me, she´d say "Hey, you wanted me to help you 5 mins ago and was angry I´ve been too busy with nap!" which makes AJ accept my help. My kicks are swift and my wings are useful too, so all the work is done very early. AJ would be surprised, says thanks. I´d say "it´s not a big deal, just ask anytime you´d like to have a helping hoof", so she can talk about me as about a good guy. With Fluttershy, Applejack and Rainbow Dash talking about me, it wouldn´t take long until Pinkie comes to make a friend. I´d accept, so she can plan a party.. and talk about it. Still working on my project, it would take some time until I get to know Rarity. But her fashion design and my art go hand in hand. She´d like to make a special party dress for herself, but everything she has seems already used, old.. I´d grab a paint brush and make a beautiful colourful, but stylish patterns. She´d love it, so she can talk about it. The party is about to get started. Pinkie would force Twilight to go there, and she´d realize she actually wants to come. I´d act naturally all the time. Wearing my safety goggles and lab coat, I´d make a presentation about my biochemistrytech project. I´d see her totally melting and then she´d come and say "Hello." so I could say "Hey" aswell. She´d say "I don´t know what to say. I mean, there´s a lot of things to say, but..." "I understand". So we´d smile on each other and spend a year and a half of beautiful talking about nonsenses and laughing, living a dream.

 

After that time, she´d start to change. She´d stop loving books, science, dreams. Everything she´d ever liked would mean nothing to her. I´d start to feel I´m loosing her. All she´d care about are just looks, a "friendship" with other ponies that don´t even care about her and even more ""friendship"" with other stallions. She´d find out that they´re stupid and she has nothing to talk with them about, but this problem disappears soon. I´m trying to impress her, telling her funny ideas, I´d even DO funny things just to tell her about that. I´d try to cheer her up when she´s down. I´d visit her, take a walk with her everytime I´d had a chance. She wouldn´t even care. She´d even start to smoke weed and drink (again..). She´d come out with stupid ideas like "I want to cut half of my mane off" or "I want a tunnel in my ear". Me, still loving her, would ask her "Why are you doing this to me?" She wouldn´t know what do I mean. I´d tell her she´s for everything I´ve ever disagreed with. She´d be confused, but after a while, she comes with an idea. "I don´t do it on purpose. It´s probably because.. I´m seeing my past self in you, and how I used to live. It will be better if we won´t talk to each other." I´d burst into tears. "...at least for some time". Me, crying on the ground, couldn´t say anything. She´d just walk away, leaving me there.

 

After some time, I´d see a topic on the mlhforums. I´d have to imagine a situation of a lonely human boy, orphan, a boy in love, which is not happy. So I´d start typing a human version of my story, applying it into the human world.

I am in full agreement here. Her saying "You deserve to be lonely" just seems so out of character for her. I can't see her saying that under any circumstances. Remember, she was in that same lonely state at one time. She's also had her friends abandon her (they were Discorded, but still...), and I can tell you from personal experience that anyone with half a heart who's been abandoned by a friend wouldn't wish such a feeling on their worst enemy.

 

But to answer the question, I suppose my reaction would be to get some help for the poor thing--Twilight clearly is not herself!

[silvadel 1,393]

I would figure something was definitely wrong. If pinkie pie is not even actively associating with you and you got that reaction from twilight -- my next step would be a train ticket to canterlot unless I was a pegasus then it would be to fly directly to canterlot.

 

My guess is that Celestia would let you see her if you handed in a note to ponyever handles these things about your experiences with the mane 6 and concerns. At that point you would find out your answer -- not that you would necessarily like the answer.

PS: If for some reason celestia would NOT see you then I would re-route the request to Luna.

Edited September 11, 2012 by silvadel

[SBaby 660]

Uh, I don't think Twilight would do that. And if she did for any reason, then I'd probably try to find some way to contact Princess Celestia, because the Elements of Harmony are outta whack if that is the case.

 

OR...

 

Maybe I would turn out to be the creator of the Elements of Harmony, and I would seal them away from the world until such a time as the ponies who represented the spirits of the Elements could prove themselves worthy of them again. I could see FiM doing this at some point.

It's just one part of my insecurity in which I think really badly of myself and the worst in people (or characters) I like the most. I don't have low self-esteem or anything, but... you know.

[FedoraMemes 582]

Well, firstly, I really don't think that would be something Twilight would do, but for the sake of the topic, I'll pretend she would actually do this.

 

I would do what I do when something like this happens to me IRL. Go home and just mope around, sit and just be depressed. Hope that maybe she will finally accept me. If she carried on, I would then try and stand up for myself and tell her how much she was actually hurting me, and tell her my true feelings for her. Hopefully, she would accept me, but if not I would just get mad and probably end up insulting her, telling her how harsh she was to me, then probably run home crying. If she still hated me, I would give up and try and give her hell. If she made me so upset, then she should be upset. She just doesn't seem to accept me at all.

 

By then, I would probably have gone insane, and possibly end up committing homicide or something like that.

 

This would be a brilliant fan fic by the way. I'm actually gonna go and write this.

That's almost exactly what I had in mind! And about the fanfic part, the idea of this being a fanfic had been heavily looming in my head for a long time now, though in my case the character turns out to be exceptionally gifted with magic and is revealed to be the true Element of Magic (Celestia tells him this later). Twilight basically robbed his destiny from him in this case. You can probably choose to go with him going insane and actually getting into conflicts with Twilight this time around.

 

I hope you make this fanfic, though

That element of magic idea is actually pretty good. I might make an alternate ending version where that happens. Thanks for the inspiration bro, sorry if it kinda seems like that I'm stealing your idea.

[Crispy 5,563]

I would yell at her for being so OOC

 

Well, of course it would hurt. Putting yourself out there and getting your feelings pushed in like that always does.

[Jokuc 8,174]

I actually like to be lonely :L

 

But anyways, I guess I would get pretty sad. I would not try to do anything about it though. I think Twilight would realize what she has done.

I've actually wanted someone to write this kind of story for a long time. No big deal if you happen to just take it from me - I encourage it! I am too busy to write these kinds of stories anyway.

[XUNUSEDXXX 3,459]

Ugh, that would be horrible. :x I would probably just... wellllllll I don't know what I would do besides cry in a corner at the fact that I am a rejected pony D:

[silvadel 1,393]

Hmmm destined to be the element of magic by the elements themselves and Celestia makes the personal judgement that you wouldnt be friendly enough to be it and goes to the second choice. I think that would cause some difficulties.

 

It would make the meeting with Celestia I said earlier more interesting to say the least.

[Yellow Diamond 7,575]

 

My reaction would probably mimic Bruce Wayne's crestfallen expression.

 

I'd be pretty crushed. No doubt about it. I don't know what would drive Twilight to utter those words, but they would cut me to the quick. And being a guy who is fairly secluded already, though not totally in the doldrums like the pony in the scenario provided, I can imagine the situation being extraordinarily difficult to handle. Quite frankly, I'd feel distressed and angry---both at Twilight and myself.

 

I have no idea what Twilight would do afterwards, mainly because the cause of her ire is unclear. I would hope that, in the spirit of friendship, she would realize that her behavior was uncalled for. Then again, if I am a pony who knows only solitude, that may not occur to me. And the fact that, as this character, I might be infatuated with Twilight only makes the sting more poignant.

 

Geeze. This is a downer. Not as bad a blind Rainbow Dash, but it certainly isn't pleasant to consider the scenario provided.

Well I just cannot fathom this one bit. I cannot believe that Twilight would ever do anything so cold hearted. So I will just say right now that since in my mind this could never happen, I will not reply to you seriously.

 

I would turn into a evil mass murderer, and kill off the mane 6 one by one, saving Twilight Sparkle for last. And when it comes her time, I would make it last as long as possible torturing her until she died a gruesome death. Grimdark I know.

Sometimes I had dreams similar to this.If anything like this happen to me.I would prove her wrong.Try to make friends with one of the other mane 6.

In all possible truth...I would take my life and hurt her with the guilt...and now I feel terrible...what could she have possibly been annoyed by!?

[Wubsie 1,123]

I'd be so DEPRESSED!!!

My self-esteem would be so low... -_-

 

What to do if a pony rejects you:

1: RAGE

2: Burndown ponyville

3: Rape Rarity

4 Go to Canterlot and act like nothing happened

Definitely, and you know what? She can’t stand the sight of you! Twilight leaves. Now you see the funny side. Now you're always smiling!

 

 

 

In all seriousness though (tee-hee, why so serious?), my reaction and mood afterwards would pretty much be the same as yours. I would be devastated, cry in the middle of a thunderstorm for dramatic effect and self-pity in the middle of the morning out in the open streets of Ponyville, and have a really damaged psyche this time around. Not having any sort of family members with you hurts, too, especially considering that your parents were killed when you were young.

 

Or you can travel up to the Crystal Mountains and train under Mare's al-Ghul for 7 years to become Batcolt.

I would Grab an axe one day.

As soon as she walked out of her house I'd chop it down since it is a tree and Carve out in the grass with said axe

"Fuck You!"

 

Or in the more likely possibility I would probably just stay in my house for a long time...

Forever Alone...

If I even had a house.

Well, given the changed history of 'me' I frankly wouldn't be able to know how I'd react, since my environment would have made me way different. If I maintained my current personality (in which case, I wouldn't have even gone through the events as portrayed but lets pretend I did), I'd be alright with it. I like girls like Twilight, but I'm used to rejection. I'd go on my way and never question why she chose to shoot me down.
