Marcato 2,143 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 There's not much you can do. Just push it to the back of your head. It will drift away after a while. Some things leave a lasting scar, but try this: Every time you think of it, change it into something downright ridiculous, or silly. Or you could just completely change the thought all together. Think of something else that's a little more positive and less freaky. I remember when I read a certain fanfic. I haven't looked at cupcakes the same way ever again, and I couldn't stop thinking about the fic for a week, but I got over it eventually. 1 ~Relax and enJOY life.

Riclo 160 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 You can talk to me about it, if you want. And there's really no way to forget something like that. At least not for awhile. What scared you about it? The fan-fic itself? Or something happened to one of your favorite characters. 1 Random statements:"Sir, we're surrounded.""Excellent, we can shoot in any direction.""Ah, the internet, where everyone worse than you is a noob and everyone better than you has no life.""you're all stupid noobs, noobing around and dying like noobs!" - Angry kid."I'll knock your teeth so far down your throat, you'll have to stick a toothbrush up your ass to brush them." - Derek from MLP FF SR"Sometimes one has to bend the rules to find the truth." - Riclo.

PinkiePie Forever 65 December 20, 2012 Author Share December 20, 2012 (edited) I want to talk about it in a way, but that will only make me feel worse when thinking about it. I am not scared for myself, but the awful feeling I got when reading that fic. It was so wrong. And stupid! Yeah, doesn't make much sense at all. Thats totally impossible and senseless. Hahah... ha? Three against one. The CMC are totally awesome and would have kicked him in the face a thousand times. Yeah.

Nothing&NoOne 695 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 I want to talk about it in a way, but that will only make me feel worse when thinking about it. When I'm scared, I talk about it. Then I hear it, and other people hear it, and I see how stupid it sounds and I don't have to be afraid of it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Thundershock 310 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 why dont you watch some mlp? or maybe you can play a game with no violence or scariness in it. if its really bad, tell your parents.

Retro*Derpy 3,185 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 Time. It will eventually heal it self. For now, go watch some comedies of something or brain wash yourself with some TV. Don't try to remember it, and try staying focused on something unless, like TV! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
null1 606 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 (edited) Don't let fanmade material faze you, it isn't cannon, so it shouldn't be taken seriously, this is the Internet. Always just keep in mind that it isn't real. I would suggest steeling yourself for the future by cruising through Derpibooru, alot more screwed up stuff there. Eventually you'll become immune to any and all WTF content. Edited December 20, 2012 by DeltaTangent 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PinkiePie Forever 65 December 20, 2012 Author Share December 20, 2012 I am so stupid sometimes. I need to learn when to just stop reading something. I wish I had never had done that, but it's stupid. Stupid. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jammo 986 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 Fill a paper bag with paint thinner... Wait what am I typing!? Watch something cheerful and happy to giggle the ghosties away. One of the less creepy Pony episodes (No Lesson Zero) should work. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ApplejackIsBestPony 6 December 20, 2012 Share December 20, 2012 Read some good fanfiction. I suggest "On A Cross and Arrow" or "It's a Dangerous Business, Going Out Your Door". They're probably the best fanfics for getting you in a good mood. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

MagmaKnight 17 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 Just watch some episodes or read a nice happy fan fiction just distract yourself from thinking about and try your hardest to not think about it before going to beedy-byes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
YesIAmTori 285 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 (edited) From what you said about the CMC and how they would kick 'him' in the face, I guess you read Sweet Apple Massacre? Yeah, that's nothing compared to Cheerilee's Garden and the Silent Ponyville trilogy. I wouldn't worry too much, just push it to the back of your mind and you'll forget about it soon enough.

Zerul 554 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 Let me guess..It was that sweet apple grindmark bull$@#! right? I went through the same thing with cupcakes exempt I never even thought about opening it,people on Youtube videos kept making jokes about it and all that. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4uYt3hEmAtE ^ That is the life of the CmC "Why, am I not royal enough for you? Don't you know who I am?" Ooh! Ooh! More guessing games! Um... Pokey Smokes! How about Queen Meanie? No! Black Snooty, Black Snooty! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Phoenix237 353 December 22, 2012 Share December 22, 2012 Drink a shot of tequila and let it go Just kidding in all honesty it helps to talk to someone about it. Find a friend, a family member, someone you trust with this fear. If don't want to talk about it then try to get it out of your head. What I do when I want to stop thinking about something I just do watch random videos that aren't remotely relate to what I'm afraid of. See your favorite movie, show, cartoon (hint hint) Distract yourself, but honestly talking to someone might be better then you expect. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
morethanicecream 116 December 23, 2012 Share December 23, 2012 I just read a scary MLP story and I need to know how to recover. Stupid decision to click link... oh well.. any tips on how to forgetit? I don't know. I have been through the same. My friend sent me a clip clip reddit link. My curiosity got the best of me. There is a certain pic that has been scarred into my brain. I can't get it out, and I want it out. There is also another image that.... I will stop now Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DoctorWhovian1902 596 December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 Well, the same thing happened to me. I decided to read "Cupcakes", needless to say I regret it. I regret even more my genius decision to read other grimdarks, especially "The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle" (Please don't read it. Just take my word for it.). The best thing to do is to watch some of the positive, happy videos created by the fandom (and if you are into reddit, /r/mylittledaww works nicely for getting disturbing images out of your mind). Good luck, and don't read anymore grimdarks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Swick (ded) 436 December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 (edited) I usually find Riclo here on MLPForums(he posted in this topic earlier) and stare at his profile picture for entire minute, or until I burst out laughing. Anyway, I myself recently read Cupcakes, and it took a week to get over it. Just push it to the back of your mind, and when it resurfaces, think about something else. I personally found humming Winter Wrap Up and thinking of my favorite moments of the show the most effective method. I don't read fanfics while trying to get over it, as that reminds me that I'm only reading to get a fanfic out of my head. It's been two weeks since I read Cupcakes, and I now talk about it freely. One general rule: NO MORE GRIMDARKS. PM me if you need some help. EDIT: This might also help cheer you up: Racist barn. Edited December 24, 2012 by Swick Hey you! Hey! Do you have Flash?

~Vallo~ 409 December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 (edited) Well, I guess the best advice I could give would be to just think about other things? Or go do something you enjoy, whatever will let you forget about it. Edited October 18, 2013 by ~Vallo~ Your breath stinks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TailsIsNotAlone 3,695 December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 I just read a scary MLP story and I need to know how to recover. Stupid decision to click link... oh well.. any tips on how to forgetit? Rant about it in a blog if it makes you feel better. Or lie down and listen to Pinkie's "Smile" song for a while. Remember, only the people who make the show can decide what it's about. Don't let any part of the fandom define it for you. "Human beings fascinate me Being just the way they are..."

Nixter 180 December 24, 2012 Share December 24, 2012 Just remember: It's all bullshit. Let your fears disintegrate! Seriously, it's not canon so don't let it mess with ya, you'll be fine if you conquer your fears, it'll make you tougher and more strong willed. Some are more strong willed than others, but some just need that extra 'training' G'luck on not pissin' your pants! -Nicholas Don't Punch! Stab.
