  • Hello Everyone! I hope you all enjoy my personal spin on the MLP Infection AU trend that has been going around lately. I tried to use a real concept from My Little Pony for my fake disease and I hope that you enjoyed my idea, drawings and commentary. If you would like to see Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie done next let me know! Hope you have a great rest of your day!

    I would like to note: flying takes a ton of energy, and a ton of body heat to be directed to the flying muscles, so Rainbow Dash may also be wasting away due to all her energy being put towards flying.

      w rainbow dash? shes just flesh now

      after a w hile of that she wont have furr anymore, no function in front paws either cause of flying drag

    I would also imagine it would start with the pony being obsessed with their cutie mark and the ability it represents.
    Shunning away other habits and interests "Sorry no time to bake a cake, I must draw"
    Getting more obsessive, where they soon stop sleeping just to spend time using their ability.
    Let's just say when Luna and Celestia get it, the sun and moon would literally collide. Luna dying because her cutiemark loses it's meaning.
    But in most cases, they would work themselves... To Death, except their body would still go through the motions.

      Adding onto this concept, what if when Twilight realizes that there is no more knowledge available in Equestria for her to learn, her cutie mark forces her to use magic to wipe her own memory of every single thing she's learnt. Not only would this mean that, on the hypothetical she found a cure, a cure'd be lost, but she'd lose memory of everything she's learnt. Including the ponies she knew, to possibly even basic things like walking, eating, etc. All so she could learn them over again.

    @bronzeinkwell2590 4 місяці тому +487

    Let's just hope the princesses never get infected with your cutie disease. So for Celestia, I just imagine her constantly using her magic to move the sun around the planet, like 24/7. So days would literally last only a few minutes. This could potentially turn the ever moving sun into a sort of microwave effect, cooking the planet.
    Luna though would be trapped in an eternal slumber as her disease traps her in the dream realm and no matter what she does, she can't escape. And while she can enter pony's dreams, she can't interact with them and her presence actually causes nightmares while also magically spreading the disease through dream magic, as I think that's a more logical way of this disease spreading, by mere touch or in unicorn's case, magic touch. Whether that be a magic blast or telekinesis.
    Cadance however is probably the worst, as she basically forces whatever she sees to fall in love with either her, someone else, and/or something else. This goes to the point that the love spell she casts makes the victim can only think about the object of their affection. On one end of the spectrum, they become practically attached to the object of their 'love'. Forgoing sleep, eating, hygiene, everything just to spend every waking moment with the object they are being forced to 'love'. On the other end though, the 'love' they feel is so great, that they want the object of their 'love' inside them, so they will literally eat the thing they 'love'. Just imagine a pony with hearts in their eyes as they gourge themselves on another pony, or force themselves to burst by shoving literal food down their throats.

Pilots can't hear their own sonic booms because the boom created when breaking the sound barrier is like a wake that trails behind the plane.

    I wonder what happens to those who don't have a cutie mark yet?
    Are they immune? Are they sent away for their own safety? Are there other ponies trying to help by ensuring these markless ponies stay that way?
    Or worse, what if the markless are not safe? What if the infection manifests as a desperate desire to find the cutie mark? To the point these fillies and foals practically go missing as they wander aimlessly, waiting to spot something new to try, or think of something they could do? What if the early stage lasts awhile longer for markless paitents, starts as a simple desire to find the cutie mark? The pony would still go to school or work, head home for the night, generally act normal, except they cannot refuse a new opportunity. What if paitent zero joined the cutie mark crusaders unknowing of their own infection? What if paitent zero is a certain lonely little filly with absent parents that rarely goes home?

    I do believe this AU would also do something to Discord, in that he becomes a bit of unstable entity, all the chaos caused by the virus would build. *Maybe he glitches a lot*
    He doesn't have a cutie mark, but his physical body is kept around due to chaos so an influx of that would have a bad effect on him.
    He has the power to fix everything... But the chaos gave him too much power, that he would in danger the one friend who was spared if he even tries.

    I really like this au because while its still really dark, it's also feels very connected to the show and it's themes and honestly still something that could potentially be put *into* the show. Obviously if that happened the body horror and gore would he toned down a lot for kiddos (for instance, instead of applejack breaking her bones she'd just be shown being very exhausted and sore, and would be unintentionally knocking down trees with her kicks, rainbow dash would just be uncontrollably speeding everywhere and crashing into everything, and rarity would probably become a literal crystal magnet and would be physically dragged against her will towards the nearest gem) but the overall concept is perfect for the show. It even comes with a fitting lesson- its great to have interests and talents that you're happy with and proud of, but you should still have balance in your life and make room for rest/socializing/having an identity outside of it and not letting your interest consume you and take over your entire life and being

    What if Twilight being the element of magic would have her either try to gain more power or start shooting people with her horn? Or maybe the unexpected is she becomes immune because of the fact the disease wouldn't know how to do anything with her talent cuz its magic. Or its cuz of the fact Twi is already having a tendency to stress herself.
    And for Fluttershy I can't help but think that bcuz her element was for the animals she thought it wouldn't be as bad at first until her food storage runs out. So the disease has her feed herself to the animals! 😢

    Other random ideas i had for this au:
    Starlight:
    -If the flower (from the cutie-pox episode) fails, Starlight Glimmer could become a vital charecter when it comes to removing their charecters. This however, could make a harsh/breaking desision for starlight, as it would mean to repeat a horrid part of her past again, a thing which she truly fears. Idk i think that it'd be a cool charecter arc.
    -To continue with this, Starlight is powerful, but sometimes she can get extremely carried away, and be extremely ambitious. A dangerous chance of her being infected.
    -I think that either thorax and/or spike would be good choices to keep Starlight from trying anything too extreme, like protectors or guides. They have shown to calm her down before, so i think that theyd fit the role well as her gaurdians.
    Spike:
    -At first when/if twilight is infected, Spike begs to stay with her to help her, being that he doesnt have a cutie mark, but twilight before losing it, might beg him to run and/or finding starlight, or somewhere safe.
    (Kind of like that one crystal empire special)
    - will be able to have a higher chance of safety from destruction with a smaller size..i think.
    -if their IS a way you would want him to be infected, perhaps you could make his spikes hurt and be really painful, but not taking him over like the others. (This might work because of that one episode where he is called by the map.) :>
    Changelings/Thorax:
    -because of this virus, i thought itd be a good sub-plot/obstacle of Thorax banning any changling, from shapshifting into a pony. It could be due to parinoia, or perhaps they would actually be infected with their false cutie marks, who knows? :0
    The infection may find a way....
    -Thorax has been shown to be accepting of different quests, so i feel like he would pair up with Starlight and Spike.
    - While hes gone, he might leave his brother in charge. (Maybe, i think-)
    -definitely, thorax would be the one who keeps the group from falling apart. He is very calm and gentle, and has kept those qualitys even when in danger like in season six. He may find it hard to harm other ponies to stop them from causing harm, but the two things combined may find help quite nicely for good charecter dynamics.
    ‐--------------------------
    Anyways, THIS AU ROCKS!!!!
    The creativity and darkness of it, combined with thr dark thought, is absolutely amazing! Well done! 😊❤ 👏

    Makes me think about what would happen to the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Everybody’s Cutie Marks start taking them over, and the CMC’s talents are helping others to find and understand their Cutie Marks. Do they look for foals to “help” them get their Cutie Marks when these foals no doubt want nothing more than to never get a Cutie Mark now? Do they force them to do things against their will? Maybe the foals all start hiding from them and leave them with no way to feed the compulsions. After that, would they see the ponies around them being affected by their Cutie Marks like this and know that there’s nothing they can do to help? What kind of torture would they go through, being compelled to do something until they drop, but it’s something unobtainable because it’s incurable and they can’t stop it?

    God damn is this good. One of the main weaknesses I’ve seen with Infection AUs is that they tend to (heavily) rely on stills and graphics from the show and official content; while the edits can be very good, it’s still noticeable. Seeing one with custom art - and so far, damn solid art - is a nice change of pace, as well as it being a take on the Cutie Pox.
    Looking forward to seeing where this goes.

So I'm definitely invested in this.

    I wonder how you’d do Twilight, since she’s one of the many characters who’s Talent is just sort of generally being good at learning magic. Would she just be in an endless loop of researching new spells she doesn’t know and randomly practicing those spells without warning?
    And like what about Fluttershy? Her Talent is her ability to take care of and speak to animals, so would she be forcing her care onto others? Like obsessively doing every little thing even if the animal doesn’t want anything to do with her?

    I love this AU so much! One small correction for Rainbow, though: when breaking the sound barrier, the person that is doing the sound-barrier breaking does not actually hear the sonic boom that goes off. This is part of why it's so dangerous to break the sound barrier: you literally cannot tell that you're doing it. I do agree with others saying that the heat from the constant flying and air resistance would destroy her, though. Great ideas so far! I can't wait to see more!

  • @butterfly-nx7dv
    @butterfly-nx7dv 3 місяці тому +1

    I LOVE your designs and I also came up with another idea for Rarity. This one starts with heavier psychological effects than physical. She becomes even more of a perfectionist and doesn’t even eat or sleep because she’s spending all her time on the “perfect” design. If she finds a flaw in what she’s making, real or imagined, she’ll take the entire thing apart and try to remake it. She’s also constantly trying on her projects to make sure they’re perfect.
    Because the effects aren’t as obvious (at first) as AJ’s Rainbow Dash’s and because she’s constantly wearing full outfits, at first others don’t realize she’s infected, potentially making her a super-spreader as customers still try to come by. But as time goes by, others finally realize she’s not eating, sleeping or even opening and closing the store. She’s obsessively taking apart everything around her and redesigning it to be perfect. Eventually she’s barely even in there and her creations only have a somewhat recognizable pattern because she’s just going through the motions now and processing very little of anything she does.
    Sort of like a worse version of Inspiration Manifestation.

    I’d say honestly that Rarity’s Talent is essentially finding the beauty in things, as she got her Cutie Mark when she found beautiful gemstones hidden inside an initially dull looking rock. So it could be neat if sort of like in the Inspiration Manifestation episode, she goes around to find people and locations and stuff to try and force them to look more beautiful perhaps

      Hey its ok! I actually thought that the cutie mark is really cool! I even thought of some possible ideas, if that's ok lol
      1: one thing I thought of, was that the cutie mark could represent a desire in them to do the impossible, or to defy what is known/said in general. A contrarian, or a, "dare devil," to be presise. If the cutie mark were to be infected, perhaps they will be forced to do increasingly reckless tasks, refusing to do what literally anyone/anything says, causing immense chaos.
      2: One other thing that the cutie mark could possibly represent, is the ability to bring opposing sides together, a peacemaker of opposite sides, like fire, and ice! I'm not sure what would happen to the cutie mark in this version, but the concept is cool.
      3: CliMaTE ChANgE CuTiEMARK-
      4: OK, one more, this one is serious, I promise! What if your ocs talent, is to warm ponies cold hearts..?
      (See what I did there? :D)
      They might be very compassionate, caring, and persistent, even with those who are cold-hearted, warming up their hearts in the process.
      If this was cursed, perhaps they would continually help others, to the point of completely ignoring their own needs. Slowly they would deteriorate and fall apart, wishing for a break they could never get...(unless of course there cured. ^^)
      I hope this helps, and I wish you a good day today. 😁

    For twilight, she would be constantly casting difficult spells or even dangerous ones, or she uses alicorn magic till she dies or exhaustion or gets consumed by the crystals created from alicorn magic (all-a king sombra style).
    Pinkie Pie is kinda weird though… Her talent is to help others be happy, so she would probably start by “trying to cheer everyone up” after this sickness starts to spread, until the others realize that she never brings a stop to the party even after days on end. Pinkie never sleeps, but she is eating and drinking, and other-wise acts normally, until tears start to fall from her eyes despite smiling and telling jokes for days-on-end, and eventually dies from lack of sleep after 2-3 weeks.
    Fluttershy? Her talent is talking to animals, so It think that eventually she would just be unable to talk to any intelligent creatures that could already talk with ponies (dragons, changelings, yaks, etc) and could ONLY communicate with animals, and eventually dies in their care, alone.

    Missing Cutie Mark Syndrome is a genetic disorder that disables the pony from earning cutie marks. Meaning that no matter how talented one with MCMS is, they’ll always remain a Blank Flank. This disability often leads to mental disorders such as depression, however due to recent activities involving Cutie Marks it would mean that those with MCMS could actually have a high chance of surviving the Cutie Mark Wasting Disease without the help of magic, this newfound confidence helped decrease the risks of ‘dangerous’ activities from those with MCMS

    For rarity you could have made it where she try’s to put gems on every thing including herself so she could be carving them into her skin

    The moment I saw the gem in Rarity’s eye and how you mentioned her hobby being to find gems (other than fashion), my mind instantly went to: She doesn’t stop looking for gems, night and day. She is so obsessed with finding them that when she’s unable to carry them, she stuffs them in her own body to carry around easily. Idk why my mind went there, but that would be messed up if she did. Great AU btw
