    Hey, it's KR here. I don't visit my FIMFIC account as much so this completely passed me by. I did want to say thank you so much for reading one of my stories. It was honestly a delight and a surprise to find out today. I am very grateful and this production really put a smile on my face. Ironically.
    Thank you and to everyone involved!

    This is chilling as it is clear Travis not only narcissistic tendencies but he is also delusional. Thinking he is better then everyone and he is also rocking the victim mentality. Truly a dangerous person to be around. It sounds like the ponies are parts of his psyche are the more rational parts. He already shut down and forced Pinkie to be silent so the more forgiving and even social part of his personality is now reduced to a silent back ground character. It's Pinkie that is the most social and friendly one and she's been reduced to being shut behind the counter to serve. Makes me wonder if he's too far gone to save.

      It's a bit mixed as the main obstacle is Travis seeing others as the problem rather than himself, though perhaps through some small force, there might a chance to get something through without it immediately being ignored(could be something like an intervention or trying to integrate into his life through some way).

    I wonder If Pinkie is supposed to represent the very sense of wonder/excitement that the boss lady was referencing during her confrontation of Travis on the roof top? I think when he mentions that he dropped one of the dolls, it was definitely the pinkie pie doll. That might explain why he was so willing to leave it. That would explain why in the end you only hear 5 ponies talking while pinkie is completely forgotten about. That whole scene definitely signals Travis's decision to abandon real life and permanently refuse to change. Anyways, great as always Scribbler!

    This might be one of the most genuinely terrifying stories I've experienced in a while. A disturbing glimpse into a very twisted mind.

  • @puppyhowler

    my interpretation of this story is that travis uses mlp as a form of coping, each pony representing a part of him, or something he needs/wants in life.
    fluttershy is basically the mother he's always wanted, always giving him what he wants, never reprimanding him no matter what, even if he acts like the most spoiled brat on the planet.
    rainbow dash represents his stubbornness
    rarity represents his ego
    applejack and twilight are his conscious, always challenging his world beliefs, trying to ground himself back into reality, and trying to get him to realize that maybe HE'S the asshole. which is why he rejected them for the most part, he couldn't stand the idea that he was the one in the wrong in a situation.
    pinkie pie was his happiness and sense of wonder that his boss said he was missing.

    I believe the world does kinda suck, but giving into despair and distancing yourself from other people is not the way to enact change. This is definitely a huge callout to so many people in the fandom. I can empathize with Travis. I've fallen into that pit before. Maladaptive daydreaming and all.

  • @autumbreeze1129

    You know what really disturbs me about this story?
    I *knew* someone like Travis.
    He always talked as if *he* knew how the world worked, always talking about how humans are a pestilence on the planet and only a handful are genuinely worth anything.
    Due to having been pretty new at my workplace at the time, I accepted his *friendship* and would spend a lot of time talking with him as we worked together.
    Though, ironically, he's the reason I got into mlp.
    At one point, he started talking about how mlp itself is "everything wrong with the world", showing his absolute hatred of mlp, and, after several months, I felt all his bitterness couldn't be accurate, he had to be exaggerating.
    I was glad to learn he was indeed wrong.
    Once he found out I'd gotten into the show and liked it, he ended our friendship without even telling me, saying I'd become a "hollow shell of my former self".
    Because, apparently, becoming a nicer, more open minded and happy person counts as a hollow shell.
    He's refused to even acknowledge my existence since.
    It's really uncomfortable how much I see that guy in Travis.

      I knew someone like that too in highschool, he had that same kinda complex. Had a huge ego. Angry outbursts/tantrums. Always tried to play the victim role. But was also incredibly creepy. After blocked him for sending me creepy messages and left highschool he would ask people where I lived and who I was with. Was also incredibly manipulative. Definitely stay away from these type of people cuz that's just the tip of the iceberg on how creepy and messed up that guy was.

  • @fallenknighttyler8695

    A delusional narcissist with a victim complex, lord this one was hard to finish. Not saying it was bad because this was done great. I've met people who were similar to Travis in various degrees. I don't think Travis is one that can be saved, primarily because he refuses to change.

  • @Devonlui
    @Devonlui Рік тому +46

    The first monologue about him being a genius is just his ego, he likes to think of himself as such, but if he truly where like all those people destined for greatness he'd be taking enormous risks, or putting his mind and body to the grindstone like the rest of people who want greatness.
    Edit: also, this remids me of " Not the hero" a fic where in discord has to battle Anon, except he has the power shape the world to his desires, whims and dreams, essentially making his subconscious a reality warping demiurge that instead of manufacturing dreams, it changes whole worlds to fit Anon's beliefs and wants.

    This story really touched me. I can kind of relate to Travis, and I've seen myself become him at times. While this was way before I've gotten into the MLP fandom, I felt the same way. I felt tired, alone, and wronged in one way or another. I hated how people treated me, how they always seemed to be against me, tearing me down, seemingly wanting the worst for me. All of this angered me, and I wanted something to change. But the more I fought, the more I realized how my actions either did nothing, or even backfired. I then started blaming everything on the world, the system, the establishment, authority figures, rotten apples making the lives of others worse, and those too stupid, too ignorant, or too apathetic to care.
    While I don't think I was necessarily wrong, life is more nuanced than the "Everyone is out to get me" mindset. It's a defense mechanism. I became a victim. I felt weak, and needed to improve my defenses, to create a narrative where I felt empowered, where I felt righteous, where I felt hope for once. This only gets worse when seeing tales of underdogs, heroes, activists, martyrs. I started to relate to these people now more than ever. I really thought that I was better than people either because I was smarter, wiser, stronger, morally righteous, and kinder.
    While I would like to think I am all those things, I have come to see that the way I was thinking was flawed. While aspects of it were true, my worldview was too narrow, too strict of an interpretation. People who I thought were trying to tear me down simply were disagreeing with me, trying to help me, or were simply having a bad day. Sometimes, I even realized that sometimes I was provoking some of these "attacks" as I called them at the time. But I was so hurt, I couldn't tell the difference. Anything that even seemed like a slight toward me was seen as offensive, dangerous, and needed to be put down with extreme prejudice.
    When I realized that my worldview was flawed, I came to the conclusion that it was completely flawed, just like how I was completely flawed myself. That led to another narrative, one which went in the complete other direction. I started to believe that I was worse than everyone else, that these attacks weren't the doings of evil people against a righteous hero, or even as a victim fighting for his freedom to live as he pleases, but rather a sad and miserable person, who was being dealt punishments for being so vain, so self-righteous, stupid, weak, evil even.
    Eventually I got out of this way of thinking. I don't exactly know how I got out of it, or rather what got me out of it. Maybe it was simply time, time that I used to reflect, consciously or subconsciously. Maybe it was because I actually started hanging out with friends after not being able to see them for a while due to us being in different schools at the time. Maybe it was just teenage angst/puberty and I just mellowed out as time went on.
    Now before I close this, do you guys recognize a pattern in my thinking? And by extension, Travis' thinking as well? It's always me vs. them, smart vs. dumb, the strong vs. the weak, the morally righteous vs. the degenerate forces.
    I'm not wrong, you're wrong! You don't agree? You are against me! I'm all good and you are all evil!
    Or, we start to realize that we may have been in the wrong, and then start believing that we have been wrong all along about everything.
    I'm the worst, I deserve this, I'm evil, I'm a mess, I'm so vain, stupid, and unlikable and don't deserve anyone else.
    It's all or nothing. Black and white thinking with no room to accept anything else than the close minded and absolute narrative that we create. This leads to feeling like the world is against us, that the problem lies either entirely with other people, or entirely with ourselves. The worst part is that this thinking becomes a sort of way of life for us. One that cannot be wrong, or we truly believe that our existence is pointless, or worse, deserves to be erased entirely. We stick to our convictions, even if it is to our own detriment. Like a religion that we blindly believe, it is our very being, our identity, even our reason to exist. Without it, we are nothing. We fancy ourselves as underdogs, heroes, activists, and martyrs akin to those of fact and fiction. In reality however, we are simply a victim, angry at our circumstances and powerless to change it.
    When Travis realized this, or at least I think he realized it, he decided that he needed to double down on his beliefs, and so took his own life. Unwilling to change, fully convinced that the world would not get better, and nor would he. I developed an inferiority complex which stunted my development to this day, and maybe led to the depression that I still fight with to this day. In any case, I feel a lot better than I did before, thanks to help from friends, family, and eventually professional help.
    Sometimes people bend, like me, sometimes people break, like Travis, but all and all, if you see someone who is like me or Travis, chances are that all they want is love. Knowing that you care for them shows that you don't have their worst interests at heart, in fact quite the opposite. And with that, you prove their worldview, their narrative of me vs. the world, wrong. Maybe they think it's %1 wrong, maybe they think it's completely wrong, but your actions show that there is evidence to the contrary, and that maybe, just maybe, they can feel safe to reciprocate, even if it's only a little. As the saying goes, a little goes a long way. I know it did with me, and I hope those who feel similarly to Travis and me understand that while people are dicks, remember to understand the nuances of life, and that typically the extreme idea that the world fighting you, or that you are the worst thing in the world, tends to be a dramatization of events. Try to say open minded, as hard as that can be.
    All and all, try to be more empathetic with people. Kindness typically only kills that which is killing themselves, so kill them with kindness everyone, and maybe one day, we can make the world a bit better for us all.

    Oh no, I think this story’s kinda helping through things right now. It’s like a “that’s me fr” kind of thing where I can relate to every little feeling his talking about. I always thought that relationships with others never mattered and that I should strive to be at the top of everything even though it’s not really possible from my standpoint. I know it’s a bad way of thinking but I could never stop, it’s almost like being a character from a rockstar game. You can criticize the world all you want but that doesn’t make you a better person for not contributing anything good to it. I always thought like that, always thought that looking at other people’s work and watching them succeed was just me waisting time when I could be doing my own thing. Thought liking things unwise and un allowed , that it was only serving to keep me in the gutter but I guess somewhere along the way I just lost that passion. This story helped me realize that.

    This is a different kind of dark. Its sad, because there are people out there who truly believe they do no wrong whatsoever, even when its clearly obvious. They dont do anything drastic like crimes, but are jerks that no one can do anything but avoid or put up with them. And they are never truly happy, even when they believe they are, because its what they "know".

    I really feel a connection with this one.
    I mean, I never really felt like I had that strong of a connection with my dad. Ever since graduating high school, it always felt like nothing I ever did would be good enough.
    It's a big part of why I always emersed myself in games and shows, mostly anime, World of warcraft, skyrim, minecraft and fallout.
    creating new characters and downloading mods to rp out various things as I progress through the games and coming up with various fanfictions in my head of the shows I watch at the time seemed to give me more menaing than anything I ever did in the real world.
    I have a good connection with my mom and sister, and my nephew is super into minecraft, so it's fun to have him experience that game with me as we play over skype or he'll lean up against me as we play together on the same system.
    Once we get this house sold and finally finish moving everything else out to the new house, I'm going to work on uploading videos like crazy, starting with Skyrim. who know, maybe I'll even attempt an interconnected plot like what I say someone do with their fallout 3 roleplay moving into Skyrim, or what Press Start To Laugh did with a bunch of his stuff like, Subnautica and the raft and Portal.

    His vainess about himself irks me. I feel this mane6 fantasy world of his is like his own delusional thoughts filling his ego. Twilight and AJ are the more logical thoughts asking the questions and pointing out the flaw in his thinking; the people "out to get him". Pinkie is probably how he views everyone. Fluttershy is the people pleaser, just saying what he wants to hear. Rarity and RainbowDash are the vainess and ego boosters. The Pony World is like a safe place in his head.
    Just how I perceived the story.

      Same!! To me, I don't really feel sympathy for this guy, like, _at all._ Not like how a lot of others in this comments section seem to, anyway. So what if he has depression? From my point of view, _just because you're depressed, or just because you have a shitty life, does not mean that that automatically gives you the right to be an ASSHOLE about it, and treat everyone ELSE like GARBAGE, or as if they're all beneath you, and that you are some God among men._
      (Of course this all could be just because I have chronic depression myself, so I'm somewhat of a massive hypocrite, I will admit 😅).
