one of my biggest interests is in my little pony grimdark and gorefics. in this page i will discuss my favorites and offer direct links for those with similar interests. while the website is a work in progress, eventually this will be an alphabetized list.
why gorefics?
as a childhood abuse survivor, the image of childhood soaked in blood, the idea of someone you thought was safe turning on you - that was my life. obsessed with MLP:FIM since its premeire, i was drawn in by promises of a dark underbelly. seeing my favorite ponies in this same situation, dramatized, being told i was brave or cool for enduring the horrors, it was all so fascinating to me. the weird, surreal knowing that i'd felt these forms of pain as well. wetting oneself from prolonged abuse, being told you were weak for not being able to take it without crying... ahhh, memories <\3
soon, my interest in seeing ponies being hurt was a bit obsessive, and it led to a massive interest in fictionalized gore in general. so much ridiculous tearzah-inspired, thick thighed hoes getting cut up and gutspilled and crying! honestly, no, i don't think it was a massively healthy interest for a kid to have... it was tied to my past """""proshipping""""" - exploring my homosexuality, incest, rape and more in this horny space where its MY coping mechanism I got to be the rapist, dammit! now i see these desires for what they were, a confused, isolated, hypersexual kid wanting to constantly relive and reexamine what happened in a hundred different autistic interests, reflecting back what my dad put me through.
FUCK YOU DAD. AND LETS FUCK UP THESE PONIES!
sweet apple massacre
one of my least favorite reading experiences, but one of the most well known fics. this is a short and simple story about big mac enacting his revenge on the cutie mark crusaders using the highly questionable reasoning of "peace and quiet". (since when is big mac someone irritated by noise...?) the only reason to read it is just knowing how bad and disturbing it is. it comes off as a bit fetishy, and i don't particularly support this author.
warnings: incest, rape, necrophilia, foalcon, torture of foals
recommendation: skip unless you're a completionist
cheerilees garden (read here)
a classic among mlp gorefics, probably one of the first you should read if it is within your interests. a frustrated cheerilee begins viewing her problem students - the cmc, diamond tiara and silver spoon as well as snips and snails - as weeds within her garden. she vows to never allow weeds to overtake her garden again and torturously slaughters them using the elaborate guise of a school play. filled with interesting torture methods and gruesome deaths, this story earns its place as one of the most popular in its genre.
warnings: torture of foals
recommendation: definitely worth the read
cupcakes (read here)
if you've never read cupcakes but you have an interest at all in the world of macabre horse fanfiction, you owe it to yourself to read this genre-starter. pinkie pies jovial and frightening nature is very fun to read and while the torture methods are rather lacking, the mo it paints is very interesting to me- one where the ghastly remains of ponies are used to create fun party decorations and delicious cupcakes!
