Despair

Spirit of hopelessness, loss, abandonment and surrender. I have no mouth and you shall scream.

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

((I cannot be escaped so easily. I, too, shall be there…and I will break free from Tartarus when the time is right…))

*rattles chains*

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

I still hate all of you.

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

((Thanks to everyone! Great fun! I tried to get to everyone at least once, don’t feel badly if D didn’t respond to you, it was super busy. Keep on having big adventures and tons of fun! Bye for a while!))

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

*trapped in a seemingly infinite knot of threads and thoughts, images of awards, prizes, chart-topping singles, promotions, successes of every kind*

*moves fast, but is always in a new thread*

I’ll get out! Just you wait and see!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

Let me spare you all that! Let me take away ambition and effort!

* so faint now *

Despair is your friend…

*gone*

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

*voice starts to get faint as it’s ensnared in the thousands of threads*

None of you are good enough!

*fainter*

All of you can’t be rock stars and astronauts and princesses!

* fainter *

Trying leads to failure and disappointment and bitterness!

* fainter *

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

What is this? Some sort of hope-maze?

I’ll get out! I cannot be destroyed! These dreams are all silly childish fantasies! Wake up, grow up, get a sedate desk job, something in chartered public accountancy or actuarial calculation!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

This…whatever this is…won’t hold me forever! You can’t keep an emotion!

This squeaky, saccharine voice does not fit me at all. Why couldn’t that have been a more somber cake?

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

*cake-hisses at @mlp_Fluttershy*

Stop with the domestic affection, you ridiculous creature! Animals only like you because you give them food!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

Bah. In this form even my attempts to despair are childish.

Princess @mlp_Twilight, I am quite willing to destroy you last if you liberate me from this…confection.

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

It’s @mlp_Twibot, the clockwork pony, who thinks she’s a real little filly. You need an oil change!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

You! The pony over there! Your scarf is ugly and we all know you got it on sale. You’re cheap! Why not wear no scarf?

*still trying, though stuck in a cake*

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

*leaves a frosting trail that’s somehow slimy*

None of this matters, you’ll fail at anything you try, you all stink! You’re stupid and you smell!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

I’m an emotion you dolts! You cannot destroy me!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

You made a mockery of the Wonderbolts and they put up with you because they’re sorry for you!

WHY CAN’T I GET OUT OF THIS BLASTED PASTRY!?

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

I’ll get to all of you! I know your darkest fears!

*a sort of splatter of angry cake sliding along the ground*

@mlp_Celestia, you’re old and ugly and your sister resents you and no one cares about you any more in your retirement home!

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

NO no no NO NO NO no no no NO no no! NO no nO no no no! You’re all weak and stupid and no one likes you or trusts you!!

*candles for “teeth”*

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

*desperate to keep form, ANY form on this plane…it…

*merges with the cake*

*VERY ANGRY CAKE*

[Despair @mlp_Despair]

—don’t you want to stop? Rest? Lay down? Give up?

—don’t you…

No, she’s mine, she’s gone, you abandoned her…

*shrinking, like a sputtering candle*

stop

*hissing and spitting…*

*and finally…

*CLOBBERED BY A CAKE*
