Stories set in the Oversaturated World, some silly, some less so.
In a few months, Twilight had learned more from her new friends than she had in almost three years at one of the most prestigious preparatory academies in the nation. She reflected on how much more she still had to learn as she leaned against the Wondercolt statue, massaged her temples, and said, "You want me to what?"
Rainbow Dash groaned. "Look, it's simple! I just need you to act as my ambassador to the nerds."
"I'm still not sure what you even mean by that."
"The techies and I don't exactly move in a lot of the same circles, but I need them for this. Sunset refuses to help, and..." Dash trailed off, humming in thought. "Hey, could you do it?"
"Do what?"
Dash blinked. "Didn't I say?"
"No. You literally swooped in front of me as I walked out of CHS and asked me to, and I quote, 'translate from Awesome to Nerd.'"
"Oh. Whoops."
Twilight sighed. "I suppose I should be flattered by the implication that I speak the former."
"Whatever. Point is, I need to figure out who 123Only is."
Twilight waited for further data. When none proved forthcoming, she said, "One-two-three who now?"
"123Only, the single dumbest person on the Internet!"
"Rainbow, I've read the first few lines of Timecube. You're going to need to support that claim."
Dash threw her hands in the air. "He says that everything after the third Daring Do book is a bunch of garbage!"
Twilight went very still. Teal flames flickered to life from her eyes and headgem.
Dash took a careful step back. "Uh, Twilight? You okay?"
Twilight cracked her knuckles, savoring each pop. She followed suit with her neck, bending it so far to each side that only Pinkie might be able to match her. "We are going to find this fool. And we are going to explain all the myriad ways he—"
After a flash of gold, a similarly colored hand rested on Twilight's shoulder. "Is your blood sugar low or something?" said Sunset. "I can feel your rage pulsing through the leylines."
"You don't understand," said Twilight, unearthly undertones to her voice. "This is important. Someone is wrong on the Internet."
Sunset licked her fingertips and pressed them against Twilight's headgem, snuffing out the eldritch flames with a hiss. As she shook out her hand, she said. "How about we go to the mall, talk this out over lunch, and don't terrorize someone for having a different opinion than us?"
Dash gave a blurring nod, eyes still wide and spooked. "Sounds like a plan."
Twilight, eyes still aflame, sneered. "His retribution will not be—" A quick peck on the lips silenced her and sent her expression from vengeful to blissfully dopey. "Okay."
Sunset chuckled. "The day that stops working, we're all in trouble."
And in Fillydelphia, a young man named Quibble Pants couldn't help but feel that he'd narrowly avoided something terrible.

Too bad Script Kiddie (a minor character from An Equestrian Gentlemare ...) probably doesn't exist in this continuity. He's a nerd (or more precisely techie geek), and a (very slightly) nasty one. Though his sympathy for Sunset Shimmer overcomes his jealousy, in that story.
I think any version of Dashie is likely to have strong respect for any version of Twilight Sparkle.
Heh ... though when Pony Rainbow Dash and Pony Quibble Pants met, they liked each other. I wonder if these two will meet ... and make friends ... and only then, Dashie will find out who "123Only" is ...
It'd be nice if more of us thought this way.
(And yes, I include myself in that statement.)

Too true. (And yes, I include myself there as well.)
We are very lucky to have Bacon Horse around to prevent Science Primate from going biblical... honestly, not sure if that's the commensurate nickname, because she's not a horse or any derivation thereof. She's more techie than bookish, so thereby comes the "science". I suppose she could be Science Hominid?
And don't even get him started on the movies.
Oh, Twilight, if only you knew the deepest, darkest depths of wrongness to which these fools can fall! Starting with the EweTube comment section.
DDDDDDDDDAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWWWW!!

Can I have a link to that story please?

I suspect that may be an xkcd quote.
Quibble? Start running. I don't care where you are or what you're doing. Drop it now and start running. 'Phone Elon Musk and tell him that you volunteer to ride a Red Dragon to Mars even though the ITS won't be available to bring you back for maybe a decade. Do it now. Do it before Twilight Sparkle finds you and shows you why she fears the Midnight in her.
This line is perfect.

If I'm being honest, it also isn't mine. But associating it with Sci-Twi was too perfect to not do.
