Establishing midnight_notes
tsparkle committed 6 weeks ago
Not showing 1 other changed file with 8 deletions.- 1 + Against my better judgement, this file will be used to communicate with the entity known as Midnight Sparkle. Who clearly is a distinct enough individual to get her own BitHub account.
- 2 +
- 3 + She also apparently caused me to dream of her erasing my friends from existence while proclaiming that she wants to claim all magic for herself. Her interest in this field of study could be said to be... significant.

Allow me to clarify
msparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 4 +
- 5 + Look, that wasn't what I meant to do. Just because I can reach you in dreams doesn't mean lucid dreaming is easy. I was just trying to establish a connection, hash things out after the Friendship Games, let you know about the somnambulism. (I'm calling it somnambulism, anyway. You're asleep, your body's walking. I'm just the one steering it.)
- 6 +
- 7 + Unfortunately, our respective mental images of each other bled into our behavior. You were a disgustingly normal teenage girl more focused on her friends than what really matters, and I was a crazed madwoman whose scientific repertoire began and ended at destructive testing. With minimal actual testing. Which is reductive but, I have to admit, not exactly inaccurate.
- 8 +
- 9 + So after that disaster, I decided the best way to get in touch with you without traumatizing you was through something equally private, but where we could both actually be rational.And now what?
tsparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 10 +
- 11 + Okay, you've made contact. You exist, and you can at least put on a facade of rationality and not wanting to destroy the universe to access and study a new one. Also you can control my body while I sleep. I suspected as much—how else could you type those commits?—but the confirmation is still more than a little concerning. All established, all taken into account, all filed away in the list of things I need to not think about to put on my own facade of almost functional humanity.
- 12 +
- 13 + So what do you actually want? Why go through all this trouble?

- 15 + Careful with all those repressed fears, Twily. It gets cramped down here when you treat your subconscious the way you treated your closet back when you refused to clean your room properly.
- 16 +
- 17 + But that's besides the point. I want what I've always wanted: To understand magic. Since you're on board with that goal and we've established what happens if I overstep my bounds, it behooves me to play nice with my only intellectual peer. Hence why I already made a few contributions tonight.
- 18 +
- 19 + Heh. "Behooves." We really should investigate Pinkie Pie more. That girl's cheer is an epidemiology paper waiting to happen.Fine. For now.
tsparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 20 +
- 21 + I'm going to grudgingly go along with this, on the condition that we don't drive me to collapse. I've already been noticing greater fatigue and muscle soreness during the day. Just because my mind is getting rest while you're in the proverbial driver's seat doesn't mean my body is. You've demonstrated that you have access to my memories, so you recall the incident in seventh grade. We won't get any work done from a hospital bed.
- 22 +
- 23 + Yes, I did back then, but this time we'll actually have visitors other than family and Moondancer.
- 24 +
- 25 + Speaking of memory, you should also recall Sunset insisting that studying Pinkie Pie never ends well.

Ugh.
msparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 26 +
- 27 + Fine, fine, I'll be gentle with the meat body. But do you have to bring up the golden girl? Seeing how much you fawn over her in your dreams is bad enough.Seriously?
tsparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 28 +
- 29 + I sincerely have no idea what you're talking about. Sunset's a friend, which is weird enough as it is.
- 30 +
- 31 + Besides, this document looks insane enough as it is. I don't need you turning it into some weird autobiographical gossip column.

Suuuuure, Twily.
msparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 32 +
- 33 + I know the gigabytes of evidence of your attraction to the male form are causing some bias, but we both know you're paying more attention to the expatriate horse than the rest of her hangers-on. Sexuality is a spectrum, Twily, not a hard binary.
- 34 +
- 35 + Honestly, this makes for an interesting psychological study. Would being attracted to the hero who thwarted your scheme for world destruction be considered a form of Stockhorse Syndrome? Not that it was your scheme, per se, but still.Less-than-friendly reminder
tsparkle committed 6 weeks ago- 36 +
- 37 + The only thing keeping me from racing to Sunset and begging her to take me to Equestria to get you magically extracted from my mind is my own goodwill. You have provided some helpful insights, but you are not indispensable to my research.
- 38 +
- 39 + It was my mind first, Midnight, and so is any ruthlessness you display. This is your first and only warning: Lay. Off.

- 41 + Who cares about that, we just confirmed the Many Worlds Theory today! With our own counterpart! Who performed time travel! Which is possible! Questionable taste in women later, science now!

Not so fast, Midnight. You simply proved that alternate worldlines exist, not the falseness of wave-function collapse that MWT depends on. (Assuming, of course, that this refers to pony-Twi and human-Twi meeting in the Equestria GIrls movies and not any fanfic-only multiversal shenanigans of the kind I know you love. Though given how Midnight's an aspect of Twilight, I certainly wouldn't put it past her to get ahead of herself and assume she's accomplished more than she actually has. God knows I've done that in my programming.)
This would hurt if I actually bothered to ignore it instead of finding people who will humor me.
Shenanigans ensue! Because of course they do
bit rebase --abort
...wait, they're humans.
Well, then again horse puns are universal.

Place names are still horse puns for some reason. Which is why they still have hayburgers.
Bithub account acknowledged! ... I wonder what Bitbucket is in this universe. Or if they're merged.
Moondancer remembered!
Ship! Lol for abandoning the Ship for Science!
Ah the old arguing with yourself over what you find attractive. Ignore the drool. There is science to be done!

Definitely a case of Midnight getting ahead of herself. She does have a tendency to leap before she looks. In her defense, she's used to having wings.
11324251
Twilight's done that as well, though at this point, she hasn't fully realized it.

The more Midnight thinks about the wealth of new data at her disposal, the less she has to think about stupid Sunset and her stupid, perfect smile. Everyone wins!
I always find a concept like Nightmare Moon, Daybreaker or Midnight Sparkle interesting. Are they their own entities or are they a part of the original person.
Ouch!
distinct character tags means distinct BitHub accounts, that's the rules
and this is how i learn this is an AU fic. no, i do not read tags.
always a fun mechanic to have two characters living in the same body!
yeah it sounds like Midnight Sparkle could use a bit of anxiety-prone teenager there!
hehe i like these lines, feels very Sci-Twi.
aww, she at one point learned to clean her room properly! that is so nice!
hehe. "behooves".
looks like at least one character per universe has to learn that lesson directly
yes, yes, Sci-Twi is down bad for Sunset
love that no one in this universe questions why the city is called "Stockhorse". also, yes, that is exactly what makes SciSet so fun!
well that explains the giant commit!
These are nice:
Am I supposed to know what msparkle is talking about here? I'm pretty confused at this point; I don't know whether you're throwing out a lot of teasers, or I'm not remembering Equestria Girls canon well enough to recognize references to it.
