Nightmare Fuel

Place scary moments here:

• The Friendship Asylum:

  • The most important question of the story: Where is Gentaro’s soul? Answer: Limbo, where one’s soul must go through the perilous landscape over and over again for all eternity until the despair and hopelessness devours them up. Gentaro is at the point of going through the events close to 400 times—it’s been a little over a week since he’s been in Limbo according to “The Friendship Anomaly”—and is at the point that he’s close to fading away. Yikes…
    • The Cutie Mark Crusaders explain that Limbo is a “hopeless, desolate place” and that they can’t believe that it’s been only five to six days since they were gone. When asked how many times they’ve gone through Limbo, they answer, “A lot.”
    • Jeff Hardy also explains that the more Willow took control of his body, the harder it was to escape Limbo’s grasp, and was almost close to being eaten whole by Limbo during the Undead Uprising due to Jeff seeing his brother in a Heroic B.S.O.D..
  • Sora losing it throughout the story: from his Nightmare Sequence in Chapter 12, to laughing as he realized the Darkness Proxy essentially fooled him and then using the asylum to brainwash the Asylum Guards… Pretty much everything Sora goes through is not a pretty sight.
  • The sequence in which Jaune becomes an Asylum Guard is terrifying considering that dark vines mummify him until his personality and free will is wiped away and then he enters the asylum as if he was a zombie.
  • Sly Cooper is found by Dipper and Mabel and asks them to find his gang…then it’s revealed that the asylum had completed brainwashing Sly a while back and it was all a ruse. Not to mention that Sly has become completely addicted to the electric torture the asylum gave him, even begging Carmelita to shock him over and over while Carmelita is freaking out at Sly laughing in absolute glee.
  Sly: (laughing after a third or fourth shock) Yes…YES! (Smiles, his eyes glowing mad) Give me more Carmelita, I beg you!
  • And then there’s the way Sly is defeated: by having Axel throw one of his chakrams at him and then Sly is set on fire and is screaming in agony.
    • …Not that this helps out the other killings in the story: Jaune, Sora, Jason Brody and Link are impaled by their own weapons…Seth gets a Neck Snap… It pretty much sucks to be an asylum guard in this tale. Only Riku and Ash escape a Karmic Death, though Ash had to endue a powerful Thunderbolt to be purified.
  • Carmelita in Chapter 13 is running for her life as Wide Knowledge of the Late; Madness plays in the background, culminating with her finding a small shrine of dolls in the forms of the asylum guardians with button eyes, with the Sora one—dangling on a noose, mind you—singing the part where Miku goes “Watashi” over and over and OVER again before Carmelita lets out a scream and uses her shock pistol to destroy all the dolls in anger.
  • The scene after Jak is killed by a sniper goes back to the shrine with the dolls in the above post…and now there’s one of Jak with them with a hole in his chest. Brrr….
  • Kairi teleported via Compelling Voice to the asylum’s gates? Creepy. Kairi teleported via Compelling Voice and then being chased by a brainwashed Kaiba so he can kill her?! Terrifying.

Tearjerkers

Heartwrenching examples are here:

• The Friendship Asylum

  • Princess Peach having to watch Perry the Parasol be broken and incinerated by Yugi.
  • Spike performing a Heroic Sacrifice and being killed off by the Undead to save Rarity.
  • Sora’s fate at the end of the tale, where he’s hospitalized from the loss of his leg.
    • Better yet everything Sora and Jak has to go through in this tale particularly when Jak begs Kairi to kill him for his actions, with Kairi having no idea that Sora was not in his body at the time.
  • Pooh’s speech, quoting a line from Kingdom Hearts II during the Pantheon’s Darkest Hour makes nearly everyonebreak down.
  Pooh: I had a friend, and his name was Sora. Sora was there when my friends had vanished and I questioned what it would be like to say goodbye to myself. Then, he came back when I wasn’t able to remember my friends, and I asked him how I could make him stay longer. I asked him, ‘Sora, if I go out looking for you, will I find you?’ And he said that he would always be in my heart. I was so very happy then. (tears form in his eyes as he places a paw on his heart) I want to be happy now, but I can’t. Sora is gone, my friend is gone, and if I go out searching for him, I will never find him. (starts crying) Sora…where are you?
  • And earlier, Pooh goes searching for Sora in the woods outside the Pantheon and finds that Sora is no longer himself. End result? Pooh is absolutely silent and drops his hunny pot in horror before Fluttershy leads him away with the scene ending with this line.
  Pooh:….Sora?
  • Jak confronting Pooh while possessing Sora, not wanting to show the silly old bear what he’s become.
  Sora: You don’t know what it’s like…I am this now…(gestures to his appearance) I can’t be with those I care about, so please go!
  Pooh: But if you go Sora, I will go looking for you.
  Sora: You will never find me.
  Pooh: But I will, Sora. (places a paw over his heart) You’re in here, that’s why.
  Sora: You silly old bear…you won’t find me because SORA IS GONE! (unleashes a burst of fire that knocks Pooh into a tree unconscious and then realizes what he’s done) Sora…is gone.
  • Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash asking Gangrel and Luna what happened to the Cutie Mark Crusaders in Act 3 and finding out that Gangrel couldn’t get the fillies out of the rubble without risking his life in the process, thus leaving them to die. Applejack’s reaction is heartbreaking.
  • Daxter enters a Heroic B.S.O.D. after his failure to save Riku from the asylum, knowing that he could’ve averted this completely if he had acted faster. When he learns what happened to Joshua and Beat, he proclaims that the asylum will pay for everything. He overhears Pooh speaking with the corrupted Sora, and symphonizes with him, and a flashback sequence shows that the exact same sequence happened when Jak was under the asylum’s control.
  Daxter: (comforting a sobbing Pooh bear) I know how it feels to lose someone, and then they reappear and claim that they’re gone. But Sora will return, Pooh. We just gotta believe that he will.
  • Sly’s reactions to being incinerated by Axel, just after he had fooled Carmelita into thinking he was free from the asylum and Carmelita can only numb his nerves by using her shock pistol on him.
  Sly (as his body is burning away) Save me, someone! Will someone please save me?!

Heartwarming Moments

Please post moments you think are Heartwarming here:

• The Friendship Asylum

  • The ending of the story, where Gentaro is finally freed of Alternate!Gentaro’s influence and now a Guard in the House of Friendship.
  • Pooh arriving at his temple filled with hunny pots and letters from gods who wish to befriend him. When left alone, he sees a shooting star and wishes to see Sora before going to sleep. Pooh meets Sora in his dreams thanks to Riku, and the two hold hands.
  Pooh: You see Sora, I found you.
  Sora: Yes you did, silly old bear.
  • Gangrel admits to Ralph (and pretty much the whole House of Ambiguity) that he truly cares for the Cutie Mark Crusaders, the Cutie Mark Crusaders introducing Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon to him and the trio showing off their Cutie Marks in the process. After Gangrel bursts out sobbing in happiness, he tells Ralph:
  Gangrel: And what in the hay is wrong with me liking them?
  • Princess Peach essentially forgiving Takatora for what he (accidentally) caused. Takatora starts crying when Princess Peach notes that he was still a good person deep down.
  • Pooh’s speech in Act 4 is both this and Tear Jerker.
  • During Nyarko’s Cry into Chest moment, she’s afraid that Mahiro hates her for what she nearly did. Mahiro’s response?
  Mahiro: I don’t hate you, Nyarko. I never have.
  Nyarko: Mahiro-san…(breaks down sobbing)
  • In a very weird sense an asylum-corrupted Riku is still loyal to asylum-corrupted Sora and will protect his friend from outsiders…even while Sora is planning to unleash an Undead Uprising on the Pantheon.
  • Kaiba personally goes to Kairi and Sora to apologize for what he had caused throughout the story, secretly handing them and Riku tickets to a free day’s pass to his amusement park when Sora is better. What makes it sweeter is that he’s doing this while carrying Parry the Parasol (he gives the excuse that he’s returning Parry to Princess Peach though).

Moment of Funny

Please post examples here:

• Muse Hysteria:

  • Sora’s attempt to restore the TV transmitter after Penelope hacks it in Act 2 (see Epic Fail for more details). Words cannot describe what happens.
  • The aspect of Uncle Howee deciding to behead Mitsuzane on his show with Voltaire singing “The Headless Waltz”.
  • Gordon Ramsay’s swear-laden tirade on Grandma Stuffum in Act 2 before he learns that she was actually brainwashed and lets her go.
  Ramsay: I still don’t like your food, though.
  • During the final battle, Artix goes up against Kamen Rider Decade but freezes when he sees that Decade’s armor is pink (which Artix is afraid of). Decade’s response?
  Decade: It’s not pink! It’s magenta!
  Artix: Ohhhh…..that works out much better! (starts kicking Decade’s ass once more)
  • Artix’s interactions with Audino in Chapter 12, culminating in him fleeing the GUAG Medical Division while screaming and passing Goofy and Donald in confusion.
  Goofy: Gawrsh, I didn’t know warriors could even fear pink.

• The Friendship Asylum

  • In Log 9, Dean Ambrose asks Daphne if she still has John Cena’s scarf size.
  • In Log 15, Dimitri note that whatever Alternate!Gentaro is planning is very bad. Like B-Movie bad. Like Plan 9 from Outer Space bad.
  • When Ambrose, Reigns and Rey Mysterio have to distract Willow!Jeff (in order to teleport him and Rollins to a virtual arena), it’s Rey Mysterio who sends Willow!Jeff in a rage by mentioning how Rey shaved CM Punk and made him bald. Ambrose is absolutely shocked and laughs at the aspect of it.
    • And earlier, Reigns decides to mock Ambrose (See Ironic Echo) in an “I told you so” sort of way. Ambrose’s reaction is to ask his friend to shut up.
  • Upon learning about Queen Chrysalis’s fate, Carmelita notes that the queen has a list of gods “as big as YHVH and Lucifer’s”. Cut to a scene in the epilogue where Carmelita is checking that list of gods and then signing her name on the bottom.
  • Randy Orton, of all wrestlers, has to tell Cena to shut up when Cena accidentally goes into Innocently Insensitivemode on Rarity.
  Orton: Subtlety isn’t your strongest point, you know.
  • Artix’s fanboying over Ashley J. Williams throughout Act 4…or better yet, Artix throughout the Undead Uprising in general, acting like a kid at the candy store. This includes:
    • Artix making his own lyrics based on the Aquabats! Super Show Opening:
  Artix: (singing while slaying Undead) I’m your Undead Slaying Hero! I love to slay undead, you know! At home, Battleon or in the Pantheon…
  (a few scenes later)
  Artix: (still slaying Undead) This is the Artix von Krieger Show!
  • Quoting many of Ash William’s lines from the films.
  Artix: Groovy. (starts laughing) I’ve always wanted to say that!
  • Asking Bentley (using the Voice Modulator to convince the Undead he’s Vanille) to walk toward Artix just so he can slay them.
  Artix: It’ll be fun! I mean, who doesn’t like the sound of the undead collapsing like a house of cards?
  • And by the time everyone has decided to feast on popcorn and watch Artix do all the slaying for them, how is he subdued? By seeing Fang carrying an unconscious Vanille in his hands, because Artix is scared of the color pink.
  Artix: (upon seeing Vanille) PINK!!!!!
  • When Dipper and Mabel land in the oubilette in Chapter 4, Dipper finds a hallway that he thinks leads to safety. Mabel’s response?
  Mabel: (singing at the top of her lungs) SECRET TUNNEL!!!! Secret tunn– (cue Dipper covering her mouth with his hand)

Moment of Awesome

Please post examples here:

• The Friendship Asylum

  • Dipper and Mabel in Log 4, survive the events of the Paraphernalia Wagon, and when nearly attacked by Jaune, they simply stick their feet out to trip him and let him crash into a LEGO wall, thus letting them escape.
  • In Act 4, Gangrel and Luna are about to die by a swarm of undead… and then saved by the Cutie Mark Crusaders! Scootaloo distracts a group with her scooter skills, Sweetie Belle uses levitation to hurl bottles of wine and other sundries at them, and Applebloom mixes up a Molotove cocktail—with her bow as the fuse—large enough todemolish their temple. All of this is ended with the fillies shouting, “CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS ZOMBIE SLAYERS!!!!” (although they don’t get Cutie Marks for that.)
    • And later on, the trio give an epic Shut Up, Hannibal! to Yugi just as he mocks Gangrel for his love of the Cutie Mark Crusaders.
  Applebloom: And what in the hay is wrong with him liking us? I mean, I don’t see anything wrong with it. Do you guys? (Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo shake their heads) What I see wrong is you of all gods deciding what’s right and wrong!
  Sweetie Belle: It doesn’t matter whether Gangrel likes ponies or not. He cares for us!
  Scootaloo: And we care enough for him to take you down! You wanna know why? Because we’re—
  The Cutie Mark Crusaders: THE CUTIE MARK CRUSADERS!
  • Alternate!Gentaro’s speech in Act 4 as he states how the Pantheon was so blind to the asylum’s darkness (also a Take That, Audience!).

elladayblog’s Story Ideas

Hello everyone!

So, I’m new to the whole Pantheon thing, but I think it’s such a cool idea that allows for a lot of story potential. I’d love to write different Pantheon stories, the only problem I have is that I don’t know if some of this stuff has already been done before. For example, it says under Ash Ketchum’s pantheon profile that he “was challenged by Yugi Muto to a card game for his powers; the duel is still going on. The rest of the Pantheon breathes a sigh of relief at keeping these two busy.” The idea of Ash and Yugi having a never ending battle that may have been potentially set up by some other gods to keep the two out of trouble (or more accurately, keep the trouble to just the two of them) is hilarious to me. It’s that kind of stuff that I’d love to write. I just don’t know if it’s already been done in another Pantheon story already or in some sort of Death Battle-esque video online.

Not to brag, but I’m a pretty skilled writer and think that I could write some pretty fun stuff. Here’s a list of stuff that I think would be fun to tackle (but I have no idea if it’s already been done before)

• The aforementioned battle between Ash and Yugi
• Death Note seems to have an interesting arc surrounding their characters in the Pantheon. Would love to write Light screaming like a little bitch after getting killed by Rem
• Panty’s…ahem, to do list and how the other gods react to it would be fun (not smut, no interest in writing that, stuff like Viridi going Tsundere mode over Panty trying to check Pit off her list)
  • On a side note, Frollo getting friendzoned by Panty is comic gold, but I’m pretty sure that the Frollo Show already did that and I don’t want to repeat stuff that’s already been done outside of the listings on the pantheon profiles
• The Riddler and Professor Layton having a puzzle battle
• Pinky and the Brain trying to take over the Pantheon
• An “edge contest” between Shadow and Ryuko featuring Dante from the Devil May Cry™ series
• A dream battle between NiGHTS and Freddy Kreuger
• Mr. Crocker trying to capture the other FARIES! in the Pantheon

Any one of these would be super fun to do, but if anyone else wants to write these or thinks that these don’t meet the criteria for the Pantheon stories, that’s totally fine. I’m open to everything. Please let me know what you think!
