Come check out the first part of official sequel! kzfaq.info/get/bejne/e5uCdZxju7rGXWg.html

How this could’ve been avoided: -Apple jack organized a night harvest so people could help without getting heatstroke, or just offer a lot of water -Apple jack could’ve asked twilight for some money (she’s a Princess, she has to be rich) -Apple jack decides to cook blue meth with pony Walter white and sell them across equestria while avoiding the pony DEA

Moral of the story: drugs are one hell of a drugs

18:31 that “I SAID NO!” was so powerful. you could really see the first signs of madness here

I actually really like this because it's an escalating psychological horror instead of just the typical shock gore-fest.

“Where... is Applebloom? Is she safe? Is she alright?” “It seems that in your anger, you killed her.”

The potion, the insanity, the massacre, the cure and the sadness, all of this caused by the greed of Filthy Rich.

Lauren Faust: I’m just going to create a nice show about friendship and magic unicorns The fandom:

Twilight gaslighting Applejack cost her big time in the sequel. Not going to give spoilers, but it's a good follow up.

" we don't take kindly to spies around here" ...Engineer?

imagine if this was actually an episode oh lord the children

1:02:56 dude this line still hits so hard, she *knows* she’s messed up in the head but she’s too far gone to even want to fix herself-because she thinks there’s nothing left to fix

i heard someone had a headcannon that the twilight that visited aj at the end of the fic was chrysalis the whole time. the fic specifically mentions twilight's headless corpse earlier, so twilight already got her karma for giving aj the potion by being murdered by her. twi being a changeling also explains how jarringly out-of-character she is in the ending because that literally wasn't twilight.

Okay in all honesty, when Applejack said "wanna bet?" It sounded kinda badass

Moral of the story: Apple jack you should've taken coffee instead to stay awake How are people still replying it’s been 3 years 💀 PeoPle plEase I dOnt eVen rEmembEr cOmmenTing thIs

Looking back at this story, I made a realization...Twilight could have just quickly gathered up all the apples with magic and then this never would have happened... Then again we never would have gotten this story if that did happen.

It's sadly poetic how in the beginning, Applejack mistakenly assumed that she might have kicked her older brother to death, when in actuality, she just kicked a tree a little too hard and her brother was safe at the hospital. In the ending, Applejack really did kicked her older sister to death, and is left questioning whether she is still alive. Her sleep deprived mind made up a nightmare of paranoia, and now she is left to experience it for the rest of her life, long after the effects of the potion wore off.

When applejack was bucking a tree, my captions said “applejack was f****ing a tree” that, was freaking funny

I remember how sad it made me that apple jack didn't have her own creepypasta, this was amazing omg

I love this story. I haven’t watched it in a long time and coming back, I realized why I like it so much. Nobody is truly at fault here. Nobody had intentions to hurt anyone, but in the end, Twi’s betrayal of AppleJack makes her the true villain of the story

I like how applejack has like no stories about her, it’s so nice to have one especially so well written

AppleJack is inevitable. Thanos is inevitable. AppleJack = Thanos confirmed

_"I'm the thing you fear. The wild beast that hides within us all, but is kept back by sleeping. I will always be in the back of your mind, I will forever be waiting for the right time. The time when you finally snap and loose all control of self."_

I only now realize that she could have had a full on loop hole. ONLY make the required jars of double, saving the rest of the apples. Once Filthy Rich got the jars feel free to sit with her family and make the rest together before selling them for winter profit. If only she had seen it

Four years later, still wanting a sequel.

*Achievement unlocked: You have survived a video by TheLostNarrator*

I love how they have literal gods who can raise and lower the sun and moon but can’t make rain. I find that hilarious for some reason

The Twilight I know would NEVER let Applejack take the fall, like the narrator said. This is such a creepy and sad story! Really well done!

the story is already terrifying and extremely well written but the VOICE ACTING oh my god. i had full body chills when she was killing lyra and when she gave her monologue to rainbow, this is insane and it’s a shame this is one of the most underrated mlp creepypastas because it’s psychologically one of the most messed up

Applejack: I am the inevitable. Apple Bloom coming outta nowhere: *and I am Iron Man.*

*starts video* I'm a brave boi *gets to AppleJack in the hospital* NoT a BrAvE eNoUgH bOi FoR tHiS!!

I love how applejack is always basically described as a boring pony that dosent make mistakes,And the only time she gets a creepypasta its based on real life events and it’s extremely gruesome and this is literally like the only creepypasta she has other then apple eyes💀

24:10 The combination of the sound of Filthy Rich laughing, Applejack groaning, the narrator speaking, and the tree cracking all at the same time makes this sound like a YTP 😂

This. Needs. A sequel. Although AppleJack resorted to using dangerous substances in the face of potentially losing her and her family's livelihood to an individual she despised, I find it very hard to place guilt on her. If one's well being and future, and the well being of their loved ones, were abruptly put under intense pressure by some event out of their control, it isn't a surprise that they would justify going, you could say, "the extra mile" to try what they may to help. AppleJack, from what I can deduce, is a being willing of self sacrifice and heroism. She is not swayed by the notion of bringing harm to herself to help preserve others. And in this case in particular, the fact that she took the potion just tells me the lengths she trusts Twilight's mastery in magical practices. I will say, AppleJack's refraining from seeking help when the initial effects of the potion started becoming apparent was a bit odd, but it is easily explained by the fact that it was the potion meddling with her cognitive state. She wasn't in her right mind. And then we get this ending. Twilight separates all involvement with the horror that occurred by, essentially, gutting AppleJack's utility and innocence from her, proclaiming that she herself had pushed herself into the madness that consumed her and that the fact she was an element would not save her since there was another that could fill that role. It's honestly disturbing to witness this. And that is why, there. should be. a sequel. This leaves on a such a sour note that it makes the viewer desire something to wash that away and bring levity to the tale. But then again, most horror refuses to do so, instead leaving their stories with bitter ends to make themselves more striking and, perhaps, memorable. Either way, great story.

coppa: confused screaming

This was twilights fault. She still gave apple jack the potion knowing there was a possibility of horrid side effects and yet ended in massacre. Filthy also could have been understanding. The fact twilight lied to cover her butt and keep her reputation is horrible and wrong. Wanna say your a amazing narrator very well done and all who made the art was just pure chilling!

I havent been into mlp in years and on a mlp creepypasta rabbithole out of pure boredome, but this story stands out as something truley magnificent in terms of writing. If you replaced the ponies with humans, it would be a really good horror novel and possible movie. This story sounds like a horror from the 80s or 90s that is considered a cult classic. I agree with many of the comments here that there should be a second part, but I think it should focus on Twilight and the guilt she lives with. It could be a psychological horror in its own as the guilt starts eating at her when memories from the past, before the potion, surround her. Yet she is too afraid to admit she's in the wrong because she was Celestia's star student, and she worked way to hard to become a princess to let it all fade from an honest mistake. She keeps herself sane by fully blaming Applejack because she asked for the potion, and this causes trauma for Twilight as she now begins to cope by pushing to blame onto others, her own sanity slips as the pressure of being a princess becomes too much. She goes down a similar path of Applejack's as she refuses to stop working, trying to hide her mental degradation. It could be similar to that of how Twilight went crazy in that one episode, desperate to help but a refusal to be in the wrong. One day her "help" causes a death. She didnt listen to the pony she was helping and did what she thought was right, ending their life. She freaks out, hides the body somewhere with her magic or something, and so on. Just an idea but it could be very interesting if done right.

Greed, Wrath, Blood lust, gore, abuse, murder, and betrayal... Perfect story, 10/10

APPLEBLOOM! BRING THE SHOVEL! SO I CAN DIG THE SHIT OUT OF LYRA!!!!

I remembered this story to be well written and the performance to be great. I am glad to come back to it and find that I was wrong. It is even better than I remembered. When AJ's insanity really starts to kick in on the hospital bed, I was in awe. Excellently done.

This story was amazing and it also shows how dangerous different kinds of substances can be in real life Lack of sleep is also highly dangerous and I love how it could all be portrayed in this story ! Truly an outstanding job and performance from everyone working on this 🎉👏

FINALLY SURVIVED A LOSTNARRATOR GRIMDARK SO PROUD OF MYSELF

*beginning of this stuff* This isn’t to bad. *hospital part* I CAN SURVIVE I CAN SURVIVE *voice glitching* I CANT SURVIVE I CANT SURVIVE

This… I think I just got traumatized. Seriously, due to my own ADHD, I sometimes have my own sleep issues. I wake up feeling just like Applejack before she snaps: focused, full of energy, jittery and temperamental. It terrifies me to think that I could slip this low if insomnia was piled on top of this. Most of all, this stands out from other Grimdark stories. It isn’t “edge for the sake of edge” like one would expect from something like Cupcakes and its many clones. This is a well-written psychological horror that could very well happen to anybody. And for that, I thank you, Magpiepony, and everyone else who helped bring this reading to life. Please, take care of yourselves.

This hit hard, especially the ending and ending music, i know i’m late to this but its genuinely a masterpiece, it made me think a different way about Twilight.

I like how this story is only loosely inspired by "The Russian Sleep Experiment," what with a total lack of sleep freeing some form of latent madness that supposedly lies within everyone. IMO, the effects of the madness are better demonstrated, in this story. At first, it seems as though Applejack is having a fairly straightforward break from reality that becomes more extreme as her sleep deprivation continues. That, and the focus of the story is on the consequences of the madness, instead of a "we are the madness that you kill with sleep" twist ending.

Am I the only one that thinks granny Smith is the most to blame?

*Applejack stabs Lyra with a shovel* “We don’t take kindly to spies around here” Why do I feel like that’s an unintentional TF2 reference

I never read this fanfic as a kid, so i'm coming back and watching everything I missed. I still love MLP creepypastas so much, and this story holds up so well! love it!

Apple Jack: *kills lyra* Me: Do ya think she killed Filthy yet? Narrator: she killed Filthy already

That one picture where Applejack tightens the rope around Lyra's will now give me nightmares.

I know I'm 4 years late to this masterpiece of a story but, this was creepy, gory, and sad all at the same time. The ending made me tear up a little. It showed how AJ was worried sick about what happened to Apple Bloom. Not to mention the fact that Twilight completely denied the fact that she gave AJ the potion in order to keep her perfect reputation. I felt bad for AJ. I'm not saying it was Twilight's fault, but I'm also not saying that it's 100% AJ's fault either. They both did wrong. For me, it's hard to choose who was really "in the wrong". But Twilight denying the fact she gave AJ the potion, id say she's pushed a little more towards the wrong. (in my opinion) The art also caught my attention the most. It portrayed exactly what was happening, which, in my opinion, made everything more eerie and unsettling. The artists did amazing! The voice acting, too. They did an amazing job aswell! The narrator's monotone voice creeped me out(not in a bad way) and the way the others voiced the characters, I don't have words to describe how I feel. But in short, I LOVED it! In my opinion, this story is well-written. Maybe better than any other MLP "creepypastas" lol. But nonetheless, I enjoyed this!

fantastic voice acting, VAs did a great job, be it conveying the exact emotion in a moment or portraying the character right. as if this is some lost show episode, the voices are natural and actually similar to the original cast and im loving all of them

Moral of the story: DON’T DO STEROIDS KIDS XD Thanks for having me and Katie voice in this Lost. ‘‘Twas so much sinister & spoopy fun. ^^

Dear lord that was chilling to the core, Applejack going insane is far, far scarier than Cupcakes or Rainbow Factory, it feels more true to her character too, her devotion to her family costing her everything

I still come back to this time after time when citing my fave grimdark story's, its just to damn good, and the way lost approached this production wise makes it all the better listen. such a masterpiece, and one id recommend anyone to read/listen to if there into horror

that bone crack... that, that made me sick...

I think this is everyponys fault: Granny Smith for making the deal, Applejack by taking this measures and Twilight for not taking the blame for the potion. Yeah you can say Granny thinks there are no more options and Twilight advise AJ about the effects. But as for Twilight she have to act like a princess and not just let AJ without an answer about her sister and just let her like that until de day AJ dies. Twi must be joking. AJ is the element of honesty and no one can't take her place just like that. That's not how the elements of harmony works and even less how friendship works. Twilight is not worth for the element of Magic. Not anymore. As for the VA's good job. I really love it. All work very professional in my opinion.

I like the grounded the beginning of the story is. The heatwaves ruining the crops and severely impacting a farmer's finances, which are barely enough to support them when harvests are fine, is pretty realistic. Applejack's descent into insanity also doesn't feel too jarring, unlike a lot of creepypastas. (Up until the mandatory quote from the original Russian Sleep Experiment, that is) Her sleep deprivation led to her becoming emotionally unstable and forgetful, and with her added stress, made her insanely paranoid.

Just gotta say, the voice acting in this video is fucking phenomenal all around, I can't pick a single person who did a bad job or even alright job. Everyone did fantastic. This video, somehow, has become somewhat of a comfort video for me lol, I really love the twist this story has for the Russian Sleep Experiment and as I said, it sounds amazing. Keep up the amazing work!

Twilight: Applejack, can I talk to you? Applejack: Want to go to the zoo?

Apple Jack's infamous shovel has returned

I love how neither Applejack nor Twilight end up being villains or heros in this story- Applejack begged for the spell in spite of Twilight's warnings and Twilight gave in, knowing that there would be consequences (although I highly doubt that Twilight knew about AJ's state of mind or even thought that AJ would go on a murder spree) I'm so excited for Another Apple Sleep Experiment's final part and seeing how everything comes together 🧡 Additional note: AJ was stated to have thrown up the potion immediately after drinking it, so there's also that factor 👀

This is one of my favorite grimdarks ever. I always get livid at end hearing Twilight lie revealing her betrayal and coward behavior. So ridiculously heavy and feels real and disgusting.

Wait.. why didn't AJ just ask twilight to use her magic to pluck all the apples off the trees like she did in applebuck season?

Me: All seems fine. *Gets to the psycho part.....* Me: Well, there goes my sleep.

Absolutely amazing narration, it felt only a step down from a animation. The images/scenery to go along with the story, the music, the voice acting all done amazingly. I love this story it’s so captivating, sad, gruesome, disturbing and I love all of how it’s told. Felt like a different kind of movie but good, and sometimes better in that way.

beginning: okay okay, this is pretty easy to stand lyra dying: IM ALREADY SO SICK OF THIS, MY BODY IS LIMP- *HELP* rainbow dash getting attacked: how tf am i still here??? applejack in a cell: i lived. i just gotta go through one more.

Russian sleep experiment with ponies and a more personal story. 10/10

*Reads the title* liiiiike "The Russian Sleep Experiment?" (If you are familiar with that creepypasta.)

The voice acting here was so good! I honestly thought these were the real voice actors (unless they are) and the story is so good! The moral of the story is a very important one, and I’m assuming that by the name, this could’ve been an experiment that twilight set up, and that’s why she’s not admitting to giving applejack the syrum, or somehow she lost her memory such as when she was beaten by applejack

Why are mlp creepypastas are unironically good

The way Twilight handled the situation at the end is probably the darkest part of this story. It's easy to criticize her for her decision, but she would have to be quite the big person to take the fall with Applejack. It's cowardly yes, but the show has (obviously) never really put Twilight in a position like that. It's interesting to speculate how a character might actually react.

"It's not like we haven't ran into these types of problems before!" ...why is it when I hear this, I get the feeling she's referencing almost EVERY MLP Creepypasta? Like, seriously! Listen to that part over and over and TRY to convince me it's something else.

Applejack pleading to twilight about what happened to applebloom sent a shiver down my spine and made my heart sink.

Twilight absolutely sold AJ down the river. If she was found to have enabled this then she'd be the one being stripped of Princesshood and Element. Starlight Glimmer could easy give Twilight a run for Element of Magic. Twilight would end up like Sunset - outcast from her position at Celestia's side. Far easier for Twi to have the Element of Honesty replaced by the biggest threat to her (Starlight) and hide behind 'the good of Equestria because I need to be the one with the answers'. You can tell by the way certain lines are written/phrased. Too much at stake for Twi to lose, better to offer up a scapegoat. This story was so sad yet so amazing!

who would win, the entire town of ponyville vs. one sleepy boi

AppleJack: *I AM THE INEVITABLE!!!* Tony Stark: _..and i am iron man_

Oh wow, that was a doozy of a story, that was a captivating narration. I'm not gonna lie I was on the edge of my seat throughout and I could sense the anticipation, and predicting what might come next. I was fully engaged with the narration and events to follow. That's the brilliance of great storytelling, the amount of sympathy I felt for Apple Jack and the demons torturing her as she slowly sank into madness was agonizing. Also, I'm not one that handles blood and gore very well, it's always been a source of weakness for me, the sounds and narration along with the graphic descriptions had me wincing on a few occasions. Well done to all involved with this reading, seriously.

The worst thing is that filthy rich is still alive and know nothing about what happened

Granny: ”Hold on there Apple jack” Subtext: hold on a wrinkle chick” Me: (c" ತ,_ತ) ( 3:25 )

5:47 Subtitles auto generated “YOLO Granny Smith”

I’ll say that apple bloom was killed by applejack and that made me think that twilight left because she didn’t want applejack to be traumatized.

Man, I wish more fandoms were as good at making creepypastas as us bronies.

Wait Twilight isn't to blame Applejack told twilight she WANTED to do it( drink the potion) Twilight warned her before she drank it Edit: I leave for 3 years and return to find there's now a whole moral discussion in the comment section what the heck did my younger self summon

23:16 Applebloom is a unicorn,Sweetie Belle is an earth pony

Idk why I clicked on this thinking it'd be a commentary video or something, but the story and the narration certainly hooked me!

26:11 this one (whitout audio) would be a perfect troll for the cloppers

Starts watching: well this doesn’t seem so bad? Applejack vomits: well this took a turn? Applejack hallucinates: uuuuuh? Lyra sees bonbons remains: Wtf TMI Applejack kills Lyra: ok I’m done

Moral of the Story: GO. TO. SLEEP.

The real horror of the story is the flaws of equestria’s justice system

A friend recommended me this video, and I have to say I am very impressed! The voice acting is spot-on and the story itself is great, MagPiePony knew what they were doing! Keep up this good work, I love it!

Moral of the story: if twilight gives you an energy drink, do NOT drink it...

Wait a second, How can twilight keep this a secret when all of her friends know about the potion as well??????

Honestly it's kind of insane that I could easily see the first 25 minutes of this being a real episode.

Fantastic VA as always! Rly gives all the stories life.

2-3 years passed. It is still the best story I've ever heard yet so sad.. the music and sound effects are just amazing is all

41:45 those eyes....46:36 that smile...... Applejack has reached a whole new level of crazy

This is so good,i was gonna leave but then it was scenes kept catching my attention. Right when it began to get boring it kept showing scenes that brought my attention back. The voice acting / narroration, the art, the story itself, it's all amazing. Make a full movie, write a book.I loved this and I hope it gets the attention it deserves. True talent

I'm only listening to this now but damn, this story is amazing. So well written. And the voice acting???? Come one???? How did you manage to nail literally every pony's voice
