Let me put it to you like this.

The Holocaust = Grimdark.

Slenderman and other stupid crap like it = creepypasta.

I have. They fucked my head up for three days at least. Like, i was going insane, and the world around me was very black, and i was probably borderline suicidal/mass murderer.

Grimdark is I have no idea, and creepypasta is scp

Grimdark may be scary or disturbing, but the defining feature is that it's extremely bleak and depressing. Creepypasta may be bleak and depressing, but its defining feature is that it's disturbing and/or scary. There's a little bit of overlap, but it's generally easy to sort things into one or the other.

You would definitely like Cupcake Chronicles! Of course Cupcakes is a creepypasta but its supposed successor is awesome and a well in-depth grimdark story that elaborates the setting by miles.

Meh. Cupcakes was actually pretty meh at best. And woefully unrealistic. Rainbow Dash is way to physically strong for that to happen to her. Those restraints would've been snapped with ease, long before adrenaline kicked in.

That's why I recommended Cupcake Chronicles, it's really about what if Applejack saved RD before the organ harvest took place.

As for the restraints thing, I can't remember if she was sedated or not... let alone be able to simply break her restraints.

As for those who had assembled before them on the sea, the full flame was their front before the harbour mouths, and a wall of metal upon the shore surrounded them. They were dragged, overturned, and laid low upon the beach; slain and made heaps from stern to bow of their galleys, while all their things were cast upon the water." - Ramesses III., Battle of the Delta

Ah, well, what's been going on? Conversations about Transformers being stronger than Twilight? Well, I can't anything to that. I've never watched any Transformers.
And conversations about grimdark. Well, that's just great.

Has anyone read Cheerilee's Garden?

Yes, I have. It was pretty bad. Where did cheerilee get enough incredibly concentrated acid to fill an entire room? Where did she get such an incredibly strong crushing device? How was whichever pony who got caught in it strong enough to exert more force with her muscles than her bones? It's was ridiculous.

Oh, and it was disgusting, sickeningly violent, out-of-character, offensively creative gore-porn that no sane person would want to read if they knew what it was about, and which no sane person would continue reading if it weren't so repulsive that you just can't stop reading it. But I'm pretty sure that was taken for granted.

See, this is funny because you actually failed at comprehension of my words so horrifically as to not see i was talking about his post. Which is what those words on NS almost always mean, they are non0existent in the post. Therefore, his claim was fallacious.

Congrats on your failure.

EDIT: As a refutation, it should be noted that those reviews aren't the most accurate thing. both shows came in out in '84 when the interwbes was hardly a known thing, and that website would not have existed. That being said, our fandom is one of the largest in existence. So, yeah, checkmate bitches.
