Description
Please do NOT post errors or corrections to this page, please post them to my profile page instead.Shadows of the Past is a continuation of my previous web Comic "Without Magic ", in which Twilight was tasked with finding out out "what makes her special as a pony" outside of magic. You do not need to have read Without Magic in order to enjoy Shadows of the past, though some scenes will make more sense if you have.
If you're wondering about the Lyra and BonBon scene, it's because sooooo many shows\comics\games are adding in token minority\gay characters who sever no real purpose in the wider narrative, but are being included so that the writers can say that their products are "diverse". It's a really irritating trend. Like how so many shows from the 1990s would have a black character who speaks like how a white person thinks somebody from the hood speaks.
Trigger Warning
Please see my disclaimer before reading\commenting, and be aware that this comic contains some darker or more political content that might be not be appropriate for Snowflakes\Millennial, people who are easily triggered, or those who cannot deal with ideas that conflict with their own.

Poor Cheerilee.
she definitely needs some character development so we can sympathise with her plight. Losing her students. Maybe being blamed in some way for not protecting them. And now taking drugs. She is on a downwards spiral and while the plot is amusing I canβt help but feel uncomfortable with an educator drowning her worries about her students via artificial means. Please consider showing her getting the psychological help she needs in a snippet or two.

I don't blame Ms. Cheerilee, but at the same time, I don't think I will ever look at her the same again.Β

No censor bar? Well, I suppose it's good not to overuse a joke, but I still feel robbed.

Something tells me Twilight won't listen to the royal decreeΒ

Twilight ... not listening to Celestia?

Is she being held ransom or does she know what it is and is covering it up as she approves or is too scared for her students (and the public) being hurt by whatever is behind the kidnappings.

Y'all just have to read the comic to find out, I guess.

Twilight is not allowed by princess Celestia to investigate the foalnappings??? This is unusual. Hm...
"Princess Luna can eat whatever she wants and never puts on any weight..."
Why would she randomly mention that in there? Unless... Β
----
"There. I've sent the letter. Hopefully she'll not investigate this any further and discover your... gobbling habits."
"Good. She must NEVER know that the Nightmare Night stories are true. THEY must NEVER know!"
----
Nah! That's silly!

Ok, Now there's something really strange!
I'm getting a slight allusion to 'Winter Soldier' here. Twilight wants to solve this; but is advised/told not to by her mentor. Twilight (Cap.t Amer.) wants to fight for the sake of good; yet now she has to ask herself "Well, what is good?"
Also, Twilight's cliffhanger more than outweighs the shenanigans that Sea 3 DT and Silv.Sp. are getting up to.

Sooo... Celestia is up to no good. Again. Apparently, she's at least 99% nuts in this universe. [Sigh]

......these censorship are not funny.Β This comic isn't funny.Β This comic is clearly is not for me with whatever the fuck this tone is.

There isn't any censorship on this page.

Think he means the comic in general with unecessary censorbox uses, visual peeing ponies, and Social Justice Warrior themes in a G-rated pony world.Β ...I think I'm seeing his point of view here, wtf.Β You have a scarred childhood or something there, writer??

The censorship boxes area satirical comment.
Putting in boxes where they are not required highlights those areas rather tan conceals them.
Take a look at Pinkie on this page and tell me that you're mind does not go straight to the gutter, when it wouldn't have done so without the box

Wait, how does a face-palm relate to foreign cultures? It's a universal thing.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's the joke.
There is no cultural appropriation, it's satire on.
People in the real world get accused of cultural appropriation for things that transcend multiple cultures. Or even things that are from their own culture.
My school was accused of cultural appropriation by townies for celebrating several traditional French holidays. The irony is that a lot of us are descended from the original settlers. Who were ... well ... French. Including my own family. So you had people being accused of cultural appropriation for celebrating their own history.

I've personally never seen people call a universally used thing cultural appropriation, but I'll take your word for it.
π: 0 β©: 1
I've heard white people wearing blue jeans called cultural appropriation before. The Thumbs Up gesture, using a hair brush as a microphone when you sing in your bedroom, side ponytails, different colored bands on railroad braces, wearing sandles with long socks that aren't pulled all the way up, wearing a black bra under a white blouse, and most forms of spicey food from Texas.

Texas knows how to spice food?

Texas "thinks" that it knows how to spice food.

Be a princess give people the right to act like you mother if they want. Remember that Twilight Sparkle.

I once write a fanfic about Twilight receiving an embarrassing care package that would fit in neatly here.

Well, she can still try to solve other problems in the town, and if one of the reasons for them just so happens to be the foalnappings...
π: 0 β©: 2
Maybe Twilight could go round investigating something else and just βhappenβ to come across evidence about the kidnappings. After all if she finds something out it not that she specifically when looking for clue she just found them while investigating something completely related. *wink, wink. Nudge, nudge*
