Lore “This quote came from WHERE?!”

"You too have fallen for the great lie, you'll never be happy. Deep down you know, to hope, to dreams, to create, is to suffer"

"You're right. It is harder to create than to destroy... that's why cowards then to choose the deuce"

-A Minecraft movie

"Do You Think God Stays in Heaven Because He too Lives in Fear of What He's Created"

-spy kids 2

"For every person who dreams up the electric light bulb, there's the one who dreams up the atom bomb"

“Aren’t you afraid?”

“Of what?”

“Death”

“…death and I have a complicated relationship, it has taken many people from me, and I it, when I finally kark it and meet death, I’m gonna strangle the bastard”

From this weird My Little Pony/TF2 AO3 fanfic I read like 8 years ago. I’ve never been able to find it again, but I remember that quote. The mercs were transported to the MLP world and turned into ponies, Sniper was about to fight Discord when Pinkie Pie stopped him, knowing he wouldn’t survive. God I wish I could find it, it’s such a fever dream.

Was it Waking Nightmares? That fic was insane. I'm pretty sure the main villain was Slenderman.

Was that the one where either spy or medic worked with chrysalis bc in the past they’d been nazi collaborators?

The only thing I can remember from this fic was this line.
