I still find myself very interested in this Sunset Shimmer charcter arc as a side quest. One cna only wonder how SUnset is viewing Celestia's teaching style now that she is in the school of Grayven.

If/when they figure otu a way to send her back home, her meeting iwth Celestia and Twilight will be fascinating.
 
Unsure about this, but isn't his name spelt Grayven?
Thank you, corrected.

Grayven isn't actually teaching her, he's getting her materials to teach herself. She doesn't get an actual teacher until Year Two.

Stay tuned for further developments!
 
"Could.. you… Awaken her? That would work, wouldn't it?"
Question: Can Grayven Danner someone who already has metahuman powers? I'm curious if Grayven could Danner Magenta before Awakening her into a New God, both to protect her from accidental self-injury and to make her more versatile/useful.

Meanwhile, Jade is annoyed that Grayven has Awakened two girls while she's still waiting to be Garricked and Awakened.

Jade: :rage: :rage: :rage:
Grayven: :o "Honey, I can explain!!!"
"You're working hard to learn magic so that you can use your skills to better the lives of others, correct?"
Grayven brings up a good point.

Aside from Twilight*, the princesses, Shining Armor, and Starswirl the Bearded, we don't see any unicorns using their gifts for the betterment of Equestria.

Best helper pony is Zecora, providing advice, potions, and shelter to all who seek her out.

*To be honest, Twilight spends most of her time cloistered away in her library, never uses her talents to their full potential outside of Apocalypse-level events, and it took a season or two before she became an active member of the local community.

To be doubly honest, her talent is checklists. Her cutie mark? It's actually a fancy "*" like you see some people use for lists.

Grayven doesn't know and has no way to safely test it.

The author does know, and it isn't.
 
If she LIKES her powers, that could prompt a negative reaction.

The same powers that caused the death of her family and almost killed her?

Yeah let her keep them, what could go wrong?

How? DC doesn't have a convenient, single-source system of metahuman powers. (well, maybe a single-Source, but....)

He found her power source. He could just remove it and fix her if anything goes wrong.

.....I just thought of something Grayven could look into. Instead of a collar that NULLIFIES powers, one that AMPLIFIES the powers instead. They'd all probably be custom but considering he goes for the best stuff for "his people", it makes sense to have at least a partial eye on it for him.
The collars probably work by disrupting powers, in as much as they have any explanation at all. Reversing the disruption doesn't make it boost the powers, so any amplification device would be completely unconnected to the power suppression collars.
Edit: Have to remind myself "Not A Quest!"
I wonder what events in particular would have turned out hilariously if this was a quest.
Nonferrous needles have been standard issue in hospitals for a good while...

Without them they couldn't put someone on an IV drip in an MRI.
I guess the easiest explanation is that this hospital happens to not have an MRI machine.
Is it my imagination, or do new-readers-catching-up-with-the-story-who'd-read-previous-discussions comment on Me off the bat more frequently than they do other posters they would have seen?
You do stick out more than most other people among the regular commenters. Although I agree the disparity is odd, with almost no one else ever being directly mentioned.
Well, there are only so many of us that had a part in starting that "is murdering another user a ban-worthy offense?" discussion that wound up getting a thread. Of those involved, I'd argue that you're the most overt.
I had forgotten about that. Thank you for reminding me.
Meanwhile, Jade is annoyed that Grayven has Awakened two girls while she's still waiting to be Garricked and Awakened.
But she could have that done at any time. She's waiting for some type of innate teleportation power before she locks in her choice with Awakening. If she truly wanted to be Garricked, all she would need to do is ask.

Isn't safe?
 
Is it just me, or is Grayven increasingly more relatable than Paul?
For all of his faults (or possibly because of his faults), Gravy is the more human one.

People say Grayven is the power fantasy SI, but, really, take a look at POL. He's got two power rings, on speaking terms with multiple gods, convinced Hera to get a divorce, is quite literally walking around with an idealized body, is genuinely friendly with John Constantine, and is married to the Ophidian... not to mention Avarice Enlightenment, which gives him distinctly inhuman priorities.

Grayven has exaggerated human traits, but they're still human. Paul is increasingly more inhuman while keeping all his crazy in a human looking suit.

Being the Avatar of the Ophidian is rather different than being married. Also I'd say that most everyone generally agreeing with him and him being so... (Morally upright wouldn't exactly be the term I'd used, but I'm not sure how to describe it in english, though I guess how Paragon he is would kinda work), would be a bigger red flag for a power fantasy SI.
He's not about need, he's about want. A Paul controlled by the thread would still demand payment.
If the thread got to decide the payment, it'd be for them to enter his harem.
 
Well, Paul is easier to hate. Grayven is so much more relatable that Ambush Bug probably thinks that he is just an alternate Grayven.

Wonder what will happen in a few hundred years when all the people Grayven ascended become true gods?
