Howdy, partner!

What you see here began as a series of comedy-centric stories with the concept of an alicorn-ascended Princess Applejack trying to change a mismanaged Equestria for the better by humorously interacting with the other, quite lazy, princesses.

Not to mention a whole bunch of Changelings with nothing better to do but cause mischief.


The whole thing was set in motion by this gem:

~~~~~

>So, wait, why am Ah' a princess again?

>Because you seem to be the only goddamn one of those ponies who gets that a Princess need to do actual work regarding maintenance of the kingdom. You know how much city planning or trade negotiations Twilight or Luna have done? Fucking nothing. Everyone is obsessed with the world ending threats they think I should fight, but the minute I point out the free health care I have to work to maintain everyone goes quiet. And don't even get me started on Cadence, who can't even manage a basic meeting with the Equestrian Games representative. Fucking annoying. Go do actual princess stuff, because apparently everyone else got the pamphlets mixed up or something and thinks "Princess" means "Beat cop."

~~~~~

Are you feeling creative? Try your hand at writing a story! No contribution is too small and we love having new folks around.

If you're more artistically inclined give a drawing or sketch a shot. Don't fret too much; it doesn't have to be fancy and we appreciate artwork a lot.

If that isn't your style either, writers always need feedback. So tell us what you liked - and what you didn't - to help us improve.

If you are unsure about anything, do not be afraid to ask. We will gladly bring you up-to-date or explain anything you feel is unclear.

Thread 117, and we're off to the beach, because of course we're going to the beach in the middle of winter, it only makes sense!

Well, that one's new.

I don't know if this is amazing or just fucking hilarious.

>AJ is boring because she doesn't get the suffering stick but Chrysalis does

I mean Chrysalis is the bad guy, the antag, the one what makes things bad.

So y'know, s'deserved

Can't say it wasn't unique!

With the filename, it looks like AJ popped out of the orange.

Try to wrap your head around that one.

"Wow, this is... friggen weird."

>Am I going too fast?

"No no, you keep on like ya'll were doin', Ah'll... adjust."

>Yes, well... I have just been wondering, did you ever have to file any paperwork when you were made a princess?

"..."

>Just something to make it official, is all I wonder. Is that a process? Twilight didn't mention signing anything, but you'd think that would be one of the most important things, right?

"..."

>For that matter, were we given any land or anything when we became royalty? Twilight remained around Ponyville, does she... oversee that? Is this a regional thing? How does this work?

"..."

>For that matter, do our families get ascended status, or-

"Rarity?"

>Yes?

"We're on vacation."

"RAR."

"Va. Ca. Tion."

TRUE
HAREM
END

Notice no Spike in there....
>>
>>26009180
I'mma just say, I wish we had given Spike more Shiny moments, which is less "He's useful and totally a cool fighter and all that" and more "Look at them cuddle and talk and have all that chemistry, they're adorable!"

Maybe this arc is a good time to fix that, as Spike is really lacking in genuine heartfelt moments.
>>
>>26009259
God I hope so
>>
>>26009259
Spike's at a bit of a disadvantage because unlike Shiny, he has to prove he's actually useful, Shiny you just assume is a little capable, but Spike has to be built up because he's already dirt low in the show.

That said, yes, I hope we get some Spike/AJ moment with like... emotions and stuff, well written emotions.

Like the Celly/SA or recently Chrysalis/SA stuff, that stuff is really damn good. The dialog, the chemistry, the back and forths, I feel it, and it makes me like seeing these characters together more, I'd like something like that from Spike.
>>
>>26009358
Someone better, because I can't provide two way character dynamics at all
>>
>>26009401
As the guy who wrote a lot of the Celestia/SA things(but not that recent one), uh...

I can't write Spike.

At all.

AT. ALL.

Just, can't write him. I try, and all the dialog comes out so unnatural and forced, I've deleted THREE five-part stories because I was like "This is so fake." He is my "One character". You know, that one character you just plain can't get a hold of. He is that to me. I wish it wasn't so, but it is.

I can't write Spike.

LAST THREAD RECAP, TO THE BEACH WE GO EDITION!
>AJ considers trying to use her magic some more, but keeps getting interrupted.
>88 continues her wild trek, following the mole Clay into a weird underground city, where he takes her to meet the mysterious 'Birdie', who oversees it all.
>But when the group arrives in the stalactite that houses her, they find that unlike what you would expect, she's not a bird at all! She's a pony!
>More specifically, CANARY GEM! She's the one who 88 replaced when she awoke after being taken over, and Canary is none to happy about it, attempting to kill her with a trap door!
>...But 88 can fly.
>So, instead, a fierce battle begins between the two while Lavan and Clay look on! Their anger keeping them going while Raging on!
>And on... and on... and on... and on... and- we'll come back to that one later.
>Two notices all the Crystal Ponies marching and bugs Cadence about it.
>56 continues his time with Jetset while making his way to the castle, noticing it looks quite weird from here.
>But, before they can make it, they are confronted! By none other than... A CHANGELING...Just a changeling infiltrator, not named yet.
>They say they're going to take 56 to the Empire, but he's having none of that! He kicks that ling right between the legs... and it turns out it's a mare.
>Even Jetset calls Bullshit.
>A battle begins with 56 struggling not to be caught so he may reach the castle and find the Common Room, but just when all seems lost, he is saved by none other than the Nightgard Captain herself with a dynamic kick! Mourning Star!... Who's real name is Potsticker, but she felt that was not befitting a night gaurd.
>She brings Jetset and Harshwhinny up to date with the goings on, and then realizes she's made a terrible mistake when she finds out the changeling she just beaned in the head wasn't an invader...

>...It turns out Shining forgot to turn off the shield for Twenty Nine, and terrible things have happened.
>After that mess, AJ and Chrysalis confront each other, and bicker like AJ was her roomate and she brought back a scratched CD, instead of foes. The others are not complaining.
>Chrsysalis asks her to take the changelings back to the Stadium, as she's not up to talking to them right now because of rockpunchrealted reasons, and AJ agrees, both leaving amicably.
>While doing so, AJ is confronted by the changeling with the potted plant, who asks her if this is the end, since there's no room in the Empire for his plant with all the land taken. AJ assures him, and insists if there's no land here, he'll have to set out and find it, wherever he can to let his plant grow.
>And she's gonna help him.
>Back at the train, Pommel, 32 and 77 are helping the now slightly depressed 29, who will not blink. He just won't.
>In helping him, they have him run over by rampaging ponies, dropped in front of a train, and then face down in a fountain.
>They are not good at this.
>But Sweet Note is having fun with Chitania and 13 and having a ball in the Empire, that's nice.
>While walking away with Chrysalis, Shining is confronted by his entire populace, who all have something to say.
>And that is that it's a very special, totally not made up holiday! Yep! This absolutely real and in no way made up so they can have Shining and co out of the castle holiday is how the CE ponies show their royals how good a job they're doing by sending them all on a trip, and if they did a good job they go to a nice place! That makes sense!

>>26009607
>This holiday that is SO REAL means all the upper CE government get the time off, so everyone has to go! Everyone! Including Chrysalis who they are including to show they consider her one of them and totally for zero other reasons! It's so real!
>Having no choice, Shining humors them, and decides to take the time off, thinking they just need some time to assure themselves their royals can be trusted.
>It takes some convincing, but he gets Cadence and Chrysalis to agree to go, with the others including Celestia needing no argument.
>Pinkie seemingly gets impatient as one by one the main six arrive to get on the train, but it always turns out to be something else.
>Until the end, that is, when it turns out she was being impatient. Huh.
>Long story short, she got a hearshy kiss, and now it she and the other four traveled to the Empire on Centitrain and picked AJ up... yep.
>Fancry begins his investigations! First off hiring some assistants. Such as a Mrs and Mr Hackaway.
>Who are totally not 12 and Screwloose.
>He is then called down to the cells, where he is spoken to by Flim and Flam, who try to pitch their sorting machine to speed up his search. It's good in theory, not so much when they realize they can't get it out of the cell
>Their breakdown realizing is interrupted when a certain someone is found in the castle, someone who scrams "SPIDER NOISES!" a lot.
>Arana and Blueblood are questioned, and it's determined they're officially POI thanks to where Arana lives and what she's capable of.
>So, despite the fact they're terrified with her, she's rooming with flim and flam!

Wow, this was REALLY disjointed and hard to keep in a straight cohesion for the recap, so if I missed something oh god I'm sorry but all the scrolling up and down is not healthy for me.

Set a good example for the new year and take it easy on me.
>>
>>26009638
It occurs to me...is Chrysalis actually going to have to legit say 32 was right about something?

And not just mindzotz him after so he forgets?

In other words, you want us to make Spike the prince of all dragons who goes out on a journey randomly and comes back an untouchable badass.

Next you'll be telling me we should make Trixie be Luna's student... wait.
>>
>>26009730
You got better ideas, Johnny High-Horse?

How about we just make him a changeling? Then the reeeeeal writers will get ahold of him and the situation will resolve himself.

>>26009730

...has 29 guy ever written for Spike? Like... ever?

Don't ask me why I'm asking this.

>>26009754
>You got better ideas, Johnny High-Horse?

Make him the straight-guy?

We wanted to have AJ be less of that anyway, someone needs to take over.

Can someone in the know give me an overview which characters are now beach-trip confirmed?

And maybe which characters are tied up where in general? It gets so confusing whenever I feel like writing for a character I haven't written for before.
>>
>>26009856
Sure!

>Ce crew consisting of Shining, Cadence, Two Chrysalis, 18, 42, Spitfire, Sombra and Mane-Iac are heading out to the Beach right now

>Main Six and Spike are also on their way there right now presumably(Neither destination is confirmed yet, they're just in transit.) riding on Centitrain.

>13, Chitania, 41, 77, 32 and 29 are in the Crystal Empire with the rest of AJ's lings
>As are Sunset, Pommel and the five other guards + Daw.

>88 is currently in Fucked-Up-Wonderland with Lavan.

>MM, Zecora and Trixie are back at Ponyville, as is Cheerliee.

>56 is with Jetset, Harshwinny and Nightguard Captain outside of Canterlot Castle, fighting Changeling-mare-who-looks-like-a-dude

>DT and SS are in Canterlot.

>PJ is MIA

>7 is hiding out in the woods

>Arana and Blueblood are with Flim and Flam.

Thank ye kindly. Now let's get these typing fingers warmed up. New Year Hype!
>>
>>26009979
> Spike isn't that hard to write, just don't ask the show writers.

>He's more mature than he lets on, or should be. Sarcastic, snarky especially with Twilight when they have a chance to play off one another. I prefer to write him as annoyed when others just assume he's a little kid simply because he's a 'baby' dragon. Likely very knowledgeable about magic while not being to do it himself. Likes pranks, generally carefree when not put on the spot.

>His conflicts are generally stemming from the contrast of his seeming young age and occasional bouts of immaturity and wanting to be seen as just as adult as the rest of the main cast. There are a lot of in-canon ways to play with this. One that I am surprised isn't used more is the idea that dragons grow with their hoard. Spike may gather up a small hoard in order to make himself grow, sacrificing his apparent childhood as a way to be more useful, or to catch Rarity's attention.
>>
>>26009811
>Well shit, now I'll just sit over here and be confused I guess!

Oh, shit, that was such a fast response I missed it.

It's just... that's kinda how 29 is, being sarcastic and full of himself and egotistical, as is Trixie, but I DON'T find either of them unbearable, is the thing. They're both characters who are like that, but usually you write them in a way that not only can I bear them, they're actually funny.

Was hoping for a reference to see if you did the same with Spike is all.
>>
>>26010031
See? Sometimes an outside perspective helps.
>>
Ok cool

So, how would you write him away from a very edgy characterisation?

Depending on the premise, I suppose a few ways. I guess I'd go with being more reluctant in direct conflict unless sufficiently motivated. Protecting his friends and those he cares about are the big ones.

If he's got a reason to go all out, he will. He's not edgy at all, the show seems to show he's pure-hearted in a naive sort of way. So basically the opposite of edge, which is better anyway.

>>26009449
I have no problem writing for Spike, but I haven't written any canon stories in ages.
>>
>>26010223
>. I guess I'd go with being more reluctant in direct conflict unless sufficiently motivated.

Well, shit, that's not helpful. He's already supergung-ho in the rest of the thread.

>>26010031
>ne that I am surprised isn't used more is the idea that dragons grow with their hoard.
Show canon contradicts this, saying that he goes crazy if he grows up just a little bit. Him going to pony size alone made it impossible for him not to hoard, and he didn't lose his hoard when he snapped out of it and shrunk, he was still holding it and Rarity when he did, which means his growth is a state of mind, not based on how much stuff he has, and is reversible.

It's just hard to write that when that's essentially a hulk-state that doesn't make him want to fight, just steal shit.
>>
>>26009582
In house please. The way we started. Despite popular belief, it's not hard to write Spike.
>>
>that non canon turned canon story of Spike playing Russian Roulette with Mayor Mare
That was a good'n.

Huh... never really thought about writing for him. Not anything against him, just never had an idea

>>
>>26010646
>>Are we still doing the Widow's regret Reunion or just leaving Pom Pom, Daw, and the Guards?
That's up to if someone wants to do the reuninion or not. If so, he has the excuse and the reasons to leave, and Daw and Pommel are together, the setup is there.
>>Can we at least have a throw away line that SOMEONE gave the guard orders before leaving?
Sure, if you want? I don't have anything, and AJ was abducted.
>>Doesn't Sunset have to go to her cell since her parole officers are all gone? Or are we just poofing her with the CE crew?
No, and no. She's barred from the castle and she doesn't have 'parole officers', she was walking around unsupervised before she met up with AJ and the lings in Canterlot(before the loveletter business), you can do whatever you want to her, since she has reasons to go and reasons to stay, it's all just if you want her at the beach or not.
>>Are we going to have the crystal Pones interact with Chitty (who saved their lives) or Sunset (who almost killed them all)?
Sounds fun.
>>I think you missed Screwloose and 12 who somehow (Power of crazy) got onto Fancy's investigation.
He did miss that, but Recap anon did not. Even got their names, the glorious bastard.
>PJ is fucking off in the woods for this arc
...Is that a suggestion, or... I don't know what you're doing with that one.

Other two questions will be answered by who you're asking.
>>
>>26010646
>Is 29 anon going to do anything with MM and co or are they just going to get high until this all blows over?

No, they're leaving Ponyville. Haven't decided if I'm sending them to the beach or not, but I AM using this opportunity to change their normal scenery. That's why there was that one story with MM getting investigated too, she's not held down in Ponyville right now and if she's going after 29(She is) then the others are going too. I am considering beach though for... reasons... story reasons...

Just as soon as I stop having fun hurting 29...
>>
>>26010737
PJ thing was more throwing in the blanket built in explanation that PJ has for being MIA at any time. She fucks off to the woods randomly.
Also thanks for the Sunset update, thought the only reasons she got out was AJ.
>>
>>26010737
Pommel wrote standing orders for the guard and Daw delivered them

>>26010577
Kek, awesome.

Kinda makes me want to do a different version of the Where do you want to eat? story.
>>
>>26010806
That was the unnamed guard back in Canterlot, I meant the named guys that had nothing to do after deliver Changelings.
>>
>>26010806
I think he means AJ gave the CE guards, the ones IN the CE not the... you know who I mean, Haymaker and the others. She gave them, or didn't give them, orders before fucking off.
>>
>>26010577
Yup. It's just that easy but I know it's in our nature to over dramatize a lot of stuff in this series.
>>
>>26010781
>PJ thing was more throwing in the blanket built in explanation that PJ has for being MIA at any time. She fucks off to the woods randomly.

She has a legit excuse this time too.

>>26010646
>>Are we going to have the crystal Pones interact with Chitty (who saved their lives) or Sunset (who almost killed them all)?

Oh fuck, now I want to see this, just to watch them keep treating Chitty like she's her comic book self.
>>
>>26010577
Huh, not bad.

Maybe do some more, you managed to make me like 29 and get angry every time a certain SOME FUCKER doesn't give him his hugs, could work for Spike. Not trying to force it on you if you don't wanna write him, though. That's not fair. Not like I'm gonna write Spike, so it would be pretty shitty to ask the same of another writer.

>WHEEEEEEE! GETTYUP CENTITRAIN!

The beast below them screeched, herded on as if her words had inspired it to push harder. The speed of the world around them picked up, wing whipping their open hair as more power was fueled into each of the hundred legs, and the electricity that arced around them carried them on faster, and faster.

They had left the rails behind, gone off the tracks without a care so long ago they scarcely remembered it, or even acknowledged it. They were racing, with all they had. Where to, only one of them could say.

Or maybe she couldn't say, she was crazy like that.

"Alright, taking all bets."

'I bet ten bis we're just going to her parents house or something.'

[Fifteen that it's another amusement park.]

{Oh, um... maybe it's a nice hotel?}

(Ah'll beat all of you, and lay fifty on the table it's another Partyland.)

~Don't even joke about that, mare!... But I'm so going in on that, fifty as well.~

'You're too young to be gambling.'

~Not too young to burn your ass!~

'Yes, you are. That would be illegal somewhere.'

~I'm willing to take the jailtime.~

'I meant me beating up a minor would probably be illegal.'

~No courts out here I can see! Bring it-~

A magical double slap stopped both of that.

'...Friggen stupid powers.'

"Awesome powers, you mean."

~I'm telling Celestia you're abusing your powers.~

"And I'll tell her what I'm using them for, and she'll give me a medal."

(She will too, Ah've seen it.)

{Do you suppose we're going somewhere with some new kinds of animals? I haven't gotten to have any real time with my animals in a while.}

[Then what on earth have you been doing?]

{...Nothing.}

[Uh huh...]

'Look out everyone, Rarity is looking to reveal something else-'

What followed was not a slap.

It was a crack.

'RIBS!'

"Gonna stop?"

'GONNA STOP!'

"Not ruining the trip?"

'NOPE!'

"Good girl.'

>HOLD ON TIIIIIIGHT!

They would have expected more of a warning before the train jumped into the air, had they been fools. As it was, they simply grabbed on to the nearest thing that could be gripped and held on as they flew through the air.

And flew... and flew... and flew....

>So, did you guys see the hoofball game last week? What an upset!

~I thought it was stupid, the ref totally shouldn't have called a foul in the last quarter.~

>Well, you think that, because you're wrong.

~I am not!~

>I can prove it.

~How!?~

The flying then stopped.

For six of them, at least. One poor fool who's claws had gone up into the air in exasperation found his flight did not end when the rest of the groups did.

His flight ended a short time later, just a bit harder than theirs did.

>Would a right dragon currently be headfirst in the sand? Didn't think so!

"...Sand?"

Ignoring the grumbling and flailing limbs for a second, they found that, sure enough, there was sand.

A lot of sand.

And water. Lots and lots of water.

'...What.'

>Welcome to SUNNY PARTY BEACH! This is where we're having fun!

[Why... here?]

It certainly didn't look like much. The sand was nice and all, but it was also rather barren, to put it simply.

>Because this is my auntie's cousin's cabin! Isn't it great!

She pointed, looking quite proud, but all anyone could see was a tiny little wooden structure, looking more like a lifeguard's storage house than anything.

(...Is it behind the shack?)

>What shack?

Their hearts did not stop sinking for a little bit.

>DIBS ON THE ROOM!

"Which room?"

>You'll know... cause there's only two, it'll be hard to miss.

And sinking, and sinking, and sinking.

>...WOOOO! BEACH PARTY!

The enthusiasm did nothing, for once, as they all hopped down.

It was only watching her slightly deflate that finally pushed them to act, before her precious dreams were crushed.

{It'll be fun, I'm sure!}

(Can't be any worse than back home.)

>Great! That's the spirit!... Bye Centitrain!

'Wait! Where's she going!?'

The thing screeched, all of it's legs moving in perfect tandem as it turned around, and tore off. Several of them tried to follow, instinctively, but it was too late. The sand created a perfect cloud that made following her impossible, and soon even the screeches of her electricity was gone, leaving only silence.

>She's not staying, silly! She's a train! She'll come pick us up when it's time to go home!

(That was... awfully fast, ya'll ain't just doin' this so we can't run, are you?)

>Nope!

>No chance!

>...Bye Centitraiiiin!

'Uh, Pinkie, think you jumped the gun a bit.'

>Nope! Cause we're all on the beach, and we're going to have a beach party! Fun in the sun! Wooo! No worries, no more running off in every direction, we're all right here, all together, and we're gonna have fun, just like old times!

"That isn't the issue, it's-"

>Nowhere to go now, let's parrttyyy! Oh! I know! Let's play volleyball... huh, where's my...

Slowly, the realization came to her, just as it had all the others a second ago.

>...All our bags are still on Centitrain, aren't they?

The silence was all the answer she needed.

>...CAMP OUT! WOOO!

Slowly, they all realized that, for better or worse... they were stuck here.

No telling which way civilization was, no telling which way to a hotel or store, no nothing. They were all on their own, alone.

With Pinkie Pie.

And she wanted to party.

"...So is someone gonna help Spike out of the sand, oooorrr...."

She grabbed them, all of them at the same time somehow, and their worst fears were confirmed.

It was going to be a long trip.

>>26016732
Well, there WAS a changeling Queen who could make their skin impenetrable, but it also turned them into a statue, and Chrysalis can turn her foreleg into an actual blade, but it's next to impossible to change it back if it goes all the way, she has to back off mid transformation.

I mean, it's feasible, it'll just horribly backfire.

>Because Love Magic explosions can be absorbed by her. That's why she has ruled Canterlot for the last 3 seasons.

The season 2 finale wasn't a love magic explosion, it was a shield. Shiny's Shield. The same shield that kept the changelings out not ten minutes before that scene. The shield he couldn't keep up because Chrysalis drained him of love. A love drain that, you know, got reversed... by love magic.

It was his shield, they made that pretty clear.

It was just sand as far as she could see, nothing but sand in every direction, but maybe, just maybe...

She reached out, just as she had with her battle with Chrysalis. Reached low, reached deeply, searched beneath the sand for something, anything at all.

At first, she could feel nothing, sense nothing, it seemed as barren as it looked.

Until... just out of the corner of her vision-

"Hey, AJ? Thanks for getting me out of the sand-"

>GAH!

BUCK!

How, exactly, he landed in the exact same spot, she would never know.

Nor did she know one other, very important piece of information.

To say they were shocked when they stepped off the train simply did not do it justice. To say they were stunned when they saw what accommodations they had been given could not put it to words.

To say said accommodations were, as the 'hip yougin's' put it, "Swank", did not even come close to doing it justice.

It was nothing less than a five star villa, decked out with impressive commodities, gorgeous views of the majestic sea upon pearly white sand, and even a hot tub.

Yes, just off the back, aligned perfectly to see that beautiful sea, was a massive hot tub.

It was nothing short of beautiful.

Are, are you implying that the changelings get good accommodations most times? They lived in a crappy ballroom that somehow had a draft for like 100 threads. Sure, the main three big ones get decent places to sleep, but... So does literally every one of the main 6. Even the ones that don't actually have super nice places to sleep in canon get some in this one.

It's obnoxious that people are so butthurt about what people choose to write, be it comedy vs drama, OC's vs Canon Characters, Changelings vs Ponies.

We're assholes on 4chan, as long as the result isn't fucking heinous, write what you want, nobody's going to stop you.

I actually wonder if that one guy that kept saying he wants to write for Canon stories, but couldn't because of all the changelings beings so ingrained and all that, and they would have to write around them, is even still reading.

>That EVERYONE is grossly negligent

...They... they all charged after her.

Shiny was RIGHT THERE and could have swum in after her if she actually fell.

The problem was she was flying above the water, so Shiny couldn't reach her. So Celestia, who was ALSO right there, flew above the water to go talk to her, which Shiny cannot do. Because flying.

Get it?

>...why the fuck do you bring all the ones that biologically cannot swim to the damn OCEAN?!

>>26022129
>But yeah, how do the CE ponies panicking mean you can't go to some cute pony pun for Aspen?

Because they literally had to buy a super fucking swanky looking place(since they don't want them to think they did a bad job according to their explanation for the holiday) literally on the spot that they could go move into that day?

When the travel agent says "We have a nice beach property since all our mountain stuff is booked for the holidays", you take what you can get and don't think too hard about it.
>>
Wait...they're not all going to the same beach?

Well fuck, now it'd just be stupid if the other characters went to a DIFFERENT beach. Guess they'll all be wallflowers at Crystal Canadapalooza.
>>
>>26022286
>Wait...they're not all going to the same beach?

They're all on *a* beach, we don't know if it's the same one.

The Main Six might just be further down the way from CE Beachplace, whole point of M6's thing is they don't know where they are.

>Well fuck, now it'd just be stupid if the other characters went to a DIFFERENT beach.

...Why?
>>
>>26022383
Seems to just prove we're all factionalized and shit.

Mane 6 and Spike get their little province.

CE Crew gets OPULENCE

Do we just throw whoever's left down into a tourist town nearby? I mean fuck either I get the feeling it'd just end in another 'STOP WRITING FOR (non-Shinyharem) OC'S!' Argument and I'm just tired.
>>
>>26022383
I can't see us putting them on different beaches. We would lose so many great character interaction opportunities for pretty much zero benefit.
>>
>>26022423
>Seems to just prove we're all factionalized and shit.

You are waayyyyyy reaching there. It's just a story measure to explain why Pinkie and co aren't in the big expensive place(because them all being in a tiny shack is funnier), and to setup potential future gags about the two, while also giving a highlight to Pinkie's state of mind(in that, she's looking for being it with just her friends to be like it was in the old days when they went on adventures) and her trying to force the matter.

>Do we just throw whoever's left down into a tourist town nearby?

Put 'em wherever you want. Hell, have them literally camp on the beach or something. At least one set of characters is going to have a particular location, I can tell you that.

It's a fun arc, man. Have some fun. Think up a crazy scenario where they, yes the OC's if you want, end up on the beach. Or hell, have Sunset chase down AJ and end up way off course, have Chitania chase down Chrysalis just to get away from the CE, have 77 decide to go hiking in the woods just to fuck with the formula, do whatever.

It's the fun arc man, put your fears of arguments to rest for a time, go wild with your ideas and have some FUN!

>>26022489
I literally never for a second thought they were on different beaches. I'm not kidding when I say that if we did reveal they were, I would call it a twilight-zone-esq twist, I am being 100 percent serious. Even though there is nothing to indicate they're on the same stretch of beach, I would call shamalamadingdong if they weren't. Hell, I'd call bullshit just because we'd miss out on Main Six Shack VS CE Villa shenanigans, if we don't get a prank war out of this I will be utterly mortified.

Ponies, Changelings, those weird pale things...'

'Morlocks huh? Hey I read that book! Cool. But yeah, they're up there on the surface, where the mushrooms are so dense the light doesn't come down, or when a certain giant mushroom at the center of the valley belches out a cloud of some of those damn pink spores, making a cover for them.'

>Oh fuck...

'Thankfully, the spores aren't what they used to be, big old case of infectile dysfunction. All they're good for is blocking the sun and giving the damn Morlocks a way to attack folks. But honestly, we're digressing here, your eyeballs were last seen deep in Morlock territory and heading deeper. So there's only one place I can think of them being.'

No kidding? You don't say? I...already...don't..have...to. It never occurred to me that I already don't have to write about the characters I don't want to write about and should instead rip the mane 6 from whatever location, plot, or even if they're in the middle of interacting with said characters I don't want to write about, so that they're together in canon.

So wait, remind me, how does that work?
All this shit in the valley(or plains, dont remember) is caused by Lavans magic.
And its all taken from 88s memory.
Does that mean that Canary 88 is talking with is just a memory of real Canary that died way back, given physical form?
If so, MemCanary shouldn't remember her family, or anything from her real life, right? Because 88 doesn't know it?
Unless you say it's somehow tied with Cordy taking over everyone and getting all that knowledge and all that info somehow still lying deep down in the back of 88s mind.
Or just classic 'its magic'.

Also, will shit stay weird over there after all is said and done? I would like that.
It was a wasteland, nothing in it.
Now there is whole ecosystem there, it would be shame to let it wither.

I assumed it had 88 scoop out what little mind stuff she could from the dying real!Canary -recent things and basic info to help her better fit in.

Pinkie looks to see a sharped tooth version of herself grinning back.

"Oh did you? The others defeated and destroyed their shadows...you ate me."

Pinkie glares at shadow Pinkie in the mirror.

"I'm not going away because I'm stuck inside you now, but that's okay. I'm fine being a prisoner in you. There's one little thing though...you know what I want. Don't you feel me gnawing at you from the inside? I know what nightmares taste like now...I want more. C'mon, you know how good it felt to take a bite out of AJ's Shadow. Maybe if you went around eating nightmares you can be a better dream eater than the dream eaters themselves."

{Harshwhinny}
~???~
~~~

She was a good infiltrator.

>RARRGGGHHH!

She really was, it wasn't just her imagination. She hit her targets every time, she never even came close to being detected, not a once. And never did the Queen ever imagine that she was secretly an heir, she never even suspected it. For fucks sake, even after she stopped hiding it the Queen still couldn't believe that she was secretly a mare, she was just that good.

Which is why she had to admit that, perhaps, she was acting just outside of her best interests of her continued profession when she devolved into charging blindly and swinging.

She would at least lean upon the idea it was, if nothing else, effective, if the bat-pony were not so easily outpacing her.

"Ya' made her mad, Miss Captain Mare."

'I can see that.'

[Hrmph, this is pathetic.]

{Most unprofessional behavior.}

>GIVE ME THE DAMN CHANGELING!

She didn't care who she had to punch, who she had to bite, who she had to kill.

She was going to get that changeling.

>GIVE! ME! THE! DAMN-

'No.'

It didn't hurt.

No matter how much her head literally being jammed into the ceiling may seem to hurt to the uninitiated, it did not hurt. Now, the fact the captain had done so by backflipping and not giving a single fuck while she was doing it, that hurt, just a bit.

"...Can she breath?"

'I hope not.'

[It would make everything a lot easier if he just suffocated.]

{She, Jetset.}

[I know what I said.]

And though he did not know it, it was exactly the wrong thing.

>THAT'S IIIIIIIIITTTTT!

She would not be paying for the ceiling. That said, it didn't matter if she had been forced to.

The looks on their faces when her magic exploded and grabbed them before they could react was simply priceless.

>I HAVE HAD ENOUGH OF THIS BULLSHIT!

She struggled, of course she did, but the magic was too strong. The rage was too strong.

[Well, this is embarrassing for you, Potsticker.]

'Shut up.'

>>
>>26026978

{No, really, being caught by magic? So embarrassing.}

'Shut uppppp.'

[How are you going to get out of this one, or are you simply going to kill yourself in shame.]

>GIVE ME THE DAMN CHANGELING!

She pulled, with all her magical might she pulled, dragging her closer like a spider to their prey.

"Ya' don't look worried, Misses Captain Ma'am."

'I'm not.'

"Ya' got a trick up your sleeve?"

'Nope.'

"...Uh, don't wanna give strategy tips to the captain, but-"

>GRRRRRAAAAGGGGGHH!

'It's okay.'

[No, really, do you want me to intervene? This is getting sad.]

{I feel honest pity right now.}

'You're going to feel something else in a second here.'

[Oh? And what's that?]

'Shame.'

[Shame? For wha-]

He was cut off. In fact, it seemed time itself was cut off when they descend. The 'They' in question being bodies. Lots and lots and lots and lots of bodies.

Nightguard bodies, to be precise, all of them raining down from the ceiling.

She hadn't noticed a one.

'Shame that you didn't notice my backup.'

[...I actually do feel a bit ashamed at that.]

{You should be.}

[Did you notice them?]

{Silence, things are happening.}

Those things were a lot of swords.

A lot of swords.

'Gonna drop me, or are my backup going to have to make you regret it?'

>...Wait, didn't I beat up most of you guys?... YEAH! Yeah, I did! I remember you! I kicked you into the store, and you went onto the couch, and you I stepped on, and you I shot with lasers!

'That's beside the-'

>And you I punched into a fountain-

'-this is really getting off topic-'

>-and you I tripped-

'-I assure you they've trained a lot-'

>-and I slept with your wife!

Everyone went silent, with the nightguard in question that she had been pointing to dropping his jaw in stunned shock.

>...No, wait, was it yours?... It was one of them! They all look the same!

'...w-what...'

>>26026988

>Look, who's almost or recently divorced? I don't know if that was enough to last a whole year, but... look, it was before the invasion, and she REALLY needed that, so- whoever it was, go down on her more often, would it kill you to give a little reciprocal? Come on! This isn't fair! She has needs to, YOU!... Or was it you?..

'ENOUGH!'

>I'm just saying.

'Look, we're getting really off topic here!'

>Oh, right... point is, I can probably take you all.

'I really doubt you won all that much without reinforcements.'

>And who says I don't have them?

Every nightgaurd tensed, teeth sinking into their blades as they stood poised, and ready for battle.

"She doesn't."

>SHUT UP!

"Not-mom doesn't send reinforcements for you unless it's a super important mission, she likes swarm stuff at the start, not later."

>SHUT UPPPP!

It sucked so much to see that mare smile.

'Well then... shall we test the theory? Guards! Get ready!'

They went low, preparing.

'Get set!'

They tensed, almost ready to jump, and she knew right away the hardest battle of her life would soon begin.

'ATT-'

~Uh...~

They froze, all of them, when a voice came from the darkness above, and a changeling dropped down.

~...The fuck, sister.~

>WHY ARE YOU HERE!?

~Majesty was wondering what was taking so long, she was worried he got arrested or something.~

>WELL SHUT UP AND HELP ME! I have the target right there!

Her fellow hivemate mashed a hoof to his face, slowly dragging it down as everyone hung around in awkward, half-running positions.

~You were just supposed to make sure he was okay and take him home.~

>THEY WON'T LET ME!

~Stop yelling.~

>I'M NOT!

~Look just... what's the problem?~

"I've gotta find the common room so I can start training to be a nightguard!"

~You're not allowed in the castle.~

"Slight speedbump!"

~You'd get arrested, and nightgaurds can't have criminal records.~

"...Misses Captain?"

'He's right.'

>>26027000

"Ah, I see... can I hold off on the search til it's legal? I don't want to break the law."

'An admirable stance on the matter.'

"Kay! Guess I should see how Cuz is doing anyway, he probably got yelled at or something."

~Alright. Then you can come back to this spot so it's fair and you're not cheating.~

"Awesome!... You can let me go now, Misses Captain! And don't worry, when this is all over, I'm gonna prove I can be the best most super nightguard there ever was!'

Everyone of the nightguards, the captain included, gave little more than a raised eyebrow collectively as he hopped down and walked up.

Naturally, he moved past her, and to her brother, giving her the stink eye all the way, before sitting down next to him.

"Thanks for sticking with me, Mister Jetset! Miss Harshwhinny! You guys are awesome, but I gotta wait till this is legal! Then I'm coming right back here to go back to looking, no cheating!"

[Understandable.]

{Professional, I respect that.}

'I suppose... we need some time to reevaluate.'

"Ain't gonna have too much time, so get ready! I'm gonna make it!... We ready to go, Dudemare?"

She stared, she stared to them, her hivemates, her foes, and her spectators, she stared to them all, every one.

She stared, and stared, and stared.

And then she lied down, and curled into a ball.

"...Ya' need a minute?"

It had been one of those missions.

{Unprofessional.}

And she needed this.

'...So, that whole wife thing was made up, right?'

She needed her moment.

'...Right?'

She was a good infiltrator...

META REASON
They said beach episode, not ski resort episode (which surrounded by snow, the empire is). Add to it we already did ski and snowboarding jokes with the cast and water is the joke of the month. This was all started because we wanted more drowning jokes and Anime filler.

In canon reason
they wanted them to go away and this was what they came up with

Also Changelings are weak to cold and water, so they are in danger regardless.

>Woooww...

The inside, unsurprisingly, was every bit as spacious and extravagant as the outside. Rooms upon rooms, a living area that was quite decked out in rather nice amenities, complete with fully stocked kitchen and fridge, and even-

"HOLY SHIT! They actually have a projector for movies! HAH!"

'I must say, this is... nicer than my last vacation, actually. I feel slightly ripped off.'

The stallion whistled as he walked down the hallway, peering inside to see bedroom after bedroom. Each one was unique in it's own way, one of them had a mini fridge, one of them had a water bed, one of them was plain and simple, and of course there was the massive bed in the main bedroom.

>Wow, full theater, three bathrooms, nifty little storage closet... oh hey! They even have an office-

There was a sudden, rapid, thupthupTHUPTHUPSLAM!

All he had a seen was a blur, something that passed him by in an instant, there and gone. Nothing but a flash of pink before the door he had been poised halfway in was slammed in his face, quite literally, and a loud CLACK of a lock falling into place rumbled the door.

He stood there, a single drop of blood dripping down from his nose, still frozen in the same expression he had made the second before.

>...ahem, honey? Do you want us to-

He heard scraping of something being pushed in front of the door, and watched as a sudden weight was pressed upon it.

{ARE YOU SERIOUS!?}

The changeling let out a cry of exhaustion, flopping painfully to the ground just outside the building, and dropping the massive structure she had been carrying with a sand-scattering boom behind her.

{I... you just... the whole way...}

>Moving on!

{The whole way...}

His insistence did not stop until she did.

>As I was saying, moving on!... Okay, so, since Cadence has picked her room, why don't we all pick our own? We can all sleep in our own places now-

"DIBS ON THE MASTER BEDROOM!"

>...Well, Sombra, there's one room left, I guess we're-

~BLAH!~

>MY EYES! OH DEAR FAUST WHY!?

The ghostly thing, now free of the sand he had been holding in his mouth, charged into the room, and soon enough...

SLAM!

>...okay! That was... that was the last room, guys!... That was the only one!... I need one for me too, you know? Prince of the Empire! They technically gave the trip to me!... Can I at least stay in the bathroom? They're all connected to the rooms! I can't... there's no not-connected bathroom, even!... Guys?... GUYS!?

Silence was his only answer.

>...Guess I'm sleeping on the couch...

He said, before turning around and noticing that said couch was gone.

>...why.

SLAM!

=AHHHHAHAHAH!... Sorry! But they forgot to put a bed in here!=

>T-... theater, that's the-

>How did she even... she wasn't carrying that when...

In this, the single most expensive, opulent, downright lavish looking villa he could ever vacation to, Shining Armor found only one simple answer.

>Spike
“???”
‘Rarity’
____

As it turned out, their own little patch of ‘paradise’ had a pier. It was the most ricketiest pier in all of Equestria, surely, but they had one.

And it was upon this one that Spike stood.

>We want something besides pickled stuff to eat, they says. Pickled this, pickled that, I’m sick of pickled things, they says. Don’t worry, guys, I’ll go get us some fish, I says... moments before realizing I didn’t pack a fishing pole.

He gave Charity’s barrel a good spin, then pointed her at the healthy looking blueish-green waters. There were plenty of fast moving blurs just underneath the surface. Plenty of plump fish and crab and who knows what else.

He closed one eye, poked out his tongue, put a claw on the trigger.

>One fish, two fish, red fish, blue fish… now who’s gonna wind up on my dish?

Almost as if summoned by his question turned rhyme, the flickering black shadows gave way to a much bigger shape that slowly burst through the oceans surface, arching and reaching, towering over Spike and casting a shadow over a great majority of everything.

1/2
>>
>>26031896

He stared, mouth agape, firing arm dropped, trying to make sense of this massive amphibian creature now staring down at him from it’s height in the clouds.

“Excuse me, little dragon.”

Its booming voice resonated with all the power of a volcano erupting, albeit with a feminine edge, though how Spike picked that up he would never figure out.

“I would greatly appreciate it if you did not shoot my babies. I cannot stop you but I am quite sure neither you nor your patrons would appreciate the fatally immediate consequences to follow.”

Dimly, Spike’s eyes found his weapon, and he started to chuckle.

>What, you... you mean this? Oh, ha! No, no, no, I wasn’t about to shoot anything, I was just checking the sights, is all, making sure everything was straight. And it is! Allll straight! Yes, ma’am, no shooting going on here, especially not at your babies, I would never, nope, for I am a good dragon who wants to live a long time and not an idiot.

“I thank you, little dragon.”

And the creature sank back into the astonishingly deep depths of the ocean just like that.

Chitty doesn't beat up random folks, she only attacks when she has a mission or they pissed her off by attacking her, anything short of actually being attacked she laughs off.

She'd probably insult her for not just punching the guy who pointed a gun at her kids, though.
>>
It occurs to me, would the Crystal Canadians be so happy to see Chitty if they knew she used their favorite tiny cute bug as a battery?
>>
>>26032547
Er, they know. It's not like it wasn't a widely publicized event when she was grabbed and Shining Armor punched her with a robot into a volcano. They also know she stomped Canterlot into nothing, a lot of them volunteered to go help rebuild it.

They weren't happy to see her when she arrived to kick Variolus's ass, but seeing her openly cry in public and seeing Shining Armor, the Prince, publicly forgive her probably means they're gonna put it past them, since if he can they can. That was literally why they weren't afraid of Two in the first place because if Shining Armor who they did so much to wasn't afraid of them, why should they be?

>>26032668
Nah, Shiny just did it better than AJ did. He actually got out in public with this "See? They're not so bad" at the start, AJ just kept sending the one changeling out randomly and never being seen with any of the others or stopping the guard from harassing them. It literally took, like, two days in Canterlot for them to go 'hey, maybe they aren't so bad?' when AJ did her field trip and Ponyville was almost easy with it that day, it's just bad timing that it wasn't already fixed. If anything, what proves that they're really the same is that they immediately started wondering if Chrysalis was really still evil, even though she's saved them twice, they just didn't want to look like dicks about it while they snooped around in her stuff, all because Chrysalis didn't go out and mingle with them. They're fine with the other lings, because they do mingle, but instantly they got suspicious of the one who didn't.

So I've just been wondering... In episodic terms, how much content do you think we have thus far? How many seasons you think? And how many episodes do you think each arc and mini-arc we've had would be?
>>
>>26034270
Lots, probably. Over 100 episodes to be sure, and that's if we leave out most of the fluff. Just the first three arcs alone are enough for their own seasons. Or if we cut it down immensely and made Chityy just the season finale, two of them at least. Cordy for sure is its own season.

Maybe 6, if we did it right? Could probably cut it down to 4 if we really skimmed
>>
>>26034270
I don't even know. Between the robots, the gala, the giant monster, the neverending mess that was Partyland, the freakin zombies, the move, the rescue / other invasion, and of course this recent one where AJ goes nuts, is a lot to take in. And that's not even getting into Mini's like to sleep over, or going underneath the castle, or just so many others. It would be a lot of seasons, or a lot of supplemental material.

Wouldn't Canterlot accepting them lead to other towns in Equestria doing that as well? I mean it's one thing for the crystal utopia in the far north to do it, but the place that they actively tried to attack doing it would be far more effective.

Oh I didn't, but we had Pre-CE Bitch realize she couldn't do it. As long as she is caffeinated she is smart enough to know she can't win and she won't know about the heart so she won't have a way around not getting Shiny love

Also there is NO Twi-Crazy. Because Twi-Crazy is her guilt for Chitty arc, which only started because Chrysalis was telling Shiny about the other queens. No Shiny love, no Chitty, No Airhead Twilight.

>>26037409

>She didn't know about the heart

Not like it's going to stay hidden all that long. Then she's going to start plotting and never stop until she gets a hold of it, only this time she's not going to be trying not to blow up certain people, she's going to be worried about takin over, which she can do now. She's going to devote all her time to stealing that thing.

And the Chitty arc happened because she was suspicious of chrysalis, Shiny just showed her where Chitty was thanks to chrysalis asking him to go check on her, she could have done that herself just as easily and set the whole thing off.
>>
>>26037448
More, We can't go to new places because named characters don't exist there Than cull are current lot.

>>26037456
Okay, who does she tel the story to to go check if she is still dead so Twilight can be suspicious and go release her? In fact without Shiny we don't have stupid changeling powers or movie night so Chitty doesn't even become a concept. And she didn't ask him, HE wanted to check.

I mean I know you want her to be evil but she wasn't even that much of a bitch or that good at scheming until she left Canterlot. She was just an idiot watching romance movies and content not to do anything.
>>
>>26037508
No, she asked him to go check because she didn't want to look suspicious by going out and leaving her self. That whole, whether or not she would even exist, that's a bit meta so bringing that up is kind of a moot point. And she was always good at scheming obviously, she just didn't get her drive back until she had a way to win. He just kind of gave up when discord kicked her ass. She wouldn't have him to go check on the ice in this timeline, but she still wanted to do it, so she would still be under suspicion by Twilight, and the whole thing will get set off anyway. Assuming that the guy who wrote that had the same idea of course.

She wasn't content not to do anything, she had given up because she didn't think she could win. With the heart, that all changes.
>>
>>26037528
Okay, smartass. Pick a pony in Canterlot to plop in Shiny's spot. One she can trust enough to share with, (Twilight was the only other one she shared anything with early thread as she let her do medical research). Because this entire discussion is a Meta "What if we just kept lings away from Canada" saying "Well that's meta it doesn't count" is not an argument. Just face the fact that the ling you love to hate wouldn't be a threat, Twilight wouldn't almost kill everyone, Changelings wouldn't be the root of all problems, and AJ would have all the development.

Opening, Pit-mini, 77 story is CMC episodes and end at the end of Blueblood's insurrection

>Season 7
Partyland/32mini/GuardVChangelingVPlushie
> Season 8
Fillydelphia fight, 18 mini, all the cordy hints from early thread to now are just put in episodes during this season to make it a continuous slow burn end with that dipshit hitting 88 with a Changeling infusion
>Season 9
thread 50 is episode 1, Pommel end episode 2, the rest of the season is Cordy and aftermath, ends with AJ leaving the farm
>Season 10
First 3 Eps is her return and Glimmer&NTL’s baby, Mid-season is Spitfire fight and Sunset arrival, season ends with Chrysalis and Hallucinated Chitty after Pommel’s elevation the captain
>Season 11
Everything from Armbreak to Rage-mode
>Season 12
First half is 12 and Varry, second half is Sunset and Christmas
>season 13
DnD&Wonderbolts are first half, everything to the end of thread 99, thread 100 ends the season
>Season 14
Thread 101 to AJ’s speech in full power armor
>Season 15
Setup and Beach arc
So at the end of this arc we should have 377 episodes.
>>
>>26037564
>Pick a pony in Canterlot to plop in Shiny's spot.

I can't, none of them fit, so she would go check herself, which means Twilight would be extra suspicious of her, which means she would still get followed, which means she would still let Chitty out.

If we kept the lings from Canada, then Chrysalis's gag becomes about trying to break in there and steal the Heart.

>Just face the fact that the ling you love to hate wouldn't be a threat,

Kay?

>Twilight wouldn't almost kill everyone,
Assuming the guy didn't have the same idea, the setup is there, Twilight just doesn't feel AS bad afterwards, and thus misses out on her development.

>Changelings wouldn't be the root of all problems,

Yes they would, as Chrysalis's gags were still pretty damn prevalent wellllll before she moved over there. Like, she was pretty much second billing from thread 2 on.

>and AJ would have all the development.

...From what?

Her just going "Alright, stop worryin' about the changelings!" isn't development, especially not early thread, it's her telling everyone what to do again because she wants her way again and is too stubborn to do anything else.

And I only say "Going all meta if the idea would exist at all" is moot is because, you know... maybe things just get boring with no conflict and the thread ends after the gala, because nothing else really gets set up and without Chrysalis's parts there's no 32 or whatever, so maybe interest just wanes because it's all about Spike right then, and he clearly didn't manage to really hold on to the spotlight or peoples attention, and this whole thing just ends around thread 10. Going down if someone would have an idea or not is a dangerous road.

>>26037605
> You know, the guy we aren't having them interact with.
So then she does something else to get the Heart? Which... is what we're talking about, yes.

She'd still go after it, and never stop trying to take over, is the point.
>>
>>26037628

Blueblood, Flim and Flam, Fawntine, Stallingrad, Pennydrop, Gryphons, Pirates, the populous. All could be motivated without bugs
>AJ would develop because she would solve it instatly
No, she would get development because everyone would gravitate to her and Spike by default.
Speaking of Spike, I already had 42 being taken in by Equestria instead of the empire and supplementing Spike, So he doesn't get pigeonholed into "Asshole with a gun"
She didn't know about the heart until she was already there, her plan until that point was fuck Shiny, drain him, and win. and so what if she gets the heart, she is all powerful for 10 mins and then dies because no one gives enough of a fuck about her to revive her.

You're clearly baiting at this point. I'm done with you.
>>
>>26037712
I forgot about the Trainfight, good looking out.
>>
>>26037730
>Blueblood, Flim and Flam,

Those would happen regardless, the setup was pre-Chrysalis even.

>Changelings have to be causing everything bad

Didn't say that, just saying that nobody really cared about setting anything up with them or continuing with them early thread, so saying "Well, maybe this guy didn't have this idea" is the same principal.

>No, she would get development because everyone would gravitate to her and Spike by default.

First, that didn't answer my question of 'from what?" but i'm not getting one for that, clearly.

Second You mean Spike. Not Spike and AJ, Spike. Which is what we did, the not-CE writer guys gravitated towards Spike and made him the star of the Canterlot side, and essentially made AJ a side character in the arcs while he was there. There's still nothing saying she'd get development and not just be right all the time while Spike goes out and does all the arc stuff.

Speaking of, I kind of wonder if we would have gotten that hugeSpike VS Chitania fight in this timeline... I mean, if we did he'd win because he's the hero, but still might've been cool.

>Speaking of Spike, I already had 42 being taken in by Equestria instead of the empire and supplementing Spike, So he doesn't get pigeonholed into "Asshole with a gun"

Why? The tournament happens anyway, Chrysalis and the Lings had no effect on that, so he still gets put in that role.

>and so what if she gets the heart, she is all powerful for 10 mins and then dies because no one gives enough of a fuck about her to revive her.

Reasonable... if we have the same ideas.

See the problem? Why is that the same for Chrysalis, but the one guy never dreams up a dino-changeling? The burnout wasn't ever hinted in show canon, so why is this a thing?

>You're clearly baiting at this point. I'm done with you.

I agree, I think he just got a little jumpy because of past arguments, no need to really hold it against him. Come on, we have gotten pretty passionate in some past threads, it's understandable.

That said, one thing he brought up was 42 taking Spike's place... would that have meant no A-team in this timeline, or what?

Ah, my apologies, it's just every time I scroll past this thread, every post just appears to relate to how she doesn't have development (or as much development as Chrysalis) and this has been going on for how long now?
>>
>>26037899
The problem with the development is a lot of writers didn't want AJ to have any real conflict (hence the AJ is always right meme) but was fine with nearly killing Chrysalis every other arc. Without any real conflict to build her, the development stopped for awhile after "wants to fuck Spike and distrusts Chrysalis" which was thread 10. While said bug was in every conflict and got developed because of it.

I can find this out... first up, gotta hit me a bar, yeah, hit me a place where a guy's gonna know a guy, then they can tell me who's been seen with a ling or two. Oh yeah, then I just gotta shake someone down, get some names and faces, shouldn't be too hard. Maybe gotta spend a bit or two, but I can manage. Then I just gotta make it into their houses to confirm, should be... I dunno, flakes? Do aliens shed? Looks like they should shed flakes or something. There's gotta be traces left behind. Then I just gotta look at what they own... which I don't know, because I don't know what they're like, cause I spent like two minutes with them and one of them was all sad and shit... should not have been quick to run.

Over the sandy ramparts flung a horribly destended balloon, bulging and creaking with water, sea shells, kelp and seaweed flying through the air towards Applejack with all the grace of a fat stroke victim.

>Oh no ya don't! Not this time!

Applejack's horn ignited in red sparks, this time she'd use her magic properly, she'd stop that stupid balloon right in mid air, then chuck it back at Pinkie, that'll show her-

>NNG!

>>
>>26040518
The balloon however, was waaaay heavier than it looked

"Uhh.... wow"

Instead of plummetting quickly through the air onto the Princess, the balloon sort of ambled, awkwardly towards the ground, where AJ experienced the cascading emotions of regret and futility.

'Ohhhhhh, so that's what it looks like in slow motion.'

The balloon didn't so much fall onto AJ, as much as each individual roll slowly folded onto her, still dumbstruck by her strained attempts to arrest it's movement completely.

"That's, wow, that's weird, is it gonna-"

KERSPLOOSH

>Come on... come on...

She was trying.

She was really, really trying.

She had her brow furrowed, she had not looked away from the paper for a moment, she was trying, she really was.

But still thinking about it was so hard.

All these numbers, all these facts, all these words, she could only barely make sense of them. All this information about percentages of taxation on goods ranging from Crystal Berries to even a slight cost of production tax on Flugelhorns to minimize the environmental damage done during production, things about which roads need which particular blend of crystal because mixing them is apparently dangerous and all the different jobs needed to finish just a single pothole, so many numbers, so many words so long she couldn't pronounce them, so many.

She tried, she really tried to focus on them, but all she could hear were the cries of joy, the laughter, the fun just outside her door. The one in a lifetime event of hearing Shiny tell Two not to get on a surfboard, something she could only visualize as she heard the scraping of what was doubtlessly a massively oversized board across the floor, but not see for herself.

She tried to focus, she really did.

Because she knew if she moved that desk out of the way like she wanted to, like she truly wanted to, she wouldn't ever put it back.

She wouldn't come back into this room, period.

She tried.

For once in her life, she really tried.

...And it was making her wish she didn't.

Not that anon but I miss Coffeelis. One part funny, one part tension, whole part yes. Part of the main reason I started to like Chrysalis in the first place.

Now she trains herself in secret, ain't it? Or has anything changed since her run-in with Luna that while back?
>>
>>26041808
I like her more when it's not just a video game powerup, that she actually applied herself and now is as dangerous as she was on Coffee, but all the time, and still her cackling self is way better than it was.

>someone help her

That's the problem, everyone did.

When she slipped in her duties Shining covered for her, when he got overwhelmed 18 covered for her so she didn't have to help, when she needed to haggle to keep her shopping numbers down Chrysalis covered for her, when she needed someone to find the Crystal Heart or prepare everything for the Equestrian Games representative that was inexplicably meeting with them THAT DAY, Twilight covered for her. Everyone always has to cover for her and help her so she doesn't have to handle it.

Now she has to handle it, on her own, because nobody can just make her understand this, she has to actually work and understand it herself.

And it's hard.
>>
>>26042629
okay, let me rephrase that
someone help her understand, give her and 18 a heart to heart moment while they're figuring out what makes her learn, because she memorizes shit like how to do makeup and plans her whole day out with spa visits and shit like it's nothing. she must have SOME organizational skill, she just needs to figure out how to apply it to this, and 18 can help her learn that.

Given the two parties are at the same beach, what's the diagram of their lodgings?

Dude. Friendo. Bro.

Some fruends just cant be taught. For 18, it's a talent. Some are born with it.

Thats the difference between a prodigy and the average jane. The average shmuck has to.make up for it with hard work, dedication and the occasional al setback.

What you seem to want is an instant solution, so she stops beating herself up over it. But it's far more satisfying and likely to stick if she overcomes this on her own. The best you can do is write her making step by step progress at this point, or else it'll all be moot.

Think two california beaches.

Same coastline on a massive land structure, just spaced out so far that they're literally miles apart.

Theoretically, they could be within two miles of each other for line of sight to be just enough they can't see(to do a "If we just walked half a mile we could have seen that!?" from the Main Six for a gag if you want), or more if we want that. It's up to you, just same coastline and far apart enough they don't have direct line of sight.

~~~

She had not stopped crying since they got on the train. Nor had she let her ice cream tub go.

How it had not run out was a mystery to them all.

>UH BUHHHHH!

'Is she going to do this the whole trip?'

"She needs her moment, let her have a bit. Though if you reach for that ice cream, you will lose your hoof for it."

'Trixie is hungry!'

>I'M NOT A BAD MAYYOOOORRR!

"You're not dear, of course you are not! It is just shocking reveal, given them a shot. Your work will be recognized, of that I am sure. Just wait, and let time be the cure."

She sniffled, leaning into the kind pat on her shoulder from her zebra companion, and soon into a gentle hug.

>...I-I'm not a bad mayor anymore, I'm noooot...

"There there... take care..."

'...So can Trixie get some of that-'

That Zecora could throw a pillow without moving the mayor in her grasp at all spoke of nothing less than perfect skills.

'TRIXIE IS HUNGRY!'

Tap!

All three went still, and silent, when the tapping began.

Tap... tap... TAPTAPTAPTAPTAP!

When it picked up speed, they were still no more. Finding the source was easy.

Keeping their cool when the mashed face pressed against the glass, not so much.

>GAH!... What the fuck!?

'TRIXIE ISN'T GETTING ROBBED! FEEL HER GREAT AND POWERFULNESS!'

~NO WAIT!~

Too late, fireworks a plenty exploded out, shattering the glass, and knocking away the one on the other side.

'The GREAT and POWERFUL Trixie wins again!'

~YOU WANKER!~

'Wha-OH SHIT!'

For all her magic, for all her power, she was still frozen and helpless when the mare on the other side, singed and quite angry, charged in. She could do nothing to stop the charge, nothing at all.

~YOU LITTLE-GAH!~

That fell to the striped foreleg that locked onto her mid flight and effortlessly flipped her around and back out the train.

~YOU FUCKING BIiiiii...

'...Trixie could have handled that.'

>She's coming back!

>>
>>26043170

Come back she did, now covered in branches and dirt, wings pumping with a fury.

~OH FUCK YOU-~

SPLAT!

'NOOOO!'

Trixie fell to her knees in sadness, reaching out as the mare disappeared once again, this time covered completely in ice cream.

'You... you monster! It wasn't worth the cost! IT WASN'T WORTH THE COOOOSSTTTT!'

>Trixie? Crystal Empire sells Ice Cream.

'Y-you promise?'

>I promise.

'Oh... kay...'

They sat in silence, and mourned their fallen confectionery treat.

~FUCK!... YOOOOOOUUU!~

>Oh come on!

Once more, now covered in ice cream, branches, dirt and quite a lot of bugs, the mare flew next to the now destroyed window.

>What is your deal!?

~You wanna know what my deal is!? WANNA KNOW WHAT MY FUCKIN' DEAL IS!?~

She crawled inside the shattered window, like a monster emerging from a nightmare. As one, they all three stood together, poised, ready for another attack, ready to take on any foe.

As allies.

~MY FUCKIN' DEAL IS... Pommel wants to know if you guys wanna go on a vacation.~

>...
'...'
"...what."

~Yeah, Pommel's friend alien roped the patchy one-~

~Whether he wants to or not, apparently.~

>...Meh, I'm down. You girls down?

"Of course! This is just what we need to take our minds off the troubles at home. I can think of no better time when all of us should go and roam."

'Trixie didn't bring her sunscreen, will that be a problem?'

~No fuckin' clue, what's Trixie look like?~

'...Trixie hates that joke.'

~What joke?~

A water balloon pops on Spike's face.

"Spike get down!"

Squirts of water shoot down from the center tower of the sand castle.

Spike ducks behind the cover of a sand wall.

"Oooh if only I read up on water fights before we came."

Fluttershy gets into a fetal position.
'I only wanted to make a greenhouse...and a chicken coop...and a rabbit hutch...and a turtle...maybe an amphitheater...my penguin army was pretty cute...oh dear, that might actually have been a lot.'

[This is no time to be cowering, Fluttershy. We the rebel alliance will topple their regime!]
*SPLOOSH SPLISH SPLASH*
[Can't you use your chaos powers to get those penguins moving or something? We could use an army.]

Fluttershy concentrates, but a water balloon falls nearby splashing her. Fluttershy's horn flops.
'It's no use, I can't get them up and moving. I can't work like this.'

>It’s just… we’re kind of on a beach, right?

‘No, not kind of, we are.’

>Right, right, sooooo… with beaches usually come fish. Tasty… flavorful… fish….

Spike had never seen Twilight drool like that before.

“Fish that can be cooked any number ‘a ways…”

Now AJ he’d seen drool before.

‘…’

And then they both leapt on him.

>GET US SOME FISH!

“FISH! NOW! WE WANT SOME FISH!”

>EVERY TIME WE SEND YOU TO GET SOME YOU COME BACK WITH SOY CUBES!

“AH’ DON’T EVEN KNOW WHERE YER’ FINDIN’ THAT STUFF! THERE’S NOT A GROCERY NOWHERE NEAR HERE!”

He waited until they’d finished shaking his scales off.

‘Every time I go to get some fish, this big ass monster thing that looks as tall as Chitania in Titan-mode pops up from the sea and gives me some very subtle warnings that she’ll kill us if I shoot one of her babies, and her babies are the fish. I don’t know about you but I don’t want to die. But she’s not completely heartless. She gives me the soy cubes I keep bringing back. Here, have some more, I’ve got plenty.’

>>
>>26050654
They can, and it won't upset them or make them sick, but they don't unless it's fed to them. Generally it's only done in coastal areas because Fish have a high salt bodies in them, and salt is good for horses. That said it doesn't give them what they really need, it's more like a vitamin pill.

But they CAN eat it, they just don't, and at best it's a supplement and not a primary food source.

She had gotten two down. Two whole papers down.

>You can do this...

She tried not to think about how easily she had seen Eighteen fly through them tried to force from her mind every niggling thought that hinted to her that even if she tried to help she would be just a drop in an overflowing bucket. She dared not question how much she would really be able to do, tried her best not to wonder just what it was she could accomplish with a turnover rate so poor for single page forums that required only basic math and a signature to complete. She did not think about it at all.

Nor did she think about the sound of someone bouncing a beach ball just outside her door.

She could already see it, the muticolored ball flying back and forth through the air, she could hear the laughter in her mind, practically taste the sand and feel the warm sun on her fur. She would look so much brighter with a good shine to her coat, and she had been working for so long...

>NO!

She dared not think about it, not a single part. Not the fact she was already getting up, not the fact her horn had glowed with magic, and certainly not the rumble of her barricade from the world.

She did not think of any part of it.

For her mind was needed elsewhere.

If looks could kill...

Well, they probably could, he's seen weirder stuff, but this thankfully was not one of the Titan's many powers. Still, if the option for being killed via a nasty look was an ability held by her, he would be dead. Really, really dead. He still might be, even if it's not by that.

Hence why he had to handle this himself, and not send one of his other soldiers to deliver this news.

>What. Did. You. Say.

"Ahem... due to the ongoing investigation regarding the possible influence of changelings towards the royalty of Canterlot as presumed by the possibility of outside influence by the compromised nature of the current royals of the Crystal Empire, no changelings are allowed onto the premises of Canterlot Castle until such time-"

>Are you stupid?

She let him get a lot father in his explanation this time. He did not call this a good thing.

>Are you really that stupid?

She brought it in close, uncomfortably close. A lesser pony would have moved away. Or, smarter pony, he clarified to himself. A smarter pony would have backed off just a bit when that growling, snarling face neared him.

>Listen to me, you pathetic thing. I care about one thing, exactly, in that place. There is but a single thing in all of Canterlot that makes stomping it to the ground yet again not worth the effort, and you have the sheer, blinding stupidity to come to me and say that I cannot go there?

"You can't."

>All because you fear politics, and influence... must I really show you, and all those idiots, what you should really be afraid of? Mind control is pathetic next to what I can really do.

Despite the power radiating off her, despite the sheer energy he could see rippling beneath her chitin, despite the heaviness her gaze alone pressed down upon him, all he could find himself focusing on was the fact that, weirdly enough, she had really nice breath. She must have been dropping breath mints like candy or something.

Please, that's... hrm, up to par for the rest of the so called 'gods' of this world, now that I think about it. Disappointing.

"I'm not talking about him."

That should not have elicited an amused raised eyebrow, but there it was.

>Oh? Then who?

"Brahmos was way scarier than you."

>...Who?

"He was a very large, very strong minotaur."

>...pfffttahahAHAHAAHHAHAHA!

Even Chrysalis couldn't laugh that loud, he was pretty sure.

>AHAHAHAH! A-a Minotaur!? A Minotaur! That's your bar for terrifying! That! A great big bull with sharp things on the ends of sticks! How terrifying! Who knows what those sticks are capable of in all their massive power!?

"That's not why."

>Oh? Oh please, tell me, tell me little pony! Please tell me what's so scary about this big old scary bull thing, clearly he's beyond the dragons I've ripped to shreds, right?

"Nope."

>Then what!? Tell me, right now, then what so ever is more frightening!

"...Ahem, Queen Chitania, if you attempt to return to Canterlot Castle, I'll have to fight you."

>....AHHHHHAHHAAHAHAHAH!

Correction.

Her previous laugh had nothing on this one.

>AHA! AHAHAHA! AHAHHAHAAH! W-what!? You can't be serious! What!? I'd murder you in one hit!

"Probably. But that doesn't really matter, the important thing is fighting you."

"Listen, I'm going to be blunt with you right here... you'd probably kill me. Super easy too, just no effort whatsoever on your part, just dead. And the sad part is, the one thing I usually rely on here is thinking quick and coming up with something on the fly. But that might not work either, would it? You're not just a dumb bruiser, you're smart. You're a damn smart fighter, I can tell that just from what I've read and seen. You think quick, you learn every time something new comes up and never let it hit you again, you know when to go full on and you know when to go to a sneak attack. You've got the power, and you've got the smarts. In a fight, me and you? I probably lose every time unless a miracle happens."

>So?

"So, the important part... is fighting you."

>... are you really so pathetic as needing something like this to prove yourself?

"Nope."

>Then what, exactly, do you hope to bring to this?

"Showing that Equestria is fighting you. And if we're fighting you, our allies are fighting you. And if they're fighting you, THEIR allies are fighting you. Then you lose."

She had changed. Any amusement she held before was long, long gone. Something else had replaced it. Something dangerous.

>And how, exactly, do I lose? Do you really think your pathetic armies can defeat me?

"Judging by how the Variolus thing went, maybe not. But I didn't say us, or even our allies, I said theirs."

>...And that means?

"It means..."

For the very first time, he was the one who went closer.

"That I am well aware that you'd rather let those changelings shoot you till the end of time then watch your daughter cry because you killed one of her hive. And she would, she would cry, and she would hate you if you killed a single one of them."

She had gone silent, cold, deathly so.

"Fight us? The Empire will join in. If they join in?... Chrysalis is going to want to save face, and guess what? She's not your biggest fan right now. Shining Armor and Princess Cadence... that's another story, isn't it? She'd order you to protect them, and all of Canterlot, in a heartbeat, and who do you think Thirteen is going to join, you?... Or them?"

She couldn't argue that.

"It's not permanent, you can go back when it's done."

>And if I cannot, assuming they find something?

"That?... That's the reason Brahmos was scarier."

He shuffled past her, the conversation done.

"He would've known already what he was gonna do, and he would have done it already, and he wouldn't have cared."

She didn't watch him as he started walking away, eyes trained dead ahead.

>You didn't answer my question.

"No, I didn't. You'll have to do it for me, if it comes to that. Let's hope it doesn't, for both our sake."

He kept walking further, and further and further.

She never pursued.

"Have fun spending time with your daughter, she's got plenty of free time now, just like you do. I'm sure you'll pass it somehow, together."

She left without another word, for she had other places to be.

"Me?... I'm gonna go party like it's the last day of my life."

So did he.

I don't know how to take what he just said.

Like... is he actually calling her out? Giving a subtle compliment? Is this a threat or something?

I get what he's saying, just not sure how to interpret his side of it. Closest I can get is that he essentially just went "I see your real weak spot now".
>>
>>26056080
he figured out Chitania
straight up he figured her out, he now has a general idea of how she will react to most things and how to make sure she's complacent.
She has no hope of ever beating him now, because she can't even fight him anymore.
And she can't do anything to change that because she won't ever be able to abandon her daughter.
>>
>>26056151
speaking of 13...
HOW LONG DO CHANGELINGS LIVE
13 HAS LITERALLY BEEN ALIVE FOR MORE THAN 1000 YEARS
>>
>>26056163
Chitania was never said to have been sealed 1000 years ago. In fact, everything points to it being WAY more recent.

The fact she only knew about Celestia, the fact that Momsie was the one who sealed her up and even 10 was around in Momsie time, and how long she survived in the ice all point to the fact it was wayyyyy more recent.

Further evidence, her mother was terrified of Celestia, specifically, not Luna. This would make more sense if it was after Luna's banishment.
>>
>>26056182
...huh
we really need to get a history lesson on about how many years ago this all was. because for all we know the only reason 13 even looks like an adult is because she was low on love in the previous years and she's actually only like 10
...holy shit this makes much more sense, why would Chrysalis wait so long to get desperate like that? She wouldn't, so it HAD to have been a recent development.
>>
>>26056080
>Closest I can get is that he essentially just went "I see your real weak spot now".

That's what I took away from it, which kind of takes away from the whole 'based' thing for me. It's just not a real 'threat', you know? He's pretty much saying "I know your weakness, and that it's the fact you care about your daughter!" Not really something that makes me think that's impressive.

I personally still liked the scene just because I liked seeing Pom reconcile the fact that he HAS seen scarier, and it's got nothing to do with power levels or anything, but just at what they're willing to give up to get their goals and what they'd want to protect.
>>
>>26056284
I don't think it was supposed to be impressive, more something to showcase Pommel's travels helped him understand some stuff, and like said have him understand just what Chitania is.

Like, she's not like Brahmos, she doesn't kill on a whim, she's not obsessed with taking everything over and she's not one to end everything just because she feels like it. She has power, more than Brahmos ever could, but she doesn't have that same mindset. At least, not anymore. She probably would have killed without reservation if the opportunity had presented itself before Thirteen's re-emergence. She didn't have anything to care about or anything to hold her back before, their lives were just there because of her convenience. It's not about what she can destroy, but who. I liked that he pointed out that, capability wise, she could probably wreck most anything, the whole army included, but that wasn't what was important. What was important was who she was fighting. Brahmos was scarier, because no matter who you put in his way he would cut them down if it meant getting to his goal. Chitania's less scary, because put 13 in her way and she won't move an inch.

I loved that last line "I don't know, you'll have to answer it for me", because he acknowledges that despite it all, it's up to her if she wants to break free and just do it anyway. If she wants to be like Brahmos, he can't stop her, nobody can. Might be reading too much into it, though.

TLDR, it didn't make me think he was a badass, because obviously there's nothing brave about what he just said essentially if you try to hurt us, your daughter is going in the line of fire too! but there's a lot about his character in that.

A short while later, the two looked up at the gleaming metal tower that had been erected in one of the poorer regions of Canterlot city, and the small building beside it.

>Are we ready?

"Of course"

They stepped into the building, full of electronic equipment, and each put on headsets

"Three"

>Two

>COMING AT YOU LIVE! IT'S FUZZY AND THE BUZZ!
>>
>>26056284
I think he's a bit less cold than that. I think he knows that when you have people that care about you, you have different perspective on things and the fact Brahmos seemingly didn't and was a complete socio/psychopath made him a more dangerous person.

Maybe he understands how gutted a person can be when losing a family member considering he saw Daw's foster father die right in front of him. If Evergreen somehow came back with his head stitched back on, but cautioned Daw against a dangerous life, odds are she'd listen to him.

It's not about weaknesses, it's about people, and understanding people could make Pommel a very effective captain.

...also it occurs to me, does he have the authority to investigate the guard of other cities? I remember a crooked guard being one of Sweet Note's gripes and I doubt he'd be down for that happening in his hometown.

If they're Equestrian cities, sure? I mean, he is captain of all the guard, right?... or is he? We never see him deal with non-canterlot guard...

Huh. Maybe not? I guess it would be out of his jurisdiction, the head of the LA police force can't go check on the Miami branch, obviously... HUH.

I dunno.

>...also it occurs to me, does he have the authority to investigate the guard of other cities?

If it's like real-world, no. That's an outside agency(think FBI or whatever)

In magic horseland, if you want it to. Maybe he gets a special permit or something, since he's the head guard of their capitol.

He got it in his head to do what was supposed to be a mini-arc with AJ that spiraled into something bigger and longer and ended with armor-AJ giving a speech, and didn't have time to continue doing their show inbetween, and it kind of slipped my mind.

Honestly? I didn't even think anybody missed them.

>Or maybe you're just like the fuckin' princesses and cause you get ta' live in the bright and shiny and happy place, it just don't cross your mind that maybe there's a shitty part where life fuckin' sucks! Where do you think poor ponies go, dumbass!? You think we just vanish or something!?

"..."

>No, you know what? You wanna know about it? Go ask your fuckin' guard friends!

Just like that, any doubt was gone.

"Now I know you're full of it."

>Oh yeah. All you guards are nice and kind and you don't never shake us folk down for some money or ask for 'tips' not ta' cart us off to jail, right? Not you!

"My folks knew almost every guard in that city, you liar. My grandpa was a guard, and he was as straight arrow as can be. You, madam? Are probably just exaggerating because they, surprise, didn't like how you acted and did their jobs right, IE arresting you for doing something illegal."

>Whatever you gotta tell the papers, honey.

"It's my fucking hometown!"

>And you know it bout as well as you know everything else, which is just what you want to see!

"You know what-"

~Are you seriously messing with my fucking food?~

"..."

>Chitty!

She didn't even think, just dropped down. Sure enough, the massive Titan caught her with her mouth, not harming her in the least, and placed her right in front of her all encompassing frame.

>Now what, huh!?

Now? He was simply put, done.

"...I have a vacation to attend to, thank you."

>That's what I thought!

"Just let her have this one, Pommel, you're already getting stares."

A lot of stares, actually. This wasn't going to look good tomorrow.

Unlike the mare who he let behind, who was practically beaming like the sun.

>Thanks, Chitty!

~Hrm.~

She hadn't even been interested, and Sweet Note knew that without a question. She didn't care at all.

>Cause I don't have to worry bout them either...

Off they went, fast as she could go.

Much the same, Pommel was hurrying to the train as fast as he could, cursing his need to help when he heard panicking

"Just had to stick your nose where it didn't belong, didn't you? She was so full of shit..."

As he thought about it, he did remember driving by this one street one time. He never did go down it, but always wondered where it went...

"...I should probably go visit mom and dad sometime."

But later, of course. For now, he had fun to attend to.

Then he could deal with that weird niggling sensation in his head.

>>26065107
Ahhhh, there we go. Uppity guard BTFO'd, and the balance is restored.
>>
>>26061949
perfect
>>
>>26065143
Does that count as getting BTFO? She didn't get one over on him or anything, she just called him out for not knowing his town has a really shitty side to it that he, growing up middle class in a nice family with a stable income, just plain never even knew about or acknowledged. Lots of towns have exactly that, the 'bad parts' that everyone swears isn't THAT bad.

I really, really like the potential it sets up, if Pommel goes down and sees his home city isn't exactly as he remembers it, that there was something this bad going on RIGHT THERE and he never even knew, it might be a real eye opener. This has way more potential than the him-Chitty talk.
>>
>>26065234
this
he has enough power to fix things now, let's see him do something with it.
>>
>>26065234
Think the him-Chitty thing was more about establishing character, for him and Chitania especially, this was more down to earth and simple. I liked the part where SN completely acknowledged that Chitania didn't actually care if Pommel started a fight, and her brushing off the 'food' comment, because it fits her character that as a ex-prostitute, she knows how this game goes. She's got something, Chitty wants something, that's that. And like said, Pom gets that sometimes there's stuff out there the crown doesn't know about and it's plain awful, but reconciling that with the place you grew up is damn hard to do, especially when as a guard he probably had a pretty good life.

>Does that count as getting BTFO?
Honestly, do either of them?

>"I know you want start a fight because if you did you'd feel bad for making your daughter feel bad. It's almost like you want a relationship that you missed out on, you sissy. Yeah, that's right, you can kick MY ass easy, my whole armies ass even! We can't do shit against you, but jokes on you, you're not that shitty a person! NEH!"
VS
>"You don't know shit about that place you've never been to and never seen and never wanted anything to do with and probably would have had an issue with if you saw, but you didn't see it, ASSHOLE! That means you suck!"

Neither of them are really proving a point here...

>>26065234
Personally? Wanna see him and AJ(who SN also told this to, though she didn't say which city) decide to go down there just to check it out and go fucking nuts when they realize how terrible it is.

It had been a long, hard, brutal battle... and there had been no winners.

All around them was nothing short of total devastation. Castles, topples. Ruins of what had been homes shattered to the ground, and fire... so much fire. So much fire had consumed so much.

When they pulled themselves from the rubble, from the ashes that had taken everything, they looked around together, ones who had fought so long, so hard, for so little. They had fought... and had nothing to show for it.

Everything was gone, and they had done it. All they could do was feel the regret, the loss... in silence.

>...Well, that was fun.

"Yeah!"

'Think we got carried away, darling?'

[Nahhhh.]

{If anything, SOMEONE wasn't pulling their weight.}

(I said I was sorry...)

~So, what do you guys think we're doing tomorrow?~

>We'll figure that out later, sugar cube. Right now we need some sleep!

{Dibs on the soft spot-}

They all watched as the shack, their one method of shelter, collpased.

>...Maybe we went just a touch too far.

Their beach adventure had truly begun.

I can pretty much just give a list of things I was going to do back when the original idea was 'Pommel flees in terror while I world build around him', other than that I forgot a lot of what I did.

Also my editor advised me to stop referencing offscreen adventures because it made Pommel look like a Sue.

>>26065871
I got hesitant in the late stages of the story (specifically the Brahmos fight) and started taking advice from a guy who became my editor for the rest of it. Afterwards we talked regularly on skype and he eventually became quite sour on a lot of things in the thread and left.

I think he may have been the original pastebin anon but I have an awful memory.

He woke up in a dingy room, with dingy lighting, and a dingy massage bed and fully stocked minifridge that only had M&Ms and kitkats, but not a muskateer to be found.

Life was suffering.

>Did you get what you wanted?

The mare on the bed giggled, stretching one of those pearly white forelegs to the sky as she took it all in.

"Mmmm, I should say. Cup runneth over, don't you think?"

He grunted, shaking the covers off himself and perching on the edge of the bed.

>I have to find who is responsible... and get my revenge.

"Oh, darrrling, you sure you don't want to stay for another round? I know you have it in you."

Her head snaked around, trailing down his side and heading for a place it knew all too well at this point, he could already feel her breath.

He stopped her, brushing her off as he got to his hooves.

>No. I have business.

"Oh... such a pity."

Without stopping, he made his way to the door.

>I don't know why you bothered, it wasn't like you weren't going to get screentime anyway.

Gruffly, he slammed the door open, slamming it shut behind him as soon as he was clear.

Leaving behind wide, sparkling eyes, and a tight grip of hooves that pulled the sheets ever closer to her chest.

"And what... what if I didn't care about the screentime..."

She looked away, tears coming to her eyes.

"What if I just wanted.... my... my prince ch-DID YOU FUCKING BRAND ME!?"

Sure enough, there was now proud letters across her flank reading "Property of Shining Armor."

How she had missed that, even she didn't know.

"WHA... HOW...OH THAT IS IT! I'M GOING TO FUCKING MURDER YOU! I'm... wait, did he leave me money for the hotel? OH COME ON! YOU ARE THE SCUM OF THE EARTH!... Well, I guess Sweetie wasn't going to college anyway."

Wordlessly, she loaded up her grenade launcher.

"Oh, it is ON NOW MOTHERFUCKER!"

He traversed the dark streets, darting in and out without being seen... and occasionally taking down any guard who spotted him.

It was just what he had to do.

He slunk in and out, this way and that, until he reached his destination, the shining light, the glowing warmth of a place so familiar to his heart. That jingling bell as he walked through the door... he missed it so.

Such a shame he was going to bring this place to the ground if he didn't get what he wanted.

[Hello, dearie! What can I get for you to... Shining Armor?]

He sat down hard on the stool in front of the counter, slamming his hoof to fine wood, and growling like a beast gone feral.

>Give me... a whiskey.

[...Did... um... did you mean to walk into a bar? You saw the sign, right.]

>Hard.

[Oh, okay, I don't think we made that clear... this is a bakery. Bakery? Remember? Sugar Cube Corner? Cup and Carrot Cake? We're... I mean, we have cakes on our flanks, this can't be too hard.]

>Make it a double.

[...You know, what I'm noticing is the bigger problem of 'whiskey'. Just... any one? This is like going in to an ice cream shop and saying "I want an icecream please". There's lots, you're not being very specific. Admittedly, moot point since... you know, bakery, we're a bakery, but still.]

>And... some information.

[...Is it directions to a bar?]

{What's the matter, honey buns?}

[It's Shining Armor, he wants a Whiskey.]

{Oh...I have a rum for rumcake, is a rum okay?}

[You know, I don't think he's paying attention, let's go for it.]

He slugged it down the instant it was put in front of him, not even tasting it. It was good... that burn.

{Wait, didn't he fly out of the city on a speedbike or something?}

[So what, did he... loop around?]

{I don't know, smoopy.}

[It's a mystery, fluffycakes.]

>I need... information... on who did this to me.

2/4
>>
>>26066536

[Is it the poor sense of direction, the lack of understanding of basic conversation, or the reliance on movie quotes? Because I'm pretty sure all of that was your mother.]

SLAM!

There it was, right on cue.

'So, I hear you're looking for information.'

He could hear her strut, hear the tapping of her hooves against the floor as she calculated every step.

Feel the heat on her breath as she came so close to his ear.

'I happen to know a... few things.'

He slugged down another drink, feeling the burn once again.

[Wait, I didn't pour a glass that time.]

{Huh... hi? Can we get you anything?}

He droned out their words, useless lackies anyway. All he cared about was the one leaning on his shoulder.

>I need to know, so I can... go back.

'Ohhhh, poor thing. Well, I can help you with that. But it's going to cost you.'

>And what, exactly, is it going to cost me... Lightning Dust?

[Uh... do you have to do this here?]

{Outside would be much better, beautiful night.}

[BEAUTIFUL night.]

'The cost?'

He felt her smile.

'...You know what it will cost you.'

He felt her wrap her hooves around his midsection.

'And I'm going to enjoy it.

And he felt... when she tossed him across the room.

[...Huh, that is not how I expected that to go.]

He felt it when the new, temporary head of the wonderbolts tackled him, shattering table after table as he pushed him through the store.

{Okay, wow! Wow no!}

[Too much!]

He felt it when she lifted him up...

And shattered the bar with his back.

{Uh, should we-oh wow-essh-}

[We need to call-ACK! NO! THAT IS SSOooooo expensive... eeeehhh...]

'Come on!'

She landed hard on him, her hips locked around his.

'Come on, I want you to give it to me, and this is the best you can do? I thought you were a captain! Pfft, what a disappointment!'

>Oh... did you want screentime? I thought you just wanted to play a bit.

Her eyes went wide, and she tried to get away.

Too late, little birdy.

Into the display case you go.

>>
>>26066552

[Ouch.]

{SO much glass... do you need stitches?... All of them?}

[We might have to unravel the bear for this one.]

'...ahaha... ahahah... AHAHAHHA!'

[Or not, whatever, no reason to start making sense now.]

'Yes... YESSS!'

She took a swing at him with a barstool.

He took a swing at her with his hoof.

His won, and her nose met the ground away from him.

[WOW! Okay, abuse is never funny!]

{I... I don't think that qualifies.}

'YESSS!'

She bucked back. Didn't even have to think, just caught her, flipped her, and slammed her stomach down on the unbroken section of bar. She tried to get up... didn't quite make it before two hooves, much stronger, shoved down on her shoulder blades.

She was trapped.

'Well now... looks like I'm getting screentime next thread, aren't I?'

But she never stopped smiling.

>Looks like it.... so long as I get my information.

'Oh, you will... unless you hold back.'

He felt her tail swish, almost like it was making the smile she had on her face.

>....I won't.

This one little section of bar was all that remained unbroken in this place.

It wouldn't for long.

Her screams told them all that.

[....]

{...Didn't see it going that way either. Wow, just wow... um... can... can you take this outside?... No? You look busy, that's a no. Honey? We should leave and go get the guard.}

[...]

{Honey?}

[Uh huh, yeah, sure, that sounds great.]

{You're saying yes, but you're not leaving.}

[That sounds good.]

{You're sitting down.}

[...wow...w-woooww...]

{So uh... guess we're just watching?}

[...]

{Okay then... well... pfft, I could do that.}

[No you couldn't.]

{....See, this kind of shit is why everyone asks me if those are really my kids.}

[...wow.]
