A Gift of Nastic and Long Winded Snippets · 1:58pm Mar 5th, 2019
A week ago, MixMassBasher sent me a few snippets starring Nastic and Long Winded. They're short, humorous, and gave me a warm feeling in my heart.
Nastic and Long Winded are among the first of my own characters in pony fiction. While they starred in mediocre-at-best Society as We Know It, I have lots of sentimental value for them and the rest of the changelings there. They were with me at my roots, so remembering their shenanigans brings to me good-natured nostalgia.
So, here they are. Thank you MixMassBasher! 
"Comic 0": Where It All Began
"Longwinded!" Nastic the changeling cried out.
"Yes Nastic?" Longwinded answered back.
Nastic plastered a newspaper onto Longwinded's face. Longwinded could clearly make out the words, "The Canterlot Times."
"Why are our names in a Sunday Morning Comic Section!" Nastic shouted.
"Oh that... eh... well... funny story... hehehe." Longwinded replied embarrassingly.
"Well..." Nastic gestured with his hoof.
"I... urm... may have intended to submit to them a comic strip I drew for fun and accidentally sent them my diary that shows conversations we've had before by mistake."
"What!?!" Nastic asked in confusion.
"Our conversations. The ones I drew in my diary."
"Your diary? That should have words not pictures!"
"But words are sooo boring! So, I drew pictures instead." Longwinded happily explained.
"They seem to like them so I sent them other instances where we've conversed." Longwinded added on.
"You mean to tell me that the first ever original artwork of our culture is a comic of us conversing!?!" Nastic shouted in exasperation.
"Yes."
Nastic facehoofed.
"Comic 1": Crispy Changeling
"It smells soooo goood." Longwinded commented as he took a whiff of the batch of baking cookies.
"You'll have to wait a few minutes Longwinded." Nastic replied from the side reading a news article.
"But waiting's so boring!" Longwinded whined as he mashed his face at the oven door.
"Stare at that long enough and you might get tempted to go in and take a bite." Nastic warned. "Next thing you know, your head gets fried in the oven."
"That won't happen..." Longwonded reassured as he eyed the tray inside the oven.
Five minutes later...
"Nastic! My head's stuck in the oven." Longwinded's voice echoed from the depths of the cooking machine.
"Good." Nastic replied as he flipped his newspaper.
"Comic 2": Longwinded
Insides Nastic's mindscape whenever Longwinded is talking:
"BlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlahBlah..." Longwinded said while Nastic listened on, ignoring everything he said as he read his comic.
"Comic 3": Nightmare
"I, Princess Longwinded, hereby decree that there will be no more taxes and free hugs for everyling!" Longwinded proclaimed in an elegant dress.
Nastic promptly fainted at what he saw.
15 minutes later...
Nastic bolted upright from his bed.
"What a nightmare." Nastic exclaimed, relieved that it was only a dream.
"That wasn't a nightmare Nastic. I'm wearing this for Nightmare Night." Longwinded explained at his bedside still wearing the elegant dress.
"NO YOU ARE NOT!!!" Nastic yelled.
"Comic 4": Nightmare Night
"I hate you so much right now." Nastic said in the old changeling costume.
I don't why but this comic came to mind for this scene."Comic 5": Plenty of Nothing
"Hey Nastic!" Longwinded cried out.
"Yes Longwinded ?" Nastic answered back.
"You know how we had that problem of having too many bits but with no place to store it?" Longwinded said.
"Yes...?" Nastic replied, his voice peaked with curiosity as he put down his comic.
"Well I've found the perfect solution!" Longwinded exclaimed as he brought an enormous sized wallet that just barely touched ceiling.
"Thumbling Thorax!" Nastic cursed looking up at the humongous bit bag.
"I bought it from Flim and Flam incorporated." Longwinded explained.
"I see..." Nastic voice trailed off.
"One problem though..." Longwinded said with a chuckle.
"And what's that?" Nastic finally said.
"Now I have no bits to put in it now."
Nastic facehoofed.
