Interlude 5 Up! (March 6th) · 3:11am Mar 6th, 2021
For sleep schedule reasons, midnight GMT -8 is a bit too late for my comfort level now, so I’m moving to hover fairly close to a few hours earlier.
So the 5th Interlude is up now! This is the last time we’ll have a separate section for Princess Twi, but it’s not her final appearance in the story, oh my no.
Getting to this interlude specifically: This is where we see a lot of my headcanon rearing its head. I’ve said this before in comments, but I am very Watsonian. I like to explore things in a universe, and I like to explore the consequences in universe. And when you take the universe of MLP FIM more seriously… things get bleak for their government. Depending upon how you interpret the timeline of the main show, they get their capital invaded a good five or six times within a three to nine year timespan. That’s absurd.
I’m also a big fan of science fiction and technology, and I think Twilight would very much want to improve the livelihood of her ponies. So taking tech from Earth only makes sense, and this interlude explores the military aspect of that. With a proper military, Equestria can defend itself and protect its interests, but will never, ever (at least under Twilight) become some kind of imperialistic world police force or something like that. Think less USA and more Starfleet when it comes to military philosophy.
But this is just the prelude. Next time, we’re heating up fast. For my readers who are unfamiliar with Danganronpa: Chapter Six starts with an investigation, and it only heats up from there. We’re going to get some answers to long burning questions. See you then!
Heh, so every post this week was put up early. I kinda like that.

At least if I'm being inconsistent with my stated posting schedule, it's by being early instead of late?
