Bucking Nonsense


A Little Nonsense Now And Then Is Relished By The Wisest Men.

E

After being stranded in Manehatten, a changeling is saved by a young filly who is being terrorized by a monster hiding in her closet. After the horror has been taken care of, the changeling and the young filly become close friends... and the changeling and the filly's foster father become something more...

The second story in the the rebooted Cricket-Verse, aka the Nonsense-Verse

Chapters (4)
Comments ( 315 )

Next story up. I know some of this is familiar, and some of it is not. Please enjoy all of it, though :pinkiehappy:

Haha, that's awesome :rainbowlaugh:

I think that's the first time I've seen a Slendermane I like in a fic.

Could you please consider inserting spaces between paragraphs? It feels kinda blocky, as it is.

Keep up the good work, looking forward to future chapters :twilightsmile:

3894861 so ladybird ok
and holy shit slendermane+fedora there must be an image of that

3895431 second for and that was tales of the cricketverse

Not that I had my doubts, but I really like what you're doing with the reboot(s).

Also, I'm not sure if you set it up like that on purpose, but [hypnoeyes] you will include a shout-out to Mindy from The Animaniacs. [/hypnoeyes]
...
Please?:fluttershysad:

Can Slendermane have more cameos in this? I believe it could be a great supporting character.

Ahh, nice expansion on the original short. And I do believe that I spy a Romance tag, LadyBrass has a nice ring to it.

the changeling and the filly's foster father become something more...

Oh, [REDACTED] the hell YES. I like this...

It was hard to tell who was more surprised, Lady or Slender, but after a moment, the horror said, "Thank you. Look, I don't know if it'll ever be useful, but if you're ever scared, and you're someplace dark and scary, just say my name. I'll come running."

he... hehehe... hahahahahaha...
hah hah! Hahahahahahahahaha!
AH-HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! HAH HAH!
Hee-hee-hee... *ahem* Pardon me. It seemed like the appropriate time for an evil laugh, what with the forces of darkness now at her beck and call and everything. Seriously, I'm looking forward to the time when the evil ponies or things have her backed into a dark corner and she just smiles sweetly and says "You're being mean. I don't like mean ponies." and then all the bad guys get traumatized for life...
Oh dear God... Honey Darling is the next Alma Wade...

*Puts on a pair of mirrored sunglasses* What was that, sorry? :rainbowlaugh:

Slendermane should be grateful Lady didn´t put his head under the blanket with fluffy bunnies. :pinkiehappy:

Aw, you're not including all of them in one place?
Well, if you keep on appearing on the :pinkiehappy:FEATURED PAGE:pinkiehappy: everytime you post something, then I guess it won't be too hard to find you.

At a small gasp, the changeling looked up to see a small crystal pony filly staring at her.

Erm. How did she know it was a crystal pony? I don't claim to be an expert on crystal ponies, but I thought they were just regular ponies (mostly earth ponies) who happened to live in the Crystal Empire, not a different race. They only looked crystal-y and translucent when the Crystal Heart was activated -- and it effected all ponies nearby. (Remember Rarity's reaction when she went all sparkly?) But maybe I missed something there, I dunno?

3896340 They are crystal all the time, they have that "crystal-heart thing" that keeps them crystal, so there really easy to distinguish, even for a changeling.

Three important indicators: Even dull, they have more refined manestyles. Two, even dull the white spots (light reflections) on their eyes are polygon shaped instead of round. Third, if you notice throughout the show (Like with the guard (Not Flash) that shows up with the train in Three's A Crowd), Crystal Ponies that appear outside the empire after the defeat of Sombra are quite sparkly.

3895431 I know right? Slendermane is great and just think that if Honeys dad dies Lady and Slendermane would be the perfect parents just don't write that though.

Oh poor, poor Ladybird. (Because of course she's Buttons in that situation.)

hi hi

I admit I was a little bit skeptical at first, but this was nice. I'm glad I took the time to give it a shot. :)

Whilst I was fine with what had already been done in the first batch of stories, I do enjoy what you're doing with the new ones. This is more fleshed out, and I suppose it's easier to justify writing more for each changeling's circumstances if they're in separate stories.

Plus, y'know, shipping. Shipping is fun. :pinkiesmile:

Best thing ever, you nonsence bucker......
:pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy::pinkiehappy:

With a flick it's tendrils, the horror grabbed a suitcase out of the closet, along with a fedora.

Damn, Slendy's euphoric.

Actually, I was thinking more about how Mindy always calls her mom "Lady".

Certainly, there are also horrors, bu-
(Interactive):rainbowdetermined2:: It needs to be 20% cooler.
Nope.
It doesnt, it already is when I faved it.
But SlanderMane with a fedora and a suitcase?
Sounds...
:pinkiesmile:interesting!

So you like messing with rich brats, eh Slender? Well I know a certain opening for you in Ponyville that's just perfect...

Oh, don't tell Slender I mentioned this, but the best way to get rid of a bogeyman(e) is to throw a blanket over their head. Causes them massive existential uncertainty.

Loving it so far. Got me giggling.
Crazy face of approval. :pinkiecrazy:

This is great! I love how Slendermane is shown so far! :scootangel:

More! And let the romance flourish!

Wow. So much love getting poured into this fic. When I logged on this evening, I saw 144 dings: faves, comments, watches, and more. Not just from this one, but a lot from this one. And more than two hundred total today on this story. Thank you all!

Oh Slendy, take out that arse Diamond Tiara, she's one hell of a brat. :scootangel:

This is perfection! Just the right amount of seriousness, comedy, and adorableness! The insight about changelings is very believable and makes the story all the more familiar. I can see the upcoming relationship between Ladybird and Brass Ring, and I know that it will be very interesting to see it develope! I loved the touch about Slendermane and the fact that he went to torment that :pinkiegasp:, Brass Ring's ex-wife. Ta ta for now, update soon! :pinkiehappy:

Daaaw. This story is so warm and naive. I want more.

3899648
It's like a mug of warm tea on a cold day, amiright :pinkiehappy: ?

Don't worry, there will be more. But there's three other stories that I need to start before I post the next one. Don't worry, though, there will be plenty of D'awwww's in each of them.

I've read this before, in the original "Tales." I'm glad you're expanding it, Lady is my favorite 'Ling :pinkiehappy::raritywink:

Well i'm glad i stumbled on these series.

I'l be hanging around.

I really like this and where it is going, but I feel you ended the Slendermane sub-plot a bit too early. You could have had him making that mare regret her decision of leaving Honey and her father, but leave her open to possible redemption. You really could have done something there.

Slendermane with a heart. Stuff like this is why I love these stories. Goodluck on the the following chapters.

Oh wow... Slendermane! FTW! I hope to see more chapters of this funny and epic tale! :pinkiehappy:

I'm thinking there will be five diffrent tales of five diffrent chantlings by the time this is all done... But I have to admit this first chapter was adorable! :pinkiehappy:

I love this, I should try and find some more of these kind of fics. They always bring happiness and warmth to me.

Deserves a Fav, don't mean to rush, but please can you hurry for the next one? Please? :yay:

wait, do i have to read the other stories to know what's going on?

I really enjoyed this one. Very good, good sir.

Woo another! (Why is it taking so long for my character to come in?) keep up the good work!

(Ling's story. I'll see if I can fit you into the first chapter.)

Just love it when an enemy becomes a friend. Very good, love these kind of f-nf--t--- ---------- *static*
