4712273 My reason for going with that is because of the magic that naturally surrounds them. A lot of the creatures are long lived. Dragons are so long lived too because of how magically infused they are
Also, Holy Crap! Can't believe this and Lyra's Dirty Little Secret got top of the popular stories list!
4712533 So there will be FullMetal Alchemist referencing?..... Don't know if "Yay" or "Nay".... Depends how you approache the entirety of the story. I bid you good luck. Just remember to ward of the cougars. Namely Bon Bon, and Harshwhinny.
4712704 Sorry, never seen it but yeah the next few chapters should be really interesting and Jacob's not really that polite. You would be if you were in a new world and were scared of getting in shit because you weren't polite enough. As he gets to know them better he'll show more of who he is.
4712816 Eh, I might. Yeah I wouldn't be an ass-kisser but I'd definitely be wary of what I said, especially if the people that let me go there were strict.
4712533 but why does it need to be a thing? Why do people have to make Ponies so ridiculously long lived? It is neither necessary to the story, and it complicates the relationship. Fun fact, only two species of terrestrial animals have a longer record lifespan than Humans: Tortoises (Duh), and the Tuatara.
4712825 If they were really strict.... I'd be dead after a day, Damn my life, but I'd be worth it, if I was in equestria.... Id even fight Sombra But maybe I'd be an asskisser.... Wouldn't know. Our stupid scientists still haven't developed a theorem for universal travel through a type of portal... That'd make life easy. But no. Make iPods smaller, computers do more, games with better graphics(only complaint is the price tag), and let let the rich continue to be rich. We could be worrying about manners on an equestrian planet, stop this global warming Bs, and boom. Just think with portals.
I thought its going to be an other mindless but it looks like I was wrong. I like where and how it's progressing so far. The competition between Bon and Lyra is fresh and surprising. Bon usually is a passive type when its come to her friend's shenanigans.
4713247 That was the goal lol, I'm definitely going to have a fair share of twists but you'll be able to see how it goes and I won't guarantee either way
Ponies can live to 300 or more? Seriously? I've seen this done in other HiE stories, and all it seems to do is complicate the relationship. There doesn't seem to be any legit reason for it happening either, and even though most authors say "There's a lot of magic in Equestria.", they forget that equines really only live for about 25-30 years on average, and you could have expanded their lived to 90-100 years because of magic.
And why should magic give someone a longer life anyways? If that is your attitude, then presumably, you have an entire system of how you want magic to work in this story's universe.
4714408 4712273 The reason for this is actually based on two episodes. In "Winter Wrap-up" it was stated that Ponyville was founded a few hundred years ago. In "Family Appreciation Day" it was stated that Granny Smith is one of the founders.
Twilight Sparkle: No Spike, Ponyville was started by Earth ponies, so for hundreds of years they've never used magic to clean up winter. It's traditional.
4715518 Ponyville was founded by earth ponies; for hundreds of years Earth Ponies have never used magic; so it's traditional.
You really think they picked that tradition up out of the blue like that? That Ponyville is the only Earth Pony town and so they are the only ones that do it like that?
4715530 I'm not saying that Earth Ponies started doing winter wrap-up because they founded Ponyville. I'm saying that this quote confirms that Ponyville was founded a few hundred years ago. Along with the statement that Granny Smith is one of the founders, the conclusion is that she is a few hundred years old. That's why some fanfic authors say that ponies live quite a long time.
4715577 4715585 That's how long horses live on Earth perhaps but keep in mind how long humans were actually supposed to live. Way back in time if you lived to be 30 you were older than hell. Sentient races would generally live longer, the show has reason to support the theory in a couple cases and magic generally makes them a little more robust and sort of acts as a natural help. Also their doctors would likely be able to do things ours would only dream of (though both would probably be able to do a few things the other couldn't.)
4715662 Yes but it only complicates the relationship. you could've taken the shortcut and made them a similar age unless it's some sort of Chekhov's gun.
Plus, you could compare a Horse's age with modern medicine with a Human's age with modern medicine. The magic would actually even them out.
Way back in time if you lived to be 30 you were older than hell.
No.
The reason forty is written as the average age of death is because of statistical imbalance. The sheer amount of young deaths due to starvation, mortal accident, murder, disease, war, birth defects, etc. caused the stats to plummet. If someone lived to be sixteen, they were most likely going to live to be seventy.
Wow..... that was the twist with the human reveal?
An average, teenage, white, American, male who is probably extremely awkward, I NEEEEEEEEEEEVER read something with that kind of human before!
Next Chapters: Awkward situations, forced sex, misunderstandings about cultural norms, and a cheesy ending I predict will happen!
(Look, I'm sorry I'm being harsh, but the first story should have been left by itself it the sequel was going to be this, I mean the first one made me laugh, this one is making me cringe with the HiE stereotypes and forced sex humor. Still, I will read this and see if I'm proven wrong)
Would you rather live in a world where: The people are at near perfect harmony with a world which is at complete disharmony with itself OR The people at complete disharmony with a world which is at near perfect harmony with itself?
4716955 One, it's not exactly like I know what it's like to be a girl so that cuts out some options and trust me on one thing, it's not gonna be like awkward of forced, it's not going to be full of sterotypes and he'll be interesting in unique. Give it a chance. Also I think everyone will find the ending to be interesting to say the least..
4718699 So your idea of the female gender is to want sex 24/7 from either gender (or any species) with no shame by admitting it in public and talking about it casually?
4719322 No, and relax it has the fuckin comedy tag for a reason. If I meant this to be dead serious it wouldn't be there oh yeah let's base an entire gender off a couple characters right off the beginning of a comedy story
4720924 Couple.... everyone of your female characters are sexually obsessive! Fleetfoot
"Oh we're doing great. Though at one point I asked if he wanted to try a three-way and for a second I thought he stopped breathing!"
Bon-Bon
"Do what my dear Lyra? I'm simply treating our handsome guest how he deserves..." She flashed a wink at me.
Lyra (well, obviously)
A part of me wondered if he was still that big down there...His looks weren't quite as chiseled but he was still handsome and he seemed to have a bit of a tan now.
I'm surprised you did not suggest Pinkie already molested her human, she seems to be the cliche insane rapist, besides the princesses, in every human clop story. Well I guess I'll be looking forward to that next chapter.
I can't wait for the inevitable estrus (in heat) chapter everyone of these stories does too!
4725966 I read your advise and I shall carry on with what I had planned anyway, which for the record isn't what you predicted. I was NOT going for a dead realistic portrayal of females or anything like that in this. It's a comedy. If you want to see some of my original ideas look at Sombra's Redemption. I've done by far the most work on it and put planning into it.
4726643 You should enjoy this one, the ending I have planned is going to be very good. I also have a redemption planned for Chrysalis and Gilda as well.
I'm surprised you did not suggest Pinkie already molested her human, she seems to be the cliche insane rapist, besides the princesses, in every human clop story.
Except for all the second-person "RainBRO Dash" HIE stories that like to make Fluttershy and Applejack the cliche insane rapists.
4733058 Lived in the south for a long time, though you'd never know if you met me. It's annoying when people misspell things that aren't even very complicated. Not a typo, as in they're dead certain but it's wrong. Also when people use you're in place of your.
4714408 you also forget the fact that they AREN'T EARTH(HUMAN WORLD) PONIES! Those motherfuckers are from an alien world that also has magics. So while they may look similar in small ways to the equines of earth, their genetic evolutionary biology is most likely very different. So the Equiis ponies base non magic lifespan could actually be assumed as the same as a human for all you know. Dear God I hate when people try to use facts about creatures of earth on non-earth creatures. Rant finished.
Have Jacob having a secret like (he's also a vampire hunter)
I have read that in several stories and I have never found a legitimate reason for that, nor is it at all relevant.
Spoiler alert, it kinda bugs me.
4712253
No, make him gay just for the hilarity at their reactions. Cuntblock for the win!
4712305 or have it he's really a homunculus /golem with emotions
4712253 That I shall!
4712273 My reason for going with that is because of the magic that naturally surrounds them. A lot of the creatures are long lived. Dragons are so long lived too because of how magically infused they are

4712776
I'd be the same way.... I'd pray they wouldn't overreact and lock me in a dungeon.
And FMA is dark yet fun to watch.... Try it.
4712816 Eh, I might. Yeah I wouldn't be an ass-kisser but I'd definitely be wary of what I said, especially if the people that let me go there were strict.

4715008 No, they never said that. They said that Earth Ponies have wrapped up winter for hundreds of years. It's traditional.
Good chapter
4715362
Sounds like founding to me.
4715518

No, the quote says that because Ponyville was founded by Earth Ponies, they do it in the traditional Earth Pony way. Nothing else.
That slut comment doe

See, the problem here is one of two things:
1) It was an error. (Most likely)
2) It was a retcon.

No.

Because that never gets old! HAHAHAHAHAAHAHAH!
Ok, I'll stop being a jerk and give you my most important advice that all fanfic writers should do:
i2.kym-cdn.com/photos/images/newsfeed/000/642/653/9c8.gif
4725966 I read your advise and I shall carry on with what I had planned anyway, which for the record isn't what you predicted.

I've done by far the most work on it and put planning into it.
4726563 Ok, I'll look into that story, there does seem to be a huge lacking in Sombra stories (understandably), and this one looks interesting.
I do have a soft spot for redemption stories.
4726643 You should enjoy this one, the ending I have planned is going to be very good. I also have a redemption planned for Chrysalis and Gilda as well.
Plot twist! Jacob has an ambiguous genitalia!
4727636 Nope, he's a guy...until... (ah ah ah, spoilers) Or what if he just keeps on being a human guy? Now you'll never be certain, muahahaha
4728702 Then get that chapter up you stinker!
4725966
Except for all the second-person "RainBRO Dash" HIE stories that like to make Fluttershy and Applejack the cliche insane rapists.
4729115 Bingo, you sir are right on the money. Wait and see what I have in store for the stories but you hit the nail right on the head.
FINALLY another author that correctly spells y'all. It annoys me to no end when people spell that word wrong.
4733058 Lived in the south for a long time, though you'd never know if you met me. It's annoying when people misspell things that aren't even very complicated. Not a typo, as in they're dead certain but it's wrong. Also when people use you're in place of your.

Oh man. I love your style of writing. Cant wait to see more.
Well, I've enjoyed this so far. Looking forward to more.
