I am not contained between my hat and my boots.

Prince Flimberlino and Prince Mustachio the Flambulous are here to sell Prince Blueblood some wings, and at a bargain of a price.


A commission for jeray2000, as a prize for winning the contest in The Kingpin.

That was a fun read. I got a few chuckles from it as well. Great job! :twilightsmile:

Ahahahahahahahahah:pinkiecrazy:

I can think of no pony more deserving of such a blessing. I just hope Blueblood has to pay back the state for what his gullibility cost it.

With any luck, Flim and Flam will do something actually constructive with the money. Maybe market automobiles. They probably won't think that practically, but there's always hope.

Thank you for this. :twilightsmile:

5151549 We the "dicks" of the story are happy that some dicks played a good joke on a dick.

We are still dicks for that. I dont understand why we condone illegal retribution to villains and antagonists. Makes us just as bad as them.

5151717
Because it's all fictional, and I wouldn't condone this sort of thing in reality?

MST3K Mantra, my friend. Just relax and repeat to yourself, "It's just a story."

5151783 The cruel reality however proves you wrong as this happens in reality. My problem extends and is beyond the story in itself.

If this was just the story there wouldnt be retribution and vengeance or revenge in the real world. The story and your comment is just an excuse for me to have adressed a real problem.

And now i am done.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

Heh, goodness, guys. Relax.
This story is not an endorsement of vigilante revenge.
It's just a funny thing that happened.

Oh, that was funny!

5151897 The comment suggests the person is in favor. I know the story isnt.

5151900
Glad you liked it! :twilightsmile:

True.

Yes in our world this should not be condoned. However, in Celestias world I must say that it couldn't have happened to a nicer pony.

5152302 Could have happened to anyone. Well almost...

Flim and Flam's voices came through very well here, but I'm not sure if I was sold on the story itself - the bit with Celestia was kind of bland, really.

Congratulations to the great Alicorn Prince Blue Blood... XDDD

Does it still count as Karma when the ones pulling the scam are probably bigger dicks than the dick getting scammed?

5152633
Hm...yeah.
I might have spent so much time and effort perfecting Flim and Flam's voices that I forgot to do much with the rest of it.
(In fairness, those two are hard to write!)

5153767
Is it weird that I have another alicorn Blueblood story on the way?

5154760
Sort of... but then the scammers need some karma, too.

Epilogue: Blueblood's wings melted in the hot sun and he died. The end.

:applejackunsure:
I'm not sure why people hate Blueblood so much.
Sure, he was a dick to Rarity for one night... but of all the MLP antagonists, he's pretty much the most benign.

5155339 I don't hate him, it's just funny to watch him get into trouble caused by his own vanity or stupidity. Celestia did forget to warn him that the wings can spontaneously fizzle out.

5155319 :eeyup: Eenope

I wonder how will be that history, and waiting

You need to write a sequel to this about the alicorn guard going power-crazy for alicornhood/addicted to the spell.

Plus the Flim/Flam song was awesome!

5156819
Or, better yet, have him gay out being a pretty pony princess, and the other guards resent his fabulousness. :derpytongue2:

5155439
In that story, I've found out that Blueblood/Discord interactions are very fun to write. :rainbowkiss:

Oh, the things he could get up to if he had his own private reserve of buff stallions answering to his every—

Oh how glad I am that I am not the only person with that headcanon!

5195391
Of course Blueblood is gay. ^.^

That was hilarious! :rainbowlaugh:

Blueblood, Blueblood, Blueblood....

5327008
No no. That's not it at all.
It's: Flam, Blueblood, Flim :twilightsmile:

5328436 I meant that by Blueblood heading the wrong direction

Once again, you write a hilarious story! Finally Flim and Flam scam somepony who deserves it.

5686892
Heh. That part, at least, was not my idea, actually. This one was a commission. ^.^

I am a complete sucker for well done fics like this. Naturally, this is at the top of those lists. This is hilarious, from Flim and Flam fretting to their complete professionalism to how Blue gets completely suckered into it. Love it from start to finish, ten outta ten, more please? :rainbowkiss:

5769108
Glad I could deliver! ^.^

This isn't my only Blueblood story, at least... so you might get more that way. I don't think I've ever done any other Flim Flam ones though... certainly not this good.

5771462 Hm...clearly this needs to be remedied asap.:raritywink:

I saw this in the Seattle Angels' review, and when I saw who wrote it I just had to look. :)

Glad I did! It was a fun little story. I liked the back-and-forth of Flim and Flam, I think you did a great job capturing their style -- which doesn't seem easy to do in writing!

Blueblood's "distraction" at the idea of having his own buff, private cadre of guards made me chuckle. :derpytongue2: He seemed a bit quiet during the initial scam, though I suppose if anyone could talk over him that much it might be those two.

Nice end scene, Blueblood ain't too bright, is he? :raritywink:

7323075
Glad you liked it! ^.^

Cute. Not spectacular but enjoyable.

Probably the funniest bit was just that I reached the scene with Celestia and thought, oooh, that's why he wasn't really interested in Rarity.

Love how accurate the Flim Flam brothers are! :twilightsheepish:

Getting characters right. ^.^ It's what I'm good at.
