15. Claim your army is comprised of all women. When pressed, explain they are all in disguise as to not get kicked out of the army.
This is not a joke, it's a serious conundrum! It's an aberration from mundane equine speech, and Twilight is in a quandary over it!
Brand-new idiosyncrasies have been found in Ponyville's speech.
Twilight Sparkle notices and may be a teeny-tiny bit ruffled by the suspicious change.

Good job. Have a like!
Rainbow Dash shrugged. “All I can comprehend is that I was endeavoring to pull an awesome trick when you, with your fantastic acuity, just materialized out of the ether and instigated a collision betwixt us.” She huffed. “I gotta keep practicing, see you in the Cumulus humilis.”
6006202 Excellent repartee, remarkable reader. Really a rather ravishing reply.
Welp, Trollestia strikes again.
I don't know what's funnier, this fanfic, or the fact that it was for an actual assignment. XD
Hope you get/got a good grade! :P
6007169 My fingers are certainly crossed!
I'm glad I succeeded humouring you, and thank you for reading!
6005908 Much appreciated!
Missing space.
This hyphen should be an Em Dash (—). To get an Em Dash, copy and paste the one provided, or hold down Alt and, using the number keypad, type 0151.
The hyphens should be em dashes.
This was pretty funny, I liked it.
~KBO.
hate to be that guy, but I am pretty sure you used both "tacit" and "ambivalent" incorrectly,
I mean If Twilight was " ambivalent" she would not care, instead she freaks out.
maybe you should rewrite the one sentence description to read:
6008215 Fixed and appreciated!
6008243 Fixed up the use of tacit. As for ambivalent, here is what I found on Google:
I will, however, be rewriting it to sound better, I figured there was something off with that sentence.
Thanks for the input!
EDIT: I changed the word to quandary, so yeah.
I like it. It didn't occur to me that such pompous language could be so hilarious.
I enjoyed the story. However, the actual use of the phrase "SAT words" within the narrative was a bit jarring to me. The notion that the SAT exists within Equestria seemed implausible, and from my perspective it damaged the verisimilitude of the work.
6009671 Thank you! I enjoy words and different ways of using them.
6009682 That's all right, I'm glad you enjoyed it even with the surreal term. I kind of think it could be a parallel between Equestria and the human world, even though it is likely not.
Quite entertaining.
And proving once again that it isn't the size of your diction, it's the way that you use it.
6009987 ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)
6009119 Ambivalence is simultaneous repulsion and attraction. Liking and disliking something at the same time.
Celestia may have discounted that it is now within Princess Twilight Sparkle's jurisdiction to actually mandate that a quarantine be established, should she conclude that Celestia is not investigating this catastrophe with due gravity.
Though I admit that the ramifications of a character's conduct is seldom awarded consideration in comedy one-shots, one must nonetheless contemplate what repercussions Celestia's tomfoolery could wreak upon her protégé's convictions regarding Celestia's trustworthiness.
If I must dole out critique, I would lament that they employed synonyms in a manner oft bereft of nuance. Synonyms are not unvarying replicas of a solitary definition, but are rife with subtleties that differentiate them from one another. Then again, they were merely recounting the flyers' content. The majority would not have comprehended such phraseology afore Celestia's shenanigans.
6011210 Yeah, but Twilight tends to not think straight when she panics and likely resorted to her base instinct that she could rely upon for years before (ask Celestia). I also think that this may perhaps make Twilight realise that Celestia is no longer her godly idol and is, in fact, more her equal now.
Also, yes. The townsponies were only recounting the flyers, which explains their not-quite-perfect usage of words. Totally not my ineptitude at writing vocabulary and trying to fit words into my English assignment.
At any rate, thank you for reading and commenting!
6011268 It's more of an issue of Twilight learning that Celestia would do something that she knows might very well get Twilight to declare a national emergency (she can do that now), would use their subjects like toys in a game, and would charge her subjects and Twilight's friends with threats of being charged on crimes of treason (and honestly, it's still a miracle nopony in Ponyville spilled the beans), all for the sake of a joke.
Of course, Celestia wouldn't have actually charged them with treason. Twilight isn't rational when it comes to Celestia and potential maybe punishments that might or might not exist.
I'm overthinking this, obviously. It's something I do a lot when I find one of a prank story (usually about Celestia pranking Twilight, come to think of it). If anyone decided to follow the consequences of one of these in a follow-up story, some of them could get a lot darker than original chapter or story.
6011567 This is very true. Canon Celestia would likely never do anything this severe even for a prank. Obviously, comedy one-shots usually don't do "after the fact" type stories. They are intended to humour and not much else, really.
Also, keep in mind that this is my first fanfiction and I am still learning, so yeah.
However, I admit that I too tend to overthink things that don't really require overthinking, so I understand where you're coming from.
6012633 You did pretty good job, really. I only had the issue with the problems with nuance, but otherwise this is a good comedy.
6013049 Thanks!
I appreciate your input and am glad I managed to make this funny. It seemed like it was too serious at the time of writing, but that's probably because I was thinking more about the homework grade.
I enjoy reading your comments, they are rather intelligent and logically sound and I am glad to have entertained you!
6010652 Indeed. I now see where you are getting at. My bad.
it seems luna still has brain damage
6019657 Yeah, she still has problems adjusting.
It's been what, four to five years? Get with the program, Luna.
6020302 Even though she already knows how to speak normally
6025649 lol i Cant rite lUna

6084617
Yes. Yes she shall.
Loved the story. However...
Was looking forward for royal prank war
6197818
Hmm... Well, maybe if I find the time to write another story or two...
There just may be a royal prank war yet (depending on how well people like this).
However, keep in mind that to me, music creation and animation take precedence over fanfiction, so it would take a while.
