Progress Report Week 38
Another breakthrough! Twilight and Sunset both joined Sigil for my studies today; apparently Sunset had been pondering our discussions, and wanted to hear more about my vision. We spent half the day discussing my recent studies, when I had another epiphany. I think it came about the time we started investigating the magic basis of the Elements of Harmony, the way they work independently of pony magic, and the theory behind their functions. It wasn't a lightning bolt this time, but a growing realization that finally culminated in a clear vision. It's all linked, it HAS to be. And I can almost see how. I managed to convince the others, and we put together a preliminary study outline to develop the theory. I can hardly contain myself, this could really be something HUGE!
—————
Twilight, Sunset, and I assembled and drafted a preliminary proposal for my Unified Theory of Magic. They're overwhelmingly enthusiastic about it, almost as much as I am. We spent the better part of two days reviewing and revising the basic structure and hypotheses, and should have a solid foundation for further development.
In unrelated news, when Sunset went back to her adopted world, the exchange between her and Twilight was so... obvious... that I just couldn't keep my speculations to myself anymore. Twilight tried to deny it, but she's a terrible liar. It's clear she has feelings for Sunset, which from my admittedly limited observations are fully reciprocated. I hope they take time to pursue their mutual affections, it'd be a shame if they missed out on that companionship. And Sunset is a stunning beauty as well, that blazing red and yellow mane and tail, those intense eyes; and so smart! Almost makes me wish I had a libido myself, ha ha ha. She'd definitely be my type. Hey Twilight, if you're just now reading this and neither of you has made a move yet, stop weaseling around and GO FOR IT! You both deserve each other; and she totally has the hots for you! (A-a-and, there's that Rainbow Dash influence creeping in again. Eesh.)
Ok, just to say one thing...
I'm just not a fan of the gay shippings. I can overlook it in a story, but it just bothers me when writers make non-confirmed gay pairings. I can tolerate them in a story, but it just annoys me. Not that I have anything against gays, but I think that the reason it annoys me is that its just so easy. 98% of the characters in MLP are female, and therefore its super easy to make two established characters like each other. But its just not creative. I would much rather someone go through the effort of creating a original character to pair with one of the M6 (or whoever the story is about) then forcing two of them together. Not even sure you plan on doing that, or its derpy being derpy.
This has been ST4RSK1MM3R's rant on gay pairings.

7914722 No of course it wasn't, but it was something I felt I needed to say, mostly just for me, and it doesn't really have anything to do with the story. You can happily ignore my comment.
Toodles!
I must admit I did not like the first half of these little vignettes of this story mainly due to them being written in broken English. However, once that passed and they started being written in proper English the story became much more enjoyable to me.
