Tangent


I became an enthusiastic Brony when I discovered MLP:FiM between seasons 3 & 4 via the review/analysis community. I hope you like my contributions.

E

When Batty, formerly a middle aged brony who found himself inserted into Ponyville as a young Bat pony filly roughly ten years prior to the thousandth Summer Sun Celebration. Thinking that it would be a good idea to introduce Pinkie Pie to Cheese Sandwich when he first comes into town, Batty finds out the next day that she had inadvertently inspired them to become travelling Party Planner Pony Partners.

Batty now finds herself desperately trying to fill the missing role of Laughter before the inevitable return of Nightmare Moon. As the only Bat Pony in Ponyville.

And she is driving herself... Batty...

*O o O o O*

Loosely related to Distorted Resonance, with the SI protagonist appearing in Ponyville as a Bat Pony instead of a Unicorn, and adopted into an OC family instead of becoming the foster sibling of one of the Mane Six.

Batty and Crystal Synergy may or may not eventually meet each other at some point. If they do, it will probably be really awkward. Especially since they both essentially started as the same person...

OH, I love this and I can't wait to see what happens to Batty next, by chance do you think you can do a crossover of this story and the one that you have Crystal in, like having two bronies turned into ponies work together to help the Mane 6. Because that would be cool to see them working together, with Crystal as Rarity's sister and Batty as either the Big Sister to Scootaloo or adopted sister to Rainbow or Fluttershy.

Nice Story!:ajsmug: I'd be totally wiling to keep reading it!:coolphoto: I love the comedy in it.:derpytongue2:

...I admit, I dislike the concept of 'human fan becomes pony and alters canon' as a story driving device.
However, I've enjoyed what I've read of your stories, and the alt-scripts you've written for mine, so I know you can do well with this. So it's firmly in Read Later for now.

Dan

You have my attention. Please continue.

Heh. This has a good sense of humor and Batty seems like an interesting protagonist. Definitely going to watch this to see where it goes.

Tangent No! You have two other stories I follow that need updating. Why you do this to me? (Keep going, its great so far. <3 thestrals)

Dr. Big McLarge Horse

I don't like that doctor, mainly because reading that name over and over again is annoying. :rainbowlaugh:

Nice chapter btw! :pinkiesmile:

7882543
Then it's a good thing that he isn't going to be a major recurring character, isn't it? :twilightsmile:

Again with the transgender...
I would have loved to read this but that transgender...

"Good morning, Batty!" a white pony wearing a nurse's cap called out as she entered the room. "It's time to get you cleaned up and... Oh! You're awake!"

She entered the room screaming and is wondering she is awake? If she does that everytime she enters a room in the hospital she will soon get a pillow in the face. Hard.

"I... suppose it would be," the nurse responded, wondering what got into some parents when it came to naming their foals.

You must be new in Equestria.


Interesting premise.
I'm curious where it goes.
An this Author's Notes...


Found an small error:

bottom pair. the rest of her

Should be uppercase.

Woo-hoo this is great want-no need more please this is a good start.

:derpytongue2:

hmm ok I guess nice update.
Can't wait till next chapter though.

Huh, well the extra scene is interesting, can't wait to see where you go with this.

Really great story I really look forward to seeing where this goes.

Just came across this and I'm interested. Hope to see this updated again :pinkiehappy:

Mmm, I really really should start to write chapter two..

“Oh, Beatrice Abigail Normal, what am I going to do with you?”

You are going to love her, because she is adorable :twilightsmile: :pinkiecrazy:

8725218
Yes.

I've just had other projects that have delayed my writing for a while.

Are you going to import the rest of the stuff from Spacebattles?

It's alive! Woo! Now I just need to read it. :twilightsmile:

"Um... Hi?" She was named Batty? Wasn't that a bit like calling a pegasus 'Birdy'?

Yes, yes it is :moustache:

“Just inspecting the floor,” Batty replied dryly. “It’s very clean.”

Well that's good :trollestia:

I am looking forward to more.

"That was wonderful!" the pegasus mare exclaimed cheerfully. There weren't too many thestrals in the cloud dancing circuit (well, none at all currently as far as she knew), and visions of dance classes and voice lessons for the young filly filled her imagination. She was sure that with a little training and discipline, the young filly before her would have a bright future ahead of her.

"Now come along, Moon Shadow! We need to get moving if we want to get your room set up nicely before your bedtime."

"But I'm only awake right now because the kitchen doesn't serve lunch at mid... wait, Moon Shadow?"

"Um, shouldn't you be introducing yourselves? I mean, before arbitrarily renaming me or whatever?"

...yeah worry that these two are a not good choice for foster parents :unsuresweetie:

Gotta love it when being patient pays off, can't wait for more, keep up the good stuff at whatever pace you like dear author.

Batty: So... I wonder how I got my other names?

Finally! Let's get this show on the road!

*looks at feed, passes over new chapter for driven batty* huh *scrolls back up to do double take before throwing up a cheer to the heavens and clicking the link to read*


More! I love this story and the idea so can't wait for more.

Nice to see this is alive. :twilightsmile:

To be very clear, Sofa isn't being racist towards Moon Shadow for being a thestral. She's just had an unfortunately traumatic close encounter with some random wildlife that had wandered out of the Everfree Forest when she was a filly, and has been terrified of giant bats ever since. To be fair, said giant bats are equally terrified of Sofa, and have yet to make another excursion into Ponyville even now, three generations later.

:rainbowlaugh::trollestia::yay:

Awesome seeing you updating again! I absolutely love your stories! :heart:

Fantastic to see this back!

“Maybe she’s a vampire fruit-pony?”

“And now you’re just making stuff up.”

Somewhere, Fluttershy sneezed. :P

That line when she said she didn’t want to be called Abby Normal really made me laugh because I thought of a line from a movie called Young Frankenstein.

"Sounds like a plan," Raindancer agreed. "What do you think, Moon Shadow?"

"Can I get one of those bunk thingies where the bed is above and there's a desk below?"

Oh hell yeah, the homie knows where it's at

I think I would like to see Batty and Crystal Synergy ending up interacting, with neither realizing the other is also a displaced, and both trying to not fuck up the timeline too much! :ajsmug:

Do you live in a cloud? How does the furniture stay up there? How does the plumbing work? Do cloud homes even have plumbing?

Let's just say there is a reason no one is living directly under Cloudsdale...

"Do you have a typewriter?"
"Do you know how to use one of those monstrosities," Quill asked suspiciously, his tone no longer quite as friendly.
"How hard could it be?" Moon Shadow asked, tilting her head as she wondered about Quill's suddenly cold attitude. "Don't they only have two keys?"

It's true!

Moon Shadow was suddenly introduced to a flying, two-seat sofa before experiencing an involuntary nap.

Heh.
Nothing more to say.


Nice chapter!
I enjoyed reading it.
But I should probably re-read the first one to get back on track.
Had been a while (over four years, see 7942685)...

nice but when will the next chapter come out?
