Hey all I'm Spy AKA SFL AKA whatever you wanna call me, anyway I like to write and draw, and here's where you can find my pony stories! I hope you're entertained and if not oh well I tried!

Comments ( 58 )

-looks at the cover art and sees Sunset Shimmer and Princess Twilight Sparkle as a Couple- YES!!!!! MY OTP SHIPPING!!!!!!!! <3 :heart:

8972628
Yee a lot of the pairings I decided to go with are a bit strange but I just HAD to have Twilight and Sunset, I love them.

8972643
<3

And you know what else is special about those two as my OTP? :3

8972674
They are both back to back in my favorite Characters list from MLP! :D

Here's what I mean:

Sunset Shimmer is, without a doubt, My #1 and My All Time Favorite Character Ever in the Entire Series! <3

Twilight Sparkle is my 2nd Favorite Character for being my Favorite Mane 6 Member :)


See what I mean? :D

8972683
Oh, nice! It's always good when your favorite characters are so shippable. :twilightsmile:

Well I don't think this be a story of my taste.

8973245
That's fair, thanks for stopping by anyway. :)

Nicely done! The writing style is a bit simplistic, but I'd say it's got the building blocks of writing success down pat. I'll give this a watch and see where it goes!

8973563
Thank you! Tbh I usually write better but I wasn't feeling as inspired for this one. But it happens to all of us. But the next, with Rarity and Capper, is much better in my opinion. I should be posting that one later today.

Why does this story have so many dislikes? I mean, it can't be that bad, right? ...Right?

8974422
I was wondering that myself. I'm probably biased but I think I'm doing pretty well writing these pairing one-shots. :V

I'm just gonna assume it's people who see the cover, decide they hate one (or more) of the pairings involved, and drop a dislike and move along. It doesn't really bother me, I'm writing for myself and the people who are interested in these pairings. I'm just gonna keep at it and hope that eventually the likes outnumber the dislikes. :'D

8974492
That basically of it.
But I already said never judge a book by it cover.
So far I haven't rate yet. Not intil it little bit more written out.

I'm not exactly a one shot fan but I guess I have to read it if it has to do with the other story I liked so much.

However I can already say I dislike the Cheese Sandwich and Pinkie Pie clone shipping.
Applejack and Rara or how she was actually named sounds good enough even if it goes into that "you are my first friend" direction again I think.
Is that one shipping Rainbow and one of Starlights old friends?, I found that shipping interessting before so that is good enough.

Capper x Rarity is much better than Spike x Rarity and just works better in my head so good job. I actually believe you will write it good enough.

Tree Hugger was or is one of my favourite characters and it is not the typical Fluttershy x Discord shipping which I got used to, but which is to typical already. I want to say this was a good idea too.

Well I might have to start these here at some point and I fear the next gen will start with the children like you said once.

I really hope Tempest is still going to feel like one of the main chars there.

8998419
Ah don't feel like you have to read it, this is just setting up relationships that'll be mentioned in the future. It's mostly just for anyone that might be curious as to how they get together, but it's not required reading.
I had a few options for Pinkie, I heavily considered Princess Skystar, and I thought about Party Favor, but in the end I decided I liked the idea of her and Cheese having a really goofy but loving relationship and decided to just pair them up. Besides I've already designed their kid and I'm already attached to him.
And yeah, Night Glider is from Starlight's village, she seemed like a good match for Rainbow. I found Rarity/Capper to be adorable so of course I put them together. I was unsure about Applejack for a while but decided Rara would be cute with her, so it stuck. Same for Fluttershy and Tree Hugger, I see a lot of potential there.
I mostly wanted to try out more unusual pairings. Of course Twilight/Sunset is common as is Pinkie/Cheese, but the rest will certainly be interesting to explore. I'm sure I'll write plenty with my universe, I love Tempest but I gotta show some love to some OCs of mine too. I'll try to find a good balance between the two.

I have absolutely no idea why you’re getting so many downvotes on this. These stories are extremely well written and the love and passion depicted are so genuine. Keep doing what you’re doing!

9033502
Idk either but I plan on continuing to write these anyway, at least for each of the pairings on the cover. Thanks so much for the support. :D

I think I'm going to read this too this week, while I was interessted at some point in this, I just hardly enjoy one shots that much, then again they are part of a bigger story more or less. Somehow I have to think again about imaging really bigger reactions from teir friends after Tempest and Discord got together, but I'm not sure what that has to do with my thought on this story right now.

“What? But it’s eight AM! We should be heading to the mountains by now! Ugh, he always forgets our dates!” Rainbow scowled and dumped her stuff on the ground, zipping up to the window of Double Diamond’s house. “Hey Double D! Wake up!”

Honestly thought they meant as friends a moment before.

I'm just starting with this, but the first romance already feels nice somehow, I'm really not sure how you call it if you just feel comfortable with how it's written, but yes I like it.

While I like the idea between Chapper and Rarity, I have the weird feeling that it will hurt a bit more to read that one and the Pinkie x clone character shipping than I image it right now. Maybe you actually make them likeable or you just make Pinkie and Cheesee goof around the whole story which will probably feel slightly weird.

I just don't like Cheese Sandwich that much even if I would probably accept him if we didn't already had Pinkie and if pretty much the same characters where put in t a relationship.

“Wow, you’re on time for once,” Rainbow commented.

I expected him to dissapoint her again.

Sorry if I always start with that, but I'm really slightly dissapointed with the reactions to Discord and Tempest since I kind of hoped to get another kick/laugh out of it and can't image how this will continue. I know you already said some stuff about it, but I hope it's not having a big timeskip.
i really hate those stories in which it suddenly says "overall those years Tempest and "half of the town" got really good friends, they played cards every weekend and whatever", then we just have to deal with her and her new friends trying to find something to like about those characters who where suddenly thrown into the mix.

Diamond frowned. “Oh. Yeah, I… guess I can get pretty talkative. But I can work on it! Please, if you want to talk, go ahead!”

I guess I hoped to get a "bad guy" to blame in this story.

Rainbow’s heart beat faster. “Oh, really? Well, I’m sure you can find a stallion like that.”

Night chuckled. “It doesn’t have to be a stallion.”

Okay I knew that shipping would work for me and it's really nice, but I have something I wanna say since I barely see it anywhere.
I always imaged stories in which someone cofesses their love and the other one isn't suddenly going from 0% in love to 100% in love with that person too.
Long story short, in a moment it looked like Rainbow would ask for a date and Nightglider would be a bit more well just not entertaining the idea yet, being together with Rainbow i mean, till she asks her openly of course.

You could say I image there to be three possibilities
1.Like here, that both of them are interessted in each other
2. One is interessted and the other one get's along with the idea once he/she get's told about it
3. One person is confessing and the other person admits he doesn't like her that way but would be willing to try it out and stuff like that.

Not sure if I managed to make three different possibilities without making them to similar but it's harder in english for me.

In adoptions or romance stories i hardly see option three, where the second person isn't accepting that pony that fast.

“Alright, so we all know he was Starlight’s most loyal lackey, but what you don’t know is just how much he helped her even in private…”

Please don't tell me he was something like her playtoy. For Starlights sake in this story I really hope she was actually trying to date him in her own way. If I understood it right and this is something the next sequel with be based on, then I really hope Starlight was not that kind of person.


Well to make it easy to see, I say it again here.
I liked this shipping.

8998769
Not sure why Fluttershy and Tree Hugger feel different, probably because Rainbow was her first friend and I'm still suprised that it looks like I can entertain the idea of Applejack and whatever Raras real name is, but i think I said already I normally hate those typical shippings normally.

Pinkie X Cheese is something that is still difficult to me, Discord x fluttershy I can manage.

oh thank god, I can endure and potentially like Twilight x Sunset even if that possibily means their universes are officially combined in this story, but for a second I feared it was Flash Sentry, not sure where that thought came from, but that is something that could have been a dealbreaker for me.

Nice, it seems Raritys time of thirty second dresses are over.

He lifted his head a bit, kissing along her cheek. “So how far are we taking this?” he breathed into her ear.

“As far as you want,” she replied, shaking a little with anticipation.

as far as a fanfiction goes, I hardly see anything that feels okay and moves foward that fast. While I noticed again that this is normally not exactly something I prefer in a story, you made me think of possible reasons why Rarity would move it foward so fast.

I would also normally say they could have gotten know each other more, but a big part of me thinks that it worked out, I don't think anyone of them is going to act like a jerk in your story later anyway.

I think I would have liked it to see some letters or meetings between them in your first story, showing that there already is a connection I mean. Maybe you can work in three or more letters?, showing them being pen pals or something?
Now that I said it I can simply concentrate on the nice chapter,

In the movie it looks like Capper made the deeper connection to Rarity because she made him feel something he probably rarely felt up to that day and Rarity seems to have a few experiences here already and she is kind of desperate for romance situations, that and she just loves her romance stories I guess.

I missed the description and didn't expected the sex scene here, but after the suprise it was really nice, it just came somehow a bit out of nowhere. I hope my thoughts on this aren't looking uuhhhmmm mixed up if you know what I mean, i also hope i didn't gave you a wrong idea with my comment. I like to say that much in a story, but I can't exactly tell if I maybe give a wrong impression or something in english.

So now I finished it and it's nice, but even if it's diffuclt to decite I think that I liked the reactions and overall situation more in the first chapter with Rainbow and Night Glider.
Not sure why that one was not mature and this suddenly is, but I liked how Rainbow acted. I wanted to say how she acted for once, but it happened a few times already, i Just keep remembering the times when some authors were telling me she had to keep her bragging personality in every situation, just like how Pinkie could never go away from being funny, goofy and as if she would never feel nervous.

While Rarity here got slightly closer to some cliches I think I remember right now it worked out to, I have "definitly" seen much, much worse.
It wasn't even bad, I just have different tastes in my books, that is how you say it right?, with the pacing and everything.

As long as you’re willing to learn to apple buck, haha.

Here we have the apple family who keep looking for slave and hide it in a joke.
Seriously no matter how good of a trade that may be, you can't live there anymore without being forced to hit a tree one way or another.

good I'm a bit in that chapter already and I'm already glad granny smith didn't just assumed love being in the air between those two out of nowhere.

edit: till tomorrow I'm going to update this comment instead of making several again just because I decited to stop in the middle again.

.-------------------------------------

I guess I'm really bored at the moment, nothing really reals good enough right now.
Not sure if it quite works out with them getting together in only one chapter, some of them like Twilight and Sunset maybe know each other long enough (they have that book right?), but the others are more or less just latching onto each other. Then again, this time it would only be those two that mostly only met as kids and I just remembered Rainbow had a background thing going on with Night Glider.

I think Applejack started out with bein my favourite even if Fluttershy had drawn me to the show first, but I think the show and mostly stories had somehow ruined that for me.

Winter Wrap-Up came and went, and Rara was a huge help in getting crops planted. Though ever since Twilight first started organizing it, the event has gone off without a hitch. With the arrival of spring, Rara began her camp.

aahhh okay you use timeskips for this one, well I hate timeskips, but since I know what you planned for this story or how it is supposed to work out it's fine.

With the arrival of spring, Rara began her camp.

have the cutie mark Crussaiders stopped their own camp?, or sold their camp to Rara?

Hhhmmm instead of watching or something he should have probably spared them the embrassment and trying to wake them by knocking on the barn door or something first.

Well...i think the chapter was alright but I like the one with Rainbow more, of course my mood plays a role to, but I had the thought that this wasn't that interessting to me, not sure if the shipping was to common even if acceptable or if the environment was to common.
It was something more calm/slow and nice I guess, could be because of the timeskips too.

I can't always pinpoint it even if I keep trying to do exactly that.

9103737
I guess I just saw Rarity and Capper having a more spontaneous, passionate relationship than the others, hence it kinda moving fast into the sex scene. But then they realize how much they care for each other romantically and decide to stay together. Idk I guess it just comes from particular headcanons I have for the two of them. :')
But it's perfectly alright for you to have different tastes, I still really appreciate seeing your perspective on my writing. I've definitely gotten into the habit of writing things a certain way and I like seeing how other people feel about it, it gives me a lot to think about when writing newer stories.

9105594

But then they realize how much they care for each other romantically and decide to stay together.

Only after that?, I honestly thought it happened before that and I kind of hoped so. Well i already said I'm not one for one night stands and it sounded as if this started out as one.

I've definitely gotten into the habit of writing things a certain way and I like seeing how other people feel about it, it gives me a lot to think about when writing newer stories.

I also like to talk with you about it. It always sounds as some kind of excuse, but I'm really more picky with my stories than I would be in real life about certain things.
However Rarity and always being close to something that "could" be described as a hhhhmmmm whore isn't the right word but I don't find the right one right now, everything I can think of including that goes a bit to far. Anyway like some other stuff I see this to often happening to her and that's probably part of the reason why it kind of took me of guard.

However you made it at least acceptable to me and at least I thought she wasn't like that. Now I'm just not sure what they were thinking exactly if they didn't started the whole thing with deep interesst for each other that night.

However now that I think about it, the letter idea stuck with me, I think that would actually be a nice idea, either as extra chapters or in the chapters where you see capper actually.

I guess I see where you comind from with Capper however, he would be the first one where I see reasons for him to act that fast one things, you know with how dangerous his previous life probably was.

9105635
I'll admit to headcanoning Rarity as promiscuous. I just don't see that as a bad thing. She's very confident in her sexuality and unafraid to make advances at stallions (or toms) that she's interested in. And if they agree then hell yeah. But that's just how I see it. The idea of her and Capper writing to each other is adorable though and I can imagine that they've done that, I just didn't think about it when writing that particular story. Ah well. Maybe I could do a little something more to build on their relationship.

“And I'm so happy for you two. You're an adorable couple. A little unorthodox I'll admit, but adorable.”

That Fluttershy had the biggest reaction out of all of them to Discord and Tempest being together is unusual.

“Oh yeah, I'm doing well,” Tempest said. “The doctor said I should be able to take these off in a few weeks, and after that I'm going to go to the Royal Guard Academy. Celestia sent me an application packet that has her endorsement and everything, so... yeah.”

What does Tempest want there again? I don't think it can be learning to be as strong as them because in my eyes she is much more capable, but if this was a thing in the original story already, then I said probably "she still has to learn how to protect instead of attack".

Apparently we focus a lot more on leadership and education than true combat training, but we still get pretty brutal physical training because you never know when we might need it. We still need to be in shape. But I'm up for the challenge.”

That's funny, they probalby lost because they tried figthing their enemys with math.

HHHhhhmm not sure what to think of Flutteshy getting convinced to take those drugs, I like it if characters don't do something if they orignally didn't want to do it, but I honestly don't exactly imaged her doing it.

“No, I'll try it,” Fluttershy said. “I wanna know what it's like.”

I understand that, I always tasted some of the more normal stuff but never stayed with it, I was just curious.

uuuiiii I really hope Fluttershy isn't starting to become a real drug adict in the next story, I know they won't get any disease but it's probably nice to see that she doesn't have to indulge in everything Tree Hugger does to get together.

“The Ponyville drugstore should have everything we need, so here's how you'd want to prepare it...”

I imaged a camera tilt to the left, day changing to night in that area only and big letters spelling "The bad side of ponyville, the ponyville drug store.", a ton and three drunken or high ponies lying around.

In an amusing turn of events, Discord actually found them during one such picnic. He usually showed up to Fluttershy's house randomly, and had been expecting her to be inside as usual, but instead found her high out on the lawn, laying against Tree Hugger and giggling about something.

Tree Hugger is or was one of my favourites and if she finally get's more screen time, then I'm glad to make her officially my favourite again, but I don't think I need a regular high Fluttershy or a "group pressure" Fluttershy.

Well okay this was maybe my favorite followed closely by the Rainbow story. I decited to read two since I wanted to keep up with the story but didn't expected another chapter today. However it still feels like a small fight at the moment I noticed that at the moment I'm not always up for reading much or to big stories.

9105651

I just don't see that as a bad thing. She's very confident in her sexuality and unafraid to make advances at stallions (or toms) that she's interested in

Well it's not a bad thing, but I admit that I'm not really looking for that kind of thing personally and as far as it goes for the people I met, it sounds like that rarely worked out for them either.
edit: I think it's a bit more difficult to judge here since you don't see mime and thoughts of a written character. Ahhh now I think I made the sentence making more sense then before.


I guess it's a bit difficult to image that working out with everything you hear in that regard isn't working out and if you personally act differently around it. It's one thing knowing it and the other to believe in it or act like that I guess.

To be honest I fastly get the image in my had of Rarity or other persons I hear about being known for that and that just doesn't seems to be a likeable reputaion.

That's probably why I dislike enough of the heat stories, or like one storie where Fluttershy suddenly lost her brain and the whole thing turned into a f**** for your live situation where everyone takes that piece of flank they like. I always image them working up one morning to notice they slept with their neighbour they hated and what kind of problems that could include if it's one of those darker stories where they can get pretty manipulative.

That maybe doesn't happen often but I also never felt the desire to potentially atract a crazy person that isn't happy with stopping after one night no matter if she agreed to it or not.
Okay I think this comment lands in Fluttershys part with is rated E I believe?, which is why I stop before I say something that I shouldn't according to the rating.

edit: Sometimes I also just want things, even if I use some of my old reasons, they don't exactly always apply that heavy on a story.

edit: at least she has a partner now.

9105696
Tempest is interested in being a royal guard simply because she already has years of experience being a commander and she now wants to put her skills to use to help protect Equestria. Plus she just wants something to do with her time and being a guard seems like a pretty rewarding job.

As for Fluttershy getting high, nah she's not going to be a drug addict, it's just an occasional thing for her. She'll just use it to relax at the end of the day if needed but otherwise she won't touch it. And she's never going to try anything stronger. I can't really see her being into hard drugs. Fluttershy's a Good Girl that needs to take care of her animals. :'D

I think I actually meant if that was really a thing in the story already or just her plan now and why she needed to go to guards school instead of doing some kind of test and a small training to fit in.

I can't really see her being into hard drugs. Fluttershy's a Good Girl that needs to take care of her animals. :'D

I agree with that and well the drug thing at least how it sounds that Fluttershy is doing it, is something i can easier relate to. I'm still curious if they really see all that stuff if they are that high or try to get away from that stuff.

9105835
Ah. She's mostly in the planning stage right now but my next multi-chapter story is actually going to involve her going through the training. And the reason I'm having her go through all of it is because it's kinda a formality. Like, if she just shows up to lead a squadron without having gone through the kind of training they did, there'll probably be all kinds of talk of favoritism and jabs at her not having to "work as hard" and nonsense like that. To avoid the drama, Tempest is just going to do the same training they all do. She won't really have any problems with it I imagine. Plus, from an out of universe perspective, I just really want to write about her going through basic training. :')

9105879
I would lie if I said i didn't had that thought at least once, I mean that this is your reason and that's alright as long as you don't make her look like a beginner in every lession, but that didn't seems to be what you are aiming for. I'm kind of wanting to see Discord being good for one or two embrassing situations there.

I mean I'm not sure if he is never going to do anything funny to or with her just because they are together now, but maybe he is doing some light fun mostly. Why do I image something like Tempest and the guards coming back from training and only her bed being filled with Roses and Discord?

edit: uuuhhhh the last chapter to this story will be the hardest for me I guess Pinkie x Cheese, but I'm curious how you view Cheese and especially if your Pinkie and Cheese will be able to show different emotions during their more intime moments.
Do you know the game happy few?, like i said already and i bet I did somewhere here, some authors seems to think Pinkie acts like one of them during every moment of her live.

“Equestria doesn’t have leather clothes. At least, not like the leather on Earth. Cows are sentient here.”

i fail to see how that works out to no leather at all. to be frank cowhide is only the most common leather material there is alot you can make leather from (snakes, gators, kangaroos, bears, etc) and i have a hard time believe that if someone kills a hydra, they'd rather let it rot then use the hide for something useful.

9106088
That's an excellent point and somehow I found myself completely blanking on the other animals used for leather. I thought about alligators but then Gummy came to mind and I realized someone (cough Pinkie) would probably take offense to alligator leather too. Tbh though I don't see the ponies as using many animal products, like they'll eat eggs and milk, and shave off wool, but actually skinning anything and using its hide isn't something they really do. But that's a good point regarding the hydra, hm. Thanks for pointing that out, I didn't even think about it. :'D

9105901
I'm not familiar with Happy Few. But when it comes to the way I'm gonna write Pinkie and Cheese, hopefully it doesn't disappoint. Honestly I'm not even sure right now how that one's gonna go, I have a vague idea of course how I see them getting together but actually writing it is probably gonna take a while. I might just do that later and instead work on the royal guard story since I'm much more interested in continuing to work with Tempest and Discord. The chronicles just exist to kinda set up my next gen pairings for those who might be curious.

9106148
Since he is speaking about that, not sure how their point of view on using leather at all is in your universe, but i guess they could still use all the leather/hides they get from outside Equestria like from all the meat eaters.

Well I guess they wouldn't use leather for everything like clothes, there I would understand how they could feel guilty or grossed out by it, but not sure if they would not at least accept something like a bag. I never looked at them closely enough to actually figure out what they maybe use for their saddlebags and which materials would be strong enough to carry what Twilight puts into them all the time.

If i would take the time to think longer about it I might get an idea.

edit: i just noticed it, as long as they aren't using any kind of special unicorn magic for that, most of the pairings need to adopt someone right?, that is something I would really like to see, but not sure if I would get from that what I want since I would like to focus on the bonding between them.

Even if I watch the whole thing, I can't always take the friendship school serious or at least when I read about it and why they were fighting here. The best thing about that school was Starlights friendship cocoa face.

Meh Timber spruce, I don't hate him and he is slightly better than Flash Sentry, but I didn't watched that movie completely and what I have seen from him, I guess he is just the next random romance interest.

Did a movie where they see each other already happened? or was it a comic thing? I'm not sure if i want to know about it, because I don't exactly like the movies that much but always watch them for the knowledge.
I'm just always seeing those pictures with Sunset and Twilight in a new episode and when my heartattack :scootangel: about what that could mean is over I always notice it has nothing to do with the episode.
I'm just not sure what that would mean for the show.

I feel like I like getting sarcastic about some stuff lately i think, at least that is what I image is the reason why I have this or that reaction or tear the episodes apart like that at the moment.

He knelt, playfully tapping Sunset’s nose. “And then Tia said no and you got butthurt and ran away to the human world to plot your revenge and years later you stole Twilight’s element and became a raging she-demon and then got wrecked by the very elements of harmony you were trying to control.”

I don't remember enough to say if I was on her side or Celestias side, but I always like a story that focus on what maybe could have happened that Celestia ect. did something wrong and that understand the "villains".

“Really really. Any alicorn can grant the power to another alicorn. Now, they can’t do it often. They gotta save up power for it and then transfer it over to cause the transformation. But it’s certainly possibly for anypony to do. Luna could do it. Or Cadance. Even Twilight. But you know, it’s generally good form to get Celestia’s approval.”

Well if she marries twilight she will probably do it, but I would like it so much if Twilight is transforming her and tellng her they will have so much fun doing princess dutie while Sunset is just telling her no.
Twilight will have the "brain exe. stopped working" thing going on and Sunset defying the forced destiny of becoming another worker in Celestias cozy little princess company.

. But you know, it’s generally good form to get Celestia’s approval.”

I don't know why I like it to question that stuff sometimes, but...."yes go kiss her butt".

Maybe Starswirl would know something…”

:twilightangry2: I want a chrysalis hissing emoticon for Starswirls.

She never attended Canterlot High or Crystal Prep. I’m a few years older than you so I figured maybe she was in college? Looked, but still couldn’t find her.” Sunset shrugged. “Oh well.”

Then they suddenly saw it "THE GLOBE"

Even if it doesn't sounded like it, I think this is my third placed chapter for this collection.
1. Fluttershy x Tree Hugger which I nearly name drugy because I forgot the name for a second.
2. Rainbow X Night Glider
3. Twilight x Sunset.
HHHmmmmm what felt better Applejack or Rarity..... Applejack had those timeskips in it and Rarity the rushed relationship and behavior I don't really like, at least not in a main char.

Well Applejack was once my favourite and I liked Countes Coto..something's song, so...
4. Applejack x Rara (whats her real name?)
5. Capper x Rarity.

I think I slightly liked it that I could get a laugh or funny thought out of this chapter. I just keep remembering some of the talks and point of views i had with others once in a while.

I really liked this chapter, it was very chill and had a nice slow build up to the romance. They're really cute together!

9191637
Thank you, I really liked this one. :D Fluttershy and Tree Hugger have so much potential to be this relaxed but loving sort of couple. Just let them live together in their cottage and raise dozens of animals.

So when is the Pinkie and Cheese chapter coming up?

9230862
That's a good question. :'D I've been more focused on writing other stuff and haven't quite gotten to writing Pinkie and Cheese's chapter. I have an idea of how they get together but I don't want it to be entirely predictable, I want to come up with something sweet and unique for them. Maybe I'll work on that soon, I really do need to get their chapter posted.

So I assume the last chapter of this story and the Next Gen story are dead?

9530613
I wouldn't call them dead, just reaLLLY on hiatus. I haven't been feeling up for writing much lately, personal stuff's got me feeling pretty bleh so I tend to spend my free time just watching YouTube videos and browsing various websites. I'll return to this and Royal Guard Academy eventually, I just don't know when. Sorry.

damn shame this is such shite, considering its predecessor is orders of magnitude better
but to elaborate, the only ship that's any good here is cheesepie
the rest are fucking w r o n g
firstly, why isn't soarindash the dash ship? like, that's the dash otp
secondly, capperity? do you have sandbrain? or do you just hate spike?
third, twishim is so rote. get new material
next, applejack and rara are implied to be cousins(or at least damn good friends), what in the fresh fucklings and their mother fuck are you smoking?
lastly, and this is the big one, huggershy? the worst ship outside of fucking fluttercord? you must have sandbrain if you attempted to make that hunk of driftwood a ship

easy lad, it's just a fanfiction, not a dick, you don't have to take it so hard

I honestly shouldn't even respond to a comment that basically boils down to "YOU LIKE SHIPS I DON'T AND THAT MAKES THIS BAAADDD!!!" but fine let's go through the whiny clusterfuck you've thrown at me.

From the get go I would like to state that my decisions in shipping have ZERO to do with what other people in the fandom like. Absolutely zero. I ship characters that I personally believe could have an interesting chemistry and that I, shocker, feel like writing for. Whether that leads to me coming up with rarepairs like Discord/Tempest, or joining the many people who already like ships like Twishimmer, it doesn't matter. My shipping is mine. No one else's opinions matter to me.

As for the ships. Well let's go through them.

Why not Soarindash? Simple, I have no interest in writing Soarin. He's a fine character, I have nothing against him, and people who wanna ship him with Rainbow are 100% valid. If I see ship art of them I tend to think it's cute. But that doesn't mean I have to ship it. I simply prefer them to be good friends and wingponies. Also I was in the military and the Wonderbolts are technically military and dating people within your unit is generally frowned upon entirely because of how it can be detrimental to good order and discipline. Soarin's been a Wonderbolt far longer than Dash, he likely outranks her. And on top of that, if their relationship starts having problems?? They could bring that into their work environment and negatively impact their team's morale and cohesion. Maybe I'm being unnecessarily realistic but my perspective is as valid as anyone else's. I feel it might be best for Rainbow to keep her work life and her romantic life a lil separated from each other. Also I just thought Rainbow and Night Glider could have a fun dynamic with each other. So I went for it and I liked what I came up with.

I like Capper and Rarity because I liked their lil moments in the movie and thought a smooth-talking, dapper cat like him would be a great partner for Rarity. I saw their relationship beginning as one of passion, just Rarity wanting a hot lay (good for her), but eventually becoming more romantic as Rarity decided he would actually be a nice guy to settle down with. I think Capper's lonely and deserves a generous lady who will treat him right, AND they can go on very fashionable outings to Canterlot together! Accusing me of hating Spike is pretty unnecessary, preferring a different ship doesn't mean I hate one of the characters involved, that's a childish assumption. I just didn't want to do Spikarity. Again, preference. I see him as a bit too young for her anyway and she clearly doesn't return his affections in the show and I want to respect how she seems to only want a friendly relationship. If people wanna explore their future and eventually have them fall in love, that's fine. I didn't. 🤷

For Twishimmer, refer back to my earlier comments about not caring how many other people are into a ship. Tho it's funny that you tell me to "get new material" but then when I do interesting, different ships like Rainbowglider or Capparity you whine that I'm not doing the popular ones with those characters that YOU prefer. Wack

I've never seen any implications that Applejack and Rara are related, what are YOU smoking (and can you mail me some). They ARE good friends, yes, that's why I ship them. People should fall in love with people they're friends with, romantic partners should like each other, I'm. not even sure how the "good friends" thing is supposed to be a negative :ajbemused:

And yes, Huggershy. Because, again, I (gasp) LIKED the dynamic between Fluttershy and Tree Hugger in their episode. I wanted to find a nice Fluttershy ship for my next gen so I thought that could be an interesting one to have, with them having a sort of long distance relationship but still greatly enjoying their time when they do get to see each other, and romantic feelings can bloom from there. The fun thing about being a writer is I can make romance happen however I please. Love can be a crazy, unpredictable thing. And that's what I like to explore.

So, in conclusion...

"Sandbrain" is a hilarious insult and I'm stealing it, thanks!

>he's too young
dragons obviously age differently

each ship is treated as an individual instance in my arguments
t r y a g a i n.

those who mistake for friendship have had neither

i reiterate my above point

This entire response basically boiled down to "nah I don't agree" so there's nothing further to be said here. I have my ships. You have yours. I don't need your permission or your approval to do what I want in my own fics with my own interpretations of the characters. Honestly I didn't owe you any explanation in the first place but did so out of politeness, but I see my time was wasted. So that being said...

10552298
not even an attempt to defend your decisions?
and no, your original reply to me was not an attempt to defend your decisions
it was you getting on your soapbox to proclaim that your taste is better
hence why i did the same in return
now try again, and this time, actually defend your decisions
also, i love how you don't even bother to say that you've had friends and/or lovers
just rolling over on that point

10552317
You mean the same way you rolled over MY point about how the age difference was just one reason I didn't care to ship Sparity and the other is that I respect that Rarity doesn't feel the same way for him so I'm gonna respect her decision as a grown ass mare to not date a little dragon of questionable maturity?? I wanna ship her with the sexy cat man. So I did.

Your other comments were just "no try again" like uh. No. I said my piece. The reasons I ship them are laid out plainly in my comments and in these chapters. I don't need to justify shit. YOU'RE the one who rolled up here into my fic complaining about my ships and basically saying you thought other ones (Soarindash, Sparity) were better. I didn't ask for that opinion. And when I merely explain what about the ships appeal to me, you take that as soapboxing?? when you wanted to know why I did these ships in the first place?? You're really not making any sense here.

"also, i love how you don't even bother to say that you've had friends and/or lovers" that didn't even deserve a response tbh because it's completely stupid and borderline irrelevant. But if you must know, duh, obviously I have friends. Plenty, both from my school years and from my time in the Air Force. And we're not together anymore because he stayed in the military and I separated and moved away, but I had a boyfriend for a number of years. We were friends before we started dating. We remained friends after. We still talk on Discord. Because we're adults. Not petty children.

Whatever. Think what you want. It's 4:30 AM and I'm getting a tattoo at 1 PM so I'm going to bed, this conversation is going nowhere. You enjoy your night, or morning, or whatever time it is when you see this. peace ☮

10552338
so, no defense
cool
didn't even try
saw one dissenter and you folded like a cheap suit
seems i won this, but it wasn't worth it
my parting advice is this: either get better taste in ships or get better at arguing
