Rust


Out at sea, rockin' steam dreams and pilot valves... Deuces.

Luna decides to stretch her wings for the first time in a thousand years.

A short, simple descriptive piece written with the best of intentions and a nearly lethal blood-alcohol-content.

Because why the hell not.

Luna shenanigans written whilst drunk?

SWEET. :rainbowkiss:

why not indeed>>1144282

:yay:Me gusta
inebriated writing resulting in Luna? :yay::yay:

Dig

Hmm. Maybe If I become intoxicated, I'll start writing amazing stories too! :trollestia:

I came to the same conclusion after reading Cardslafter's stuff heh.

1144282
No wonder you won $50, this is great!

Heh, I do everything drunk.Cherilee's getting pissed about her stash disappearing.

Hmm, I need to figure out a way to get you more booze.

I'm sleepy and just finished writing a chapter of my own. I'll read this first thing in the morning, and maybe this weekend I'll try to get a few bourbons and scotches in me and write a short, too. Gotta think up a subject, first. :derpyderp2:

A beautiful one-shot... perhaps I should start drinking more :rainbowkiss:

Ho shoots brah:unsuresweetie: da buggah wen brok da mouf
Gud that is going to be my new "sup" face

I think that someone needs a hobby before she accidentally sets of a starburst or something. :raritywink:

I hate to point this out, but there's no such thing as a second sonic boom. It's the transition from below the sound barrier to above. The only reason we sometimes HEAR two of them from a very fast aircraft is because the bow and stern sonic booms arrive separately due to the speed of travel and the height of the aircraft. (The space shuttle, for example, does this).

Glorious. Absolutely glorious, and this is you when you're drunk. Now the question remains: Does that mean you'll write an even more glorious one-shot when you're absolutely sober and thinking clearly, or when you're wasted beyond belief? Or perhaps both.

Magnificent... Always love reading your stories Rust,...uhmm you did miss one thing though: That silver crescent, peeing over the - peeking

That is, unless the neighbor you mentioned happens to be a pervert :rainbowlaugh:

The poor cabbage guy just can't catch a break no matter which universe he's in.

Nice Avatar the Last Airbender referance there, yes I caught it.

If drinking makes you write that good, I may have to go and figure out a way to buy booze....

Fantastic story for such a simple little concept, not that simple is bad.

Its magic he don't have to explain shit

1148452
I know it's magic, but I KEEP seeing this and it's a common error. People assume that a Hypersonic boom happens, and they throw it in to add a bit of verisimilitude - but it backfires, for me.
There is a definite implication that she breaks a second sound barrier - "a second mach cone". This is as wrong as, I don't know, some book confidently asserting that giraffes have no vocal chords or something.
It's a nice image, but it could just be an explosion of magic and it'd look about the same.

1148277
RIght. That was embarrassing. Fixed.
1148495
Didn't know about that, to be honest. Went back and took out "mach" so the pulse can be interpreted as another kind of explosion.

1148657 Thank you, no problem.
I've noticed it so much (usually multiple rainbooms, which is as silly as saying something froze multiple times - an analogy I think I'll try to remember...) that I've decided to start pointing it out.
That said, there ARE ways to have many sonic booms in a single flight - either the wings are what breaks the barrier when they flap, or the object goes above-below-above the speed of sound, which produces a series of booms that might well not overlap fully at the ground.
As it happens, the scene in my avatar (fanart for a fic of mine) would have multiple overlapping sonic booms - because there are three fighters going overhead! Each one produces its' own boom.

People should drink and write more often.

Rust, that was beautiful. Just beautiful. Excellently written! :twilightsmile:

But one thing:

Luna, for her part, simple sits by her telescope and smiles softly to herself.

"simple" should be "simply".
(Can't help but switch to editor mode, sorry :twilightblush:)

One of my favorite songs from, oh, fifty years ago contains this line: "At night the stars put on a show for free."

Thanks be to Luna for understanding the magic of that moment.

Absolutely gorgeous.

Okay what the hell? You get drunk and write a good story, but when I end up kinda loopy thanks to some pain killers it results in a vampire pony named Count Fang. (Yeah I'm not kidding.) Yet, you're a better writer than me anyways.

"...My cabbages,"
Cabbage Guy? What are you doing in Equestria?

1148799
D'oh! Fixed. Thanks, Flame.

I'd been watching Avatar reruns a few hours beforehand. Thought it would be funny if he had something nice happen to him, for once.

I thought of this when you put that cabbage part in.

...this is honestly one of th' best oneshots i've ever read.

This is... AWESOME!

For drunk writing, you should have made it $100.

1148183 da buggah wen brok da mouf. das da mok way of saying something stay delecious. Duh:rainbowlaugh: this in not trolling check the pidgin english dictonary:rainbowlaugh:

I believe you won.

You know the first thing I did with my $50? I went out and bought a giant foam hand, put a sticker of Princess Luna on it, and promptly used it to pimp-slap the guy who made the bet.

Considering you were inebriated on something, this was AMAZINGLY well done. A few minor grammar errors smattered throughout (taut vs. taunt, it's and its), but...:yay:

You should do this again, but for more drinks, and double the money XD i think it would be great :pinkiecrazy:

Amazing! Stories done in the first tense are always harder to write, but this time it was definitely worth it.

1152358
...I LIKE YOUR NAME.

Awesome story and really well done.

1152383

Thank you! Yours is cool too! :twilightsheepish:

1148096 In the Chessverse, howeve,r there are SEVEN speed barriers.

The first creates the Sonic Rainboom

The second creates The Wonderbolt.

Luna, however, says 'fuck that, I'm making STARS with the second speed barrier!" And Lo, 'twas most EPIC!:yay:

...Not to be awkward or anything by saying that. I mean it because Luna is best pony, and I created an OC named Ginger in another story of mine. She has been described as "grumpadorable," or whatever that means.
Look here, I'm not kidding you on this.
She's the one on the far left. Ironically, similar to your own avatar.

A figure leans back on a chair in the middle of a plain. He grins slightly as he watches the night sky explode in all its colors. He snaps a picture with his camera, and silently takes his leave, spinning a over sized revolver on one finger. The chair dissolves into smoke behind him.
