The one true Scootamom
Also, "Scootums" is far too adorable a diminutive. I bet Scootaloo hates it. (And secretly likes it).
Yet another link in the increasingly complicated heritage of For the Benefit of Yaks
"When I use cruelty and degradation, it's always for a very good reason!"
This sounds like it will end with a catatonic alicorn.
This was a fun read! I'm 99% behind Starlight on this; I don't really tend to appreciate practical jokes (although I can go for very mild pranks, like adding deliberately silly songs to a shared playlist or pretending that something absurd is true). Hazing rituals like telling someone to ask for a "long weight", I don't like at all. I understand that they're a method of judging someone's character by how they respond to the prank, but I find them unfair and mean.
I don't think unicorns in general like cheese ... just my headcanon.

Correct.
Also correct.
I was thinking that as I read it! This does have a very Biscuit flavor to it. :) I liked it!
Dizzy in a tizzy, you say?
I'm not sure where this was going to go, either, but it does feel similar to your other works of the era like LoaD.
I thought this might be a reference to Flash Fog.
And I'd been wondering before I hit the A/N what it would have been like for this Scootaloo to come home to her mom after ascending to alicornhood. I suspect Dizzy would have projected an outward calm, even cracking a few jokes, while inside her mind is whirling.

As with everything else about Yakyakistan's space program, it's wild.

To [mis]quote the flavor text of the Magic card "Boot Nipper":
[Twilight has] a number of highly specific phobias, yet that [image] manages to incorporate all of them.
10276473
I mean, I have nothing against Mane Allgood... Okay, that's not true, but I'm fine with having a canonical, living mother for Scootaloo. But I do still like using Dizzy as a Scootamom who actually cares about her daughter.
I quite like this thus far. The first title that comes to mind is "Slice of Nightlife," but there are probably better options out there. Looking forward to seeing what you do with these characters.
It's a good thing batponies have a high tolerance for sugar, or Harvest Moon's parents would be dead from diabetes right now. She is such a cute filly.
Moonflowers wouldn't be a bad name for a story. It is, after all, a really pretty name.

Well, if ‘Super Trampoline-y’ is a legit way to describe stories on FimFic, I’m proud to join that category.

One question: What in the blue hell is “plot-hamfisting?”
10276517
Why is the quesadilla twilights antithesis? It’s funny, but I still don’t understand where this trope came from.
10277538
It's from Party Pooped:
Rainbow Dash: Pinkie Pie has a secret party-planning cave?! How cool is this?!
Fluttershy: [reading] "Twilight Sparkle likes vanilla ice cream, red balloons, dancing..."
Twilight Sparkle: That's right!
Fluttershy: "But she's afraid of quesadillas."
Twilight Sparkle: No, I'm not! They're just so... [shudders] cheesy.
10277534
Probably not the best way to word it on my part (I've tweaked it now). It's when the plot takes over and the characters start saying and doing things that are more convenient to the plot, even if they aren't properly in-character for them. The quality of the story takes a sharp downturn when that happens, and I didn't get very far into it before giving up altogether on this approach.
When I wrote this, I had effectively ended up attempting to take one idea and doing something completely different with it; on its own, the first idea works, and that's why I trimmed off the other bits. With more time spent setting up the premise for the second idea, I have a much better approach for that one in mind now.
10276474
Correct on all counts.
10277710
You know, I honestly believe this fandom focuses more than even I do on small details, and I have Asperger’s syndrome, so that is practically Impossible!!
10278032
Second question: why not just say that in the first place instead of being obsessive-compulsive levels of esoteric?
10278204
Some bits of my headcanon are built on really small pieces, and in fact one of them is an animation error which I decided to run with.
For some of us, when we’ve sort of built up in our head how things work in Ponyville and Equestria at large, we tend to stay focused on them when they show up in an episode. Long before the quesadilla episode, I had the headcanon that unicorns didn’t like cheese, and so at that moment it was headcanon confirmed. Likewise, I tend to focus on background ponies a lot, so when those ponies show up in an episode and do things, I tend to notice.
A lot of other stuff sort of goes over my head, though.

Oh, I understand that, what I mean is, when you have Asperger’s syndrome, you have a high chance of being born with so many more active brain cells than an allistic that you develop a progressively larger iq as you age, so much so that in my own experience, I was reading on a twelfth grade level by age 8, I never use calculators, take notes, and I have pitch perfect hearing so refined that it’s literally as sensitive as a house cat, specifically a Korat. That doesn’t cover.00000001% of it though! It’s amazing how many things are second nature to me the first time I do them! Truth is, most specialties are something I can just instinctively master the second I try them. However, if it’s something simple, I suck harder than Richard Simmons at a gay Dyson enthusiasts convention. It’s because small details are cogs in the machine of my understanding that I can do this, and yet simple things overload my brain. I’m a savant, and that’s just my experience.
"Curious is the trapmaker's art, [her] efficacy unwitnessed be [her] own eyes."
I'm cheap so this video will have to do for an explanation for now (it's also awesome):
Whether or not it's actually shorter than Biscuit's story is still up in the air.
I fully support this insanity.
I was so sad when this wasn't Romance, but yay! Hardy Vine x Moonflower!
Also, *Har*vest *Moon*~! Noice!
Midnight Oil... :(
Interesting how Moonflower and her mother both have sorta obsessive husbands.
Honeydew-list! Haha!

Talking to flowers... A girl named Moonflower... Hehe.

Gilded Lily! I forgot that was a phrase! Thanks! I look for Lily things, and here one is! Hah!
Silver Tongue. Fitting name, given his talking ability. :(

Typo:

A remarkable exercise in minimalism.
Huh, there are comments I made on this chapter but didn’t relate to it . . . and FimFic says I didn’t read it and don’t remember having read it. . . .
Anyway, super cute, and I’d love to see it continued. I’ll admit I got confused at first by the temporal break, I read “Part 2 - Some Years Later” as “Two Years Later,” and that led to some questions in my mind. Going back that was just stupidity on my part, but maybe just saying “Some Years Later” on the break would avoid any confusion.
Point is, adorable batponies and there aren’t enough adorable batponies on FimFic.
I really want to know more about them.

Fixed; turns out I managed to copy over a suggestion in document alongside the original phrase by missing its existence when I selected all.

Well, then, aren't you lucky that I'm through with my RIL backlog and aiming to write some more (and these ponies are on That List). Honestly that doesn't count for much until it actually happens, and we'll see how much success I'm met with if/when I actually try.
10714045
Ha! I didn't even notice the latest chapter was made yesterday. I just arrived because it was the first story by default sort on your Stories page, which it would've been even if you didn't update, since this is 1yr old compared to Yaks' 2yrs old?
10714055
That's an interesting implication. Turns out I'm an interesting enough author to have people looking through a list that's got only my stories in it.
Shhhh! Don't remind me about how much I haven't written lately!
10714068
Sorry about that! ... In other things about me, I have read enough of your stories that your name feels familiar so I felt like looking around your other stories!
Which is sorta what you're saying, but I'm saying it took more than 1 story.
10714045
I am lucky and I hope you do.
