After deeming him a danger to the royal treasury, Princess Celestia sends Prince Blueblood to Ponyville for a crash course in humility and fiscal responsibility.

Quite unfortunately, I find myself having to cancel this fic. If I ever try to write a long fic again I'll have to plan much, much better. Many apologies.

Liking it so far. looking forward to the next morning when AJ asks P.BlBd to get sweaty with exertion. T'ain't hard work, if'n you don't get sweaty. Gotta earn your feed, ya overgrown colt!

" The suicide rate among Blueblood’s staff was abnormally high, and after a traumatic event like the departure of their beloved master, she must have known they would need something to keep their spirits up."

That's dark!

Still, this is entertaining!

Very well done! The one complaint I have is that you had Blueblood refer to five ponies, when there were actually six.

the five/six thing is explained if you're real careful to watch the explanations. Rarity isn't even at the welcoming committee. Thus, 5 ponies left, only one of whom was a unicorn.

1767they were fucking tears of joy

This is awesome!! I don't usually get into fanfic's, but yours is certainly unique :D :yay:

I desire more of this. Starting out rather nice though.

Keep this up and you may actually have me liking that asshat... :applejackconfused:

Blueblood being punished? Yep, I'm on board.
Rooming him with Pinkie Pie? I'm getting a timeshare to watch this.

(also, anyone else read suicide rate as "faking death to get out of working for that d*****"? or maybe that's just what they told him when somebody quit)

Damn, I'm fairly determined to maintain my dislike of this guy... Ditzy goes a ways against that, but then again, he did threaten Fluttershy... well, that fixed that dilemma, now didn't it? (also, insane Lyra cracked me up)

BluebloodxDitzy?

I'm not too fond of shipping, but I'd read that as long as it was firmly tongue-in-cheek and not sappy. Anyways, I know how much writers block sucks, but you're doing well. Keep up the good work.

What would the ship name of Prince Blueblood and Ditzy Doo be? Ditzy Blue?:rainbowhuh:

3809

Heh, I was halfway through writing it before I realized I was basically unintentionally writing a shipfic. I intend for their friendship to be purely platonic, but, as I learned, in writing the line between friends and lovers can be pretty thin.

3837

Ditzy Dooblood?

3868 We're not rolling with Prince-y Doo? (although I read that relationship as pretty platonic to be honest)

Pinkie... don't you ever freakin' change...

Blueblood is just too fun when he's getting his (and perhaps a few others worth of) comeuppance. Am curious as to what you'll do for the character twist.

Oh boy, Blueblood making friends with diamond tiara and silver spoon. That's a recipe for disaster.

I love how you made Blueblood just 'pony from different culture'. He is not bad nor good, he just Hight Society Pony.

"“No, no, this will be fine,” he said, indicating the bucket of apples. “I’m certain the Element of Honesty has given me what she believes to be a fair wage for a full day’s work. Playing a prank on a pony for a cheap laugh at his expense - why, she’d never do such a thing.” He noted a growing redness in the mare’s cheeks with satisfaction. “I don’t need your wretched charity.” Mustering all the dignity he could manage, Blueblood picked up the apples and strode off back to town with his head held high."

^ that's just perfect. They act as bad to him as he acted to Rarity, or even worse. I totally feel to Blueblood, thrown out of home, to different, harsh culture, laughting stock to nearly everypony... I hope Applejack will apologize. She was wrong here.

And just look, with other high-society pony like Tiara or Silverspoon, he acts gentlemanly.

That's actually something I found rather surprising: I have yet to find a single story (other than this) that doesn't adopt Applejacks viewpoint of "High Society" as anything but gospel. She calls them hoity-toity and frou-frou and stuck up and arrogant and what not- and never even ONCE does anyone remind her that she's being awfully close minded, because she doesn't KNOW any of them.

Same with the Gala. Celestia finds it boring- well yeah, she's been to them for centuries- so trashing the party and scaring the bejeezus out of the guests
(who probably PAID for their tickets, unlike some OTHER ponies) must be perfectly fine. Doesn't anyone else find that unfair?

I :rainbowlaugh:'d
I :fluttercry:'d
I :flutterrage:'d at Applejack. Applejack!
:eeyup:, I like this story. It isn't Blueblood's fault that he grew up accustomed to being waited on.
All in all, I'd say this is a :yay::yay::yay: 3/4 out of 4; certainly one of my favorite stories. My favorite, I was recommended by ask-blueblood.tumblr, but that's also complete. In a chapter or two, this one looks like it could kick that one off the top spot, so I, at least, definitely want it kept up. :fluttershyouch: If it's not too much trouble, that is.

I would like to see how this story progresses.

New chapter? Nice Christmas present for me! Good to see you made Blueblood honest, complicated and really high-society pony, with different mindset, virtues and goals. Not simply "bad guy/jerk" routine many authors love to take.

Rarity-gold digger explanation is perfect. Paying 18 bits to waiter scene simply genius. His cold, critic demeanour and calmness very nice to read.

Keep up the good work! And please write scene with Applejack apologizing for her ' joke'

I'm with gapaot on this one: this chapter really adds some depth to Blueblood. He's an honest yet uptight stallion who has had to put up with ponies who only see him as a means of getting close to his aunt for so long that he has trouble believing that anypony would do anything nice to him or love him without having an ulterior motive. & of course that bit at the beginning with Reader Projection & Unrealistic Fantasy was golden! I realize that it probably won't be for a while, but I look forward to seeing more chapters in the future.

This story is just hilarious. Poor Blueblood . . . you can't help but feel bad for him, yet at the same time laugh and laugh at every horror he faces! :rainbowwild:

I know Skyrim references are 'in' these days, but The Lusty Argonian Mare doesn't really work. Argonians aren't ponies!

Interesting. Keep up the good work.

And it only took a week for the show to make the newest chapter go against canon :facehoof:

No pinkie alchohol! Ya know, its possible to be crazy without the help of alchol:rainbowhuh: but enjoyable fanfic!:ajsmug:

SPONGEBOB REFERENCE.........................was I the only one who noticed this? "Double take three times, one, two, three." um you were refering to spongebob in that, right? um, er, i mean..............*squee*:fluttershyouch:

Blueblood's on thin ice tomorrow. NOPONY messes with Fluttershy.

I didn't realize when I started writing how polarizing alcohol was in pony fics. Some people think it's hilarious; some don't like it at all. Glad you're enjoying the fic anyway. And yeah, that was definitely a Spongebob reference

Yeah I'm 12 so, yeah, I just don't like alcohol references in general.

"the institution of friendship ", Blueblood

I'd say this nicely sums up one of the main reasons why Celestia sent Blueblood to Ponyville. He needs some real friends, not this
twisted idea of it being some sort of formal affair he seems to harbor.

I'm really liking this story. Please update soon.:pinkiehappy:

Ah, Prince Blueblood. He makes Mr. Burns, Frasier Crane, and the Monopoly Man seem like all-around normal guys who you could kick back and have a beer with.

@Aquabolt - I really like this so far. I would very much like to see you continue. I don't know where you got the notion that this story is bad. I quite enjoy seeing Blueblood being put in his place. :yay:

“…And that’s how Equestria was made!”

You know, someone really should listen to that part of the conversation. I'm sure it would clear up a lot of things.

I'm hoping that at some point you come back and continue this story.
