Thank you for the gift, Otter! I can now add eldritch abomination summoner to my headcanon of obscure hobbies Autumn Blaze likes to enjoy - along with frog kisser, of course. :raritywink:

If you love frogs and are on Facebook I have someone I want to introduce to you who also loves frogs and is on Facebook like her nickname is literally Frog

The ending was hilarious. Implying that Cthulu is more personable than Blueblood XD

“Thank you for releasing me, Kirin.” He gave a confident smirk.

"For the longest glide, press the jump button at the top of your jump, and try pressing the action button to drop down mid flight!"

--:trollestia:--

This was a delightfully silly fic. :twilightsmile:

“Pucker up froggers! I’m here to kiss me up a prince!”

Hahahaha. This line is just pure comedy GOLD.

She took a deep breath to brace herself, then launched herself out of the bushes with her forelegs spread wide.

I didn't know you included a reference to Deep breath. <3

This story was glorious in every way. I know this wasn't for me, but thank you for this.

YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HAPPY AM I FOR SOMEONE TO CATCH THAT REFERENCE.

Just testing to see if the server error blocks me from making comments.

Across the foul smelling, mossy, waterlogged land were a plethora of frogs from all across the amphibian kingdom. There were small ones, big ones, colourful ones, bulbous ones, fat ones, skinny ones, fried ones, eldritch abominations, sparkly ones, lizards trying to pass themselves off as ones, normal frogs, and even the most scandalous red ones.

Or she could summon an Eldritch Abomination that looked like a Kirin that could eat any pony that tried to ask if she was dating her sister.

No suitable eldritch abominations in the first batch?

Regrettably, no. Autumn only takes the highest tier Eldritch Abominations to Galas.

Comments provided because you requested them here.

The playful start is great; though I am a bit concerned about the fried ones... how are they still alive?

She applied it liberally

Good...set up a barrier.

"A few errant amphibians croaked then all leapt away in a panic from the crazed lunatic screaming at them."
A good scene! Minor comment-- comma needed after "croaked".

The first segment ends on a good, strong, comedic line.

And the last segment certainly takes the piece in a wild direction!. It's nice how the ending also provides some justification for Autumn Blaze's insane actions.

Hiya! I usually enjoy twists on classic tales, so I was curious to see how your Frog Prince story turned out. I have to say, it was really enjoyable. I liked Autumn's take on the plus-one "option," and her solution had the perfect amount of insane logic to be fun. Plus, I'm always down for a story that gives Prince Blueblood his just desserts!

I think the biggest thing I would change is your paragraph structure. You favor very short paragraphs in this story. Most of them are only one or two sentences long. Now, there's nothing inherently wrong with short paragraphs, but as with all things in writing, variety is usually best. A short paragraph is punchy, just like a short sentence. It's like a sudden gust of wind that almost knocks you over, great for getting a reader's attention and emphasizing the most important parts. But if all of your paragraphs are short and punchy, you lose the effect, and the story starts to feel disjointed. If the wind gusts never stop, are they really gusts anymore?

I also noticed a minor grammar issue that is very easy to correct. When writing dialogue, your sentence will have two parts: the quotation (what is said), and the attribution (who said it). For example:

“Oh, come on!” She cried out.

The thing to remember is that even if those parts are complete sentences on their own, they work together as a single sentence when put together. That applies even if your quotation ends with a question mark or exclamation point. As such, you don't need to capitalize the word that comes right after the quotation, unless it's a name or something else that would be capitalized for another reason.

Those are really the only two suggestions I have. I'm glad I read this story, and I hope you keep writing more!

normal frogs, and even the most scandalous red ones.

love the whimsy in ending the section with these two

A quick flip through faded pages brought her to an earmarked page upon which was a series of pictures that showed from left to right a frog, a plus sign, a pair of lips, an equal sign, and an alicorn stallion.

hmm, checks out! when have faded paperback books ever lied, after all?

Her dearest friends Fluttershy and Applejack had delivered the invitation to her personally whilst dropping the bombshell information that every creature could “optionally” — Autumn wished she was a minotaur to properly emphasize that — bring a plus one.

doesn't Autumn know that having hooves is no impediment to using air quotes?

She could only handle so many ponies asking which family member she was dating this time because they couldn’t tell Kirins apart.

Dumb ponies.

oof, dumb ponies indeed!

Frog after frog was smooched on the lips and smeared with a trail of red lipstick across their slimy skin. Several had become stuck to Autumn over the course of the assault and were content to stay there.

this is quite the absurd mental image

All that effort and no alicorn prince. She made a note to herself to call out that book seller for misinformation later.

hahaha, love how exacting Autumn's standards are here

Or she could summon an Eldritch Abomination that looked like a Kirin that could eat any pony that tried to ask if she was dating her sister.

With a smile on her lips and the frog sacrifices stuck to her fur, Autumn skipped merrily off to a holy ground to discrete in the name of summoning a horrific monster to take to the gala.

ah, dang! of course you had to end the silly tale of Autumn shenanigans with some high-quality unsettling horror, between Blueblood's fate and Autumn's future plans. fantastic stuff, otter!

To amend the book’s inaccurate details, Autumn Blaze + Frog = Shenanigans.

A quick flip through faded pages brought her to an earmarked page upon which was a series of pictures that showed from left to right a frog, a plus sign, a pair of lips, an equal sign, and an alicorn stallion.

Definitely something you would see in the show. However, I can’t help but wonder:

an equal sign

Starlight? Is that you?

An audible pop sound resounded through the swamp as she puckered her lips and with a wide toothy grin, cried out her intent.

Careful not to get lipstick on your teeth, Autumn.

Autumn wished she was a minotaur to properly emphasize that

Ironwill: “Why apologize when you can criticize!?”

…big apple cakes loving Princess Celestia…

Wow! Applejack really scored!

or even worse going with someone of the same species as her!

At first, I was thinking, ‘Aww, what’s wrong with another Kiri?’ but then:

because they couldn’t tell Kirins apart.

Ohh. And the cherry on top:

Dumb ponies.

:rainbowlaugh:

In addition, all the “hives” as Autumn called them dripped a clear liquid substance onto the ground in ever expanding puddles.

I have a feeling those are Flash Bee nests. However, it’s not confirmed. If it is and I missed something, forgive me.

“I had thought I would never be free when my dear Auntie Celestia cursed me for implying that Twilight Sparkle had a more shapely flanks than her, but here you are! Now as a reward, you may have me.”

Red flag, Autumn.

More frogs emerged and began to drag Blueblood into the deeper parts of the swamp while croaking excitedly.

Or she could summon an Eldritch Abomination that looked like a Kirin that could eat any pony that tried to ask if she was dating her sister.

Bike beat me to the punch on this one. I too like the darker humor touch at the end.

Cthulu can be cuter than your waifu.

With a smile on her lips and the frog sacrifices stuck to her fur, Autumn skipped merrily off to a holy ground to discrete in the name of summoning a horrific monster to take to the gala.

"Discrete", should be "desecrate".

Autumn glanced over the stallion. The horn was there, but no wings.

With a weary sigh, she pushed Blueblood with a sticky hoof leaving several globs of goop on his fur. He cried out flailing his forelegs as he fell backwards into the murky swamp water behind him.

All that effort and no alicorn prince. She made a note to herself to call out that book seller for misinformation later.

Our girl has standards!:rainbowlaugh:
