Ponies make mistakes. They make mistakes because they have flaws. They have flaws because they're not perfect, and they're not perfect because they're not Diamond Tiara.
Humans are the same way. None of them are Diamond Tiara either. That's probably why they're all so silly and absurd. Most of them are even silly enough to believe that there's something wrong with Diamond Tiara. How crazy is that?
Of course, crazy is as crazy does. The problem is that reality does too. Every time Diamond Tiara finds some attention, she keeps getting shoved aside so someone else can soak it all up. What sort of reality lets something like that happen? Where's the fairness in a world where Diamond Tiara can be overshadowed by someone who's not Diamond Tiara? Do the forces that be just enjoy messing with her? If that's the case, they're lucky she's nice.
Inspired by the time and effort I've seen put into every story I've read on this site. Thank you to everyone for that inspiration.
Darn auto-ads.
Anyways, interesting start to the story, and I knew Apple Bloom was in trouble the second the ball hit Diamond's tiara.
MagerBlutooth, mind deleting 1273873 ? Thanks.
The pic is interesting, as is the desc. I'll put it on RL.
Is Diamond Tiara gonna have to smack a filly? Again?

HOLY SHIT, CHEAP JEANS. CHRISTMAS IS COMING EARLY.
In all seriousness, this looks interesting. Givin' 'er a read later.

Thanks for the vote of confidence. I look forward to trying to keep your interest.

I'd be more than happy to, but I can't seem to find the comment you're specifying. Let me know if there's something I'm missing here.
1275009
I believe the answer to your question is "most indubitably."
1275287
I look forward to your constructive criticism.
1277667
Looks like it was removed.
No comments makes me a sad Fluttershy
This story is underrated. Eagerly ooking forward to more.
1357461
Well, you have no idea how appreciative I am to see the comment drought finally end.
Thank you for your time and encouragement! I feel I should take a whack at using one of these emoticons to show my appreciation....
That should sum it up quite nicely. The readers are my main purpose for writing, and I'm pleased to see I haven't disappointed all of them yet.
Honestly I can't really get a read on this story, it just seems disjointed. Each chapter can basically be the start of their own story. I guess I'll just have to wait until you start connecting the pieces, as of right now I just don't get it.
I... I have no idea what the hell is going on, and no idea how to rate this story. It's heavily disjointed and there seems to be a lot of build up happening towards... Something.(tm) but I have no way of knowing what it is other than that mister cartoon man will probably end up in Equestria somehow. I'm going to give it a tentative
out of 
and fav it to track it, but I'm withholding my thumb until later.
Oh ho ho, now this is interesting.
At first I was skeptical, but now I am definitely going to have to continue reading.

Well, I certainly appreciate the feedback, and you both seemed to hit the nail on the head about the current state of the story. I like how you both used the same word "disjointed" to describe it. Personally, I was going with "dichotomous", but I suppose that works too. For the type of story I'm writing, this kind of confusion is inevitable, so I can't really say I disagree with your observations.
1371918
It feels good to have an audience small enough to be able to thank everyone for their feedback without having to just say "Thanks Everyone!". Then again, I don't know what it feels like to have an audience that big either. Thanks for giving me a shot! I'll do my best to make it worth your time.
... So much wat. Schizophrenia? Mania? Cartoon physics? I don't know what's going on with this fella, but I like where it's going!
OK Now i am confused
This was pretty awesome...
Seems I've caused a bit of confusion with my last chapter. I'm sure I'll get to explaining everything eventually. Next chapter the fun really starts....
Ah, the falling piano gag. Poor what's his face. He'll be in a body cast for a whole episode!

If this were Facebook, I'd like that comment.
Clearly an underrated story and a complete pleasure to read up to now.
I still can't get over the fact that your main already lives in such an animated, BGM-filled reality. And i almost didn't see that last part coming. I wondering if you'll have him get injured, or maybe come out all flat and 2D, or maybe pop out his head will a mouth full of piano keys for teeth?
1463034
Always a pleasure to entertain. Thanks for the feedback! To me, hearing other people's opinions about the story is even more fun than writing it.
1466559
Allow me this one little spoiler though. Will it be a long or short story?
1466826
I'll be honest with you. I plan to make this story the longest online project I've ever worked on.
Dang, man, this is like, pretty entertaining and super original.
I have all kinds of interest stored up regarding "What the crap is going on?"
Plus, you know, if you replaced "ponies" with "alien civilization" or something,
this idea seems perfect for publication in a sci-fi magazine. You might want to think about the option.
1474003
Wow, thank you! You wouldn't believe how many parts of this story I've completely rewritten because of how critical I am about it. It's nice to know that it was worth it in the end. If I may ask, which side of the story is more entertaining to you so far? Human or pony?
1477056
Whatever method you use, it sure seems to be working.
As far as "which side is more entertaining" - that's not really the right question, I'd say.
The cartooniverse human part offers a well-developed and totally unique concept - definitely something special (and as I mentioned before, I can totally see it being publishable). And the distinct subversion of the standard "college human" trope is totally a bonus.
But the fact that the whole thing is woven into a dual storyline/ dual timeline setup puts it in a whole 'nother category. It keeps me guessing - I have to know what happens next, and how the ponyverse and the cartooniverse will wind up working together - but never in a frustrating way. Kinda like on of those psychological science fiction movies that have been so popular recently.
All in all, it seems like a really good package, and I definitely want to see how it plays out.
1483121
Interesting. That's a fun way of looking at it, and it's probably the best feedback I've received so far, so thank you for that. Although, technically there are three storylines going on right now, but I'm glad to see you caught the whole dual timeline thing. I know if I was reading this, I wouldn't have caught it until someone brought it up.
Anyway, thank you for your encouragement. I really appreciate it.
Dude! Again, i still can't get over the fact your 'human' side of the story is all animated and cartoony, so novel it's awesome. And from reading all the dialogue of the mane six, seems to me you got their personalities down pat, they all seem in character, especially Pinkie Pie. I also liked how you incorporated crazy Twilight from Lesson Zero, just spot on with no flaw in sight.
I either that or the lack of sleep is making me feel over appreciative now, though i honestly doubt the validity of the latter or that there'd be a reversal of opinions after i get some much needed rest.
But seriously man, i really envy your way with words. It would totally make the one i have in progress sound a lot better.
BTW, i was listening to Cinco de Chocobo while reading this which made the chapter feel all the more compelling, like it was a fitting theme music for your yet unnamed main character. Again, sleepy, so i can't remember if you've named him yet. I also think the people who do get confused reading this kinda don't realize that he already lives in a cartoon world.
1485239
Cinco de Chocobo, eh? Sounds like some appropriate BGM for the day. I can see why those flowers were dancing to it.
Anyway, I'm glad to hear you like the direction I'm taking the story. Whenever I'm reading a story, OOC moments are always the most offputting for me, so I'm really working on keeping things in character. Considering the gravity of the situation, I figured Crazy Twilight was the only logical option after everything really registered in her head.
Wow, getting juicy here, can't wait for the next one....... I digress, i'm patient enough i could probably wait for another week till the next update but still eager enough to think about this whole chapter the rest of the night and what it might lead to! Man, you're good. I love how you tied up Diamond Tiara's side of the chapter with the same statement you started it with, real clever.
A stache for your collection.
I just hope it doesn't really take a week to update.
And i hope my compliments don't get into your head. Happy writing

Diamond Tiara said she wanted juicy stories, the juicier the better. No one could possibly take a story about her seriously that doesn't meet her own demands.
Just to clarify, I've been maintaining a weekly update schedule since I've started this "little" project. My first update was Friday, September I like to take some time after I finish to work ahead on the following week's chapter and have some extra time to catch as many mistakes as I can before submission. Believe me, nobody's more critical about my story than I am, which is why I appreciate hearing what other people think about it to give me an idea of what to focus on. Thanks for the continued support. I'll be sure to put that stache to good use.
As a side note, this is the image that basically inspired the Equestrian half of this chapter.

Ah 'Ponyville Confidential', if i'm not mistaken.
You got a fan in me, dude
1516110
It's my favorite episode for a reason.
Now just give her a little white sandwich board that says "I'm a nag" on it and we're all set.
1525838
I think if we did that, the rest of the story would have to be about her hunting down whoever was responsible.
I hope there'll be some development next week, i can't wait to find out whether DT finds her way to his world or he ends up in Equatria.
This dude here is doing too much shrooms. Just sayin.
1553764
Thank you.
1554175
The stage is almost set. The hour is almost nigh. The stories shall become one very soon.
1554562
No arguments here. This story is open for interpretation however the reader sees fit.
1554562
He isn't trippin' on weed or any sort of drug, that world he lives in is already a cartoon so i kind of wonder why people who still follow the story up to this point claim to be confused about it or say that about the main character
I'm so interested in it.
omg... now the story finally crosses over :D
1597818
I'm really pleased to hear that you're interested!
This is the magnum opus of my entire fanfiction career, and interest is what I'm going for above all else. The more feedback I get, the better I can understand how the audience perceives it, so thank you for taking the time to do so.
1598048
I adore crossovers. It's time to have some fun.
44 views? That's what I like to see!
"Local flower to bloom in two days." That has to be the most mundane headline I've ever heard, but considering the circumstances, it made for a really good laugh.
I can't wait for the inevitable meeting. 2 beings following cartoon physics. This is going to be interesting!
