HA i told you your story is popular enough to get featured xDDD now to dive into one of my favorite stories :D
EDIT: alright i enjoyed this chapter immensly craig is too damn hilarious for his own good xD and i like the fact you didnt dodge the fact yes in the cartoon twi IS an alicorn but if etherea was conceaved around the time of the changling invasion then there can be numourous other changes to what "actually" happened both small and great! ^w^
well i loved this chapter and i cant wait when the next chapter starts picking up on the plot :D grats on the feature again! :3
As a Canadian, I feel I must point out that Canada takes up way more space than does the US.
You have two typos in this sentence -- "wondereing" should be "wondering", and "defintely" should be "definitely".
"Crysalis" should be spelled "Chrysalis".
"Appologize" is spelled "apologize".
"Extravigance" is spelled "extravagance".
"Fourty" is spelled "forty".
"Marraige" is spelled "marriage".
"Parents" should be "parents' ".
"Armest" isn't a word. Did you mean "armrest"?
I'm not really a fan of skipping Alicorn Twilight, to be honest. People should just get used to it and accept it, even if they don't like it (and you're free to not like it). Now, we just have another story that pretends it didn't happen, while it did happen, instead of trying to work with it in a way you like. It's just not the best way to deal with it, in my eyes. Oh well... Aside from that, the chapter was good, but I couldn't enjoy it like the ones before, because of the Twilight thingie, sorry.
Don't really agree with the absence of Alicorn Twilight, but the chapter was enjoyable regardless.
Craig is an idiot and a douche... I'd boot the idiot out if I was Alex.
I await the day Alex finds his balls and stops acting like a little bitch for Etherea.
Explode Twice?
2477434 ... No. We shouldn't be forced to accept it.
Or are you in forcing it in for shits and giggles?
I sense some degree of arrogance in that.
Don't rub it in.
That aside, I say 36k is too little.
I breeze through this in little under 40 minutes tops.
I, for one, would be quite disappointed to find it otherwise.
Delaware? I hate it on the eastern shore, just one giant depressing pile of nothing. Sorry really like your story but living on the eastern shore this place is just a shit hole. Oh and to be fair the British also made the distinction between Canadians and Americans in colonial times so we can't really be blamed for sticking with it since we didn't actually start using the term ourselves. Of course back then being an American or being called one in the "civilized" world of England was considered an insult similar to how calling an African American black was an insult in the 50's as oppossed to the politically correct negro but in the 60's they kind of switched and now most refer to themselves as black due to action of the 60's and 70's. Didn't mean to ramble but just saying American was originally an used as insult until after the Revolution and people and Canada during and before that time also didn't want to be called Americans they felt Canadian held a better stance in Britain.
Wow alot of down thumbs. Either people don't know where the Eastern Shore is or what its like (P.S. eastern shore is the not the east coast.) or they don't like me pointing out that people labeled us Americans before we even founded the country and the Canadians made no attempt to call themselves Americans because they were still loyal to Britain.
as a Polish man i salute you for this amazing fanfic (btw Craig is fucking hilarious)
I can't believe he didn't ask whether it was somepony he knew. What a missed opportunity! Of course, considering that our dear princess is in her mid-twenties, it's very likely that he wouldn't. Also: "Stable relationship"? C'mon Craig, you've got to take that shot! It's a gift!
As for Alicorn Twilight and Faust- I don't know. If memory serves, she was supposed to become a princess, but stay a Unicorn. Much like Cadance was supposed to be a Unicorn, too.
Addendum I: I want to know if Blueblood is her uncle. There are some stories that have Cadance be his sister, either by adoption or blood.
Addendum II: Show of hands: Who wants to see Etheria salted out of her mind doing embarrassing and foalish things? You know, like dancing like Twilight and making seemingly innocuous but ultimately self-revealing comments?
2477434>>2477574
Seeing the timeline is off already between the Changeling Invasion and the Royal Wedding, then the reappearance of the Crystal Empire, it'd be sensible to assume that it simply hasn't happened yet.
I can see a real problem if she enters alex's dreams and sees him in a field of lilac with the pony of his dreams.
2477119
Are you sure it wasn't just in the new update box? I don't think I've ever managed to get featured.
2477121
So it does... Oh well, the conversation and Etherea's point about conceit actually works better for it!
2477333
I get the feeling I should just ask you to fill in as an editor. You catch things that I just keep missing no matter how many times I go over my own work. And is it bad that I read your comments in Wallace Shawn's voice?
2477434 2477574 2478072
I hope that my choice for unicorn Twilight isn't truly impacting your enjoyment of the story. While leaving out her alicorn-ification is partially because I simply didn't like it, including it makes her part in this a lot more difficult for me. You'll have to trust me on this, but I have a reason why she's not an alicorn, and without that reason this story simply wouldn't happen. That reason even follows from a canon event if you can believe it.
But that comes later.
2477689 2477833
Craig is boisterous and doesn't stop to think nearly enough. Alex thinks too much.
Even though there have been 5 (6) chapters, only 24 or so hours have passed in the story. That's far too soon to go from where Alex is now to "hey, lemme' get some of that pony 'tang!"
2478125
Thanks to G.I. Joe I learned that nobody dies in wars because they all jump out of the tank before it can get blown up by missiles and lasers.
2478405
What shot? Where?
2478624
If the show is taken as-is with regard to dreams, then ponies apparently have no problem with entering others' minds/messing with their dreams. How bad would it scare every person on Earth to know that someone could be looking in to your head every night?! Even truly innocuous dreams could be horrifyingly embarrassing if someone else knew you were dreaming them. (I have a few that come to mind... *shudder*) But yes, Etherea will pay a visit to Alex at some point...
2479148 I didn't mean finding his balls in terms of having sex with her, I meant in regards to his seemingly overly submissive nature. I know that he's trying to placate her because she's a princess, he wants her on his side if anyone from Equestria comes to get her and because he has feelings for her, but to me it comes across as though he's bending over backwards to please her.
I don't know if anyone else shares my view, but she seems be showing passive arrogance towards him (and humanity in general; Craig isn't helping either!), but I feel that sooner or later this, along with other stressful events (like his job, maybe money might become something of an issue), will have to take a toll on his patience.
I know you've said it's been only a day, but sooner or later his human pride will have to kick in to combat her attitude.
2479148
Naw, your choice about Twilight's ascension does not change my enjoyment of your story a bit.
It really has only been around 24 hours huh. It actually didn't go all that badly between two alien species meeting under strained circumstances.
2479148
Ah, well, if I had any inkling my roomie was interested in the miniature alien horse princess- and said princess told him to go seek a stable relationship- let's just say, I'd be hard-pressed not to try and get at least one or two chuckles out of that.
2479148
It kind of hurts it a bit, partly because, if you didn't make Twilight an alicorn, Etherea can't be one either. Because if alicorns are born, as you said, Cadance wouldn't be an alicorn. She was born as a pegasus, found by earth ponies and adopted by them, then later became an alicorn and Celestia took her in as her niece. If alicorns are born, where does this leave Cadance? Granted, Cadance's backstory was published in a novel (Twilight Sparkle and the Crystal Heart Spell), not in the show, so it is only second canon instead of first canon (which would be the show), but until the show contradicts it, we can count it as canon. So by not making Twilight an alicorn (or, rather, the possibility of ascending to one), you made the entire premise of the story less likely, as it takes away the very possibility of our main character to even exist as she is now.
2478072
Yes you should, because it happened and you just have to deal with it. You don't have to like it, but it happened nevertheless, so there. I didn't like "A Canterlot Wedding", but it happened and I had to deal with it, accept it and move on.
2479148 update box? you mean that column where stories go when being updated? no. I mean in the feature box where it shows hot new stories and popular updated older stories :D
2479854 cadence isnt born an alicorn but a pegasus? now thats just strange
2479854
OK, so now there's a book I'd have to read to know all the canon of the show... That's extremely upsetting. When I started this story I had no idea there might be non-show sources of relevant material.
Now, do I change my story to fit it? Or do I keep writing based on the background worldbuilding I was already using? Which would be the worse choice?
And actually, in my world there is a reason behind alicorns based on a show-canon event, and it specifically allows for Etherea to be an alicorn even if Cadance were a pegasus. It also prevents Twilight from becoming an alicorn after the fact.
2479883
Popular updated story huh?
2479933
I hope I didn't upset you, that wasn't my intention. I don't think you should change it to fit at this point, if you have your plot and your own reasons (based on canon no less!) as to why one can't become an alicorn, please go for it. I owuldn't want to interfere with how you write your story. I only felt that, since I am a fan of this story, I should explain in case I don't like something why I didn't like it. I still think this is a great story and I certainly won't stop reading it just because of the alicorn-thingie.
Personally, as far as Cadance goes, I think you could easily be forgiven for not knowing, since I don't think a lot of people actually know about the book. I myself had heard of it, but I didn't read it. I found out about Cadance's background by reading her page on the MLP wiki, which has a summary of her depiction in the book. I only remember it as well as I do because I like this origin story for Cadance, as it fixes some of the major problems I have with the wedding episodes (like why a princess would be a foalsitter). It does beg the question of how exactly she's related to the Crystal Empire then, however, but given how little we know about the Empire and how it was ruled before King Sombra took over, I suppose we can overlook it.
As for the book itself, well, here's the amazon page.
Again, I hope I didn't upset you, I certainly didn't intend to.
2479148 If she did enter, it would have been rather...
Well, not exactly catastrophic, but still somewhat wounding.
I just cannot help but think this was done as a marketing scheme to make a quick buck.
2479933
You should keep doing what you are doing. You have already established that the source material we have access to is not accurate to the Equestria you have created. Though Twilight being an alicorn really might not matter in this story at all. It is a moot point, this story is about these three characters you got going.
I must say, your fic is on my top five "get a mental orgasm each time i see an update" list, i love it so much!!!!!
2479260 Agree with you 100%
If there is one thing that I have learned from writing stories is that, just because you like something and want it in your story that doesn't mean others will like it and vice versa. I think you should have kept alicorn twilight But at the end of the day, hey! It's your story. Keep up the good work, I am still enjoying this story!
2481834 lol So do I!
Another nice chapter. Big, but it's not a problem ;) Alex have quite many things to worry about for sure. What if ponies looking after princess in his house pop out in some place on earth trying to talk to human rulers? This can't end well.
2480426
I'm not upset with you. I'm kind of frustrated that there's essentially a footnote out there that invalidates much of what my story is based on. I expect the show to do that kind of thing, not a small blurb hidden out in left field. It's a little... grrrrr!
2481706
*Hands over a handful of tissues*
I don't think I've ever had that kind of reaction from anyone before. Glad you like it!
2481949
Too true. There are plenty of things in others' stories that I would have done differently, and some that I really didn't like the author doing. As long as people can still enjoy the story.
2482234 2481834
I know, I know. Alex is too nice for his own good.
2482747 (nods) yup well im enjoying this story so damn much i cant wait for more :D woot
2477121
Only 157,995 more square kilometers. That sounds like a lot but when you are comparing two countries that have over nine million square kilometers each it kind of gets lost in the shuffle.
Have a fave, thumb and a freaking follower, this whole setup is awesome and Craig vs. Pretty Pony Princess had me rolling on my bed laughing. Good stuff.
You say here that Alicorns have a lifespan of up to three centuries.
What about Luna and Celestia? Or was this something that was already covered previously?
2486260
Welcome to... uhhh... here! Craig's inclusion as a character was a pretty easy decision, especially when I figured that he and Etherea would irk each other to no end!
2487447
Good question, but no, it hasn't been answered in the story yet.
Actually, I'm still debating whether to answer it in-story because, realistically, what reason would Celestia/Luna ever have to tell a visiting alien what makes them, them? The United States likes to be hospitable to foreign dignitaries, but that doesn't mean we tell them where our nuclear missile silos are.
This is probably my favorite story I'm following so far, and I'm following A LOT of stories. You're awesome Shachza!
I love this story, but Jesus Christ, the chapters lengths are intimidating as shit.
36K words in one chapter?
iambrony.steeph.tp-radio.de/mlp/gif/RarityFaint2.gif?1311711241
2494259 Long chapters are a good thing!
2494259>>2495932
+1 to JBL
Long chapters are good!
smiles.smile-o-pack.net/1087.gif
2495932>>2495959 Not when you have ADHD.
2496745 Well, I won't pretend to understand how that is...
2496763
In other words, it's incredibly difficult to focus on the task at hand for ppl like me.
17K+ is a little much for me to process all at once.
2496828 Well then, take more breaks in between! (No offense meant)
2496841 I know, I just prefer to get through a chapter in one sitting.
Kinda the reason why I haven't read Background Pony yet.
2496862 Have you read Diaries of a Madman, over 1 Million words and still going strong
2496874
iambrony.jsmart.web.id/mlp/gif/16766__safe_pinkie-pie_rarity_animated_putting-your-hoof-down.gif
2496890 A most appropriate reaction!
Think about it guys Twilight becoming an alicorn was a corporate decision, do you really think if Equestria existed it would be controlled by Hasbro and their money grubbing practices? No, no it would not. We already have confirmation that almost all the events in fim have been altered so why would such a flawed reason for Twilight being a princess be accepted? I see quite a few people in the comments saying that we all just need to accept Alicorn Twilight, but actually right here we don't because it's fan fiction, and whatever the author says goes.
Also are they going to leave the apartment soon? I mean it will be pretty weird if the majority of the story is just Etherea living in a tiny apartment with two guys eating macaroni and cheese and watching tv.
