    My story, and why writing MLP leaves me now.... conflicted

    I think my last post was brief, so I might as well go into some detail here about my story, why I started writing mlp fanfic, and what is happening now.

    G5: OH THE IRONY...

    You know, it's really really funny... G5 has all the three tribes of ponies hating each other, and living in a modern setting centuries after FiM. I wrote about this very ideas years ago, before G5 was ever conceived of, in a story where Celestia and Luna go on a vacation incognito to the earth pony town of Coltonville, and find pony hatred and paranoia, as well as a conspiracy against unicorn

    Returning for real this time

    Okay, everybody, Paradise/Tornado here again! Yes I know it's been a year, but I needed time to recover from a ten-year burnout in writing, and it took awhile to get my creative juices flowing again. I'm putting together plans for a new story or two, though my plans for my 'big finish' story are on hold again. I hope many of you are still here, and look forward to entertaining all of you with my

multiple updates... and a disagreement. · 6:19am Jan 17th, 2013

To all of my readers,

I am now over my cold, and Magnificent Six will be updated frequently. Also, magnificent six is currently undergoing proofreading, and I am now searching for any who could do the same editing/proofreading job for some of my other historical writings, as well. (Let's face it, grammar and spelling are not my best friends) Also, look for the mess that 'My little short stories' has become to be straightened out, as well.

On another note, I do wish to make the point that I am not very happy that my dear Twilight Shine had made a thanksgiving post on my personal journal to my readers. while I have no problem with my wife weighing in her opinion on my work (and believe me, at nine hundred pounds, Twilight can weigh in on pretty much anything she wants to), but I do wish she'd keep her comments out of my notes to you, my dear readers. Again, thanks for all of your patronage, and I hope you continue to enjoy my work!

To all of Tornado's dear readers,

This is to inform all of you, that a certain smart-mouthed stallion will henceforth be cooking his own meals, cleaning up his own messes, and sleeping on the couch until he apologizes for his nasty remarks. I was willing to overlook his cracks about my cooking in his earlier writings, but this latest jab at my weight was the straw that broke the pony's back! Let's see how well can write yourself up something to eat, mister historian!

Dear Readers,

Do any of you know how cook a pizza in the microwave? I keep burning my hooves in the oven! Crud, how does she even work this blasted contraption?

You can never cook pizza in a microwave. I don't really know how to cook myself, but... don't anyone of you keep a cookbook with you? Maybe let somone like Applejack help you cook. Oh and I think it is best to apologise to your wife. If mares are like women, then it's a very bad idea to keep heartbroken.

Psst, I'll tell you what Spike told me about his life with Twilight Sparkle. Apparantly, she was never good at cooking either. He was the cook in the house.

My dearest sir...

If anything my life with Ditzianne has taught me, it's always remember to look up when you enter a tomb or cave. However, that's not relevant here, as the other thing I learned is that you do. not. upset. The Cook!
If I still had fists, I'd be shaking them in terrible upset over your actions! She's your wife, not your verbal punching bag!

Also, there's a reason Oven Hoof-Mitts were invented, and you're supposed to cook them in the actual oven, not the microwave, unless it's a microwave pizza. Then, follow the darned instructions! They're written on the box!

Oh good sir Tornado,

Looks like you'll be eating out of a dog dish now, eh? I really shouldn't be giving this advice, but I'll do it anyway. Tell you this: if your lady is mad at you, best apologize profusely, tell her how much you love her and give specifics, and wear protective headgear. OH and offer to do somehting with her that you hate but she loves. Or even better, just do something you BOTH like. I mean, there's a reason you're together, you've got to have enough in common, RIGHT?

A Completely Unqualified Pony,
Red Eyes

P.S. Best of luck to you...

P.P.S. May I introduce you to ramen?

Thank you, good Red Eyes, I'll try to tell her how much I love her, and I'll wear the protective headgear (She is very good at hurling large, levitated objects)! Maybe I could take us both to that fairytale-themed park in Bright Valley, she always loves taking Ember there. (Though I think she likes it more than Ember does!) Oh, and I've heard about Ramen! Isn't it something like Hoofkaido Lo Mein?

My good Quatnum,

There were instructions on the box?!?

And yes, I should have used the hoof-mitts. Blame stubborn stallion carelessness for that. :applejackconfused:

Yes, I know my comments were unesscesscerialy cruel, and I would take them back if I could. Twilight and I rarely have these kind of problems, so when it does happen it's usually fairly rough for both of us. Hurting her like that has caused a pain in my own heart. :fluttercry:

How would I approach her to apologize?

Can't cook Pizza in a microwave? Huh, that would explain why it came out soggy.

We have few cookbooks, but they are on the shelf of 'Twilight book's nobody touches' . And AJ might be willing to help, she does does owe me for writing that Christmas story for her kids.

And I believe I will go apologize to her, I just need to figure out how I'm going to do it. Have any ideas?

720532 I believe the best way to do it, is to face her and offer a genuine apology. Maybe even offer something special such as an 'Apology Party' (Pinkie Pie would LOVE that if she was still alive:pinkiehappy:). And also no more sexist remarks (I still don't agree with gender dominance. Seems that after the fall of Equestria, gender equality seemed to have ceased to exist and is seen as a taboo). I must give you a warning; Pride and stubbornness break relationships. Act like the 6 Elements of Harmony, and you'll be fine. Have the smiling faces of the most famous Equestrian heroines as good luck.:twilightsmile::rainbowdetermined2::ajsmug::raritywink::yay::pinkiesmile:

Dear Firehooves,
Yes, they're located on the back. Shockingly similar to my homeworldtown. Ignore that typo, if you will, please.
And I'll be honest, I'm stubborn, but I think it's a matter of relative placement of values. I happen to be as careful as I can, and while I can cook for myself, I'm not particularly great. Of course, we've also known each other for around 23 years, and we've gotten very comfortable in each other's minor faults.
As for getting back to her, I'd suggest apologizing first thing, then go out and buy her flowers (red roses are best, don't get her yellow or white unless that's her favorite color/flavor. White symbolizes apathy towards the receiver, and yellow indicates hate, again unless the target actually likes those colors over red.) Offer them, don't simply give them to her. If she's still angry, but accepts, you're on the road to recovery! Just a few more weeks of groveling and you'll be off sleeping on the couch. Remember that the mare is the queen of the house, and that the quickest way to her heart is play with the children (if you have them) and generally show how pathetic and useless you are without her. If you aren't, fake it.
I would love to, at some time, have a chat about local history in this timeline of yours, before returning to my own, but I hope the information helps you.

Sincerely,
Quantum Shift, Master of Trans-Dimensional Summoning and Teleportation.

To all of you who responded; A most heartfelt thanks from both myself and Twilight, I have apologized and we have successfully made amends. It is not often a pony couple fights, but when we do, things can get very... messy :ajbemused:. This was only been our second disagreement over the course of our relationship, and it is my hope it shall be our last! :pinkiehappy: Thank you all again for your help!

Tornado Firehooves

No longer sleeping on the couch.

Very good. I am very happy for you.
