New chapter is out! as per usual:
Thar be spoilers in these waters, so clear out if yah hadn't read it yet, Arrrr!"
So Coach Feather Guide, I hope he goes over well, cause I have 3 more OCs that parade in next chapter. One of them was introduced this chapter but you don't know he was. It's sad that all these OCs came in right now, they'll be in one chapter of the fic and never seen again! However, their role is pretty important and I couldn't skip them.
Contrary to what popular belief might suggest, I'm not trying to make the coach evil. He's just completely devoted to the competitions and training pegasi for them. Do you consider such devotion to the exclusion of other ways of life a bad thing? It is his job to make racers out of these ponies, and he's good at it even if you may disagree with his methods.
He doesn't hate Dash or her fledglings, he's actually doing what he thinks is best for them in the long run. I'm not sure if that came across, I hope it does or else the next chapter's going to make him look bi-polar.
I loved Dash bawling out Diamond Tiara, it felt almost therapeutic. In fact, between the shouting match with her old coach, her barging in on the throne room, and her giving DT a piece of her mind, not to mention setting up the rebellion I think you can finally call this Dash's time in the sun in my story. She was usually the backseat driver, letting the fledglings take the spotlight, and her friends sneaking in sideplots. She hasn't been as big a character since the early chapters, I think you could say Rarity had been written in more. Now she's making it well known just 'why' she's up there as one of my main three, her conflicts are finally coming into play, and I hope they're keeping my readers tense.
Other stuff:
So, Work is going to have me pretty pinned down over the next month, even though I've got over half the next chapter written I think it's still going to take the same amount of time to deliver it to the public.
I need to make shout out to Imaginary Valued for pointing out a blatant plagiarist. Not sure the why, but somebody took my title, my story description and the first chapter of my story and posted it here on fimfiction. Didn't change a word of any of it. Imaginary Valued informed me, and it was taken down in about an hour, but, I don't even get it. As much as I adore my story, I know it isn't exactly popular, why would you copy paste it? Anyway, for those that browse other sites, I have a tiny couple chapters of it on fanfiction.net, but if it's anywhere else, please inform me, cause it's not supposed to be there.
I've commissioned an art piece for my story from an old friend of mine, and It's coming along great if you ask me! He's taking his time and going all out with it, so it should be ready in about a month's time? Maybe? I'm sure people will like it anyway.
In this past week I've reset my PS 10,000 times.
The funny thing is, almost everyone knows what game I'm playing, and why it's necessary, just from me saying that. This is because you did it too, for the same reason I am. Why would they make breeding them work like this? I don't know, but I don't care because that summons is just so good.
In other games,
I didn't climb a monster infested mountain for a broken sword for him. I didn't search all over the place for a bratty kid to get his medal back for him either. I didn't bend time to find the original sword smith for him. I didn't go back 65 million years in the past to fight winged apes and dinosaurs just to get a red stone for him! I didn't reforge the most powerful sword of all time to convince this guy to join my party! I did it all for that theme song.
Indeed, go theme songs!
Coach Feather Guide made sense. His is not of ill intent, but of firm belief of tried methodology that have achieved results and thus believe them to be true, and that belief has now become his blind spot, rendering him unable to find the scenery past the walls he's erected around himself.
Regarding other stuff:
Because some Japanese programmer wanted us to feel the same pain he did when he passed a kidney stone.
Also, contention! There is only one theme song worthy of nerdspazzing over. You've shown your true colors, you unholy neophyte.

That's a nice way of putting it, I think. I kinda like Feather Guide, though it may be due to my bias of being my first OC ever.
If that is the case, I think I'd have programmed it that way too.
R-66Y is the BOT! but there is much contention in our air Sir, because there's few songs in Chrono Trigger that do not make me spazz out like the fan boy for it I am. My two best friends got married to this little number.

It is my humble opinion that the world of game music was better in 8 bit.
