    My birthday, plus a small update

    So I'm gonna turn 23 tomorrow, so that's a thing. I had wanted to get a new chapter up by then, but I'm not gonna have the time to finish it. I think it's gonna be good though, as well as something totally unexpected. So keep an eye out for that.

    A small hiatus

    I'm gonna take a small break from pony writing, mostly because I'm getting a little burned out on that and because I want to get some chapters for another story of mine done. If your into this kind of thing, check it out . /self promotion.

    Killer is Dead

    Only the mind of Suda 51 could come up with a game where the main character has a robot arm because he helped kill Osama Bin Laden, who turned out to be so evil it infected his team and his arm, and then he goes on to fight demons and robots. All of that while finding the time to be a total lady killer.

    Yeah, I love this game. If you're into that kind of thing, you should totally check it out.

    Startling insights

    I've made a startling insight into how our fandom works. Especially on one key point. Now, this is probably going to shock most of you so you might want to sit down for this.

    People... don't like Prince Blueblood.

    Shocking, isn't it?!

    New episode

    Eh, it was alright. Nice songs, decent enough plot, and I can tolerate the thing at the end.
    Why was I supposed to be upset about this again?

Screwball and Screwloose · 4:05pm Apr 14th, 2012

People ship these two together right? Well, I want to make a chapter about them, the former being genderswapped.
Should I come up with normal names for them?

Those are their normal names.

I'll probably skip this story. I keep thinking of those two as related. Also? Servants or children (literally or figuratively) of Discord. :pinkiecrazy:

Nope, stick with their regular names.

Male Screwball you say?

You see, the reason I ask about names is because of how I want to write the chapter. Hopefully it will make sense when I post it.

Ah, now you've piqued my interest. Looking forward to it.

70516
alright, then.

Screwball - male-erized - Lampshay Ded

Screwloose - Loosy (like Lucy, but not a human name)

No, sorry, I'm pretty sure screwloose is retarded, and that wont work, because anything involving her and another pony is rape, because she is mentally unstable, and therefore unable to concede to any form of relationship
Screwballs gs name is screwloose.
But I'd go with Screw up
Heres his pic

also, If you need a backstory for screwloose, heres mine
Screwloose was a filly born in canterlot to two famous architects, her mother died when she was young. Growing up, she was often teased for her name, and eventually she became bitter enough to attack the only pony lower than her in her chain of life, a studious young filly named twilight sparkle.
She tormented her as a release of her anger at her neglectful father, as he had all but abandoned life since his wife died. Twilight grew to fear screwloose. When twilight was accepted into magic school, she was happy that her accomplishments had payed off, but also that she would be free of the torment screwloose wrought.
When the sonic rainboom triggered twilights magic, it affected much more than that single tower in canterlot. Twilights magic affected all of canterlot, and caused many minor disasters in the city.
You see, magic is heavily intertwined with intent, the will is what fuels the spell, what guides its power. In the huge surge of power, the magic began to alter the world due to her subconscious.
This is where screwloose comes in. The magic felt the subconscious malice towards her, and acted upon it. It demonized her, turning her into the fearful caricature twilight feared, an animal, wanting only to torment her.
Celestia, after calming twilight, had to survey the damage. The convulsing mad mess of a filly was brought immediately to canterlots hospital, where they tried anything and everything to cease twilight's magics hold on her brain, but nothing worked. Twilights subconscious had latched into her brain, and the princess had even used her magic, it was deemed hopeless, that the best they could do was to tame the animalistic caricature that was screwloose, so she could at least be happy.
Brought into ponyvilles hospital, she began a long and arduous process, attempting in some way bond with the pony, who refused any attempt at kkindness or affection, but was wore down over time to furious acceptance. Screwloose was treated over and over, but it seemed a lost cause, until fluttershy was asked to step in, as a last ditch effort. The results were miraculous, as screwloose came out of her shell, they began to train her as if she were a true dog. Eventually, as the only pony that she ever reacted kindly to, fluttershy is now in custody of her patient, and is going to live the rest of her days in her care.


Twilight is not aware of the damage she has caused to this day, and no one is in a rush to inform her

I don't exactly see how 'Barking like a mad dog' = 'retarded'. That's kind of a large leap, no offense.
And your backstory for her is pretty good, but I'm always more keen to find a 'happy tragic backstory' if that makes any sense.
Anyway, any opinions on a normal name for M! Screwball? You know, if he wasn't totally insane and floating like a cloud.

71111
Well, it does make sense. She was clearly in the hospital, and was barking, which is generally not a thing sane people do, and was wearing a hospital gown. It just doesn't make sense if a perfectly right minded pony was in the hospital barking like a mad dog with unkempt features and dilated eyes.

71114
Which is why I'm going for the 'insane' theory. She's clearly not in her right mind. Maybe it's some kind of mental disconnect, where her mind thinks something and her body reacts differently. The barking could be her mind trying to talk to the outside world. I love that kind of tragic interpretation.

71117
Well, for a normal name, most people see her as diamond tiaras poison joke addicted sister, Diadem Tiara, so how about Silver Scepter.

71507
Yeah that'll work, if I even mention their real names at all. We'll see how it plays out.
Thanks. :pinkiehappy:

I just wanted to suggest this as an idea for screwloose, because I think it sounds interesting. But what if she's not really insane, it's just that her talent is bringing herself down to the level of patients to better understand them, the whole dog thing being a part of this.

Just a suggestion.
