In Which I Ask a Very Important Question... · 4:27am Nov 24th, 2015
If you saw these two thrashing through the water trying not to drown, which one would you save?
a.) Hold a spa day with Rara and Coco and completely avoid both of them.
b.) Give Rara and Coco all the hugs and completely avoid both of them.
c.) Save Svengallop, take his designer glasses off to sell, then throw him back in the water.
d.) Trick question, there were never two of them after all. Mosely is Svengallop, and Svengallop is Mosely.
From what you can see from here, I caught a few similarities between last ep and my story. Seeing how much Applejack gets mad over Svengallop is a good reference point for the way she'll react when she finds out about Mosely soon.
Also, new part will be out some time this week. I'm thinking of releasing it either tomorrow afternoon or some time Wednesday, though I get the feeling more of you will be free tomorrow. Happy Thanksgiving!
To be honest, Svengallop reminded me way too much of Donald Trump, just of show business. That mane though...

Yeah, I can see where you'd make that comparison. Of course, I draw comparison with my stories any chance I get, because part of my job requires me to be really obsessed with them.
I'd chill with Coco.

Really, this last episode is going to do wonders for my writing ideas, though. I'm so excited about the prospect of an Applejack confrontation that I'm moving it up another part. Originally, part after this was going to go Scene love confession and then Rarity and Applejack intervening, but now I'm switching it.
I pick option E remember I earned my swimming merit badge, invoke the spirit of John F Kennedy and his actions on PT 109 and hope I can swim and save both of them and then find a lazy pretense to put them in hoof coughs once on shore. Because while I would enjoy karma in that form (and love envisioning brutal revenge) unless I had been actively fighting them and then knocked them into the water, I'm too bloody lawful of a lawful good to let them drown... I have to invoke the spirit of Roy Greenhilt for that at times...
If I had to pick which one I'd swim first to, probably Sven because I'd assume Mosley would have at least some more knowledge of swimming than him because at one point or another he was with the apple clan on the farm and probably got himself dunked on occasion.

Admittedly, I'm too much of a Lawful Good for this, anyways. This was more of a joke than anything else.
And you have a good point about Mosely. I'm about to put a plot point in there about how Granny Smith was (and still kinda is) bitter of him for taking her daughter away from him, so I'm sure he had to put up with a good deal of Granny shenanigans in his first year of the family. Which really is quite hilarious to imagine.

Also, this would be a good option as well. Presenting Option F:

Does Equestria even have phones though? Also if we saw them on earth that's a whole other can of worms. They'd be two alien life forms with who knows what pathogens on them and do you really want them representing Equestria to Earth?
3565306
Yeah, Equestria doesn't have phones to my knowledge. The humor to that sign, though, is more in the fact that the "drowning person" stick figure looks more like a "lol," which is what I suspect some fans of this story would do at this situation.
3565308 Fair enough but imagine after calling 911 to report two er lifeforms drowning, and then having to try and find a number to report a first contact situation... Probably State Department... and then you have to send them footage to show your not prank calling or on drugs...

Yeah, that would be rather odd. Writing another series about magical winged beings existing in an otherwise ordinary world, I have a lot of these types of situations planned in my head. The people these encounters keep happening to eventually just end up deciding it's pointless to try telling other people because they'll swear they're seeing fairies or something...
...even though they're really more of Frankenstein's monster-style humanoid experiments.
I would LOVE to give Rara and Coco hugs, but I have a bad sore throat right now. I wouldn't mind letting Mosely and Sven-whatshisface drown, though.
