Q&A Blog 10 · 8:02am Feb 5th, 2016
Hey everybody. Just here with the next Q&A session.
I might not be able to answer anything until sometime Saturday, as I have plans this weekend. Things have been super hectic at my house lately and I need a breather. Either that or an oil drum filled with fuzzy navel.
Anyway, thanks for the patience. I will admit I'm having a little trouble figuring out how I want to format the upcoming chapter. I have a draft of nearly 5000 words already, and that's not even counting the before and after surrounding Gavin's story.
I'm thinking of setting it up like Spike's explanation of his family history, but with a more personal feel. Lemme know what you guys think. I can't give you any spoilers, but I will say it may very well change how you view Gavin.
Anyway, let the questions roll. I'll get back to you guys as soon as possible. Hope everyone has a great weekend, and thanks for everything!
1. So know that Sombra has his powers back can he take he's shadow form again and can that form fly because it would I find a couple flying together so cute.
2. So what can Sombra do and what can he learn?
3.So with all the elemental stones eaten and know all Spike needs is to learn darkness and light from the sisters so are you going to use what happen with Spike and the tree to have more monster fights before the climax?
4. Please tell me Fluttershy's kids will call them Uncle Spike and Uncle Sombra that would be to cute.
5. So the List of Spike's kinks are fangs, dark colors/side burns, and Sombra's villain voice. So am going to make a bet that role play is one of their favorites. Do the ever do bondage or role reversal?
6. When Spike does learn Light and Dark can he raise the sun and moon?
7. So are the still in summer or what season are they in and how many month's are left?
8. Let's me guess Gilda will be Ma and Fluttershy will be mom or mommy?
9. You know what would be cool, Spike learning invisablitiy.
10. So the heart thing Gavin did to the Raven's is that like that heart thing from Once Upon A Time or from somewhere else?
11. Speaking of family what are Pinkie. Dash, Rarity, Aj and Big Mac up too. And by that I mean are any of them married yet I know that Dash and Rarity are doing their dream jobs.
12. Can we get some magic tag of war, Sombra vs Lyra then Sombra vs Twilight? What I mean is I would love to see them use their magic to pull a rock or something from each other to see who is stronger?
13. Are they going to make a new sword and use shards from the old when that's aren't in Sombra's head?

1. & 2. Sombra's new abilities will be touched on in coming chapters as Sombra figures them out for himself.
3. There's still plenty of action to be had before the climax.
4. I don't know if I've clarified it or not, but Fluttershy and Gilda are going to be adopting very young children. Somewhere between baby and toddler. No talking just yet, but there's still a ways to go before story's end.
5. Role reversal sure, but a lot of it is Sombra being authoritative and taking charge. Spike kind of misses being told what to do sometimes because life is pretty uncertain now that he has a vague destiny and nobody giving him tasks makes him relax a bit. Plus the villain voice sort of taps into his inner comic-book nerd.
6. Theoretically. But it'd be quite some time before he could manage something like that. If you'll recall Gavin dropped a hint that Light and Dark take different forms for everyone. Learning skills beyond their individual specialty would be significantly more difficult.
7. It's late July. It's going to be Autumn soon, Sombra's birthday in October~!
8. Probably. I'm gonna let it come to me organically, but I'm 99% sure Fluttershy will be Mommy when they do speak.
9. Spike prefers a more direct approach. Invisibility would be cool, but I just don't see it. Pun not intended.
10. It's kind of like that I guess? It's a bit more complex than Regina and her mother's spell. Gavin has to create a blood crystal from his own blood to place in their chests and they can still be killed if the gem is outright shattered or their bodies are entirely destroyed. I might explore Gavin's control a bit more in the future.
11. Pinkie and Cheese are partying all around the world, Dash is married but no kids, Rarity is living it up in Canterlot single style, and Big Mac is married to his work. Dash is hitched to Soarin, BTW.
12. I'm probably going to do a training chapter to show progression after some time passes.
13. They collected the others, but the point isn't there. It diffused back into Sombra. His hair was one of the original components, and it was sort of reabsorbed as a catalyst to heal Sombra once his powers awakened.
Good ones. Not crazy spoilery either.
3734658 I'd say at least three, and probably all of them. Lyra isn't really into dudes obviously, but she has a fascination with all things sexual to varying degrees. She's the type of person that would never have sex with her friends, especially the guys, but is also super curious about things like how hung someone is or what their kinks are. Purely scientific interests.
The only reason Lyra wouldn't answer a question would be because Bon Bon would be angry at her for divulging things about their sex life.
The only time Lyra has been in extremely hot water with Bon Bon was when Lyra propositioned the royal sisters to join them in bed while drunk one Hearth's Warming. Rarity was equally upset because she was sitting across from Rainbow Dash who did a spit-take with wine on her prototype faux-fur coat which stained. Rarity herself was dyed pink for a few days too.
Also, Luna showed mild interest while Celestia was too dumbfounded to reply and instead shoved an entire cake into her mouth as an excuse not to speak.

4. I thought that they were going to be around 5 sorry
5. So like the reason why that guy from 50 shades of grey had is bondage thing but in reverse?
6. I just think it would be cool if he just did it once for shits and giggles, if he could do that would that boost him up the line of sheration?
7. Speaking of October, costume ideas am thinking ganondolf and bowser, Frankenstein and Dracula, or Death and War.
10. So a weaker version of the stones from fullmetal.
11. I forgot to ask is AJ married and how old are the twins I would imagine that there old enough to help at the store before Pinkie left.
11.

5. Maybe? I didn't really hop on that bandwagon.
6. Sheration? You mean ascension? Hmm. Well, Spike already has divinity in his bloodline. So anything is possible.
7. Oh yeah, Ganondorf would be sweet for Sombra. While I really love me some Bowser, Spike has kind of outgrown it at this point what with the neck and wings. Maybe Smaug? Or Blue Eyes White Dragon? Dunno. I really wanna do Sombra-Ganon now though.
10. Eh... Maybe like Wrath (Brotherhood) but totally mindless? Like the rejects but just as good?
11. AJ hasn't found anyone she could bare to settle down for. She's open to somebody asking her out, just as long as they can pull their own weight.
Pound and Pumpkin are 15. They were born in the same year Sombra returned while Spike was 11. Pound Cake works the counter for money so he can buy boxing gear. (Bad pun, I know) and Pumpkin helps cook but really wants to grow pumpkins (and eat them) more than the actual cooking. She helps out Carrot Top for bits too.
They were actually gonna be in an early iteration of the story but were shelved for time constraints.

5. No I that's just the referrer I wanted to use personally not my type of move and really a female being the bandaged one not my tastes.
6. Ya that's what I mean.
7. I think a shell would fit just fine on Spike, the neck is a bit of an issue but he doesn't have to be 100%. So if Spike was Smaug would Sombra be Soruain, or one of the drawfs. And Spike's blue eyes Sombra has to be the Dark magician or a dueler. I just thought of something Spike could be one of the dragon's from Zelda like Valoo.
11. That's funny I bet he names attacks after different times of cakes. Personally I think Pumpkin should be a fairy god mother, get it?
Speaking of the Twin, I was reading a fic called Unexpected Arrival. It's a story in where everyone's human and Spike just a baby that was unplanned from Twilight's parents and thus left Twilight as his guardern. But it had me think of a story where Twilight turns Spike back into a baby and she raises him as her son, and Spike's best friends would the Twins and then turn love-interest because who can say no too twins.
3738208 An AU story where the twins happen to be around the same age as Spike would be doable. Not really my sort of thing, as far as writing goes, but food for thought.
3738214 Is both of he Twins wanting Spike going to far? Also seriously Valoo it would so work, even throw Bowser would be cooler.
3738235 I have something planned for Nightmare Night don't worry. As far as the twins go, I could see them competing for Spike. Though Id say eventually he'd have to choose. I don't really approve of polyamory, and the twins are related.
3738938 One more thing I wanted to ask is there going to be a chapter on the origins of the Alicorns and Draconequus, I just think they would have some connection to the gods of old like the Harmony Tree?
3739019 Yes. Celestia and Luna's origins will be revealed while Spike trains with them. Discord too, when we see him next.
