To the readers of Deer Me, I haven't abandoned you · 10:14pm Mar 16th, 2016
People seem to get upset when they don't hear about things considering one of their favorite stories, so I figured I should tell you when I'm doing something else.
I'm working with Majora to fix the current chapters and saw an image of Twilight that sparked an idea for a one-shot, so I'm going to do that one-shot and see what happens, although I know that things like it only garner about 80 views in three months. It's still interesting for me, though, and I might explore it in detail later on. I know you're there, Qwertzuy!
That being said, concerning Deer Me, Copper Blossom will become recurring and properly developed character in the next chapter and so forth, so no more speculation about her dangerous obsession lovesick thoughts of Stelimus.
no more speculation about = absolutely positive confirmation of
I wonder just how Gregary will emotionally deal with Copper Heart actively trying to bed his Stelimus body.

You responded to my comment before i finished editing it!
3811665 Fear my powah.
You can't stop the smooze! I mean speculation! No one can!
I saw the notice in the story description. I didn't realize there was much of anything that needed editing, though.

Still i am worried about how Gregary views himself and others sexually, as his fast-forward-feeling youth implies a strong sense of emotional or physical asexuality, if his coma-dream perspective did not go so far as to make him never even bother to masturbate.
Or maybe my worries are entirely unfounded and Gregary totally got into character as "Stelimus" and totally wanked off onto whatever porn existed in Anglacite's kingdom and totally got laid through his social influence as the kings som and totally is in tune with his body's instinct of what makes other's equinoid bodies hot or not!
And this is all without going into the M.Night-Shamalan-esque emotional-twist that Gregary has been viewing and treating Copper Heart with relationship techniques he originally used for his human daughter and now he will have to deal with his new "daughter" ACTIVELY trying to seduce amd flirt and bed his Stelimus body!!!!

Or maybe we could just not consider it, because it's a T-rated story and really not particularly relevant or important to anything.

I mever thought of it like that.
All this time i thought everything was foreshadowing that Stelimus would follow the theme of "every deer in relationship to/related of the God-King bloodline is fucked up", and i figured that would be how Stelimus would accidentally fit the pattern, since he has the unfair psychological advantage of having been Gregary the middle-aged middle-class parent.
I do feel that most every repeat character we have seen has been mentally unhealthy, or otherwise damaged in their personality.

It's somewhat of a natural conceit for a story like this. Happy, healthy people living a well-adjusted life is a pleasant idea to think about, but it doesn't make for the most riveting kind of story. As Tolstoy said, all happy families are alike. All unhappy families are unhappy in their own way. That kind of thing provides a better impetus for a plot. I get your point there, but I think we shouldn't overinterprete.

I had assumed going down the aforementioned route would be an easy source of storytelling points and character drama scenes.
I ask you: what else is an obsessive himedere character in a "new body new life" good for from a story perspective?
3812171
Considering the entire story until now has been told without ever mentioning the topic, I think it's somewhat obvious that it's good for quite a lot of things. It might be an easy source of canned plot points, but that's also kind of a problem: it's easy and cheap and overused and a lot of people would probably prefer it if it just didn't go there. Too many story that don't need to have any sex in it start debating it because the author has personal hangups about it. I'd prefer if it just wasn't there at all.
Also, I have really no idea what that word means.

Himedere is a borrowed idiom used in anime/manga contexts. This character type has the bearing and expectations of a stereotypical princess ("hime") AND the mindset of the ideal feminine sweet hearted romantic persuer ("dere").

I see. Well, there's still a lot of potential answers for that, though. We don't really get to see enough of the character. It might be played straight or a setup to eventually subvert the idea in some way. It's something that'll need to be shown yet.
Besides, Copper doesn't seem too stereotypically princess-like to me, on the basis of being an adopted commoner alone.

That is what has me excited!!!
Psychopath has always thrown curveballs with the personalities of everyone Stelimus becomes familiar with even in passing, which inspirec my claim of a "fucked up relations" theme earlier.
Will the hints of obsession and determined self-grooming of her "all for Stelimus" personality be only the tip of an iceberg of crazy that Cadance has been (un?)wittingly nurtured in her desperation?
Will she actually be perfectly normal just to defy current convention and make room for future personality oddness to come to light?
Will her romantic notions collide against Stelimus' self image and reincarnated biases?
Will Stelimus (accidentally?) induce an (increase/decrease/transformation/perversion) of Copper Heart's (love/lust/possessiveness/self-image)?
Will what (appears to?) happen cause an (altercation/intervention) involving Cadance and Armor?
And then there's the political source for character drama motivations!!!
I'm positively giddy to see just how badly things will get fucked up this time, especially if the answer is a negative number!!!

That's certainly something I can agree with. So many interesting possibilities in this. I admit, I am personally kind of hoping for more of the show's cast to eventually get involved. Copper is Shining Armor's daughter, after all, and therefore quasi both Celestia's and Twilight's niece, in a vague way. Whatever involves her would probably bring them in at some point. That would make for some pretty interesting scenes.

*sniff sniff* Nobody has debated on my stories since 2012.
Also, the reason I never mentioned anything sexual is because it never crosses my mind. I did the same thing with From man to mare. Such things just aren't important for me and I prefer to forward the story and develop the characters rather than...write about that
.

Well, glad you enjoyed it.
I sympathize. I'm hardly prudish, there are just some things I don't want to think about in connection to little pastel ponies from a children's TV show.
3812334 For me it's simply the thought in general.
3812337
Well, different strokes, I guess.
