New Story - I Can Explain!

I have a new story which will be hitting FIMFiction in roughly 12 hours or so. From a writeoff earlier this year, it clocks in at just over 1,000 words.

I Can Explain!

Teen, Comedy, Sex
1,028 words

Rarity explains to Sweetie Belle what the Cutie Mark Crusaders saw when they walked in on her and Applejack.

Really.

I'm not sure if the summary is all that it can be; in particular, I'm uncertain as to whether it can be phrased better.

The line art for the cover art was drawn by Glacier Clear at BronyCon; I did the coloring for it last night, and am reasonably okay with how it came out.

Any feedback on the summary would be appreciated! And if anyone else wants to take a glance over it before I post it for errors or whatnot, let me know.

I had dripped some fudge ripple on my vagina and you know how easily my coat stains—

That's a bit crude.

This IS only a T-rated story, after all.

[Steel Resolve]

4186982 It is very crude, thank you. Also, society of nudists. I think they'd have less hangups about such things.

You clearly haven't read Augie Dog's Biology: A Romance.

One of the strangest stories I've read on the site to this day.

[Steel Resolve]

4186986 /shrug I'll give it a go. Can't be more weird than Amit's "Getting Laid".

I wouldn't really recommend it. It was more of an off-hand joke as that story gives ponies some sort of flap that prevents you from seeing anything naughty.

[Steel Resolve]

4187007 That is... utterly insane. I would sooner believe in a magical force that makes babies when two ponies love each other very much.

Ponies these days are nuzzling younger than ever. Talk to your foals about the dangers of unprotected tummy rubs.

[Steel Resolve]

4187010 Heh. Cute, but no, I mean the entire winningverse.

I have actually considered this explanation myself, in the past.

And then you get into flap fetishism and it turns into burn everything

In the roaring 20's of Equestria, "flapper" had a whole other connotation :V

[Southpaw]

I'd offer to assist but I'm leaving for LA as soon as commute traffic dies down.

And... It's my firm belief that ponies don't have naughty bits.

[Steel Resolve]

4187298 Yet babies and bathrooms exist.

[Southpaw]

4187311 It's still more attractive than the thought of 'flaps'.

[Steel Resolve]

4187350 I just think of it as a censorship spell cast on the cameras. Cameras which clearly exist because Pinkie shook the hell out of one.

4187363 You know, you're probably right. My theory is that MLP:FiM is pretty much a documentary, funded and produced by Celestia. She's probably preparing us for the inevitable invasion of cuteness. I mean, sweet little sexless ponies, right? What harm could they be? I'll bet they even have a book titled To Serve Man.

[Steel Resolve]

4187550 As long as we're not talking conversion bureau silliness, or CelestAI... I for one welcome our adorable overlords.

I searched it up and found a description of somebody pretending to use someone as a bong. Pretty much. Whuuu... did I look at the right thing? I was expecting something raunchier.

And now I'm thinking ponies are similar to nautilus; they have this protective leather flap they use when they duck into their shell.

4187363
Foamy's head cannon is that since ponies are magical, they have this passive glamour that hides their naughties. Well, they can let it down when doing other activities.

Personally, I don't really mind either way. Wherever the author takes me and all. I just think ponies having their junk showing is just more reasonable.

It's perfectly natural:

I mean, as far as anything's natural in Equestria. Think of if as a magical external sphincter that keeps a pony's hindquarters smooth and uninterrupted till any of several biological necessities requires it to open.

4187669 That may well be the weirdest headcanon I've ever heard. I mean, damn.

Like a snail retracting back into its shell. Such is the ways of the mollusk :B

I'm going to throw this into the shitpost part of my head. Ponies are mollusks can go with ponies are cats, ponies are marshmallows, Luna as a pelican instead of a stork, and Bidoofershy. Worth mentioning that Braeburned draws his ponies super squeaky shiny, like the skin of a mollusk.

I wouldn't:

Call it headcanon. It's just this weird idea I had that I ended up using as the basis for 125,000 words of AppleShy shipping spread out over a trilogy of stories.

Speaking of which, I don't think I've ever left a comment telling you how much I'm enjoying Green--I think it may have been one of the first stories I approved for posting when I started as a pre-reader at Equestria Daily...

[Steel Resolve]

4187764 Oh my, what a story to start off with. I'm glad you've enjoyed it. I do actually intend to give your trilogy a read, ribbing aside. If I can read trixie's magic bit I don't see butt flaps being much weirder.
