So, on Going Deep Under one last time... · 4:12pm Feb 1st, 2018
Okay, so believe it or not, we're actually approaching the finale of the story. Just two to three chapters left, actually. Now, before I even think of starting work on them, just want to thank y'all for your continued support of this story. Seriously guys and gals, I don't know where I'd be without you.
Now, a few questions about things. I did, eventually, decide in the end a clash of ideals was the best way to go with things. Isolationism VS revealing yourself to the world and asking for help when needed. Trouble is, I have no idea of... Well, I have some sorta idea how this would go about with the crew eventually taking a third option relating to information from Twilight's journal, I just need help constructing good arguments from both sides. AKA Twilight and/or Fancy Pants VS Princess Ember.
If anyone knows how to construct good arguments, feel free to offer your advice. God knows I need it.
Secondly, the Grape Vine issue. Now, in my eyes, he has chemistry with both Skystar and Trixie, but of course the obvious problem. Harem, or no harem? A harem, of course, would solve it outright, but there would be issues stemming from that. Jealousy on both of Grape's partners' parts as realistically, you wouldn't be able to give either wife enough attention in both the affection department and on... other matters. (I did see a guy brag once on his userpage (Not here on FIMfic) that he slept with two women at once, but I got the very distinct feeling he was lying. Second problem is, Grape's been getting far too much time in the spotlight already as it is, and while I do plan to fix that issue with the "Take the Third Option" mentioned above, this might just be pushing it a little too far.
Now, once again, advice on this would be appreciated.
Well, harem option might solve things for Grape, you are right that it would cause conflict within his harem but not just with a wife not getting enough attention. Society at this point would likely be less receptive to a herd, especially if it involves one involving a pony being with a non-pony.
Plus, Skystar would have to leave her people behind to be with Grape, or Trixie would need to leave her home Grape if he chooses to stay in Neighlantis. There's no true happy ending for these three regardless of what happens.
