Blog Post #61-03022018: Apologies and a Preview · 3:38am Feb 4th, 2018
First off, I'd like to apologize to those who are waiting for an update on either of my fics. Just to let you know that I'm still writing on When I Say Goodbye and when I'm finished with that, I'll start writing on the next chapter of The Big Man.
In the meantime, here's a preview of the latest chapter of The Big Man.
As soon as I stepped inside the house, my butler had informed me that my son had come home crying, locking himself in his room. My butler had assumed that little Albert had a terrible day at school, which I couldn't believe had happened. Albert was so confident that morning and he promised me that he would make the Blueblood name proud. Yes, Canterlot Memorial Grade School can be compared to untamed jungle where you have assert yourself as the big man and never let anyone forget it. If not the big man, than a loyal follower to the big man. Either one would have been preferable. My son promised me that he had everything under control.
When I opened the door to his room, I saw Albert in a now tattered school uniform. He ran to me and bawled, pleading forgiveness for not keeping his promise to me. He hugged me as tight as he could, crying over my shoulder as he told me about his day. It would seem that sons of many of my business rivals had formed a clique and had assumed their authority of the school yard and decided to disgrace my boy in front of the other students. My son went into the jungle with confidence and a smile...unarmed.
After Albert had stopped crying, I assured him that there was always tomorrow. That one day he will make the Blueblood name proud.
I also reminded him to never disappoint me again.

Can't wait for the next chapter of The Big Man.
Blueblood giving a sob story like that. Not surprising.
Huh, interesting. So even smarmy hitter/quitters have tragic backstories. It's not so much that he's an asshole for no reason, but that he's a product of his own environment. No wonder he feels so threatened by Spike.
