I honestly don't know what to do with this · 2:35am Aug 17th, 2018
Basically, I've got one person who is an author, is still interested in ponies, puts up with me emailing him stupid snippets of scenes and then never talking about them again because I can't write, and responds to me. Present Perfect is a gem and amazing and I apologize for the nigh constant emails of random shit that comes into me head. (This is what happens when you're cripplingly introverted, but you still want friends. I'm like a raccoon: feed me and you'll never make me go away.)
Anyway, one thing I sent was a stupid little joke of a scene that had been running through my head. I dunno if it's based on anything (looks like it is. I guess the formatting sobered me up for editing), but I sent it to PP and he thought it was funny. I've thought about how/if it could fit into anything I tell myself I'm writing, but it doesn't. Maybe it'll inspire someone else? Maybe other's will get a laugh out of it. Maybe I should shut my fucking... fingers and just make a compilation fic for this kinda shit. But whatever, I'm like 10 sentences and beers in and too lazy to change my mind now.
So have a stupid thing I did. It started when I was thinking about how it must be a bit hard on Sunset to judge human appearance. Yeah, she's been at CHS for 3 years or whatever, and yeah, things like lack of blemishes and symmetry tends to be thought of as universal, but how would she know what was good looking? So yeah, if you've got 30 seconds, tell me what, if anything, I should do with this and/or any more stupid things I might have lying around.
Also write more Sunset shipping because I've finished/abandoned all the [compete]'s I've rustled up 
and am in bacon-withdraw.
(I hope the effort i put into formatting the fucking text doesn't get eaten by FimFic's format renderer.)
"Holy crap, Sunset!" Rainbow threw her hands up in disbelief. "How can you not know how smoking hot you are?!"
"Indeed, Darling." Rarity gently pushed Rainbow's arms back to her sides. "Between your complexion, hair, fitness, and your... endowment, you are quite beautiful."
Sunset Shimmer placed her calculus textbook back into her locker and gave her friends a sidelong glance as she slammed the door home. "My what?"
Rainbow Dash jumped forward and poked a finger at Sunset's sternum. "She means your amazing tits! Ow!"
"Oh my." Fluttershy pulled her backpack around in front and ducked behind it, as if she could hide from scene in front of her.
Rarity's forehead was wrinkled and one of her eye lids twitched. "Yes, thank you, Rainbow Dash," she said, through gritted teeth. Removing her fist from Rainbow's side, she allowing the other girl to slump against the lockers and Fluttershy. She smoothed her skirt and was back to beaming at Sunset, as if the whole incident had never happened. "What Rainbow Dash was trying to say, Darling is that, well... you're simply ravishing."
The bell rang, sending them scrambling for their next class.
Sunset thought about what her friends had said. She thought about it as she ran to class, she thought about it during her history test, she thought about is as she compared half-remembered answers with her classmates, and she thought about it as she made her farewells. She thought about it right up until she ran into the girls in the parking lot.
"Then why hasn't anyone asked me out?" Perhaps she could have lent some context to that question, but Rarity seemed to pick up on it after only four and half awkward seconds, but it was Rainbow Dash that answered first.
"Pfft." She waved Sunset's question away like a particularly unannoying gnat. "You're like, out of the league of ninety-nine percent of the boys here."
"Um," Fluttershy mumbled something too quiet to make out. When Rainbow prodded her she repeated, slightly louder. "You can also be a little... intimidating?" She shrunk behind her backpack, once again hugged to her chest like a pillow.
"Hrm, yes." Rarity brought a hand to her chin as she evaluated Sunset with a critical eye. "I supposed saving the whole school from those sirens and then your little display at the Friendship Games could make you somewhat hard to approach. Most boys don't relish the thought of being so thoroughly overawed by their girlfriends."
Pinkie joined them and they switched to other topics.
Sunset thought about those words too. She thought about it on her walk home. She thought about it as she cooked and ate dinner. She thought about it instead of her chemistry homework. And she thought about it as she opened her messages app.
What about the girls?
It would be a while before she received a response, but with any luck, she'd get one before tomo-
Sunset's phone buzzed with the quick staccato rhythm Twilight had helped her pick out for Rainbow Dash. As she reached to pick up up, it buzzed again. And then again.
OMG RU GUY?

Sunset's phone rang. She nearly jumped. Sunset's phone never rang. None of her friends ever used their phones to talk to each other. She lifted the ringing device gently. Unsure of exactly how to do this, she pressed the green button that had a silhouette of some sort of squared off banana. "Hello?"
"Oh my god, Sunset!" Rainbow's words tripped over each other. "You have to go out with me!"
"What?" Sunset was shocked. More so by the clarity of Dash's voice then the question itself. "You mean like a date?"
"Yes!" Rainbow giggled. She giggled. "Yes a date. I'm asking you and your amazing rack out on a date!"
And it looks like the formatting fucking died on mobile! Why isn’t there a clear:both element in bbcode?
and fucking edited. i am so bitter it no longer looks like a text box D:
Don't listen to him, all the stuff he sends to me is gold and I am pleased to be his sounding board :D
Well, I'm hooked. I need to read this story now.
Yes.
Kits, do the thing!
I am entirely in favor of this so long as Dash ends up opening the floodgates and literally every other student at CHS starts asking Sunset out. And if Twilight brings home the bacon, so much the better.
Potentially an interesting idea if not a premise for a story.
Though I'd expect Sunset to have picked up on the fact that she was good looking at some point even if she's bad at judging human appearance. We know she dated Flash, at least, and Sunset's reasonably good at reading people.

When I said I didn't know what to do with this, i meant it. I can see the amusement factor in a "Everybody Loves Sunset" fic, but I'm don't have ideas for it nor am at all confident that I can do it justice in the humor department. Plus I don't wanna leave a sad set of rejected friends :< Because I just do cuddles these days.
I have no conflict in mind or anything. Like, I could be convinced to do more of this if I had a story idea(and yes, that tots means you can throw them at me), but I'm just floundering in a vacuum. it's why I put it up here. No clue what to do with it, but it's funny enough I wanted to share.
Good smiles and laughs had, very entertained, very cute.😆
Also this.

But without SciTwi winning and instead indecisive harem route... which I normally hate but think could make for a comedic ending.

The whole thing started because Sunset just wanted free valentines chocolate

Ha! Great idea. That could easily be a couple extra lines at the beginning for some nice scene setting.
I don't think everything necessarily needs to be turned into a complete published story. These nice snips on your blog are still quite enjoyable.
Honestly I just like the way you incorporated the text conversation in, the format on that was seamless.
...okay, not just that, the rest was gold too, but that stood out as something I hadn't seen before, or at least not done that well.

It looked better before. I had used the figure=left tag to limit it to the left 1/3 of the page and then put it in quote tags to give it a box bg. Sadly, figure makes float style divs and the other text wrapped around it. I used pre tags and Unicode em spaces to force the rest of the text not to wrap (filling the right side with empty space) and it looked great!
Then mobile happebed. Mobile formatting doesn’t do float elements :(
But thanks! Manually spacing out sunsets lines was a shore to get right. But I needed it to look like a txt app and those tend to have the sender on the right.
