The thing I always rather like while doing The Writings - both pony and non-pony - is the constant worry that this or that character will do something or act in a way that is less than reasonable or logical, that they might do something stupid for bad reasons.
Then I remember that that's actually just how people are, and that while no-one ever does anything for what they know are bad reasons they are instead very good at fixing it so that the bad reasons seem like good ones in their head. And think about the smartest person you know - it's resoundingly likely that they themselves have done enough dumb things in their life to fill a wheelbarrow.
Amusingly though, fictional characters are often held to a higher standard, and their comings and goings scrutinised more ruthlessly. Or so it seems to me, at anyrate. I know I do it, with my fretting over this and that.
What was that Mark Twain thing? Reality is under no obligation to be believable? I forget.
What waffle!
This is a very wise thought.
