A Series Of Great Ideas (Or Not): A Night in Shining Amour · 4:12am Aug 8th, 2019
*SPOILER ALERT*
Chapters 15 and 16, titled "A Night in Shining Amour - Parts I and II," are probably, along with Chapter 9, my favorite chapters of the story.
The premise of these chapters is simple: through the powers of a memory spell, the story of how Shining and Flam kidnapped Apple Bloom is revealed in a flashback. They hold a special place in my heart because they're the original premise for the story. The basic idea from the earliest point was that Shining Armor and Flam would have a rowdy Guys Night Out, leading to an irreversible crime that shook their worlds. The whole entire story was built around these two chapters at first, and I later on decided to build more mystery and intrigue by putting them to end as a big reveal, following their escapades. I think it was the best decision I could've made for this story, and created a much better narrative than I ever could've hoped.
The text itself is also so goofy. There's the introduction of Prince Blueblood, romance sequences, silly one-liners, plus the main characters are intoxicated for about 90% of it! It's just such a fun and wild ride, and I'm quite pleased with how these two turned out.
If you're all caught up on the story, please, check these new chapters out! The story is reaching its ending soon, so also look out for the big conclusion.
