Hands: The Stars Revolt! Part 4 · 5:54pm Dec 1st, 2019

I have to admit, I am strongly tempted to turn these Hands shorts (some of them anyway) into actual stories in order to get more views and likes-I MEAN to share the joy of writing this with others! Yes, that's what I meant. :trixieshiftleft::trixieshiftright:

Frankly, it was just kind of a snap decision to write Shepherd appearing in Season 2. But with Discord coming loose, it seemed natural. Still, I could always write it another way. Have it be another Shepherd, one whose Earth wasn't taken over by aliens. Anon is popular as a name for Humans in Equestria, but no reason I can't name all my human OCs Shepherd, right?

Anyway!

Shepherd is having a nice dream about wandering Antarctica with penguins who happen to be rocket powered... When a cute girl with dark blue hair and turquoise eyes appears. Again. And once again, she just watches him. Even as the dream turns into an MC Escher Stairs labyrinth.

Shepherd: "Uh... Hey!"

Luna: *Blushes, and flees*

Shepherd: "Well that was weird... Eh. It's a dream, right? It's supposed to be weird. Isn't that right, Professor Arachnocles?"

*A jumping spider in a top hat with a monocle, drinking tea, nods*

Professor Arachnocles: "INDUBITABLY!"

The next night... Same thing. Luna appears in his dream about flying a Rebel speeder over Hoth.

Shepherd: "I'm going in! Cover me Hobbie!" *Dives between the legs of an AT-AT... Then Luna is flying next to him, staring intently* "Eh?! Hey, what are you-?"

He's shot down by an AT-AT and crashes hard.

Shepherd: "Okay..."

Third night, Shepherd is in a 1930s cartoon city where everything has a face... And Luna again appears, shyly watching him. He sighs, then turns and walks up to her.

Shepherd: "Look: Is there something I can help you with?"

Luna: *Blush* "N-No! I am just another figment of your imagination and not Princess Luna spying on your dreams at all!"

Shepherd: "..."

Luna: "... Excuse me." *Begins beating her head against the nearest wall*

Wall: "OW! Hey, watch it!"

Luna: "Sorry!"

In the real world, the next day...

Shepherd: "So... I think Princess Luna is dream stalking me. Is that even possible?"

Twilight: "... Yes. Yes it is. And I think I have a few letters to send... *low voice* And some death threats."

Shepherd: "Huh?"

Twilight: *Sing song* "Nothing~!"

Aw, c'mon, Twilight! Let Best Princess have some Hands-on action, too!

I'd love to see these as stories. But I also love the blog posts as I'm more likely to read them right away. And the script format of the blog posts is fun.
Whatever you choose to do I look forward to reading more.
I wish my writing were this entertaining.

I wouldn't mind a Shepard multiverse. Maybe even throw in a reverse gender Shepard, a Your Shepard and You, and an RGRE Shepard for good measure.

Hey i like those ideas. My fav being RGRE Shepard i think that has great comedic storytelling. I'd love to see how he'd react to the mares basically babying him

Only if it leads to Crisis on Infinite Shepherds.
And at least one riff on "I AM THE SON OF A SHEPHERD!"

Just make these into an Omake spin-off series.

I would like them as stories, just so I could favorate them.
