Behind the Story: The Drumming Pegasus · 11:30pm Sep 28th, 2020
Sorry, this is late this time, but I’ve been so tired recently.
But today, I finally went to sleep and got up at a reasonable hour, so I’m doing this.
Yes, Reinn is my ponysona, and that name arose because the creator is terrible at names and decided to reshuffle hers to make a new one.
But anyways, I was talking with RedRiddleDawm, the fantastic person who drew my pfp. They mentioned their backstory for their OCs, and I realized that the extent of Reinn’s backstory was that she was trans.
So, I came up with a cutie mark story for her, based around my real-life talent. The story isn’t realistic though, I discovered my talent for drumming by getting behind a drum kit and people actually liking it despite it being my second time playing. I’ve played live twice since, though neither concert was particularly professional.
In the story, Reinn got hers in a bit of a different way. The talent show idea came about as I was writing.
In a shocking difference from my recent writings, no song references were uttered. I couldn’t tell you what songs the bands played, either.
The story was in part inspired by the monologuing the title character does in Enola Holmes, and Wayne’s World, to that extent. I also just love writing about chatterboxes who often break the fourth wall. Write what you know, I guess.
Not really much else to say on the topic of this story. A lot of it came about while writing, and all OCs are mine.
And if you have no clue what I’m talking about: here.
And until next time; be awesome!

Reinn is such a pretty name. Looks like 'queen' in French

So it does. Would’ve worked, too, if it didn’t have two ‘e’s.
The idea was rein, like a horse rein, but my name has two ‘n’s.
I still liked the idea though, so her name’s Reinn.
I do feel the need to say this:
I like ‘ponifying’ normal phrases to use them in my stories, and I did so with this one, too.
Here’s the ones I used:
“It cost an arm and a leg,” to,”It cost[ed] a hind leg and a wing.”
“Panties in a bunch/knickers in a twist,” to,”Feathers in a mesh.” (but I used the phrase wrong, it still works in the story context, though.)

Ah, me too! It's the distinguishing point of a ponyfic- all "hand" swapped for "hoof" and liberal usage of "oh my Celestia", "for Celestia's sake" etc
