    The Moral Event Horizon.

    Gonna discuss another trope today in relation to the Quiververse. In this case, it's the Moral Event Horizon. In simple terms, this is the point a character passes that forever marks them as EVIL and potentially irredeemable. TVTropes itself lists a few examples from FiM, and I won't repeat them here...though I will say that

    It never ends. It just...never...ends...

    So work decided to throw another curve ball at me. My supervisor has been transferred to another store. That means that I've had six supervisors in my department across six years, and it could take weeks, maybe even months, for us to get a new one. Which means I'm going to continue to be worked to death.

    So, I'm writing again.

    It's not much, but I got some writing done today. Now, be warned, it's going to be a very long time before I do anything related to the Quiververse again, but I'm hoping that time frame will be measured in months rather than a year.

    Still, at least I'm making some progress.

    A question to my readers.

    When I started serious work on the Quiververse, I made myself a promise. That promise was thus, to do the best I can to use whatever characters appear in a story to the best of my ability. I like to think I've done that, as various canon characters are reasonably consistent with their portrayals in the show (and arguably are undergoing development, though that's up to the reader), and my OCs have

    Been a little bit.

    So yeah, it's been a while. I guess I get to share a little news.

    First off, I'm making a little progress on finding a new place. I don't know if I've mentioned this, but I'm pre-approved for a mortgage, and now I'm talking to realtors. If I'm lucky, by the end of this summer, I'll have found a place and moved into it.

Better news, everyone. · 1:40am Jun 2nd, 2021

I'm pleased to say that work is continuing to progress on Chapter Four for Tales from a Double Date. By some miracle, I've gotten past two of the biggest hurdles I've had to deal with - my unwanted housemate appears to have finally accepted that I have issue with the living room television being on all day and is opting instead to use the television in her bedroom (yay on multiple fronts!), and I managed to come up with a good name for an antagonist in the final half of the story.

Folks might remember my desire to avoid demonizing the military? Well, I don't intend to portray the Equestrian Royal Guard as pure angels either. The show's presented them as (mostly) incompetent, and I've thus far tried to show them as competent and benevolent. But I'll be the last person to say that a soldier will always be a good guy, and the character that I'm bringing in? He's meant to demonstrate some of the worst that a soldier can do.

No gore, I promise, but don't expect to like this guy once everything's said and done.

Hey, awesome to hear that you've made progress! (Especially in regard to dealing with the housemate. :yay: )

All right, thanks for the heads-up. I'll be (morbidly XD) curious to see what this guy is gonna bring to the scene then...

Now that IS good news! :yay:

I do wonder about the up-coming antagonist, my guess is its a high-ranking one but I might be wrong on that. Could be a lower ranking soldier with money and connections.

We'll see. I am guessing that since the story so far is done with flashback that Flash and Sunny have already dealt with it or so.

I'm going to remain mum about the antagonist for now, but once you read the character's name, you'll likely peg them right away.
