Gold Gun🎵 · 3:57am Sep 6th, 2021
Original Song: Big Iron - Marty Robbins
To the town of Ponyville, strolled a changeling one fine day
Hardly spoke to folks around her, didn't have a lot much to say
No one dared to ask her business, no one dared to say their ranks
For the changeling there amongst them had a gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
It was early in the day when she strolled into the town
She came walking from the south side slowly lookin' through the crowds
There’s an outlaw loose and running, came the whisper from her lip
And she's here to do a deed with the gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
In this town there was an outlaw by the name of Miss Sparkle
Many colts had tried to kill her and those many colts were dead
She was a vicious murderer with a youth of 24
And the notches on her pistols numbered one and 19 more
One and 19 more~
Now the changeling started yappin’, made it clear to all around
She was called Heroine, and wouldn't be too long in town
She was hired to take an outlaw back with a bullet in their chest
And she said it didn't matter she was after one of the best
After one of the best~
Wasn't long before the story was relayed to Miss Sparkle
But the outlaw didn't care, as those who tried before were dead
20 colts had tried to kill her, 20 colts weren’t hard to break
21 would be the changeling with the gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
The time had passed so quickly, it was time for their duel
It was half past 11 when they walked out to the road
Foals were watching from the windows, everypony held their breath
They knew this poor changeling was about to meet her death
About to meet her death~
There was 40 feet between them when they stopped to turn and face
And the crafty little changeling is still talked about today
Miss Sparkle had not anticipated the golden revolver
And the changeling blindsided her with the gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
It was over in a flash, and the ponies gathered round
There before them lay the body of Miss Sparkle on the ground
While she laid there sad and bleedin’, she should’ve made a break
But she tried to duel the changeling with the gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
Golden gun, golden gun~
When she tried to duel the changeling with the gold gun on her flank
Gold gun on her flank~
Ooh, Heroine song
Ooh! Go Heroine!

Heh, well?
5578305
So… an Uzi?
5578309
Like it!
5578309
Nice. Is this part of that new album?
5578309
I like the song but it doesn't have that catchiness like the original
“to the town of Agua Fria rode a stranger one fine day...”
5578310
Yay
5578311
Mm-mm
But
I need to do more stuff with Heroine. I mean, she’s such a shift from our usual asshole, Hero
5578318
Mhm
5578318
Honestly, no kidding. I mean, it’s good to have variety in a Rule 63 counterpart, but…
It’s hard to believe Heroine is actually Hero’s counterpart.
5578320
Yep
I mean, don’t get me wrong, she’s not afraid to spill some blood, but like
She’s definitely not the jerk we’re used to
And that could make for some interesting story telling
5578323
Yeah…
I am curious… why isn’t she like her male counterpart?
5578324
I honestly don’t know
I just like the ‘It’s Always the Quiet Ones’ trope, so I thought
Huh. Why not make Hero’s counterpart the physical embodiment of that trope?
5578325
Quiet ones?
Like, Link from Legend of Zelda?
5578326
Not like that
I like to think of Heroine as a more violent Fluttershy
Sure, she’s shy and quiet, that don’t mean she ain’t afraid to kill
5578327
True, but where did the shyness come from?
5578328
I dunno, really
5578341
Huh
Neat
