Short Hand: Ponyville Confidential · 8:57pm Dec 6th, 2021
The Elements were quite put out over Gabby Gums' articles. Shepherd though was rather unimpressed.
Rarity: "How can you be so blase over this-this atrocity of a column!"
Shepherd: *shrugs* "Do remember I've had much worse, Rarity. I mean, the kingdom's tabloids routinely say I'm some sort of hedonistic monkey who plows every mare and stallion in Equestria."
Rarity: "Yes, yes, but that's all untrue! Just sensationalism! Gabby Gums is publishing real secrets about us!"
Shepherd: "I get that it's embarrassing. Really, I do. But flying off the handle isn't the proper way to deal with this."
Pinkie: "But it's so much fun! And besides, you haven't seen what Gabby wrote about you!"
Shepherd: "Uh huh? And what did a few school fillies write about me in their student newspaper?"
Pinkie Pie hoofs over the paper. Shepherd reads it.
Shepherd: "... 'Only Human in Equestria Steals Marefriends?' Come on, that's just nonsense! I just had lunch with Lyra to get her to stop trying to steal my socks! This is nothing to get excited about-"
Bon-Bon crashes through the window and slams Shepherd to the floor. She presses a dart gun against his throat.
Bon-Bon: "Hello Shepherd. I think we should have a chat."
Shepherd: "...This is slightly more concerning...:
The best part of setting things in early seasons is to use stuff they introduced later.
“ Do it pull the trigger you ain’t got the balls“
I like how Shepherd is more sensible in this. Although here's hoping he can deal with Bon Bon.

Bitch, she's a secret agent, she'll kill a mothafyayer and sleep like a baby.
You've managed to make one of my least favorite episodes feel sound. Congrats.
