Equestrian Fanfiction

Coming Out

Eric Wildrose

Engineer, friend, chosen

Eager and smart, Eric was interested in technology before he could walk. A keen mind, he excelled in school and won a host of science awards, yet had few friends, preferring to live in his own fantasy world. All that changed once the mirror-sprite appeared and shared its knowledge of world portals in exchange for a single favor.

Siblings: Caterina
Place of birth: Mistmount, Gumania

Mentor deity: Hades
Magic power: Portal control
Eternity gem: Unknown

"When I look in mirrors they just wave back."

And we finally got Eric. Hardly surprising, since there's just one slot left and it has to belong to Euryala. To be honest I expected most. There were several hints that he was receiving help from some magical entity. I didn't see him being a follower of Hades, though. If anything, I thought he'd be anti-Hades, but guess the writers planned on that all along. (Them sneaky writers! :))

Weird thing about the mirrors. I must check if there are any mythological creatures that affect mirrors in anyway.

Awkward isn't it? I write something dramatic, vanish without a word, then I'm back just like that? Might as well come clean and get this thing over with.

My parents sent me to a shrink yesterday. Guess they had enough. Two hours in a small room talking nonsense...and I finally cracked. And I'm glad. I've so much shit in me you wouldn't believe. Looks like I'll be going to therapy from now on. I've always dreaded this, but after one session, i must say I don't feel any worse than usual. (I'm kidding. I feel a mess, but also a bit less burdened.)

As part of my therapy I'm now free (encouraged even) to write and be as active as possible on the site. (The curator thing come at the perfect. Thanks to whoever floated my name) Guess, I'm here to stay. For a while, at least.

Oh, and as part of my therapy I must share my big disgusting secret. I'm... I think I'm into fillies. (I added ellipsis for dramatic effect. Cool, eh?)

I just like to thank you, girls for all your help. Without you and this place I've no idea what I would have done. (The last filly psycho murderer was locked away eight seven years ago. I checked.)

But hey, enough of my crap. Homies! Wooo!

RRBB

You can be such an idiot, you know that?

Short&Hoofy

@RRBB: I must agree with Short on this. At least you're our idiot and we love you. (Don't get any ideas!) if you weren't so stubborn and listened to me, you might never had had anger issues! You scared us shitless! (Of course your parents would keep it a huge secret. Mine are just as bad in that regard.)

Anyway, Eric...

I don't know anything that reacts to mirrors other than nightmares. Interesting if there's a connection between mirrors and the portals between worlds. I know it sounds crazy, but weirder things have happened. I really hope Eric doesn't turn out to the be "traitor" archetype (or worse—the Everprince.) Apart from being a terrible chliché, I'd be sad if it turns out the nicest humie is evil.

Your thoughts?

PaintDrop

@RRBB: I'm so proud of you! It takes tremendous courage to do what you did. Starting is the first step to recovery. And if there are ANY hurdles on your way just let us know. We're your friends are are here for you. Never forget that!

LyraHands

@RRBB: you're cool. I've been going to therapy for three years. Nowadays it mostly feels like a chat, but I keep doing it so I don't go on a downward spiral again. You're much stronger than me, though. I'm sure you'll be fine in a few months.

@PaintDrop: Argh! I really hope things don't end up like that :( It's Eric! Think of all the nice things he's done (all the water bottles :P). If anyone, Blazen must be the traitor!

By the way, gave you noticed how everyone in the group is special? I mean special in relation to the Everthings. So far Blazen and Omni are said to be the ones to kill the Everprince, and the rest are the only ones who can save the world from his power. (Also, are we sure the Prince is male? I know the name suggests it, but the dragons have a girl for Dragon Lord.)

Maybe things aren't what they seem?

PrinceEric

@RRBB: Come here, you! *hugs* Why did you keep this from us, you silly filly? We could have helped! I live twenty minutes from your house! I'm just so mad right now I want to give you a hug!

Brush

Unlike fanfics, same sex is a tricky subject. I don't blame you for keeping it hidden to yourself, but give us some credit, will you?

It's sad that we live in a society that frowns upon such tendencies, but if everypony keeps it to herself things won't get better. Now, I'm not saying you should start screaming in the streets or constantly shouting it out, but for stats' sake share it with a few close friends! PaintDrop has known you for ages and I bet even she didn't know. Without having somepony to talk to it's normal you'll have anger issues, depression, or both! What's done is done, but I'm still upset at you. :/

Now I can start raging about the new "brilliant idea" the writers have! (Sorry, Prince Blueblood, but come on!) My Two month puppy can come up with something more original!) the good guy is suddenly the traitor/villain all along. What's next? Euryala is some deity princess? At this point I wouldn't be surprised if that came up with (a crappy) explanation for that.

I've given MCE many changes so far, but if they pull this on Eric, I'll stop reading!

MixaMax

@RRBB: hang in there. One day at a time.

@MixaMax: you're simply infuriating! I'll be arriving this weekend on the three thirty train.

Jade

@Jade: Great! :) I’ll have sis clean up the house!

MixaMax

Wow! Just woooow!
