Now you're getting it!

1158356
I am not a simple guy.

1158351

He's messing with our minds.

1158360 Which is why we struggle to see what you're planning. You're not easy.

This is the first time you did a Q&A thing and I have nothing. Feels weird man.

1158364
Giggity.

1158365
Want to chat about what's happened so far?

Never really done one of these before. It's fun.

1158364

RUN BEFORE IT'S TOO LATE.

1158367
Well, let's talk about Mother. What was the inspiration behind her? Is it a coincidence that she looks like Faust?

1158371 I think it's too late.

1158371
Too late to apologize?

1158376
Inspiration was, believe it or not, the Good Fairy from every Grimm tale ever. Sure, she's benevolent, but mess with her and she will jack you up. As for looking like Faust, who else would you put in the position of ultimate creator of the universe?

1158390 I'm not sure if you'll answer this or not but I might as well ask it. Is she omnipotent?

Ohh yes, let's talk about Mother.

THe thing that's really messing with her is the massive spilt across the cosmos between chaos and order, yes? If so A) does that mean there is an odd number of universes? and B) If our Twilight's universe hits an exact balance what happens to everything else?

Or is that spoilers?

1158390
Point taken. Now, onto Apple Bloom. Was she always fated to die? Was Scootaloo's death planned as well?

1158390

Gotta love the brothers Grimm.

1158392
She is what I would term the Deus In Machina. She isn't the one running the machine, she is the machine, and she can run herself. She's as aware of different universes as you are of the hairs on your head. If something's wrong, she'll notice, but it's difficult to do that.

1158393
Yes, an odd number. Originally there were going to be one thousand and one, because I love those stories, but that's not early enough. So, like on the playground, there are infinity and one.

1158394
Yes, and yes. Because emotional trauma is enjoyable to me.

1158405

And now you're screwing with math concepts as well.

Well done you.

1158397
Faeries, man. Freaking faeries.

1158413
EXPAND YOUR MIND.

Where did you get your original inspiration for these stories?

1158412
Any sort of inspiration to the kinds of zealots that Apple Bloom was a part of?

1158423
The Janissaries.

1158418

STOP SCREWING WITH MY HEAD.

1158444
I didn't force you to think that way. You let me in, my friend. I might just stay a while.

1158430
Do you believe that Luna is part of the problem or is she simply not doing her job?

1158450 You remind me of the chess master trope.

1158450

Tell me...

Are you secretly Discord?

1158455

He does doesn't he?

1158459 Either that or Magnificent Bastard.

1158453
She, just like Celestia and Discord, wants to express herself. She doesn't have much compunction about how she does it, just like them. But it's very hard for her to do that, because things are swinging back and forth between Order and Chaos so quickly. It's like walking a tightrope with two hyperactive toddlers dangling off of your legs and kicking at each other.

I find it interesting that Twilight parallels both Lucifer and Jesus. Your portrayal of her has her perfectly balanced between what is traditionally know and good and evil.

1158462

AIR STREAM YOU MAGNIFICENT BASTARD, I READ YOUR FANFICTION!

1158455
1158462
Tropers! My people!

Hello, my name is Morgan Freeman. You may remember me from such films as "Shawshank Redemption", "Bruce Almighty", "You Are Now Aware of Your Tongue", and "Wondering When you Last Blinked". You are breathing manually, and realize that you are probably slightly itchy somewhere.

1158478 Well. Fuck.

1158464
So she's just being reckless about it? I'd imagine that Twilight is going have a talk with her very soon.

1158473
Don't forget Eve!

1158482
You have no idea.

1158486 Wow.

1158488
Discord's the Serpent, and Celestia is obviously God. Except she doesn't believe in free will, so she also parallels Satan in that regard.

I love the parallels to religion. Did you have them planned from the start?

1158487
They want the same thing, balance. Just very different methods, I suppose. Whether or not Twilight believes that Luna should be fired is probably going to be the real consequence of their discussion.

1158496

How are you this incredible?

1158500
Yep. Look at the first story. What was Twilight's boyfriend's name?

1158502
I read a lot, and retain most of what interests me. Then I can turn around and re-apply it. Long story short, I'm kind of smart.

1158504

Well played Airstream, Well played.
