People are making far too much out of not much at all.
Look at this way. You can give your soul to Jesus and still keep your day job. (Or insert any figurehead of religion here)
In this instance, the chosen religious figurehead just so happens to walk around among the mortals.
Hennessy watched and waited as Flicker headed out the door, off to take a morning shower. He suspected that Flicker hadn’t slept much, as when he woke up, Flicker was standing and staring out the window. Spud had Flicker’s whole bed to himself. Feeling concerned, he elbowed Piper in the ribs.
“He’s gone weird,” Hennessy muttered, “well, weirder. I’m starting to think that concert was a bad idea. I’m worried, Piper, and kinda scared.”
As I hammer out the current chapter, I keep listening to this. And songs like this.
Peering down, Flicker was somewhat surprised by just how good his vision was. All of the lights had dimmed, but he could see quite well, and he was a little mystified by it. The crowd had a strange silence to it, a silence that carried with it a demand. Overwhelmed by sensation, Flicker’s ears pivoted to face every sound around him. A cough, somepony breathing, the creak as somepony shifted in their seat, each little noise drew forth a reaction.
It is curiously hard to type when your left index finger is sliced open.
It's weird, it isn't the cut that is bothering me, even though it is pretty deep, all things considered. The last two sections of my finger are stiff as can be and I am having trouble articulating my finger from the second knuckle outward.
It even works out as a Gosling reference too.
It was a talk that his own mother and father couldn’t give him, as they were not unicorns and not at all versed in thauma-biology. Flicker’s teacup trembled and he did all that he could to steady it, but to no avail. It continued to tremble in his grasp and he worried that he might drop it.
“If I am to understand everything correctly, you have an interest in Hennessy, correct?”
A hot, prickling heat crept up Flicker’s neck as he nodded.
“I’m still miffed that Twilight dared to suggest my parents abused me.” Her lower lip protruding, Piper stabbed her beans and rice with her spoon. “I’m even more upset that she might be right. She told me to tell her everything and so I did and now I wish I hadn’t because some things, once they’ve been said, can’t be unsaid. Things feel complicated now.”
“All of you are so wonderfully creepy!” Rainbow Dash shivered and gave her wings a flap. “This job looks cool and all, but the but I bet all the cleanup is boring and gross.”
“It’s a living,” Flicker replied, realising that Rainbow Dash was one of those sorts of ponies. In his annoyance, his breathing increased a bit, and now it made a noticeable sound through his respirator.
Hennessy’s ears perked at the ghostly sound of Piper’s pipes in the distance. He could hear it, the rats could hear it, but from what he had been told, the sleeping ponies of Ponyville heard nothing. He felt Fluttershy shift against him and he sighed. The yellow pegasus was nice and he liked her a great deal. She was quiet, calm, and kind.
It just was. I might remove it from the final print. I don't know.
“You know, there are better things we could be doing, like studying… or… studying,” Flicker suggested.
“You know, you could join us. Maybe try something new. Something creative. Like you were assigned to do.” Piper gave Flicker a bold look and gestured for him to come over. Her ears drooped when his stern glare focused upon her with burning intensity. “You’re not being very fun.”
Distracted, Flicker was not prepared for an affectionate assault from a hesitant earth pony. Hennessy flung himself against Flicker and wrapped his forelegs around Flicker’s neck, clinging to him with everything he had. Hennessy drew in a deep, shuddering breath and then just sat there, holding Flicker, who become just about as animated as a statue.
While Flicker’s kindness might leave a little to be desired, much like his scrubbing in the shower, it was a reflection of his nature. The hard colt had a hard kindness that didn’t have much in the way of softness. He stood guard over his friends, looming over them, making certain they weren’t jostled or molested. Not far away, an older mare wailed—it made Flicker’s ears twitch—and she clutched a framed photo of a young stallion wearing golden armor. Around her neck hung two stars, one
Just something I randomly came across while doing some research. Sweet dreams.
The door to the conservatory was open and Flicker Nicker steeled his nerves. Help, it seemed, had arrived, and waited him within. He took a deep breath, feeling panicked and not understanding why. Unaccustomed to feeling panic, Flicker did not deal well with it. His whole body shuddered as he thought about the spider-hag and the sensation of panic when her four pony legs became eight spider legs. That panic was justified, because, spiders, and this panic was foolish.

That whole 50k words for November? I've done that in a week.
I may have a problem... help.
A little poem for you to read from a fella named John Keats and it is titled, La Belle Dame sans Merci.
O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms,
Alone and palely loitering?
The sedge has withered from the lake,
And no birds sing.O what can ail thee, knight-at-arms!
So haggard and so woebegone?
The squirrel's granary is full,
And the harvest's done.I see a lily on thy brow
With anguish moist and fever dew,
And on thy cheek a fading rose
Fast withereth too.
I listen to songs like this.
It helps.
I could see Flicker being like this when he's older.
He'd find something offensive and then whoops...
Edit: Same movie, different scene. Amazing movie.
Far, far away, in the Crystal Empire…
