"If you want to get better at anything, you have to be able to enjoy being bad at it." (PFP by @renawoods.bsky.social)

T

After a concert in Manehattan, Octavia overhears somepony calling her a fillyfooler and gives a heartfelt, somewhat drunk, curse-filled speech regarding it.

Inspired by a brief mention of the event in "Tools" by Samey90.

Tons of swearing, by the way.

And in case your eyes are allergic to letters, there is this fabulous Youtube reading by Octavia Winged T. Spears: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=URysKo0Ymk0

OMG i cant breathe!:rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh::rainbowlaugh:

By my count, Tavi only swore (and used mean terms) for about 40 times. So she's over paying, but they probably won't realize since Vinyl was too amused by the entire thing anyways. :pinkiehappy:

Rather interesting take on the characters and amusing to read. Good job :pinkiehappy::twilightsmile:

r u avin a giggl ere m8?

Made me think of this

I know it's an overall immature story, but I love the idea of Octavia being fed up with everypony's shit.

Oh shit, that's one for the bit jar. Oh, shit, there's another.

*reads the short description on the main page* Hmm, sounds a bit familiar... *reads the long description* Wow... Now I have to read it :twilightsmile:

When I read that mention of it in your story, I'm like "Oh, I've GOT to write that!" And it was good, because I've been wanting to write a Vinyl/Octavia fic since I read "University Days."

4501184
Oh yeah... Btw, that was awesome :rainbowlaugh: I counted about 40 swears in Octavia's speech, so 50 is a good estimate... :pinkiehappy:

I kinda gotta disagree with you on removing 'into' from
'she had ingested into her body.'
Because the entire line would read

Vinyl probably had a much larger tolerance for alcohol because of the amounts she had ingested her body.

Which makes no sense(and 'ingested her body' sounds like she ate someone :twilightoops:)

It would read better if everything after 'ingested' was just cut out.

Swear jars, the reason I could never afford That Action Figure Or Hot wheels Set As A kid. I did get my mom a new set of kitchen counters with the swear jar though.

I just read "Tools" earlier, and when I saw the swear jar bit, I really wanted to see the story. Then, as if by magic, here you are. Loved it

sweet jesus :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh:
have 5 moustaches :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache: :moustache:

THIS... JUST THIS

I HAVE FOUND THE FIC THAT HAD MADE MY DAY!:yay:

seriously this cheered me up. :twilightsmile:

“How you feel?”

"How do you feel?"
_______________________


38 bits for Tavi, and she's giving 50 that's generous. Seriously though this fic was funny.

4503385 Some people say it as "How you feel?" Even if it isnt correct, some people do say it like that.

4503753 Yes. Though more accurately, its more like "How you feelin?" or "How ya feelin?"

4503778

I think my soul just wept a tear of blood at how bad that grammar was and that people actually do that. It's almost as bad as people saying "irregardless". Which is equally as bad since ir is not and thus the opposite of regardless which is regarding [the thing the person said irregardless about].

There are worse things people can do than "simplifying" the English language.

"I only wish she wasn’t one of those damn fillyfoolers....”

“But I didn’t mean to use it as a slur!”

surrrrrreeee you didn't...:facehoof:

I'm going with gay Tavi and bi Vinyl. :twilightoops:

“Yay!” Bombed Bon cheered. “Out of the way, ponies! I’m eating taffy tonight!”

Taffy?!?! I want some too!
*whisper whisper whisper*
:twilightoops:....on second thought...I'll pass.

I haven't laughed this hard in a while! Bravo, my friend, and go Tavi! :rainbowlaugh::pinkiehappy:

Congrats, you have earned my fave.

Ok, this was amazing.

I have one thing to say to this... DAYUM! What? What swear jar?! WHEN THE FUCK DID WE GET A FUCKING SWEAR JAR?! Shit... That's four fucking dollars... Wait a minute... :facehoof: Anyways good story, I always thought about how ponies would act drunk, and this is pretty much how I would see Tavi, prim and proper when sober, then progressively more 'uncouth' as the drinks go down... :rainbowlaugh:

4509646 I thank you sir for bringing this into my life.

Oh, man... People actually say "irregardless?" Have they no shame? Surely they realise how incorrect it is. That's like forgetting to capitalise the "I" when writing a story. It just isn't done! You, sir, have caused a certain young person to cry in despair by revealing that fact.

Please tell me you're joking. Please!

Read the following links if you want to both laugh at others expense while simultaneously loosing alot of faith in humanity.

Irregardless is the first word on the list. Although there are mature words used in this link. Good stuff though.

5 frequently misused proverbs. [This will make you have bruises from multiple facehooves.]

the sequel to the above links, article.

The above links are a mixture of some of those things.

Yeesh. Way to make Octavia and Vinyl evil.

4509646 Excellent choice!

I side with the "pompous asses." I now have next to no faith in humanity - although you were correct, the articles did make me laugh!

Short, cute, and funny! I like it! :heart:

36 times minimum... but it depends on what you consider a curse...

“And I one thing to say to you and that is that you are a damn bigot for saying such a slur.”

Should be, "And I have one thing to say..."

Not bad. Interesting to see Octavia angry like that.

I dunno, I believe its more correct to leave the missing words and repeats in place. She is pretty blitzed as she is saying all of this. I know when I get to this point this is about how I sound.:pinkiehappy:

is it cannon Tavi only drinks scotch

Absolute gloriousness.

Have an incredibly frustrating GIF image:

4519560 I know what that lock sings all the time!

4519796 That is just glorious.

I can't believe I haven't seen that before.

4521345 I love the song and thought it fit you so well.:pinkiecrazy:

Also, you must think about this, Vinyl is the one saying that. She probably doesn't have good grammar. However, if it was Octavia who said it, then yeah, it would be said as, "How do you feel?"

There's a rule I follow when I write dialogue in a story: it doesn't have to be correct in grammar, just correct in character.

4531306 I find good character more important than good grammar.

4532179
Oh, totally!:pinkiehappy:

Besides, I live with my parents, who say things like "They was." Be glad I can get do this much!

Wow..uh...Octavia? The guy kinda deserved it, but you may have unloaded on the crowd a teeny, tiny bit much. :rainbowwild:

4531306

True, and that's a good rule of thumb.
