Noble Thought


I sometimes pretend I have a posting schedule other than "sometime soon."

Sequels1

T

Apple Bloom, still being a filly, is looked after closely by her big brother, Big Mac. Applejack starts *bleep*ing up a storm in the Apple Orchard after somepony has stamped all of the apples in one of the largest orchards with REJECTED.

Can Big Mac protect his little sister's ears from the storm of foul bucks coming from Applejack? Can he even tell which ones are curses and which ones aren't? Can he keep *bleep*ing, or will he have to find other ways to censor his sister?

Rated teen for gratuitous use of the word "*bleep*."

Thanks to ZodiacSpear for the inspiration!

Discord at his finest :rainbowlaugh:

:rainbowwild: I can *bleep*ing do whatever I want!
:twilightangry2: Give me that *bleep*ing box!

4191835

I don't believe I've seen that one. But I have added it to my youtube watch list.

:derpytongue2:
Enhance your childhood.

I was actually hesitant about bringing him in... But about a third of the way through writing it, I realized that I didn't have a solid end in place, and no real escalation of the story. So... I interjected some seemingly random *bleeps* and then only gave them context at the end of the story. If you ask me, it was all a ploy by Discord to get Rainbow Dash to mend the bad feelings between them. Including Mayor Mare's snap. :twistnerd: But none of that is explicitly stated in the story, of course. Just subtext.

Mending friendships... in the only way Discord knows how.

What the *bleep did I just read?

4191989

:rainbowderp: *click* *bleep* :rainbowkiss: *clickclickclick*

That was *bleep*ing awesome!

4192257

Rainbow dash is just going crazy with that clicker. It would be hillarious to take it to a Trixie show. :trixieshiftleft:

4192261
"Come one, come all! Come and *bleep* the Great & Powerful Trixie! Wait, what?! Trixie said come and *bleep* her, not come and *bleep* her! Argh!"

4192295

Maybe that will be my next attempt. But which perspective to write from? Trixie is too obvious, and I'm not sure how to write her yet. I haven't done non-comedic arrogance before. I'm not sure how well I could pull it off. Suggestions?

4192295

I've got it! Rainbow Dash Starts a Riot will be the story title. And it will be exactly what it says on the tin. Rainbow Dash goes a little click crazy with the box and causes Ponyville to erupt into a riot when friends think they're cursing at each other. And one of the things Discord just put on the Mayor's desk is... "A request to install a language filter in the town."

I think I will do it as the next chapter in this one... since it's a direct linkage between the two events instead of a tenuous connection at best.

Ooh... Or maybe it's a Jumanji style cursed box and it just gets passed around, causing chaos throughout all of Equestria. And all without Discord having to lift another talon. Seems like his kind of chaos to me.

4192464
Perfect. Jumanji with ponies is a brilliant idea - I am so glad I was able to inspire a third story in this saga of hilarity. :pinkiehappy:

P.S. Perhaps have Trixie in a cameo? "I came back for a third time for this?This town is insane!" kind of thing.

4192518

Oh, Trixie will have a center stage role. It's her show that starts the riot. Lots of ponies together, talking to each other... Rainbow Dash with a *Bleep* box and a penchant for pranking... What could go wrong? Everything.

Actually... Trixie would be a perfect Viewpoint character if her stage show gets interrupted. Lots of opportunity for comedic dialogue. I need coffee first though, then to sit down with my labor of love - The Mare in the Moon and Silver Spoon - and then I'll start outlining it, if not just get it out all in one sit.

4192536
Hell yes!
I am so glad I followed you mate. :twilightsmile:

...... are they *bleeping* random words?

4192895

Specifically the word "Buck!" Because... well... of this thread (Pet Peeves in Fanfiction)

ZodiacSpear, the person I tagged as being the inspiration for the story, mentioned that he hated it when people used "Buck!" instead of... Um... *bleep* :rainbowhuh:

So. I wrote this in response.

Discord is just being Discord.

4193038
What have I started? :twilightoops:

Everypony comes in here *bleep*ing their heads off.

I kid, of course. *Bleep* all you want!

Too many *bleep*s. Wait, what? I meant to say there are to many *bleep*s. DAMMIT DISCORD AND RAINBOW! :flutterrage:

I *beep* my *beep* to you, beep box!

Uh...:twilightsheepish:

4193456
4193387

Oh no! The bleep box got out! Hide your *bleep*s!

Holy crap this became popular quickly

4193978

Believe me... I'm as surprised as you. It was just a creative writing exercise I did this morning. I had no idea it would be this popular. :twilightsheepish: I suppose maybe I'm... good at writing comedy? :derpyderp2:

4193988 I don't think your good at it. I think your ASWMAZING at it.:pinkiehappy:

You know, I had a funny thought roll through my head just now:

"*Bleep* Luna to the mooooon!" :trollestia:

:rainbowlaugh:

Good comedy comes from one of two things.

It can come from the subtle interplay of complex, well-rounded characters, all with their own quirks and mannerisms that rub together to create funny situations...

...or it can come from a simple, stupid, yet hilarious gimmick.

This story is a wonderful example of the latter. The Mayor Mare story had me chuckling most of the way; this one had me laughing out loud. Very original idea, competent writing, clever resolution, and you don't try to drag the story out any longer than the gimmick can support it. Have some more moustaches.

:moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache::moustache:

4197605

Once again, thank you for the review! It just didn't feel like the story flowed right without the buildup and the single, unexplained, bleep in the first scene, leaving a sleeper joke. Like I said in an earlier comment, I was about 1/3 of the way through writing this when I realized that there was no proper buildup... it was just ths same gimmick. So I scrapped it and rewrote it like this.

I actually am planning on there being a sequel, but I think I've played out the gimmick for the most part. I'm going to focus on the characters and how they respond to the temptation of The Bleep Box. It will go on its own epic journey, but the gimmick will be background. The foreground will be how each character uses the gimmick in a different way - hopefully suited to their personality.I'm not quite sure yet how it will play out. Or, honestly, if it will play out. I don't want to release a cruddy comedy just because this one is popular. It might just be a one-shot and that's it. And that's okay.

4197709 Sounds cool. Looking forward!

Is it weird that I replaced every bleep with the word fuck? :rainbowderp:

4199537

Probably not. The whole point of the story was to lampshade the overuse of the word "Buck" as a replacement curse word by the fandom instead of the action that it is. In the most hilarious way I could think of.

Edit: I'm actually kidding... I had no idea it would attract this much positive attention. Edit to the edit: I mean to say that I had no idea people would apparently find it so hillarious.

How in the hay is this still getting so much attention? It hasn't even been featured!

Not that I'm complaining, of course. I'm actually very :pinkiehappy: that it's still getting attention. It means I did something right with this story. It just amazes me that a simple little writing exercise based off a joke got to be so dang popular... and not even get into the feature box doing it. She is a fickle mistress, that box. Oh well. Maybe some day. :twilightsmile:

Edit: I wonder if it might be because I have two stories in the popular box at the same time...

All I need to say is that I *Bleep*ing loved it!!

I liked this story. A lot. I love people who do plays with swearing like this.

Or you can be me, and write a novel that is extremely high up on the list of swearing-per-word count on a serious story.

Keep on writing~

4199537 No. It's called you've read my stories. :rainbowlaugh:

Ohhh, I *bleep*ing love this story! :rainbowlaugh:

I want a *bleep*-ing button now. Maybe there's an app for that :trixieshiftright:

4204410 Yes! Keep on fucking writing.

Oh yeah, I'll swear. I'll do it! :flutterrage:

4204531
I'm going to try my hoof at romance next. This and Mayor Mare were actually my first published forays into comedy. I'm trying to find my voice, I guess. But I have to do it my way.

So... Sometime soon! 20ish year old Twist x 20ish year old Spike. I've got the whole plot outlined and everything!... Partly because I've never seen a Twist x Spike... and I want to see Twist happy. She's such a sweet filly.

Edit: Also: Boop! That avatar nose is too cute not to boop.

4204549 Write what you love, or what challenges you. I love turning our ponies into horrible, horrible vulgar satires of themselves. I just want you to keep on writing and enjoy the art and the satisfaction it brings at making others laugh.

My ex is a damn good artist. I RPed Rainbow a lot, hence, art just for. Kekekek.

Rainbow is adorable though. :rainbowwild:

This is too much of the good stuff! ow my stomach :rainbowlaugh:

A wild downvote appears.

Laugh | Giggle
Derp | Boop

Noble Thought used Boop.
It's super effective.

Oh my *Bleep*-ing *bleep*! :rainbowlaugh:
