Very cute with Amber and Rifin, even if the trope if 'youngster who knows more than adults' is kinda overplayed, in this case it's just one adult so it gets a pass in my 'oh so prestigious' book.
This is told, not shown. How is it a symbol? What's the doll look like? What does it mean to him?
5737003 I thought I made that pretty clear. Huh, maybe I need to be more specific. It reminds him that a little girl can be o.k. with him and if she can, then anybody can.
Very nice chapter, though very expected, seeing as the most likely ways for him to be initiated is with super daww friendly figure, hate crime victimization or him saving them from something(the terrible Mary Sue/Gary Stu intro most of the time). Very well done though. I liked it.
5737407 The 'saving the day' aspect isn't always Gary Stu/Mary Sue stuff. Sometimes it's done well with the hero only barely scraping by on the skin of their teeth. I prefer those. I've always been a fan of the cavalry riding in to save the day.
Mysterious dark trailing shadow is mysterious.
Very cautios Changeling? Or psychos with delusions of grandeur by destruction?
If Rifin needs Canvas, or tarpaulin, maybe get him, a marquee?
That shadow is very ominous.
Very good chapter though.
I wonder what ever happened with the telegraph project.
I keep thinking they are going to paint Rifin in bright colors and make him into a mobile playground for the children, don't ask me why I think that but to me it sounds like a pretty good idea since it might make the townfolk more at ease with him since he doesn't look like a menacing creature of monstrosity (as long as they dull the sharp parts)
I can imagine the human's reaction when Rifin comes into town.
"Ever get the feeling that we're the least weird things that live here?"
"All the time man, all the time."
5739641 ROFTLOL!
If I might be so bold as to foreshadow?
Evil mage guild in the area, hunting for test subjects. Young filly befriends huge, overprotective changeling that just happens to live outside of town.
Hostage situation goes horribly wrong . . . for the terrorists.
Delete if I'm getting warm.
Found one of your errors
I believe you forgot the other 'e' in here
5740229 Fixed, thanks!
5737549 I'm well aware and it can be done right but I said I didn't say all of them. Just a lot, well, most if I'm being pessimistic.
5740607 I don't blame you brother. I would also say that most are poorly done.
5739354 Yes, the sentiment IS there, but he expresses that he will not treat anybody differently for it. I think it's a healthy point of view for somebody who doesn't agree with the lifestyle. For ME, I have friends who are both gay and lesbian and I don't treat them any differently at all. Also, he wasn't speaking as an official, just as himself to Razor and Oriana.
5742411 I don't think you grasp the kind of insult calling someone unnatural is. If I was there and I got wind that our ambassador called me and people like me "Unnatural" I'd lose all faith in him. I'd start asking why he's the ambassador. He clearly doesn't have everyone's best interest at heart if he believes me and mine are unnatural! What's to stop him from using his clout with the Kavim against us? He could whip out any nasty stereotype he wanted and have the guard arrest us! They don't know any better, he's their only source of info! Who else does he disagree with? We should team up with them just in case. That sociology major has a plan? We should go talk to him.
They're already suffering from stability issues, and as the ambassador his words have a lot of impact. He needs to mind his own bias, otherwise it could provoke disaster.
5743547 Woah there bub! You're blowing this WAY out of proportion. Take a breath and tone down on the anger. You only seem to be focusing on the first part of his statement and ignoring the rest of it. He was expressing his opinion, BUT he also said, in a somewhat roundabout way, that he would be willing to stand up FOR people who were gay because he respected their rights to live however they felt best. He showed that he KNOWS he doesn't have the right to force somebody to live a certain way. He also said that he thought it was messed up that the Kavim had a history of socially shunning stallions who were that way.
Furthermore where do you get off making accusations like this:
So just because he doesn't agree with same sex relationships, that automatically has to mean that he's out to get them? He doesn't have everyone's best interest at heart even though he openly stated that he was opposed to the way that gay stallions were treated? And saying that he would intentionally try to have the Guard arrest gays!? Are you kidding me!? I do believe that in the first story I specified that there were several gay guys living in New Humansville. The Ponies have seen it, first of all, which means they have been exposed to the fact that the lifestyle isn't what they thought, and secondly, not a single Human has treated them any differently or I would have written about it. Also, when has Artex abused his influence in order to do anybody intentional harm? When has he acted in a hateful manner toward gays? Name once, I dare you. Just because he doesn't agree with the lifestyle DOES NOT mean that he is against gays in any way, shape, or form.
So what, just because you aren't a heterosexual, that automatically meant that you HATE everybody who is? I ask because that is exactly what you are insinuating here and it is not true. I strongly suggest you stop being offended by something that was NEVER meant to be offensive in the first place and stop trying to villainize somebody for disagreeing, but still SUPPORTING, what he disagrees with.
Artex is NOT anit-gay, he never was and he would never, NEVER do something to persecute somebody who was.
5743604 I'm not offended by it. It also isn't about homosexuality, so much as it is any minority that could end up persecuted. My post was not meant as an accusation, I wrote it as an example of the kind of thought process a scared person might go through if they heard that kind of statement. The readers (myself included) know he would never actually use any of his influence to do that sort of thing, but the other characters don't. Gossip and rumours have a horrible way of distorting words, and regardless of whatever logic or reasoning you throw at them, scared people will do stupid shit.
5743705 It sounded like an accusation, but I believe you. It just galls me to no end when somebody accuses Artex (and by indirect extension me) of being bigoted against anybody except bigots (bit of an oxymoron there I'm afraid). It has happened before and I did and will bite back if bitten. In light of your explanation, I can see how what Artex said could be misinterpreted and I definitely agree that scared people do dumb shit. Thank you for clarifying that for me. I feel much better now.

Thanks guys, I'll fix them as soon as I am able.
To the typos:
STRIP THE FLESH!!! SALT THE WOUNDS!!!
(If you get that reference, you win an Internet.)
5747023 Krieg the Psycho from Borderlands 2.
5747059 ...Half right. Any normal, axe-weilding Psycho from Borderlands One will generally say that to alert you to his presence. There are other phrases, but that is the most common. Kreig saying that is actually a reference to the first Borderlands. Also, as added trivia, Burning Psychos from the first game say, "Time to pound... SOME MEAT PUPPETS!" Another phrase from the normal Psycho is, "MEAT! More meat for me!" Another is, "Now it's time to play! TIME TO PLAY!!!"
So... A cookie?
5747088 Chocolate chip please!
5747134 Did you learn things?
5747310 Yep! Psychos can be hilarious!
5747586 They really are. In the first game, they are bugged, too. Leave an area (Like through through those signpost things), come back, and they will still be standing. Shoot, and they make a pained noise, but they don't move. Perfect for Farming.
5737029 It is pretty clear to those observant.
Two new chapters ready, just waiting for my awesome editor to finish fixing my f☆€£ups. (There are probably a ton of them this time)
I think a little filly just got a Big Daddy.

5774297 oh I hope something happens top her to make him mad and save her that would be so awesome. (then they would have to love him)

The chapter title shouldn't have an apostrophe in it.
Oh. My. Gosh.
Sometimes, the things children do...
And now I have this adorable image in my head. It's stuck against the inside of my eyelids and it's your fault.
FAN ART NOW, I DEMAND IT

Agreed
evil typos but I will still give one big daawww to my new favorite changeling! DAAAWWWW!!!!!!!!!
When Rifin comes to town, the humans are going to have to ask the question “just WHAT is it that Changelings have to fight that requires something like THAT!?”
My heart can't take this much 'daaaaaaaw'...... leave it to an adorable filly to do what the adults refuse to do haha
