Well, dual rank up for the Apple sisters. Yeah, what they're going through sucks. As does Flash not knowing if he'd care if it was one of his parents dying.
You know, part of me wonders if Applejack will go directly to her Rainbow Persona, given what her S.Link status is. (Can she advance four more ranks before her birthday?) Probably not, but I doubt she'll have her basic Persona long before moving on.
6144973 Same thing entered my mind about Applejack. Guess we will just have to wait and see.
Well, this is giving me flashbacks to my paternal grandfather. Throat cancer, a great irony since talking and eating were two of his greatest joys. That last time I saw him in the hospital, surrounded by machines, barely able to make a sound...
Sorry. Suffice to say, very emotionally resonant scene. Well done in that regard.
6145006 I'd say something about the last time I saw my great-grandmother, who raised me after my mom died and who passed away from cancer in 2000, but I don't want to think about that right now. Suffice to say it was one of the most painful days of my life.
Oh yeah, just checked the LTE version. The Aeon S.Link continues, and it is unsurprising that Diamond Tiara is into blackmail. The interaction between Flash and Silver Spoon comes off as similar to that between him and Fluttershy.
Dammit. Do I hate to be late to a party...
Anyway. This chapter was a nice one. These are some pretty heavy feels, which a lot of people seem to sympathize with. I also lost a parent, recently so; It was the worst day of my life. The only consolation I have is that it was sudden, whithout warning, so I didn't have to watch her waste away... though, I can't tell if that would have been better.
On another note, I simply love that AJ's and AB's S.Links are head to head in the rankings. Shows just how close they are with one another.
Probably what?
6145194 It's a rendition of "eat" in her accent.
Man, if Applejack is the next victim of Zodiac (and at this point I'm sure that she is) then she's probably going to have to not only bury her father but also damn near get killed by the Hunter Shadow.
How's that for a happy birthday, eh?
6145202
Oh... God f***ing dammit.
Hey, every author that does this, how would you feel if I butchered a northern-American accent the same way?
"Eye'd bet-ur oh-pun thuh d'ohr."
Or a British accent.
"Thaht's roight, ye shud oh-pin tha doh."
Yeah, now you know how it feels.
Also, Applejack might not be the brightest bulb, but I think she'd have a better grasp of the English language than "it probably eat up a good chunk of".
6145231 Coming straight from Texas, yes, we say et. Have ya et yet? That is basic accent. Just ask your friendly neighborhood southerner.
6145231 In many Southern dialects, it's common to say "et up with ___" in a context such as this; also, "et" is past tense (ate or eaten).
I'm sorry if it offends you that I choose to render Applejack's accent the way I do...actually, no, I'm not sorry at all. If it offends you, that's YOUR problem. I'm an actual Southerner, I know how country folk talk, and my written version of Applejack's accent is the most authentic you're ever going to find on this or any other website.
No matter what anyone tells you, it's not a sin for a writer to transliterate an accent in dialogue. As long as you know what you're doing when you do so. And I do.
6145258 Exactly. And in other contexts too; for example, my great-grandmother always complained of being "et up with arthritis", and if you had cancer, you were et up with that too.
6145285 Man I shore am all et up with yore attitude there young un.
6145029 I know the feeling. Both of my grandmothers had lingering deaths.
6145273
Ah, yes, your being from the south totally removes the annoying factor from the accent. Carry on, then, I guess if you're from the south, that means I'm not allowed to be annoyed with it.
6145356 You're allowed to be annoyed with it, and I'm allowed to be annoyed by your bitching about it. See how it all works out?
this chapter made me think of my grandfather who passed away when I was still in kindergarten, I don't remember what he died of
I miss him so much
6145117
A very appropriate RWBY quote (white trailer's opening quote if I remember right).
6145207
seconded
I just have the feeling that either on or after 4/22 the apple family might have some somber arrangements to make.
I think the circumstances that will be involved in AJ getting her persona might be a real tearjerker .
6145470
Lol, I didn't expect anyone to catch that reference. Have a like
6145494 Damn... I wish I could hug Applejack and Applebloom right now.
6145494
Well I did just get both seasons on bluray a couple of weeks ago (the voice volume in series one could have been better).
6145554
And you replied to me to say that because...?
6145627
Common misconception. RWBY still hasn't gotten to its Second Season. The two DVDs of the series correspond to Volumes.
6145231
...You've read this far into this story, and you're only now noticing the accent was written that way?
I'm not crying, my eyes are just sweating.
Again on this chapter, something on the LTE version that just went over my head after reading the "Evening Event":
S.Links can be ranked up through text messages? Sort of ironic, don't you think? Seeing how nowadays the use of cellphones is making people anti-social in the old sense of the word.
6145231 Okay, your butchering of a Boston accent actually made me want to weigh on this argument. I had to read the "British" attempt (more of a cockney accent honestly) to realize what you put down for the Boston accent. Also, deep southerners who actively live on farms or ranches do talk like that, especially if it's a family generationally owned set up, and they don't get more than an hour or two of exposure to a more northern dialect that is commonly used. Sort of like Applejack and Applebloom have experienced for most of their lives. All of this actually connects back to the original language of the U.S., a little thing called Middle English. The same language used by The Bard, William Shakespeare. The southern dialect is the closest to the way he wrote such classics as Macbeth, and Romeo and Juliet. So, next time you want to complain about some one butchering written English, go yell his grave because he did it most famously.
6145706 Sorry. Didn't mean to do that.
6147172
Don't worry, I was simply pointing out how your comment didn't seem to fit with the rest of the conversation.
I kinda wonder, what is the final date for the story. I mean, how far until the final battle with Sunset Shimmer?
Of course, she may not be the FINAL Boss. There is always someone bigger, someone huge, at the end. An END GAME.
6148160 You'll find out the answers to all of the above...at the same time as everyone else. When we get there.
6148160
rough estimate... try 8/22/16 a year from the start of the story in universe.
6149744
I honestly doubt that the endgame will happen in exactly one year from the moment the story started. Someday before that is most likely.
6149815
if I remember rightly P4's total story encompassed nearly 1 year from its start.
and the battle with Izanami literally happened on the last day.
and there's this:
So 8/22/16 is at least a good starting estimate on when Persona EG will take its final curtain call.
6150027
Yes, but there's no telling if that'd be the day when the End Game happens. It'll be the day the story ends, sure; but that could be after the final boss.
EDIT: Removed a paragraph with a rather cruel remark towards Amam0t0. Sorry about that.
I also wonder how long until the next chapter. It's probably gonna be a whopper and so the wait is worth it.
6150311
Staggered update schedule, ever since Friday. It skipped Saturday, it will skip today Monday and next Wednesday and so on. Moth is doing it so that Zef can catch up with work on the artwork for the story.
6150054
Could've made your point without that part, dude.
6150311 As I mentioned in a tagged blog post, Persona EG is now on a staggered update schedule until around the end of July for reasons. There was a chapter yesterday, so there'll be a chapter tomorrow. Then Thursday. Then Saturday. And so forth and so on.
6150054 Hmm, well it's a good bet that Applejack is Taurus' target. After that we have Gemini, Cancer and Leo. I'm guessing either Applebloom or Sweetie Belle will be attacked. From a literary perspective, why would they get access to canterbook, unless they would be targeted at some point? I know both of their birthdays were mentioned and one of them was safe, but I can't remember which one it was. Another potential target is Shining Armor, considering he's close to Cadance and other ZIT members. I'm guessing he'll start investigating into Sunset's personal life and be targeted because of it. I doubt he'll get his own Persona though.
As for Leo, I'm guessing Sunset somehow managed to tame him. That would explain how she can seemingly summon lion shadows on command, and why Leo didn't appear during the previous year. I'm just going to guess that the true mastermind will reveal himself on Sunset's birthday and Leo will turn against her.
6152744
Your comment is a freaking landmine field, y'know? It'd be safer if you put up a sign for people that would like to avoid the spoilers, don't you think?
6152744 Please look in the A/N for chapter one and read the spoiler rules for this story. I deleted your comment because you didn't tag your spoilers correctly.
6145273
Not to sound like a dick or anything, because I have a feeling the way I'm about this is going to sound a bit like that, but this statement isn't completely true. Most people don't realize it, but there are many dialects that are covered in the "southern accent," so "et up" isn't necessarily something AJ would say. I'm from southern Louisiana, but I speak differently than someone from Texas like yourself. Hell, people from northern Louisiana and Mississippi speak differently from me and each other. That being said, it's up to debate, but most people would probably agree that AJ's accent in particular would be more similar to a Georgian accent, and "et up" is more of a Texan phrase. On the other hand, some of her speech patterns do hint to Texan, such as countryisms and a few of her common phrases, so you could be correct, but whether it is the most accurate depiction of her voice is debatable.
While I'm here, I wanted to mention something from another chapter (I wasn't reading at the time it was published, so I might as well tack it on here). In the chapter with Button Mash, when someone asked if he had Asperger's, you said it was more like high functioning autism. I don't know if you knew this or not, but Asperger's is a form of high functioning autism, just with specific symptoms that warrant a specification. And no, Button doesn't exhibit those symptoms, but I felt the need to explain it since I have Asperger's.
Dude. I saw Juan's picture on EG LTE today... I have to say... He looked really ugly. I'm sorry if I am being mean
Dang... I never expected the latter two to be complete opposites.
I’m really impressed on how you’ve handled the Apple sisters. just like a lot of the other characters, I’m also seeing them in a new light. Good job so far.
