We’ve got dents and we’ve got quirks, but it’s our flaws that make us work.

Teleology—the explanation of phenomena by the purpose they serve rather than by postulated causes.

Roger Schwartz is a newcomer to Equestria. The only issue with that is that everything in Equestria has a reason for existing. A purpose.

What is Roger's purpose?

And here we see the rare instance where the anthro tag comes into play, but the story isn't mature.

Oh yeah, and it stars Cloudchaser. That immediately makes it awesome.

I find the Pegasi twins' personalities interesting. Don't see many fics where the girls act rudely yet are still friendly with others.

5701741 Well, practice makes perfect, as they say.

My first stories on the site weren't anything to write home about(although my mother would tell me otherwise[on a side note, never trust your mother to preread your stories]).


5701702

How so, if I may ask?

5701749 For one, you used the twins, second you made him calm, not to mention the twins are taking this pretty calm as well. A bit rare in HiE.

Well thank you! :twilightsmile: May I ask which story of mine you read? And I hope you enjoy Maj's story here! It's going to be a fun ride. :)

5701965 It was Tangled Roots I think that was the first of the story line.
It got me into reading fanfic and reading... period. And that's a big thing for me for having dyslexia.
I used to hate to read because of school and all the "good" stuff that came from it.
So I would like to thank you for showing me all the bad ass story I was missing out.
I'm still bad at reading and I use google translate a LOT but I still try.:twilightsmile:

5702193

You're welcome! I'm honored that my story got you into reading. :twilightsmile: I hope you enjoy some of my other stories, and Majin's as well! He has a lot of great ones. :raritywink:

Because I don’t know where you live.”

“Well, give me a map, I’m sure I can find it

Because these odd creatures are obviously just Canadians. Looking at a map will tell you exactly where you are.

So Majin Syeekoh how would I practice writing?
Because I would like to try it but I have no idea how to start.:twistnerd:
( don't know why it took me so long to ask because I was sitting here jumping from youtube video to video trying to procrastinate from reason. :applejackunsure: )

5703447 ...just open up a document and write.

5703450 aww man i was hoping you would tell me some secrets that would blow my mind:applecry:

Well... off to an interesting start to say the least. Calmness abounds, which is strange, yet very intriguing.

It also has my favorite twins, that helps.

Have a Like and Favorite from an old blessed man.

Edit: I am Like number 13. Now I know that is confusing, but I had liked this before I had read it by mistake. But, it proved more than worthy of my Like.

5707687 Thank you.

I appreciate it.:twilightsmile:

I bet they do a lot of fucking because of desperation and how many times they use the word fuck

I like the sibling banter there - Well done.

Umm... after eating hay... shouldn't he have massive diarrhea or something?

Jesus fuck, what the hell is up with the gratuitous cussing and everyone being a creep? Tone that shit down, will ya?

5711411 Maybe not Equestrian hay. For all we know so far, it could be as healthy as quinoa while still tasting like hay.

not bad so far. will fallow for now

5711411 Probably not. Once you've messed with hay enough to turn it into a reasonable facsimile of a burger it's pretty much pre-digested for your convenience.

...you can ask your location and go from there...

I see Discord did our buddy here a favor in the long run.

Really? Muzzles and adorable things are turn offs for you? Deal breakers, whatever.
magic could solve the smell issue.

I don't get it. Whatever, may be slightly close-mminded.

5805837 Well, I like to think of it as sort of an uncanny valley effect. As in, they look kind of like humans except fir this thing that throws the whole thing off. As in, they don't look like adorable ponies, they look like weird humans.

5805843
to me they don't.
And if they didn't, well I wouldn't really care, they still look like that, they still have those things, so meh.
Although maybe it's just me being very open-minded.

5805849 Perhaps so.

We've been desensitized to anthro ponies for a while now, though. I would imagine someone who hasn't been inundated in pictures of anthropomorphic ponies would have a slightly different reaction.

5805857
you know, the first time I saw anthro ponies, I was fine with it.

I'm very wierd.

Hmm. The first chapter had me skeptical. After all, how out of touch do you have to be think there's anywhere in the world populated by anthropomorphic horses? This nicely settled that question. The power of denial is truly a wondrous thing.

In any case, you definitely seem to have put some thought into the biology of the situation, which I quite like. It does have me wondering how ponies developed hands, especially when their legs still end in single, enormous toes. (Of course, I might as well ask how a mammal developed feathers...)

Also, I'm not sure if that "Of course you didn’t. You’re male." says more about Twilight, Roger, or stallions and men in general.

You have me intrigued. I look forward to more.

I looked back at Cloudchaser. “... Really? I didn’t notice.” I grinned, my face heating up yet again.
“Of course you didn’t. You’re male.” Twilight jotted down something on a piece of paper.

STEREOTYPE GO!

Hey, evolution is weird sometimes. It turned dinosaurs into birds, gave a lizard the ability to shoot blood out of its eyes, gave one type of worm twin slime cannons, a fish that grows a fishing lure out of its forehead, and made a mammal that lays eggs. Equines getting hands and feathers isn't that far fetched compared to some of the other stuff evolution does.

It turned dinosaurs into birds, gave a lizard the ability to shoot blood out of its eyes, gave one type of worm twin slime cannons, a fish that grows a fishing lure out of its forehead, and made a mammal that lays eggs.

And it spawned a three-way blend of a bear, a pig and a gorilla with the ability to warp the world to its will. Don't forget that one.

Now it gets very good very quickly.:rainbowlaugh:

This is too hilarious to not have a Comedy tag. :rainbowlaugh:

Also, will Mr Roger be having a romantic interest in this story? It seems to have that "I'll never fall in love" feel to it. It would be ironic if Cloudchaser actually started liking him, considering how different the two of them are. It would even work reversed.

Though, I could be the only reader of this story that has a love for romantic sub-plots.

I liked the chapter.

Funniest chapter yet.

Oh dear Luna I'm so looking forward to the next chapter.:rainbowlaugh:

Oh. Well, that certainly explains the lack of culture shock. Of course, now Roger has to walk around smelling of ape urine; that's not going to earn him many friends. (I'm split on Discord being unable to offer laundering services. On the one hand, cleaning things isn't exactly a priority of his magic. On the other, this seems like the exact sort of thing he'd find hilarious.)

That said, Twilight seems a little... off. She's used sarcasm often enough to be able to recognize it. I suppose she could just be distracted by this new, exciting friendship problem, but given that apparent inconsistencies have deeper reasons in this story, I'm not sure if that's the case.

5946785 Yes, this is the exact sort of thing Discord would find hilarious.:ajsmug:

And Twilight's been up all night. Cut her some slack.:unsuresweetie:

This is different, and moving rather fast too, but its fitting the theme of your writing that it can be overlooked.

Lets see where this all goes.

God damn it, if you don't make another chapter now... I'm putting this into the RFS for now until you make another chapter.
