feeling of accomplishment
I agree. For example, Harry Potter. What is the genre of the first Harry Potter story, slice-of-life or adventure? The story happens almost entirely slice-of-life in an academy that happens to have magic... but the climax is 100% adventure, and the premise is very adventurey too.
Maud: Do you prefer working smarter or working harder?

Maud: I am a career geologist that works in the field. Is there a difference?

Why did I think her answer was going to be 'Yes'?
Wait what? Is there some kind of tag lock?
Also, story still really good and damn interesting.
Well, meeting the parents seems to be going well. And meeting the siblings, for that matter. Tarnish has definitely found somewhere to hang his hat while he figures out his life.
Also:
Were.
Yep. Very.
I wonder that too, its really dumb that you can't put both in the same story Dx I call for a riot! *rips pants off and burns them*
Pants off everybody!
Nice chapter well done well done.
But is it an adventure to the normal pony who doesn't do this sort of thing on a "Day-to-Day" schedule, or is it a "Slice-of-Life" to an adventurous pony who does this sort of thing so often that it has become blasé to them.
I think Adventure & Slice of Life are based entirely on the perspective of who's experiencing the story, but that's the beauty of genre's, they can mean so much to different people, and the invisible pigeon-holing committee that decides where each story goes either doesn't get that, or beats themselves up each day trying to figure what each story is.

Indeed. While few are as tough as Maud Pie, nor is the real wilderness as bad as the wild parts of Equestria, field geologists are tough people who walk hard trails and do exhausting work to get their samples. Indeed, following Maud around might be as tough as the courier work -- but probably safer, because he has an experienced field mare watching his flank, and warning him from wandering into the really bad places.
You cant put those tags together?
That's the thing, Daring Do's life is the adventure, so while diving into tombs and uncovering massive discoveries might seem like a massive adventure to us, it's still 'Slice of Life' for Daring.
Adventure stories are defined by instance of the main character being taken out of his every day life and placed into more and more strange situations from which he may learn very important lessons.
Slice of Life stories are when the character is fine, and everything is per usual in the day. While something interesting may happen, the character is still almost no different from when he started off at the beginning.
This is most definitely not a Slice of Life fic, Tarnish is so far out of his daily life that anything that he does here, even the most boring and rudimentary things, would still be an adventure.
This is 100% an adventure story.
I love old people like Igneus is in this story. They're so easy to refute XD "you know what young people need to do more of these days? Near kill themselves! They go around gettin their high education and never bother to go work in the mines or near hungry bears. Young people need to go and near kill themselves more!"
Just realised I'm humming through these chapters & have barely made a comment, must be really loving this story too much.
tarnished cutie mark, the poison joke, can have a few meaning so far
surviving where nothing else can hope to
unpredictablity and cleverness
not giveing up and pushing past normal limits
disastet waiting to happen(currently set meaning in the eyes of tarnished)
anyothers im missing?
The comments about Igneous not liking Trixie are slightly ironic given what happens in Princess Twilight's School for Fantastic Foals. Although given Trixie's character development he likely changed his mind.
Well I can see why Trixie was so worried about meeting up with Igneous in TSSfFF and why it was such a big deal for her that he apologized to her. Maybe they meet again though while Trixie is still "bad". I guess I'll have to keep reading and find out!
This may sound dumb but for some reason I want to read the "Aesop's fables told through Igneous Rock" story ...
i dont think it has updated in a while and i miss it.
a bit strange to read this story after, twilights school, romance and chapter hopping gestation
I know I'm years late to this but still.
Did I somehow miss a chapter or something?
Every character in this story is calling Tarnished Teapot stupid and acting like he is a bad person for being tricked into using drugs? How the hell was he supposed to know that those drugs were bad? He didn't even know what they were when he got them! As for sleeping with the mare at the bar while he was drugged.... HE WAS DRUGGED!
And when is Twilight going to do something useful? So far she is coming off as a reprehensible cunt who only cares about making her own life easier. Seriously, she banished him from his home and family, no money and, obviously uneducated. It was basically a death sentence without having to get her own hooves bloody, he only lived by chance.
And if anyone wants to say I'm wrong about it basically being a death sentence go reread the first chapter, he almost dies on his first day banished.
I hope at some point Twilight is going to do something big to make up for doing this to him, because so far the only thing she has done is tell him that someday his magic that got him banished will likely result in him having to die to save the very ponies that kicked him to the curb.
Just for a full recount as a refresher to this point in the story, He was nearly eaten, then raped by the animal that was going to eat him, he nearly died from exposure to the elements and lack of even having a canteen, the only job he could get was one that forced him into extreme danger, then he was drugged and raped again, then had his leg broken and was hung only to be saved by chance... all this is on Twilight for banishing him instead of helping him. And yes I get that all this is 'his fault' because of his magic... just like its a schizophrenia suffers fault they can't separate reality from their own delusions.
I'm going to keep going because I enjoyed Trixie Lulamoon and the Horrendous Hypothesis

There is a reason for Twilight's behaviour. Keep going.
