A Warning to Others

I love the way that you write Rarity. Her kinks, and her mannerisms, and her quirks absolutely made this story for me.

10/10!

P.s. Who does your art? It's fantastic.

Bravo! Not a dry seat in the house! :raritywink:

This needs more views. It's really great.

Sexy and sweet! :raritywink:

The weed smoking scene seems... weird.

6966762 It's just the idea of them smoking weed. Applejack seems like the least likely of the Mane 6 to even smoke it.

6968076

Oh, good feedback! Sorry, Cerulean and I have talked about this but it hasn't made it into the stories. >.<

Just a sec, lemme try and add some stuff.

6968076

“She’s tryin’ to figure you out. Can’t blame her. All of us are, in our own way. We’re a pretty tight-knit group, what with all we’ve been through. And just between you, me, and the wallpaper, Rarity’s crazy about you.” She shifted around so that she could get at her saddlebags. “Mind if I light up?”

I blinked. I did! Smoking was a horrible habit! Good way to kill yourself! Unless she meant… “Um, okay, I gueth. You smoke?” Applejack! Of all ponies! I didn’t know what the law was in Ponyville — it was all over the place since Luna had gotten back. Jail time for possession in Trottingham, totally legal in Vanhoover. The rule in Canterlot was, it was safe to smoke at night, though sellers still had to be careful.

“We all gotta have somethin’,” she said, like she didn’t want to talk about it.

I watched as she pulled a joint and a lighter out of her saddlebag. She held the joint in her mouth, flicked the lighter, and inhaled as the far end of the joint turned red. “Want some?” she asked, holding the joint out to me. I nodded and took it.

The hot smoke filled my lungs. I held it for a while, then blew out. “Thankth.” I handed the joint back. I wasn’t a big stoner, but I had a couple of theatre pony friends who were, so I was hardly unfamiliar.

I don't want to dig into it too much, since it'd be more interesting to unpack in an AJ story, but does this help?

6968076

My reasoning is that the other Mane 6 have outlets -- Pinkie strikes me as totally straight edge; just being Pinkie is enough. RD flies, Rarity is intimate with her muse, Twi has her magic. I can see Flutershy smoking (like she does here) until her mental health professionals put on some meds that interact poorly with it (plot bunny!), especially since she hangs out with Tree Hugger. What had AJ got? She lost her parents at an early age, and she must be pretty much running that farm. Granny's old enough that she probably needs considerable taking care of. She's had to raise Apple Bloom pretty much as a mother. Mac is there, but he doesn't seem like the take charge type, so it's at best 50/50. Mad stress! And yet she's so laid back!

And AJ doesn't seem like a drunk to me. :ajsmug: And I'm not having anybody do hard drugs -- too dark, even for me. And... you know. She's a farmer. She grows things.

*deep breath* But, it's hard to get all that in a story without getting all info dumpy, especially since it's from Frazzle's POV and she doesn't know AJ beyond what she reads in the papers.

6968467 Okay, it makes a bit more sense, now.

I've enjoyed this from the get go, but I thought this chapter was especially good. I had a hunch that Rarity was going for one of those, late 80's, Carrie-Esq, high school teen drama, 'Lipstick on a Pig' things with Frazzle, but there was a lot of adorable, and real feeling affection from her this chapter. I like that it's from Frazzle's perspective, and that she's both a bit of a fish out of water, and that she's doubtful about herself, and the things that are developing around her.

Also, I like Applejack as a stoner. I can see it; she's got a lot on her haunches, and it's not like Big Mac has a lot of time to help out between getting caught in sexy and awkward love-squares all the time.

Lookin' forwards to more, chief.

She pointed up at the poster over her desk — a chart of crypto-geological rock types with ‘I WANT TO BELIEVE’ printed on it in blocky sans-serif letters. “Try me.”

wow Maud's a neeeeeeeeeerd

P.S. PROBABLY NOT YOUR FAULT. YOU KNOW HOW SHE GETS. PLEASE WORK THIS OUT. RARITY MUCH LESS ANNOYING WHEN GETTING LAID REGULARLY.

Rainbow's bluntness and honesty are admirable. No wonder she is such good friends with the element of Honesty.

He was one of the big white unicorn stallions you see all over the place in Canterlot, an eternal genetic reminder of Celestia’s reckless youth and prodigious, if long-neglected, foal-bearing capacity.

ordered Sassy another short of her ridiculously. Minor mistake

6996176

She's a bro. Her element is the element of bro-ness.

What I really like is that you have to pay for telegrams by the word, and she still put her full rank in there. :twilightoops:

6993406

I can imagine an interpretation of Rarity that would be that awful, but mine isn't. :raritywink:

Frazzle will have no beautiful-all-along moment. Frazzle is unspeakably hot exactly the way she is, is my feeling. :yay:

6997964

Ehh, Frazzle is definitely adorable in this, true, but she's no 1980's Sissy Spacek. Then, again, frizzy hair, being frumpy, socially anxious and nerdy were totally hot back then. Frazzle's totally channeling that Molly Ringwald look.

7002351

Also, I totally don't identify with Fraz, so I'm not biased at all. :trollestia:

Say "no" to math, kids.

Interesting approach. I like it.

Oh, man. Oh, man. That was heavy. This is emotionally affecting stuff. Wanting to change the past, to save her dad, then the guilt she feels over the change she did make and the pain she never wanted to cause . . . geez, this was good. I need to go listen to a bunch of really somber music.

That was fun, thanks. Minor typo: it's 'mete' not 'meet'

7101668

We're into the third act now; gonna be a lot of feels. Feels everywhere.

7104440 I look forawrd to feeling in a few months.

Dammit Rarity...what have you done?!

You get what you wish for Rarity, Someone really needs to call her out on that.

Pinkie Pie, we need to talk. :trollestia:

wait a minute ponies Eat prairie oysters?! is that legal?!

8092098

What? So confused.

cmd-f

Oh! It means the drink, in this context. Past me could have been clearer about that, but at this point I'm finding it easier to write other Frazities than to finish this one.

8092127
Thank you for clearing that up, I've never heard of the cocktail before and as you can understand, I was very dismayed and confused. looking forward to more Frazities ,she's a great OC and lends herself well to a lot of stories.

8099975

She's not an OC, actually!

Okay, she's a background pony who's in two episodes and has ten seconds of dialogue, so she might as well be an OC. But she's technically canon!

She's from Princess Spike. That's why nopony remembers her.

so... is this still going? When is it going to pick back up? I've really been liking it!

8161921

IDK. I didn't prep for it enough, and I royally fucked up Fraz and Rarity's character arcs. So I don't know? I'd need to re-read it to know if I can finish it, and even the thought makes me freak out a little. :facehoof:

This story is the reason I finish shit before I post it, now. It doesn't work (see the Twi selfcest one; I don't remember the name), but it works, like 99% of the time.

10385746

Still no ideas on how to do that. I'm sorry. When I try to go back and reread it I get caught up on how clumbsy my old writing is. :facehoof:

10385746

Though I will add -- for me, when it comes to me writing novels, four years is a REALLY SHORT TIMEFRAME. Admittedly Pillars of Society is probably (probably) going to be done in less than a year but I'm not exactly breaking any new ground there. :rainbowwild:

For me, the complexity of a story grows exponentially as it gets longer, and honestly even short clops take me months to finish.
