There's beef in the ends of Ponyville. Will T rise above, or will she get chiefed up by even bigger g's?
(I really should be sorry about this, but I'm not. Warning, gratuitous amounts of British slang ahead, read at your own risk. Curious about what the heck a roadman is? Linky link here.)

Why are you like this?

Cheers, my man! (I said I'd do it.)

I'm unsure as to whether you're asking why I'm typically oppositional and deliberately write controversial stories, or whether you're asking if I in fact use any of the words/present any of the traits portrayed in this story.
To answer the first question, I do it because it's fun!
As for the second, well... I'm wearing an 'NY' snapback right now, if that narrows it down at all.

I'm split between Jack's and Famous' reactions right about now.
Let's see just what kind of trash we cooked up here

I ask myself this question all the time when he throws story ideas at me
The hell did I just read?

Uhh, I dunno... Crazy motherfucker named sugarcube? ...Nah, that was shit.

I'm very glad to hear so! I always hope for my stories to have that effect.
Thanks for the comments!

Could you rephrase that please? I'm not very good with modern colloquialisms.
(But for real 1 vs 1 me on rust fam etc.)

I never figured British slang could be so...incomprehensible.

Which phrases gave you the most trouble? I'm happy to translate!

I didn't have much trouble figuring it out, but I can't imagine anyone who's not British trying to listen and follow along in a conversation.

A lot of the words here are originally London-centric, some originating from Jamaican Patois. I'm pretty sure any Brit in a rural area would have quite a bit of trouble understanding all of this too!
Still, thanks for reading!

Which Skepta album is your favourite? I like Microphone Champion. I'd like to think it was! I tried my best to make it pretty accurate, not using redundant phrases etc. I'm actually from Southeast London, but don't live there any more. I live in a county south of London now, but I grew up surrounded by a London accent and meeting many people my age who used a London dialect, even if some of them were just faking it to look hard. Then again, nowdays nearly all the words here are a lot more mainstream, thanks to music and popular culture in the UK.
Thanks for your comment by the way!

Yeah yeah I like that album it's got Tour Bus Massacre and that tune with 'one sheet of the rizla is all I need' on it too, lots of class tunes.
I was doing my best to highlight the disparity, so I'm glad that worked for you! I really wanted to do more with Luna, maybe have her respond to the sword comment with 'Forsooth, ni**a', or some play on words like that, but I think the 'T' rating on this story is pretty shaky as is.
I think slang's a very interesting element of vocabulary, the idea of it mirroring your own self-concept as well as being a byproduct of your surroundings has always intrigued me. There's also convergence and divergence, but I'd be sitting and typing about that for too long.
I love my grime and rap in general. The wordplay, syntax, rhyming structures, rhythm, tone, breath control, memorisation etc. People don't realise how much goes into just being able to spit over a beat and actually keep a solid rhythm, rap gets disregarded as stupid trash when most pop and rock songs (don't get me wrong here I like a lot of rock music) predominantly use monosyllabic rhyming couplets. Yet somehow, rap is stupid because the subject matter of certain songs often revolves around money, women, and power. No matter how many metaphors, subtexts, or demonstrations of literary skill are in a rap song, it must be stupid to relate it to money, women, power etc. because who in the history of the world has ever been interested in any of those things, eh?
I realise it's a bit of a rarity to see something like this on fimfic, which is half the reason I posted it. I don't expect it to get very far, it'll probably alienate a fair amount of readers, but screw it, it was fun to write. Besides, if even one reader (such as yourself) was able to enjoy what I wrote, it was all worth it!
Thanks for your comment dude, it's appreciated.

What happened to the name Roadman Twilight
This was an enjoyble fic. I was a bit bias cause of the british slang, but I was wrong, I still enjoyed and it still made me laugh.
U gained a spot in my "cool shit" collection and have a like too, man!

I don't think anyone knew what a roadman was, so I changed it to be a little more accessible. (I know, stop selling out, Art, pedaling your conventional stories with their conventional names.) Unfortunately, I think I made the change a little too late.

I figured some people would be put off by that, but I'm glad you persevered! I'm sure for most users, the idea of reading pony in general was a little out of their comfort zones at first, but now look at us all! Just goes to show what can come from giving something a little different a chance, eh?
I'm very glad you enjoyed it, and thanks for the like!

Gud shit.
