Bucking Nonsense


A Little Nonsense Now And Then Is Relished By The Wisest Men.

T

This is the story of Rosie, the new student of Twilight Sparkle. Rosie wants to be an enchantress. There's nothing strange or remarkable about this pony, or this story. Nope, nothing at all. Just a normal, boring Tuesday.

Can confirm, there is nothing strange to be had here. Very normal and average by all accounts. Yep.

With an odd accent, the stranger said, "My name is 'The Rose That Blooms Gloriously In The Morning As The Dew Sparkles Upon It Like A Thousand, Thousand Diamonds'."
Twilight, confused, replied, "Ooooo... kay. What do your parents call you?"
"The Rose That Blooms Gloriously In The Morning As The Dew Sparkles Upon It Like A Thousand, Thousand Diamonds," was the immediate reply.
Spike stifled a chuckle at that.
"And your friends?" Twilight asked, almost certain of the answer, but certain that she had to play this out as far as it goes.
The cloaked mare hesitated, then said, "I don't really have any. I guess the closest thing I have to one is my cousin, 'Crawling In My Skin, These Wounds They Will Not Heal, Fear Is How I Fall, Confusing What Is Real."

......when you try to read any Chinese novel and you using for this Google translator:applejackunsure::rainbowhuh:

So if the mares normally look like that and she looks like the males, is Rose a tomcolt?

I honestly missed reading a new work from you. Every time its something wonderfully different that both makes me laugh and want to slap you in the face. Keep up the good work, its good to have you back.

Oh, she's quite feminine. It's simply that, compared to what is considered the norm for that village, she's grotesquely malformed. After all, if all the males are hyper-muscular red and black edgelords, and all the females (Barring the leader of the village) are bizarre, technicolor hodgepodge Mary Sues that make anyone sick just to look at them, then she doesn't fit in anywhere: She's doesn't have the muscles or edge-lordian personality of a male, and she lacks the... unique body-type and coloration of the females. Neither fish, nor fowl, nor good red herring.

8835061
Oh okay. Was just curious about that.

I know you explained it, but why in the hell is that abomination of everything we hold dear even mentioned, the worst practicioner of barf and evil this world has ever seen?
I mean seriously, oatmeal raisin is just disgusting.

Still, she couldn't help but worry about her foster granddaughter...

Eh she'll be fine, it's everyone else i worry about :moustache:

This is amazing

I love this. Frankly, the opening was compelling enough that I'd like to see it developed into a serious story! However, I have one very minor correction: sable is a shade of brown, not black. I only point this out because the dissonance between my image of a red-and-brown Alicorn and the later description of a red-and-black Alicorn broke my immersion--really, a tiny nitpick in a masterful work.

Sweet lightning!, this is going to continue to be a fun read.

but she knew for a fact that the last cookie in there was oatmeal raisin, and honestly, oatmeal raisin is barely a cookie, and more of a penance.

*gasp* :pinkiegasp: Sacrilege! If anything, I would imagine they would be the favorite cookie of ponies. Because oats. But I could understand that they could be a more-than-deadly insult to Al'gaj'ag'ag'ag'ac'ka, Defiler of Worlds and Despoiler of the Hopes of Mortals.

Magic Pants. Didn't think I'd read about her again. No regrets! She makes me laugh too much.

My favorite lines:

  1. A really great, smart, handsome, and yet also incredibly humble author will start the story with a paragraph that's so meta and self-referential that it immediately lets the readers know that this is not a story to be taken seriously.
  2. For most ponies, walls are an inescapable reality, but for alicorns, they're mostly just a polite suggestion.
  3. Neither guard could see the cloaked pony's face, as Celestia's flanks blocked their view, but honestly, when Celestia's flanks are in front of you, there's nothing else worth staring at.

Absolutely loved this! I'd actually even like a full story like that :D

Seems back to form, if you ask me.

NOTHING IS A BORING NORMAL TUESDAY! :pinkiecrazy:

Come on you all, what is your problem with oatmeal raisin cookies? They need love too.

8835196

HEY! I actually like oatmeal raisin cookies!

Yes, legitimately.

They go great with lactose free milk, and using water to make them doesn't hurt the flavor or texture of the cookies much.

8836358

I also like oatmeal raisin cookies.

'Rosie' meeting the rest of the Main Six is gonna be good.
I'm very eager to see how you are going to handle the whole "How Rose see's herself" vs. "How Other see her" Dilemma.

May I have a reference for that claim? The only place I'm familiar with 'Sable' as a color is its use in heraldry, where it is explicitly black. I've never seen 'sable' used as a variant of 'brown' before, and would be interested in seeing just what kind of brown it is.

8836842
I don’t know about the color, but A sable is a kind of marten whose color ranges from light to dark brown. So if nothing else, there’s that.

Ri2

...WHY HAS FAUST NOT PURGED THIS HORRIBLE PLACE FROM EXISTENCE?!

8836842
Okay. Actually, Merriam-Webster lists two definitions of "sable" as a color. The first is indeed black, but the second is "the usually dark brown color of the fur of the sable". The second definition is how I've heard it used most often, how I use it myself, and therefore my default image when someone describes something as "sable".

The truth is, they start where the author says they start.

Or do they? Perhaps the Story commands the author, who helplessly flails at the keyboard, his hands dancing to every twitch of the Puppetmaster's fingers; his wailing pleas for death going unanswered as he's forced to churn out chapter after chapter of abysmal dreck for Alondro to assail for his own enjoyment?

(This is totally what happens. I'm in league with Dark Forces! DARK FORCES!! Dark, like my stool! ... It's made of mahogany. I crap wood. (Whoah... double paraprosdokian! With a commentception going on too! April 1st really supercharged this nutcase this year! Anyhoo, watch my new movie! Sincerely, Deadpool, currently playing the actor Ryan Reynolds, who picked up the girlfriend of this one loser who ended up in Equestria dressed as me that one time in Alondro's blog.)) :pinkiecrazy:

8837319 I had a Mercury Sable that was blue!

I am so confused... :applejackconfused:

"Yes, honored dragon, that's correct. I know I'm not very competent, attractive, or confident, but I hope you'll take good care of me."

Spike, "Isn't that the line the virgin school girls use in ecchi Neighponese manega before the dominant stallion has an... encounter... with her?"

"Yes, honored dragon. You will be my first indeed."

Spike's grin went earfin to earfin, "Coooooool..."

Twilight was too busy wondering how Spike got hold of hentai stuff to notice when he went all e612 on the poor alicorn. Nearly half a month's worth of submissions to Furaffinity were based upon the events that followed.

:pinkiecrazy:

gotta have somepony that can help deal with Displaced demons, Author attacks, and Self-insert Strangers hellbent on exploiting an exposed world like Equestria. Or some ponies, in any case.

A red and black alicorn, the weakest of which is typically an OP edgelord that is so stupidly powerful that it steamrolls anything that gets in its way. Even Discord. And there's dozens of them. You cannot stop them, you can only hope to contain them.

The nonsensical instantly returns.
Rejoice.

Also, Edgelord Kylo Ren has nothing on them.

How does everyone feel about oatmeal-chocolate chip?

The Rose That Blooms Gloriously In The Morning As The Dew Sparkles Upon It Like A Thousand, Thousand Diamonds

When did we get into Exalted territory? :rainbowhuh:

Hilarious though :rainbowlaugh:

It could be worse. It could have been... *DEEP INHALE*

The Most Secret and Sorrowful of the Bearers of the Endless Destiny of All Creation which Wander Amidst Forgotten Sights and Fallen Tears along the Tread of Ancient Ashen Footsteps Through the Shadow of That Which Comes and into that Riotous Cacophony which Births All Fools and Steals All Beauty, who Heralds through her Silence the Stillness and Chill of Those Who Were Not Born and who will Not Fade 'Till All Things Fall and in that Most Grim Harvest Form the Final Restful Tomb of All Awakened Life and All the Sleepless Dead...

*Passes Out*

Actually, the reason why she speaks that way is because she was raised in a village whose male population was almost completely composed of red and black edgelords (The few who weren't were more or less just violent idiots). And I'm sorry, but Japan more or less invented Edgelords. Dante, Alucard (The one that dresses like Carmen Sandiego), Shadow the Hedgehog, Sasuke Uchiha, etc. Thus, a number of her verbal tics tend to come from how American (Otaku) edgelords think that Japanese people speak to each other, based on (sometimes badly translated) manga and anime.

Honestly, given her upbringing, she should be a walking mass of traumas and crippling social phobias. It's amazing she turned out as well as she did.

8843740 Yeah, I know. They also invented hentai.. which is WAAYYYYYY worse than most people even spoof. I have seen "Death Panda" and much, MUCH more. There is no exaggeration.

Hence my little skit there poking fun at it.

wow.
just wow.
very nice.
keep up the good work.

I love the idea of a fairly normal and well written Alicorn OC growing up in a village full of the Sturgeonian rejects and ending up a little weird anyway. You’d think she’d have noticed that everyone she’s interacted with since leaving the village is uglier than her at least, if not weaker since she hasn’t engaged in any feats of strength. Guess it’s just the years of abuse being normalized.

Just found this and once again you live up to your name.

For you, this fanfic is A Normal, Boring Tuesday. But for me, it was Tuesday:

I still want the continuation to this, it could be hilarious to watch.

Oatmeal chocolate chip cookies are good.
