Flash Colored

Flash Sentry is a drab, flat, uninteresting guy whose very skin is bland, drab, and boring. Every day, he's surrounded by healthy, vibrant, exciting, enticing girls who bring a rainbow of fresh, fun, beautiful color into the world around them.

Flash longs, even for just a few minutes, to be as brilliant and colorful as those girls.

He never can seem to get a win can he?

That said I really did like this. The Teenage years are really just fucked up.

There's a song I think Flash should really listen to. This.

A small ring-tailed lemur was climbing all over her long, luxurious cherry-blossom pink hair, chittering away as it watched them work.

Credit where it's due?

Still quite pleased with the concept. Glad you like it too.

Yeah, some makeup in this world seems like it'd be akin to house paint, at least in terms of needing to mix the colors when someone orders it. One can only imagine what they had to do in earlier eras. Probably still involved unhealthy amounts of lead.

Huh. This was certainly a fascinating exploration of a concept that could only be done in the EqG world. Imagine someone trying to pull this in our world! There's walking through a minefield, and then there's just running across a single enormous land mine...

Suffice to say, a most interesting read. Thanks for it.

Oh, there's PLENTY of people who do something equivalent to this in our real world. By which I mean "anyone who has tattoos all over every inch of their bodies"... Society still has a pretty mixed reaction to body art enthusiasts once it hits a certain level.

Glad you enjoyed it, in any case. ^_^

This was actually a really fun story. Good job.

I'd imagine this is useful to fashion designers like Rarity, which specialize in the individual touch rather than mass-produced outfits. (And come to think of it, to the Equestrian Rarity as well: as popular as that Princess Dress might have been, surely it didn't go well with quite a few Ponies' colors?)

So crossdresser/color changer/transsexual Flash is now a fimfiction Thing? Oh well, it's much less annoying than Beanis is by this point.

Less a "FiMFiction thing" and more a SS&E thing that I'm messing around with. I think this one pretty much broke the recursion loop and will be the end of it, though.

We shall see. Both yourself and SS&E are popular enough writers there remains a risk of this going Full Meme.

I guess this makes some sense. In a world where people are pretty much every color of the rainbow, how would you feel if you weren't as vibrant as you wished?

Flash, look at it this way. No matter how bland you think you are...at least you're not Timber Spruce. Or Zephyr, who stands out for all the wrong reasons.

At least Flash has actual potential for great stories. It also helps that he has my favorite color scheme in the series.

Flash watched her disappear into the supermarket, hands idle on the base of the steering wheel. He swallowed heavily, his Adam's apple bobbing in his throat. After several seconds, he undid his own seat belt, leaned over to the passenger side, and hauled Sunset's bag up into the seat. His heart thumped and thudded as he dug through the bag, constantly flicking his eyes up to make sure nobody was watching.

You really shouldn't be doing that flash.

Once they reached the apartment complex where Sunset lived, she gathered up her things and favored Flash with a brilliant, sun-kissed smile. "Thanks for the ride," she said. "You're a good workout buddy, we should do this again."

So that's why they were there together.

Flash sighed, his shoulders slumping in defeat. He capped the little jar forlornly and wet a washcloth to clean the mess off his face before anyone came home and saw.

Looks like that was a waste of time to begin with.

It was foolish, he supposed, to hope there was any way he could capture Sunset Shimmer's natural, fiery radiance, even just a false fragment of her brilliant shine...

I find that hard for you to try and match flash as your not a woman.

A grey, sleepy Sunday morning found Flash Sentry at the local animal shelter, helping Fluttershy wrestle immensely heavy bags of pet food and boxy wire cages around. "I'm sorry if I'm keeping you from doing something else," Fluttershy said as she set down a feed bag. A small ring-tailed lemur was climbing all over her long, luxurious cherry-blossom pink hair, chittering away as it watched them work. Despite the hard work, not a single bead of sweat slicked her smooth, buttery yellow skin. Flash caught himself staring at her graceful golden neck, then turned to busy himself with a cage.

What's with him in looking at girls skin all of a sudden.

Fluttershy sighed. "Somebody imported him illegally to keep as a pet, but that person passed away suddenly recently. The police brought him here because the zoo is over capacity, but the director here has no idea what to do with him either, so..." She shrugged. "I'm looking after him until they can find a place to send him, since he likes me and is a very good boy for me, yes you are, yes you are!" The last, she cooed to Radar, who basked in the attention, standing straight and proud and swishing his tail.

That explains why one is there at the shelter.

Buttery yellow and soft, warm pink, like spring flowers in a grassy green meadow. The bright spring sun shone down overhead from a cloudless sky, and Flash sat upon a gently sloping hill covered in bright green grass and springy green clover. He wore forest green shorts and a white tank top, and his skin was buttery yellow like fluffy scrambled eggs. His short, spiky hair was a brilliant blossom pink. Animals of all stripes cavorted and frolicked around him—bunnies, squirrels, kittens, butterflies, colorful little chirping birds. He hummed a melody as he tied chains of wildflowers together into little crowns and necklaces and bestowed them upon all the little creatures, who lined up eagerly to receive his fragrant spring gifts and gentle pats from soft yellow hands.

What is with him all of a sudden?!?!?

Pinkie Pie was energy incarnate, a living sugar high. Just looking at her could make one's teeth ache, or put one in an instant state of sugar crash. But more often than not, no matter how exhausting and perplexing she was, Pinkie Pie could make everyone around her laugh and smile.

That's pinkie pie for you.

"Well the way you were staring at me, you must really have something pink on your mind," Pinkie said. "That or you're crushing on me or just ogling me, and either is fine by me, really, you can totally ask me out if you want..."

Did she seriously just say that out of the blue! 😨

An infinite sea of pink stretched out before Flash, sweeping away the kitschy 50's diner and its juke box and chatter, replacing it with sand and sun and surf as the pink faded away to pale sandy shores and sparkling green ocean waves. He heard high-pitched, cheerful giggling and turned to see Pinkie Pie running up to him, waving, orbited by a cloud of fully inflated party balloons that were only just barely covering up the fact that she wasn't wearing a bathing suit, or anything else for that matter. Heat rose to Flash's face as Pinkie drew near, her satellite balloons bumping and jostling against him as she leaned in close and grabbed his cheeks and pulled, and pulled, and pulled , and Flash looked down to see wads of pink taffy-like cheek-flesh in her pretty pink hands, and then she let go and his cheeks snapped back into place with enough force to spin him around and around and when he stopped, he was facing a mirror that showed he, too, was bright, bubblegum pink, with the same floofy pink hair in a medium afro, and he was also naked, with a single blue ballon floating in front of his groin...

What the hell is with him all of a sudden!!!

Twilight ducked her head. "Y-yeah," she said. "Sorry. I really, really didn't mean that the way it..." She coughed. "I, uh, still have trouble with the whole talking to other people thing sometimes."

Same.

Twilight looked like she was about to protest, but stopped, one slim purple finger raised, and pursed her lips. "Fair enough," she said. "If I'm totally honest with myself, Applejack's role in our group social dynamic is...fairly limited." She frowned. "Come to think of it, she gets a lot less attention from boys than the rest of us, too. Huh." She shook her head. "I'll have to research that later. Look, Flash...you're not a nobody just because you aren't purple or blue or pink or whatever." She smiled. "Everybody's special in their own way. You just need to find yours ."

Exactl!

"...but it sure as hell matters to me ."

And for a second there I thought he was gonna listen to Twilight's advice.

It was hard not to envy Rainbow Dash. She was the guy every guy wished he could be, except she was not a guy, but a hot chick. Flash was all too aware of the locker room talk that circulated about Rainbow Dash— all of it—and he himself had to admit that, if the chance ever arose to go out with her, he'd probably dive on top of that chance and seize it like the last bottle of water in the desert in summer. But mostly, he admired Rainbow Dash for being all the things he wished he could be.

I feel like the chances of that happening are slim. 😒

"Wow, Flashie, you've been doing that a lot lately," Pinkie Pie said from further down. "I mean, I'm all for letting my mind wander—sometimes it comes back with cake!—but maaaaybe you should get it under control a little better?"

Flash sat with Sunset Shimmer, Pinkie Pie, and Rainbow Dash, watching the match. "I still can't believe Rarity does karate," Flash commented.

Same 😲

Rarity tossed her hair primly as she accepted her trophy and hoisted it above her head for all to see, then made her way back to the locker rooms. The other girls ran off to join her, leaving Flash loitering around at the venue's entrance, waiting, as he'd driven the girls to the match and would be needed to secure their return to Rarity's place, where the four of them were planning a victory slumber party.

Congrats rarity.

Flash felt guilt squirm around in his gut. He should've just returned it the day after...

Yep, you really should have.

"Parties are more fun when there's more people!" Pinkie said.

Same

"Oh really now," Rainbow said with a leer. "You're not thinkin' up some weird scheme like tryin' to date your way through my whole band, are you? Like we're some harem anime and you're the dude?"

That's precisely what's been happening dash.

"RAINBOW EUPHEGENIA DASH!" Rarity shrieked, aghast and scandalized. "How could you! Such a... scandalous word! "

Rainbow dash has a middle name?

"What if..." Pinkie said quietly, slowly, into the silence. Everyone looked at her. "What if you could just try it for one day? You know, just to see what it's like?"

Doesn't seem like a bad idea if you ask me.

"Just temporarily," Fluttershy said as she gave Radar belly scritches. "Miss Zecora does free test colors for people who are, well...color-curious. It's so they can decide if they want to, you know, try the first steps to living as transcolor persons."

So that's who pinkie pie was mentioning fluttershy was friends with.
