REALLY good job on the exchanges, characterizations and future chapter set-up in all the right places. Yeah, loved Twilight's reflection on WHY she dislikes tardiness so much. I mean, yeah, it's one thing if you end up missing a deadline due to circumstances genuinely beyond your control (which would be the ONLY reason SHE would ever be tardy), but it is extremely understandable to detest it when it simply comes from somebody not caring about wasting somebody else's time (which IS the case more often than not, unfortunately). Also enjoyed Twi's reflections on the responsibilities Raven trusted her with as well as her first meeting with Blueblood and his father.
Also felt bad for Rainbow and Fluttershy concerning their argument (though I know they WILL eventually patch things up, it will probably take quite a while) concerning the - conflict.
I DID like that more private scene between Twilight and Blueblood closer to the end of the chapter. Of course, WE know Twilight is just EXTREMELY nervous around new ponies in general because of those issues mentioned in the first few chapters, but that is extremely difficult to explain to somebody who HASN'T been through it themselves, so I can see why Blueblood would be so curious.
VERY definitely looking forward to more of this.
It seems Blueblood refuses to go without a proper rival. Bluelight, the ship that nobody asked for!
How many Acts will this story have? And how many chapters long will each Act be?

Three acts. Each will be quite long. The second will be the longest, but that could change.

Well he can't just let any peasant with a stutter get a position he wants, can he?

Hey! Welcome back, glad you like it. Blueblood and Twilight will have more interactions in future chapters, and I'm sure you'll enjoy it. The Rainbow situation will be quite interesting when I get around to the subsequent parts, I hope.
Fascinating Blueblood - though undeniably abrasive, he seems to be acting as a genuine mentor to Twilight, teaching her, through his own methods, how to manage and keep up with social situations, especially those involving the nobility. This is one of my favorite stories on the site, and I can't wait to see how it goes.

Thanks man! Glad you liked Blueblood, i have some plans for him. Big fan of Waxing and My Little Human myself!
Interesting... Little confused over the name changes/nicknames with Rainbow and Fluttershy (did I miss something in previous chapters?) but overall the characterization is on point, and Blueblood and Twilight interactions are really good.

The names will become clear in time, you didn't miss anything. Glad you enjoyed!
Why do I get the feeling that Raven is either real fun at parties or this was meant in the quote-unquote "serious voice" given to children to make them feel more important or give something mundane a more "mystical appeal".
The bit with Hurricane "Rainbow" Dash confused me a bit, to be honest.
A young Prince Blueblood meets a young Twilight Sparkle...I've seen a few other fics do this, and it's rarely a good thing.

Funny you day that about Raven, you'll be able to guess next chapter i think.
Also, what on particular was confusing about the part with Rainbow/Shy?
Here's hoping I don't fall into whatever traps people fall into with Blueblood.

Probably that they have different names sometimes and they're in a drastically different situation from where we met them in the show and I don't recall anything about them before now to suggest what kind of place they're in (sounds like some kind of officers academy). I could be wrong though, it's been ages since I've read the rest of the story.

I tried to make it fairly obvious that despite the name change it was still Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy. In addition I think it's mentioned in the first or second paragraph of the first Dash section that she is in the Hurricane Academy of Military Strategy (HAMS) and the classroom has a good view of Cloudsdale. I'll go back and try to make it a bit clearer if I can, though.

as the other person said, probably most of my confusion is from merely forgetting details from not reading this one in a while.
The one other fic that I actively recall having a young blueblood and young twilight meet (which is for all intents a dead fic) had a meddling and manipulative mother figure who got reamed out at least thrice by Celestia herself for trying to manipulate/harm twilight.
Interesting Blueblood. I'm not sure if he's a asshole, or actually nice, but hides it very well.
Also, as someone with a slight stutter, I can confirm that bullying/annoying someone into not stuttering doesn't work. It's something I had to just... grow out from, and something I still just have to manage and constantly be conscious about.
Oh, and nice to meet RD and Flutters! What's with different names though?
Hmm... I kinda like this version of Blueblood. Sure, he's being a jerk, but that might be what Twilight needs right now to get her out of her shell. Guess we'll see how this plays out.
Acting the prick to dissuade a shallow attempt at being nothing more than a mares stepping stone to prestige really soured people on Blueblood.
Seeing it from the comics angle- a diplomat who wields stereotypes of his class like a rapier and had a tongue honed to match- you get a better picture of the stallion. A more respectable one. This Blueblood as well.
While I understand the root cause of Dash's feelings regarding the griffons, she's straying dangerously close to an unconscionable level of xenophobia. I really hope she's able to get some proper closure and grow past this.
On a more positive note, I'm intrigued by your choice to have a young Blueblood "mentoring" Twilight. I'm not usually a fan of tough love, but maybe this is just what Twilight needs to gain some confidence around other ponies.
I'm guessing the name thing is something to do with changing your name having extreme significance to a Pony. Something big has to happen to make solider pony Hurricane Gale change to Wonderbolt hopeful Rainbow Dash. Soft Breeze changing her name to Fluttershy seems easier, Fluttershy accenting her meek nature a little more blantantly. Applejack I would assume that's her birth name. Though I can see Rarity having a less "fabulous" name she changes to be more Iconic. Pinkie? Well shorting Pinkamina to Pinkie and adding Pie to reflect her beng an apprentice baker to the Cakes.
I expect Twilight to rater confound Blueblood. Nobles using political tactics for years to try to secure the position of Celestia's student for thier children and some unknown from a no longer relevant nearly extincted noble house gets the position? And Why, though a combination of merit and actually needing the Princess's mentorship because she's almost freakishly powerful. She wanted the position to get the best education and help everyone, not for fame or a sense of entitlement.
God I love this story. So much in depth stuff. This story just makes sense.
Blueblood makes me nervous, it feels like a situation in which twilight becomes dependant of his opinion and he makes do stuff for his aproval.
I don’t want to see it!
Yes, tell the cunt to piss off! Also, something's missing from that sentence.
NO! Fucking hell, he just got done insulting your ancestors! Stop making friends out of bitches!
Does gilda not exist?
She was one of rainbows friends in school...
I hope she does. She's my favorite catbirb!
