This story is kind of a sequel to My Life as a Bipedal Quadruped
After the noble and mighty King Sombra was purged of the evil inside his mind and found his way again, he reunited with his long lost love, Princess Celestia.
Years later, their son is nearing adulthood, and he has problems. Problems with his sense of identity, with his image, with awkward relatives, with fillies, and with being surrounded by world saviors. He needs a break, he needs something. Some opportunity for heroics, or he's going to rebel by becoming a guidance counselor.

Oh yeah.
Or, well, it's supposed to be an edgy alicorn OC, but I'm hoping that being self aware to that fact will elevate it above the stereotype. Characters who are overpowered in combat aren't interesting to read about the martial exploits of, so I'm going to have the appeal lie in other things, like self discovery and relationships.

You have a lot of stories on your page. How did it go?
9728959
It's definitely a big risk, but I think you're a good enough writer of non-combat interactions to pull it off quite well. And I like your sense of humor.
The only thing I'd be cautious of is having this many ongoing stories at the same time.
(I'm certainly not one to talk, but I do wish I had saved some of my ideas for later, and focused on two or three stories at the most.)
But you might have a lot more success than I did.

Aaw, thanks. And I've promised that I'm gonna take a look at your stories once I've finished mine, so I'm moving that up on the list
"Uuuhurhurhur," he laughed, sounding both nervous and dumb.
Yeah, that's gonna be tough. One of the reasons I released so many first chapters was that I wanted to see which concept people would appreciate of all the ideas I had. All of them, it turns out
That's why you should post on discord. Especially after I've read your stuff. We'll talk stories, its fun
Oh, that's easy! He was giving us a new interesting tale to read!
I would also have this problem if my name was Shadowdark and both my father and aunt were corrupted with the nightmare and happy to get rid of it. -_____-

Sounds like you liked it. Me happy

So if he is corrupted by something too, well, that's an opportunity for bonding
Kid, you need to work on you're one liners
Being an angsty teenager
Also, what coloration does Shady have ?+
9730818
Something dark. What would be your color scheme if you're the son of Sombra and Celestia. I'm thinking dark grey coat, black mane, and something that makes him more "special" like kaleidoscope highlights or something
9730825
Dark grey coat and Celestias rainbow mane in shades of grey ranging from ash to iron to mould. And an edge for a cutie-mark. However that would look.
9730938
That would work. Cutie mark though? Hmm, he'd want to call it "destiny emblem" or something, I'm thinking a chrome skull
I mean, no matter how dumb you look, legitimate martial prowess will make potential foes wary. As will the political fallout of harming royalty, of course.
Muah ha ha. Poor guy.. He has a lot to live up to.
9736220
He sure does
I will admit, I'm a little sad he didn't call her "big sis" or something like that
Heh! With a title like this, it’s almost a prerequisite that there’s at least a Barnabas and/or a Quinton of the Collinshoof family to show up.
I’ll get around to reading this someday, I promise, but not just yet.
9730944
Okay, I couldn’t resist, I read it, already, and the comments....
Speaking of which, how about his cutie mark be the silver wolf’s head from Barnabas’ cane?

You said you wanted to check out the sequels to mlaabq, and... well, I kinda started losing interest in the show after Starlight Glimmer got so much focus, which zapped a lot of my desire to write fanfics for it and... this story might have to go

Oh, don’t let that stop you. Just slap that ol’ Alternate Universe tag on there and you’re golden.
Works for everyone else here.
