Lately, King Thorax is feeling rather down. Although his friends are already dating or married, he feels left out. Hearing this, his brother, Pharynx with the help of Equestria's newest adviser, Spike, set out to find the King a mate. But there's a catch to this match-making, Pharynx has reason to believe that his brother is gay. So who exactly could they get Thorax to date and, more importantly, will it go well in this comedy of assumptions?
A special thanks to a certain someone who offered me the idea who wishes to remain anonymous.

You did read the story, right?

He's a troll, just ignore him. It's clear he's going for the attention.
Eh, to be honest, the humor was sorta hit or mess. Way too much on the sexy cracky style of things, with a few... well, I don't want to say stereotypes but that's what it feels like at times. Sorry, not my cup of tea.

I get it, humor is said to be subjective at times. Plus I get that I can’t exactly please everybody.
Ending was a bit predictable, though the punchline was good.
A good lesson about assumptions, and a heartwarming little story at that.
Gotta love a dumb big brother doin' dumb things for the little bro they love.
😑😑😑 talk about a face slap situation, but it is their fault for assuming like that. But most importantly have feel bad for all the suitors especially thunderlane he was so thirsty and he got blue balled. But it’s nice to see a slash fic with beefy spike!

The more I think about it... I think you two have a point here. This is, in a way, a comedy of faulty assumptions. Pharynx and Spike having the false assumption that Thorax is gay. Sunburst with the assumption that the date will go well. Hoity with the assumption that he could seduce Thorax. Thunderlane with the assumption that he's gonna get some action. Braeburn with the assumption that he's gonna have a good time drinking with him. And Blueblood with the assumption that this "gay King" is going to be willing to marry him almost immediately.
Some wouldn't think that most or all of this is funny, but to me, I think it is. After all, I had fun writing this one-shot. Hopefully, if anyone that isn't too prideful in what they assume is open to a challenge, perhaps they might get a giggle out of this.
P.S. For Kick land, now that I think of it, how come there's not any more of beefy Spike anyway? That idea alone deserves a couple of stories!
Yeah I first I wasn’t sure but yeah I don’t mind it being a comedy. I’m pan, but it’s important to be comfortable with yourself that you can laugh at this type of stuff too. But, again it’s important to keep your pride and stand your ground. It depends on the situation mostly. But yeah I did love your story and I’m true I have no idea why their isn’t more beefy spike out their? 🧐

One more assumption: That Pharynx and Spike (moreso Pharxynx) are straight but they end up going back to the bar in Appaloosa.
Sure, a pretty predictable humourous twist at this point, but hey, at least its consistent
Still in the middle of reading this, but I've already noticed a few spelling errors here and there, such as:
It should be "single".
I'll give a more thorough list of corrections when I'm done reading it through, if you want.

I did say that the story is currently unedited. Still, if want you want, you can point out the grammatical errors so I can correct them.
I'll tell you what needs to be a story, Blue Blood willing to go to any lengths to be regarded "real" royalty and just marrying the first guy with a crown that takes an interest in him.
Now we need a version of this song but edited for this fic:
Well this was a gun read, keep it up
This was a cute little story. It's good, clean, simple fun. I also love it because I am an unabashed fan of Thorax.
Like Kerfuffle.
That reference certainly gave me a nice chuckle.
Wonderbolt
First word has the first letter in bold.
It's very hard for a written story to make me actually laugh in real life, and this one did many times specially at the fantastic ending. XD
Great story, friend! Congratulations and thank you!
Darnit. I thought this was a ThorSpike fic, but it's actually Embrax. I thought the last male candidate would be Spike.
.
Also, Thorax is so darn oblivious
Good story
Now this was an adorable little detail I don’t think we’ve heard in the show nor have I heard in any of the other fanfiction that included changelings. “Someling” is just that cute detail in Changeling culture and grammar I never thought I needed to hear so thank you for this
