What human should be able to trade is advanced body armor against blades, usually used by police since outside America firearms are the exception on the streets for police to encounter.
Ballistic gel puppets to show simulated injuries would also help for research and development of weapons and armor.

mmm...when you put it that way, yeah, I don't have anything against the beat jazz movement, but Garble was a tough talking bully in his debut, and yeah, child psychology holds that those kinds of attitudes are often indicative of some "issues", but going complete 180 like that is not good writing.
That sounds like a very Twilight thing to do.
I agree that Luna following Celestia like a metaphorical puppy to Sunny Dale Retirement village was a bit of a head scratcher, My guess is that at that point the writers/producers didn't know what to do with her. Same thing with a number of other characters that seemingly got "poofed" if you will. Take Diamond Tiara for example, yeah her character arc was done, and yeah, I get that not EVERY character can get equal spotlight unless you want a stale corpse million episode show. But couldn't they have I dunno, had her pop in for some of the other CMC episodes, even if just a brief cameo.
S7-9 were definitely a mixed bag, without looking it up, I believe that's where we got Pear Butter (I liked that episode) but we also got the episode where AJ and RD nearly got their class killed because hur-dur let's get into a fisticuffs over popularity. Yeah, lessons don't stick in 1 dose, and sometimes they never fully "click" but again 180 like that isn't a good look. Truth be told, I was less concerned about the Student Six as I was the idea that AJ (by example) would have time in her day to Farm AND Teach, both are full commitments in of themselves. I could see the Student Six taking a field trip to SAA, or Sugar Cube Corner, showcase the M6 doing the everyday things, not everything needs to be a grandiose "adventure" or deep seated lesson.
Finally the Finale, I liked the final song and I liked the book closing sequence
I might have mentioned it in one of my previous comments, but I definitely didn't particularly care for the Sike on Discord being Grogar. Sombra's incarnation was a mixed bag for me (although it did bring about some really good fics and art) also a pretty funny Head Canon I read on why the two Sombra's were so different. And the whole Villains working together thing while kind of corny at times, had a few good moments. I remember chuckling when they were doing impersonations of Twilight.
eh, I could go on ad nauseam on these things, but I should probably save SOME griping for our next communique eh?
Hell yeah, looks like we are getting back to the good stuff :D
This chapter is a plesant mix of everything i am here for and i am glad i could indulge in it once again <3

Like they use in Britain, where they’re trying to even outlaw knives? I’d much rather have things the way they are here. Our cops use military-grade body armor, but that’s available to civilians, too. Ain’t cheap, but it can be purchased. The question on Tellus becomes, can they enhance their magically-infused materials and protective enchantments to act the part of proper body armor? And better yet, what happens when you combine Tellusian magic with human technology, both in terms of weapons and armor? You can bet I’m going to explore that going forward.
You can find US-based YouTube channels that explore that subject quite readily. Just be warned that they can be quite addicting.
11797428
Thanks for saying so! Welcome back to the story, Major.
Superb. That’s exactly what I like to hear!
11797292
Hey. Just wanted to say up front that I'm enjoying this exchange. I might get a little rant-y at times, for which I apologize, but this is a passionate subject for me. Wouldn't be writing in this verse if it wasn't!
But now that I think about it, I actually ranted and/or waxed philosophical and all this at great length some time earlier in a pair of blogs about the movie and series ending, with the latter coming not long after the end of the show. So I should probably point you to those blogs, as I discuss a lot of these topics at great length:
https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/875635/a-look-back-at-mlp-friendship-is-magic
https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/811282/thoughts-on-season-8-and-the-mlp-movie
They provoked a lot of discussion in the comments, and I'm honestly surprised at how many years I had go back into my blog archives to find these. Has it really been that long since the movie and MLP G4 ended? Sheesh.
Agreed. There were certainly times that personality changes or even outright reversals can be played for laughs, like in Fake it 'Til You Make It--which it sounds like we both agree is one of the best late season episodes there is. But they have to have some decent justification and perhaps be only temporary, like with Fluttershy. I remember laughing my ass off as Rarity fired each of her alternate personalities in turn, and then Fluttershy was back to normal.
Exactly. I also decided she was most likely afraid of her full power after her battle with Tirek when she found she liked it. She didn't want to be tempted to wield it, so she self-throttled it going forward.
Agreed. Another thing they forgot to do was show the fate of Sunset Shimmer in the finale, who I assume would have taken over from the Principals Celly and Luna to run Canterlot High. Or hell, why not show us the fate of the entire Humane 6 if the worlds are supposed to be linked?
Also an excellent episode, dealing with some very adult topics for kids quite gracefully. The long-awaited story of AJ's parents was beautiful.
Yeah, I hated that one, and you may have noticed that I flagged it in my blogs above for that very reason. It was as if they hadn't bothered to watch previous episodes and had no knowledge of what came before. Or worse, they didn't care.
Yep. One of many reasons the Friendship School made zero sense. The show was generally at its best doing slice-of-life stuff instead of these grandiose season-spanning stories. The one exception I'll make to that was season 7, as the overarching Pillars of Harmony storyline was very well done and came to a very good and epic conclusion. For that reason, I would have had no issue if the series ended there.
I freely admit it brought a tear to my eye. For all the issues I had with the final few seasons, it was a pitch-perfect way to end G4.
You did mention it. Sombra seemed a little underused, to be honest, and too one-dimensional a villain for me. Chrysalis, Tirek and Cozy Glow at least had some genuine depth and even rapport during that final season.
Me too! I'm definitely enjoying the back-and-forth, getting the chance to vent a bit. Feel free to continue, and I hope you’re enjoying the story, too.
11797583
So the Head Canon that I remember reading suggested that 1000 years ago Sombra was very much like in S9, but a 1000 years locked in the Frozen Wastes gave him a killer head cold hence the raspy KRYYYSTALLS.
As to Cozy Glow I might have mentioned this earlier but at least in the show I would have preferred Chancellor Neighsay to be the seasonal baddy. Cozy kinda came out of left field and I seem to recall reading somewhere that she was written as a quote-unquote ""clever"" nod to several other 'Evil Shirley Temple' characters. I'll admit she got better in later episodes, but her debut was meh...
I also admit that there's a number of fanfictions and arts that make her a much more interesting and sympathetic character. I read one such story this morning actually.
11797649
Well, I can’t say I have any better explanation. I haven’t actually formed a headcanon for Sombra except to state in a couple of my fics that Celly and Lulu fought a very bloody war with him and his captive Crystal Empire several centuries before Luna’s fall. In fact, if you look at the maps of Equestria in Firefly, you’ll notice that unlike the rest of the map, which closely conforms to the real life map of North America, the Foal Mountains don’t exist for real.
camo.fimfiction.net/gC8K8622di-jv5GgNiVWXZGR5unhEVy5YinzCjgBEbU?url=https%3A%2F%2Flh3.googleusercontent.com%2Ft2QmXQ7qBm15sSEKEtH5sz7iPSNsSldehuP4JurcQJkARfFiL79rZHilnUa5mAPNoeN-QT-TelsKiFEHLGKh6ZHgSNYbgLZslxgvkpwBlXJt8Z5wxBwqL3AP4chFu2ekDy12lRMk
In my canon, that’s because Celly and Lulu performed a megaspell to raise the mountain range as a bulwark against the invasions of the Crystal Empire. How did they do that? Haven’t worked that out, sorry. But that’s the canon I use.
Neighsay was the stereotypical social justice villain who never got better, mostly there to be dumped on—until perhaps the very end when they allowed him a perfunctory redemption along with most of the rest of the seasonal villains like Dr. Caballeron and Ahuizotl. I admit I hadn’t thought of Cozy Glow as an Evil Shirley Temple, but that description actually works perfectly for me. Then again, I think she came too late in the game to be a seasonal villain, only there for the final seasons. She was an interesting twist on a baddie, though, trying to turn the Magic of Friendship on its head to gain power.
Interesting. Can’t say I’ve ready any myself. Which one was this?
11797705
The Cozy Glow story was called
It was a unique take on her origins and why she was the way she was.
As to the map situation, that reminded me of a discussion I had with someone on Discord about a story idea I was playing around with at the time. It was a ponified version of the Ancient Roman city of Pompeii and the subsequent destruction. One thing we looked at was where it might have been using the official G4 maps as guides. One thing that caught our attention was that there are a number of areas that never got touched on in any of the Canonical materials. In particular there was a place on the southwestern coast on the big map that looked like submerged ruins.

This in turn brought about a few other ideas like how the Large map if taken as a whole looks like North America back millions of years ago when it was divided into two mini continents by what is sometimes called The Great Interior Sea

ayyy update finally! :D
New troops are here and most everyone's had a bit of time to recuperate. Hope things start looking up from here.

awesome chapter.
Damn that was a plot twist with the changlings. I mean they were acting like a barracks bunny and collecting dirt on all the male soldiers.🔥😭🔥
11798291
You’re welcome. I’ll try to be a bit more regular about these going forward.
11798517
Well, they’ve bought themselves some breathing space, at least, but the Cloven are still out there and will come again. Aricia remains an isolated island in a otherwise Cloven-conquered area, and you know they’d love the city’s population added to their ranks, to say nothing of the humans now ensconced there.
11798954
Guilty as charged. But then again, as I’m going to be incorporating content from the original story going forward again, I can’t get too crazy here. For now.
11799015
Thanks!
11799458
Just doing what I usually do!
And they’re just doing what they usually do. Information is almost as valuable to them as love, after all. Information on individuals and societies is what enables them to extract love from them so readily.
Meanwhile ponies trying to breach through Cloven lines and Rainbow Dash that has matured enough is fuel by her determination to reforge the bonds of friendship:

Hello again
That story... is... hard to describe.
But this might do the trick:

Yeah... If the Griffon see something like that
[ Cipio especially ], suddenly the obsession with the humans becomes clear.
Maybe there is something that would have saved Jenkins life:

Perhaps not after all..?

Hey, don’t worry about it. Believe me, I know how it is. I appreciate you dropping a comment regardless.
Oh? What moments were those? I want this chapter to be understandable without reading Eros, since not everyone will.
Thanks. Their links are longstanding and go very deep indeed. But as always, credit where credit is due: The Lepidotpes Hive is the creation of former Gentlemanverse author Denim_Blue, who sadly departed Fimfiction and took his stories with him. I’m just building off his considerable and very well-thought lore.
Is this really was this story has become? Just a sexual deviancy exhibition? Everyone bedding everyone? And everyone is completely fine with it?
11819942
With greatest respect, I have bent over backwards to accommodate non-clop readers by releasing T-rated chapters for every adult one, which are a lot of additional work to create and maintain. And in my view, this isn’t ‘Just a sexual deviancy exhibition’ at all.
I’ve given you tons of non-clop content, including plenty of suspenseful scenes, intense battles and rich worldbuilding, introducing and developing new races, characters and lore. There’s plenty more to come, and as for what sex there is in the main story, I’d remind you that this is set in the Gentlemanverse, which isn’t exactly known for purity and monogamy. Especially where the Changelings are involved.
I’m sorry if you don’t like it, but I’ve said it before and I’ll say it again: as the original story was in part inspired by the very R-rated movie Starship Troopers, this is basically in the same mold: a very epic and adult boobs-and-bullets war thriller.
Even in the original story, Demon Eyes Laharl set up multiple potential partners for Marco in later chapters—three by actual count. He even wrote his own M-rated side story called Feathered Heart: Preening. So no, I really don’t think I’m violating the spirit of either the story, or the verse.
YMMV, of course, but this is how I’ve chosen to tell the relaunched Feathered Hearts tale. In any event, I’m not going to let the sex overtake the story, but expect it to be a background presence that will make its way to the foreground now and again when I find it appropriate. Such instances will always have an alternate T-rated version to read. If that’s not enough, then I’m sorry, but there’s nothing more I can do without compromising the story I’m telling more than I’m willing to.
11820954
It be lead with this for every episode:
camo.fimfiction.net/3w3Dwfru-LgMxrxtHd0cYWkhNpOSqd5KumlX_BUyg94?url=https%3A%2F%2Fderpicdn.net%2Fimg%2F2013%2F9%2F19%2F430894%2Ffull.gif
A coming common thing until the end of the war, maybe some time after.
11819942
Yeah the concept and story was cool until all the characters stop acting like people and instead like weird one note sex fiends.
I want to continue but I can't help but cringe whenever any of the romance comes up or whenever Chris, Marco, and Tara talk. They have to be some of the most annoying characters in the story.
At the end of the day this is just my personal opinion, but I've just lost interest in continuing to read this story.
11824215
I could answer this here, but I’ve already done so in a blog:
https://www.fimfiction.net/blog/1033294/some-things-to-say
My apologies in advance for being pointed in my response, but I do ask that you read the whole thing. Consider what I say carefully, if not for me, than for other stories and authors you may be following.
11826222
Whatever you end up doing with the C&C story, I find your story to be very enjoyable and gripping. I've read this story at least 4 times, and every single time, it just keeps getting better and better. There's a reason why this is one of my favorite Fimfiction stories.
The parts with the battles are absolutely gripping AND heart pounding, and the more suggestive scenes are perfect for evening out the fight scenes. You are a simply fantastic writer!
Keep up the amazing work, Firesight! And if it means seeing get another amazing chapter, take all the time you need. I am more than willing to wait👍
Can we get a look into the Cloven of the sun?
We literally never got a look into their inner workings.
Evil hearts song would be quite something ♤♡
How do the Cloven of the Sun see this?
Maybe the follow obedient badly worded orders?
We explored their beginning, but not from their view point...
How do they keep existing and saving their existance?
What will they do to escape eradication?
I wonder if the marines have exotic weapon attachments or get some from the Equestrian build:

11819942
>"Sexual Deviancy"
Oh I know that phrase and what it means. You're not butthurt at the sex, you're butthurt there's two males or two females in a relationship.
Or maybe you're just angry that this fic depicts a polycule instead of a "good old-fashioned nuclear family", lmao.
You're not clever.
11826222
My advice? Don't listen to them. They're not going to come back even if you change the fic to suit them.
They want a Humanity Fuck Yeah-type story where the humans win every fight instantly, and they're mad at the sex for getting in the way of that. Even there being a relationship is enough to upset them because it means there's less humans killing things. They will never be happy unless you change the story so much you might as well make a new one.
11833988
Wow, thanks! That people like to not just read but reread is very high compliment to me.
Comments like this definitely stoke me for more writing! Thank you very much!
11840158
Yes. In due course. I know their origin and ultimate purpose, though the only one I’ve shared them with so far is DEL. Expect some surprises.
That’s some very dark stuff in those videos, which actually do have a few parallels for what I envision with the Cloven.
I’ve seen that flamethrower attachment for sale! Yep, it’s real. As for what they have available, you’ve already seen most of it, but there are one or two surprises left. And there might yet be a way their stuff can be enhanced with existing griffie magic and technology.
11841137
Looking forward to it ♡
I wonder what culture we will learn of next:
11840936
>"Sexual Deviancy"
With respect, please try not to pick fights in my comments section. I responded via my blog, and that’s the end of it from here. Its their choice whether to continue with the story, but at this point, I’m not changing my approach.
That’s what a lot of commenters on the blog post said as well. So you’re definitely in good company. And you’ll be happy to know that I’m taking everyone’s advice there. I’m not changing anything because there’s no real point.
In fairness, that’s not always the complaint. I’ve had folks who are otherwise fine with clop say they think the romance hasn’t been implemented well or the characters are acting a bit too one-note about sex. Whether that’s a valid criticism is a different debate entirely, but the point is that it’s a mistake to paint all the story’s detractors with the same brush.
Still, appreciation the enthusiasm and comments! Out of curiosity, have you checked out Eros yet?
Equestria nobility probably will try to get out of their responsibilities, something along side:

But seriously, why are the cloven of the sun don't spice their victims DNA together to create more versatile units?
So far we see specialists that are focused to do one thing good and bad at other things.
Than again the cloven hivemind makes control of them unrivaled so they use even in the chaos of a battlefield the units to selective attacking thrir preferred targets apparently.
Or do cloven overlords just mix their front lines and give a general attack order?
11863665
Yeah, I looked back over those chapters when I posted. If it was more than 24, it's just barely so.
Marine or not, those guys would likely all be in a coma for a week after all the shit finally stops.

I have had so much fun introducing Bob as the reason for the Cloven attack...
After all, most everyone has THAT SORT OF AN "uncle" who shall not be named... or at least will never be invited to Thanksgiving Dinners.
Ah! NOW I remember where I first heard of Bob!
Okay----just never, NEVER mention Tom around him!
