It's not done though. Now you're stuck with everyone else reading this version awaiting updates.
I’ve always preferred Money, Money, Money.
Romance tag when?
Neurons have been activated. Let's see where they lead him.
When do the cuddles start?? The romance???
Always different when you stop and look back at the last conversation with someone who you thought was just a friend and realized you'd really go to the wall for them in a whole new way.
Someone to fight for.

Ya know, I've never looked at 4chan or green text stories before I accidentally found the green text version of this on ponepaste after looking at the art from tiffortat. I really enjoyed what you wrote so I went and found the other /bootleg/ stories afterwards and and am currently reading through Jacky atm. Do you have any personal greentext recommendations now that I'm going down the ponepaste rabbit hole?
11807372
Hey, at least your story is alive, which isn't something that can be said about a lot of other greentext authors. Poor /rgm/ is long since on life support, for example. Also, I believe I'll survive waiting for the current slice of life cliffhanger to be resolved.
Yeah, sorry. I think I'm done. I've been following this story since chapter one, but the relationship here is too unhealthy to enjoy. Midnight is a psychopath and John has some sort of weird emotional dependency thing going on.
Chapter after chapter of her being a complete ass, and it's getting worse not better despite her safety and circumstances improving, she's not growing as a character. Instead she's just becoming crueler and more obnoxious. And at the same time she's been becoming worse, John is becoming more attached to her. The more of a bitch she is, the more emotionally needy he becomes. I guess it's nice that he at least knows that she's abusive rather than deluding himself about it like a woman who tells herself that she deserves to be beaten up by her prison boyfriend, but his self-awareness doesn't make this any more fun to read.
Sorry, but I'm out.

Fair enough. This isn't a story for everyone, and I'm surprised more people haven't been vocal or unhappy about it. I got some of that on the green up until about Part 3. Midnight has a hard shell she's built over the years, and it's made her a hard to shell to crack. Many people wouldn't want to deal with it, and I don't blame em. The peeks we've had behind the veil are rather few and far between.
I know where it goes, but you don't - and to expect a reader to suffer through something he or she is not enjoying just to get to where I think it improves isn't fair, and I would not expect or demand it. No worries. Thanks for the input and explanation, and take care.

Well, that's a hard question for me, because I'm a very odd and picky reader. I did read all of Jacky, which I enjoyed but is kinda the Seinfeld of stories - a story about nothing, in a way. But that's kinda why I liked it.
Rare and Twill are both accepted as must reads by most of bootleg, as they got the ball rolling once upon a time. I'm all in on anything with best sisters, so I loved Zooma - but talking with the writer, I think that's gonna lay where it landed rather than be finished.
Apuljiyack is another good one. And Castafae has a whole collection of recent boots being updates such as Radio and Reign.

Yeah, I was limited to three tags, and since romance of any inkling doesn't start to creep in until later mid to late Part 3 of the green and we just wrapped up the equivalent of Part 2, I picked Mystery more befitting.
I was in a conundrum on the Sex tag - because the story contains it and needs the M rating as a result, but would otherwise be T. Thought it would be odd to make it M just for profanity, but to list it T and change it later would be worse.
I'll probably ditch the Mystery tag and add Romance once we start getting somewhere more suitable. Right now sure isn't it. The MC is just kinda a fool right now.
I've noticed that while the "regular" pony bot products are mentioned in every chapter, we never actually see one, not even a commercial. Always in passing comments or eluded to through some grimdark images of a shunned corner of the junkyard. While it's highly improbable one of the customers will walk in with a pony following them, there's going out into the wider world for such a rare opportunity. A bit like encountering someone next to you with a foldable phone these days, the cutting edge of tech and material wealth.
Tho, in this world I suspect foldables are so passe, and holographic is the new hotness in personal tech... unless we skipped that and just went for jamming the phone into the skull.
Japan probably has Pokemon or anime magical girls/maids. (Well, I mean, they do now, but they would be far more interactive and stationed at every entryway to greet the customers)

I don't know if I call her a ass, she's a stereotypical tsundere. Once the Mc with some help breaks past her ice cold demeanor all the way she'll be a mushy romantic pone with some bite left over. No idea where you're blabbering about her being a asshole and abusive or whatever but I guess you view it differently the me Idk?
Another great chapter and further plot developments, still gonna want some reaction to her seeing and interacting with a "dumb" pony that teddy owns/loves. Also I feel as if they need another person/pony to shake up the duo in the scrape yard,idk add a Lil spice make the glorified garage house they live in more alive ? Just my opinion

Well, there is a new world to explore for Midnight to explore now. Could be some of that venturing out sooner rather than later... Should be interesting.

While I thought psychopath was a bit harsh of a term for Midnight, 11807851 isn't wrong. For every step Midnight seems to take forward, she dishes out another bout of anger or ire toward the MC that frankly isn't warranted. What some see as tsundere behavior, others aren't going to see it in a good light - or beyond typical tsundere, which I can understand.
Above all, Midnight clearly doesn't know how to handle stress or frustration in a healthy manner. The last two updates when she's blown up - even though the MC has calmed her - has been a good demonstration of tthat. When one has a wall built around themselves that thick and unwilling to adjust out of stubbornness or fear, there really isn't going to be much pleasant about it. Our MC seems to think he can get through to her somehow, and he's willing to stick it out.
Whether the reader wants to endure when they just don't find the character appealing - well, who am I to say they're wrong? I've dropped stories because I didn't like how a character was acting or portrayed, I'm sure most of us have. Could said character have changed for the better? Very possible - but again, there needs to be some attachment to the story to want to put up with the sourness. Sometimes the draw isn't there to do so, and in my case, I haven't done that for at least one reader.

Difference of perspective i think. No beef I just disagree but I understand where he's on that train of thought, I too drop stories for small things but after reading for so long I only drop tropey by the number stories while I bloodhound sniff out and track anything that's new,fresh and unique.
Honesty I personallly wouldn't drop this story just because of nightmares attitude, lord knows there's a shortage of good stories to read I can ignore some red flags.

I see it as serious psychological issues. She's not some girl with Daddy issues, or she fell in with the wrong people, she's a failed(?) lab experiment that was thrown out with the trash. She never had a social life and thus has no framework for her thoughts that we, as social beings grew up with. That she's not feral or was not just tossed in the lab's incinerator is an achievement.
I also find it humorous that like departing flights, some people must announce they're leaving.
So cute 😍
(note: by the time of this post, the next chapter has already been released)
People are talking about Midnight's attitude, demeanor, and John's falling for her. One person voiced their dislike for it (which is weird because that's 90% of what this story is about [8% cars, and 2% sci-fi robot ponies]).
What I want to know is: how does Midnight understand and know how to use swears and slurs. Who taught her that?
She uses "fuck" in the correct context and understands when John says that explaining his feelings is "gay." Then says he more or less is a "bitch."
Did she download urban dictionary or something? And even if so, putting together the context on the level of an adult would take more than wrote knowledge.
Just curious more than anything.

The chips have integrated language (must do, since a level of conversation and intelligent interactivity from the bots has been implied before), so it would be pretty easy to integrate a few words like that. It would be no more of a challenge than making the bots say pretty much anything else. Just a question of which dev got bored and thought it would be funny. I have seen weirder stuff hidden in proprietary software.

I've not gotten far enough for some of the little one shots that give a glimpse into the past - but this gets hinted at in at least one of em. Aside from what Midnight would have overheard living in the junkyard and getting some understanding of language that way, where she came from wasn't particularly family friendly. Her 'project manager' was not a pleasant person in general, and had quite a bit of sailor in him in regards to curses.
Captain America - I understood that reference
Awesome. Can't wait for the first date.
Very interesting, character development for both.
He's coming into a hidden truth: lust with the body, love with the soul.
But good gravy is he touch starved to put up with this much trauma, and yet there's no real way to get better outside help, is there?
