I really need to double check these dates, thank you.
You wrote colleges for people to talk to, but I'm pretty sure you meant colleagues
I thought for sure he was going to mention his trinket and what he discovered. Oh well.
Huh, I got weird flashback to Skyrim and thu'um with that weird language change.
Well that is a way to describe entropy the death of everything is entropy
Also is the dragon language just English.
Finally is Entropy speaking in pony or English when she says berry
Ah yes when a potentially hostile and dangerous entity is at a public event I also pretend nothing happened and then leave to go home.... Did he think the changeling would somehow out magic celestia and take him out in a public setting AND get away afterwards? Yolo not sure if the character is a being a dingus or if author just wanted to add tension without really considering if it makes sense to tell no one and go home...

Well he thinks its a changeling but all he knows for certain is that she had an illusion on and also he doesn't want to start a scene as he's been trying to not draw attention to himself for the whole story
If Entropy ever learns of Philomena, I can see her teleporting in little pranks to the Phoenix. Or taking her snacks.
No Twilight?
Ponies watch Celestia. I wonder if there’s going to be any photos published of the princess talking with a random colt at the Gala…?
If the bracelet can detect illusions, can Shade make some to detect other things similarly? Hidden objects, locking obfuscation spells, plants emitting / absorbing higher quantities of life magic like the tea, or maybe buried objects like gems? Fish school radar for griffon peoples? If he made a rudimentary gem finder, maybe he’d get some super deals from his diamond dog friends? Danger detector! Lets you know when danger is lurking nearby but not as precise as Pinkie Sense.
Great Entropy is apparently the Reaper's pet that sounds like a fun time. I also can't wait to see him learn draconic because, let's be honest, that might be the strongest language in the world. (I also wouldn't be surprised if they switched over because they got more social, and the leader didn't want anyone to learn the powerful words.)

I know he said that he was going to but he didn't say why he was going to as this seemed like it should have been an ideal time to test it.
Isn't that the point of an illusion?
If it was done right he wouldn't be able to tell she wasn't young.

Thank you.

Thank you.
Still really enjoying how the story is going. I do find the plot the most compelling part of it right now, even though the slice of life style has kept the plot somewhat thin. I really do like thinking about or guessing where the plot will go.
I did have a couple of things I wanted to ask.
Are you intending to use larger time skips at some point or continue keeping the relatively slow progression? As I said, I'm actually quite enjoying what is being written right now, but there are still several years until the main plot starts. If I remember correctly, you said Shade would be about 20 when Nightmare Moon returns, and I think he is still twelve. Though I might have missed it, and he might be thirteen now. The current use of subplots and projects keeps Shade's activities somewhat novel, alongside his growth as a runic magic user. But I'm honestly not sure whether that is the best use of potentially the next few hundred chapters. It might put a strain on the number of 'good' projects that Shade has to work on.
I'm curious whether you intend to have any pairings in the story eventually. It almost felt like you were setting up Shade to be a good match for either Twilight or Celestia at some points. Though I'm not sure I want you to give an answer to that. I'd kind of just like to read and see where things go.
One actual concern I have is Shade's continuing belief that he shouldn't do anything that might interfere with the plot of the show. We already know he has had contact with both Celestia and Twilight, and indeed has tried to place himself in a position to be asked for help even while not proactively trying to address things. I think this was mostly a good position to hold earlier in the story, but there have been a few bits in the story where I think that position might need to be re-thought. I've quoted a couple passages from the chapter below;
In these, it is apparent that Shade knows that the story will likely not be followed perfectly even if he had never had any interaction with Equestria. The show and the world he is in are not quite the same. At what point does this mean that he shouldn't hold back from interfering in certain situations?
I think the Gala is actually a good example of this. Shade believes that he found a Changeling disguised in the Gala.
If he knows this world will not quite match the show, then he also knows that in a potentially 'close fight' like was had with the Changelings, there is a real possibility that the Changelings could win. This is also a situation where he has ready-made excuses to give to Celestia for having the enchantments to find Changelings. I'll list a few below.
If he decided to act by informing Celestia of the presence of a Changeling at the Gala, it wouldn't be hard to explain.
That being said, I could also see Shade deciding that it still wasn't advisable to interfere with the plot of the show that much yet. If he truly felt it was better to try to leave things closer to canon, that is still a reasonable decision for him to make. But I do think it has reached the point where he would take time to seriously consider if it would be better to actually take proactive action on some issues. Even if he chooses not to act, he is still making changes to Equestria as time goes by. This leads me to think that this should probably be a reoccurring debate he has with himself as he gets closer to the story and the world slowly diverges from his expectations.
Regardless, I'm still enjoying the story and am glad you are writing it. I look forward to reading more.

I'm going to be somewhat vague with a few things, but to answer your questions.
longer times skips? yes and no, at this point we skip one week maybe two, I'd like to up that some.
Plot changes? again yes and no, I'm partly intending for the close call with the changeling to have Shade revaluate some things, but that's all I'll say on that for now.
And yes I've had some difficulties trying to find things to fill the in between, but in the end I want this to be about more then just the main six and their story.
Will Shade start changing more? Well as you've seen he has changed things, but like you said this is still all before canon, and I personally view it much like time travel, the further back you go the more anything you change can spiral out and leave your control entirely.
So again yes and no, I want him to interfere more, but both me and Shade need to be carful with things like that.
Pairings? eventually yes, but I'm not telling.
I think that answers all of it, or maybe not I have a tendency to miss obvious things, that's my way of saying sorry of I missed anything, or if my answers are vague at best.
That's for your thoughts and perspective, also thank you for the advice in the past, and have a good day. :D
Neat. Lots of interesting things with plenty of implications there.
I'm wondering if your going to use English as the dragon language. Awesome story so far
Seems ponies aren't knowledgeable about matter and advanced physics?
Well... that happened. Must know what happens next. On to the next chapter. This story is goining very well and you have a nack for making me wnat to read the next chapter right now... (Sleep is for the weak....)
I wonder if ponies have the same insults as humans
Imagine if shade swears thinking no one will understand him and suddenly ponies are staring at him with shocked faces, hilarious
