Okay... what the hell is this?

Edit: I think I may have a better idea of what this is now. I think the source is stupid (Gentlemanverse? Fucking really? That's an actual thing?). I still would love an explanation.

Reading because of Maslow.

Not bad, well done sir.

1971304 I, too, will be reading because of maslow. Its funny... no, its not funny... its actually... interesting (the odds) that I just so happened to have looked up his hierarchy earlier today. did you know they've added bits? like transcendence... i didn't know until today.

1971452

Have they, now?

Do you mean the self-actualization bit? Because that was Maslow's idea, too.

1971586 Yeah, I figured as much now.

At least the author here is trying to make a legitimate story with this one. Yay?

1971586

:rainbowlaugh:

1971601

I don't know whether to laugh or facehoof. And I thought I was the one that Did Not Do the Research most of my life. Or maybe its a joke and I haven't gotten it yet.

EDIT: Actually, I decided on my response:

:rainbowlaugh:


Hey Typewriterpony, going to read this later. Busy day and I'm still writing that FH chap.

1972006
Did ye hear that? We write stories about "glorified man-whores" you and I! :facehoof:

1972044

:rainbowlaugh: Personally, glorified is a bit of a stretch. Harry isn't exactly swimming it like that guy singing 'Just a Gigolo'.

Also... :twilightsheepish: let's not expand this topic. This is Typewriterpony's story.

1972062

:rainbowlaugh:
Maybe, Edmund is a man whore (actually he gets paid so he's a man hooker) but he is also a decent man, who loves his marefriends.

:rainbowhuh: Wow. :rainbowlaugh: His mind will definitely go back and forth on this, depending on how accepting he is of cross-species relationship.

1972588

Well, honestly, its 90% done. However, if I do update G4M proper, I won't have any new chapters to write after that. My mind has been on Feathered Heart for a bit.

Hey alright another Gentleman story! Loving the story so far, big part of why the original G4M's was so good for me was the amount of story put into it and you've really got a great start here. Here's hoping Matt isn't too neurotic about waking up with Raven instead of Becky.:trollestia: I'm definitely adding you and your story to my 'must stalk' list.

1972269>>1973768

depending on how accepting he is of cross-species relationship

Here's hoping Matt isn't too neurotic about waking up with Raven instead of Becky

uhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...

1977556
ahh gonna be that kind of plotline eh? No objections here, should make for a very very entertaining read.:pinkiehappy:

1977556

Oh, sorry. Its only been one night... so... not a relationship. Yet.

But my basic question remains the same... how accepting is he that he just slept with a horse-like creature?

*giggles with excitement*

I like this angle.

Good start, would have liked the clop scene to be longer and more fleshed out but since the idea was him being blasted I can see why it wasnt

Lol, nice finish for the first chapter, the poor guy believe he was having sex with Becky, wakes up the next morning to find Raven instead. It shall be interesting to see what happens from here, chances are that alot of juicy drama will happen, and most likely will result in Matt avoiding Raven like the plague (assuming he's not comfortable with the cross-species relationship). I can't help but wonder it was plan as Raven would seem to have the hots for Matt (seeing the first meeting that is), and convenient it is for Raven to be confused as Rebecca with hairstyles.

Different use of characters where its not focused on a Gentleman-related character, but begs the question in what kind of relevance does it have with the Gentleman universe? Besides the setting that is.

Anyhow, good work man, I'll be looking forward to seeing more of your work. Keep it up man:pinkiehappy:

~Best regards:eeyup:

1972588
After updating my other two stories.

1981247
Yeah, which is funny since jager doesn't really make you that drunk. Seems like there might have been a lot of stuff that went on between the Booster Bomb and ending up in his apartment, huh?

1982995

result in Matt avoiding Raven like the plague

That's going to be pretty easy to do, but it'll be explained more in the next chap

convenient it is for Raven to be confused as Rebecca with hairstyles.

Well considering that Matt was quite plastered, Raven has a black mane while Becky is a brunette.

what kind of relevance does it have with the Gentleman universe?

Chapter 2 won't so much say straight out as it will hint how this story is related to Larharl's Gentlemanverse (actually in a couple of ways, besides the setting.)

1983568
With the two points you have said, I can imagine how Matt's morning will play out to something similar to this...

As for the last point well, I'm in no rush to find out, just that curious to see how it will connect overall

This is nice. Drama and everything. :pinkiehappy:

Hm.

Next chapter. Nao.

OH JOY, That was quite the enjoyable chapter! I chuckled a bit when Matt was helping with Ever Ring at the bank, and was surprised that Jeff is in fact, a Gentleman and didn't reveal this fact to Matt. I say, you have made quite the connection indeed with the Gentleman universe, good job mate. :Two Thumps Up:

Also, the drama in this story is excellent, very big and juicy! Like at the introduction before the 2nd chapter where Matt, unknowingly made a wrong impression to Raven and didn't have the chance to explain about how Matt thought she was Becky while intoxicated, all in the while she thinks that Matt didn't truly like her since she was a pony (to which is true to an extent but was entirely a mistake and wasn't deliberate). I like it how when he talked with Rebecca that you made the character an insensitive character when he recalled the situation, and as well as revealed that Raven and Giselle are in fact best buds... talk about creating a positive, happy work environment for our poor old Matt huh? Interesting too that when given the opportunity to party again and drink to forget his troubles (yet anyways), which would mostly repeat in making the same problem, that he refuses as he learn from his mistake and won't likely party again anytime soon...

And finally, the confrontation with Giselle is really satisfying as how not only Giselle is trying Matt's head off, so Matt is trying to do the same as he is trying his best to control his rage and emotions. And to add it even more, it appeared that Raven had recently suffered a break-up from a relationship and is a state of more shock and sadness since her her night with Matt. To finish it off, in addition of Giselle using such language that made you think only humans would speak off, had ended the conversation with her getting Matt burst into flames as opposed to her. This made me wonder how well the pony language had integrated with that of humans, and as well as to why Raven would want to have sex with Matt from the first day they Matt (well actually I do but Im going to say it anyways).

Overall, very excellent chapter my man. Not only you succeeded in creating such a dramatic environment for the main character, you had also made him a grey character with him acting out like an actual fleshed-out person would that would be perceived as an asshole and insensitive at times. You my friend, have done a feat that no writer would have done to their main character in their stories, more so when that character is a human, and executed a well-structured character that have their flaws that not everyone is supposed to like and as well as creating the perfect environment for him to interact in. Your story really does have a great potential for what you have done in this chapter, and I shall be looking forward to see what you do from here for I am sure that I can be one of the best fanfics I have seen to date, as no story has create such level of Drama that you have created thus far in the MLP fan-friction universe (well none that I can recall anyways).

Keep the great work mate!:pinkiehappy:

~Best regards:eeyup:

Rick James bitch

Hmm, the drama, it intrigues me. Glad to see more love for the Gentlemanverse.

ever ring's scene made me think of a shark fin poking out of water near our poor main character who in this instance is a surfer who just cut himself, may never escalate to that but I'm a still think it.
this will be interesting....but I love every moment of it:moustache:

Personally, I'd have told Giselle/Becky to go fuck themselves.

He was encouraged to have something that fucked with his head badly enough that he thought he was fucking a human, causing him to do something he'd never, ever, do. Upon learning he had sex with a pony, he's understandably emotionally distraught, and repulsed, by the act.

But apparently his feelings don't matter to them, and certainly he can't be a victim in the issue either.

Yes? No? Maybe. I don't know.

Can you repeat the question?
That is all.
-Sturrn

So they drug him and manipulate him into sleeping with someone/ something and he is the monster for freaking out? If you switched the situation so that the human was a woman this would be some kind of horror story... I feel really bad for the guy that he's surrounded by hippocrates/ sociopaths:pinkiesick:

I do hope he can iron things out with Raven since getting rejected like that had to hurt but I also hope he guts Giselle like a fish.:twilightangry2:

2002006>>2002655

Funny how y'all are pointing this out. Next chap is up to the brim in brolosophizing. Maybe we'll learn a little bit more about ourselves?

Actually, no. We probably won't.

While everyone else is having drama over the drama, I'm by myself wondering... how does the Equestrian side of the computer network communicate with the Earth side?
If the dimensional warp is as weird as it seems to people jumping through it, wouldn't that really screw up painfully exacting digital signals? Laser, microwave, radio, even POTS would be all wibbly-wobbily. Either shot through on a carrier wave or someone strung a hundred feet of cat6 through the portal.

Then again, this probably has nothing to do with the story so before I'm told to shut up about it. I'll shut up now. :twilightsmile:

2002688 I'm looking forward to that. I'll be honest, even I was surprised at just how angry this chapter made me. When I was reading the bit with him talking to the human girl I was disbelieving and angry. When I read the part with him and Giselle I was...well

So I'm really hoping to see at least some of these ass holes put in their place about the callous way they treating our protagonist.

God its like High School... I am also starting to hate main character, everyone knows if you wake up with her you can't flip shit till she is gone.

I've basically come to hate all the women in this fiction, and I find it strange that the banker trusts this strange mystery drug dealer at all.

Perhaps it's because Ive lived a shielded life from that horror story that people call the 'Bro Life', but I honestly can not understand why anyone in this fiction interacted with each other the way that they did. The part where the banker specifically thinks to himself "I don't need this high school bullshit" and then promptly falls into a metric shit storm of the worst kind of high school drama possible was most baffling to me. Call me boring, but if some lady that I barely known for a day calls me a shithead over an event that happened because of some mystery drug dealer which didn't even directly involve her, I'd either sternly ask that she leave me alone or flat out ignore her existence.

Furthermore, even after working in a bar/kitchen for over three years now dealing with some crazy busy stress and dealing with drunks, not once have I seen drama on this scale with my fellow employees. In all my dealings with bankers I've seen them to be the very model of professional interpersonal communications both on and off the job. Do equestrian banks have much lower standards for their employees?

2012741
All of these comments have me convinced I'm just that bad at character design. Reading through it again, it does seem pretty ridiculous, huh? Maybe I should write scripts for reality shows, or something.

Although when it comes to "high school drama" I'm thankful it hasn't happened to me personally, but I do work at a place where my fellow "adults", while not to the extreme as in this fic, do confront and talk behind each others backs and such. Though never in front of customers. I really need to get a better job. A lot of the personalities of the characters are based off of friends, family friends, and people I know from a previous college I went to before I transferred out: they're engineers, business majors, a chem major, as well as a couple of bank tellers (they have dealt with serious "drama" as well) and there's a little bit of myself sprinkled about here and there because I was that dumb up until a year and a half ago when I started getting my shite together.

Some people actually don't ever "leave" high school.

Nonetheless there are still follow ups due for Giselle and Becky. Sunbeam makes an appearance and hopefully that'll show I'm not a misogynist.:twilightblush:

Answer: Equestria doesn't have computers... unless typewriter pony set this in a more advanced timeline than mines. They specifically hired humans to help them develop their tech, and so far, they made a successful fridge that runs on the Equestrian type of energy, and making phones as well.

2005704>>2018402
The bank has self-sufficient, solar-powered computers (at great cost as explained in chap 1) but they don't communicate with Earth, rather it's more-or-less an electronic database that must be manually updated on a weekly basis with accounts on Earth (and vice versa). Since no one's gotten around to making a business out of it just yet, at the moment that's what Sam and Lucky do (sort-of spoilers but not really): they're more or less bank delivery boys. There's no ATMs and thus tellers/account specialists/managers have to physically input info onto the branch database for all actions. Since the infrastructure is so limited, Equestrian-side banks do not have multiple branches and so people/ponies either have accounts at different banks in different cities (and get appreciation), stick to the bank closest to them (and get appreciation) or keep their money at home/with them (zero appreciation).

2018868

Okay, I guess that makes sense why they'd hire humans for that bank. Still... that's pretty tiring. Even with computers, bank close early for accounting.

Really the only one I give a damn about on a personal level is Raven. Waiting for the next chapter eagerly :pinkiehappy:

Just out of curiosity... you read Xenophilia? because there's a LOT of similarities here... and tbh, i kinda like it

Hm, my mind took a pleasant ride :D
that was very thought out!

I`m puzzled at protagonist`s reaction.

Frankly, I`d expect him to be furious at Rebecca, Giselle and Raven. Something like this.


"Yeah. There is." The pony said in a more even tone. With a measured gait Giselle walked closer to me until there was just a few feet between us. "I want you to apologize to Raven." She said after a moment of contemplation.

"Alright." I nodded and agreed. Now there was just the matter of finding out where Raven liv-...

"I want you to grovel over how sorry you are that you took advantage of her."

At that moment, I finally blew my top. "Took advantage, you say? Funny, because from my place over here, that`s exactly what happened to me! Let`s recap a little, shall we? So here I am, a new guy, who knows of whats and hows of ponies from booklets and cultural seminars at work. On the first day of my work, I get invited to club and treated to a mix of alcohol and magical pony aphrodisiacs that I didn`t even knew about, much less prepared for effects. Then, while I`m mentally knocked down to the level of horny neanderthal, Rebecca starts flirting with me, knowing full well I have no chance in hell to do anything but fall for it... And pulls a switcheroo for Raven sometime when you all are ironclad-sure I`m not able to mount a coherent objection. If you don`t mind me saying so, this is about as close to date rape as it gets... which is bloody funny, because I didn`t think I`d ever get raped, let alone by pony. Want to talk about apologies, Giselle? Then how about you and Rebecca apologize to everyone first!?"

I had to pause to take in a breath of air. Somewhere during my rant, Giselle`s facial expression changed from indignant to horrified. I knew she would try to say something... So I cut her off. "And yet, dear, somehow I`m trying to keep things civil here. Trying to work things out like an adult, regardless of how unpleasant my situation really is. So, can you do me a teeny-tinsy favor and own up to your faults in this whole debacle? While I can find it in myself to forgive Raven, I`d want some serious groveling from you and Rebecca both to consider yourselves off MY shitlist." She turned around and run away wordlessly. Apparently, my words cut to the quick... good.

Plus one internets and a moustache. :moustache: Sam seems like a real lad-about-town.

Alright an update! One with lots of character/story development very nice. Always nice to see a bit of backstory info on conflicting parties. Definitely looking forward to your next update Type.

You're giving Matt an awful lot of power over Giselle's personality (given that you're only aiming to change his for your example) just because you didn't like how he reacted. In fact, keeping her own character intact, should he have acted that way, would've lead to a broken nose for him, at worst.

It's also interesting how mature and up front you made him (and how several other readers wished he was) and took note at what he should've done rather than gleaned who Matt is from what he did do in that situation.

Matt is as tough as a stick

I tried reading this when there was only a single chapter, and I found it rather confusing, considering the rapid-fire introductions to just-shy of a dozen OCs. After reading the last half of the chapter about three times to solidify the characters who are more meaningful to the story (the end of the chap.1 did make one rather clear), it was quite an enjoyable read.

I found a few punctuation errors, mostly missing commas in sentences, mentally putting them in becomes annoying after a while :D
Today>,< a literal flotilla of navy ships patrol
Taking my carry-on luggage bag into his mouth>,< he threw it onto his back
A few examples.

Thumbs up so far, will continue reading to see if it has a spot among my favorites.
