ShinethePony


Shine, the story writing zebra, it/he/him, 22 years of nonsense

T

Some strange new ponies have been arriving in Ponyville lately. This story describes how they settle into their new lives and find their places within the community.
This is my Equestria. Everything I write in my other MLP stories will tie into this story in some way.

Note: Some of these ponies of mine are based on human characters. For this reason, I will leave their back stories somewhat vague and simply give the impression that they don't want to share all their secrets. I am also *considering* (though nothing's set in stone yet) writing some chapters in which these characters return to the human world, possibly dragging their pony friends along with them. Please be patient, as this story was never intended to be fully thought out. It's more of a concept story than anything else.

More things to note: This story contains sexual references, mostly from Pinkie Pie being perverted. (It just seemed to work with her character, okay. xP) It also contains references to events of a “grimdark” nature. Please do not read this story if you are easily offended or don't like dark themes in pony literature.

Now, Twilight, she told herself, he can't help that his face is scarred. It's not fair to judge somepony by their appearance. I'm sure Jeffy is a very normal, very nice young colt who has just been through some terrible mishap.

You could say that... :fluttercry:
(twilightconcerned) what's wrong Jeffy?
I... I can't live with myself. The things I've done, the pain I've caused...
what do you mean?
... I can't say anymore. I just want to be accepted... I want to change, but everypony just keeps pushing me away...
*hugs Jeffy* It'll be okay. You'll be able to make some friends here, I just know it :twilightsmile:
*sniffs* You... You really think so?
I know so.
Thanks Twilight :pinkiesad2:

He's a unicorn. If he didn't want the scars, don't you think he could have just healed himself with magic and been pretty again?

:pinkiecrazy: But I'm already pretty :pinkiecrazy:

Pretty good. I'm glad you did post this. It looks like this is one story I'll be aching to read til the end.

>not PC or Hub or recolor or fanart cover
HOLY SHIT
ACTUAL EFFORT
Very rare here.

2013484 xD If you're talking about that cover art there, then I am sure you must be using sarcasm, because that is nothing but a screen-capture of a bunch of avatars from Whirled.com (I made the Jeffy one of course, so sure there's effort there, but mostly it's just a screen-capture). lawl
It's only temporary, though. I'm planning on actually drawing a full illustration for the story. c:
I had thought about using the same picture as my profile picture, but I decided not to, since that might mislead people to believe that the story is all about Rainshine and Jeffy, when it's actually got so much more to it. -shrugs-

2013117 Thank you so much for the wonderful compliment, Wingless! -hugs- I'm glad you like it. c:

You actually looked something up instead of just going into PC and posting the image created.
That's a shitload of effort for here.

I'm actually a bit disappointed in this now that I've looked back over it. When I first pictured this scene, the details were a bit different, but I noticed there was a flaw in my logic, so I edited some things and left other things the same.
One of the parts that I edited actually ended up directly affecting how Pinkie Pie behaves in the story and makes her seem a lot more flirtatious than I had originally intended for her to be, thus creating the "instant-crush" that I hate seeing so much in other people's stories. I think I need to go back and re-edit this chapter so that Pinkie doesn't have an instant-crush on Jeffy. :pinkiesick:

Also, please bear with me until I can get the next chapter uploaded. I have it saved on my laptop, but I am, unfortunately, going to be without said machine for some amount of time (not sure how long). I will be writing additional chapters in the meantime, but I'm afraid I will be unable to upload any of them until I get back my own computer. :twilightblush:

2014823 PC? What is PC? (I apologize if this seems like a noobish question; I don't get out much. :facehoof:)
And are you serious? Most of the stories I've read on here actually have good artwork. Are there actually that many that don't?

Pony Creator.
Try lurking in the newest stories, or check out Fan/fic/ Theatre 3000. There are MILLIONS.

2014879 Ohhh....
Well, then... I use pony creator games sometimes for images, just for fun, but I don't just hit the randomize button and use them in place of my own art. That's just plain laziness (and not even the awesome kind). :facehoof:

2014790 -hugs back- You're very welcome! Can't wait!

Being the music lover I know you are (if you aren't, you are now :twilightangry2: ), I grabbed this song, thought you might like it :twilightsmile:

2016811 No gracias, hermano. This is more my style. :twilightsmile:

2017181
No offense, but... THE CALMNESS!!! IT BURNS!!!!!!!!!!!

2017203 xD That's exactly what I thought about your song... but, ya know... not calmness, but loudness. :yay:

2017222
You mean supercalifragilisticexpialidouchousness?

:ajsleepy: :applejackconfused: Shit I fell asleep while reading again, didn't I? (Not your fault... God DAMN I need to get more sleep :ajbemused: ) Anyway, I'll reread it tomorrow, too tired to make a comment on what I thought of it ;~;

2060524 Alright, brony. Go to sleep. c:

A good installment. Lol I would only expect Pinkie to have feelings for Jeffy. Overall still a good story, I hope you can get your computer back soon enough to see the next chapter!

I've enjoyed the story so far. I'm pretty sure we all saw Pinkie liking Jeffy from the beginning. Keep up the good work! :pinkiehappy:

2065117 Muchas gracias, Kumo. c:
So far, I've noticed that readers have been divided in half, with JeffyxPinkie lovers on one side and haters on the other. xP
(Some peeps apparently don't like Pinkie dating Jeff... -shrugs-)

I like this. It's fun, it's cute and makes me want to read more to learn about the characters. I'll be keeping an eye on this :yay:

2093062 O3O Muchas gracias for your support and for the fave. I'm glad you like it, and I'll be posting a new chapter as soon as possible. :pinkiehappy:

Dang it, I have to wait for the next chapter. :raritydespair:
Let me just say, this is one of the best stories I've ever read on here. :twilightsmile: :heart:
