Oi, certainly feeling the emotions thrown around, and not really surprised at how far Maple had to go to make a living...Given what she had already said the notion was kinda up for grabs but I digress.
2384035 There were certainly reasons she would have rather had Accidental Death & Dismemberment take care of her family than going home and trying to make a living out in Lopeyette. More on Lopeyette tomorrow, narrated by our favorite rambling, retired sailor.

Drives the point home to Willow getting knocked alot of pegs trying to be the possesive big shot over a misunderstanding and by extension ruined Flip, only for the misunderstanding to now be true.
This is getting quite good....Well it was good before but Eh. Keep it up ploxorz.
Also,the "Ben's Bitch" branding iron was hilarious.
Aww, goddammit! I was shipping Stone Silence and Benjamen so hard!
... Here's to hoping that the whole "herd" idea is canon in this universe...
2589236 That topic caught my interest and I had a compulsion to give some of my own input on it, perhaps in hope to get opinions and peer review on the thought.
It may have been noticed that the concept of a herd mental has not been directly addressed in the journal at this time. This is for many, many reasons, but I will admit to the most prominent reason being that I simply have not decided if I will have this story subscribe to that theory. There have been hints at it being possible, mostly with how Ben is receiving so much attention in Songring (because of the extreme lack of viable males), but the major conflict of Chapter 51: Hearts and Hooves heavily opposes the idea with how violent Silence and Maple got with each other.
I have a few reasons to consider implementing the concept of herding, while I have just as many to avoid it. The factors that make it favorable is just that the show has shown the extreme imbalance between males and females goes beyond just what I've displayed in settlement life, and while it has shown marriage and "special someponies", the examples of these have been very few compared to the overwhelming examples given of the gender imbalances. Perhaps monogamy is a status symbol at the time? I could think of many ways to justify it, but suffice it to say, I find the concept believable at the very least.
On the other hand, I have to ask what problems it could cause. Would it even add anything helpful to this story? Honestly, I don't know if I can implement it in a way that really gives it meaningful purpose (I feel I'd either treat it unprofessionally or else it would be a meaningless insert). The only benefit I think it could give to the story would be fantasy fulfillment, and that has not been an angle the story has focused or I ever planned to focus. While it could be fun for some (myself included) to see it be so during points, it would just as easily alienate many other readers and, very bluntly, damage the respect some might have for me as an author if I handled the topic poorly in any regard. In summary, I just don't know if I would do the topic the justice it would require, and failing to do so could be more detrimental than me just not approaching it at all.
At this point, I'm still not planning to make a judgement call within the story yet. It will be a subject that I leave open to the reader's fancy until there is a time that I feel it absolutely necessary to say yea or nay on the topic. Thanks for bringing it up; I enjoyed the opportunity to share some thoughts.
Y...Ye... YES! YES YES YES YES YES!
