Castell is depressed, but doesn't want to drag his mom into this. Dash simply cannot be without her athlete nature, but can't stand to see her boy so dejected. this leads into character interest v character interest type narrative conflict where miscommunication and lack of self-understanding leads to Castell trying to get Dash to leave him alone so she can live the life he knows she deserves, but Dash is trying to get him to open up so she can help him, but because she has the brainpower of wet toilet paper she can't do it right. then, when they finally learn how to properly communicate with each other in a healthy manner, dash and Castell try to figure out something that works for both of them. Celestia keeps a close eye, but because no threat comes to her perfect world, she just fucks off after a while. this story's enjoyability hinges entirely on how dash is a dumbass and lacks the parenting know-how, but is too prideful to ask for help, allowing antics and hijinks and all sorts of hullabaloo. >> Anonymous 03/02/24(Sat)02:59:52 No.40873350▶ >>40873362 >>40873637 >>40873262 Limestone &' Marble? the rock farm. yes. that's one of the more boring ones. but I did what I could: > rock farm > one of them cracks open a rock, finds a baby. > names it Salt.

Isnt Twilight here already an alicorn first of all and failing that, Celestia's student? Not to mention that the loophole would have to allow Filthy to either claim guardianship over a child he never met or ownership of a wild animal in the care of someone else despite him having absolutely no authority or knowledge in animal care. Not to mention the fact that Filthy does tend to at least be somewhat responsible when it comes to Diamond. He is willing to punish her if he notices things going too far. I don't think it would be reasonable to assume that this otherwise docile creature would just randomly hurt her daughter for no reason and failing that, why would he want it near her in his house if its supposedly dangerous? I'd say it would be very hard to make this work in a logical way. It could, however, lead to some sort of mini court case of sorts, maybe one where Fluttershy helps prove Tena's sapience, which would turn this from an animal attack to two kids getting into a fight. The outcome of that, however, would in large depend on the severity of how hard he swatted Diamond off. >> Narcolepsys Revenge 03/08/24(Fri)15:31:23 No.40890263▶ >>40890831 >>40889936 I understand. I'd actually like to work this through, see what's the better approach for this story: first, twilight isn't an Alicorn yet. and second, you see, Tena is classified as an animal, because there's already a list of which species are sapient enough. but given how many new species of monsters or animals pop out of the everfree back when that law was written, they simply put a band-aid, fix on it by saying any new species isn't deemed sapient until parliament deems it otherwise. this worked for a thousand years because all you could ever find in the damn everfree were animals and monsters, so nobody predicted that a new species would pop out of the woodworks and gain sapience. as for Celestia stepping in, I JUST don't see that happening. need I remind you that Luna is still fairly new to the scene after a thousand years, and modern pony society never knew she was even fucking REAL until like maybe two months ago. so Celestia suddenly saying "hey I have a sister by the way, and she's immediately going into royal power by my side!" causes a bit of ruckus for the government in Canterlot. shining armor being married to Cadenza around the same time that the crystal empire comes back, and also around the same time that Celestia personally trains Shining's baby sister? there's just too much going on for the elite and powerful to not point and shout "nepotism!" in a vain attempt to grab more political leverage or power. Celestia NEEDS to play it cool for a while. if anything, she would just agree to sort things out later. as for filthy rich, I agree that he's a better father than we tend to let on, but he's still very much like his original writing inspiration; Sir Robert Salt from Charlie and the Chocolate Factory. if Diamond Tiara wants this exotic new pet, it's only a matter of time before he cracks under all of the "I wanna!'s" but again, it's not that big of a deal, since I would be reserving this for Fluttershy's story, instead of Twilight's story. Tena in Twilight's story gets off scott-free in the span of half an episode, where he never really leaves the playground, whereas with Fluttershy this plot point could last for half a fucking season, because there's just so much more I can do with these characters when it's Fluttershy's problem instead of Twilight's. but again, I'd really like to work this back and forth between us, try to iron out the best way to write this. >> Anonymous 03/08/24(Fri)19:01:36 No.40890831▶ >>40891040 >>40890263 Wouldn't Mayor Mare have the authority to hold a court then on the matter?

I might even get around to telling you the half of it in the next chapter. > what makes Vitrification inabsorbable? many things, but the main thing is that it isn't a spell that is cast from a user; it's a RITUAL spell, something only seen in ancient history. it would be like bringing Balearic Slingers to a battle in the 1800's. but just as the skill behind a slinger would find it's niche, so too would Ritual magic, too. let me explain: standard casting magic relies on a users own mana pool and conceptual grasp of the spell itself, as well as training with the spell. and from that, the magic come from the user and is shot out at a target. if that target is Tena, he can absorb it. Ritual magic uses what you think it would: runes, salt circles or the like, occasional minor sacrifices such as rare herbs, minerals, or treasures, and an chanted phrase that allows it to work. like a satanic summoning, without the necessity for blood or evil. ritual spells don't necessarily require the users' mana, as they usually draw magic from all life around the area, including the caster and the target. it draws from the planet itself, essentially, and the life in it. the closer any living or magical thing is to the ritual, the more magic it contributes. so anything Tena absorbs from the Ritual spell will just go back to the spell itself, since it would still be drawing from him, too. >>40910273 it warms my heart, knowing people like this. maybe I should make a fimfic account?? by the same narcolepsy name? >> Narcolepsy Anon 03/16/24(Sat)00:46:50 No.40910638▶ >>40911662 >>40910438 it marks an interesting memetic quandary for Twilight: she was practically raised by Celestia, and thus raised her whole life to believe that she is a goddess and that everything she does is good at best and right at worst. it's all for the greater good of harmony, and if you disagree with Celestia, then you're either a shortsighted fool or a wicked monster. however, Twilight raised Tena herself. she believes that he's a well-meaning boy deep down, and she also knows full-well that these violent results are all because of her poor parenting, and her failure to demonstrate her love to him. it's not entirely Tena's fault, and Twilight wants to fix it. but God herself gave her specific instructions to kill him. is her morality based on a religious dedication to a deity she only thinks has perfect ideals? or is it based on her personal experiences in the real world with her friends and society around her? I like how this unique conflict is different from Tena's, yet directly interacts with it at the same time.

Charlotte is from my stories BEFORE I decided to put Wally in Equestria. in a world more human, Charlotte and Wally are homeless orphans who only have each other because the rest of the world seemingly hates them for existing. they really treat them like shit. Charlotte and Wally consider each other siblings, and together they have LITERALLY NOTHING, save the tattered clothes on their backs. they lie and steal just to survive, and they can barely do that. however, Charlotte is clearly the brains of the two. she's clever, cunning, manipulative, a great liar, and can weasel herself out of just about any bad situation. but her manipulative nature extends to her treatment of Wally. she exploits him, he does her dirty work, and she throws him under the bus constantly. but the rest of human society treats them much worse, so Wally being the big dumb kid he is believes that Charlotte is the only nice person on earth. Charlotte knows how to play innocent, she knows how to play dumb and she knows how to play smart. she's already in your head, trying to take something from you, or maybe she just wants to hurt you to get a laugh in. she believes that the poisonous world who hates her should be hurt back. she says that you only get what you take, and you only keep what you fight for. she's the kind of person to be your best friend for seventy years only to stab you in the back the moment she can finally take what she says is now wrongfully hers. and Wally is the codependent crybaby who's along for the ride that is, until he fails to protect his sister from an attack. there's a lot more to it than that, but that's the simple version. Wally blames himself for his failure and blames the poisonous society of people around him for allowing this to happen and for killing the "last good person in a world of hate." he dedicated his existence to three things, forming the WORLD plan: > becoming immortal > punishing the world that hurt him and his sister > finding out how to reset the world and reshape it to be the perfect world that "his sister would have deserved," preferably by adding her back into his new timeline. when Wally succeeds in erasing the first timeline, he is flung into the vast annals of timelines and existences, one of them being Equestria, because I needed SOME way to further my autism. from there, it's the storm king's attack or the Sisters' charge from ancient times that revert him back to an amnesiac baby. summarizing this all makes it sound kinda gay, but oh well. >> Anonymous 03/20/24(Wed)14:31:19 No.40922862▶ >>40923470 Saying that the human who ends up in Equestria has the same capacity for ‘resetting’ the timeline as Celestia is a very interesting connection, especially when you’ve already said the timelines will have some sort of payoff.

I don't know if I should use relics or Rituals. honestly, it doesn't matter, they're interchangeable, and if you don't like it one way you could EASILY imagine it the other way with minimal story-fanagling. I'm going to pick rituals, since I'd imagine making relics to be more difficult, ESPECIALLY making enough for an entire field trip's worth of students and staff and chaperones. > meeting adjourned. Cozy goes home with giddiness in her heart. she knows that if this ritual spell comes out over-engineered like she knows it's going to be, it'll be easy as all hell to send letters to Tartarus. > due to developing the Communications Ritual taking some time, there's room for some filler episodes, and maybe some small little bumpers where starlight and Glimmer talk about how magic works. I love that kind of exposition. > the most important thing about this filler is that it allows time for Kaiser and Cozy to bond further. the stronger the bond, the more loyal he will be, right? > maybe an episode where Kaiser gets into a lot of trouble that he has to now clean up, and Cozy comes to help him clean up. I wonder if she set that up? > episodes where Cozy just so happens to have "sprained her wings by doing.... something, idfk," and she becomes reliant on Kaiser's help for a good while. > but I had a GREAT idea for a B-plot of a filler episode; Cozy shows Kaiser a couple of Fillies arguing over a toy. while their backs are turned, Cozy steals the toy and hides back with Kaiser. Cozy lets Kaiser watch as the fillies start to work together to find the toy, and end up having more fun searching together than they did with the toy, and the fillies are happy. when the moment is finally passed and Kaiser expects Cozy to give the toy back now that the fillies are good friends again, Cozy instead smashes it into pieces, shocking Kaiser. Cozy tells him that what she did may have SEEMED cruel, but if he looks back at those fillies he will see that the result is kindness and friendship. it wouldn't be right to return the toy and risk having such a wonderful friendship be in jeopardy again, right? > this will help to cement the idea of "doing wrong things for right reasons" into Kaiser's head, and it'll allow him to try to rationalize both his and Cozy Glow's actions in the future. >> Anonymous 04/04/24(Thu)06:23:54 No.40968090▶ >>40967665 Golly is a good influence, obviously. >> Anonymous 04/04/24(Thu)10:50:29 No.40968706▶ >>40969381 >>40965744 >> Anonymous 04/04/24(Thu)15:13:13 No.40969381▶ >>40969686 >>40971315 >>40968706 >Cozy instead smashes it into pieces She was jealous of them having that toy, wasn't she? >> Anonymous 04/04/24(Thu)17:03:15 No.40969686▶ >>40971315 >>40969381 She is a filly... >> Anonymous 04/04/24(Thu)22:07:34 No.40970709▶ >>40971315 >>40971798 >>11 >> Narcolepsy Anon 04/05/24(Fri)02:13:46 No.40971315▶ >>40969381 I don't think she's concerned with toys. she only feels good from her superiority complex, so long as she can reinforce the validity of her idea of superiority >>40970709 I appreciate it. it's very hard for me to get things done when my body just randomly shuts down involuntarily 4-7 times per day for extended periods of time. that being said, I REALLY ought to get a FiMFic acct. >>40969686 she is a threat to society, among other things. >> Anonymous 04/05/24(Fri)08:03:41 No.40971798▶ >>40973402 >>40970709 >> Anonymous 04/05/24(Fri)13:15:44 No.40972396▶ >>40979457 mares >> Anonymous 04/05/24(Fri)16:02:41 No.40972867▶ >>40977450 >>40967665 Golly needs a paddlin'. >> Anonymous 04/05/24(Fri)19:23:36 No.40973402▶ >>40975380 >>40971798 >> Narcolepsy Anon 04/05/24(Fri)19:29:03 No.40973418▶ >>40973666 >>40975092 >>40980262 >>40981690 >>40967665 after those filler episodes, I think it's high time we get to those ritual spells. > Twilight and Glimmer have been working constantly to get this spell up and running. > eventually, they figure it out. > to simplify it, there are symbols drawn in the ground, the letter wished to be sent is placed in the middle of the symbols on any flat-ish piece of stone, and then you chant a phrase once, loud and clear as you sprinkle lots of water around the symbols and on the letter. the letter will sizzle away like acid and be delivered to whomever's name was chanted, so long as you know what they look like. > a bit of an ordeal, but I like going into the semantics and nuances. it's fun. > anyways, Twiggy n' Glimmy test it and it works like a champ. even if somebody were to botch the ritual, nothing bad happens.

I didn't hear about anything like that.

(anything connected to the neck represents slavery in pony culture, so they try to avoid it.) eventually, Trixie trusted a grown, intelligent, and more mature Pola to behave himself, taking the leash off. > she even used to let him walk around fans, but that was before "The Boop Of '87." > yeah, it's really amazing how an equine body can still live while in a state of constant 'mlem." >> Anonymous 04/11/24(Thu)16:22:55 No.40991836▶ >>40993049 >>40988757 >> Anonymous 04/11/24(Thu)18:16:27 No.40992091▶ >>40988244 Scary >> Anonymous 04/12/24(Fri)02:01:37 No.40993049▶ >>40995480 >>40991836 >> Anonymous 04/12/24(Fri)03:00:15 No.40993155▶ >>40993778 >>40994353 >>40996115 >>40990762 It’s considered a plot point in the first two episodes of Season Eight that the other nations only sent one of their species to serve as students being shipped off to Equestria.
