Twilight Luna 31,355 January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 Thanks! I’ve been working on chapter four of my fanfic for months. One of these days I hope to finally finish the chapter. Oh geez. I’m sorry to hear that. Hopefully it’s just a sprain and not a break. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 So after listening to Ever Eternity 500 billion times and nearly tearing up at how accidentally emotional the official music video is, this sprang up: The original idea was a kirin-changeling companionship. Then it turned into Illbug's current state fantasizing about how she'd be like if she were free of any ailments, then I got Trixiebug involved, and then came the backstory. Trixiebug wants to stay a changeling for however long it takes for... Crap, it's called palliative care, isn't it? I can't believe I fell asleep in death class... yeah I took a death class and fell asleep through part of it. I'm also caffeine up. <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Ganaram Inukshuk 3,682 January 27, 2019 Share January 27, 2019 Think about what sequence of events would lead to this (plus any diversions along the way): Trixie gets into a fight with Glimmy and it annoys Glimmy so much that she turns Trixie into a changeling Silverstream goes all like "pONieS cAN tuRn iNto ChANgeLinGs?!" if she were to see that Silverstream then discovers laminated paper and shakes it nonstop Thorax finds it a bit silly to see Trixiebug Glimmy's reasoning is "Trixie was bugging me" Trixiebug finds Illbug Illbug explains how she's always been sick or something Illbug doesn't want anyone to know what's happening Trixie sympathises with Illbug and tries to make her well again Illbug also thinks Trixiebug is an actual changeling Trixiebug explains to Glimmy that she wants to stay a changeling but can't explain Fast-forward to how everyone else finds out; Trixie's forced back into a pony, Illbug loses trust in Trixie, Thorax is blaming himself for something beyond his control, Glimmy's distrusting herself again, and Illbug's condition is terminal I want to integrate the quote "You can't blame yourself for something beyond your control" sILveRStReAM, sTOp SHAkiNg tHE LaMiNAtED pAPeR!!!!!11!!1!onefactorial Presumably, how Trixiebug was forced back into a pony was the same sequence of events that got her into being a changeling The original kirin-changeling version I had was that the changeling would transform into a kirin; something something the changeling finds comfort being with the kirin Now I'm back to Kirincellus Gallus can't remember what a kirin is so he keeps calling Kirincellus a carrot and Kirincellus isn't amused I've not written a story like this in six-ever and I still dread having to write anything out, especially storytelling Actually, I've never successfully written a story at all; if I have to tell a story, I'd rather reject all standard storytelling conventions first Options I've contemplated include a wordless story (basically a comic strip but without words) and a dialogue-only story (which I've found to be extremely difficult unless you write it like a play) <> Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could have been meant that way originally - she wasn't a popular character early in her reformation sequence - but I think it suits her; she isn't as geeky as most of the powerfully magic unicorns, and in fact would fit in well with the rest of the "fashion set" Rarity has achieved entrance to, which isn't really true of the rest of the mane 6 (Fluttershy aside of course, as she doesn't want to) Everything she does, she does with /style/ ᚾᛖᚹ ᛚᚢᚾᚨ ᚱᛖᛈᚢᛒᛚᛁᚴ - ᚦᛖ ᚠᚢᚾ ᚺᚨᚦ ᛒᛖᛖᚾ ᛞᛟᚢᛒᛚᛖᛞ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
