I don’t think I’m coming back. I thought I would, but honestly I’ve changed a lot since I used to post here. I feel so separated from everything, I’ve lost all connection to it.
That said, I may as well tell you what was gonna happen. At least what I had planned to happen, which wasn’t that much.
Key story beats I had planned for Fancy:
. look for creepy Alicorn fuck
. definitely not fight it, the mane six comes in
. wake up feeling exhausted and unmotivated
. train ride to Ponyville
. sort of wallow in the feeling of helplessness induced by the idea that the mane six seems to be the solution to every problem, and dwell on the fact that if there’s a traitor in Canterlot then every friend he’s ever had is a suspect.
. Show immense paranoia and standoffishness
. Shooting Star is so obviously the traitor (he’s a red herring)
. Get kidnapped by actual traitor (I think it was Swan Song? Someone generally assumed to be a sycophant of Fancy’s from what I’ve seen.)
. Shooting Star helps and is all like “I hate your guts, but I like being able to sleep at night without being scared of someone working with some cult lol”
. They’re deemed mentally unstable, and it’s preferred for them to get professional help
(it gets less detailed from here)
. Look for the reason the cult is so fascinated in some dead bih
. Figure out the dead bih was A. a child and B. not a cannibal and C. Was connected to the pony of shadows in some way, hence the murder as an assumed permanent solution.
. Fancy Pants also has the shadow following him because he’s been through some bullshit lately
. it latches onto Shooting Star more honestly, he’s a pissbaby
. Him being a pissbaby is actually him being a genuinely Not Okay pony and fuck he’s sad
. Monologues about Fancy always expecting someone to be elite and high-society, and always feeling mediocre and worthless due to his expectations, hence the eletism he displays throughout the blog.
. Fancy Pants is like “shit I’m sorry that’s kinda fucked up”
. Shooting Star doesn’t accept apology
. that’s it tho, all you can do is grieve the person you lost
. but at least they can cope better now, and avoid past mistakes
