BF (Keith Muse -> Four Muse) (They/Them)
The Way-too-lucky-for-his-own-good street rat rapper that takes on GF's Ex souls in his place.
and GF (Gabby Dearest -> Gabriel Muse) (He/Him)
The Dearest's only child who runs away, starts out really self conscious and scared, grows into his own person overtime.
The Souls!!!
Garcello (2ed Ex)
The second guy GF ever dated, had to leave after DD gave him a cursed cigarette pack that killed him eventually. His unfinished business was not getting to spend enough time with Annie.
Tabi (3rd Ex)
The third guy GF ever dated, died in a raging fit of revenge after thinking GF was the one who asked her dad to curse him. His unfinished business is his raging anger management problems.
Senpai (1st Ex)
The first guy GF ever dated, romantic sweethearts since highschool. Killed directly by DD. His unfinished business is that he never learned to live his life without needing someone else.
GF's Family!!!
Daddy Dearest
The most toxically overbearing parent you'll ever meet, a murderer in every respect. The antagonist.
Mommy Dearest
Really needs to divorce her husband. Genuinely a caring mother- too scared of DD to help GF when in the house.
The Newground's Family!!!
Pico (He/They)
BF's highschool Ex, still cares very deeply for BF though he'll never outright admit it- starts hunting BF and GF down after DD convinces him that BF is being controlled by GF's Exs.
John Captain (Tankman)
Pico's retired veteran Dad. Now drives a bus around town for a job. Almost stops BF and GF from leaving the city when DD holds his husband hostage.
Steve Captain
Pico's OTHER retired veteran Dad. Much more retired than John- literally stay at home Dad. Lost his arm when DD held him hostage.
The Spooks!!!
Skid and Pump
The little kids GF would babysit from time to time- actually able to see the spirits tied to BF. Offer's to let them stay in Skid's house for the night.
Lila
Skid's mom, not able to see the spirits- but happy to let GF stay after hearing about the situation with DD.
Lemon
Skid's step dad, able to see the spirits- unable to resist the urge to devour BF because of it- chases them and GF out of the house before morning comes.
BF's Family!!!
OB
BF's Oldest Brother, lives outside the city limits on a farm to send money back for BB and BF to live in a decent apartment. BF and GF are running to get outside the city to live with him.
BB
BF's Big Brother, lives in an apartment with BF in the city. Wasn't a Demon originally- but became one after DD revived him WAY to roughly- causing permanent injury to his body and soul. Can see the spirits in BF- but isn't told about them till they're out of the city because BF was afraid of giving him a heart attack.
Armaros
BB's personal caretaker. Was an angel sent to fix the issue with the city itself- fell from grace for the sin of pride after a misunderstanding caused him to falsely target GF and kill BB on accident. Now lives with BB as a form of apology and helps take care of him.

Amatonormativity fucking sucks and it's terrible that people make you feel predatory for wanting to have sex while not feeling and or desiring love. I have learned so much from my fellow aromantics as a demiromantic/grayaromantic.
I no longer feel broken for rarely feeling romantic connection or desiring love. Other relationships are just as fulfilling as romance and honestly can be more important in some regards EVEN if you feel love and desire it. Those are the people who support you when your relationship goes south! Honor them, do them right!!!
Support and uplift your aromantic peers, they are not evil, give aromantics grace. Aromantics are not cruel for turning you down, or learning they're aromantic while in a relationship.

I have almost finished my kelpie story set in Regency Scotland and I suddenly wonder whether the concept of kelpies (and/or water-horses) seducing young women is too obscure. The folktales never even determine whether the kelpie's ultimate goal is to kidnap or eat the women. I don't even know what my kelpie's ultimate goal is!
Of course the answer is that no piece of folklore is too obscure for me to gleefully run away with it, but I do feel like that one xkcd comic:
Since we’ve had Discord and Tirek, maybe it’s time for Starlight Glimmer? Is Twilight teaching her about friendship? Does Starlight want to change on her own, or is it like Tirek’s forced rehabilitation?
She is extremely eager-to-please since the identity she built herself around was apparently WRONG and OBJECTIVELY AWFUL. So she's trying to clear her mind, become a blank page to receive the Correct™ personality (which is Whatever Twilight Sparkle Says It Should Be!).
But sometimes her "original" self shines through... She's trying to push that down. It's BAD and SINFUL and and and-
I kinda want to hear more about LLT students. I really would love to see proper "redemption" arc for Flim&Flam brothers bcs even tho I see how often people are putting them in "redeemed" category it is very clear as day that they are NOT, they're still scamming people come on! And it's kinda sad bcs they have pretty good engineering and business skills, they can do better than that, y'know.
Funny you should ask...
[Part 01] // [PART 02, FINAL]
“Well I doubt YOU'D be of great assistance,” Flim snorts.
“Unless of course you'd like to offer your cheap performances!” Flam adds.
“How dare you!” Trixie scoffs. “My performances would be SPECTACULAR in an Empire that thrives on love and admiration! I'd make ponies so dazzled, the Crystal Heart would grow TENFOLD in power! While YOU’D spindle even a starving crystal foal for their lunch bits in exchange for your junk—”
“Ha, ha!” laughs Flim. “Funny you should say, Miss Lul-a-crook—”
“Because my brother and I have already revised a spellbinding, spectacular—”
“And might I add stupendous plan to bring Crystal Ponies exactly what they need! See, everypony knows Equestria has been exporting products to the Empire like pots on sale—”
“—of course they would, to secure trade for the rare crystals only they produce—”
“Where did they get that board?” Starlight mumbles.
“—but everything Equestrian is designed for unicorns!”
“What?” Twilight asks.
“Why, Princess, haven't you noticed? Everything around you is made by and for unicorns! From quills to books to doorknobs! Dexterity is a powerful thing, I say, I say-”
“And I assure you, dear Princess, that if the average crystal pony has any semblance of a spine-”
“-they’ll be furious to have their homes and buildings made with items for unicorns-only! And that's when my dear brother and I can swoop in and help them, with our patented, Flim-Flam-Brothers trademarked items, ranging from attachable doorknob modifiers for ease of door-opening,” they present a lever-like contraption to be attached to a round doorknob allowing anyone to open it by pushing the lever down, and closing it by pushing it up.
“To custom quill holders for the comfort of writing,” they offer Twilight a tube-like thing with a quill’s nib attached to a bracelet fit for any hoof, and she looked pleasantly surprised to see it work as well as any quill.
“All the way to paintbrushes, toothbrushes, mane brushes, pots and pan holders—”
“Oh my goodness that's genius!” Starlight exclaims, messing with the doorknob contraption. “I'd love one of those for my room! I'd have loved to have those things in my- er, in my old village…”
Trixie was rolling her eyes. “Yeah, yeah, they're nifty little gadgets. Big deal! They'll be trashed like the tacky things they are in a week…”
“No, no,” Twilight shakes her head, still impressed with the hoof-held quill. “These are ingenious! It could help so many ponies, from Earth Ponies to Pegasi to disabled unicorns or elders with low dental dexterity… how can something this useful not be all over Equestria by now?”
“Oh, Princess, you flatter us,” Flam smirks, though there's an edge to his tone. “Not that it'll matter much.”
“We've tried the whole “inventors who change the world!” thing, but… the world doesn't want to be changed!”
“You've no idea how many things we've built, from better engines to ingenious quality-of-life contraptions—”
“—but it's no use! Firstly because the average pony wants to be like nobility. Everything is made for that purpose! How many nobles, celebrities, princesses would use a Hoof-Quill? Not-a-one! And thus, our brilliant inventions are looked at in disdain—”
“Oh, so tacky, so ugly, so ridiculous! Why would anypony use such a preposterous little thing when quills, traditional and beautiful quills, do the same thing with far more finesse?”
Both twins pouted dramatically.
“And then, of course, is the classic ever-running mill of the bits…” they spin their board to show more of their writing. “Every entrepreneur with a brain knows how the world works, and sells ponies what they want accordingly. Why would any doctor, dentist or potion brewer approve of lever-knobs instead of round doorknobs? They'd lose over 80 percent of their clientele if they tried! Don't you know how many Earth ponies get mouth infections from opening doorknobs with their mouths?”
“Or inhaling chalk?”
“Or how many break their backs trying to use a single shovel?”
“Honestly, I see your point,” Starlight hums. “It is really hard to get ponies to change their mindset. Why do you think I had, er, extra strong coercive methods back in… ahem.” She looks away abashed.
Twilight hums, thoughtful. “Is that why you started selling scams?" Her gaze is sharp. "I remember your first time here in Ponyville. The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy, despite its misleading name—"
"Excuse us?"
"—was quite impressive. The fake Curative Tonic, not so much. In fact that's part of the reason why you're here..."
"Ahaha," they laugh awkwardly, remembering their fat criminal record for "endangering and exploiting vulnerable individuals", and rush to change the subject. "Why, Highness. Whatever do you mean misleading? The Super Speedy Cider Squeezy—"
"Makes APPLE JUICE, not cider." She raises her eyebrows. "It's a self-propelled, apple-picking, sorting, and crushing machine that would be invaluable on its own, but doesn't make cider. It can't channel Earth Pony magic and therefore can't speed through months of fermentation..."
"Well yes," Flam concedes with a sigh. "But Super Speedy APPLE JUICE Squeezy 6000 doesn't sound as catchy, does it?"
She snorts.
"Besides. Even a machine as ingenious as that wasn't able to impress anypony in the end! We couldn't even sell it to a good farmer—"
"—You know how prideful they are about making eeeeverything with their bare hooves!” Flim scoffs. “Plus, if they had a machine doing their work for 'em, they'd be out of a job... Ah. Brother, it appears we've made a bit of an oversight..."
"Hm?"
"We should've tried selling it to UNICORN land owners instead..."
"Hi, sorry," Starlight waves a hoof, interrupting them. "Are you saying you want to sell these things to crystal ponies?"
"Of course!"
"Indeed!"
"Well, why not sell the patents instead? You have a princess right here, and I'm sure she and Princesses Celestia and Cadance would kill to be able to distribute something like these across Equestria and the Crystal Empire, I mean, think of how accessible everything could become! Anypony would be able to write a book or, or bake more efficiently, or even..." Both twins laugh. Starlight stares at them. "What?"
"Why my dear, sweet mare.” They get close enough for her to smell their cologne. Eugh. “Why-EVER would we do that?”
“Sell the patent and you only make ONE cash-in of bits!”
“Sell the items and you make hundreds!”
“Well yeah?” Trixie snorts. “How's that working out for you? Heaven knows the only names the bankers know by heart are the Flim-Flam-BROKE-ers!” She giggles.
“Don’t you laugh at us! Anypony could have some bits of debt!!” Flam splutters.
“Making fun of poor vendors trying to make a living, huh?” Flim pouts. “Shame on you!”
“Starlight has a point,” Twilight intervenes. “I can definitely get the princesses, plus a few court ponies, economists, mayors, to take a look at these,” she raises the hoof-quill to show them. “And if they approve it, the Crown would be happy to buy a patent from you!”
One could practically HEAR the “ka-ching!” in the Twins’ eyes.
“Aannnnd you'd cover the cost of manufacturing?”
“Of course!”
“Aaaaaand we could get a cut of the profits from sold items?”
“To be discussed.” She rolls her eyes.
“Well then no deal!”
“Why not?” Starlight argues. “You'd keep things like these away from ponies in need for- for bits??”
“We'd keep our products from being given away like we didn't put hard sweat into making them!”
“She JUST SAID she'd cover the manufacturing costs! You'd be paying nothing!! You wouldn't be sweating at all!!”
“Well, making up the concept was very hard on us, Miss!” They scoff, noses up. “Plenty o’ nights spent awake developing every little detail! We want compensation for those!”
“And that's the price of the patent,” Twilight argues. “I'm sure we can find some agreement!”
“To be discussed.” They mock.
Starlight is outright scowling now. “How can you be so selfish?!”
“Nopony can blame us for looking out for ourselves—”
“So greedy!”
Trixie gulps. “Um, Starlight…?”
Starlight paces. “Can't you imagine how many Pegasi can't get a graduation or- or- or a higher degree, just because they can't write a thesis on time or cramp up their jaws trying? Or how many Earth Ponies can't get jobs because they can't float things with their minds? Or how much this could help earth pony scholars—?!”
“Oh you condescending JERKS-!” She shouts, magic swirling and popping on her horn… only for it to fizzle out in a second. She looked at it in shock, then at her horn, and scowled in distress when the twins sneered.
“Starlight,” Twilight’s tone is of disappointment. Starlight shrinks in just from hearing it. “Maybe you and I should focus a bit on anger management classes?” She lowers her head in shame. The twins look at her with gleefully gloating smiles, that drop as soon as Twilight points at them: “And YOU TWO could stand to focus on a little empathy! We can talk about patents another time, okay? Go take a break.” She shakes her head. “You too, girls. You've all been arguing all day…”
“Oh… yeah, of course…” Starlight face-hoofs as Twilight walks away. “Ough.”
“Tch. Don't get too attached, teacher's pet.”
“Don't YOU get too attached to your TONGUE, you vile duo of- of- dirt worms!” Trixie argues, standing in front of Starlight. “Say another mean thing to my friend and you'll see just what kinds of magic the Great and Powerful Trixie can really pull…”
They laugh, and both mares look disgusted.
“Sure thing, Tricks!”
“We're terrified! Maybe she'll wrap us up on magician's rope!”
“Or pull a murder rabbit out of her hat!”
Sneers.
“Ugh! Come on, Starlight, don't grace those crooks with your presence!” Trixie scoffs, nose high up in the air, and begins to walk away.
Starlight looks hesitant for a moment, but follows suit, allowing their laughter to fade away…
“I can't believe Twilight took in those two,” Trixie sneers. “Really, was she desperate or did THEY beg her to join? Either way, it's pathetic! Those two are obviously playing her to spindle bits out of her purse, and her fancy dorm room, and fancy cafeteria lunch…”
“They really aren't the nicest,” Starlight carefully agrees, following close behind. “But I don't know, I guess it makes sense why Twilight would take in… not-so-nice ponies.” She looks down, and Trixie notes it with an eyebrow raise.
“Perhaps,” Trixie hums, thinking her words. “Truth be told, even I wasn't always the nicest of ponies. Indeed, the Great and Powerful Trixie had her own mean streak back in the day… but who could blame her? Which unicorn wouldn't jump at the chance to be respected, beloved?” Her tone was dramatic, but Starlight could see a bit of an edge to it.
“What happened?”
“Ah… tis a dark tale, of evil amulets and trickery…” Trixie shakes her head. “But tell me about YOU, Starlight. Who are you, anyway? And why do you have a magic suppression spell?”
“AHA-ha!” She stops in her tracks. Then clears her throat. “Well, um, funny story…”
—---
In her office, Twilight Sparkle removed her glasses, waited five seconds after closing the door, and SQUEALED. Spike looked over to see her giggling and kicking her feet and jumping up and down…
“SPIKE! Spikespikespike, c'mon get over here I need parchment and ink and I GOTTA TALK TO CELESTIA AND CADANCE!! YOU'RE NOT GONNA BELIEVE THIS!! IT'S A GAME CHANGER FOR ALL ACADEMIA!!”
Is there any other ponies (or even different creatures) that enrolled in LLT students program? I know that Flim&Flam brothers and Trixie are the most "infamous" figures in that regard, but there were plenty of different folks that could be listed as LLT students too.
As of right now (season six episode ten), there's only six students enrolled in the School of Friendship. Twilight wanted to focus on them first before bringing in a herd of students <:]
Discord seems fine. So how are you really doing, Mr. Chaos?
"Why, what-ever are you talking about? I'm ecstatic! I'm out of stone, again, and got a brand new roomie to boot! One with a sense of humor, too! Ohoho!"
my shaylas... I wish I could tell their story... if only either of them were still alive to tell it, or had left a journal in a hidden study underneath the throne room of the Crystal Empire or something... ough man if only... /not srs
they were the original "I didn't want to eat with him but" HEHAHE.
