My test for whether or not I feel successful as a writer is entirely based around whether or not I get a commentor offering a play-by-play of the paragraphs of each chapter and offering their thoughts on that. Love those kinds of people.

>fic writer makes a fic with crossover tag (mostly to imply the MC from the other setting will be interacting with mlp setting)>fic starts with above mc getting isekai reincarnation as a native child in mlp>the crossover setting is only vaguely used in 1st chapter as a bit of lore dump and very sporadically mentioned once every 3rd or so chapters>the fic mc and crossover mc clearly not acting same way, do not talk in the same site, do not share their specific problem solving skills and other than being generally more competent than 80% of the silly little horses around them they are not the same characters>it got to the point that each chapter comments starts with readers asking the writer to drop crossover tag and just swap it with OC tag>"nuu, guys, stop beating the dead horse, the tags are totally relevant"fug, I hate dropping a decent story, as for most part it was pretty good (other than weird OOC meshing of the cartoon comedy with the "realistic analysis" of the show), but the dude really needs to learn to either choose to shit or get off the pot.anybody else experienced a teeth grinding level of frustration due to writer deciding to be dumbass for no reason at all?

Three or so chapters in, Luna starts giving a loredump about a civil war her and Celestia fought in 1000+ years ago. Six chapters later, with no end in sight to the warfic backstory no one asked for or gave a shit about, the fic died.
>>43375152I'm man enough to admit it's the former. The guy writes the same goddamn premise every time and people just eat that shit up.
>>43388492Nearly all of his fics are commissions which I find bothering because he's making more money per time than me just by virtue of not doing any proofreading and not caring about the quality of the stuff people pay him to write because the suckers paying eat it up anyway.
Because "Injuring Eternity" was already taken as a title,>/FSBC/Fifteen minutes left, but I have Thoughts. Right away: I almost dropped it on the first chapter. While looking back, I don't think he meant to write it like that, but it was so horribly RGRE I couldn't stand it. Now, I think going that far was just a consequence of involving a barbarian goddess and a queen, but still—the initial impression was quite something. It gets a lot better about that later, in particular because the characters are written very well. They're effectively all OCs, and I don't like most of them, but for a fic about a bunch of clearly flawed ponies, it gets a lot of mileage out of developing them along the way. Clover's actually kind of fine, but I am not very fond of Barbarian Celestia, though she does learn to get better as we go (intentional on the author's part, I'm sure). At least when the fic isn't busy constantly writing about how much sex they're having—and on that note, the insistence on calling it rutting is maybe in character for BarbLestia, but it still doesn't feel good.The one exception to me not liking the cast's personalities is Luna: She arguably has even greater problems than the rest, but I can both enjoy her in this fic and easily believe this pony to be the one non-OC character in the story. If I had to guess, the prophecy is about NMM. This relationship will lead to Luna going NMM and he won't be there to help Celestia afterwards.And the writing here is good and error-free for the most part. There was a scene or two where I briefly became confused about what was happening (e.g., the hornring scene or the end of ch.8), but given the rest, I'm willing to chalk it up to tiredness/skill issue. The plot appears to be well planned out, too, but we'll see next week. As for the setting... yeah, I'm not really a fan of going so far with Earth parallels, but ponyfying them excuses the author. Oh, and for some reason the setting uses Earth + Forgotten Realms for its base. That's weird but alright.Last-minute reading->post writing is not really conducive to coming up with amazing insights, but I will say that the fic has grown on me as I read it. Especially the characters' personalities and seeing how they deal with their situation. Star Swirl is such a horrible pony, kek. Also, while the conversations with Pansy do leave a lot of clues regarding her intentions, the "reveal" still felt pretty painful. Ouch. That's good! I'm looking forward to how this ends, relieved by the lack of red tags other than [Sex]. Oh yeah, about that. Good for him, ha ha. It's still quite a lot, and so far it's not really how I'd like to see this fic written, even though it clears the bar for "I'll assume the writer's style is deliberate and the characters are messed up intentionally".Next week, we're finishing this fic and reading the short parody of it:https://www.fimfiction.net/story/369447/time-enough-for-wub
>>43388492>The guy writes the same goddamn premise every timeTo be fair so do most of us
>>43388492>and people just eat that shit up.>because the suckers paying eat it up anyway.Fimfic users are not human. But we probably don't count as human either, so...
>>43388771We're all "ponies," after all.
>>43388766I'm slowly getting over my insecurity about the fact that I just want to write the same basic things until the end of time. It's amateur writing for a reason.
>>43388766This is only true for some writers itt. Quite a few actively tried to get better at writing and increasing their range. Writing the same thing over and over may be good for getting views, but it's rather poor art. I'd also rank the majority of this thread's writers, current and past, above Leech.If you're here for horsefame, you're doing something very wrong imo.
>>43388771Define "human".
>>43388722I'm liking the story.Like you, the start sort of set my expectations on the floor, so I was nicely surprised when Conanlestia and Clover had some personality to them. Pansy's feelings were a bit too telegraphed, but I supposed that's sort of the point. All the characters have charm to them, really. Even if they're all a bunch of OCs with canon names, they feel like a more or less fleshed out cast.Honestly? I think my biggest issue with the story is the romance. After the way chapter two ended, I was gearing up for a neat blossoming love between Clover and Celestia.And I guess I got that. In a way. I don't know. Perhaps I'm too much of a romanticist, but I wanted something different. Not that what's there isn't good. I think it is. It's just not how I would've handled the story, and I think that's what bothers me.Eh, I'm still liking it, and I hope I continue to like it.And I hope that prophecy is fulfilled, but there's still a third of the story left.I liked Luna, too. But I'm not a fan of going from regular English, to that fancy English she speaks. I think it would've been hilarious if the story had started with them straight up speaking in Middle English and then just started translating it into modern dialect, but I don't think it would've been worth the joke.I don't think I have much to add. I'll probably finish the story today and write down my thoughts about it.

An anon said he'd write a fic about Applejack cuckolding Anon... I wonder if he visits this thread! If you see this writefren, please share your progress!
>>43388722Well, it’s an OC romance fic, but I’m still enjoying it a lot. The “Celestia” OC obviously has a lot more moments that allow a Celestia to shine through than The Tower, but much more consistently is too far from the real deal to think of her as the sun princess, regardless of any planned character arc. That’s not to say she’s a bad OC. I like her, and have been generally enjoying the other OCs, too. The canon characters are also mostly decent, and Luna is very good. The fic is very mean to her, but I’m liking this alternate interpretation of what causes her to go Nightmare. All of her scenes have so much punch to them. And speaking of scenes with punch, the “I love you, Ms OC” one was also well delivered. Very romantic.I like the ponifications of stuff. This is exactly the RGRE I want to see, and the maregild really sent me. The Starswirl-sisters-HWE timeline reconciliation is really creative, and I would have loved to read a story about their adventures with characterizations more along the Stickbug-9DD line.I like the prose, too, there are a bunch of poetic scenes and fun constructs. I also like the effect the author is getting from implying something happened, then ignoring it, and later abruptly confronting the aftermath.Overall A+ story, few complaints. The main one I have is that the timeskips, amulet or no, are really aggressive and confusing. We really do not know what the Imperatrix is like in domestic life. Like, at all. You can make the argument that it's intentional, but it still sucks.
>>43389133Human is in fact an undecidable term but I can’t tell you why for certain reasons
>>43388722>Injuring EternityI've heard of that one. Any good?
>>43389462No it hurts a lot to read
>>43388722>constantly writing about how much sex they're havingYou've blown this so up so much to complain about it, haha. There's one fade to black scene, and and all the rest are basically just the words "they rutted." Disrespecting the ones in the thread who expect asexuality from the characters, I think this is better than the option you seem to prefer: sexual tension. And not just because I like it in a worldbuilding sense: the lack of that tension keeps the story focused. There are almost no words spend on the topic by count.>the one non-OC characterThis fic didn't do as good a job with him as The Education of Clover the Clever, but he's still canon asshole Starswirl. Unlike the former, this was written after he was revealed to be such. And, I think Pansy is a good offering, to the degree that she's a character and not just Fluttershy with another coat.>>43389213Agree with this, except I didn't see the unrequited Pansy triangle coming. I expected the fic to be terrible, and put off reading it until Saturday night, but it was really engaging. I like Conanlestia's personality, a lot more than The Tower of the Fallen Star, but I don't read the story as though Celestia is in it, just an OC. It gets harder when Luna is in the picture, but I'm managing the doublethink so far, and I think I can keep it up.
>>43389514>I didn't see the unrequited Pansy triangle coming.Really? All of these are from Ch.2. Maybe I'm just too romance-brained, but this was screaming love triangle right off the bat. If anything, I'm surprised it didn't play a bigger factor here.
>>43389547Yeah, if I'm not looking for a romance, I usually don't see it, and this story initially did not look like it would have any use for a triangle. I missed the Appledash in the finale, too, even though it is transparent if you are looking for it. Rainbow's line about AJ working too hard on the farm read like a callback to Applebuck Season on the first watch.In those scenes, it genuinely looked like Smart Cookie and Pansy are friends giving Clover romantic advice and they want the best for him, knowing the scheme will end badly. The second one looked like Pansy realizing that Clover loves OCelestia before Clover admits it without needing a layer about her own feelings, and the last one reads more like her acknowledging that Clover should dutifully accept the pain that will come from not manipulatively and deceitfully holding back with OCelestia.
>>43389213>I think my biggest issue with the story is the romance. (...) It's just not how I would've handled the story, and I think that's what bothers me.When writing my post, I stopped for more than a minute trying to say basically the same thing you're saying here. I don't think I can criticize the story for it, but exactly like you say, it certainly is not how I'd write it. But at the same time, I can take a step back and acknowledge that what is here is good, IF you're partial to the way this writer wanted to write this romance specifically because it's Barbarian OC-lestia.>Eh, I'm still liking it, and I hope I continue to like it.Yeah, that's where I am now, too. And I feel a bit bad about not liking it more.>>43389347>This Celestia is dogshit anywayHey, there are people who like her a lot! I don't, at all, but this OC's characterization is good, and her learning and adapting during the story has been written nicely. But yes, while the fic is "objectively good" and I personally can enjoy it, I would've liked it more had she been a different pony.>>43389416>a lot more moments that allow a Celestia to shineI wrote two sentences here but then you acknowledged it later, so forget that. I started to like the fic a lot more when I just gave up on this being Celestia, but I also think the intent is to make her go from this to the actual Celestia. We've seen some of that already in how she acts in those later chapters.>the “I love you, Ms OC” one was also well deliveredYeah, I'll give it that. The fic does have some really nice scenes and the writing is generally of high quality.>ponifications of stuffThey're not bad (like they often tend to be), but they're too 1:1 for me to like them.>>43389514>all the rest are basically just the words "they rutted."It is a little funny that as common as the horizontal line character. But I think I was kind of soured on it because of their first, very unromantic encounter and the word choice in general. And yes, generally speaking, I'd prefer if there was more tension-centric instead, and failing that, even nothing in the first half would be preferable. And it's also weird how Celestia gets her fix (very forcefully) and is then fine with spending like 90% of the year in abstinence. Like what you say about domestic life, I'd like to see how she handles solitude for the vast majority of her time, but I guess that's not where the fic wants to go.>StarswirlOkay, you're definitely right. That's a good Starswirl. This I don't mind this version of Pansy (or Clover), but they just aren't characters in the show.>unrequited Pansy triangleI think the fic was sufficiently heavy-handed in showing it, but you also didn't really miss anything not seeing it until the "payoff" scene.>It gets harder when Luna is in the pictureOh right, that! Yes, exactly. Seeing a good Luna treat this OC as her sister has felt a little weird.
>>43389462Do you like Mono's style? That fic and its prequel are some of the best "classic Mono" stories, i.e., without too much AU stuff, so if you like or at least tolerate Mono's emotional writing, you'll probably like them a lot.
>>43389618I do not.
>>43389643Then obviously you shouldn't read it. Not all of her fics are like that, but, like 90%.The Creature is markedly different, though it's still Mono.
>>43389618I liked her story about Sweetie Belle trying to drown herself in a well.
>>43388722>This relationship will lead to Luna going NMM and he won't be there to help Celestia afterwards.I absolutely agree that "This relationship will lead to ... NMM". In fact, I think it's already started happening. Look at this passage from chapter 8:>"A sickly glow — as much the black of shadow as the blue of a starless night — encircled the spear by Clover's side."Luna's magical glow is, "as much the black of shadow", (NMM), as it is, "the blue of a starless night", (Luna).Now, while I may agree with you on the cause of NMM, I also agree that Clover, "won't be there to help Celestia afterwards."Just not for the reasons you think. I think that, after having spent the entire story trying to stop the prophecy, Clover is going to Choose to fulfill it.Look at what Clover says in chapter 8:>"We can't change prophecy — but we can control how we fulfill it."I think that after Luna gets banished, Celestia's going to be like:>"Good riddance."She's going to believe that Luna challenged her out of jealousy.And then, Clover's going to break her heart; he's going to tell the truth; he's going to reveal that NMM was a result of Luna's Love, not hate. Luna became NMM because she was willing to do anything to keep her sister happy:>And where is the sister who would give her life to keep the smile 'pon Celestia's lips?"This will be THE pivotal moment of the story; it's the moment Celestia truly understands sacrifice. The moment she understands what Clover has given up by using the amulet to make her happy.
>>43389462>>43389618Speaking of Injuring Eternity, a week ago someone released a long animation based on it.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Ce-fRHYUgY4Mono even left a comment on it.Hi!This is Monochromatic. I tried to leave this comment on Bilibili, but it seems I can't, so I'll just leave it here. This is INCREDIBLE. I have watched it over and over, and I can't believe it's something that exists. I've recently been really struggling with my writing and my confidence in it, and I can't explain how deeply moved I am to see this that my silly story inspired someone to create something like this. It's something I can hold on to on the bad days when it feels like maybe writing isn't worth it. Thank you so, so much for this treasure, and thank you to everyone who helped as well. This means more than I can even describe.

Woe is us, lacking any fics where Celestia is wholesomely impregnated and suckled in a way that isn't weird.
>>43390858God I forgot about that scene until you mentioned it. That series really went down the drain.
>>43390858>criticizes the taste of her breast milkNo anon here could be so brave and foolish
>>43390885That implied it started above the drain. When it resolved the central conflict of its premise in like two chapters you know you were in for a bad time.
>>43390889On the contrary the anons here are both prideful and fucking retards.
>>43390898Yeah, but we fold under pressure easily.
>>43390885You actually managed to get through the first one?
I really need to start my anthology of stories about the pregnant pair of princesses already.
>>43390936What you need is a 12-step program.
>>43390936What you need is to start killing yourself already
>>43390948What he needs is staying 12 steps away from any mare.
>>43390936There'd be no suckling involved in that story, so it's pointless.
>>43390936What you need is the names and addresses of every Planned Parenthood employee in your state.
>>43390858Explain to me now that isn't based though.
https://www.fimfiction.net/story/593068/leftovers"Plot of the week" is back after a long hiatus and proves to still be the featured box killer it always was. I don't even think porn or comedy/SoL could overpower "oneshot based on the most recent canon thing".
>>43391360What happened to Mono moving to her own site, cause she's had some serious output these last few weeks.
>>43391360>404 alreadyThat has to be a new record.
>>43391363>>43391470Women moment
>>43391363It's been a year and counting of Mono routinely going back and forth on her every decision. She started a copefic about her own depression and then dropped it two chapters in because she remembered to take her meds. She rebranded her whole account over her newest fic because it was "the best thing" she'd ever written for her, then went back to normal. Then she removed both that fic and its prequel because she was going to turn them into original fiction as her writing teacher(?) had suggested, and then she put them back. If you go further back you've got her rebooting the third entry in the Enchanted series despite already having passed on the plans for the original in case she died, which itself happened after she swore she was only going to upload it on her site, and her original webcomic going down in flames before it even properly began. Someone here joked we should start to track her routine mental freakouts to see if they're on a monthly cadence and it's her hormone cycle. Nothing she does will be as insane as her defending Rarity's actions in the show even when the show itself condemns her by projecting Mexican culture onto her behaviour even when it clearly doesn't apply to Equestria, anyway.
>>43391653>her writing teacher(?)She's in an MFA program.>the show itself condemns her by projecting Mexican culture onto her behaviourYou sound more schizo than Mono.
The guy who wrote hold it together is back after being inactive for almost two years exactly. Apparently he didn’t kill himself after becoming a wagie.
>>43391704Nice. I didn't expect that. He hadn't connected to the website in like 2 years.
>>43391699>You sound more schizo than MonoNo, please understand, Mono has repeatedly argued that Rarity's behaviour in Sweet and Elite was justified because social pressure in Mexico (where Mono grew up) works that way so she's not a socialite whore but a tragic heroine who was forced to attend those parties or it would have destroyed her social standing, even though the show clearly doesn't frame it that way.
>>43391799I bet this makes sense to the Mexican mind.
>>43391799>>43391813So the telenovelas were true to life...
>>43390884I don't know about the 'wholesomely impregnated' part, but you could definitely make a fic where Celestia gets, 'suckled in a way that isn't weird.I'm reminded of the ending of 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck. It ends with one of the characters breastfeeding a starving man.I can imagine a story where Celestia visits some small village that's had a famine, (maybe a monster caused it and she's just finished killing it). She checks in on the villagers and finds that one of them is dying from starvation; they won't survive the night. Celestia uses some kind of spontaneous lactation spell, and feeds the pony herself.If you'd rather have it be a foal, you could have a mother be unable to produce milk due to said famine.
>>43391894>but you could definitely make a fic where Celestia gets, 'suckled in a way that isn't weird.>proceeds to describe two weird ways Celestia could suckle someone
>>43391937There are certainly weirder ways.
>>43391940There are also less weirder ways.
>>43391937No, Celestia taking action to save the life of one her subjects is not weird. Regardless of what that action is.
>>43391951Is there a way to put my life at risk and the only way to save me is for Celestia to give me a blowjob?
>>43391951That is literally the justification in Alex breastfeeding fic.
>>43391959I don't think Celestia would consider you one of her subjects.
With Celestia, breastfeeding is always a slippery slope.
No one ever talks about being breastfed by Luna...
>>43392002Her milk dried up on the moon, sad!
>>43392002It's cause Luna isn't as Mommy as Celestia is, simple as. Even if I love shit where she's like, the patron saint of children and orphans.
>>43392031Yeah, Luna is more of a wannabe cool aunt that lets you get away with things so you'll like her.
>>43392076So you're saying it's in character for to let someone suckle on her.
>>43392168And encourage them to keep going. Something is sure to come out eventually.Don't be discouraged!
>>43392173To be fair you can induce lactation even if the person in question was never pregnant.
>>43392031I think she's Twilight's grandmother in Fae's thing, if I'm reading it right.
>>43392187She is twilight's grandmother because she fucked a clown in that, yes. But that was also a thousand years ago so like, half the unicorns in existence are technically her descendants. Which'll make the next fic being a Tuna fic where they're not related funny, but whatever.
So what is the grounds for non weird suckling
>>43392174>even if the person in question was never pregnantLuna won't stay un-pregnant long around me.
>>43392203It'll die on the moon like all the others, bro.
>>43392198Mother feeding her infant child.That's it.Also, be polite and look the other way.Or wear sunglasses.
>>43392226What are you supposed to do when Celestia does it right in the middle of court like a freak?
>>43392226I wear my sunglasses at nigh, so I can, so I canWatch a mother nurse her newborn child~
so are we gonna do that scootaloo crosses a road club thing
>>43392247I'd be down for it, but we should probably wait to see if the corpse manages to work out this year.I think we should be four or five people in already.
>>43392263Yeah I'm down for it too.
>>43392273I'm down on the condition that my entry can be M-rated.
>>43392386You could just write something good instead?
>>43392076That is definitely a Cadence behavior and not a Luna one. She never acted like that on any of the CMC dream episodes.
>>43392399>That is definitely a Cadence behavior You picked the one alicorn that's actually a mom and assigned her aunt behavior?
>>43392410Yes
>>43391894>I'm reminded of the ending of 'The Grapes of Wrath' by John Steinbeck. It ends with one of the characters breastfeeding a starving man.Thanks for the spoiler anon. Now I have to read it.
How's that writing going?
>>43392820I made a joke about 17776 but yuri horses and now I'm doing a cutesy oneshot about twilight and pinkie pie as self-aware space satellites because this is how my life goes.Anyway if something had like a uranium battery or a power source that decayed like that could you tell how long it had been running based off the non-decaying material, and if so, how exactly would that work?
>>43392820I haven't written anything to do with fiction since I finished my latest commissioned chapter a few days ago. I'm hoping to change that today or tomorrow. I'm so close to getting a long overdue chapter done.Say, how's that corpse shambling along?
>>43392820Slowly crawling to 8k words on this chapter. I only have a couple of beats left on this scene, so I hope I can wrap it up this week and move onto the last chapter.>>43392845I know there's a way to measure the decay of uranium atoms as a way to measure the age of the compounds, but I'd be lying if I said I knew how that worked. I'm sure you can look up a simple explanation online or on YouTube.Looking forward to Twinkie in whatever shape it takes.>>43392865https://www.fimfiction.net/group/204388/voting/thread/573396/2026-collab-attempt#comment/8151411It's on the fifth writer, I think. Hopefully they speed things up.
>>433928202k words today.
>>43392845>how exactly would that work?You'd need to know how much radiation it was putting out to begin with, but it's a simple equation based on the half-life of the material. Like the other anon said there's probably a bunch of instructional videos with examples on youtube (or if you hate yourself, college textbooks).>>43392820Locked in and shit out nearly 10k words over the past two weeks for the sci-fi contest "shilled" here a while ago. Cutting it close to the deadline so the edit is going to be a bit rushed and probably half-assed.
I felt really tempted to use AI again but thankfully I said no. I need to create a solid habit of just writing without using AI for critiques. I just started today.Also, wrote a lot of words the last few days. 5000 total
>>43392820Finished my fic finally, want to get it edited/preread, then uploading hopefully in the next month
Hey, space opera writer, how's your cover art coming along? Was my suggestion useful?>>43392944>It's on the fifth writer, I think. Hopefully they speed things up.Ah, I thought we were still on the fourth. It'd be nice if we posted in the thread when we finished our chapters.
>>43393114>how's your cover art coming along?I decided against it for the time being. Maybe sometime later but since the fic and the illustrations were done in full I kind of wanted to get those out first and foremost.I do appreciate the help, though.
>>43392845>>43393099You have to know the starting purity for the math to do anything. The starting purity isn't 100% for anything man-made, and you'd have to know how it was made to get it, which is the same as knowing how old it is. Aliens could start at 100%, but would use something better than an RTG in the first place.
>>43393124I can't believe Twilight is going to a space brothel.
>>43393114>Ah, I thought we were still on the fourth.no, that was you.
>>43393172Oh, so we're nevertheless on the guy I thought we were, kek. Alright, good to know.
>>43393184So when does he run out of time? Looks like you announced you were finished Thursday of the week before last. If we're going with two weeks, then he has four days. Maybe five depending on when he received the chapter. But if we're going with three weeks, then he's got another week on top of that.Maybe we should just ask: Hello, current corpse writer! Are you making progress? When do you expect to be done?
>>43393221We're aiming for two weeks apiece, three weeks at most.
>>43393224Just because you aim doesn't mean you hit. The corpse is like a toilet in more ways than one.
>>43392820I wrote 8k words worth of smut over the last week because a friend said I should challenge myself and try it for the first time and it's shown me how repetitive my writing is and I want to strangle myself. So, pretty good all things considered
>>43391470Wow, mods might have actually invoked the meta ban. Be funny if that's the case, since one of the newer mods actually left a comment on the story.>>43391704Is it a "I've found new joy and enthusiasm in pone" we're so back blog post or a "lol I remembered my password, wow my writing was cringe" it's so over blog post?>>43391894>suckled in a way that isn't weird>spontaneous lactation spellHow bout just a cute fic where she nurses her foal? All you have to do is not have the narrator sperg about about her swollen, aching teats for three paragraphs and you're good. That's all it takes to make it not weird and fetishistic.>>43391951>how do I save this pony from starving to death>teleport him to a hospital>use a food spell>scavenge the town for food>bring in the rations from the guards>go out and rip up some foliage and bring it in>use a lactation spell and suckle him>>43392820Steadily chipping away at the "RD trapped in a cartoon dungeon" fetish fic. It's at 25k and will likely settle around 40k by the time it's done.
>>43393710>All you have to do is not have the narrator sperg about about her swollen, aching teats for three paragraphs and you're good.Christ man, might as well ask us to climb a mountain and slay a dragon with those requirements.
>>43393713>Christ man, might as well ask us to climb a mountain and slay a dragon with those requirements.It's especially hard if the dragon you need to "slay" is waiting with her swollen, aching teats out.
I'm starting to suspect that this guy likes swollen, aching teats and is projecting his fetish onto us.
What if a story that's like a shonen had a thematic xover with MLP and the characters were renamed to pones? Pontificating.
>>43394160*ponificating
>>43394160>Son Gallopu, overwhelmed by the massive blast of energy, lay motionless at the bottom of a smoking crater.>"Son Gallopu!" called Celestia. She raced down the edge of the crater. She could see him breathing, barely, but when he moved his lips, no sound came out. "Don't worry, Son Gallopu," she said. "I know how to save you.">Celestia carefully positioned herself over him and gently lowered her hindquarters. Her swollen, aching teats went right into Son Gallopu's mouth, and he began to suckle.
>>43394081Does the pregnancy guy not feel the same?
>>43394254Anon... That IS the pregnancy guy!
>>43394404That's why I'm asking!
>>43394404>The call is coming from inside the womb!
>>43394160Witch in Broad Daylight.
>>43394254Eh, teats are nice, but I see myself only rarely describing them in detail.
>>43395340>reading comprehension
>>43395934What about it?
