I was gonna write up a history of the word “queer” in response to nitrus-baro but I fucked up and closed the Tumblr app process on my iPad, losing the whole thing.
Do you worry that your audience doesn't get the same story out of the one you're telling?
Absolutely.
But that’s just how it works, I guess. What one person sees and reads out of a story can be quite different than what someone else sees. And whatever they think is fine with me as long as they can enjoy it somewhat.
Why is Sweetie Belle such a bitch in Post-Crusade? Sorry if I offend. It just seems a little ooc, I guess.
Ahhh I love this question. Mainly because the answer is terrible.
I attribute it to writing evolution. I made the first PC comic as an in-joke between me and a friend and the Sweetie I used there became the base of what she’d become later. My intention was for her to be an inverted and exaggerated form of her canon self.
Back then, the assumption was that Sweetie was airheaded and naive. So I made her more clever and uh, a bit more, suggestive? Deviant, maybe?
After the Desert Sub-arc, I started opting for a harsher Sweetie. Direct and definitely not her bubbly self, essentially. The show progressed as well and I grabbed some of canon Sweetie’s new traits, like her manipulations and always having some sort of plan.
The result is what you see here.
Here’s the terrible part. As for the in-story reason, that’s kinda protected at the moment. I’m saving that for a flashback scene in some time.
Hey Cactus, I think your recent redesign of PC broke the click-expanded-image-to-continue function, meaning that clicking an expanded image now just closes it without opening the next one.
Whoops. The theme author pushed an update that kinda broke that function. But it’s fixed now! Thanks for the heads up.
Well for one, you make depressing attention seeking posts on tumblr like a faggot. But I'm sure that's not the reason. We're all sad, get over yourself.
Right right, gotcha.
Wow I’m not sad anymore, it worked! Thank you very fucking much, Sir Anon.
Funfact: Post Crusade in the early days had a co-writer. Me and my brother (here known after as Chase) collaborated on a lot of the material that would eventually spawn into bigger PC ideas.
I should mention that he was 10, wasn’t really allowed to read PC in a weird twist, and I kinda sucked him into ponies back when that was cool. >_>
Today, he’s 13 and not into ponies as much due to his own original stuff that he definitely should post about someday hint hint. <2<
