But really though it feels like bad storytelling to have such a long story arc for the sake of introducing a love interest, and then promptly putting that love interest on the back burner. It's like "wow look at all that character development that didn't happen for anyone." I guess it got AB's crush out of the way and Sweetie got to be a dick a bit more, but it all felt like so much wasted time.

Well, in that case, I’m sorry for making everything so damn complicated and screwy.

To tell you the the truth, I just removed him from the cast just so I don’t get hell from ONE guy. Guess that didn’t work either.

I guess I thought that I could please them all. Pfft. I’m not good at this Tumblr thing.

It was unfair of me to remove a character simply based on one person and not listen to anyone else’s vote.

I’m working on the next update right now. So now I ask this: Should Rumble remain in the main cast, or be downgraded to a secondary character?

  2. asymmetricsolutions said: However, Rumble IS a pretty critical aspect of the story. Both his relationship with Scootaloo and the way he’s capable of pushing a story along with his character serve well in a comic where the three main cast members are rather snippy.
  3. asymmetricsolutions said: Meh. Tumblr is difficult. In all honesty, Rumble doesn’t function very well as a member of the main cast. His interplay with Scootaloo is cute, but the overall effect of his personality isn’t as compelling as any of the others.

  6. pvryohei said: I really like Rumble, and it was his characterization in PC that made him one of my favorite ponies. However, this is your story, so the decision is yours. I love PC, and I’m sure you’ll make the right choice, and you’ll have my support regardless.

  8. broken-pen said: I really think that this is something that you should decide for yourself. It’s you who’s gonna have to come up with ideas for what to do with him. This is a decision that I wouldn’t leave up to my followers if I were you.
