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?

Thanks for the explanations! And I think I'd like to see Dinky more since we know next to nothing about her. And since this is supposed to be a question: How's your day?

My day’s been good, kind anon!

And don’t worry. There’ll be more of Dinky in the next chapters coming soon. :3

I was looking through your blog and got to your favorite part of 'The ship's sinking' and I noticed that little thing next to it having to do with cast changes. And, well... What when where and how?! Plus why?

Asked by Anonymous

What: Eliminating Rumble from the main cast.

When: Next season (the winter stories)

Where: I think you know where.

How: That’ll be a secret. (>offscreen and explained)

Why: Well, no one seemed to care much for from the start. And now that the whole shipping thing is done, interest will go even lower. I’m not going to waste time on a forced character that never served a real purpose. So I’m cutting him.

Is it permanent? Maybe. Right now, I’m not sure.

Will there be a replacement? I’m not sure about that either. Who’d you like to see more of?

Will other relatives from the post crusaders' families make future appearances in PC? (other than Babs and Scoots' adoptive family).

Asked by Anonymous

Yep!

I’ll be putting more focus on Dinky’s family and Apple Bloom’s family (since those scripts are ready).

I still need more material for Sweetie’s family (mostly Rarity). But I do something when I come up with something.

Why, hello good sir. You seem tired. Come on in, I have coffee and explosi- I mean magazines!

…

Oh poo, I forgot to buy some coffee filters. Let me just quickly go out with this unsuspicious remote control and buy some more.

Will there be another NMN comic with the CMC, or is the one with Dinky and Rumble the only one you'll make?(not that I mind, just wondering.)

Asked by Anonymous

I don’t have plans to make another NMN comic. Mostly because It was hard coming up with short stories involving the others.

No, I think I'm just on drugs.

Asked by Anonymous

So I’m guessing that this was you when you saw the changes.

Wait, blue line and white space? I see a giant roller coaster, and on the roller coaster are living cereal boxes, and the coaster is suspended in some sort of rainbow vortex, and there are loops and things, and the boxes are falling out of the upside down parts, and when they fall they land on a tree sticking out of the back of a giant tortoise standing on an elephant that is hanging from the top of the screen by it's trunk. Does that seem familiar to you?

You must be on that secret third blog I mentioned before.

I’m going to guess that this is the same anon who asked me about my DB username and he just saw my posts.
