Mostly the title.
Well that was Funny
An excellent source of inspiration, and a fascinating portrait of the surreality that is a town close to Equestria. I just hope the Cutie Consultant doesn’t try to change Joanne’s name to a self-descriptive noun phrase. That’s edging a bit too far into cult behavior.
Also, dare I ask how old the princessipals are in this setting?
I think everyone has questioned their boots but just gave up.
... something tells me Joannes parents were more worried about her accidentally stepping on an Adder than any of the magic.
Well this was a fun bit, loved the matter-of-fact approach to the lunacy.
Reminds me of a Batman story I read once. It postulated that the layers upon layers of black magic, pollution, magical pollution, and general malignancy had sunk Gotham city into its own sort of demi-plane half-removed from the rest of the world. As a result the citizens were, not quite right, and prone to such eccentricities as personalized heavy duty gasmasks, a cultish aversion to direct sunlight, and innate shadow-melding within city limits.
While intresting g this story feels, rushed? I mean the main 7 jistmcome up and faltly tell Joanne stuff. Feels more like she should stumbled on to these things gradually, question them,then have the girls explain it like it's a normal thing.
Also I think being Knee High is a quality of "Hooker Boots", feels that that's more a design thing rather than a length thing, the heels are too short and broad for "Hooker Boots". I always assumed it was just the local popular style for teen girls in Canterlot as it wasn't universal. I know the Real Life reason was ho the dolls foot wear was designed, so it easier to make the shoes not fall off randomly.
I... I really don't know what to say about this one. Well, at least I can say that it was an interesting read.
Like, I feel stupid for not getting whatever message/joke this story tells. I don't know, maybe it's because It's late right now or something else.
Maybe I was expecting a bit more of 'normal person behavior vs Canterlot person behavior'. Maybe a bit longer, like a few more chapters with this girl trying to make sense of everything around her.
