If I offended you, I apologize. I shouldn't have talked about this on the Board. I also understand the necessity of an objective critic, reason I'm not going near a badfic where I can't be objective.

Now, on futa, and that's a personal opinion, I find it involves a part of bad biology, especially if no explanations are provided, I'm not sure about why do that when strap-on exist, and for the last point... Why would male parts be needed to do femdom plus slash? I'm fan of several lesbian ships, so I'll say yes to these two points, but is the futa really necessary?

I guess my stomach isn't well habitued to the worst of fandom, and that I didn't see too much of the worst. I... guess that's a good thing?

But at the end of the day that's only a personal opinion, and there are seven billions of them here on this planet. Please don't take offense, and don't worry about this. Each people like their own thing, and, well, I guess I never saw good futa before, so there is that too, I guess.

New mission! by Iximaz on 2016-10-19 19:04:00 UTC Reply

Bad Slash and Sues alike abound in Ix and Charlotte's newest My Little Pony mission.

And a mini-interlude! by Iximaz on 2016-10-20 05:14:00 UTC Reply

The Aviator's family pays her a visit.

Some things just don't need to be said...

~~Except I forward the vocal beatdown Farilann is about to take.~~
Cute. by Hieronymus Graubart on 2016-10-20 15:10:00 UTC Reply

But what does the comma do between "Mr. Dives" and "admitted"?

Fixed, thanks. :) (nm) by Iximaz on 2016-10-20 16:26:00 UTC Reply

Excellent- couple of notes. by Aegis on 2016-10-20 13:48:00 UTC Reply

Overall, I thought it was a fantastic interlude. Elanor's interactions are adorable, and her parents are exactly what one would expect (I'd like to see an AU with her dad as an agent, actually). Zeb being effectively the father figure, even if he is an uncle, is the only smart decision, as magic potions make really terrible paternal figures.

Quick notes I promised-

"He cradled his granddaughter and a kiss on her cheek."

and

"The Aviator took Elanor from her monther, and. . . got her under the Aviator's shirt."
- This is a bit redundant.

Those two bits aside, you have a lovely, hearts-warming interlude.

I expect great things from Elinorelisindrivar. She's certainly got an excellent place to start.

So this was all-around cute and heartwarming (so if that's what you wanted, mission accomplished). I think the two bits I liked the best were the thing with the quilt and "You're not running off to become an agent."

My only complaint right now is that I'm not entirely clear on why Alex thinks that Farilan and Mrs. Dives will get along "great" (all I gathered is that he's being sarcastic, and that the meeting will be not-so-great for at least one of the parties). And on that note, I want to see that meeting!

Ooh! by KittyEden on 2016-10-20 03:46:00 UTC Reply

That was a great mission- I haven't read many recently, so this was a particular delight for me. :D

Also hell yeah more casual LGBTQ+ representation I approve of this

Aw, thanks. ^^; by Iximaz on 2016-10-20 03:49:00 UTC Reply

I figured, well, if Ix is a self-insert, it only made sense. Glad to know you approve. :3

Well, that was unexpected. by Hardric on 2016-10-19 21:14:00 UTC Reply

I... guess that disguises and potential access to genderbending methods could indeed be interesting for a genderfluid character (Hello, Tedd). Honestly, I'm curious to see how it will develop.

And thanks Celestia and Luna, that thing is dead. I almost forgot how much Bad Slash could be disturbing. More lava baths, please.

I'm still not sure how much disguises will be used. by Iximaz on 2016-10-20 03:51:00 UTC Reply

Then again, Laburnum/Hemlock used it quite a bit for a similar(ish) reason, so who knows?

*hands over brain bleach* Just return that when you're finished, I'm still trying to get Luna-with-male-parts out of my head...

The irony... by Cat-on-the-Keyboard on 2016-10-27 06:29:00 UTC Reply

Criticizing the Sue-wraith for using magic to give herself a penis when Ix had just done the exact same thing (well, he used the Disguise Generator, but DoSAT does get its name from the fact that its gadgets are indistinguishable from magic).

*hides under table* I'm joking; I do understand that the situations were as different as could possibly be. But the narrative parallel was noticeable, making this an interesting choice of fic for the first mission with Ix as a guy.

Also, question: I don't see why Ix had to be a mare for the plan to work? Couldn't Charlotte have done it? Or why not make the Sue copy his stallion body, since clearly this isn't a fic where people have problems with random body morphing? Hasn't Ix had to deal with enough dysphoria in his life?

--Key laughed very hard at that scene, don't be mistaken. Especially the part where he hits himself and starts complaining about how much it hurt. And the bit where he did the Funky Chicken. And...
*downs the brain bleach* Eugh... by Hardric on 2016-10-20 19:38:00 UTC Reply

Incest futa, the only thing worst than futa...

How can people be attracted by things like this?

Warning: Discussion of very NSFW things and personal tastes by Tira on 2016-10-21 04:37:00 UTC Reply

I'm not going to argue that that scene wasn't gross. And personally, incest makes my skin crawl, and I can't comprehend why anyone would want to picture a sex scene between a pair of talking cartoon horses. But it's also important to remember that YKINMK, and that going around making blanket statements about fetishes is kind of a bad idea.

I think the article linked above makes a really good point, which is that it's really important to judge something not based on how much you like or dislike a thing, especially a potentially-sexy thing, but on how good it is, objectively speaking. Does it make sense with consideration to the setting and characters? Is it well-written? In this case, the answer is objectively no on both parts, and I doubt it would ever be true with regards to the former. But if you allow your gut reaction to a kink or a pairing dominate your response, especially as a sporker, you're not really approaching it fairly.

Also, I don't really understand what's so bad about futa. Leaving aside the issue of trans or intersex characters (because that's not relevant to this specific instance, or, to be honest, most instances, of futanari porn), it's not really that different from a strap-on, except with actual sensation involved on the wielder's end. I guess maybe I'm kind of biased, because I actually do enjoy some futa-on-male doujins. Slash plus femdom? Yes, please! And frankly, even incestuous futa cartoon horses are fairly mild next to some of the things that can be found in Bleepfic.

Another response in this NSFW part of the thread by Cat-on-the-Keyboard on 2016-10-27 07:08:00 UTC Reply

Because rhetorical expressions of ignorance are still expressions of ignorance.

Why would one go to all the trouble of growing a fleshy dingalingadingdong when strap-ons exist? I can think of a few reasons.
1) As Tira mentioned earlier, so that both parties can feel what's happening.
2) As in the fic, so that one party can impregnate the other. I'm not sure that's a good reason, though.
3) Some women get turned on by the idea of temporarily having a penis. People get turned on by a lot of things. Rule 34.

--Key, always trying to be helpful!
Ehehe... by Tira on 2016-10-21 14:46:00 UTC Reply

I feel like any more explanation on the subject would be inappropriate for this locale, so I'll just clarify that by "slash" I specifically meant yaoi.

Wait, how long has Ix been a guy? by eatpraylove on 2016-10-19 20:24:00 UTC Reply

Did I miss something? Was this in the mass Everfree exorcism mission?

Anyway, good job handling that thing. I certainly couldn't have even read the fic, never mind doing a mission to it.

Nah, you didn't miss anything, Eeple :). by Matt Cipher on 2016-10-19 21:22:00 UTC Reply

That's how being gender fluid works. You stop fighting which one "should" you be and just let it flow... For some time you're a female, for some time you're a male. Sometimes you don't even realize that a switch occurred until much later.

OK, cool. Thanks for the explanation. (nm) by eatpraylove on 2016-10-19 22:15:00 UTC Reply

Oh dear Princesses, WHYYYYY. by SkarmorySilver on 2016-10-19 19:32:00 UTC Reply

Not just a terrible clop scene, but INCEST? Among the friggin' PRINCESSES?! I'll say this right now, thank you for killing this mess of a fic. I decided it deserved to die pretty much the moment I read that part. Gross.

Also, uh...
