    Having a fetish for watching girls dress leads you to a lot of fashion shows.

    ... and now a more fundamental question.

    Should this be told from Dash's POV or Hoity's?

    We don't get enough fanfics from Hoity's pov. Seeing his thought processes would be entertaining.

    Protip: Give up now. You're only delaying the inevitable. Trust me on that one.

    I vote for Hoity. It makes more sense in my head to see things from his perspective.
    I'm developing a game. Let's see what happens! Complex.

    Spike's an important assistant to the Princess' number 1 pupil, and more importantly unlike her he didn't spend his entire life largely incapable of socializing (you'll notice in episode 1 he's preparing to attend Moondancer's party). Seeing as he's spent his entire life to this point in Canterlot and evidently gets called back there on occasion (see Look Before You Sleep), it makes sense that he'd have access to the movers and shakers in the capital. Which, as we learned in Best Night Ever, he pretty much knows by heart.

    Also, you should tell the story from Hoity's POV. It's not something that gets done, and his brain is awesome. My word!

    The Hoitys have it.

    And that does make sense. ... I now have an image of Ponyville-ites bugging Spike for political favors.

    "Well, yes, I do know the head of the department of agriculture. But Lemonjack, I can't just get you subsidies!"

    Lemonjack, who is a yellow mare with orange hair and an Australian style outback hat, says, "All roight, see if you ever get a lemon in this town again, mate."

    ALSO I'll take that as an endorsement of the idea from Phoe. Which is a heck of an endorsement for any Rainbow Dash idea.

    Dangit, I have too many ideas. Stupid brain.

    Thinking out loud, here's the things we know about Hoity in my fic verse and the show.

    1) He isn't a perfectionist. He likes things to look nice, though, and will call out especially bad designs.
    2) He thinks his time is precious and doesn't like having it wasted.
    3) He puts on airs of being sophisticated, but he's willing to find talent anywhere.
    4) When he likes something, you KNOW it. He isn't subtle about his likes and dislikes. He saw Rarity's real dresses and he was unashamedly calling out during the show about how awesome they were.
    5) He has a tendency to talk to himself. Everything he said during the second fashion show wasn't for any audience.
    6) He travels at least occasionally. He just happened to be in Ponyville for Spike to run into.
    7) He's not athletic. At all.
    8) He does like to have things comfortable (see Doctor Whooves putting down the cushion for him at the first fashion show). It's possible he has a bad back, from stuff in Beyond Forever.
    9) If the Canterlot fashion world is as cut throat as Purple Pie thought it was, he either just floats above it all without noticing, or he's seen as "unsinkable." The idea that Photo Finish was an enemy was strange and surprising to him.
    10) Despite being unathletic, is a good slow dancer.

    Ditto. After checking ponibooru, I am now sorely tempted to write a crossover with Devil May Cry (Fluttershy is Dante, naturally).

    Sooo, I got around to watching the first episode last night.

    Reaction so far: the whole thing progressed a little too fast for its own good, and some of the initial characterization lacked subtlety, but I guess that's all right for a kid's show. I'll keep watching and see how it goes.

    What about "You'll be back" or "Your room's up the stairs, second on the left. Why yes, we do all live here"?

    Even if it would probably have to end with, "And it was all a dream", I'd love an episode roughly following this idea.

    So.

    Pegasus ponies.

    How well can they swim, on average? This is an important question for one of my fic ideas.
    The name is "tonberrian", even when it begins a sentence. It's magic, I ain't gotta 'splain why.

    That depends entirely on how lightly built they are.

    They don't seem to be any skinnier than other races, so they'd have about the same buoyancy from fat. And real life horses can in fact swim.

    The question comes down to their bones. Are their bones hollow? If the bones are hollow, they'll have a hard time diving or staying underwater.

    On the other hand, they've apparently got feathered wings, which can get waterlogged and weigh down the pegasus.

    Actually, I was more worried about Rainbow Dash in particular. It just seems fitting that she can't swim, whether through neglecting to learn or actual drawbacks to being a pegasus.
