I know, right?!
It’s like I was telling Raindrops the other day. I got this great OC, Albert, but I never get to talk about him. And even if I did, it’s like, where do you even start?
If you start at the beginning then you have all this context but when you finally get to the thing, its impact is muddled. If you just go straight into the thing, then the impact has no context and might not even mean anything to your audience!
First person narratives are rough.

Lyra: Huh. Those clouds look sorta funny…
Raindrops: The picture is sideways. We’re in the middle of the vertical climb in a loop-de-loop.
Lyra: Woof. I never really thought about all the orientation-screwing those kinds of maneuvers must cause.
Blossomforth: You haven’t got a clue…

Raindrops: Oh! And I saw Rainbow Dash come back with Princess Twilight! Just as Twister and I were finishing up. I think they were, like, guest instructing some applicants with Captain Spitfire.
Blossomforth: I still can’t believe you’re in the Wonderbolts Academy.
Raindrops: Eh heh heh… Sorry…
Blossomforth: For what?
Raindrops: … Uh-? Lyra: How did you do? Raindrops: Oh! I did…! I mean, I think it was… I, uh, probably did alright- Lyra: That’s great! Congratulations! Blossomforth: Yeah! Great job!
lmao, yeah i know, i figured. I was just [reacted] with you. I started on a joke answer actually,, then i was like “what if i just humiliate her instead?? just fill out her boring request with no loopholes. thatd be funny”
Had a dream, short one as far as I can remember, where Bon-Bon told me she joined a band. And I’m all “Oh my gosh! That’s great!“ And she was trying to show me the kind of music they’d be playing and I’m figuring something slower and spiritual with, like, personal stories tied to them. Folk/Bluegrass-paced at the very most. And then she brings up a window playing this song and I’m just losing it.
“Bon-Bon-hahaha-what?“ “What’s wrong, Lyra?“ “HA-hahahahaha!“ “You don’t like this song?“ “No!-Hahaha-It’s fine!-Hahahahaha! W-… What instrument do you play?“ “I’m the singer.“ “HAHA~! AH hahahahaha!“
