Sorry about the text wall on the third panel; it all seemed pretty relevant and I didn't want to cover up Diamond by splitting it into chunks!

Also, I do realise that Diamond has a hairstyle a lot like Cadence's at the moment. It was a mistake but it would be a little weird if everyone avoided the hairstyles used by royalty, wouldn't it? Besides, I've been coming up with a lot of hairstyles (and tiara designs) for this set of comics, there's sure to be some overlap somewhere!

Before people read into the wrong things:
- Filthy Rich will not have a heart attack or any such drama during the course of this story. "Doctor says I look fine!" isn't dark foreshadowing, it's just him catching up with RIAW's doctor* and said doctor leaning towards bad puns (which I don't think Diamond's into but she'd not going to get too angry at the guy who looks after her dad's health unless he messes up).
- Wacky as it would be, Snails is not dating Apple Bloom. Though it's not a major plot point you will find out who he is dating before the comic ends (she'll get the next introduction panel for this story, which will be its last 'cause it's right near the end).

* I know the normal fan name is "Dr Stable" but, clever House/Horse pun as it is, I don't think it suits him at all. I also like "Dr Heartthrob" for him but then it might imply Diamond's dad has a thing for him, which isn't what I was going for.

Just because you're not going to be asking her out immediately doesn't mean that you shouldn't be angling towards some way to spend some time with her outside of work. You've got history, and while she's happy to put it behind her in order to take a job, I don't think it's so far behind that she'll accept a date with the school bully. You're going to have to ease gently towards your goal, and I could easily see that eating up the entire recommended delay.

In panel 4, I think 'mostly of our time together' should be 'most of our time together' .

"Characterisation" is a move like Growl in the Pokémon games: If you spam it enough then even basic feels attacks can be reasonably effective.


Nice to know I'm doing it right though, thanks for commenting!

I suspect that Diamond will start to have second thoughts about leaving Snails after hearing this news.

Didn't she already have second thoughts?

Apple Bloom looks adorable with that hair pin and ribbon


I do hope Apple Bloom and Diamond Tiara gets together. Diamond Tiara deserves to be happy.

This is strictly opinion based and just off the top of my head but Diamond Tiara doesn't really seem like she truly likes Apple Bloom more than she thinks she does.

I cannot speak for myself but sometimes a dream is just a dream and she possibly thought it could've meant more than she thought she did. Also she hasn't singled out Apple Bloom entirely during the time on the show from what I've seen.

In truth, I kind of believe that this is because of her downfall in her relationship with Snails that seemed to be slowly deteriorating. To me she just seems like she's fooling herself into believing she may actually have a thing for Apple Bloom when in truth she's just trying convincing herself that she actually does.

While I'm not a big fan of this possible "couple" I do enjoy the comic thus far and am interested in where it ends.

I was just voicing my opinion out there to you.

I will be happy to discuss the plot once the story's finished, but right now it'd be a little hard to do so without risking spoilers!

Wait I don't pretend to be an expert in your canon because I only started recently but Is DT bisexual?
OOH and does anyone else think Filthy Rich is going to be getting the axe soon? I mean the fact he takes medication is just foreshadowing in itself.

Noooooo, Diamond can't lose her dad, not now! The sad feels would be too much!


And yeah, I guess I'd consider DT bi... I kind of consider Equestria to be a society that's generally not concerned about the genders involved in relationships though. I'd say it's probably more normal for ponies to eventually settle in hetero relationships but I don't think Equestrians would make a big deal about same-sex couples, especially not when they're still young adults.

Hey you're telling me bronybyexception.deviantart.co…
But about DT's dad you say "not now" but I have a feeling we haven't heard the last of him and Dr. Heartbeat correct?

Aw, sweet. And there was me carefully picking my words in case you're the type to disapprove of non-het!


And, well... I've considered doing sad feels pics, including one with Diamond Tiara, but it wouldn't be in comic strip form and it's not happening in this story. There are 6 more comic strips to go and nopony dies or gets hospitalised, honest!


Kinda thought you were referring to this pic's desc to bug me.

Splendid! I admire the simple black/white style you use; it really stands out when you add a colored panel here or there, like you have in some of your other comics!

HareTrinity In reply to hammer42 [2013-10-18 00:21:29 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I was worrying that maybe it's too... Grey? But it does make the coloured ones stick out, yes!
