Description

Cover art for my new fanfic, Lightning’s Bet.
Story Description:
Max Taranis has set out to find a new life for himself outside of Ponyville, but that task has proven to be more difficult than he originally thought. He drifts from town to town, looking for work and a place to call home with no luck whatsoever. That all changes once he meets a fiery pegasus mare named Lightning Dust, who helps him find work in an odd little town far north of Ponyville. They quickly become the best of friends and things seem to be looking up for Max…
…except for the loneliness.
Now that Max has a tolerable home and a stable job, he seeks a romantic partner in this equine-ruled world, but nopony seems to be interested. That is, until Lightning Dust makes him a bet that she can find him a mare who’s more than willing to give him a chance.

I had this image as a background for over a year, it’s beautiful.
 
I do hope that one day PussPuss gets the time and desire to finish the story.

DUSTY IS BEST CAPTAIN
@Marble Didymus  
I really don´t think Suri is a lost cause, just a very difficult one.
 
She seemed to have been a decent pony before she moved to Manehattan.

Suri Polomare: [chuckles] I’m so glad you made it, Rarity!
Rarity: Me too, but everything just seems to keep working out!
Suri Polomare: Don’t you remember me? Suri Polomare from the Ponyville Knitters League?
Rarity: Oh, yes, of course, of course! I– I thought you looked familiar, but I couldn’t place it. You haven’t been back in years!
Suri Polomare: Because I moved here to make it in the big city. [laughs], okay?
Rarity: Oh, good for you, Sur—
Suri Polomare: Ooh, it’s so good to see you! And now here we are, competing! [laughs], okay?
Rarity: Yes, yes. Well, good luck!
 
 
I think she was genuinely happy to see Rarity again. But when she saw her collection she became greedy and also saw her as a serious threat so she made the wrong decision and copied it.
 
Suri has certainly much talent; she was able to recreate Raritys collection after seeing it only once.  
She is practically a less fortunate version of Rarity.
 
 
A redemption can work if these two find themselves in a situation where they are forced to cooperate (a friendship mission would be ideal).  
They would argue and snark at each other at first but finally Rarity might be able to get through to Suri, learns about her past and helps her to better herself.
 
 
The fact that they are old acquaintances would also help.

Then millions of haters will suddenly cry out in terror and be suddenly silenced.
 
 
@Psy Key  
There are many characters I want to see again.  
Suri, Babs Seed, Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Coloratura, Coco, Sky Stinger, Vapor Trail, the Pillars etc  
Maybe even Little Strongheart.

@genervt  
At this point, I wouldn’t be surprised if something from Season 1 suddenly popped up, like how those seeds that Discord planted over 1,000 years ago finally sprouted. I enjoy having seemingly irrelevant things become extremely relevant later on because of some very key points that’re easy to miss.
 
For example, what if Twilight has actually been in a coma since Nightmare Moon’s return, and all of this is within her mind, but it’s explained in such a way that these little, tiny details throughout the entire series are the key points to the entire thing?

Sleep isn't real.
Reading the comments down below, here’s something for any artists, writers, or whatever content creator you are who see this— Don’t stop creating. Don’t ever hold a high amount of doubt of what you do because everybody is different. You’re improving yourself and inspiring others to do the same. Don’t give up if you think you can’t, or say you don’t deserve something like this because you think your art is “shit”. Every single one of you have something great to offer and I want y’all to know that. Don’t stop creating, don’t stop trying, and don’t any of y’all ever stop yourselves from doing something y’all love to do.
