Krixwell, you madman. I’m pretty sure you just chose to use ponies to make that Weymouth joke. Oh, and random fact- the term “grimdark” actually originates with Warhammer. “In the grim darkness of the far future, there is only war.”
Pfft! Nah, that one just came to me on the spot. 😛
(Hm, maybe it would’ve been called Weymuzzle Mall?)
The actual reason I chose to use ponies was that I realized how well Cupcakes fits in with these Interludes. We meet a brutally violent, somewhat deranged person who has fun doing what she does, and we get to know this person through a separate POV character.
I had already decided on this by the time I read the last part of Interlude 11c, so I was quite pleased to learn about the female newbie in the Slaughterhouse Nine – it couldn’t have been more perfect for my plans.
(By the way, “you shouldn’t look a gift horse in the mouth” is actually an expression in Equestria, being used as the moral of an episode. Considering the meaning of “gift horse”, that has some dark implications that I’m not sure the writers considered.)
