#12 - Swiftie House: A phone call with Joe Alwyn, The Lover’s Lover
“Swiftie House!” One of the two Swiftie Soldiers guarding the door to Taylor’s hotel room barked at the other. “I want to be in Swiftie House!”
“Well, this isn’t Harry Potter!  It doesn’t work like that—you can’t just pick a house!”  The other yelled back escalating their quarrel.
“Why not?  I want to be in Swiftie House!”
“Because it just doesn’t work like that.  And besides, if it WERE like Harry Potter, you couldn’t pick anyways, The Sorting Hat picks the house.  You sit on the chair and The Sorting Hat is placed on your head, then the hat picks FOR you.”
“Swiftie House, I WANT to be IN Swiftie House—“
“Well, you are in Swiftie House OBVIOUSLY —So, just calm down.“   He pointed towards Taylor’s room.
“Woo hoo! SWIFTIE HOUSE!!!”
“We’re all in Swiftie House.  Taylor is The Sorting Hat and SHE picked us to be in Swiftie House because SHE is The Lover.”
“Love her.  She’s The Lover.”  The first soldier said staring straight ahead in a hypnotic gaze.
“Yes, I know, that’s The Swift Army motto.”  The second soldier rolled his eyes.
“I LOVE being in Swiftie House!”  He said, breaking out of the hypnotized eyes.
“Well, technically we’re in a hotel right now and not a house—So, it’s Swiftie Hotel, but yes, we all love being in Swiftie House.  I love it too.“
“Guys, I’m on the phone with Joe!  Can you keep it down please?”  Taylor called out from inside one of the bedrooms in the opulent hotel suite.  She was lying sprawled out on a king-size bed in The Ritz-Carlton Suite at the Ritz-Carlton hotel in Los Angeles.  It’s amazing how quickly she was able to travel back to LA from Nashville and still make it in time for her preshow rehearsals for the American Music Awards after storming The Big Machine Records offices—Which by now was completely surrendered to the Swifties—One could say that she’s quite the SWIFT traveler.  Eh?  Eh? Anyone?  No?  Okay then. I guess laughs weren’t allowed on this flight.
Taylor had a private plane complete with chirping crickets to keep any and all jokes related to her last name company since, unfortunately the laughs were not allowed to board the flight as they were considered checked baggage and were forced to ride in the cargo hold below, their “ha-ha” and “he-he” sounds muffled by the barrier that separated the passenger cabin above and baggage area below, additionally the sound of the engines droning away were enough to completely block out the laughs leaving only the chirping of crickets and the inflight music choice, every Taylor Swift song ever made, on shuffle, and on repeat.  And one Hanson song… MMMBop, because that song was catchy, and also why not?  You gotta problem with Taylor Swift’s music choice? I didn’t think so.
The taking of the Big Machine headquarters was her Fort Ticonderoga, an early win in the Big Machine war, Ethan Allen and Benedict Arnold’s ghosts would approve.  She stared at the leftover eggs benedict platter she ordered earlier, the coffee now cold, and her thoughts meandered.  The platter sat on a cart beside an Ethan Allen chair.  As she chatted with Joe Alwyn, her lover, she wondered if one day far in the future, the ghost of her name, Taylor Swift would become nothing more than a furniture collection, or perhaps a clothing line.  Historic battles fought and won, and now all people know is that catchy marketing jingle associated with a holiday sale event, or brand bearing the same name.  Funny how her lover would have been on the opposing side of a war all those years ago—If she were born at that time period, my how their current Romeo and Juliet love story would be different, although, her entire life would be different. In 1775 a woman didn’t even have a chance of being what Taylor Swift is today.  Times they are a changing… She was certainly no Margaret “Peggy” Shippen.
Although, as an interesting parallel with Peggy Shippen, yes, Taylor was born into a fairly well to do family in the same state of Pennsylvania, and much like Peggy, she longed for something more in life than to be courted off by a good looking boy—but unlike Peggy she had a choice over her own fate, she was no loyalist spy for the British army, instead, she commanded her own damn army.  That’s right. What women can achieve when you peel away the patriarch.  Am I right? Hold on Beyoncé is on the other line, she has something to add… Who run this world?  Girls.  That’s right, and you’ll like it.  Partly because you’re under Taylor’s mind control from her music and you have no choice but to like it.  But also, because times they are a changing…
The Swiftie Soldiers stood in a foyer by the suite entranceway, they were suppose to be practicing their dance moves as they were also background dancers for Taylor tomorrow night in the American Music Awards performance.
“Sorry Taylor!”  They hollered back.
Taylor looked over at the full size grand piano she would use to practice on. Lover had to be perfect, just like the lover on the other end of this phone call was.  She needed every second of her performance to shine so the whole world would be on her side.
“God, these backup dancers are driving me up the walls—I can’t take it Joe, ugh, I miss you so much.”
“And I miss you my dear.  Would you like me to say a bunch of British words for you with a British accent?”
“You’re already talking to me with a British accent.  But, oh, I love it when you talk British to me.  You’re my lover you magnetic force of a man. You London Boy, you.”
“I still don’t get why I can’t just pick my own house.”  The backup dancer Swiftie soldier guards began to bicker again.
“Because it does not work like that.”
“Guys!!!!  ON. THE.  PHONE.”  Taylor yelled.  “You’re supposed to be keeping a look out and practicing for tomorrow night.  Less talky, more walky and dancy.  I’m expecting that Tuna will be here any minute and then I’ll need to make another call to a certain someone to make an offer for an exchange for a certain SOMETHING.”
Sushi meowed from Taylor’s side.
“Well YOU can talk all you want.  That’s right.  Cats are an exception to the rule, to my rule, as queen of this Swiftie army.” She waved a stick with a feather at the end of it in front of the cat, and the cat reached for the feather, taunted by Taylor.  Sushi the cat was unable to get ahold of what it desired, but unable to stop trying. Whatever Taylor wanted the cat to do, it would have no choice.
“How come the cat gets to talk and we can’t?”  One of the dance guards said to the other in a lower voice trying to keep his question from reaching Taylor’s ears.
“Joe, my lover, can you hold on a second?”
“Yes dearest lover.  For you, I would walk around the world for your love.”
“Well, I appreciate that, but that’s not necessary right now, I’m just going to put you on hold.”
“Taylor, I will wait for all eternity.”
“I only need about thirty seconds.”
“Or thirty seconds, I’ll be here my Lover.”
“Oh, I know you will.”  She smiled and thought to herself, because you don’t have a choice.
Taylor placed the phone down and got up from the bed letting her hand run along the linens.  Plush 400-thread count linens—400 thread count!  What a waste she screamed in her mind.  400 thread count!  And my lover isn’t here with me to share this.
She picked up a sonic blast attack device and walked into the other room. She set the device to low and placed it on ‘auto’.  The device began to play a series of Taylor Swift songs mashed together and layered on top of one another.  She placed the device on a small table in the foyer near the two bickering Swiftie Dance Soldiers, and stared them both down.  She smiled sweetly.
“Guys… I need you to be quiet for the moment.“ She said soothingly. “Okay?”
The solders didn’t say a word, they simply nodded.
“Listen to my music, love my music.”  She sang out.  They continued nodding back.  “When the KatyCat Kitty Cat Guard cat convoy out on mission returns, you come get me. Until then…”  She placed her index finger over her lips, “Shhhhhhhhhhhhh.”
“Yes. Taylor.”  They said, in a Siri like voice.
She patted them on the head.  “When The Lover is on the phone with her lover… She needs everyone to be quiet.”
They continued bobbing their head to the beat of the music in perfect synchronization.  
“Good.”  Taylor felt a surge of power pulse through her from head to toe.  She pivoted on her feet, and went back to her conversation with Joe.

Fanfic Friday #3
Oh god, oh dear, oh no. This was supposed to come out last Friday, and yet it was delayed for a week without any news. I mean, I did technically tweet it last Friday but maybe anyone who follows me can forgive me because this week you get both? And.... er... I’ll try to do better? Maybe I’ll do another post on my real thoughts about Fanfic Friday, but if you’re reading this, and you just want to get to the good stuff, let me delay no more!
Tumblr media
I return to Fanfic Friday’s roots (after only a single week off, ha) of seeing how I would teak a non-canon arc. Heck, maybe I'll have constructive creativity for a canon arc one day. But not this day. Because I was originally sending these out as tweets, my thoughts in places are brief. Adventure in the Ocean's Naval was fine. It was palatable. But I don't want a slightly overcooked hamburger and some fries. I want steak with garlic mashed potatoes.
Things I liked:
The mystery of the island, however short lived
The guardian monsters
Captain Joke didn't have friends like Luffy, and that was his downfall
Things that could be improved:
Usopp/Nami didn't do much of anything
Magic not explained
who cares about Joke?
As before, I'll keep the premise. Mysterious island, land of adventure? check. But this time, there's no octopus, no immediate fight. Luffy and Zoro andd the ship still fall down below because hijinks. (maybe Zoro is napping and doesn't keep a careful eye on Luffy, who gets bored and starts messing around on the ship, or he sees a cool bug. And him running around somehow dislodges the anchor long enough that they fall). So they all end up down below, and they meet a rather shady old man (think Jafar disguised as the beggar) who tells them about this wicked cool treasure of the gods. It's on the other side of the island if they're brave enough to get it. It is said to grant any wish.
Usopp and Nami are probably freaked out, Sanji would very calmly be like "who would fall for that?" but Luffy has decided to go check it out, and Zoro is just like "he's the captain." So they end up going, some more willingly than others Now, you'll notice this call to adventure is some kind of bad guy (you know what? Make it a poorly disguised oni. Everyone notices except Luffy), instead of some kid. Firstly, I'm usually not a fan of the kid characters- even if they're related to the deeper themes. But also, maybe there *is* a village down here, and they meet a crying Hamu who is like "don't try to go get the treasure! Even Captain Joke, the hero pirate of the village couldn't do it!" But why would that deter Luffy? Answer: it wouldn't.
Luffy could be all "Yeah, but I bet he wasn't as strong as I am. I'm going to be King of the Pirates." (King of the What Now?) Maybe Hamu comes with to watch this idiot in action, maybe he just stays behind. The crew will come back through for the ship anyways and they can tell him about their adventure. Now, they get halfway across a suspiciously empty field, when all of a sudden these stone walls come up from the ground, creating a labyrinth and separating the crew. Luffy might try to rocket up but there's some magical barrier. Also you can't go back the way you came, inwards!
Tumblr media
Now, Luffy will basically get lost and increasingly frustrated. I cannot stress how funny this mental image is, as he yells and rampages but to no avail. I don't think the Straw Hats can hear each other. As I mentioned in episode 25 of the podcast, it'd be interesting if the Straw Hats faced off against the former Joke pirates. You get just enough characterization through dialogue and actions that you feel like you actually know this character. Also, I want to touch on the nature of the Joke pirates. Joke was betrayed, just like in the original. But instead of faceless shapes, there are 4 you can clearly see. Also the hint of *something* off-camera giving off a dark red light.
Spoilers: But because Joke's commanders were evil-hearted, they became tainted, causing their forms to morph and become... well, weird and monstrous. We can imply the other no-name members of the Joke pirates were killed in the labyrinth or by these commanders
Anyways. Zombie commander guys facing Luffy's crew one on one. Zoro first. He faces a man clad in weird armor (because One Piece), who constantly bangs on his breastplate, simply saying "Strong! Strong!" He's very bulky and has tusks. Maybe make him look walrus-ish. Anyways, he's very strong, and he hits hard. Zoro can't pierce his armor, and there's no obvious weakpoints. This guy's deal is that he just wants to be strong, as a dark reflection of Zoro's own ambition. He wants it so bad he'd sell out his captain to make a deal with a monster. Eventually Zoro wins, I think by using the butt of his sword to BANG right on the dude's helmet, and then breaking the monster commander's weapon, maybe burying him beneath the rubble created by slashing the walls  surrounding them. And of course Zoro gets a badass line. "What good is strength if you won't use it for your captain?" Because he is a GOOD, LOYAL BOY. Or maybe a comment on his enemy's internal weakness. "If you're too weak to stand and you get knocked down, stand up again even stronger"
Tumblr media
Sanji's opponent: A rockstar with a wicked cool guitar and cool shades and a flashy jacket. Yes, I said a rockstar. This is One Piece which has all sorts of crazy character designs. Does it make sense that he has an electric guitar? Do I care? The ideological reason they're suited for each other is because this guy (maybe he's like a creature of the lagoon. Yeah that's it. He's more frog-ish) likes ladies but he's vain about it and only cares about himself (betrayed Joke because being a priate wasn't cool anymore). Anyways he fires actual music note shaped projectiles by strumming his guitar, and Sanji can't really get close at first. That is, until... maybe Froggy says he'll hunt down Nami? Yeah, and then Sanji kicks tthrough these weird music notes, runs forward and kicks him in the face! 
"Coolness can't be forced," Sanji remarks, adjusting his tie. "And no woman would ever want to kiss you." (Also, side note, I'm not a huge fan of the shonen trope of suddenly becoming stronger when someone is threatened. But I couldn't think of a way for Sanji to win otherwise. I need to get better at this. That’s what having a weekly schedule is meant to help with!)
Tumblr media
Usopp's opponent: A squid looking guy who hides behind cover and always runs from battle. He betrayed his captain because he was afraid of what would happen if they continued their journey. Usopp tries to snipe him when he comes up from behind cover but Squid boy is very fast. Usopp wins by purposefully acting all angry and firing a bunch of his explosion stars, secretly taking out the cover further down the battle field until the next time squiddy tries to run he gets blasted in the back. "How can a man run from danger for his whole life?" He asks with a smirk. Bonus points if his knees are still shaking while he says it
Tumblr media
Nami: She faces a fairy. Yes, a lady who got all shrunk by the monster's power. Maybe a flying sea horse-ish type design, to keep it aquatic. She, like Nami, is money obsessed, and didn't want to share her treasure with Joke. She's another agile one and shoots giant bubbles. Can Nami polevault with that pole of hers? Yeah, let's say she can. So she leaps over one of the bubbles and maybe throws a coin past the lady, causing her lady to quickly look away- unable to resist the allure of gold- just in time for a nice solid smack of the pole. "Try thinking about others once in a while" is Nami's line before she continues through the maze.
Tumblr media
Now, it seems the maze is magic in nature (no duh), and the Straw Hats (minus their captain) have come out of the maze. And before them is the treasure. But before they can approach, the red light from earlier. oh no! It's the old man from earlier! (who could have guessed???????) He gets huge and reveals his true form, growing in size, saying he'll never give up his treasure. But before the battle can start, you hear it. CRACK! WHUMP! CRACK! Cracks are appearing on some part of the maze wall behind them. It explodes and in comes an enraged Luffy! Angry that he was lost for so long. Bonus points, Sanji kicks a piece of rubble that was going to hit him, Zoro cuts a piece that was flying at him, and the eternal butt monkey Usopp gets hit in the head.
Luffy: Who's this? Zoro: Dunno Sanji: That's the old guy from earlier. Luffy: Whaaaat?? Grandpa wasn't a good person?? Nami: Honestly, captain... Usopp: *recovered from the rubble* Hey, Luffy, what was that, you jerk!!!
Now, the point is that this monster likes to sow chaos. Just like in the original special, Joke was betrayed because he had crappy friends. And The Straw Hats seem incredibly disorganized. So the monster king grins. "How would you like to join me and I'll grant you your wish?" Zoro, Nami, Sanji, Usopp, each of them get all quiet and start walking over to accept the deal. Luffy is watching them, a look of mild confusion on his face. They stand right in front of the thing and the monster grins. "Good," he says. All four of them at once give him a solid whack, kick, shot, and slide. "As if!!!"  They cry in union. Luffy grins and punches the big creature in the gosh darn mouth. Well, probably the nose but I like to say "punch in the mouth"
He's not defeated *that* easily, and maybe if I spent more time rewriting and drafting this I could come up with an exciting narrative. The point is that the monster is too strong for even Luffy on their own, but they fight as a team.
You might think Luffy tends to prefer to fight alone, and maybe he does for a while. But the monster *could* wish himself stronger, and it could look like Luffy is about to lose when his crew mates save him, allowing him to prepare for an even stronger punch that will finish it. And of course the wish granting gem breaks. Of COURSE Luffy sends the monster flying and he smashes into the thing and it gets launched with him over the horizon or something. Of course everyone's mad but Luffy shrugs it off, since it's more about the journey than the destination So... yeah, that's basically it. Luffy comes back to the village, Hamu is like "How did you do it?" and Luffy just grins and is like "with help from my crew." And it's a sweet moment. Hopefully you liked it! I feel like this was the longest one yet.
Happy Friday everyone!

28-04-2018 Livestream
Did a livestream last night and here were the results.
Twilight Sparkle paced back and forth within her very 1950s kitchen preparing her very 1950s dinner of meatloaf, mashed potatoes, and asparagus. It was a very hardy dinner made by a very hardy horse wife.
A horse wife of a marriage which had lasted for 25 years. No, lasted was the wrong way of putting it. This marriage was a bedrock by which all other marriages could only hope to be compared against.
It may have had its arguments, quibbles, and the occasional fights but when it came down to it Twilight loved Big Mac and Big Mac loved Twilight. If that wasn’t the case she would have shed this ring upon her hoof decades ago.
SOMEONE PLEASE SAVE ME, I NEED A BETTER IDEA TO WRITE
Rawr’s idea: Sunset and Twilight Sparkle watching terrible horror movie (Trolls 2).
The boy looked in horror as the little goblin figures ate the plants that used to be his family. His expression only grew more abysmal as he began to shake his head in disbelief. A fly landed upon his brow. Like the goblins it too was a detritus eater who lived upon the death of others.
“They’re eating her…and then they’re going to eat me… OHHHH MMMMMYYYY GAWWWDDDD!”
Sunset Shimmer burst out laughing, nearly knocking the bowl of popcorn out of her lap and onto the floor.
It was only the steady hand of Twilight Sparkle which managed to save the bowl and place it safely upon the coffee table.
“What’s so funny?” Twilight said.
“It’s just, this movie. It’s so fucking terrible.”
And like that Twilight Sparkle’s heart shattered into a billion little pieces. How could this be happening. Twilight had assumed that Sunset Shimmer was the one. The one true love who would share her interest for the Troll’s Extended Universe.
“Excuse me?” Twilight whispered, her voice quivering on the edge of crying and absolute devastation.
“Yeah, you see it don’t you?”
Twilight forced a smile just like she was attempting to force back a Lake Mead’s worth of tears. It was not a battle she was likely to win as she felt the first roll down her cheek.
“Y-yeah…of course I knew that. That’s why I wanted to show it to you. To show you how terrible it was. It’s not like I…I love it or anything.”
Sunset froze, her gaze turning to Twilight. “Wait…Twilight, do you actually love this movie?”
Twilight tried to deny it but at this point the tears had overtaken her and she had no hope of formulating a coherent response.
Sunset placed her hand upon Twilight’s arm. “Look, babe. I’m…I’m sorry. I didn’t know.”
Twilight closed her eyes and tried to pull away.
“Do…do you want to talk about it?” Sunset asked.
Twilight managed to stifle her misery. “It’s just…this…this was the last movie I saw before my mom’s death.”
Sunset winced. “Oh my god…Twi, I had no idea. I know your mom meant a lot to you and I know watching her get torn to pieces by lions wasn’t easy.”
Twilight shook her head. “It wasn’t but…it’s the way she would’ve wanted to go.”
Her mom had died while doing some field research for her latest Daring Do book.
Sunset grabbed Twilight’s hand, staring deep into her eyes. “Twi…”
Twilight stared back into Sunset’s eyes. “Yes?”
“This movie may not be the best but if it means this much to you…then…then, like you, it is absolutely perfect.”
Twilight grinned. “I…I am?”
Sunset nodded. “I love you, Twilight.”
“I love you too.”
They then bumped foreheads and nuzzled each other.
“Hey Sunset?” Twilight asked.
“What is it babe?”
“Do you want to fuck?”
Cassie’s idea: TwiDash but with a tweest, this is not what she meant but this is how I perception it.
“Hey Twilight, we have a very open friendship, right?” Rainbow Dash asked.
Twilight Sparkle looked up from her book. “I’d say we have a pretty solid friendship.”
“Like we can tell each other anything and we’d be super chill while talking about it?”
Twilight cocked an eyebrow. “What’s going on?”
Rainbow bit her lip. “Look I need to tell you something but you have to promise not to be mad?”
“Well I mean I can’t really make that promise with the information you’ve given me.”
“Look you trust me, right?”
“Yes?”
“Then you can trust me enough to make this promise.”
Twilight sighed. “Fine, I promise not to get mad at whatever you want to talk about.”
The primary feathers of her wings were crossed.
“Alright, so…” Rainbow took a deep breath. “I’m fucking your mom.”
And just like that Rainbow Dash found herself within the clutches of a very aggressive telekinetic spell.
“YOU’RE WHAT?!” Twilight screamed.
“Hey, hey, hey, you promised not to get mad!”
“My wings were crossed.”
The realization dawned on Rainbow. “FUCK! I’m so boned.” Though even in the clutches of death she still managed to giggle.
“What’s so funny?” Twilight asked.
“N-nothing.”
“Tell me before I squeeze you hard enough to create fusion.”
“Ok…ok…So remember how I said ‘I’m so boned’?”
“Yes.”
“I though about saying, ‘fuck. I’m so boned…like your mom.”
The grip grew a little tighter.
Rainbow forced out a laugh. “Ok, ok, I get it bad joke.”
Twilight began to pace back and forth.
“I can’t believe this,” she muttered.
“What is it?”
Twilight shook Rainbow. “My parents have been married thirty years. THIRTY YEARS, Rainbow!”
“Oh…I wouldn’t be too worried about that.”
Twilight wheeled about, glaring at Rainbow. “And why shouldn’t I?”
“He seemed to be having a good time too.”
It took all of Twilight’s restraint not to embed Rainbow into the mantle of Equestria.
Twilight took in a deep, laboured breath of air. “Ok, ok, we can move past this. This is an incident we can move beyond. Our friendship can transcend beyond a little casual sex.”
“I mean, I wouldn’t exactly call what happened last night, casual. Your dad had this mask and your mom wanted me to call her miss.”
“Rainbow JENNIFER Dash, one more word. ONE MORE and I swear you’ll be the first pegasus to break the light barrier.”
“Whoa, that sounds fast.”
“YES! Yes it does. It’s so fast in fact that you’ll be broken down to pure energy.”
“Alright, zipping my lips.”
Twilight nodded and resumed her pacing. “Ok so is…is this your first time with my parents.”
“Ehhhhh”
“RAINBOW!”
“Well I mean…first time in awhile.”
“How long a while.”
“Like…a month.”
Twilight took a deep breath, trying to sooth the pounding urge to commit murder that was building in the back of her mind.
“Rainbow…RAINBOW…Rainbow, I really appreciate you coming forward to tell me about this.”
“Hey, anytime.”
“BUT…it would really make me feel better if you never ever ever EVER had sex with my parents. Like…ever again.”
Rainbow nodded. “Done and done.”
“Wait, really?”
“Yeah you’re my friend and if it makes you uncomfortable then I’ll stop.”
Twilight placed Rainbow down relatively gently.
“One question?” Rainbow asked.
“What is it?”
“So I can’t have sex with your parents but does that mean I also need to stop fooling around with Shining and Cadence too?”
And like that Rainbow Dash broke the light barrier.
Rawr’s Idea: Where do Zap Apples come from
“Hey Granny,” Applejack said.
“What’s up, Sugarcube,” Granny Smith said
“Where do Zap Apples come from?”
“Well you see they come from a combination of hard work, a green hoof, and just a hint of magic.”
“What type of magic?”
“Errrrr, I’m not entirely sure to be honest. Its just that whenever this certain cloud flies over top of the crops they turn into zap apples.”
“What kind of cloud?”
“It looks kind of like a palace with like rainbows dripping from it.”
Applejack froze. That sounded distinctly like Rainbow Dash’s place.
“Wait a second, is there…a pattern about when this cloud shows up?”
“Now that you mention it, it always shows up on a Friday.”
Friday! That was Rainbow’s sex night.
Suddenly Applejack felt instantly uneasy as the memory of every zap apple eaten, drunken, spread, and used flood back to her mind. Hundred upon hundred of the things, consumed and put into her body.
She shuddered.
“Are you sure it’s the same cloud?”
“Positivity, same cloud for a decade now.”
Applejack beamed, there was till a glimmer of hope left.
“But we’ve been growing these things for generations?”
“Well….”
Applejack’s expression dropped. “What?”
“We’ve really only been doing this for thirty years. Actually…now that I think about it. It all started when that no-good Bow Hothoof came to town. By the stars he had such a gaudy cloud house. He’d always fly it over our farm, spraying rainbows everywhere.”
Applejack felt a wave of nausea overtake her.
“I’m going to be sick.”
Granny nodded. “Been there, done that. My advice is to suppress the memories and just remember the money.”
Applejack was about to hurl. “Oh gods, we’ve been feeding people these for decades.”
Granny expression turned grim. “And that knowledge is our burden to bear.”
Applejack vomited into the trash.
