Fanfic: After the MLP, The Movie: Does Disney dream of evil queens?

Originally written on 11th of June, translated and completed on 15th of June.

I think that this fic pretty much sums up what happened behind the scenes and the cameras. This time is about the MLP Movie and the next day after it.

I know that the popular choice is to write about shipping Pinkie with Skystar and I admit that I tried to see if I could write about them. However, there are others that can write that romance better and I don´t know how I would make the climax between them. I began with that, then the day after, I thought about talking about that ship with Queen Novo´s eyes, describing it in 3rd person, as a narrator and finally, I decided to forget about shipping and focus directly to the mother. I re-watched the movie again and I liked her behavior much more than I initially expected, so much that I empathized with her boredom. This explains why this fic is driven in 1st person.

Influences and material used: This credit´s picture, where the movie actually ends and season 8 starts for me (the central column of this fic), Surf and or Turf, which would explain a lot of things described here and give some context to it and a personal response to the mouse company.

A response to that tiresome cliché of queens being evil all the time and I throw at them a hint with this line, parodying them:

>if I ended up crazy, I would be looking myself at the mirror and be obsessed in playing useless contests to see who the most beautiful queen in this world is

Which fortunately for this movie, it wasn´t the case. I put her role of a mother and how she has problems behind the happiness shown from the hippogriffs. This would explain why they were so amiable to the ponies so quickly. What Novo truly wanted was someone else´s support in order to feel secure or reinforced with her decisions. The hug with Celestia made me think she had some contact and had intentions to be friends with her. So, I go with her internal psychology and justify the setup.

There are a couple of references over here to point out: a few lines from Novo come from a confessional song, putting its title between her words:
