So things went the way I was hoping they would, for once. I got Luna and the client came through and accepted the orders so that there was enough to pay for the boy Ponies as well!
Oh my gosh, Luna is amazing. No pictures do her justice. She is midnight blue, with sapphire blue and lavender hair. She is absolutely gorgeous. I definitely think she's one of my top favorite purchases from Build-a-Bear.
I'm really glad I didn't have to pay full-price for her, too. She's more sleek and streamlined than most of the Ponies, which is how she is on the show, and I definitely wouldn't have wanted to pay $27 plus tax! It probably would have come out to almost $30 total at full-price. Instead, I only had to pay $23.51 with tax.
Also, I actually saw some Rainbow Dashes in the store again. That was a surprise. I kind of might like to get her, mainly for aesthetic reasons more than anything else, same as with Trixie. I just love blue and all shades of it. Rainbow Dash certainly hasn't endeared herself to me this season any more than she generally does, but I do honestly love the way the Build-a-Bear plushie looks.
And I wrote a test blurb with Giovanna and Scofield. And aside from the fact that I need to fix some cheesiness, I really like it and think it looks believable and IC for them. My only question now is whether I could carry a multi-chapter fic with that as a subplot and a mystery as the main plot, since what I'd want most is just to keep writing and experimenting with them and not have anything else getting in the way, even a mystery. But if I write Riptide fic, I'd want to share it with the fanbase, and I don't think too many would come on board just to watch me write about a oneshot character and a twoshot character, so it would need to have the main cast as well.
I love them, especially Murray. He's just adorably cute with his enthusiasm and techie knowledge. And I love that they don't just make him a cardboard cut-out socially challenged geek. He's a real three-dimensional character and he's genuinely important to the show and the plots, providing help all along the way.
Of course, when it comes to relationships of any kind, platonic or romantic, I much prefer canon over fanon. Ginger and Lou, and Ecks and Wye, are both canon platonic relationships. (Now, exactly whether they're friends or just partners in crime is anyone's guess, but I strongly believe that they are friends.) Roger and Claudia, and Dutch and his wife, are canon romantic relationships (albeit we don't actually see Dutch interact with his wife onscreen, sigh). And then Little Pinto and Lucrece Posey could be canon, if you squint. I totally love the story I crafted for them.
Giovanna and Scofield aren't canon even by squinting. It's just a fun fanon exploration (and a way for me to live vicariously through Giovanna, which I highly enjoyed doing while writing the blurb, by the way). Part of me feels like I shouldn't spend time on them when they're only fanon and I've got canon relationships to explore.
