Warning: This is going to be a long post.
Iāve decided to cancel the āColgateās Bizarre Adventureā fanfic. I had started it, but I think I might be biting off a little more than I can chew (lol). This picture would have been used for the first chapter titled āCitizen Colgate,ā which was meant to serve as a recap of the blog via a āNews On the March ā parody called āNews On the Trot.ā
The story was meant to be an anthology with a framing device. Princess Luna and Colgate meet at a bar, and they reminisce about events from the past. The stories would have included Minuetteās face getting fixed, a re-imagining of my trip to Bronycon, a return of King Sombra story (this was pretty much dropped, as it was just a Resurrection F parody), and an origin story. There also wouldāve been some closure about the office door in which Colgate actually gets an indestructable door from Luna, only to have it blown open by Canni Soda as part of the Bronycon story (the joke being that Galacon is a week before Bronycon). There was going to a Clockwork Orange parody where Colgate was forced to listen to Pink Floydās āTime,ā but I figured that wouldnāt ad anything to the story. In the end, we would find out that the whole meeting with the princess was just Colgateās dream, and the princess would actually invite Colgate to a real bar (a salt bar, as a callback to season 1) in order to get her out of the office. Colgate would wonder what happened to Dr. Hooves (who would have been a major part in the origin story) and then out of nowhere, Derpy would show up with a letter about him (like in Back to the Future 2). Weād learn that the Doctor actually ended up in the desert shortly after the events of the season 5 opener and runs into Starlight Glimmer. The final line wouldāve been Starlight Glimmer asking āWhat do you know about time travel?ā
There was also meant to be a part where Colgate goes to the human world to find a cure for Minuette which would have featured a few human cameos. One wouldāve been Guru Larry, as a healing guru. Another wouldāve been Dr. Krieger from Archer, which wouldāve had this back and forth:
KRIEGER: What do you want me to do? Iām not aā¦medicalā¦doctor.
COLGATE: Well, neither am I!
KRIEGER: Well thatās irony for ya.
COLGATE: No, thatās just inconvenient. Whatās ironic is that Iām a dentist who canāt afford dental insurance.
So that was pretty much what I had left for story ideas. Iām a little bummed that they never got used, but thatās life. I have a few more posts planned, though, so stay tuned!
