and what about the yellow pony of chapter 12? What´s the matter with him? It´s the only one that I haven´t mentioned yet and...you are about to be surprised. Take a laid back listen with this song called Random Rules from 1998 and let´s find out that...

by the point that you are listening to the 2:43 mark, you are about to hear very familiar words that appeared in the fanfic and represent a golden moment for this whole story in this post  >>/5436/:

> I asked the painter why the roads are colored black
> He said, "Steve, it's because people leave and no highway will bring them back"
> So if you don't want me, I promise not to linger. But before I go, I've gotta ask you, dear, about that tan line on your ring finger
> No one should have two lives. Now you know my middle names are Wrong and Right. Honey, we've got two lives to give tonight

The last two chapters were half improvised in the translation but for sure, the flashback of Manehattan was entirely built up just to say those lines and what´s worse, we don´t know if Bluestar is going to meet him again. Was he talking to the painter or with a ponified version of the singer? That vagueness is left to be  answered yet.

By this point, one would imply that the suicide tag was applied to Bluestar on chapters 7 and 8. That´s the legit conclusion one would say but the haunting lines that the painter said were perhaps his last words and I am taking a huge risk by revealing this influence for this story. It´s the biggest secret that this fanfic holds at its core and this could cost me a ban or controversies around the community. But oh well, I am ready to face the consequences.

I discovered the music from Silver Jews/Purple Mountains last summer when he died and the song Random Rules was stuck in my head and I repeated it and huge amount of times without getting tired of it and his context is quite grim because he committed actual suicide (/mu/ offered a sticky thread for his death by the way). 

Here is why I am not going to reveal the influences on FimFiction because it could lead me into trouble and the metaphoric vagueness disguises this dark backstory behind the yellow pony character. I didn´t name him at all because he was supposed to be a minor influence yet I am announcing him in the last chapter.

In the end, what I have done here is that he was meant to carry a message here and it conceals more power than one believes at first sight...
