Since I intend to write a bunch here, I thought I’d create a post for anyone who wishes to get a basic rundown of the general setting and characters.
The Setting:
Most of my works take place in Ironport, a rundown, cloudy fusion of Detroit and Chicago. Some niche internet spaces call it “No-Skettiland”, a sort of Hell for fluffies. Hasbio put a lot of honest workers in this city out of business, and these people hold a grudge, so stomping a stray mare’s foals in front of her will get you a pat on the back.
Of course, there’s still a market for pet fluffies for non-abusive owners. There are three main Hasbio fluffy establishments in the city. A vet, a daycare and a toy store. Of course, none of them get as much business as the several underground torture dens, most notable of which being a repurposed restaurant run by a college kid named Sam Duffy.
The Fluffies.
Mint: A rare case of a mare having only one foal. No miscarriages, no losing them. Mint was simply the only one. Her mother loves her a lot because of this, though it has left the young pegasus a bit deprived of socialization.
A sweet and empathetic filly, Mint struggles to deal with the conflict between her love for her mother and the mare’s intense wrath for any fluffy that isn’t Mint.
Blueberry: Mint’s mother, and a very peculiar case of BMS. Most bitch-mares choose a bestest (rather arbitrarily) out of the litter. But due to having only Mint, Blueberry simply loves her brood that intensely. Blueberry is an older fluffy who grew up on the streets of Ironport. Being very attractive by fluffy standards, the mare was able to ensure her safety by offering herself to stallions in exchange for food, protection and shelter.
And due to an unusually low fertility, these affairs never ended with her pregnant: until now.
Coco: Surprisingly enough, this chocolate-brown (in both fur, mane, and eyes) young mare was one of the few to be born in a fairly luxurious situation. She was born to N-824, a nurse-in-training for a FluffTV show teaching mares how to act as midwives for mares in labor.
Fearing her color would get her ostracized, the show’s management decided to send her to an adoption center in another state. But her crate was mistakenly left in an alley as they loaded up. After a few days, a brown and green smarty found her and the two were smitten like that. The smarty figured out how to open the crate, freed her, and after a while, one thing led to another.
But…the special friends did live in Ironport. Coco returned home from foraging to find the smarty stomped to death by some teenager. It was only when she felt a little kick in her belly that hope of loving someone again returned.
Cotton: Not much to say about this stallion. Leader of the biggest herd in Ironport. He was smart enough to live to old age, so fluffies follow him.
Big Boy: When Cotton was a colt trying to wake up his dead mother who had eaten food with rat poison, a doberman puppy found him and tried to play. The lack of anyone else to cuddle overcame Cotton’s natural fear, so the colt hugged the puppy, starting a long friendship. Big Boy is Cotton’s lifelong friend, and a big contributor to Cotton’s power and influence. Most other fluffies shit themselves when they see him, so the one who isn’t scared at all and can issue simple commands gets a lot of respect.
