[Random] [Shipping] [Comedy] Even rocks and trees need love sometimes.
Author: Nine
Description: Every culture has its own story of romance blossoming under the most unlikely of circumstances. The wild west is no exception. In a little town called Appleloosa, the one of the strangest love stories of all time is about to unfold. That is, unless Braeburn has anything to say about it...Sticks and Stones

ReplyDelete*uncontrolled laughter*
ReplyDeleteIf this survived the pre-readers it must be pure gold.
ReplyDeleteLOLWUT?
ReplyDeleteHere comes Tom.
ReplyDeleteWell crazier ships have happend
ReplyDeleteGood thing I don't read them
*Sees Image* Pretty ambiguous, looks interesting.
ReplyDelete*Reads "Even rocks and trees need love sometimes* ...

ReplyDeleteCargo shipping?
ReplyDelete>ohboyherewegord.jpg
best title evah
ReplyDeleteSo it has come to this.
ReplyDeleteWhat the actual hell?
ReplyDeleteSo someone finally decided to ship Tom and Fluttershy. In this fandom, that was inevitable.
ReplyDeleteWhat is this... i don't even
ReplyDeleteSo someone finally decided to ship Bloomberg and Tom? Well as the additional tags point out, stranger ships have indeed happened. Well it did get past the pre-readers, I think I'll give it a go, it sounds like fun!
ReplyDeleteNeeds M/M tag.
ReplyDelete"'Sheriff, they've eloped.'
ReplyDeleteAND SO THE LEGEND BEGINS."
BHAHAHAHAH 5/5 ALL MY BITS

ReplyDeleteMy first reaction: Wut
ReplyDeleteMy second reaction: BWAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Gonna guess tomxbloomberg, and yes, stranger ships have probably sailed. You'd be surprised what is seaworthy in this fandom.
ReplyDeleteMoving rocks do exist actually, I know because they live in the desert based areas.
ReplyDeleteUnfortunately I think Bloomberg is an 'it' and so is Tom. So basically any gender you give them is subjective by point of view.
Thus the relationship is probably more emotional and spiritual in nature then anything.
Such a beautiful and timeless love story
ReplyDelete@Sgt Byrd
ReplyDeleteWhat ship could be stranger than this?
STILL a better love story than Twilight. (The vampires, of course)
ReplyDelete@thedudwithnoface
ReplyDeleteRainbow, with an inanimate book.
That rocks, but I think I will leaf this one alone.
ReplyDeleteTomberg is best shipping?
ReplyDelete@D. Shadows
ReplyDeleteActually, I'm pretty sure Twilight's been shipped with books before. Not an experience I'd like to repeat.
Just finished reading. A funny and well written story. Strangely emotionally touching towards the end.
ReplyDeleteMeh.
ReplyDeleteYou dont know how long ive been waiting for this ship
ReplyDelete*squee*
@Nine
ReplyDeleteAt least the book had a live spirit in it! Unless you didn't read that one... Teen Titans kind of a parody that was, at least it was benign.
This fandom is quite insane and I'm a proud to see it continuing along those lines.
It's finally happened. Welp. Time to finish my Tomity story.
ReplyDeleteThe minister who performed Tom and Bloomberg's ceremony must have either been drunk of his/her ass, high as the Hayabusa satellite, or hallucinating to be willing to go through with it. That was a fun read.
ReplyDeleteDangit! I kept meaning to write something like this, but now I've missed my chance. Curse my habits of procrastination, you have foiled me yet again!
ReplyDelete@D.Shadows
ReplyDeleteOur definitions of Insanity are very different
wait a rock and a tree
ReplyDeletewtf?!!!!!!!!
@Travis Smith
ReplyDeleteBut, I know fifteen kinds of insane... and thirty seven ways to define a being as such.
I'm a rock, and this story moved me.
ReplyDeleteNo bucking way. The crap that gets posted on here sometimes...
ReplyDeleteFunniest Premise award!
ReplyDelete... WUT?

ReplyDeletebefore reading this...
ReplyDeleteTrees and rocks and rocks and trees and...
Waaaateeeerrrrrrr
I have said it before, and I'll say it again.
ReplyDeleteInanimate love is best love.
Ya know, this is probably my new favorite ship.
ReplyDeleteOh my God, OH MY GOD, someone ACTUALLY wrote a Tomberg fic. You, sir or lady, are my hero.
ReplyDeleteTheir offspring would clearly be:

Oh man, take my 5-star. Just...JUST TAKE IT.
ReplyDeleteThat was amazing. Not only did you actually make me honest-to-god go "aww" at a friggin' tree and a rock (THE ROOTS, MAN ;_;), that ending made me literally roll of my sofa with laughter.
Beautiful.
@Dͪ͊ͦḮ̘ͯS̔̐̓C̹̔Ò͓͙̫R̀͠͞D͙̫
ReplyDeletecome now, as the spirit of chaos this aught to be right down your drain pipe! i mean face it. when you drink you drink the glass and toss the milk over your shoulder to cause explosions..
a rock and a tree being shipped is just par for the course!
The best.
ReplyDelete@thedudewithnoface
ReplyDeleteTwist and Gummy, for one.
Heck yes. How the author came up with this ship I'll never know, but this is pure gold right here.
ReplyDelete@thedudewithnoface
ReplyDeleteOthers beat me to it replying.
tomxbloomberg is inanimate object with inanimate object, two things of a similar type being shipped, which makes more sense than pony with inanimate object, like twixbook or rarityxtom. It's half believable that inanimate objects are sentient and nopony knows.
Didn't we once have twixlamp as well, that was probably an Anchorman reference.
@Persona
ReplyDeleteI know it gets thrown out a lot (especially by me) as an example when people start 'LOL SHIP ALL THE THINGS' threads in reddit, but I never thought I'd ACTUALLY see it.
It's official: if you hate shipfics and are forced to read something with the shipping tag... read this one. If you're just looking for something to entertain you, read this too. That was ridiculous, hilarious and brilliant.
ReplyDeleteThis got quite a few chuckles out of me. I can honestly say I enjoyed it. It felt comedic and realistic enough in Equestria for it all to make a weird kind of sense. Thank you for writing this short. There are few enough things in this world written that are fun to read.
ReplyDeleteThis is actually a very amusing, and at parts, touching story, if you can look past the bizarre nature of the shipping. It also kind of makes sense that two inanimate objects might be able to achieve sentience in Equestria, especially given the circumstances of this particular pair.
ReplyDeleteBloomberg was cared for, adored, and truly, maternally loved by Applejack. If friendship has the power to banish Nightmare Moon and imprison Discord, surely love, combined with earth pony magic, would be enough to give a plant (already a living thing!) a spark of sentience?
Tom, on the other hand, was trapped in the Royal Gardens for who knows how long. Being in a city filled with unicorn magic, near the home of Princess Celestia, probably meant Tom had more ambient arcane energy infused into him than your average boulder. When Discord broke out and exposed Tom to his chaos magic, it was enough of a boost to push Tom into sentience.
After being abandoned by Rarity, Tom would certainly have been lonely, so he would have traveled the world, looking for a kindred spirit...and the rest is what happened in this story!
And that's how Rocky was made?
ReplyDeleteCongrats, you broke the mind. Discord is confused, you have achieved legendary tier.
ReplyDeleteI eagerly await a sequel in which Braeburn confront the two and then he awakens the next day to see a note where bloomburg was once rooted, explaining that they left town since he didn't give permission for their marriage. Braeburn only giving chase. in the meantime, Applejack and Rarity are in awe as they arrive in Appleloosa after seeing a 'mirage' of a tree and rock during the train ride.
Please do something Nine, I have faith in your writing abilities.
I think my mind just imploded upon reading this. It's not that its bad (far from it), it's... well... strange.
ReplyDelete>[Shipping] tag
ReplyDelete>4.6 stars
>oh, fandumb :|
I lol'ed SO HARD at the ending. Pure genius, Nine, pure genius.
ReplyDeleteI think the most mind-screwy thing about this story is how it wasn't really all that mind-screwy in the first place.
ReplyDeleteKINDA inevitable ship. Must read.
ReplyDeleteI still wanna read the Stick and Stones Cop story. I wonder why I can't find it here. :(
ReplyDeleteBloomberg/Tom shipping that got past pre-readers?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteWHATISTHISIDONTEVEN-
I have never felt so much admiration for love between a ROCK and a TREE. XD
ReplyDeleteI quite like this story! :D
Just finished reading this, pretty good. I liked the way it didn't rely on dialogue between Tom and Bloomberg, I also liked the length.
ReplyDeleteI'd like to see a comedy adventure with Tom and BBerg.
