I vote yes for the journal, its another insight that we might not otherwise have.
It sounds like he's accepted being the Lord of Winter? Does he know what that means?
4915692
He has Sombra's memories... so yes, he knows what it means.
Does he understand the full ramifications of it? No.
4915699
You mentioned previously that Celestia would relinquish control of the seasons in the fall, and regain them in the spring. Does this mean that he[Bucky] will be immortal, or is it more of an inherited position. Or will it just not matter in this story?
4915706
Bucky will not be immortal. One of his foals will be picking up the title if they prove worthy...
You know, if Sparklet wants to be more offensive with her magic, she should just practice summoning Gems but make them sharp and pointy to launch into her enemies.

Or conjure a two ton boulder directly overhead.
Gravity is efficient.

Depending on how old you are, I expect you've at least heard of asbestos, and maybe you've lived in building that have asbestos insulation, or you've used asbestos-insulated appliances. Maybe you've just heard of mesothelioma, a form of lung cancer that develops when long, extremely-thin strands of asbestos are inhaled.
Here's something interesting: Asbestos isn't man-made, it's mined, just like gems.

True, however, the Sharp Gemstone Projectiles would be more fun. Especially if she could make em as long as spears and use them to pin enemies to some kind of surface
yes for journal
What's that thing one does like you did to express Sentinel's journal? I wanna do that sometime!
A big yes for Sentinel´s journal, hands down. Or hooves.

Quote tags.
Try it out!
Resounding 'yea' for the journals. Even if you end up feeling like they're bogging a chapter down, you could always spin off Sentinel's Journal.
Third line in this 'ponies whispering to one another so they wouldn’t ------ the day sleepers.' Missing a word maybe?
Great chapter tho, like how casually/mature Sentinel handles most tings
Hi. If you remember, I paused from reading your story a little while back because I caught up with the chapters. I thought, if I wait maybe a week or 2, he will be about 10-12 chapters ahead of where I stopped. I stopped at chapter 82.
I just got back and HOLY HELL! you are up to 150+ moderately sized chapters?!?!
Keep this up!
Yea for journal with agreement for a spinoff if it bogs down the story.
Also about the dropped rock. Give it a hefty push down at the start, don't wait for gravity, the faster the better Ke=1/2MV^2. A mage shielded rock at say 6 or 8 miles per second should be quite effective
I whole heartedly enjoy the journals of little Sentinel. We get to see the young and thoughtful perspective of this youth who is trying to find not only his place of duty, but his thoughts and promises to himself in his future.
Sentinel's journal entry provides a good parody of the "Friendship Letters from the show that encapsulate the theme of the episodes so well. Seems like a good idea to me.
And a thousand years from now, Lord Commander Sentinel Bitters Journal writings will be required reading in every school. His words will be referenced in almost every subject, from Pony ethics and psychology, to Leadership and Military tactics. But his very first journal, a work collected and written by his sister Harper is considered his most famous and prolific. "The Lord's Squire"
I didn't spot any typos this chapter.
I am in favor of the journal entries, but I would not be opposed to seeing them split off into their own separate-but-linked story if you feel the need to do so.
Definitely keep doing the journal entries. They make me love Sentinel all the more.
As for the story, Bucky's Declaration of Equindependence is definitely going to make waves. This is a very daring social philosophy he's putting forward. I look forward to more reactions.
Also, Sour Mash is a fantastic character.
I look forward to more.

It feels odd for me to say this, as often as I find myself an advocate for both immortality and transhumanism, but in this case I find myself glad that Bucky won't be living forever. To mangle a quote from a movie, that almost undoubtedly stole it from somewhere else, "It's not just about living forever. The trick is still living with yourself forever."
I like Bucky, I do, but honestly? I don't think he can handle that. Bucky is an inherently flawed individual, and it's his family that's keeping all the pieces together, without them I'm afraid Bucky would just... fall apart. He just isn't the kind of person who could outlive his family, and the chances of things ending happily should he become immortal are astonishingly low. Oh, sure, he might not crack at first, but sooner or later he'd have to face the darkness within himself, and without his family to keep him grounded he'd almost certainly lose.
Perhaps one of his children, or his children's children will one day be ready to pick up the mantle he put down, but until that time the title 'Alicorn of War' will remain untouched. All I can hope for is that said scion of Bucky's is a rambunctious little unicorn, maybe a bit short for his age, but tough as nails; and perhaps just a little bit... neurotic.
*Keep the journal entries going if you can, they're fantastic.*
4916044 When I said that he would live forever I meant as the Lord of Winter, not the Alicorn of War :p
To the bat pony I say this:
Oh little one, you have started on a great path. You are so close to the truth. Know this though hate only feeds hate. You do not stop hate with hate you stop it with love.
Love thy enemy be good to those that hurt you. You only can kill your enemies when you make them into friends.
I say yay on the journals!
I say add them... sentinel intrigues me and his intake on things is refreshing I mean don't get me wrong I like Bucky ideals on drunken nookie but sentinel has great points
Sentinel has a very noble charm to him that makes him so endearing. He wants to do right and follows his father's example. It's sort of like how Scootaloo idolizes Rainbow Dash. It adds so much to the character.
I hope we hear more from him. He is quite a good writer.
4916143
Ah, I see.
In that case it's WoA (Word of Author), but I would assume no.
Sentimal's journal? Sounds like a nice idea. I'd say to put them in when he has something noteworth to say.
The journal is a nice touch, I think it should stay.
The only problem I have with the journals is that they're too well written, Sentinel has only been in school learning how to properly write for how long, several months now? I know it doesn't really matter, but just a thought. On another note, what is everyone else doing? The inhabitants of the isles don't seem to be mentioned terribly often, and when they are they aren't truly necessary to the plot. Shouldn't they help out more in something related to the adventures of Bucky, or at least more than just taking care of themselves?
I say keep the journal, but don't use it in every chapter and don't shoehorn it into places it won't fit into.
That's my advice anyways.
I say keep them!
But not in every chapter.

I actually went through with a fine toothed comb and replaced many of the words with more simple versions and fewer syllables.
Sentinel was being groomed for protocol and service before Bucky arrived. He had some writing skill, just not very much.
He's well spoken though due to his training as a page / errand colt.
Lyra in the one to blame really, well, and Pina with her dictionary.
Imagine having an Ivy league tutor working with you solo and bringing you up to speed. That's Lyra after she graduated from Celestia's school.
I vote to keep them, squire is quickly becoming the lore master of this fledgling tribe, his thoughts are an important reflection on the overall progress of the story.
4917615
His brown trout cutie mark is really coming in handy.
4917572 a licorice of fertility
Yay!
Yay.
yes sentinel, when someone makes a hate filled comment, the best thing to do is respond with more hostility and hate, THAT WILL FIX EVERYTHING. I mean racially biased ponies started the Earth Pony riots one way or another, so responding to "mud pony" with violence will only make it worse
and here I was thinking Sentinel had finally learned common sense
Not sure if you're terribly concerned about typos in old chapters, but I found one
4917814 Bucky meets Derpy.
Pegasi are brutes.
Unicorns are snobs.
Earth ponies are numbskulls.
Hijinks and misunderstandings ensue.
Pony biology/psychology/sociology.
More misunderstandings.
Nothing is what it seems.
New ideas.
Foals.
Family.
Even more misunderstandings.
Love.
War.
Destiny.
Bucky pursues his desires.
Powerful entities pursue him.
It all comes down to...
The Chase.
Bucky calls himself The Lord of Winter... Brace yourselves, Winter is coming.
Sentinel wants to write some very eye opening books. He has a fish for a cutie mark. A big fish. Why do I imagine it as a Halibut just slapping ponies across the face?
Another well done chapter dude, awesome job well done!
BEAN!
Oh, I know I'm very late to the party, but I love the journal entry. Sentinel is rapidly becoming my favorite character, so 'hearing' his innermost thoughts on the story's rising action in this arc is welcome.
I suppose I'm a Runner now.
Balls! A mother - son conversation about BALLS!
