goddamnit, i think i need to toss in the towel since you can write better lyrics than i could ever hope to think of
You missed an R there.
lol I finished up to this point after reading for a good 4 hours not fifteen minutes before you updated this

That is an old Scots-Irish folk ballad.
Like a few hundred years old.
I do like your Berry. She is usually represented as a happy drunkard at the best of times, and the kind of
personpony you'd endeavor to avoid at the worst. This is the first fic I think I've read with her that actually gives her some down to earth wisdom and depth beyond the usual stereotypes associated with the fandom's portrayal of her. Also, poor Bucky. And go Derpy, taking charge like a baws!One of my favourite versions of the song.
Turn it up, sit back, relax, and have a drink.
Bucky needs to see a psychologist. End of story. Or at least someone to help him with his issues.
4350328
Who do you think made him that way?
4350333
Oh, I get that you're implying that he falls in to standard unicorn behavior. But since he's trying to 're-integrate' into 'normal' pony society, I imagine that a serious reflection on his psyche would be beneficial. There must be non-unicorn psychologists, no?
4350339
Well, there is Berry Punch, who did in fact take psychology classes in university.
But yes, there are non unicorn psychologists.
There comes a chapter where the need for repression is going to be laid out in horrible detail and will be vital in saving a few lives.
Bucky's apparent weakness will be a strength. But it is going to take a while to get there.
4350354 Interesting. I eagerly await this reveal good sir!
4350354 Hm... A lovely chapter. That's all I can say.
You know, I just realized... The CMC, in the context of this story, have an extremely flaw heard mentality, based in union solely based on (lack of) Cutie Marks...

Or a very healthy one. They are young, and maybe not going to the herd mentality with so many biases.
4350506 or too much of one and Tia's well-intentioned plan will blow up in her face, mass hysteria, dogs and cats living together! Unbridled chaos!!! Mwuahahahaha-hack! *coughs*
this is great, i love it, keep writing to feed my addiction of great fanfiction
To be fair (no pun intended,) that is a pretty nightmarish scenario. And I both laughed and winced at "Stop being neurotic!" If only it were that simple...
Bucky in the brewery was magnificent. It's nice to see him genuinely happy with no caveats. The biology of unicorn metabolism was icing on the cake.
I can't help but wonder what life was like when Celestia ratified the monogamy law. It doesn't seem like her to think so narrowly. I'm willing to bet that there's more to the herd issue than we yet know.
Well, you know it. By "we," I mean the readers.
In any case, looking forward to more. And remember, being married is like being on fire: some people do it to escape ninjas.
4350708 I don´t get exactly what you mean
Good chapters
Another brilliant chapter. Whenever i come across lyrics in a story i sing them to get a feel of the atmosphere. While i had not heard that particular ballad before, i song as thought written like the wild rover. moved me to tears. keep up the good work my friend. here have a mustache
We get it Berry, your family's from horse Scotland! Yeesh!
Feels good to be all caught up...
I'm saying this fulling expecting to come home tomorrow with three more chapters posted you crazy bell-end!
I fact I relate to Bucky more then anyone else does not bode well for me. But maybe its what I get as an engineering student.
Blegh. Good night all.
4350851
Bucky watch at their mental beeing a bit,
mental beeing
beeing
beeing
4351037 So you just care to much about some spelling mistake?
Well if there is nothing more than it is ok, i just didn´t see a point in just improve a comment.
4351083
The word bee. After everything that happenened...
4350022 The Moonshiner?
Well, for Bucky to make progress, he needed to be broken first, and he has been.
Time for him to be built back up with the herd mentality.
4351103 It is ok, it is just not that important for me, nothing else...as long as someone recognize the word it is enough for me.
4351331
Yeah, "The Moonshiner."
4350824
Berry was just being direct and to the point. "Stop being neurotic" was the first thing that came to mind for her.
4351990
You made a pun!
Promises to behave indeed...... he needs to get seriously molested by those two......nothing could break down his uptight nature better.
bring on the love
Pookas! Has someone been watching 'Harvey'?
"'In this world, Elwood, you must be oh so smart or oh so pleasant.' Well, for years I was smart. I recommend pleasant. You may quote me."
4351037 I think i have to apologize, even if i don´t think that i sound mad, i want to make sure and say sorry. Today is not my day and i can´t understand what you mean.
Because Kudzuhaiko give me a simple word wich i could translate i understand finally.
It is a bit embrassing but it could happen i just don´t make sense at the moment for me
4352596
Sorry, now i understand.
It sounds maybe like a excuse but i was not in good shape today and could not understand it right, maybe i was just not full awake at the moment.
well i would say it was just a communication problem and had to happen some day, but i want to say sorry because i think i maybe looked a bit mad.

No worries mang, we're good.
I just spent the last 7 hours reading this story from start to current and I can't remember the last time I read a story that has kept me laughing as much as this one has. There is just so many interesting concepts going on in this story.
The herd dynamic and it's current uses/misuses in day to day pony life is amazing. So much has changed while so much also stays the same. The "corruption" of Diamond Tiara's herding mentality actually would explain a LOT about her actions in general. I love the idea of the tribes maintaining their own identities while still meshing in society. The chasing is great. It seems so random at the beginning and is explained wonderfully. The magic types classification for unicorns is really neat as well. It gives a nice way to look at the different power levels of unicorns without actually having to go into Power Levels like it's DBZ in here or something.
Sparkler and Dinky are great examples of how the upbringing of a child effects so much of their identity. Piña is trying to kill us all with adorableness. I love how Berry is being portrayed in this story. So many people always paint her as the town drunk that it's basically type casting at this point with Berry. Rising Star is awesome. Leave it to the new generation to be more willing to try new things and be more accepting of what seems strange. Chances are Rising hasn't been to the therapists/psychologists much or at all if he is still this open minded to things.
Bucky... Oh the things that could be said about him. There is probably too much to say about him. He's not as strong as Twilight so he CAN have a breakdown that doesn't threaten all of Ponyville and the nearby areas but he's still strong enough that his idea of threat removal is nuclear fusion. I really hope that one day he learns that what he's smelling all the time isn't a perfume.
Now we get to Derpy. She's absolutely wonderful. She's a loving mother, a caring friend, and a great pony to have around. If there was anypony that could truly help Bucky, it's Derpy. Derpy's interaction with Bucky are priceless. She goes with what she knows and sticks to it. She knows this confuses Bucky but is willing to help him through it. Also love the fact that she is teaching Bucky proper Pegasus table manners.
On an unrelated note, I apparently have some scottish in me and apparently knowing The Moonshiner is genetic since I had myself singing it in almost perfect tone and pitch to how some classic versions of that song is done.
Um, so... I made a thing. I was so pleased with Berry's song that I had to do a rendition of it myself. Hopefully it's not awful.

That might be the most awesome thing ever. I saw this on my phone and couldn't load it, and now I came back on my Chromebook and had a listen and I am totally in love.
4388447 jesus christ girl you got talent. can you sing the dragonborn returns now? you should be a bard
Okay, I started reading that fic for cute.
Now I'm reading it for you awesome insight into how could equine society develop and three tribes perceive things differently.
Oh, and romance!
And bunch of other stuff!
The Clancy Brothers sing best Moonshiner. Sorry Berry Punch.
So, how is he lying both prone and supine at the same time?
A great read thus far. Keep it up.

MAGIC!

Definition number two of both, actually.
Supine: failing to act or protest as a result of moral weakness or indolence.
Prone: lying flat, especially face downward.
Alternatively, definition one of supine: lying face upward., and of prone: likely to or liable to suffer from, do, or experience something, typically something regrettable or unwelcome.
Hope that helps that scene make more sense to you!
much the worry now gone
1. Much of the worry.
man that just makes me want a shot of whisky and then lay down as I hum myself to sleep.
