You've created an amazing world here. Bucky knows he is broken, and needs help. Berry and Derpy are perfect for that.
No, I don't remember that... But you posted this chapter just be4 I was going to sleep. Ty <3
tugging at the heartstrings at the end there

Because my words alone can't explain how wonderful this has become!
I do, though I'm not sure why you brought it up.
I loved the brief lecture on the endocrine oddities of each tribe. Also, until further notice, I am calling those mystery organs in earth pony hooves "sanity glands." Pinkie's are clearly faulty.
I really like this take on Bon Bon. She sweetens bitter memories and sour attitudes.
Looking forward to more.

*SQUEE* you have spoiled me good sir :)
I really liked this story when it started, but as it continues I find a couple of things disturbing.
First and foremost is the treatment of Bucky. I find the metaphor of breaking down barriers uncomfortable and inappropriate. If Bucky is as broken, damaged, or wound as tightly as everyone suggests, the battering down his defenses is the last thing anyone should do. Doing so risks either reaching a breaking point where he runs away, or causing more damage in the long run. Instead of battering down his barriers with a ram, I think it would have been better to take the 'boil a frog' approach. It just seems like they're trying to take a watch that's been wound to tightly and fix it by breaking the spring. Sure, it can never be wound too tightly again, but you've ruined the watch in the process. Which assumes, I suppose, that you had any interest in a running watch in the first place. Of course, if you didn't, then why would you care that it's wound too tightly in the first place?
But I digress.
The other thing that was bothering me was the portrayal of earth ponies. I found the image of the unicorn creating light, the pegasus on guard, and the earth pony filling the space between them unfortunate. It says to me, "Hey, pegasi are cool, and can fight, unicorns have cool magic, and earth ponies? They just kinda take up space."
I know that's not what you're going for, and I can see the attempt to resolve it in the last chapter or two, but for the most part EPs still seem weak and rather useless.
Of course, this is just my perception, and not meaningful in any way to anyone but me. Also, I do enjoy the story. I wouldn't have cared enough to comment otherwise. I find the herd dynamic interesting. I also like Bucky, or else I wouldn't care how he gets treated. Not that we're talking about a real person. Or pony. Whatever.
I digress again.
Anyway, keep up the good work. If my comment helps in any way, I'm glad. If not, ignore me completely. That's what everyone else does.
thanks for the update!!

I wish you had waited a little longer to post.
I have a chapter coming soonish that actually addresses a few of these points.

Four, like winter, is coming!

Did you happen to notice just what it was that Bob Bon kept doing the entire time of that talk? And what it says she did with Lyra?
4360466 Took the words out of my mouth.
This is really ineresstig, i don´t know how but you seems to give the story many thoughts, i mean tere are very good reasons for the most things.
Some tings are only making sense later, but that is ok if there are answers for everything.
i don´t know i how i should feel about Bucky, but i could image now it is just a mental wound he get and those tings are sometimes very bad.
I don´t like it when it seems like Berry forces Bucky to do those thing, because she not seems that gentle with her words if he really feel bad but i know that she only mean it good.
I think i understand a secret about earth ponies.... but, to make sure, i will continue reading.
4360719 Only after you brought it up. Woah. Well, now we know what those glands are for.

I just spent 5 minutes walking around in a tizzy working out the herd roles and group, societal roles for the three types of ponies in this. I don't believe this has happened to me before, but I love it.

why can't I do two things? Light the way with a horn, and carry physical things with magic, and the burdens of the group?
just a general question.
.... Is Berry part sheep?
Slightly off topic: Does anypony else have a seething hatred for Riptiders now?

Ah. Earth ponies secrete Truth Serum.
And apparently the Pokemon Masters of the three tribes.

Because apparently, doing the "light the way" part tends to cause mental problems.
Awesome job dude, once more, awesome work on this!
Loving how that all works, how some feel safer with others... so neat.
SCIENCE!
5983635 ...
Yes... yes I do, its everywhere
This means they would hit menopause four times quicker. A mare who's cycles began at twelve and would naturally end at sixty, would be infertile at twenty-four.
I know I'm 90 weeks late for an editing pass, but...
Missing 'me'.
Missing 'have' or 'You've'
Excellent chapter.
Hm. Interesting. So far, I've come across biology, individual psychology, social psychology, history, and politics. What next? Maths? Astronomy? Cosmology? Theoretical physics?
5983635
Just a little bit, yeah

...yes.
