Celery is big and husky.
And now she speaks with husky.
I like husky.
So does ketchup.
Are typos crunchy or gooey? Maybe crunchy on the outside, gooey on the inside... like a changeling?
That moment when Celestia may be the most damaged one of them all, including bucky, and She's the one everyone looks to for guidance. While it doesn't really excuse her jumping to conclusions and responding with anger right off the back, I can understand the basis of where it comes from. I have to feel for her abit. As for Sentinel and Lyra, they amuse me and now I have to try Hot sauce on roasted marshmallows. Harper cracks me up. Loved this chapter.
Ha! Death goop!
That should be "you"
over any
you
unnecessary possessive
LOL
great chapter, the goop of death
I just did a quick count.
The Chase now contains over 24000 words.
Different words, that is.
(I have not bothered to collapse endings, and defining 'word' as any string of upper and lower case letters.)
The of's have been doubled!!
Missing an 'f' here.

Why not both?
6091986 Because it would taste weird.
Ugh. Let's just... let's just get to the next chapter.
6092018
What an odd comment.
6092033
It's the sound of a defeated man desperately wishing to strangle Fluttershy and shake her some, but knowing she's fictional and thus his hands will never find her neck. I told you I have a strong injustice complex. You don't... talk down to someone when they did all they know how to do in a time-sensitive situation to save everything and everyone they ever loved, especially since Fluttershy didn't know for sure her idea would work, and putting Bucky in Tartarus to give them time to figure out what to do was proven to work. She was completely in the wrong in this and here she is, preaching like she had the moral high ground when she's the one who jeopardized all (local) existence.
She can't even say shit about Celestia becoming angry at them. "Ooh you jumped straight to anger and mistrust." Well Discord almost cost Bucky his freedom because of HIS mistrust, so why is it Celestia's fault that she didn't trust the lunatic mad tyrant killer when the fate of the world was at stake? If she has Discord's memories she KNOWS the answer for why Celestia doesn't trust him, both for his reign over Equestria and what happened to the alicorn race. That's not something you GET OVER just because a draconequus did one important thing that ended up helping you, when it wasn't even intended to help you to begin with. She'd be out of her mind to just purely trust him with the knowledge she has. THAT was normal, but no, Fluttershy is always right. Even had to bring up Kindness even though she's never BEEN kind, only cowardly or a bitch, her understanding of kindness comes from her mortal life, not from some mystical well of chaos which MIGHT have been enough to give her an edge in being correct, and frankly Celestia's understood and propagated a lot more kindness than Fluttershy ever did staying holed up in a goddamn HOBBIT HOUSE not spreading kindness to Equestria with her weak-willed paralyzing fear of her own kind who needed that supposed kindness she was meant to be the harbinger of! Yet there's Celestia, spreading kindness to Equestria whenever she could manage against forces determined to keep her locked down, for who knows how many lifetimes! Fluttershy's in no position to preach her brand of doormat gullibility 'kindness' to someone who's been a champion of the real thing. It's fucking patronizing.
The world was at stake. The very heavens were at stake. Celestia made the call, and it was an appropriate solution, one with practically guaranteed success that could even be rectified later once they'd had time to go over other options. But Fluttershy is the one who gets to be condescending and patronizing and act like she gets to scold someone who's accomplished so much more over this one little issue that could very well have ended up killing everything and everyone. Celestia made a call based on facts and information, and wisely removed her personal feelings from the mix - like a true leader, a respectable person who knows how to do the right thing. Fluttershy threw a bitchfit and risked everything and everyone and now she acts like the top dog due to it. Who is she to act like this? Just Fluttershy. The same Fluttershy who fainted like a goat, the same Fluttershy who abused her fellow Ponyville ponies and for all we know never apologized to them. The same Fluttershy who was afraid of her own shadow, who thinks being kind to animals is more important than Applejack's entire way of life and one of Ponyville's main food sources. She should be the Element of Naivete with all this 'If I hope things will be alright, they will be!' crap she espouses.
And just like with Ripple I get the feeling no one is going to put her in her place because it 'turned out she was right'. So, I'm just going to wait for the next chapter so we can move past this, because I could keep going and I don't even have the energy to completely psychoanalyze everyone involved in this and point out their flaws, lacking data or no, I still have context, and nearly regardless of what else is revealed the attitudes we see are just... wrong. The one who does the right and appropriate thing is left depressed and chastised, and the one who overreacted out of emotion acts like some kind of chiding saint. Meanwhile the readership practically has no choice but to agree with Fluttershy because no one wanted anything to happen to Bucky, and Fluttershy's the one who miraculously pulled that 'victory' out of her ass. The other characters, the direction of the writing, the arrival of the 'new filly', it seems like even the story is meant to support that we should be praising Fluttershy.
Bluh. Bluh I say.
6092175
I think your bias is miscolouring the events. What you say isn't exactly what happened here. For one thing, Fluttershy admitted her own fault in all of this, so she isn't blameless. That right there destroys most of your argument because of it is built upon that principle.
Also, Celestia also admitted her own fault in all of this.
6092005
No it doesn't.
6092205
Incorrect. My bias would make a far more vehement argument. I left it at home. I also took into account 'admittance of blame' and that doesn't destabilize anything I said. Fluttershy's attitude is inappropriate for someone who risked it all over an emotional outburst and some flash of chaotic memory. Admitting blame and then talking down to someone who did what was objectively the right thing is my problem with this. The patent unfairness. If Celestia had been the one to do this I'd be making a similar argument based on her own many faults and the preconceptions derived from being over-experienced and set in her ways.
But that's not what happened. Fluttershy was a bitch. Just because you admit some blame doesn't just make shit disappear and not happen, Kudzu. But like I said, the story's flow favors Fluttershy here, so that was likely intended. No point in actually arguing it. World at stake, but Fluttershy gets to claim the moral highground. Apparently admitting some wrong somehow makes that okay. I know you're waiting for me to say that isn't logical or doesn't make sense so you can point out she's a draconequus again and that they aren't logical and don't make sense.
I reiterate: Bluh.
Man.... That last statement from Harper is so fricken' hilarious. "NO, YOU EAT DEATH GOOP!"
6092292
But no one is being favoured here. Both have admitted mistakes and have accepted fault in the situation. It is a mutual feeling.
No one was talked down to, things were pretty even keeled.
Extra "me?"
That aside, I can't help but feel that Fluttershy is a bit OoC here. However, given the circumstances it is a bit understandable. Probably the biggest part of it that stuck out for me was just her popping in during family time and saying "We need to talk;" I don't see Fluttershy at all being that up-front and intrusive right from the get-go.
I am glad to see that all the apologies got around to being given and accepted though.
I know it's not nice to laugh at others' pain, especially a toddler's, but...
, the image in my head, is just too cute! ...And upsetting that a little one is hurting.
Kudzu, stop! M-my sides, they can't take it!
Well, death goop is my new favorite phrase. Thank you Harper.
6092482
OoC for stock Fluttershy, yes.
Fluttershy as an emerging draconequus... who is to say what she would act like?
6091922
Unity
Duty
Destiny
These are the three virtues the great Spirit, Mata Nui, gave to us his people
6091590
Technically I never left, being an all encompassing entity that helps those move on when it's time.
I do how ever get passes to weddings.
I love the cake.
It's like fluffy, frosted, edible love.
And I'm already wearing black. So win win.
6092757
Heh, yah, I'm a Bionicle Fan.
6092292 You sir have made a bad habit of ruining good stories with your big mouth. Admit that you just love to hear yourself talk and I won't click report on your homepage.
When you see what Celestia is about to do and you see her getting all angry because people are trying to do a good thing and you're sitting there like

6093263
Whoa, now now, let's not be ugly towards one another. There is no need for that, we can have different opinions and he wasn't rude or uncivilised in his posts. He's allowed to see things a different way.
Your story is now officially the longest on Fimfiction. Congratulations!
6093347
Thank you.
6093349 haha just for that quick reply, I'm gonna give it a shot, even though it seems a bit different from what I usually read.
6093354
I try to respond to people if they say something to me.
People say Tolkien always solved everything with the Eagles.
I say you always solve everything with foals.
Lots, lots of foals.
EVERYWHERE.
6093403
Foals. Hope for the future, because the current generation has screwed everything up.
6093278 Except he's done that in other areas of the site I've checked usually you can tell it's him because it way too opinionated to be fairly short and he goes on a rampage with his comments almost every time he does comment. I'm telling him to stop because it's becoming a bad habit.
6093500
He's a bit miffed, that's all. It's understandable. He loves Celestia as a character and when she's in a pinch he usually has a lot to say.
I'm just trying to keep the peace here, that's all.
6093509 Hmmmmnnn....actually that mentality might explain a lot. I still think he needs to chill though.
6093537
We all have characters that we love an adore. We all hate to see them in a scrape.
And some of us come to their verbal defense when it happens.
It is this kind of passion that makes our fandom what it is.
6093593 I honestly like what I see on this site. Haven't watched much in terms of actual episodes, but I do love a good fic if I can get my mind around it.
Now the question we should be asking:
Which of Bucky's Herd does the adorable little seething ball of hate end up hitched to?
I could see her joining the All Filly Herd of Tourmaline and Ditzy. They're all weird and powerful and unique in their own rights.
And you've got the trio thing going on. A Dark Essence Earth Pony, a High Wizard Unicorn, and a Bug Type Pegasus.
Each with their own magic and could balance each other out without being at odds with one another.
Not to mention they're the only two I could think of that would have the raw power to withstand a Nightmare's temper tantrums or the empathy to see why she's so easily upset.
6093537
You can't report someone for having an opinion. Trolling, yes. Abusing the report function? Yes, oh yes. You think I should chill, you hound my posts to 'check' on me? Sounds like harassment, stalking even. In fact, I think you should chill and stop riding me. But hey, that's my opinion. If you've got something you think actually matters and is worth saying, come to my PMs. We'll have ourselves a chat. Cuz see, you have no actual say in anything I do, but you can at any time disagree with it and talk with me about it like two regular people.
What you do have is an opinion on what I have to say, and to a lesser extent how I say it. And you know what? That's perfectly fine with me. I'm okay with that. You don't agree, that's cool. Anywhere I go there's people who agree and people who don't. The latter sometimes like to make an argument of it, they like to fight, and I come out looking like the bad guy most of the time because I don't intend to lose fights they pick with me that I happen to find interesting enough to partake in. Because I'm the heavy-handed one with the anger issues, and that's all anyone looks for - aggression. Aggression means bad guy, even when it's been provoked. Story of my life... can't be anything more than a submissive beta male without people calling you a villain. It's more rare, but much more notable, when I actually start crap myself. Sometimes a joke goes wrong, sometimes I see someone saying something so offensive or stupid I step in and give them a piece of my mind. Hell, once a year I might just get a bug up my ass and metaphorically kick someone in the teeth for no reason, and usually I'll apologize for it later if they were a decent human being. Frankly, most of the time I step up to the plate I'm defending an author from trolls or assholes in their readerbase, defending a story from pointless detractors, making myself a big target so jerks and attack-groups go after me instead of the author or readers, or even defending a readerbase from the asshole author at times. I rarely actually attack people out of the blue, even if I seem like a jerk - I don't usually qualify as one.
But yeah, you got an opinion. Bring it to my PM box if it's an opinion you want to talk about, but don't presume to tell me what to do or how to comport myself, and for God's sakes don't mess up our lovely comment thread with this junk. Come sit and have a chat with me in private, and we'll hash out what your problem with me is. Civilized, preferably, but if you want a yelling match I can probably squeeze in one of those tonight, if that's some form of catharsis for you. Just know the offer's extended with the intention of civility resulting in a mature discussion between reasonable adults.
6093718
Ugh, incest.
6093764
It's not for everyone! (And sometimes there's accidental incest, like Than proposed with that matchup, the foals are getting difficult to keep track of at times) And for those who it is for... well, there's always headcanon.
6093764
They're like fourteen levels of removed from each other and raised apart.
It's not like Sentinel and Pina for instance. For Tick-tocking Taurtaurus sake they're not even the same metaphysical species let alone kin.
Though I would imagine getting Chrystalis' permission seems unlikely. . .haven't seen her since Las Pegasus got Buckied. Or have we?
6093790
Chrysalis will be appearing... soonish.
6094041
*little school girl squee*
*cough, cough*
I will, uh, muster the Forces of Night in Ponyville's defense. . .yeah, that.
I agree with Harper, hot sauce is made of pain and fire.
"Taste pain!"
"No, Harper, you don't taste with your eye."
At least she didn't put any on her eye.
