Yay! I'm glad I snuck on here before my bus to work showed up. :)
I really enjoyed all the techniques that Derpy's mom and Amethyst used to help make sure Derpy understood what was going on without making her feel like she was any less a pony. You can certainly see the amount of love the two provide to Derpy through their way of sharing information with her. Much is like very detailed step-by-step instructions. However this is a great way to make sure she understands while feeling in-the-loop over being hit with a lot of detail that may be difficult to grasp during this new time of change.
The way Diamond explained Derpy's brother's condition was perfect. Derpy has shown she can retain information well after it is explained in digestable amounts. Now, like any young one, Derpy will be able to see her brother without feeling scared along with not going into super inquisitive mode. Plus, with her mother's descriptions, she'll be able to put physical context to all she was informed of by her mom. I'm sure some thoughtful doctors and nurses will also help to back up what was explained to Derpy so she only sees positives instead of what could be seen as scary negatives.
The way Amethyst described Derpy's 'Oops!' with the washer was also good, too. It was a correction but not one meant to hurt Derpy's feelings for trying. Amethyst taking over to clean things up is also helpful as, after learning she did something wrong, it is easier for Derpy to move on than be browbeat over something that is already done and will be properly taught the next time laundry comes along. Derpy was just trying to show all she could do, Amethyst understood this, and made sure to keep it private while not being hurtful. That takes a lot of skill as a lot of people tend to forget how fragile a child's feelings are. Especially when they felt what they did was a good thing at the onset.
Great chapter, Wayward! Now to run and catch a bus. Woop!
