Just a pony being fabulous. Writer of vignettes, clop, experiments, a great deal of trash and the occasional gem

Edited by : Docontra Thank you so much!!!

I'll be honest...this was deep. Especially the story behind it.

I love it! X3

Many feels were experienced. A+ writing on your part.

Awwww, i wish i could hug Derpy!
This fic hit me straight in the feels, well done!

"Just because you're having a bad day doesn't entitle you to be an asshole," as the saying goes. :twilightsmile:

It's a good lesson, yeah. I've been there. Good story.

Good show of Twilight. Sometimes we mess up and do something we regret (like Twilight do here). The important thing then is how we cope with it. Twilight, indeed, is one who owns up to her failure and tries to make things better.

I know that feeling. Working in sale too. Though most customers we have are OK. Some are quite nice - some are best when they go. Quick.

This story was very touching - and truly a valuable lesson of friendship. So really nice done. Have my like and my fav on this.

I would follow you - if I didn't already. So have this practical moustache instead. :moustache:

This reminds me of something I read a while back. Number Nine (The Punching Bag) seems especially appropriate.

Loved this story. And the author notes. Sadly you are right.

A very sweet and touching story, with a strong lesson for everyone to take to heart... I would hate Twilight for making Derpy cry, but she did well to make amends. Pony hugs seem like a good cure for any problem.

Thank you for sharing the story, and I'm honored that the picture helped to inspire it!

That picture gives this story a cuteness blast yield of easily three hundred kilod'aaaaaaws.

Derpy looks confused. Slapped then snuggled by royalty, all within a minute or two.

6035010 She probably thinkin "What in the **** is wrong with this mare?"

6035077 "Princesses be crazy."

the comma after nopony in the short description was unneeded :trollestia:

Thank you for sharing this wonderful story! I myself have been on both sides of this situation. Both are hurtful to everyone (everypony) involved but if there is a sincere apology the situation is usually changed to a loving understanding that we all matter and that we should all be loved for who we are. We all have gifts to share with one another. Always be willing to seek some ones gift. They might just surprise you. A lesson I have experienced the hard way.

Thank you again for a lovely story. It truly made my day!

6035091 Hey, you thought puberty was bad? She just grew a pair of freaking wings! Princesses have a right to be crazy.

As someone who has often felt the same way Derpy did in this story, I just want to say bloody fine job! Definitely a lot feels here. You've earned yourself a fave and a like.

Man...I've been there...Well done!:pinkiehappy:

I loved this story. It captured a lesson, possessed the right voice, and came together beautifully.

Ha, Rarity is in your name, and you delivered a gem. </shameless>

Like the late Terry Pratchet once wote:

"The princess had a mind that ticked like a clock and, like a clock, it regularly went cuckoo.”

Customers don't want my wrath? Then the damn twits should pick up after themselves. #1 reason why I hate being out in the main shop and prefer the little workshop I've set up out back, where I can fix old computers all day. Damn customers can't wreck those, at least...

Job well done, I like it. GO DERPY GO :derpytongue2:

It's rare for 1,500 words to earn a following from me, but damn it if this doesn't do it

This spoke to me on levels i didn't even know i had. thank you for writing this.

Huzzah.
No other words for it. Very powerful in such a small package. :fluttercry:
Thank you for the story!

This... This piece right here... It speaks volumes in just a few words. It says perfectly why I love Derpy, and shows the world what it means to be a little bit kinder. Even if we hurt someone, we can still try to make it right. This piece was beautifully done, my friend.

Oh...okay, maybe not the saddest story in existence, but it did make me cry. :twilightblush:

6051355 If I don't like a customer I pass them off to my manager.
I wonder why my manager hates me?

This story was fantasic. You captured the sentiment perfectly. I know what it feels like to be on the reciving end of someone else's anger even though you didn't have anything to do with it. To be considered the screw up, or the one to blame for every little mistake. You captured all those sentiments and more, and left me reduced to tears.:fluttercry: :raritydespair: :raritycry:
Well done.:twilightsmile:

If you want my opinion on this story, read the title and chapter heading.

Wow! Simply WOW! There are days when I feel I've not been the nicest of people (or the best pony I could be....). Then a short story shows me how I could do better! So very well done!

I've been cursed! Cursed with feels I do not understand!

very inspirational! :twilightsmile:

Nice message, and I hate to be the jerk here (especially since I also work a service job), but being cute and sympathetic isn't the same as being competent at your job. Assaulting someone isn't acceptable no matter how bad they are at it, but still I've been on both sides of this one. Your example in the notes doesn't even fit: not getting a package she's been expecting for months isn't her fault (though the Twilight I know would've simply hit up the post office after they missed the first expected delivery date) unlike not paying a bill and then yelling at a call center rep for it. Watching someone keep a job they're terrible at based purely on being too... whatever... to get fired... that's something I do every day. Do I want Derpy fired? Of course not, but rather than just telling people they're okay as they are, help them be more than that. I hope Twilight follows up on this because seriously...
The Princess of Friendship, with a special talent for magic, can do nothing more than give a pep talk? Further, this is a pretty dark version of Equestria versus the canon where Derpy's an alternative for the relay team (don't recall if Slice of Life was out by the time of this publication, but Rainbow Ralls was at least). You constructed a version of the world designed to make us feel sorry for her. It clearly works for a lot of readers, but... I don't know. Telling someone they're perfect is telling them they don't need to grow and improve.. really it's telling them they can't. I just... don't like that message. Derpy's not perfect, and that's not a bad thing. The hug's a good start but Twilight... do better than that.

I'm upvoting this... not because it led me where it seems to have led a lot of the comments and not because it tricked me into feeling bad for Derpy. I'm sorry but it's just too stacked against her. It broke my suspension of disbelief as I thought 'wait a minute... Ponyville only gets this mean when they're setting up some obvious moral... I'm upvoting because this made me think about myself, and a coworker I should be doing more to help. Another individual who's decidedly not perfect.

I think you got the message perfectly clear. Everybody wins. :raritywink:

WHY DO I KEEP EATING THE FRICKIN FEELIOS RRRFFGGH
TOO MUCH FEELS DARNIT
I CAN'T DEAL WITH THIS MANY FEELS
(Hey that rhymed)
Sorry. I just saw a really sad play, read two of your Diamond Tiara stories, and now I'm reading this bundle of feels. It really is a good story, just... Feels overload

The term that springs to mind is "cloyingly saccharine".

Holy shit that put a lump in my throat and made my heart feel like there was sand in it. Really good story! :raritycry:

I can see obbascribbler narrating this. I hope she would one day I know she'll do a good job.:pinkiesmile:

A little rough around the edges, but still really sweet. Well done. :twilightsmile:

Sequel pls

:fluttercry: Don't worry, Derpy. You're perfect.
