Snails has a little problem. It's the mirror in the corner of her room. Everyday it reminds her of something that she's not...and somedays are harder than others.

Deep.
This hit me on a personal level. Thank you so much. I love seeing other takes on a trans Snails, or Glitter Shell. Sometimes better takes. Than my own, that is.
I admit I don't have this problem, but I don't shrug off those that do. It's interesting to see this perspective.
I'd help you with editing, but I'm already doing one more project than I should be right now. Sorry.
I get crazy depressed every time I read a Glitter Shell story, they are always so painful.
Nice story… well, I should say… a well done story. There isn't really anything nice about suffering through gender dysmorphia.
I don't like glittershell. :/
6380138 She does!
A wonderfully descriptive story. It hits so close to home too, wow.
This is a great little introspective story on the issue of being transgendered. However, I had a hard time picture Snails thinking this. Not because of the trans thing, but it just all seems too eloquent for her. It's unintentionally funny when you try to picture all of this being said in Snail's voice from the show.
6381240 There is a rather large portion of the fandom that likes the idea of Snails being 'Glitter Shell.' I don't know why, but I figured if I were gonna write a story like this, I should use a character that is represented as such by the fandom.
6382349
Probably because of the tumblr ask blog that created it, though I keep giggling seeing that the character meme has managed to outpace the actual blog from time to time. Speaking of, do you mind if I post a link to your story on said blog? Or not? Or would you like me to wait till you got that editor you're looking for?
In regards to the story, I like it! It's more than a little heavy handed, granted. But well written!
6382785 Editor first, then blog! :D
6382802
coolio, shoot me a message whenever
I never though I'd read a thought provoking and emotional story about Snails
bravo author, bravo
I would like to to see more of this, Glitter Shell, is a cute name and Snails should become Glitter Shell. She knows she was born wrong, and should go out and become the real her.
Sweet Celestia this hurt to read.
Oh goodness I remember those days. Mirrors are evil, evil things. I love the voice that you have for Glitter in this, and, yeah, good job. Dysphoria sucks.
Ha, I wrote a song a while ago that is almost exactly this story.
Great minds think alike right? My only wish is for this to not be a one-shot, but that's just me being greedy.
In any case, good job ^_^
I haven't read on here in...too long. I've almost forgotten the beauty made by this fandom. The feels ran deep today.
Yeah, that's... that's about how it goes. Complete with the loving, supportive family that want to help you be the best $assignedgender that you can be.
Then puberty hits and things start to get really ugly.
6552239 Try begging a parent in the presence of a supportive therapist to look into pills that could prevent that damage before it happens, and they refuse to. That's fun. Or similar to a story or two over from the same author, having a parent whip themselves up into a frenzy about how the therapist is full of shit and their kid has no idea what they're talking about. That's fun also.
Loving and supportive my ass.

Amusingly the R63 version of Snips and Snails are named Sugar and Spice. I'm actually torn between surprised and amused that she picked something else.
6553970
Hey now, I didn't mean loving and supportive of you I meant loving and supportive of who they imagine you to be.
Awesome ;-;
What do you mean by
?
6601044 X chromosomes and Y chromosomes. The Y chromosome dictates a growth in testis, and Glittershell ls lamenting she was born a 'letter' too late
6601051
Ah, I was racking my brain for like an hour trying to figure it out. I tried every word for boy and girl to figure it out with no success. But what does timing have to do with gender? And there is a missing o in that sentence of the story.
6601265 It is an metaphor, darling.
6601281
And now I feel more out of loop then an unstrung shoelace. Just need to remember things are not as literal as I want them to be.
6601727 Snails is upset He ended up as a boy.
X Chromosomes= Girls
Y Chromosomes= Boys
He was born a letter too late, you see? He juuuust missed being X and instead, he was born Y. Ergo, he's distraught at having been born "One letter to late"

This is extremely pleasing. Sorry for being so difficult.

as a person who's been right where snails is now that hit me like a freight train, excellent work.
I disagree that this is too 'eloquent' for Snails/GS, especially since there's a whole section talking about the difficulty in speaking the words that are inside. This is a beautiful piece, and the chunky, broken-up sentences really reflect what dysphoria is like. You've earned a fave, my friend.
I relate all too well to this
6553974 I'd never heard that. But then I don't usually look for r63 Snails, Glittershell (i.e. transgender Snails) is my fav non-canon personality.
It makes a big difference to my Glittershell that she has others she can trust with her secret.
I did the math, and there are probably a few other Ponies even in a town as small as Ponyville (population about 2000 but rapidly growing) who are transgendered in some way, shape or form. Probably not the exact same way Snails/Glittershell is, though, and probably not around her age.
My Glittershell doesn't know who they are. But she has other friends she trusts -- most notably Sweetie Belle and Rarity.
That helps a lot.

Who's the dark Pegasus?
6380138
Then why would you want to read a story about her? It's not as if you were dragged to this tale at crossbow-point, now is it?
7093767
Why the fuck are you responding to a months old comment?
7094341
In ancient Mesopotamia, it became useful for the priests and merchants to keep accounts of goods, so they developed first a symbology of little clay tokens and then marks on the clay tokens which became a writing system. This means that one's thoughts can survive even longer than "months" -- we've read Mesopotamian records some five millennia old! Isn't that wonderful?
7094525 Darling, if you could maybe keep your comments on the story above, I'd be most appreciative.
7094530 You know it's not gonna happen right ? The comment section is the most dangerous of place : if you lost yourself there, there is no escape. Anyway, Glittershell is very strong : she deal with the hardest of life. By the way, your story is really good : have a like
I hope that after all these years things have gotten even if a bit better.
Even though its 2020 and shit's going down everywhere...but still life goes on.
