Horrifically Fun

Starlight reads letters from her loved ones.

Inspired by a conversation with Tired Old Man who wrote one of the letters which got me started.

Only issue I have is that his name is Sunburst, not Starburst.

Otherwise...wow. Very deep and powerful.

7090276 Whoops... Lemme fix that. Glad you enjoyed it. :twilightsmile:

I don't really get what happened. I'm sorry....:ajsleepy:

Nice story, can't wait for the next update/new story of yours they always do make me laugh in some way.

7090325 Yep. I fixed it already. Thanks! :twilightsmile:

Wow, that was depressing.

7090347 Ya sorry about that :twilightsheepish: I really need to stop reading comments before the actually story itself it really is turning into more of a bad habit but anyways like I said before nice story can't wait for the next one. :twilightsmile:

7090309 If I'm interpreting it correctly, Starlight had written ALL of those letters. They weren't actually letters from her loved ones. She was writing down what she would have hoped to receive from those she still cared about, living in her own little world (literally and figuratively, since this is supposed to take place right around the season 5 opener). Did I get that right, Justice? If so, that's some pretty deep stuff.

Very well done. :pinkiehappy:

I'm sending this to NBD, he'd appreciate this I think.

Oh, oh my gosh! That was a really good plot twist!

Keep it up! I now understand and it was amazing!

That growing sense of unease the further I read was great.
Good job, man!

Damn.

Well :rainbowderp: This was incredibly clever and fits into her character perfectly. Honestly, I'm surprised I didn't think of this sooner. Well, I guess the orphan thing right off the back and the no letters as well, but this portrayal of her writing these letters to herself is brilliant.:twilightsmile:

...wow.
I love how each one nearer to the end gets a little more crazed, and yet she still maintains the personalities of those she's writing for, so much so that they seem quite like they're really written by those we initially assume wrote them.
Brilliant, brilliant work once again! You, good sir, are an amazing author!

Emotional and insightful. But Starlight's insane motive stemmed from the fact that Sunburst went POOF out of her life when he got his mark... or... if I'm reading this right, she wrote those letters herself.

She stared at the letters. Each one penned by her. Not a single word, letter, tear stain, or smudge created or even seen by another living pony. 

Well. That was pretty sad. I really started to feel bad for Starlight here until I remembered that her damage is a self-inflicted product of what had to be a streak of unbridled stupidity. It's almost like whenever I saw my little sister crying because she injured herself while throwing a tantrum despite being a teenager.
