trying to see how many ways i can hurt applejack, apparently Ko-Fi | Pronouns

After her visit to her cousins’ place in Ponyville, Babs Seed finally goes back home to Manehattan. Things are exactly as she remembers them being - miserable. Why does nopony notice her?

Written as part of monthly prompt writing, the prompt was Overlooked. Thanks to everyone who read it beforehand and said all those nice things! ^^

Chapters (1)
Comments ( 23 )

I liked it, even with.. you know.. the trope we talked about >_<

*cough* yeah uh, I definitely don’t agree with the trope in general, I know a lot of great teachers!
Babs just isn’t so lucky :fluttershbad:
But I’m glad you liked it anyway :)

It's been a long time since I last saw a Babs story.

Good stuff. She deserved more episodes.

I would read a series that goes more into this

If I ever lack inspiration, I might just do something about that

Wow, short but good. Nice work! :derpytongue2:

Thanks! I kinda wish I coulda written more, but I needed to keep it around 1k. Although I'm glad you liked it anyway! ^^

Honestly I wishI could do something like that. Almost everytime I write a one-shot it turns into like three chapters :rainbowlaugh:. I think more would have been great, but I like it the way it is

That’s fair, I’ve been having that struggle recently too, which is why speedwriting has been so handy in making me actually do short things haha

That ending line was really nice. Though this feels more like the beginning of a story rather than a story on its own. Hate to see poor Babs getting bullied like that :fluttercry:. I wish she could've gotten the the last laugh at some point.

Yeah I definitely agree with your first point. I would have definitely enjoyed having this be longer, but we had a soft limit of 1k words. That being said, I’m glad you enjoyed that last line.
And I definitely hate her getting bullied too ToT

It's hard to be invisible when your mane is that brightly colored, Babs. Anyway, a good look at how Babs might have regressed upon first returning home.

To be fair, considering ponies like Pinkie Pie and Rainbow Dash exist, Babs is kind of dull. Glad you enjoyed :>

Are you bullying a horse in the comments of a story about why bullying is bad?

10759159
HAHA no I didn’t mean that in a bad way, I just meant her colour scheme isn’t that bright compared to certain neon ponies. Although, I kind of prefer that.

Although, I kind of prefer that.

Hmm, yes, something tells me you like the earthier horses. :ajsmug:

Hehe.
I’m sure I don’t know what you mean :applejackconfused:

Very sad, not much of a solution, it's like to me Babs Seed went home, got no friends, and winds up in the river sadly an unloved pony. The CMC are devastated to hear no pony liked Babs or cared.
