Oh Poor Scoots. D:

Just once I kinda want to read a story where scootaloo manages to catch a fucking break. She seems to be the fandoms whipping post for tragedy. Ever story portrays her as an orphan, or a runaway, or an abused child.... and now her own mother doesn't seem to love her. It must be fucking tough to be scootaloo.

Maybe one day someone will write a story where scootaloo has an awesome family and a good home life... nah that would be fucking boring.

SURE SUCKS TO SCOOT.

Oh. Oh Scoots.

Yeah.. i've enjoyed trixie's magic bit and rarity's worst day.. but this. No. I don't like. Scoots already has flying problems, don't give her a mother who half hates her for existing... don't give dash a child the same way.
i like scoots, she's so... tenacious. Once she gets flying down, she may even beat dash. What with her scootering, using her wings like crazy.

don't make scoots "a mistake", that just..i don't know. I'm conflicted. I think i could say annoyed.

Only time I like Scoots being an orphan is when by like chapter 2 IF that she has a family with like rainbow dash or something. Heck anything else is better than that.

Oh man, this is going to be hard to read. I know it. I also know it's going to be good.

Try Scootamom.

WHY THE FUCK DID IT TAKE ME SO LONG TO START READING THIS.

HOLY SHIT PEGASUS RACISM AND SCOOTALOO AND JINX I HATE YOU FOR EXECUTING THIS THE WAY YOU DID.

The crazy thing is that this is SO very similar to the Scootaloo thing I was planning on. Ridiculously so.

Scootaloo being the fanon punching bag is fine, but most of the time it's stupid shit like sleeping in the clubhouse and seeing Rainbow Dash as her only family because she's got no real family. But this? This is Scootabuse with a meaning more than "isn't she so sad let's all feel sorry for her." This is something important and--I hate using this word--deep.

There's a little canon hiccup here that I'm sure will be explained as I read on: Scootaloo has friends, she interacts with the m6, she goes to the town's only school, and yet her mom is able to conceal the fact that Scootaloo is hers? Even when Rainbow Dash works with her and interacts with Scootaloo sometimes?

I'm excited by the theme of Scoots' mom doing her best to love her despite everything. Fuck, when you said that this fic would deal with "serious issues" I feared the very, very, VERY worst, considering how hard you've gone with darker elements in the other two. I don't even want to say what I suspected; it's fucking horrible and I hope to Faust I'm wrong.

The end climaxes of both previous stories are good examples of how I don't really like the dark elements in your stories. Your characters dealing with misery, insecurity, and loss was organic and beautiful, but I count three times that you brought "actual risk of death" up in ways that were a little uncomfortable to me. I'm sure I've said by now that those things aren't really my favorite parts of your writing.

But if the painful and difficult themes I just saw in this chapter are going to drive things, I am going to be very, very happy about this story. Yes, Jinx, I DO trust you to write these themes. I can't wait to see them. I was putting off reading this, but now I refuse to NOT read this.

Holy shiz wow. I thought it was Scoot! But wow! Pretty good so far! Flight is a buckin' bitch though...! How could she be so cruel to sweet little Scoot?? <------ Scoot's friends are sad for Scootaloo.

1255182 I read one like that. Everyone thinks she is living alone and they track her down to an alleyway, where they find a hidden passage that leads into some fancy hotel and as it turns out she is really a wonderbolt in disguise who has been watching Rainbow Dash. It was a pretty good read. I wish I could remember what it was called.

Nice Chapter, i wish i had seen the ending of it sooner.

I'm already liking this.
Theme is good, and when Flight got home and the description of her kid with the bruises played out I was like until it clicked that you were talking about scoots. Made me alil sorry for her----but in a sympathetic way. And with Flight's "advice" about relationships I was beyond stunned and then the last line actually made me smile some.

So far; 2 of 5 s and s

I love a good preggers Dash story. Really any of the mane 6, but Dash because of how much motherhood would challenge her personality. On top of that, this is a great pick-up-and-read type story. Also, cool connection with Scootaloo and actually giving her parents. Orphanloo is so tired by now.
I'm just sorry it took me so long to pick this from my read later list!

And so it begins! Excellent start to what I'm sure is going to be an incredible piece of work. I knew, right from pretty early on, that Scoots was that Flights' kid. Now, I don't entirely know why, but I have a gut feeling that there will be a Scootadopt going on later on. Oh, and I need to get this out of my system: GODDAMNIT!! I read such an incredible number of stories, and out of the ones that has Dash get pregnant and actually let her have the foal, it is NEVER a Pegasus. I want our slutty Pegasus to have a Pegasus foal.

My god I hate that so much! It's pegasi not pegasuses! For flicks sake! You're bronies! You should know this stuff! XD
It's cool though. Great story! I love this series. For a fact this was the first story in the series I found. But my rule is I have to read the stories in order. Even though I only wanted to see dash preggers XD. Oh god what's wrong with me?

Yeah, but Dashie is intentionally trying to mock them and make them sound dumb. If she was a bit madder she might have said pegasusususes or pegastupids :)

I just adore the fact that Scootaloo's secret origins are kept secret in the show so that it becomes writing material.
