My name is Mike Tubapun!! I use she/they pronouns and love a good horse story!!

Trixie has passed. Starlight Glimmer has to deal with this. But the curtains were blue.

Learned the term curtain fic recently. This isn't one of those, but the term made me think of that old "well maybe the curtains were just blue" thing that folks used to say so they wouldn't have to analyze stories or themes. So I used it to try and build a story and it's themes.

Rated T for being about death and mourning.

Cover art is by me!! Check me out on tumblr for more horse related art!!

really good stuff here! i love fics that experiment w words nd literary devices nd stuff, so this was rlly cool to go thru. even if it was “repetitive”, it rlly wasnt, i think u did a great job turning this sort of cliche advice abt curtains nd intent nd such into a thoughtful story :D

Great job on this! It was interesting how the mentions of the curtains kept the story centered on that idea while it progressed through Starlight's grief at the same time. The way Starlight feels detached from everything came out well in the prose. The story had that feeling of numbness one can get in grieving.
