Glad to see Thunderlane and Filthy get some character development. Athough it would have been nice to see their conversation with Celestia.
Exactly as Moongaze 14 says. That is all.
Oh, that was not what I was expecting. I was really expecting DT and Silver to get away with it. Does this mean Bucky isn't fired? Meh, he doesn't have time for that job anymore anyway.
And man, maybe Thunderlane needed a talking to but Rainbow is a bully. Ironic. I guess that is the pegasus way.
The bunch of barbarians.
What else is interesting is that you seem to imply that in this world pegasi and earth ponies practice herding/polygamy freely, while unicorns society expects monogamy. Or maybe I am reading too much into it.

Ah good you didn't read the spoilers in the comments.
More will be revealed... In time.
And the exchange between Rainbow Dash and Thunderlane... Reread the first part of the story about pegasi bonding rituals. This isn't bullying. This is pecking order. Remember Derpy's reflections about Dinky and Sparkler, and how nose swatting shows love and affection.
The devils really are in the details here.

No, I fully understood that part. Just my inner Cheerliee was alerted and I felt bad for Thunderlane. Also, I am biased against Dash as a character and don't like her pushing others around.
Also, unicorn master race.
still fan-flipping-tastic
Some thoughts over the past five chapters:
I keep expecting Berry to have an uncle named Beer Goggles.
I quite like how earth ponies strike a balance between unicorn intellectuality and pegasus physicality. It make a nice gradient.
Chapter 12 feels a bit too telly with the biochemistry... but on the other hand, I don't see how else you could make it known, and it definitely feels necessary for the story. The mind being a plaything of the endocrine system is a key theme here. Eh, I can live with it.
I was not expecting Dinky's talent to be that, though there is some interesting symbolism. A hive is an even tighter social structure than a flock, a combination of pegasus sociality and the unicorn need for order and control.
Also, when she's older, she can totally make mead with Bucky and Berry.
I'm assuming that given her telekinetic choreography during "Art of the Dress," Rarity is also a class three.
I'm honestly very pleased to see Celestia give Filthy Rich a tongue lashing. That was one of the most satisfying things I've read today. I do feel sorry for Tiara and Spoon — no one deserves the Dr. Bees treatment — but hopefully now they can grow out of their maladjustment.
The mention of the dawn brigade makes me wonder how Fluttershy fits in to the flock structure, given how far she differs from the norm.
Alright, that's enough of that. Looking forward to more.

Fluttershy might not be an active member of the flock, but the flock still actively looks after her.
And she does her part. It felt natural, seeing as how she leads the birds in song during the show.
And yeah, Rarity, type three, full blown neurosis and plenty of mental issues.
Huh... now that was surprising. I expected Filthy to be on the war path... and he will be, but not with Dinky.
And it seems my earlier assumption was wrong as well. Perhaps a bit of ThunderDash?
4327585
This was intentional symbolism. This is Dinky's manifestation of a need to be part of something larger, something where the whole is greater than the sum of its parts. Dinky, like Sparkler, wants to be a good flock member. This is a manifestation of that mentality. You mess with one pegasus, you get the whole flock... Or in this case, a swarm of angry bees that represent Dinky's worldview. An individual can only do so much, but a swarm can overcome anything.
It is the antithesis of Bucky's concepts of taking strength as an individual, well, not exactly just Bucky, but many (though not all) unicorns in general.
There is a lesson to be learned here.
4327597 I assumed she was as she didn't have raw power like twilight it had precision and control with weaker power. Bucky is more control and moderate power? Remember him being called a type 3
4328537
Type one was weakest,agic that has only to do with a talent and generic things.
Type two was the ability to multitask, Rarity is here.
Type three allows the creation of physical objects. High power
Type four is the highest tier for unicorns.
Type five is Alicorns.
4328654
Rarity can manifest fainting couches and other sundry objects.
4328657
I meant as a minimum...
4328654 ty
4328657 nah i think shes a high level type two because she never actually manifested it she brought it along with her. that fits in with the type two multitask category
yeah, growth for more characters! I like this. there are times when people finally loose the veil blinding them to the unfortunate truth around them... I'm glad Rich got to have that moment instead of being a generic antagonist.
... and now I feel sad again.
stop treating my feeling like a yo-yo! I've often felt terrible as a kid when I did something wrong, even if it was an accident, but I'd worry myself sick over it. Hearing "you're not in trouble" was always such a powerful release. I'd damn near forgotten about that.
I have been reading Scifi. Longer than most of you have been breathing, from the first story read, by my late friend Andre Norton, to John Ringo. This is one of the best examples of world building I have seen. The cultural differences between (races) for want of a better word is excellent.
I would have liked to see the Filthy Rich dressing down in story, rather than being told about it, but otherwise good work.
I think one reason I like this story so much is that I have trouble communicating, myself. The amount and severity of misunderstandings is familiar to me. Fortunately, I can communicate through writing much better than through words or actions.
The shower stealer..reminds me of the joker...anyways, well I don't know what to say sooo....I'll just be reading.
Daww
Dinky is cutest filly.
Whew, lot of world building going on, and man oh man, you're such an awesome writer! :D
I love it man, don't stop doing what you do.
Keep it up!

I understand your sentiment, but that wasn't the important focus for Filthy's part of the story. A much better choice to see was what we got
Tis story stole te feels
4327637
I'm suddenly having flashbacks to playing Link to the Past as a kid, and finding out for the first time that yes, while those evil devil kin of chickens are immotal... don't poke it too many times...
*Hides*

Again... I reiterate from the previous chapter:
