All right, that settles it for me. He's not ignorant through no fault of his own... he hasn't got a damned clue. If he doesn't do anything, how can he chastise/criticize others? He can't, that's how.
Wow... no dialogue. That's impressive. Also a rather unique take on Celestia. I like it/

**Faints and falls under desk**
4301562 I didn't mean it in a bad way. It's how well the chapter works without it.
4301581
Oh, I took it well.
More of a fainting with relief.
Even if only one person likes it, I'll consider it a success.
I didn't mind that there was no dialogue in this one but I would definitely not like it if this became the norm. It's a nice twist to see done and you certainly get a better view of each perspective, but good dialogue makes a story so much more enjoyable (at least for me) so going without it would leave a story I'd rather not read. Even here, though this worked well at showcasing each ponies motivations, I felt it wasn't as engaging or enjoyable as it could have been to see these personalities actively clashing with each other. Bottom line, it worked great for Derpy and Filthy Rich, but I felt cheated with Bucky and Celestia.
Nicely done, though I hope you do write out Celestia's answer to Bucky's conundrum. I'd really like to hear her take on it.
This world continues to fascinate, but some of what I see borders on horrifying. Unicorns in general are several kinds of disturbing. And then there's Cheerilee. I respect her attempts at tribal integration, but if she's going to try to unite all ponies, she's going to need to find middle ground rather than just drag two-thirds of the student body to earth pony norms. And why, why, why is she taking Diamond Tiara at her word? Anything the little repeat offender says should be taken with an entire salt lick. Cheerille should've learned that by the fourth suspension at the latest. There's forgiving, and then there's just willfully ignorant, pony or no.
In any case, looking forward to more. Again, this is a most intriguing take on Equestria. I especially look forward to further insight into the alicorn mindset.

Celestia's dialogue with Bucky is forthcoming next chapter.
A bit spoilery, but she is going to talk about a former student's friendship studies and encourage Bucky to begin his own friendship studies.
I liked the sans-dialogue approach you took with this one
Wow this story is starting to get complicated with all it's characters. It's not getting too hard I can still keep track of all the events.
I was realized as I finished of the Princess Celestia part that my mouth was hanging open as you had her reflect on the unicorns as a whole and you describe their isolation as a kind of self-imposed trauma. At this point it's some of the greatest insight into how unicorns. It also depresses me quite a bit becaues several of my favorite ponies are unicorns (Twilight, Rarity, Sweetie Belle, Lyra).
I also laughed that as conceded as Filthy Rich is in your story, even he is a fan of Derpy's awesomeness. And that he described all the same reasons I love her too.

Just think about how deeply flawed Twilight Sparkle is. Think about Lesson Zero.
And think about Rarity.
Now think about Trixie.
What do all of these unicorns have in common...
4301552 He runs a business, though.. I'm betting it's actually a great deal more work than Derpy understands. A bit like with Rainbow Dash, perhaps.
He's money-centric, I think. Tied so closely to the financial baggage from his family that he sees everything in bits: RD looks like an under-performing store employee to him, since he considers his tax bits as (indirectly) employing the weather team and the postal service.
I could totally see him giving Derpy an 'employee of the month' mug.
So instead of a herd instinct, maybe DT's been raised with a corporate mentality and a need to be at the top of the hierarchy, and/or any social grouping.
Reminds me a bit of the 1920s 'hard work makes success' stories, like Ragged Dick (No, it's not porn!)
4302224
And you summed up Diamond Tiara before I had a chance to do so.
She sees the herd the same way her father sees employees. She's just trying to weed out the undesirables.
4302127
They have horns and can cast magic!
Did I get it? Was that the right answer? I think I got it.
Well no conversation but still good. I just missed a bit conversation between Bucky and Celestia but i think it could start next chapter too so there is no real problem. I think i understand the point with the Unicorns and how they keep a distance between them and some other ponys. It is interesting and i hope this becomes a large Story i think it has potential if you keep it up with the many prospects.
Well i hope to see a nervous and clumsy Derpy at Dinner with the caring Bucky next Chapter.
I know it is maybe a bit hard but could you try to make a longer chapter? I get to fast trough it and your storys are for me some of the most amusing storys here.

I am working to that end.
A few earth ponies have already had some of their views portrayed.
Misunderstandings, misunderstandings everywhere.
4368552 my thoughts exactly. This entire society seems in DIRE need of a group therapy session or for everyone to write a letter of thought to everyone
i actually think that this would have been alot worse with dialog too. I just have the feeling that if Derpy and Filthy Rich communicated then their viewpoints of each other would be skewed rather then just having that internal monolog of all the characters demonstrate their feelings. Like Filthy Rich saying that Derpy was hard working in dialog you would have to flip flop view-points from Filthy to Derpy to express their thoughts on it which could confuse the reader.
In other news so far i this story so far.
So here's what I've come up with:
Earth ponies tend to be SJs, pegasi SPs, Unicorns NTs, with NFs scattered throughout the tribes. Given that Celestia is about to send another student on friendship studies, I'm going to take a wild stab in the dark and say that she is an NF. I dunno whether this will apply to all alicorns (in my mind it shouldn't).
Just putting that out there. Given my lack of any formal education on psychology, my logic is probably riddled with holes, but hey.
Just my two bits.
In a thousand years; only one?
4522674 That is really interesting. I could be any race as a pony!

Until it mentioned Luna, I thought it was talking about Sombra.
Would've fit well, him being a unicorn and all.
4682748 I thought Sunset Shimmer...
seriously, no sunset shimmer? guess many people disliked her after the first movie. but the previews i saw seems to indicate that she is more fleshed out in the second one. and any misgivings i had about the potential of sunset shimmer kinda shoved to the side thanks to a story called long road to friendship. about sunset shimmer trying to adapt to the idea of friendship and being under a curse from the elements of harmony that compels her t obe truthful and to do as others ask of her, and the only way to break away from her selfishness.
other than that........... this idea for the school is kinda like my idea for it all. but the problem is less neurosis being nurtured and more too much magic causing mental instability in the developing minds of unicorns.
Awesome chapter man, legit saucy!
hehehee
4522674 two things
1. I lack internet lingo smarts, so I'm curious as to what SJ's, NF's and the others are.
2. You have the same name as one of my character 8D
You know it's funny, I'v never actually disliked Filthy Rich, it's always been rather neutral. Seeing what goes on in the minds of ponies rather than what they say can lead to a more in depth understanding of the characters you're reading about.
Good chapter. I like this reasoning for Celestia's school.
If he is such a dick then why does he have such respect for Derpy?
huh you keep on saying how much you sucked when you first started this and that is very true
but I'm also seeing the seeds that grew to your skills today, from this chapter
I have to say i have wanted to read this for a while now but have been putting it off because of *points at 928 chapters and 2,338,181 words* that. (if you dont understad what i mean, i have been putting it off because of how long it was) but now that I started i can say it not bad, pretty good actually.
does NOPONY see each other in the right light?
Anyone else see Celestia mentally dancing in her head, yelling "Let the match making begin, I must tell Cadence!" Anyone?
7904676
I think that might just be the point...... Or at least part of it.

...boy you have no idea.
BOI!
