While short I felt that it did itself well for discussing briefly cancer and some of the impact it has on both the ill and their friends. Seeing Cheerliee or really anyone like this is a topic that can be both sensitive and difficult to deal with. I enjoyed the notion of Twilight and Cheerliee as peers of sorts and Twilight's reassurance to Cheerliee at the end, cancer can strike at any age and regardless of the outcome it is difficult to cope with but also how Twilight promising to remember her and her contribution, something that can be reassuring to those near their end.

4447138 thank you for the review. I'm glad you felt it worked despite its short length.

Aren't you disgusted at least a little with the fandom's association with the far-right and nazism these days though? I'm not saying all bronies are, but there sure are plenty. I'm a little disgusted with the fandom these days, I don't even care I got banned anymore. I'm convinced it's a fandom that leans a bit right these days. This fandom fucking started in a horrifically toxic nazi-loving place like 4-chan, though I know it's not fair to entirely judge it that way I guess. Also maybe not fair to judge the fandom after the Indianapolis Fedex Shooting guy last year being a far right extremist brony among other publicized events that give it a bed rep independent of its content, but just a good amount of the anecdotal stuff I see too makes it near impossible for me to stay apart of or value this fandom anymore and I feel honestly a little but stupid of myself for not really noticing/caring for several years when I was an ignorant teenager/college student. These days it seems like a a bit of a breeding ground for the alt-right like other fandoms since its full of geeky single young white men and I know that demographic is heavily recruited in the alt-right.

Perhaps this is blown out of proportion and most people here aren't right wing pieces of shit and the fandom is just getting more of the same misunderstood bullshit it always has. But I can't help but get that impression a bit these days. Since you've been much more involved with the fandom in the last couple years, perhaps you could enlighten me more on this issue since I don't know who else to ask who I know is also a leftist in the fandom. I admit maybe this is really media bias and blown out of proportion but I just want to know the thoughts of someone like you who almost certainly knows more about this. I don't doubt that the majority of people in this fandom are still peaceful and not extremists, I just think the general ideology of people seems to ironically lean a little right these days on average for a show that's all about getting along and acceptance.

Also, I didn't even read the subject of this story, I just chose one at random so this comment wouldn't be noticed and get flagged or something like it might on your userpage. I didn't realize it was kind of a grim premise until after I posted the comment so I apologize. I probably should have just sent you a PM but I haven't sent or received one in so long (several years) I honestly forget they existed here.

First of all, no worries about picking a random story.

Second of all, in regards to shitty right-wing brownies, here's a copy and paste I wrote while really high the other day I only ended up sending the first paragraph of it to the person who inspired it on twitter, but I think it all applies here:

Hi, I'm a communist, and in late 2021 I realized being a dick to people you disagree with, while sometimes satisfying, almost never improves a situation. But love, hope, and kindness do.

While at times history has suggested otherwise, I truly believe that, flawed though we may be, most humans at their core are good people, with good hearts, who want to build a better world. But what exactly that world looks like, and how to go about creating it, is a quite contentious subject for most folks..

If my thesis is true, then so much of that toxicity and vitril and fear and hate ironically come from our very efforts to fight it. Sadly, some people really are just trash humans (and what this entails and how it happens are themselves two of those aforementioned contentious subjects),but if most of us simply want good for ourselves and others—to love and be loved, if you feel so inclined—then we are not each others enemies. Hunger, hatred, suffering—those are our enemies.
And together, we can defeat them, as allies

I may be an overly optimistic dreamer. I know minds are hard to change and values even harder, and that sometimes there are simply irreconcilable differences in worldview. And it's neither fair nor reasonable to expect those who are persecuted or marginalized to be diplomatic with their tormentors. Or, more broadly speaking, for anyone to constantly be the kindest version of themselves.

But like Pandora, I have hope. I believe in people, and I believe in a better future. I believe we all have something to offer and something we can learn from every person on Earth. To quote a certain TV show, I definitely believe that Friendship is magic.

And what's that friendship,
