these were great chapters. on the subject it reminded how words, however unintentionally that they where said, can hurt the people that you care for and that you don't realizes much later how mean and insensitive those seemingly innocuous words where just plane, horrible to say to that person can sound like.
For what I can understand Thunderlane's behavior, how seem to not know as much of social graces that he should have, and mostly self-centered, was simply unaware how all his words had cut deep into Derpy's self-confidence was just put it simply incredibly insensitive and rode on his part. I also didn't like he tried to bargain with her to have blow job as a compromises on their first night together, I think that it showed how self-centered he is and that he has a long way to go to become a good pony.
I would say that his actions where more about just a lot complaining to his marefriend over something that she has absolutely no control. I supposed for him to be redeemed in the eyes of the readers, he would have to be known to him that his callus words had really hurt her and compromises his friendship with her and that he would need a lot of explaining how bad it was of him. If he has a lick of sens to him and really care for Derpy and he would have start to realize of his actions and apologize to her and promise to never do such a thing again.
6560978 Thunderlane is totally wrong for her. He isn't sensitive or empathetic, and too self-centered to realize where Derpy needs support. I always got the feeling this was more of a conquest for him, as he never showed any indication of actually caring for Derpy, and was only concerned with furthering their physical relationship.
In this depiction, Derpy is too good for a selfish pony like Thunderlane. She is hard-working and positive, even though life hasn't been kind to her, and she deserves a pony who will recognize that and support her.
Of course, I could be way off base here. Looking forward to seeing where this goes!
Also, the last line of this chapter has me feeling strangely uneasy.

You are probably right on many points, especially that he is more concerned of satisfying his own needs first then making sure that she feels comfortable with him, but I don't think that it was malicious on his part just incredibly insensitive on his part, but that doesn't mean that can't become better people later in their life, or that they can realize their mistakes later on. Good people are not born saints, they learn from their innumerable experiences that they accumulate in the course of their lives that they share with others to be more sensuous of their actions; and that it is harder for some to do better if they where never thought how to behave toward other.
At the moment Thunderlane sounds like a self-centered youth adult that has still a lot to lean about life and decorum with ladies.
6561241 Of course people (err, ponies) deserve and need many chances to get things right, and I believe Thunderlane (in this incarnation) is capable of mending his ways, but not with Derpy. I don't think she deserves to be his moral punching bag, especially considering how Thunderlane has insinuated he has been with other mares. For Derpy this relationship is special, and just because Thunderlane is underdeveloped doesn't mean he has the right to take advantage of her naive nature, even if it is for his own betterment in the long run. What he needs is a swift kick, or several, before he should be allowed anywhere near a mare like Derpy.
Look at me, being protective of a fictional character in a third-party interpretation... a double-fictional character. Maybe I'm the one who needs a swift kick
Good writing elicits emotions from its readers, and this is an example of that thing that I just said happening. To me. Sorry, I may be a little caffeinated at the moment.
Wasn't sure how i was going to feel about this story at first but it's actually not bad.
I'll be keeping up with this for sure.
