I am imagining a three-stooges style routine between some of these deer...
I think this is the best line in the chapter. (Followed closely by "we shall call thee Wind Breaker",.)
That chapter title, excellent. It might even be a triple pun.
Oh deer. You caught me in a rhyming mood.
What lurks behind the door is fear,
And they would rather not be near,
But instead would rather peer,
At the weirdo arm-head deer,
They do not want to be here,
But they must blame the broken Spear,
Whose motives are still yet unclear,
Who sealed them all within the sphere,
With bad conditions - quite severe,
With its frozen atmosphere,
And now these four to persevere,
Must a solution pioneer,
Work together, solve and ere,
The Sun Princess they all revere,
Comes and turns Skyreach to a smear,
So it is time to turn their ear,
To ancient records overhear,
The story of great mutineers,
To reach where madness from did sneer,
And our heroes pack their gear,
With the mares there at the rear,
To hope that they can interfere,
And solve the problems that appear,
And end their jaunt there in good cheer,
And in some far flung future year,
Think of Skyreach, shed a tear,
And laugh with all their loved ones near.

Gosling and Pals would have a field day with them then.

My sides!
This is definitely a great chapter! I am particularly fond of Rainbow's new nickname! >=)

Well I just had an image of a group of that deer holding AK's spouting Arnold and Stallone lines at each other.
Boxing deers...genius!
Boxing deer needs an animation.

There is a picture.
I hope the Boxing Deer escape the end of Sky Reach

I just saw the picture.
I am glad something like thay does not really exist. Just imagine if it were to gain sentience and achieve space travel. Imagine meeting something like that in space. Nu-uh. Nightmares.

Flip side of this equation is without her foreknowledge they got into the predicament they are in, that and knowing what she knows and not telling them and THEN pretty much writing them off and doing their funerals and starting the grieving process is kinda bitchy really. Yes it hurts but not giving them even a 1% chance to survive with the knowledge she carries is even worse.
I mean prepping them for the no magic/flight field alone would have given them more of a chance than blindly falling to their doom once the ship crashes, or telling them the delineating area of effect so they could land outside the field then use the not damaged ship as a home base, and or leaving if they decided that the weather was going to kill them. At the bare minimum she could have told them THAT. Letting them die from that oversight really is wrong.
Heck when Maude and or Twilight decide to go find Rainbow and Tarnish (cause you know they would) would she let Twilight die the same way?

Stop.
You don’t know anything about the situation or even what is really going on. You are in no position to judge.
There is a LOT that has not been revealed and arguing about it now is foolish. When the reveal happens, any position taken now will just look like stupidity.
She couldn’t have told them anything, because she doesn’t know. Just like you don’t know.
8309031
Ok I will, but its just that from the information presented so far thats the only conclusion I can make based upon the information given. The character of Celestia always seems to play the I know more than you card regardless of who writes them, and to a point this is true of somebody that's lived as long as she and her sister have. That we have not gotten any details from Her side in this story yet leaves understanding of what she actually knows open to a very wide interpretation of the currently know facts.
1. She knows something about Skyreach
2. Even after all this time it still hurts her
3. Id assume she was told/knows of the other powers seal on Skyreach.
4. Did very little to truly keep Tarnish and Co. from actually going (to our knowledge). Maybe a side chapter detailing other ways she tried to stop them Kudz?
I mean after that what else IS there for details so far?
I will stop arguing this and this will be the last comment about this from me till after the big reveal but this is so far all I know for sure from the details given.
8309197
And what if everything she thinks she saw about Skyreach... was a lie? Did that even occur to you for even one second?
8309245
How can I know that since we don't know what she knew in the first place? No information was given nor was there any known from her perspective or another's that allows us to know what to argue for or debunk. Basically she said she didn't want to talk about it and walked away.
So far the story has concentrated on the survival aspect, and the fleeting glimpses from the memory gems of how the wendigo's were created from the one other set of ponies (which by the way is really really good) but so far almost all the perspective in the story has been from Tarnished, Daring, and Rainbow POV.
8309268
So it is easier just to assume the worst of someone, to draw negative conclusions, and tear them down? Without trying to question situational awareness?
Hey, so and so is acting a bit out of character... maybe there is reason!
The lesson of Tarnished Teapot and Twilight Sparkle means an awful lot here.
8309282
But being mysterious and vague will help? I'm not talking about you personally here. I understand that you have a story outline that your trying to follow, but the Celestia narration in chapter five seems like shes giving up on her friends. But even if it for their own good its kinda wrong to hold out on folks that you know are going into a dangerous situation. What else can I assume from the tone that she knows something but is too afraid to tell them anything.
Have you considered doing a parallel side story to Skyreach to describe some of this missing narrative perspective without putting in that much of a narrative gap into the main story? I mean so far not a lot can be said about whats going through Celestias and Luna head about what they think they know about this since they are not so far used in the current story arc so far.
8309354
Further increasing my workload.
It doesn’t seem like a good idea.
8309363
eh you could do a cutback to celestia and luna doing a discussion for a few chapters then unless it would contain to much spoilers, since they are likely the most involved in the backstory.
8309387
That would destroy the sense of isolation. No.

Kudzu does perspective writing. Not 'hold your hand because you can't think outside your own head' writing, which is also a valid and the most common form of writing we tend to see in the fandom and this community. Most of us who've been along for the ride for a long time understand, accept, and live that fact (generally because someone's pushed pointlessly at him and he's had to stop and explain it, or one of us has had to explain it). Instead of criticizing certain characters, put yourself in their shoes. Understand what it's like to know SO much more than someone else and know also that you can't tell them everything you know without breaking them, or causing them to do something foolish. Look at their history, deduce what happens between points of information on an internalized timeline. Read between the lines, and understand that every thought and bit of dialogue we see is written as an unreliable narrator/actor.
These are people, with differing circumstances and viewpoints, not models the author's just moving around on the table and describing to you with some form of omniscience.
Boxing deer?
....Kangaroos?
