A lovely meditation on how time can slip away from is, especially those who have so much of it. You drift into the fauxlisophical here and there—for example, you never explain Celestia's "own lack of solidarity," which by definition isn't something a single person can possess—but for the most part, this was quite well done. Thank you for it.
I love strange little fics like this, especially when they're executed wonderfully. It's a shame this kind of work won't get more attention; only fetish-fuel clopfics and random comedies seem to get into the feature box anymore.
Great story, my friend. Such an interesting little peak into the mind of our beloved sunbutt.
8151221 Huh. I've just read the TV tropes page on fauxlosophic narration, and I can see what you mean. Didn't even know it was a thing until now.
Although in all honesty that particular bit was because I confused solidarity to mean its opposite, then instead of replacing I just negated it. Bit of lazy writing on my part tbh, although I did like the pun, so there's a reason. :P
Thanks for the critique! You're a cool horse person. I've actually had a peek down your helpful tips before now, though having another look. xD
Nice story, I liked how it started off with Celestia describing a sandwich and then that, in turn, led her to muse over the past; and the end brought a smile to my face.
Overall, I enjoyed it as I seldom read anymore, albeit, maybe I should rectify that.
This reminded me of a certain purple unicorn preparing a beverage. Nice, small fic
may have seemed
Indeed, odd how time slips away sometimes, and what strange thoughts be brought on by certain stimuli…
Strange, that the pony of a ball of nuclear fire be undone by a little capsaicin.
Interesting excercise. Nothing really deep or great, only a sneak peak. But it's nice and fun and it showed enough to feel rich and hint at something bigger. Wich is arguably beter then just depicting it.
It's a bit of a strange formulation, routine being automatic act that you repeat, they aren't antithesis to staying your true selves. A routine is maybe limiting yourself, but lying about yourself?
8179012 What I think I meant when I wrote that bit was that their "true selves" or original personalities, were far more wild, passionate representations of the elements o' harmony. In this, Celestia allowed her passionate self to be forced down behind a facade, and the dull, repressive monotony of day to day life as a princess, and as the figurehead of a nation (gotta represent yo). But as generosity, kindness and magic are seemingly more cognitive than emotional virtues, she managed.
Luna on the other hand, who represented Laughter, Honesty and Loyalty - the more feely, party, social, emotional (etc) elements - struggled to hide behind the mask of a princess as Celestia did, because it opposed all three of her virtues (that she represented). Repressing her laughter wouldn't have been honest to herself and others, thus disloyal to the virtues she embodies. Therefore, a contradiction.
Idk
Maybe I think too much about immortal cartoon horses. This lil story is mostly just about how routine can just suck the life outta everything, and an immortal has that problem a whooooole lot worse.
There might be some accidental headcanon in there I didn't explain. Another chapter in the same 'verse explaining some things maybe? Or perhaps vagueness is a good thing. This was mostly just an exercise anyway, as you said. Writing practice cause why not.
Such long very comment
