Why does Kettle Corn love painting circular shapes so much, as seen in the episode 'Marks And Recreation'? Here's my somewhat poignant take on the reasons behind her infatuation with all things circle-related. Don't forget to bring tissues...

Nice, I love the parents you gave her. Out of the foals in this episode, she was my favorite
This. THIS is a haiku. Not just in format, but in content. Bravo!
This story hit me really hard. It brought up so many things that happened between me and my father, including the dark ones (He has dementia and live in an assisted care facility.) I am honestly crying right now. Your story is truly wonderful.
Amazing. I never thought a character like her would get such a backstory, even if fan made.
8481336 Out of all the new fillies with speaking parts, yeah... but I did enjoy Rumble's 'tude and his song.
8481562 Thank you.
8481964 After having a granddad who slowly died of cancer and a nan who faded before my eyes while suffering from dementia, I can sympathise a great deal. I'm so sorry to hear about your troubles.
8481972 Well, I thought she deserves a bit of attention, considering she's probably never going to be featured again as anything more than a background character...

Me too.
You hurt me. Well done.

True. Such a good one shot character deserves fanfiction like this!

Usually, I wouldn't take those three words in your first sentence as a compliment, but under these unique circumstances, I guess I'm very happy. Thank you so much for reading.
Wow.
I loved this story.
VERY nicely written!!
I'm not very emotional but this made me cry.
Definitely adding it to my favs
W-w-wow... Ever since your blog post I kept telling myself I was going to read this, but to my great detriment, I kept putting it on hold. I'm a really scatterbrained individual but I finally did sit down and read this. I was unsure what I was going to expect. I was confident it was going to be good. I was not prepared for it to kick me in the gut and throw me into the sea.
Geez, at first I was kinda chuckling. It was a weirdly accurate representation of what I imagine Equestria's parenting is like. Foals are made of steel so there isn't as much laying in bed as there is crawling around and causing chaos. The dual dynamic between both parents led to an interesting conflict, though my one criticism was the resolution to it. It wasn't bad per se it just seemed to come out of nowhere. The thing with the doll I mean. Losing and finding it was fine, bringing it up as one of the reasons that Sweet Corn did not approve of the beach was just...odd I guess? It didn't have as much of a flow to it as the rest of the story and indeed felt a little jarring. To me anyway. Sorta felt like sliding your hand along polished wood and then rubbing against a slightly protruding nail. Okay weird analogy, I just felt it was a little out of place.
The rest of it though. First, absolutely adored the style you chose. The sort of conversationalistic narrative, I know that's not a word but it's the best I have, felt reminiscent of Dr Seuss. Mixing a diary entry/ memory with an old legend. I love that kind of stuff. I loved the progression. Gradually building up through the years with every character getting their due development. It's an all too realistic scenario which can happen to just about anyone. Which I think is brought home perfectly by the opening. There were hundreds of foals born on that same day, and Kettle Corn would never be a princess, but she was their special pony. I liked that extra little detail.
There's not much more to say. I enjoyed this immensely and I only wish I'd read it sooner. It tugged me in so many places I feel like I'm on an executioners rack. It's a good feeling though, uh...sort of. You're really good at bringing out little utilised or little-developed characters and really making them shine. You had precious few words to make me feel for these ponies and sweet Celestia you did it. Good job. Now, I said there wasn't much more to say so I'll simply say Goodbye and keep up the good work. Have a nice day!
