This story complicates my firm belief that Starlight exists in a confused state of attraction between Trixie and Twilight, but I love it anyway.
I mean, they both really like kites. That counts for something.
"Poor Starlight."
-What I felt while reading this.

She is a complex flower of romance.
Who has a fetish for pushy unicorns.
This was bizarre.
can love be real if you don't know what you're feeling?

"But what about the Windigos?"
"Oh, Starlight just murdered the fuck out of them."

With lasers. So dead.
...Why is this story titled "Earth Ponies."
Queen Chrysalis completely agrees!

Backwards compatibility.
More evidence that frostbite and love are not so different after all.
I feel like, if what Maud had tried had worked rather than simply prompting the Windigo Queen to murder the fuck out of them, it would have been both completely effective and completely devastating to Maud. Because it would be looking at someone with all their flaws and understanding them well enough to love them anyway, and knowing your love was going to destroy them, and going through with it anyway because you had no choice. Killing someone you truly love would be utterly shattering, and even moreso when it was the love itself that did it.
Of course, Starlight blowing them to bits worked instead of feeding them because it was protective wrath for Maud rather than anger and strife :p
Of course, we didn't see anything after Maud was flash frozen. So maybe the love did destroy the Windigo Queen after all, and freezing Maud was either their last act or how they expressed their love. Or the Windigo Queen is so fundamentally corrupt that you really can't find something to genuinely love about her. Questions questions questions...
Darn it, I know I've read this before, but where?
Regardless, lovely stuff. Thank you for it.

Their bonding in Rock Solid Friendship was so pure. I kinda felt something between them in it

To be fair, this story does depict love of a more deep-friendship variety than anything.

That's okay. Their relationship in that episode felt borderline.
Wow.
Just what.
And that poem was atrocious, I'm just gonna say it, not sure if it matters.
And why the hell did you call it Earth Ponies?
But wow.

I have no idea if you liked it or not.
(And yes, the poem is awful)

Was kind of speechless. If it helps, I fav'd it. XD

Eeeeee.

It's a love story!
Thank you for reading it. ^_^
Poor Maud. Spike and Twilight feeling familial love, Applejack and Rainbow have romantic or at the very least physical while Rarity and Fluttershy are platonic. But then there's Maud who's just trying to feel anything at all and feels incomplete by its absence. Is the lesson that aromantic people shouldn't force themselves to love because they'll only end up hurting themselves? Either way I'm glad I gave this story a second chance!

The lesson is that there are types of love other than romance. Being aromantic doesn't make you a robot.
And you shouldn't feel bad for being what you are.
I am too! Thanks for leaving your thoughts :D
I absolutely adored this story and your portrayals of Starlight and Maud. Love the themes of different types of love too.

Oh gosh, thank you! Nobody has commented on this story in actual years, I thought it was forgotten. But of all the love stories I've written, this is my favorite. There are many kinds of love.
Sweet story. I do that it wasn't just romantic love. Feel like some people forget that sometimes.
An oddball ghost happened across your fic and read it. Have a review!
