Consequences will be severe for everybody involved, and with Sunset possessing free access to her magic, CHS now have something to fear, especially her gang of 30 students (plus Trixie), not to mention Snips and Snails. She could rule the school if she wants, but she has more important things to do, like hanging out with real friends, like Gilda.
8820308 They will recover, but it won’t be easy. Rainbow will actually ask Lighting Dust first since they’re both on the soccer team and knowing how she was before and in the show, Rainbow is curious as to what her reasons for helping Sunset are. I actually have a scene in mind for Rainbow and Gilda at the mall.
8820320 It’s interesting how you mention she’ll be hanging out with her friends because that’s exactly what she’ll do in the next chapter. To remind her that the magic of friendship is all around her and she can seek it out like Twilight once told her. Thank you for your continued interest in the story and for the thought provoking comments.
She has more then Gilda as a true friend. She has several students as true friends 30 of them. Not five fake friends but Thirty real friends!
she can leave those five pieces of crap to rot!
i got to add thou, that the CMC better suffer a huge punishment! Not just for Sunset but also for those two students! One almost killed herself, the other dealt with horrible teasing and bullying over a exdrug habit!
I take back one part of one of my comments. I reread the chapter. Pinkie did say yes she would offered her friendship even if Twilight hadn't asked.
I think She can be forgiven and given a second chance. But won't be easy...no sure it won;t. Also the Apples and Rarity's families owe Sunset big time, she prevented them from being sued, hope they realize that as well as Scoota's family.
8820410 no no don;t get me wrong. I wanted them to be sued. They deserve it, and it's a legal point not them assaulting the girls like that guy. It's more civilized, and let's face it, the girl that almost killed herself because of all this has the right.
8821027 uh not really no, trust doesn't heal like our bodies do, in all likelihood after an event like this, sunsets not likely to ever trust them half as much again, this is a permanent scarring situation.
8820410 should she though? honestly the CMC are getting light with any punishment celestia and luna give them, they violated the internet act and used sunsets likeness to create a fraudulent profile for the purpose of defaming her name, they further used it to release private information of various people to degree's that are possibly life destroying, they should be sitting in a police station right now, sunset should allow the lawsuits to go without her involvement.
8821370 The lawsuits are still going through and the Apple family has a lot to loose because of this, However there’s going to be a little surprise at the apple family Christmas party.
“Even more appalling is that those of you who sent in secrets knew Sunset is innocent, but still decided to blame her, you are nothing but cowards,”
Sending in secrets doesn't mean they knew she was innocent. They could still believe it was sunset doing it but wanting to capitalize on situation to get back at other students. It does make them hypocrites though.
Ok, a good punishment I heard was letting the CMC see their presents, force them to return them, and then donate the money for charity. Also, no more phones and computers.
8836987 They’ll definitely have their phone and computer privileges taken away, but as for their presents...let’s just say that it won’t be what anyone would expect.
It’s never a single person’s fault for something. You can never trace it all back to a single source. Life has a domino effect, where when the conditions are right, everything can come crashing down around you. When the dust settles, you see what is left and it’s never pretty. The anon a miss incident shows how catastrophic it can be. The spark of doubt comes from the account and lights the mistrust in sunset ablaze. Then everyone else adds more fuel to the fire until it burns itself out. In the end, everyone is hurt and some more so than others.
I reread this and truth be told I can't wait for the emotional roller coaster. The Crusaders are still going to be sued for emotional damages and be treated like pariahs. They thought Sunset got off easy but they will experience the same scorn even if nobody will attack them.
And now they and the Raimbooms have to redeem thenselves. Is it going to make everything even? Will Sunset fairly give THEM a second chance and put them on probation?
Suspension for a month and detentions for the rest of the year (weekends included) for everyone who got involved with Anon-A-Miss. Also any athletes are suspended from school clubs. Even Rainbow can be charged with conspiracy to commit assault. Rarity may be too heartbroken to find inspiration, Pinkie Pie and Fluttershy are depressed, and Applejack and Apple Bloom will get spanked by Granny for betraying family. They may also have to fight to save the farm when the lawsuits pour in.
Unlike Solar Eclipse, nobody died or got maimed, but everyone has to live with the guilt. If Crystal Prep hears about this, it will give them more ammo to attack the "trash school" CHS.
Sunset will have new friends to help deal with the aftermath. And maybe the Rainbooms get counseling. The Crusaders and the people who sent secrets to post will have to attend an anti-cybetbullying class. Have their gadgets and computer privileges revoked too. Put them on probation too.
"Gilda, Dumbbell, Sunset, Trixie and Lightning hangout at Sugarcube Corner" could be a scene.
It reminds me of an saying in one of the episode of the Gargoyles from Disney channel.
Trust is a fragile bond built upon Truth, Kindness and Friendship. Although the bond can grow stronger when tested. It not the question if it can be tested but can it survive the test?
8885619 Excellent suggestions, but Sunset won’t hang out with her new friends at Sugarcube corner for a little while since she doesn’t want to see the Rainbooms. Sunset will definitely need the help of her new friends during this time, to remind her that she still has friends that will be there for her.
Sunset’s decision whether to forgive the Rainbooms will be answered at the Christmas party at the Apple family farm, including a few surprises.
I don't understand it. I know I'm a year late and all but I simply don't understand the grounds on which would be sued here. If she went to court with this
“That’s not good enough!” A female students yells, “Because of those three bitches[,] it got out that I was in rehab for a drug problem[!] [A]nd not only was I made fun of, people kept their distance from me, called me names behind my back[,] and sometimes to my face. They even made bets as to when I would overdose even though I’ve been clean for months!”
I feel like the defender would just go to her and ask: "Did my client [Applebloom] make fun of you in school? Did my client keep her distance from you more than before? Did my client call you names behind your back? Did my client call them to your face? Did my client partake in that betting pool?" And since none of these questions would be answered with yes, that would have been a very short hearing. Since Applebloom never made a contract (oral or otherwise) to keep something a secret there should be laughably little the suer could do. It's not like what they posted were lies so that's not a viable angle of attack either. And if you were looking for the root of the problem than look at the person who shared the fact with Anon-A-Miss in the first place, because they did so with the intention of hurting the girl. They told it to someone who they knew would share it. So either sue the people who actively bullied you into suicide or the original whistle blower. (The latter of which I'd still find weird but could probably make a case for or simply follow my suspense of disbelief.) Sueing Applebloom feels to me like sueing the arms dealer who sold the gun to the killer but letting the killer himself go free. (And to keep the metaphor, let the gun producer of the hook too.)
To make this perfectly clear though. I am not saying that the CMC don't share blame here, they did provide the publishing platform after all and therefore carry responsibility for what is being said but I don't think they technically broke any laws. The only one I feel would have a legal case against the CMC would be Sunset herself, because they admitted to impersonation and slander against her.
(I do have my thoughts on punishing the CMC too but those aren't what's bugging me with this story right now.)
This whole issue is really bugging me with this story. I dropped the fic before because of it and upon coming back and rereading I find myself roadblocked again at the same spot.
You know, i only recently discovered Lily Orchid, or Lily Peet, i don't know which one she prefers, but i absolutely adore when she talks about Flurry Heart. "Is da babu, she's so precious~"
I can somewhat see Sunset having a minor gush out over protecting the CMC, even with the whole Anon-a-miss mess.
And now i want to read about Sunset being adorable with fillies and colts and other adorable babus~
“But Anon-A-Miss…...I was so pissed that you were faking our friendship this whole time, that you were fucking with me again!” Rainbow Dash lowers her head, she lets out a few sobs before continuing, “And then the picture with me and Gilda got posted, I was so angry at that moment that I wanted to find you and beat the shit out of you. Then Gilda came along and I thought that she would take care of you for me, to teach you a lessson,”
you need to correct "Lessson". It's Lesson, not Lessson. 8820332
Question: Will everybody recover and will Rainbow Dash ask Gilda about what made her wanna help Sunset?
Consequences will be severe for everybody involved, and with Sunset possessing free access to her magic, CHS now have something to fear, especially her gang of 30 students (plus Trixie), not to mention Snips and Snails. She could rule the school if she wants, but she has more important things to do, like hanging out with real friends, like Gilda.
It’s official. Anyone who tries to mess with Sunset after this point is trying for a bizarre version of assisted suicide.
8820308
They will recover, but it won’t be easy. Rainbow will actually ask Lighting Dust first since they’re both on the soccer team and knowing how she was before and in the show, Rainbow is curious as to what her reasons for helping Sunset are.

8820329
Pretty much, that is if they can get over the spell she cast.
She has more then Gilda as a true friend. She has several students as true friends 30 of them. Not five fake friends but Thirty real friends!
she can leave those five pieces of crap to rot!
i got to add thou, that the CMC better suffer a huge punishment! Not just for Sunset but also for those two students!
One almost killed herself, the other dealt with horrible teasing and bullying over a exdrug habit!
8820339
Sunset hangs out with Gilda and Dust. Hell, maybe even the Dazzlings.
I believe I can't a much more fitting track for the current situation:
I take back one part of one of my comments. I reread the chapter. Pinkie did say yes she would offered her friendship even if Twilight hadn't asked.
I think She can be forgiven and given a second chance. But won't be easy...no sure it won;t.
Also the Apples and Rarity's families owe Sunset big time, she prevented them from being sued, hope they realize that as well as Scoota's family.
8820398
They’ll still be sued, but Sunset will fix it.
8820410
no no don;t get me wrong. I wanted them to be sued. They deserve it, and it's a legal point not them assaulting the girls like that guy.
It's more civilized, and let's face it, the girl that almost killed herself because of all this has the right.
I think Sunset cast a illusion Spell that will be Nightmares for them. But pinkie will break the curse
I think this may be necessary to properly move on for both Sunset and the Humane 5.
Aceeptence is needed to move on, not forgiveness. Even if she forgives, they will take time to build up Trust again.
At least now we know Pinkie could have befriended Sunset willingly.
8821027
uh not really no, trust doesn't heal like our bodies do, in all likelihood after an event like this, sunsets not likely to ever trust them half as much again, this is a permanent scarring situation.

8821361
You got that right, Sunset’s trust in them is broken. She has a lot to think about before Christmas break.
8821370
The lawsuits are still going through and the Apple family has a lot to loose because of this, However there’s going to be a little surprise at the apple family Christmas party.
8792231
A team?
Sending in secrets doesn't mean they knew she was innocent. They could still believe it was sunset doing it but wanting to capitalize on situation to get back at other students. It does make them hypocrites though.
8792231
Anyone want an A-Team crossover?
Wtf!
8823284
Aaahh thank you for clearing that up.
Again she should have the right to Sue them, or face the families themselves to rip into them for what those three did!
8821704
Except if it was Sunset she wouldn't NEED those secrets sent in because she would have already HAD them.
8821486
Can I ask how Twilight chastises the girls?
wow...the traitors have done f*cked up.
PLEASE MAKE SUNSET AND TWILIGHT HATE EM FOREVER!!!
8831920
You'll have to wait for the next chapter to find out.
8834955
Ok, a good punishment I heard was letting the CMC see their presents, force them to return them, and then donate the money for charity. Also, no more phones and computers.
8836987

8837576
Like the reason their sisters spent so much time with Sunset was to help find presents for them?
8837852
Nope.

only Pinkie Pie?!
I expected Fluttershy to as well
Is this a lily orchard reference? If so i approve.
9123096
Yep.
8820308
Recover, no.
The three young ones, along with everyone on the list did too much damage.

She prefers Lily Orchard and I can totally see Sunset being that!
Babus?
Hmph, once again if it were actually sunset you would press charges
you need to correct "Lessson". It's Lesson, not Lessson.
8820332
10641473
done.
10701980
I believe that was intentional, as it's a bit of an informal way of saying what you're trying to correct it to
Though I'm willing to wager 60 or 70% of the student body needs a change of pants because I think some of them pretty much just wet themselves
I wonder who said this?
