And the only pony that doesn't feel any guilt about them committing murder is Sunset Blessing. She feels bad about Tonya feeling bad, but doesn't seem to have any regret about the murder itself. Hope Tattered Wing gets her at some point.
Sunset wanted it both ways . Be better than humans and kill one who proved pony could be just as bad as one. No realising that would just proves she not in the first group at all.
I get the feeling that Tattered Wing will be a good pony for Luna to get to know and hopefully one day call a good advisor.

I see it as petty vengeance. Which makes her one of the most human ponies in all the wrong ways. She makes up justifications, but they are just excuses. Tonya at least is honest with herself about how it was just vengeance and knows she was wrong. Sunset feels no guilt though.
Maybe because the night she transformed she was holding onto so much anger it just became part of who she was as a pony rather than going passive like the others.
Also, Amanda seemed at first to be disconnected with being a pony, but all that hand envy seems like it is just a sign of her feeling some sort of inferiority as an earth pony. That's a bit different than we've seen so far. You can see where she gets it if her whole time as a pony has been a struggle dealing with a winged daughter.
The word “Quadruped” was misspelled.
Big sister “I am, or she is”
You said, “Tonya sobbed herself hoarse,” referring to her voice being messed up by crying.
As I suspected, loss of dexterity is the main complaint. But it would seem being specie or race swapped would both be pleasant alternatives, just to have hands, wings, or psychokinesis. I feel her. And that unmarked slowly becoming a minority seems incorrect. I’d say it was rapid.
S. Blessing clearly loves her daughter. She loves her daughter’s best friend and own current fiance. She sincerely weeps for their suffering. And likely buried that grudge she had with her ex, and hadn’t yet officially divorced him yet, though their marriage is certainly toast at this point beyond salvation. Why do I wish she was at the end of a rope? Why do I wish she was hanged?
Oh, dear. I noticed a recurring theme in this tale: Men are rarely portrayed in a positive light. Nearly all of them shady. Thanks for cementing Paul a bigoted holdout. I still hope his onscreen appearance will reveal himself better in spite of that. Hopefully beyond identity issues he is the sole straight guy.
I think I got it. She’s cunning, but well intentioned, not at all unlike her namesake. Given that this all requires showing a canon character in a very OOC manner in order to come to this, the way both are portrayed is off putting in two ways.
First, showing a well intentioned, but ill informed mare with an incurable case of hero worship, whose inspiration was power crazed and thought her country was being poorly run in canon is needed to get this plot running. The out of character element needed to make both of the tales’ plots happen leaves a sour taste in my mouth. There’s a notable difference between a greedy, ill tempered, power hungry mare who wants the throne, yet still cares for her country, and one who abandons said nation for two decades with no obvious means for connection, all based on an absurd hypothesis with no conclusive evidence, who is also pretty even tempered. One wasn’t especially concerned about the magic less populace, nor would she want them having it. They are but a means to an end. The other pities all beings without magic, and thinks it’s Equestrians’ duty to provide it to all who lack it, regardless of the universe, or how well or worse off any being is. In canon, she was impulsive, but never this delusional. And ultimately, wants to do the right thing, especially when it’s convenient to her. Just about the only constant is her pacifism. She’s hates violence whenever she’s not corrupted by magical jewelry. She’s is just out-of-character all around here, save that.
Second, and more importantly, she’s actually more frightening when she’s being truly friendly. Her benign sincerity is more frightening then her rage monster. She’s even harder, nigh, impossible to reason with, even by Celestia, who she continuously worships. She has a spiritual successor who never met her, and is even more mad, and not beyond doing dishonest things to get what she needs. It really makes me wonder if Johnny wasn’t better than she is. He couldn’t conceal his incurable madness, and nothing short of merciful execution, or lifelong mad house incarceration could do him any good. His image as a timebomb was very public to the observant. She, by contrast, puts on a convincing facade that we wouldn’t even know about had this not been fiction, and we readers the observers. It sure doesn’t help that she’s cunning, highly influential, and has the means to use these to her full advantage, via the great amount of wealth she hoards away like a miser, plus personally knowing two ponies who are even more influential all their own right by magic talent. We’d be oblivious to her underhandedness, but his impulsiveness can be unmasked easily, and we would know were he real. She doesn’t think about what she’s going to eventually do, as she is convinced she won’t be alive to see it, nor any grand foals. Once she discovers the unlikely things she uncovers, I wonder if that will change her tune. Worse, it’d be a closely guarded secret only she, her fiance, current husband, and daughter know about, and have to guard. If those thestrals and pegasi out west find out about it, they’d stop at nothing to get ahold of what they have discovered, even if they had to kill them all to get it. They’ll be less concerned about the desires of the sane masses than Remedy and her family will.

You might want to break up your paragraphs a bit more, that was hard to follow. Wasn't even clear when you were talking about S. Shimmer and when S. Blessing.
To be fair the author doesn't have a lot of male characters, but overall the male characters are more decent guys than bad. Only John was an actual bad guy and we don't really know much about Paul to judge him yet. Both the fathers for Remedy and Rosetta are good guys even if Remedy's father had a rough introduction. I'd argue that Remedy's dad was most decent person in the first story and got a bad break.
And Blessing sleeping with her daughter's childhood best friend still kind of creeps me out. Made more weird knowing that they will end up marrying and Tonya will be Remedy's stepmother who views her as a sister. Tonya got her MILF

I did note these were all secondhand accounts of him. Neither Devon’s nightmare, nor Tonya’s attitude when talking about him make him sound unsavory. I want his actual introduction to disappoint the hype.
And agreed with the last thing. It’s still a pity the marriage of Remedy’s parents was ruined beyond any hope of recovery. I’d hope her father finds himself a new wife. For what I can see he deserves to be happily married. What happened to him wasn’t fair. This world altering event cost him more than his original species, which he won’t discard memory of, which is why she left him in the first place. I honestly wonder if other mares will be off put by his refusal to ever let go of his old name. Not all of them feel compelled to change their name, but a high percentage do. It may make finding a new fiance to start the rest of his life with a challenge.
yep Sunset Blessing needs dealt with,
in a way it is going to be sad as she does have the right ideas but is going about it all wrong.
it is going to be bade how Sunset is going to react when this all starts unraveling on her.

Concerning the lack of good male characters: As someone who has been writing MLP fan fiction for a few years now, I can tell you that it is easy to fall into the habit of creating a lot of female characters as protagonists. This is largely because the show itself has a heavily female cast (in fact I believe this was Faust's original intent since the show was originally targeted for little girls). I'm guilty of that myself in the Pandemic series. It's not that I (or other writers) think that males are "bad" (I happen to be male myself) but that the influence of the show carries on into the fanfic.

I admit I'm pretty female dominated in cast. It isn't anything against males though. Tom (Phobia's father) and Dan (one of the Broken Ones) will be getting perspectives later in part 1 and I consider them both sympathetic characters. I may be adding Paul's perspective in as well but haven't determined if I want him as a primary or secondary character yet.
Part 2 has perspectives still to be determined except for a few characters that I have already decided on, I am waiting for Aftermath to finish as there is a time jump and will most likely have events that I need to be aware of before continuing that part. There is still lots of part 1 left to go.

Okie dokie lokie! So my thoughts were ok? I crunched the numbers. Roughly.
9118985
So just checked, story begins day 37 after ETS breakout.
9118989
Ok... So I should look at a minor overlap in timelines? Oath will be down in Texas instead of... Wherever Phobia and co. are.

Out in the middle of nowhere in South Carolina, kind of to the southwestern part of the midlands to give a rough geographical area.
9119007
Cool beans. He is starting in Houston. That cool with you?
9119009
That's fine. Will be waiting to see what you have. Make sure you are well familiar with ASGeek2012's work as you are moving into his region that far out.
9119010
... Ah, heckies.
9119014
Just read Pandemic: Aftermath which is not too far in yet to get an idea what's going on out west.
- MLP: FiM
- Drama
The ETS pandemic has been over for six months, but humanity has yet to fully deal with its large pony population.9119018
K. Should I- hold up. Texas is in the Central Timezone. It's not much further west than Carolina. Hell, I think it's actually a little easterly compared to it. Definitely in the south though.
9119023
Um, Texas is definitely not east of South Carolina since South Carolina is on the Atlantic coast.
9119028
... I do physical maps. Not political.
Blessing is the biggest stain on the pony race! She has systematically violated every principle an equestrian should stand for! She will drive anypony to turn on everything that makes them good under threats, then offer no apology. Even Shimmer felt sorry for those she used. Blessing makes shimmer look like a saint! They both felt ends justify the means, but shimmer would never have driven her closest companion to violate her conscience while violating another's core feelings, after already beating him up, to murder another, and then offer no apology to anyone of them. And then go threaten and scream at another innocent for not easing her psychopathical self sense of justice! Swift Strike isn't even a drop in a bucket to Blessings evils.
Wow I hate both tiny and blessing after this. I mean hell they broke a violent rapist out of prison and put innocent ponies in danger, then lied and covered it up while also mind screwing people into doing violent actions for the them. Yeah screw these two, there monster just like the one there trying to kill.
9119029
No, Halira is right. Texas is most definitely NOT East of South Carolina to any degree.
