Tranquil Stone


~You are only confined by the walls you build yourself~

E

Starlight's saved Equestria a couple of times, sure. But she's just there. Someone else could have done that, and been there, to take her spot as Twilight's student. She's not...well, anything. What's her role? Just to be the sidekick? What does her cutie mark even mean? Control...manipulation? She had no idea. Sometimes, it's not enough to have people to talk to. Despite being surround by friends, she's never felt more lonely.

I'm sorry if you feel left out, but this was a great story!

Aww thanks! I'm feeling much better now, this was written around a week ago :twilightsmile:

Um...

Okay, I get why you wrote this, but it ignores how Starlight has her own group of friends. Trixie? Maud? Discord? Sunburst? And don't forget, she and Twilight are kind of joined at the hip. Starlight may not be super close with the others, but she is with Twilight.

It just doesn't quite feel right to me that she'd feel this isolated, especially when she's also part of the exclusive "Summoned by Harmony for a friendship problem" club.

Guilt consumed me, and I couldn't look into my ex-student's eyes.

It probably should be "ex-teacher" or something similar.

Someday Starlight. Someday.

Somehow?

Hmm I agree. She does have Trixie and Maud. But in this fic, I'll include the fact that Trixie is out on an Equestria wide tour and isn't around as often. And Maud's gone to the Dragon lands two years ago to explore their rock. Sunburst is a friend, but she feels alone in Ponyville and can't always frequently visit. They're all grown ponies with their own lives that are busy. And I've established how Disocrd isn't the ideal friend for Starlight to hang out with. As for Twilight, they are just as close. It's just that they don't have as much time one on one and Starlight can feel a little left out at times as shown in the show.

So basically the crux of this fic is that yes, she does have friends. But does she have constant time with those friends unlike Twilight and he others: no. And it also brings up the point moreso how there are six elements of harmony. Starlight is a key character and slowly making her way up, but is just your go-to pony when everyone else is gone. Again, this is just my thoughts. Thanks for your help though, I'll be sure to mention some of the other points!!

Oops, I'll fix that up. This was written after a very exhausting day :twilightblush:

If the diary feels emotionless, it can eventually....die. Or it could just be a typo that I'll fix :rainbowlaugh:

Overall, this story was kinda meh...
But damn this part right here:

My deeds and accomplishments. Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. Rainbow Dash is a Wonderbolt. Rarity has three successful boutiques. Pinkie Pie is a party planner, best in town. Applejack is a farmer. And Fluttershy manages Sweet Feathers Sanctuary and is the local animal know-it-all. What about me? I was nothing, and it was my own fault.

Was really deep... In fact, it inspired me to write my own story (or at least try, with my busy schedule) Just for that, you get a like. This segment indirectly makes us (or at least me) infer that being the Elements of Harmony is not their greatest achievement, and does not define them. Instead, it is the things they actually work(ed) hard for.

Signing out, VShuffler42

Glad I helped with the inspiration, and thanks for the like! Your feedback is really helpful :twilightsmile:

I reeeeeally really enjoyed this 😍😍
Im just very dissapointed that Starlight completely ignored Discord at the End and vanished without saying thank you :o Even though he gave his best to help her out in her despair :( kind of sad for him
They couldve build a very nice friendship after that too

But all in all a really nice and bitter-sweet little fic ^^
