Every action taken is like dropping a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that extend ever outward. Every choice has consequences, good and bad... Putting on a Crown may have changed Sunset Shimmer's life...but it also Changed two worlds...

Yeah. Well, A hero is only as Good as their villains are Evil. Balance and Harmony in all things. I am glad though that people are reacting to the villain the way I'd hoped. *grins* incidentally, the chapter title was one my Vampire: The Masquerade loving heart was quite pleased with. *cackles evilly*
As for Shining being protected....I never said exactly what was protecting him, now did I? >:}

I mean, to be fair, Constantine is kind of an idiot. And a tool. Plus the entities dealing in souls...are not the kind of beings who like sharing. Ever.

Thatis one hell of a description about how you feel about the villain. Made us all have a good laugh though, and it was the exact kind of reaction we were going for, so it says we're doing something right. And to think, I didn't even need to make him kick a puppy to get across the "This Dude Be Evil" vibe! :P
And yes, that is a thing--Sunset's actions having Consequences. Its...kinda the primary theme of the whole story: Choice and Consequence. How a person's choices, and thus their actions and deeds, cause ripples that spread outwards. (it's even the point of the whole title, haha.)

I have to give you props for being the first person to pick out all those little details and commenting on them. I was wondering if anyone would pick up on the word choice in a lot of places (You didn't get them all, but you got some of the big ones), and if people would speculate why.... This is quite the intriguing theory, btw. Whether or not its true, in whole or in part, well...you'll find out.
So our heroines are starting to feel out their magic, in more ways than one.
I like the idea of human arcanists using allegory to sense magic.
Also, it's okay to admit Sunny's hot R.D. Even if you're not interested in her like that, its fine to appreciate beauty. After all, just because you can recognize the beauty of a magnolia, or a maple tree, or a jewel scarab, doesn't mean you want to jump them.
And Pinkie should just adhere to "when in doubt, bring cake." It's not like it'd go to waste.
I really enjoyed this chapter. Seeing Sunset and the girls interacting is always good stuff. Bring on the magic!!!
I do have to say I do like the "feel" of the magic, like it's not quite physically elemental but still has the feel of it, what with Sunset being fire affiliated (because of course she is), and Dash either being lightning or storm, since AJ basically described a storm overhead. Makes me curious if, for example, AJ is something plant (or apple) related or Rarity is earth (or gem) related.
good plan sunset!
pinkie channeling yoda... awwww
not that it'd be worse if she wasn't
but that's a very neat way to tackle the human version, since i don't recall her ever showing up in the movies
hah!
yes yes yes, quite right, what indeed is she? the burning flame of redemption, instead of forgetting the past, learning from it and living to be better than it.
awww... (if this isn't just teachers being mean to her, she might have a bit of a chaotic element to her magic, likely not full draconequus ancestry, but definitely something non-pony. or i just like to read into any and all sentences that support my off the wall theories because i want to know sunset's history and the lore bits are being sprinkled out judiciously and suspiciously )
heh, good point!
The back and forth here was absolutely enjoyable. I once again love how Rarity is the stable rock foundation who keeps Sunset from too much self loathing.
Medicinal cannabis... that's what they all say.
What's that in the sky? It's a bird? A plane? Nope. Just RD being too lazy to wait for the bus.
Let them have cake.

Empathy/Understanding according to an interview with an EqG writer. (Also Trust according to the Pony PoV series of fanfictions which I like.)
Otherwise this is a good start to them figuring out their powers which'll be important soon.
11357549
Yeah, I used the idea because I know that in my family, at least, when we encounter something that's hard to explain, there's often this weird....mishmash of sensory data used. Like describing that weird taste in your mouth when you first wake up as "the furry brown-gray taste." I thought it would work well on the magic, which they don't have a separate sense for it alone like Sunset does.
Look, we can all mutually agree on "Sunset's hot." Its just one of those things. She's not even my type, and I can acknowledge it, lol. RD was just basically saying what everyone was thinking.
There is always a place for cake.
11357556
You heard the readers, people! More magic! All the magic!
11357563
Its always a pleasant thing. One day, I'll get around to their sidestory, lol.
11357593
Mmm. There are going to be associations for all of them. Some elemental, some not.
11357726
Sunset can make decent plans if she has time.
Pinkie would totally channel Yoda. We all know it.
Treehugger wasn't in EqG, but she'll be making an appearance in the story. As a friend of Fluttershy's.
Sunset's magic source will be revealed in time.
I will acknowledge that there is something in her genetic background that is non-standard pony. In fact, I've given several clues throughout the story as to what, exactly, is lurking in her family tree some generations back.
11357753
Rarity is probably Sunset's next closest friend after Twilight. She's emotionally intelligent enough to pick up on the subtle cues of Sunset's behavior, but well mannered and tactful enough to take care with how, when, and if she calls attention to them.
Yes. "Medical Reasons." *Exaggerated air quotes*
Dash is both lazy and impatient. You know it, I know it, its just a fact of life.
11357845
CAKE FOR EVERYONE!
11357857
As I said, her source/tie-in to the Harmony magic will be revealed in time.
11357936
11358651
ah ha! confirmation!
although i believe i will leave it at just that, as a proper discovery would take:
and to be quite frank, as much fun as it would be to know exactly what's going on before the story itself reveals it...
i do not have anywhere close to that much time on my hands!
so i think i'll stick to off the wall speculation based on random sentences until it is revealed within the story itself

I'm thinking Spike too. Sunset's own feelings of her being a threat or bad person, gating to the wee dug, getting him six shades of antsy and standoffish. Likely why the little bundle of pup started mellowing /as/ Sunset was coming to terms with herself and, to quote her, 'not hate myself anymore'.
Also, if correct, likely why she got along with Marble too. I think it's Marble. The quiet Pie sister.
11358857
never mind, speculation time!
so far the one that fits the best would be changeling, and as lovely as that would be it does beg the question why she can't transform?
oh well, back to waiting for it to show up in story

What a fascinating accumulation of puzzle pieces you have there....
*squints*
Some of them even appear to have been picked up from the LE: Rubicon Sunset Shimmer Puzzle Set.

i may not be very good at figuring these kinds of things out, but i decided to try nonetheless!
i Started reading this on Friday evening.
When is the next chapter due?
11360755
Welcome to the story! :} I update once a week, sometime between Thursday evening and Friday midday, depending on what my real life is like.

Thank you!
