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...

Finally!
I wonder about her inner voice... could it be her "demon" side post purification? Or maybe it's that assertive, more ambitious part of her she's been suppressing since her turnaround?
A surprisingly self aware voice.
Nnnnggg now I have to wait!
The joys of navigating relationships. The two of them are going to be such a wonderful train-wreck to watch, aren't they?

Your fix? Now I feel like a drug peddler.
And of course its mutual—i’m a harsh storyteller and before the book closes, i’ll earn that ‘M’ rating, but i’m not cruel or sadistic. Besides, half of the appeal for me is exploring their character chemistry. The hard part is balancing the tendency of teens to operate super fast in emotional situations (something i didnt get even when i was 16!) with the slower, more realistic pace i’m trying to set for the story.
Ah yes, Shipper Cadence. Part of my character building for her has been trying to incorporate traits we see with some of the more amusing fan additives. That and rounding her out and piecing together what kind of babysitter would she have been for a child on the spectrum who suffers severe anxiety, especially given the fact that as a teen twilight trusts her.
Which feeds into why the human twilight seems both socially awkward and self aware. Humans have a great deal of knowledge (and we gain more every year) about mental health. We diagnose and study deviations from the average with a desire to understand and “fix” those problems—or at least mitigate them enough so a person can function in everyday life.
Loving and intelligent parents like Velvet and Night, recognized differences like her anxiety and sought professional assistance—not just for their child but for themselves in learning how to help her. Human Twilight has grown up surrounded by family who are aware of her struggles and difficulties, who have created an environment where she feels safe, and who are incredibly patient in helping her try to understand the things she struggles with. It doesnt mean her problems will magically go away—she will always have issues with things like her anxiety, and she will always struggle to make sense of a lot of social cues, but her family and her therapist have provided her a much better toolbox for handling those things than we see for her pony counterpart—who seems to have moved out of home right after getting her cutie mark, to live alone, in a tower, right next to her school, with only an infantile dragon as consistent company. Couple that with ponies being more about “celebrating differences” and less prone to asking “why are you different?” and i feel it explains the differences we see in canon as well (both versions of Twilight seem to present as being on the spectrum, but pony twi has more severe ocd and social awkwardness in the beginning with less anxiety, whereas the human version has anxiety through the roof but seems to integrate socially much faster with sunset’s group, and expresses fewer ocd moment).
The point of the rambling, i suppose was yes, she is incredibly self aware, because shes learned how to understand her own emotions. Its other people she has troubles with.
As for the line about hanging the stars...i dont even know where that came from, but i wanted something appropriately romantic to come out of cadence’s observations, and that one just...happened. I thought it was appropriate, all things considered, so i kept it.
Now...in regards to Stupid Little Voice...I wont clarify anything specific for what it is or isnt, only that it is important, and that it is something you should expect to see more of.
And yes, now you have to wait. Hopefully the chapter coming up will be worrh it, lol.
It's funny. I had a similar conversation about this scenario on Friday to a friend of mine who has been pining for this woman for yeeeeeears. They have been friends for a long time and they help each other in ways i doubt either really want to admit. But neither will take the next step for fear of, "ruining the friendship.". I told him the truth. There is no perfect moment. You just have to leap.

If my favorite Princess is giving me the bird from beyond the veil, i would feel nothing but honored. Leia is a goddamned badass, no matter what costume she was forced into, and she would not have been half the character she was if someone else had played her.

There are no perfect moments. Its the actions and events that happen in those moments that make them special.
Stupid Little Voice is my new favorite character

We are two
Why do I have a feeling there's more to that Stupid Little Voice than she just talking to herself? Despite the fact that it's still her.
Go!
Stupid Little Voice is getting a bit too smart
