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...

Ironic that she's telling this to the counterpart of such an exception.
Don't quite agree on ponies being okay with all relationships. Like same-sex was fine but another species, I'd say is more iffy since ponies are very afraid of the "other" and Equestria was isolated from the rest of the world. It was until Twilight opened her school that ponies seem to have come to accept other species as friends and potential mates.

While I understand that I stuck close to the Rainbow Rocks storyline for that part of arc one, it was necessary and important, because RR is the point in which Rubicon truly starts to diverge from canon. There are a number of things that happen there that will be important later on, many of which get set up in the first arc, and its also a key point in Sunset's character development during her redemption story. Now, I don't agree that the characters were acting as if theyd "been hit with the stupid stick", so much as that they are (most of them) teen girls in a situation they don't entirely know how to effectively handle, and the mixture of immaturity, personal conflicts, and stress made the whole thing far worse. In Sunset's case, she was her own worst enemy because she was filled with self doubt and guilt, which in many ways silenced her and crippled her actions more than any case of "a stupid stick." As for Stupid Little Voice...I suppose you're entitled to your opinion on that, but don't think you've seen the last of that. Everything in my story happens for a reason.
I enjoy Twilight's various family members because they round out the story a bit, and really make Twilight as a character more real. And they're super awesome. As for a heart to heart with Shining...we'll see some of those later on. I have a few in mind. And...the truth about the girls and their meeting will come out. Eventually.
The Sirens were not nice. I didn't feel the need to make them nice. I asked the questions that most people didn't about "where were the adults" and how one must feel after being mind controlled. These arent humans. They're millenia old monsters who feed on pain and suffering. That automatically makes them twisted.

Yes, that was the joke, lol. Not that Sunset knows that, of course.

Not true. There are implications in the show, movie, and comics that ponies were not entirely isolated from their neighbors: Rainbow Dash was at Junior Speedsters camp with a griffin, Queen Novo and Princess Celestia were old friends, there was references to past conflicts and peace treaties with the yaks, Iron-Will the minotaur and his goats, and probably more I'm forgetting. None of those instances are treated as particularly unusual, and even as bitchy as Gilda is, a podunk town like Ponyville never blinks twice at her. If they were truly as cut off from other species as you're suggesting, a tiny, remote town would have some kind of reaction to a completely alien creature showing up. One could even point to Spike as a gauge for pony reaction to the unknown. He's a dragon, and they outright note that ponies and dragons know next to nothing about each other, and never interact. Yet Spike is treated by strange ponies as well as relatively familiar ones with a very open attitude--not as something to be suspicious of or feared. He's just another "person" to them. Sunset also caveated her statement with pointing out that stuffy nobles and stuck up tribalists do exist and have opinions, which is true.
Poor Sunny. The one person who will have none of her nonsense is of course the one she's talking to. Rarity will just take this entire ocnversation as "the lady doth protest too much." You're not getting out of it that easy, though it's certainly entirely true that "boy" doesn't fall into the equation anywhere.
After this talk, the next time Sunset shows up to school calm and happy after time with Twilight, Rarity will just smile knowingly. We're going to end up with a whole group of people who think they're subtle but everyone else in the group knows by the end.
Sunset needs to watch out, lest Rare figure out what's going on. She may not be the same kind of ruthless as Sunset was during her bad old days, but she's no amateur when it comes to the game of social chess, especially when it comes to romance. Of course, Sunset's reluctance to open up is just going to egg Rarity on. Though, I honestly wonder what's going to happen when Rare or the rest of her friends learn about Sunset and Twilight. While I can see them being accepting (Rare and AJ are out and together, so it won't be an issue), the presence of a second Twilight is going to throw them hard.
I really enjoy how the use of Sunset's inherently inhuman nature. As she put it, she's a unicorn, regardless of what shape her body is at the moment. I always kinda wished that EG did a better job of showing that.

To be fair, that describes most teens. They think they are secretive and subtle, but any adult with half a brain and some modest communication skills is going to know whats going on. And...frankly, its hard to hide when you're in love with someone. Really hard. :P

At this point in the story, Rarity has the highest "emotional intelligence" out of the group of girls. She's well versed in reading body language, sensitive to emotional states, and socially adept in a variety of social environments. She can "read a room" with relative ease, as long as she's not having one of her "drama llama" moments. So yeah, she's not stupid, and its very likely that she'll piece stuff together if Sunset isn't too careful.
As for...reactions...Like, I try to have that realistic take--not everyone in the world is going to have the same reactions, or be as accepting--but yes, the whole "human Twilight" might prove more problematic than "Sunset's dating a girl." ...Guess we'll see how it pans out, wont we?
And yes. That whole "I'm a unicorn, not human" thing is not going away. Its a key part of her identity, her sense of self, grounded in growing up as a pony in Equestria. Things we dont think about because they are ingrained in society and culture and are basically fed to us by osmosis growing up? Those things are alien to her, and she isn't going to intrinsically understand them, no matter how much she reads up on humans. Granted, she does manage to pass as human to most people, but the more you get to know her, the more idiosyncrasies you will see. In fact, the Unicorn-vs-human is going to be a big part of her character growth in Arc Two, bruhahaha.
Sheeeee's oooon to youuuuuu!
