...huh.
With the footnotes being links, I would just turn appropriate words or phrases into those links.
I wonder if her alicorn constitution will help her shrug off the effects?

Thank you! Did not realize that. Should I assume, then, that is the standard here? I have now added the links since it makes sense in this situation! I was originally expecting there to be a way to link the in-line footnotes down to the authors' notes footnote explanations, which might be the best solution for future footnotes that are more of the explanatory rather than link type, but I did not find a way.
It certainly will not hurt! It has to be good for something. Obviously, humans and normal little ponies should not attempt!
What’s Groundhog day?

Thank you for reading. Groundhog Day, mentioned in the author's notes on Chapter 2, is a comedy movie from 1993 starring Bill Murray. It involves a time loop that takes place on Groundhog Day, a tradition in the United States. The movie has a 96% rating from critics on Rotten Tomatoes, which is rather impressive.

Ok thx
Until mommy gets tired and ask kindly to Discord to stop her from doing time-loops... Or the alicorn of time appear suddenly and tell Flurry that she was a bad filly

Oh no I'm old
what a great way to give the age of a foal
aww Cadance, didn’t they teach you any cultural competence in Princess school? that’s what the yaks are into!
hehe, love the dry humo(u)r
oh yeah, def believe Cadance would have those!
love the use of parenthetical clarification
oh boy. what a power dynamic an alicorn foal brings to its parents!
oof! def reminds me of that Twilight Zone episode
ahaha. i mean, at least in this instance, Flurry might have a point!
hehe. and yeah, “Slim Flim” is too good to pass up
to be fair, that is the ideal strategy according to game theory probably
dang, these dogs aren’t very good at this!
wow, those brothers really have a well-diversified product line
oof, well that is existentially terrifying!
and oof! i didn’t make the connection that this would be the reason for the Empire’s financial troubles…
hehe, nice callback to that restaurant!
oh, nice!
i mean, given Cadance’s frazzledness, her not realizing what’s going on yet is all too understandable
aww, responsibly donated! that’s good!
very important boundary to set with the child!
well, not the best prefiguring for how a Flurry Heart reign would look!
ahaha
aww, Cadance and the banker pony sure are unintentionally making a lot of references to modern consumer finance memes!
so Flurry Heart
yay new word to learn! though the link didn’t work when i clicked it
aww, Flurry is helping Cadance do well in her day!
so true actually!
a delightful and heartwarming end to a premise that at first seemed so very existentially horrifying! but perhaps like a body in a crash, Cadance’s loose-limbed inebriation let her roll with the blows and come out on the other side intact. and yes, parenting omnipotent infants with a track record of causing chaos with their magic is quite a lot, even for an Alicorn Princess!
ahaha, i totally forgot about the Shining Armor B-plot! almost moved on to the next story before i remembered there was a second chapter. the “Demesne of the Deep Deer” sounds quite ominous just in name, love it
and oof, says a lot!
oof! well, at least with enough time Flurry Heart will grow up and learn that teleporting her father away is not a very cash money thing to do, right?
oh hey, that takes me back! funny to think it was two years ago already
oh boy. poor Shining Armor! and a great way to end this story. time truly is a flat circle
ok absolutely love “Dramatis Nobilis Mannulus”. i really need an excuse to use it myself now. also, hehe, “+Discord”
