You and Me. Practically the same. After all, we are both sane.

T

What senses do you use? And how often do you use them? Which one do you think you use the most? The least? If you had to choose one to enhance? One to give up? Sometimes, you don't get the chance to choose.
Glassy eyes leave one crippled but, maybe there's hope in the form of telekinesis.

This story is simply about a blind filly's start in life. Though, she's not all that she seems...

The wholesome potential is off the charts

i agree with casual McReaderson over there. love the wholesome potential.

Seems like telekinesis would be tricky to use without working eyes - all the scenes of unicorns using it seem to imply that they need to look at an object in order to lock their magic on to it.

I wonder if clairvoyance spells are a thing?

How cute. A very sweet story. My only question, how long till we find out the name of our protagonist?

11021671
The name is going to come up soon so don't worry.

11021607
I like your thinking.

11021164
I'm happy to hear that from both of y'all.

AQUA DIDNT HAVE A NAME???? THATS WHY WE DIDNT KNOW IT!!!!! That's sooooo sad. :fluttercry:

I'm glad she has one now.

The intention of the name is to be temporary. At least from their pov, it is. She might get a new name, a more fitting one, a longer one, extend her current one, or something else.

Time shall tell.

MAGICLY RESISTANT BALLS? Ooooh, that's interesting. Aqua must have some powerful magic to make it past the wards.:twilightsmile:

11029097
i was expecting the block to go through the celling or explode mabey get crushed but maby if she is starteled we could see some very powerfull stuff

11029097
She's been spending all her time practising her magic. She's relatively weak right now. Well... mostly.

How exactly does that work?

11034416
How does what work?

Take your time.

11059423
"Don't tell me what to do."

In all seriousness, thanks. I want to be able to consistently write. It'll take time to get there, so for now, I'm gonna focus on just writing well.

'how do i do that'?

i thought sky would have automatically thought auqua wouldn't know. seems obvious aqua has had no prior training in magic aside from the training balls.

Looking down at her hooves, Sky noticed they were smeared with a cosmic purple.

i dont understand. should i know what this means?

11071147
Nope. This is something unique to this story.

11071147
I just assumed either lulu or aqua had more mana than the gem showed... it just didn’t all go to the gem and instead went els. However I think it’s possible this was expected by sky- was rather eager to get them gone. Sky likely has something going on

11071262
well she is learning blind so she linkely is doing things slightly diffrently and maby more effective

This is adorable!

I wonder if aqua will keep the name? I hope so!

And will she meet up with sunset and twilight at some point?

Cotton hesitated, wondering how to continue. "Sort of surprised that you've never heard of a cutie mark before."

Aqua: “I’m blind. How am I supposed to ask about something I don’t know exists because I can’t see it?”
Cotton: “Oh, right. Sometime I forget.”


Overall, I feel the story would work better if Aqua didn’t have such a shallow explanation for her past. Just gloss over it for now until you need Aqua to overcome traumatic event or confide in someone. Having it here, now, feels tacked on for no real reason.

And I know all about tacking things on for no real reason. My one and only story is just that, over and over. ;p

I see what you mean but, fret not, dishonesty exists.

Does Snowdrop get mentioned in this story?

11231903
There might or might not be plans for that.

11231913
I think the premise of why Celestia took her in is that she looks like Snowdrop, yes?

11232035
Once again, won't confirm nor deny. We'll just have to find out with time.
I will point emphasis at the Alternate Universe tag; It'll become very relevant later on.
I do like the whole idea of Snowdrop though.

Thank you for the chapter!

Is inkwell partially blind? And i wonder how aqua will learn to create her own magic? And what will her cutie mark be?

11232647
If you had the impression that Inkwell was partially blind, then that is my bad. She's supposed to have normal vision. Her eyes glazing over in this context is meant to portray being lost in thought.

As for learning magic while blind, some spells would help massively, like a dictation spell. Whereas others, like teleportation, would be too dangerous to even attempt. Not that Aqua knows that.

Ok this seems fun

I wonder what's her plan in the future also how did she get into the orphanage?

Oooh man, I'm curious on what her Dream is?
Bring Human Entertainment to Pony Land?

Oooh ok that's a good description

Oooh man I hope she won't get bullied but if she did then I'm pretty sure she's going to sass them to death.

Oooh does she have Dark magic?

Is she planning to make a sad backstory when she learns more about the world she lives in?
Because that would be interesting

Oooh did she draw her old home?

I love the details you did with the eyes at the other chapter

Ok I new it stupid snobby high horse ponys Great...

Thanks for the comments, and I'm glad you like the story.

I'm a little slow on updates sometimes, but I don't think I'll be stopping anytime soon. It's good for me to continue writing this, as I want to get better at writing.

Just you wait, there's more to come, and more questions to ask.

Pfft, I imagine the day of confession be like:
- Hello, I lied to you. I'm not Sunny, I'm Princess Celestia, immortal alicorn ruler of this realm.
- Oh, hello. I lied to you too. I'm not Aqua, I'm [redacted], an adult alien from another world. Nice to meet you.

11238063

I'm looking forward to that confrontation, Solid. Heh, Solid.
But are you certain they used to be human?

11238581
Alien is not neccecery human, but I think it will be human. I don't see "crossover" tag, so it's inlikely it will be, for example, Turian or Vulkan or shoggoth or something like that. Using original alien race is pain in the butt, so I think human will do.

What was Sunny lying to Aqua about? I'm a little confused.

11239050
Interesting to hear, but thank you.

11239098
There have only been ~3 chapters with sunny as the perspective. Alongside that, only seeing how something acts and the occasional coherent thought doesn't tell much of its history. When speaking of an event, the context for that event doesn't immediately come to mind, only the event itself, or a significant detail in that event.

The intent in making this story was for me to experiment and attempt a story that feels semi-disjointed. The idea of the unreliable narrator, but with multiple narrators that are all unreliable puts together a story more akin to real life than the average novel. I'm not good at writing yet but, in time... as all things.

Long story short, there's no direct mention of what Sunny was lying about, yet.

11240772
Ah that makes sense then. I thought I'd somehow skipped something entirely. You definitely have the semi-disjointed thing down pat.
