This needs more likes. A surprisingly potent story told with a few scattered shot lines of dialogue. I hope your story gains traction.

Wow, thank you! What a lovely comment.
Writing it in "hashtag tweet" form seemed pretty appropriate for a story about Vignette Valencia - don't think it'd work for a longer story, though - and a few in-universe family connections occurred to me in the process. Definitely an interesting experiment: I'm curious to see how it fares.
The only thing worse than realizing that you're an incredibly shallow person is not knowing what to do about it afterwards. Sunflower catalogued her own mistakes and self-absorption in excruciating detail without even realizing it. It's fascinating to see how her cousin and sister took away such different lessons from her. Thank you for an excellently executed modern-day epistolary story. (It really says something how we never hear anything back from Sunflower's followers. Just blithely shouting into the void rather than talking to her family...)
ok so like I never watched the equestria girls shorts or whatever, so I have like no context for this, but THAT BEING SAID
I think something I really like about your fanfics is that with how much Original Flavoring you blend into them, they're still inextricable from the world of the show. Or, like, you *could* probably switch out the names and put in OCs and post it as an original story, and it would stand up really well, but being in the show's setting gives it this extra layer of depth. you know what I'm trying to say? (like, I don't have the dramatic irony of whatever happens to Val in the future, but I've still got the context of babs and the apple family.) it's, like, pinnacle Transformative Work. I really do love it. favorite types of fics.
THAT ALSO BEING SAID
extremely creative format and extremely well executed too. like, I really feel for this family. from an outsider's pov looking it, it really does kind of look like watching a train crash in slow motion. hope sunny and babs end up being just as close as 'jack and 'bloom...
That was an interesting, unique execution and well written, but horrifyingly horrible.
I feel a bit unsettled after reading this, as if "I" were some sort of grotesque voyeur vulture, picking over the ruins of someone's life for my entertainment

Mellow drama in a nutshell.
I have always had such a soft spot for social media fics and when I saw that Vignette was in this one I went :O because she’s easily one of my favorite characters from the later EqG specials. This story was so touching and well executed.
The choice to have the story be told through somewhat of an “outsider” perspective (as opposed to, say, Vignette’s perspective) worked really well, just that transition of “awe yay a new baby in the family!” to “ugh this baby is actually really annoying” to “awe yay /another/ new baby in the family!” and then gradually growing more and more jealous as the first new baby starts to succeed. Vignette being related to the Oranges + therefore the Apples is absolutely GENIUS I am in awe of your mind. Also the implication that Vignette got the “haters gonna hate” phrase from Sunflower….. so so so good
I just adore everything about this story. The style of dialect, how the first few snaps of Babs are almost identical to the first snaps of Vignette, the shift from “Val” to “Valencia” after Babs comes along, “Vignette” being a later addition to her name, drifting apart as they get older but still wanting to reach out, the “baby’s last word” hashtag…. there’s so much fun (and heartbreaking) worldbuilding in such a unique format. Thank you for writing!!
