”An everyday tragedy.”

Oh, I really liked the mood of this. Is the person he's talking to the reader themselves? The story gave me that impression and if so, it's a really nice way of going meta without the usual aggressive fourth-wall breaking. Being left out not even due to malice or conscious intent, but due to "how things are" is such an everyday tragedy.

Oh, I really liked the mood of this.

I'm very happy to hear that.

I intended that. But there could be other figures just outside of Spike's life, watching... or who he believes is watching. I wrote it to support that possibility, too.

This fic perfectly encapsulates what it's like to be a gamer.

On a serious note, does the destruction of the Golden Oak Library in the show have any involvement with this fic? If so, it's a clever tie-in.

Great work as always <3
I feel like the show never really did Spike as much justice as he deserved, so to show him in a more rounded way like you have is a great breath of fresh air

Fantastic as always, man. You're getting unstoppably good at thousand word kino.

Spike deserves a lot more love and you did a great job with his voice here. We know from little hints the show dropped here and there how deeply introspective and sensitive he really is, and this capitalized on that really well.

I'm glad his voice shined through. He definitely didn't get as much credit as he should have, but he still pulled through in the end. I wanted to paint a picture of just what kind of thinking could have encapsulated his time, and I'm pleased the soft-side approach worked well-enough for you to like it.
Thanks for reading.

From the beginning, I always felt like Spike along the CMC'S & Luna were better off on their own shows & away from the main cast. This way they could've had more time to develop their characteristics, expand on their abilities & talents, & more importantly to prove that they can be their own heroes & shine bright in the spotlight without always having to live in the shadows of their siblings. This thought came to me especially after season 2 seeing how much grief they got which undoubtedly left the main cast in a BAD LIGHT. Especially how Luna was treated when she made her season 2 debut. If my idea actually did come into fruition, certainly almost everyone would flock in crowds & bunches to see it for they know hands down who the REAL stars of MLP should've been.

Aw, Someone give Spike a hug
:moustache:
