”and my daddy, he didn’t die soon enough.”

Jesus. Well, that tells me all I need to know about him.

“I promised myself that I would make sure nopony would ever feel the way I did when I was a filly. I never had friends, my parents… well, my mom died when I was a kid, and my daddy, he didn’t die soon enough. And I was on my own at age 16. Being in Bridlewood, it didn’t help with how depressed it was. It fueled the darkness in me, especially with how everypony treated me. It was nothing but disrespect. But one day, when finding Sunny’s lantern, and seeing the message inside, saying I had friends… It made me think about how gray and colorless it was in Bridlewood, and the hate I got from there. A- and I think that flipped a switch in me where I was like, ‘okay, fuck you, watch this’, and I promised myself a few things from that day, which was to never let them see that they get to you, and to find my friends in Maretime Bay. If there was one thing I wasn’t going to do, was prove everypony right about Bridlewood; that all the unicorns there were shifty, dangerous, and unstable.”

Sweet Luna and I thought pinkie family had it rough.

Oh wow that was something here but also another rare shipping between hitch and Izzy I haven't seen too much of so it's nice to see that and I think it's kind of cute for them to be together anyway it looks like Misty was getting a little peer pressure during the sleepover and she just ran off and Izzy was getting really fed up with zipp and basically just told her off what she did and everything and it looks like Zipp finally got the message and now she feels remorse about the situation the girls wanted to talk with Izzy but hitch decided to talk with her instead and it looks like he does have a crush on her but he doesn't know that she can return the feelings to him but he wants to put that aside to see how she's doing and she even told him the reason why she's always smiling and everything which I guess that's also the same thing what Pinkie Pie does as well poor girl but then they had a pretty good moment with each other and she even gave him a kiss and also looks like they have a date as well which that's awesome but speaking of which zipp apologize to Misty and also to Izzy which both of them did accept which that's pretty nice and I do like that reaction the others got when she told them that she's going out with hitch this is a pretty good story I like it keep up the good work

“Heh, truth ? You wanna know the truth, Zipp?” Izzy now turned to the Pegasus, eyes glassy, but her face filled with rage. “If you could for once stop playing detective , live a little, and not assume anypony new is a criminal or a suspect, maybe things in life would be easier for everypony else.”

Now I like Zipp, but dang.
Seriously, though, this is very well done. As jarring as it is to see such a fun-loving character like Izzy genuinely angry and sad, you manged to make feel completely in character here. And IzzyHitch isn't exactly the most popular ship out there, which is all the more reason to appreciate this story.
Or maybe it's called MoonBlazer... 🤔

Hitch had never heard Izzy curse. She usually used fun words like fudge or something cheesy. But in this case, she was as serious as it gets.

Yeah it was kind of weird for her to say a bad word

Зипп и Хитч? Это что-то новенькое! А в прочем мне кажется это самая лучшая пара :)
Хорошая история, трогательная)
Надо было рисовать плачущую Иззи, а не Мисти😅

A reference to Zootopia? :)
