Two versions. Second one is much, much sadder.

Second one reads almost like a copout after reading the first, dunno why. I guess it's sorta like the text version of giving up on happiness.

Well, truthfully, I made the first because I don't like people hating on Blueblood, but I guess it's much the same.

Just because Blueblood happens to be a deconstruction of conservative ideals in women doesn't really make him any less of a prick, he just happens to be an example, making him more useful than your average prick. That said, seeing him reconciled would be really interesting. Or at least have him paired up with a mare who likes being the dominant breadwinner and forming some kind of reverse-conservative-ideal pair.

Almost makes you feel for Celestia as much as Octavia, knowing she values the ponies under her rule as her children.

I doubt that the musicians would be out of work for most of a year, however. I'm certain rich nobility have parties all year-round, and lord knows someone has to provide decent music. Plus, I can't imagine Fancy Pants is the only rich person who's not a complete ass.

Happy endings are for people who aren't cynical, pessimistic trainwrecks with no joy in life-oh fuck I just realized that that described me before I started watching MLP.

Sometimes I still get like that. It's called depression, and it sucks. I usually get over it pretty quick, though, thankfully. Some people aren't so lucky. Not Worth A Bit - A tale of Octavia. 1342835135

I just got around to actually reading it and I actually like the happy ending. It's rather heartwarming and wraps the story up nicely. The version that's on FiMFiction right now seems to end rather abruptly.

I was really bad earlier in life, around 13-14, to the point where I was sobbing myself to sleep every night, both because of some of the shitheads I had to deal with on a daily basis, and because of the whole 'oh shit I'm mortal' realization that hits pretty much everyone at that age. I got out of it in the strangest way possible: by mentally telling myself to stop being such a fucking coward and deal with it. So I basically had an abusive father split-personality in my head for about two years, which was about as absurd as it sounds. Sadly, I've got an obsessive side, so I still mentally go back to some nasty conversation or humiliation from back then (or even as early as elementary school) and think about how I fucked it up and what I could have done better (nothing, with bastards like that around me for most of every day), pretty much every day, in the course of idle daydreaming.



OT: Glad to see it posted on FiMfic; I agree with MC Dirty on this, the happy ending felt better.

I used to be (ha, used? good joke) extremely depressed, such that I was actively planning how to end my life. Well, I've dealt with it in a far stranger way. Memorising the Thoughts For The Day of the 40k stuff.

I've been a cynical wreck since second grade, and never gotten over it. My body's natural instincts/survival mechanisms generally prevent me from doing any visible harm, however it's completely fine with another person/object beating to shit. So basically I'm designed to fight or something, I don't know. If I were religious I'd probably be in a cult, slashing throats or something. Nothing is perfect, and I wish to Ascend.

Yeah, I'm basically so broken I can't brake my breaking or break my braking. GOD DAMN IT EVOLUTION, Y U NO LET THINGS B?

I feel like I could help you with that quite a lot, and really want to because it's horrible, but my previous attempts at being internet psychologist slash philosophy teacher have not ended very well. At all.
