That was pretty good. Some spelling and grammar mistakes, but nothing too noticeable. More importantly, this story tugged at my heart strings, which is always a good sign.
ReplyDeleteSeems like Rarity always gets the sad stuff
ReplyDeleteRaaaaaarity...... ;_;
ReplyDeleteWondeful story! I criiiiied.
I find it sorta funny that we just had a Pinky-centric episode that was sure to spawn psycho-pink stories. But then we have Rarity abuse. This might be a new section in the abuse category. Does anyone else recall her being on the receiving end of the beat stick before?
ReplyDeleteI like the story. The goings on between the characters seems genuine enough, like this is actually how both ends of the the trauma would react. The story may seem a bit formulaic at times but the best part is the last quarter I think.
And did anyone else notice a very subtle nod towards flutter-jack shipping? Or am I just seeing things that aren't there?

ReplyDeleteHaha, yeah, I saw the Flutterjack shipping there as well.
Hmm, a little heavy for my liking tbh, well written though.
ReplyDeleteI always thought of Rarity as having a privileged upbringing though :-/
W-wait. Was she... raped? 0.0;
ReplyDeletePoor Rarity this made me sad. I hope anon above me is wrong and she was not sexually abuse just physically. I can talk from experience good lord it is horrible. This story really hit home for me.
ReplyDeleteAwesome, we need more Rarity fics :C
ReplyDeleteYou're deluded if you think that the story was just about physical abuse. I don't think it would be possible for the author to imply sexual abuse any harder unless he started mentioning body parts.
ReplyDeleteIt was painful, really.
ReplyDelete5 stars here.
Sorry for the short comment, but I must leave from here, now. :|
That was simply great, it truly got to me.
ReplyDeleteHardly noticed the mistakes, easily overlook.
I can't get over how great this piece was, it was very well written, 5 stars.
I have tars in my eyes right now. This was really some hard stuff to read. I feel really sorry for Rarity and Sweetie Belle. I never thought that these things could ever happen to her. Sad thing is, that stories like this happen every day everywhere all over the world. I makes me sick to think about it.
ReplyDeleteFantastic story. Really enjoyed it, and it made me like rarity as a character even more. We need more drama/sad fanfics.
ReplyDeleteam I paranoid or is the first part with the decoration "inspired" by the derpy fanfic 'today, tomorrow and forever'? and this part "she nodded and opened her mouth to say the things, that her father had told her so many years before, that he'd kill her for ever saying" is almost identical to "Then, opening her mouth, she uttered the words the monster had swore he'd kill her for uttering." wich is from the twilight sparkle fanfic 'the girl'
ReplyDeletethe author of 'the girl' is also reffering to the rapist as 'the monster'
It may be just plain coincidence, I don't want to judge you or any of the other authors.
This story is still well written and I really enjoyed it as well as the other two i've mentioned, there's nothing wrong with taking a little inspiration from fellow writers. I just wanted to state thow simliarities
I don't know how I stumbled upon this fic but I thought it was good
ReplyDeleteI think the fic was written well and the personalities were accurate, but I can't get my head around the fact that rarity is way too old to protect* sweetie bell...it just doesn't fit two and two together...
