I would've been d'awwwing the whole way through it (especially at the beginning), but since it's such a blatantly Foregone Conclusion I couldn't feel anything but despair throughout the entire thing

I dunno. Our world isn't particularly open to oddities like flying ponies living in them. Rainbow Dash wouldn't have much of a chance to be free or do anything but live undercover with her adoptive dad for the rest of her life.

On the other hand, yeah, what the fuck was Celestia thinking, not bringing him to Equestria? It's not like the government would come take him away and do experiments on him. Maybe if the universe asplodes if anyone spends too much time in the wrong place?

I'll have to read this "My Little Dashie" thing.

And what's that, Ginger? No feeding my ego after I half-assed a happy story, just for you (that even stars Applejack, no less)? Wah. I'm heartbroken. Next time I'll let you cry!No, I'm not being serious.

Maybe it's the memory thing. (btw The line: "You remember that memory spell from the Discord incident, don't you Twilight?" is where I officially started losing it) He could be with her, but Rainbow Dash wouldn't remember him.

I'm too depressed to read anything happy at the moment, I wouldn't be able to appreciate it.

I liked your story Moe Dantes.

And I like your avatar.

In other news; what do you all think of these police pony names?

Harness Bull (from an old fashioned slang term for a uniformed officer)

Cherry Top (from a slang term for a police car, the old ones with a single rotating red light. Watch the start of the The Naked Gun films for an example)

Krispy Kréme (Need I say more?)

What episodes did the Renzetti guy write?

I should have been asleep five hours ago! Now y'all made me go read this thing!

Well, of course it's sad that Dashie had to go, and that Bob (can I call him Bob, for convenience? I don't remember him having a name) couldn't go to Equestria with her, but he became a better person for having experienced what he had. At the start, he was a broken, empty shell of a man. By the end, it looked like he could start living his life again, maybe pick a glimmering star to reach out for. As heart-rending*

^{(I'm not sure why I keep using that instead of just "heartbreaking")}

as the denouement was, I personally consider this firmly on the side of a happy ending.

Rob Renzetti is (was :( ) Story Editor of MLPFIM not writer.

Is this true? ED says it's still a rumor.

Acording to Amy Keating Rogers this is common knowlegde.

Where in blazes is FIMFiction.net's favorites button?

Maybe Gingerninja should just stay away from the fanfics and avoid getting needlessly depressed (or grossed out). Sticking to established canon just makes things more fun, IMO.

Until ED actually changes their post to have it be confirmed, I will not believe this.

I agree. Some fics are just pointlessly depressing...

...then again, there's that whole gotta experience true sadness before you can appreciate true happiness theory.

Implying that you can experience true sadness from a pointlessly depressing fic.

Depressing things never depress me too long, so I'm fine with reading them. ^_^

"What's good about sad?" "It's happy, for deep people."

How would you define pointlessly depressing?

"Who?"

...You people disgust me. Rob Renzetti was the dude who created My Life as a Teenage Robot, and the 2nd half the brain trust behind this show along with Lauren.

Along with a few short cartoons he did in the past, Renzetti's been known for strong female characters, so I wouldn't be surprised if he's one of the reasons our favorite ponies are so likeable.

If he's gone, who knows how well season 3 will hold up. ;_;

"Hey! I just realized! I'm popular in the minds of fans! Depending on the scale of popularity I am on this show, I will step down at the right time! Because that is how it works!"

He made...

Okay, you've convinced me to be slightly worried.

I didn't exactly like My Life as a Teenage Robot, however if he's the guiding force behind the characterization...

Well, actually, I just play it safe and always assume the next season is when the show is gonna jump the shark. Because then if it happens, I've lost nothing and don't have to be vexed by my disappointment, but if I'm wrong and its good then I'm pleasantly surprised. It just makes more sense that way.

That being said, I seem to remember a lot of us assuming season two would be a shark-jumping point and it turned out to be excellent so far Return of Harmony aside, so let's not work ourselves into a state just yet.

Something that tries to be a tearjerker, but ends up trying too hard and just becomes ineffectual.

So I'm back. Any word on Ginger showing his dad the show?
