>Hey, as long as your satisfied with it. I'm a sucker for background details and headcanon as well.
Well, pretty much for now. I have written what I like. I did it for the first time here, now I repeat it. However, I from the inside, feel to cover something new even if it´s the same theme. Basically the episode and the movie gave the tools, I just tried to mix them and give a point of view that not many would ask for. I mean, who is going to write about the Queen? Same question with Bat Pony Cadence,the most notable fic of yours now that you have rated mine. This is why I felt some apathy while rewriting FiM but I guess that meta element made it different all the way through.

>divorce being portrayed as simply not working out rather than one side being a victim to infidelity or abuse like ho many times it's betrayed
>in general tend to have someone as an antagonist, while this, however briefly and subtly, hit on a frustration of something being sucky situation without anything really to attribute the failure of things, or any clare cut person to blame.
the episode went with both divorced parents chilling and having a nice conversation, not being resentful nor having to blame why it happened. They just got over it and treat themselves as "close contacts" and those things happen. Media overhypes it just for the sake of causing drama all the time. I needed some drama to write this, but it puts the perspective of entertaining the kids while all the transition happens. I give to the Queen some familiar issues to think and challenge her in how she would react and solve the problem.

And as you said, there is no one to blame, they are free to choose where they want to live and nobody, not even the authority, can prevent a personal decision. It happens because hey, not all relationships have the eternal Disney love of living together forever. Novo blames the Storm King because most of her frustrations had to paid in some way and the hippogriffs were going to fight against him personally for it in the initial movie scripts. She cannot blame the event itself because...it´s illogical, a Queen cannot afford to put a bad image on Sky Beak because of his decision.

>it is a differet thing than studies that caused the feeling. Several factors actually.
yeah, it´s just that they are combined in order to contribute the story with that detail. Sometimes the idea is not what is wrong but the way to transfer it into the story and it doesn´t fit in the best moment.

>Your first early stuff would probably be a 6 range to me, not out of anything wrong but that it was just a simple little story.
yeah, they were there to fill the board. It´s basically me putting random thoughts everywhere using the pony universe.
>I think you Radiance fic is centianly above 8 for sure, along with this one. I enjoyed your Luna and Celestia fics at a level at nearly at 9, but if I were going to take into account structure I may have to knock a couple of points off.
It took me an entire morning for that one and while I certainly wanted to write about bats and darkness, I started with her...ironically.
