>>2717 >I was actually talking about Celestia, not Cadence, but I didn't fit it well since I had just mentioned Cadence. I...went into double standards as well. We know that Celestia and Luna were two students of Starswirl but we don´t much about what made them special or stand out above the rest (unless you are counting the comics and the Legends Of Magic arc). Probably because they were alicorns or had some kind of talent that drew the attention....but we don´t know about the selective process to introduce them into loyalty.
>Not sure I could say get ya on politics since for me it was more of gradual process. But I think I feel ya on the paranoia. Obviously your personal experiences and results will be different than mine because you went through a different path or period of time to assume and overcome with that new info into your mind and digest it with smaller dosis. I am just basically acknowledging and admitting about that experience of mine, reflecting it in some way and entertain with these settings. Giving it a productive twist and make it OC material. I couldn´t imagine writing this for other characters though.
>Though it wasn't as quick I have had a few times of almost obsessive paranoia do to being debased. Not a good state... ufff, that´s fucked up. I might have had obsessions about political stuff before but it never went into that direction of feeling so claustrophobic and alone relatively speaking until that event. You feel sucked into the void and betrayed to what you had believed before, breaking the columns you had cemented. All that chaos and rebuilding process leads to those symptoms that not many people would handle that well.
One must feel fortunate and proud to not have fallen into more stupid and over the edge decisions because of that and the lesson is that if you have survived to those experiences, barely anything else will challenge you as hard as that.
So yeah, my plan I think is embracing that it happened and never repeat that mistake again and try to see if I can make something artistic with it. And it keeps going into....somewhere else...
