Larkspur Blossom is an Earth pony colt. Having lost his mother, with his father distant, burying himself in work and other distractions, he takes care of his younger sisters, a Pegasus and a unicorn. Upon losing their father, they are shuffled around among family in Equestria. In Vanhoover he meets his best friend. A story of gain and loss, and growing up.
If Larkspur Blossom was voiced, what would he sound like?

I have to tell you, I haven't been able to make up my mind about that. When I read his lines and thoughts, about all that comes to mind is a calm baritone voice. One that's almost bored, but not monotonous. But a specific, familiar character with which to compare his voice? I'm unable to come up with one.
After some consideration, I decided a "Teen" rating was appropriate for Larkspur Blossom, rather than a "Mature" rating. I made this change after 7 chapters and considering where this story will end and another will begin. The sequels will probably merit "Mature" ratings.
I tried to make sure nothing in the current chapters merited a "Mature" rating, as well as the material I'm currently working on. If anyone sees anything the "Profanity" tag doesn't reasonably cover, let me know. The input is appreciated. I just want to follow the site rules.
Thanks.
Ok I finally caught up with this story. Really nice work you did. Oh and gelatin isn't the only thing you can use... But then again, they do eat eggs. No making real cake and stuff without. At least if it is supposed to taste good.
Now I just have to catch up with the only remaining one.
It is a bit strange that there are so few comments on this story.

I expect the stories to get more views and attention once they get higher in the word counts. Company will last at least a few months, but the other two will be quite a bit longer.

Well I just find it strange that people up or even downvote storys without even a word of why they liked, disliked it.
I mean, if a story gets allmost daily updates, it would make sense not commenting every single time. But with a story that updates slower? One has enough time to of a little something right?
Ok sometimes I just read a story and think it was a good read but don't bother to write it, because there enough comments already stating that in better words. Then I mostly just upvote the Story, as well as one of those comments and go to the next story..

I am not concerned. All it takes is enough time.
Cute chapter!
Are you taking this off break soon?

Late summer's the plan.
You were not kidding when you said you only do OC characters
You really seem to have a thing for tragic teen moms. What do you have planned for Princess?
I conclude you are a sadist. You really love knocking around your characters.
9088946
I assure you that the princess and her friends won't get knocked up anytime soon.

Meh.
?
Lickin'? Not kicking?
And a Heavyweights reference, I see?
I love Misty's "ham-hoofed" approach to this.
Pretty heavy for 11 year olds.
9089949
It was a mistake but I thought it was funny and left it in.
9089951
Heavyweights is a movie every kid needs to see.
Will say it again you really love to put your characters through hell.

I have a "Drama" tag attached; case closed.
A whole semester in two chapters? It kind of fell off but I do not know what else you might do with 5th graders. Looking forward to middle and hight school stuff if you get to it.
I did like the kids party that was fun.
Nice. This works.

The next story is in the editing process. But I may just let it be until The Virgin Company is done with, which should be in the next couple/three months.
9103266
I thought it ended just fine.
9103289
Juggling three stories is too much.

So October/November?
Wish you had done more with the second term but I liked it. It made the long drive to Chicago bearable. I thought this story was on a long hiatus so I never bothered starting it.
Cheers!

Glad you enjoyed it. I know I should've done more with the story but had done everything I wanted to as far as them being 5th graders went. The sequel will find them more than a year later, with Lark turning 13.
Cute!

Cartman and the kidney... Classic.
Is your profile pic Thunder Rider? You should have called her Lemon Meringue. I love her “burnt” tips!
9289093
I think there's already a pony called that. But maybe there's one called Thunder Rider too.
Well, I’m hooked.
9389278
Thanks. Glad to hear it. I tried to write something pleasant enough... not too much end-of-the-world existentialist crap here.
...Why does Larkspur Blossom sound like a girl's name?
9440659
It's just the name I gave him. It could be a girls' name but I decided to give it to him anyway. I like the way the name sounds.
I just opened to a field guide for western weedy plants, closed my eyes, and pointed my finger in the index. Delphinium spp.

I'm the same way. I probably needed glasses when I was nine or 10. I got my first pair when I was 11. I'll never forget looking across the mini-mall's corridor from the optical shop, thinking it was normal to see the familiar, blurry posters in the arcade. Putting on those glasses and being able to read everything on the wall is probably one of the most visceral experiences in my life.

I doubt some 11-year-old is overly worried about such things.
