Binged this story over a few days, I'm so damn invested! Keep up the great work. Can't wait for the next chapter@
I have really enjoyed how this story has been going.
this story does not fail to make me laugh out loud almost every chapter

That's about the best compliment I can think of. I started writing this to try to do a pure comedy thing where this stupid OP character just runs around and does quirky shit leaving everyone all "wtf?" but I figured that would get stale quick. I've heard comedy is really hard to write and I believe it. Anyone that can pull it off - hats off to ya.
I’m loving the detailed methodical approach here, don’t you worry. I don’t need explosions constantly going off. If someone else does they should ask whether the story is right for them.
Good chapter! Didn't really notice the wall of text from the last chapter, unless you edited it? Anyway really enjoying this story so far
what is a "brain-addled mind " exactly lol ?
It's a play on words.
Luna is the roman moon goddess. Sol is the roman sun god. "Sol-estia." And celestial means
https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/celestial
1: of, relating to, or suggesting heaven or divinity
// celestial beings
2: of or relating to the sky or visible heavens
And, in the first episode, both Celestia and Luna are depicted on a yinyang. You probably remember this symbol, which in later seasons was used as the flag of Equestria.
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Yin_and_yang
* Yin - female/passive/negative principle in nature, the moon
* Yang - positive/active/male principle in nature, the sun
They're named after gods that correspond to primal forces in chinese psuedo-religious/philosophy while simultaneously being depicted on that symbol in a manner corresponding to their names and that is roughly as subtle in western terms as depicting a character on a cross.
...which the show also does. You probably remember this, where Celestia is shown with her arms spread like Jesus on the cross while the sun shines behind her like the sun/son of god.
And to seal the deal, remember how characters in the show used to say "As Celestia is my witness?" Yeah, that's a reference that's not only popularized by this scene from Gone With the Wind, it's also a reference that's made something like 30+ times in the bible. For example:
https://www.biblehub.com/philippians/1-8.htm
"For God is my witness, how I yearn for you all with the affection of Christ Jesus."
The premise of "God as witness" is that as God is omniscient and omnipresent, he is everywhere in all things and witnesses everything that happens. Which is demonstrated of Celestia when she raises Twilight Sparkle as an alicorn. Everyone remember this scene, where Celestia meets Twilight in a heavenly starscape, then proceeds to gives her an afterlife review and sings about how she's "watched her since that very first day."
As if their names weren't clue enough, the early show was absolutely full of symbolism depicting the royal sisters as gods.

Duh, "brain-addled mind" is what the author had when he changed "sleep-addled mind" to that instead of "sleep-addled brain". Fixed, thanks.

All very valid points, which I appreciate you taking the time to explain. I don't think "grandpa watchin a cartoon with his granddaughter" would probably go into it that far. I think a couple chapters later he talks more about how much he actually knows about the show. (minor spoiler, I know)
Cure kind of got the name reference wrong, either way. When I looked up Celestial I got this:
So yeah, he'll definitely not always get things right and he's, unfortunately, not a walking encyclopedia. I'll try to stick with "here's what he'd say with the info he has available" rather than looking things up and always getting them right.
I thought it was pretty good not boring
I like it, though I do get what people are saying with the wall of text complaint. I think its more that the story is a bit too slow paced and theres several long sections of dialogue that arent really necessary to be that long

The great thing about reading stories with your phone on here is that you don't notice

Phone power!
Lmao this I love the jokes this story produces.🤣
I am really loving this story. I like how it's a slice of life story and yet still feels like an adventure. Cure's story is very unique and one I've rarely, if ever, read in another on this site. Each chapter somehow finds a way to make me laugh and I'm looking forward to what lies ahead.
I can understand why Vines may have been worried about how Deed would react to her medical condition. Definitely, the wrong type of stallion probably would negatively react and maybe even try to force the issue. Deed, however, seems like the type that would want her to be okay more than anything, so I could see him being upset to learn that he may have been hurting her for a long time (if she ever tells him, that is).
A pretty good Chapter.
Thought occurs: He'll eventually be able to heal with a touch, but he'll also be able to absolutely fuck shit up too. Crippling, maiming, reshaping, removal of bodily functions like moving, outright Death. He could already kill actually, that'd be real easy. Pretty neat.

That's why you don't f with doc
Heh, how can you punch so hard and lift back up so well?
Amethyst is right, but only technically so, since there's no "this magic heals" spell. But also right that Cure would definitely become highly sought after.
Did he move himself or did the girls do it? 😈
Yes. Yes you should. Especially if you're moving it from gdocs to Fimfic like I used to do, it wigs out of you don't double space the paragraphs. Follow the example text pattern:
"Example text"
Empty
"Example text"
He who? Deed? Heavy?
...This is so much pressure he's putting himself under. thinking/knowing he's the only one who might be able to fix all these problems, needing to solve them while you know somewhere someone is sick or dying. I don't think I'd ever take time away from working towards that goal. I'd feel bad taking time for myself.
This kid has so much going on in his head. He's gonna breakdown soon. What he needs is a really good cry.
This is so sad I am going to shatter ;-;
