Top tier dialogue.
This story is moving at a glacial pace. If the writing was of a lesser quality, I might have gotten bored of this story, but it's a testament to the quality of the story crafting that I'm always eager to read more.
People who do shit like that automatically rub me the wrong way. Like the kind of people or parents who keep trying to force dates on someome with people they know. It just makes me think they don't respect boundaries.
Sorry Starla.
You (probably unintentionally) just took me back to 2012 watching FiM on Haxmega's stream, he played the Dover Boys before the weeks episode...sometimes he played a trick version that turned into a YTP at the "Confound those (Ponies) Dover boys, they drive me to drink" part.....
anyways nice that Midnight now has another pony to talk to, if she can get past her mistrust of everyone. (Someone to help her work out her feelings she may ot may not have for John perhaps)
Loved the newest chapter, the interaction with Starla was insightful, however, I also find people who try to force others into relationships so fricken annoying. Irl mostly. I want John and midnight to come together, no sense hiding that hope, but damn if folks get assumptions up their backsides and can’t let ‘em go about other people’s intentions. Hate that.
But love this story.

With Starla, it's less about what she's saying and more of what she's trying to do by saying it. Like Midnight says, she's smarter than expected. From everything we've seen through the story, the best way to actually talk to Midnight and get past the wall is to throw her a curveball and put her off-balance.
11819157
Which is how I've been seeing Midnight. The only time that she gets to open up about herself is when she has to deal with something beyond her control. I do like Midnight; her attitude may need adjusting, yet her self-reliance and assuming that everyone and everypony wants to inflict her with harm is something only Midnight can (and must) learn to control herself. Perhaps by this conversation with another organic ponybot similar to Midnight might help in some regard, Time will tell, I'd love to see Midnight and this Starla become acquaintances at the very least.
I actually thought at first when you introduced the name "Starla", I instantly thought of "Starlight". How wrong I was, huh?
11819116
Yeah, part of me keeps going "Wait is that it?" and is worried this is gonna be one of those fics where the story covers like basically no real time.
But the rest of me is like "youre enjoying it, aren't you?" and is happy
dawww I love this chapter so much, and honestly it's a great lesson overall too
I am guessing Starla has her appearance modeled after Daybreaker? Would make sense why Midnight has a natural aversion to her at first that even she isn't sure why hehe
And thus the introvert is found by the extrovert. Such begins the extrovert adoption process, a thing the introvert can do nothing about.

Pity the introvert for the end has arrived
I wonder if Midnight was possibly made for some type of fighting in mind with all her enhancements? Everything seems so excessive next to how star was created, or maybe I'm just looking to far into things.
11819482
LOL that's the truth

Starla really wasn't meant to be based off of anyone - she's correct on that, at least in the story.
Starla came from my mind as a combination of Celestia's disguise in one of the comics, Golden Feather, and the 'original' Daybreaker we got from the card game, Nightmare Star.
This story has the best dialogue between any and all characters I've read on this site. I could never. Props for the consistently amusing and thoughtful dialogue.
Aw man my heart. That girl needs therapy

Yeah, this is where the 'Slice of Life' tag comes in. While there is an overall drive forward in the story, it's also a look into lives decidedly more 'normal' and 'mundane' in a sense. That was something I had set in my head when writing this - in the past, I've done a fair bit of skipping around in stories. 'One month later' sort of thing. Perhaps this could be considered an extreme to the other end of the spectrum, but it's the little nuances as things shift that are the reason for the frequent insights and slow pace.
In a way, it's a
showstory about nothing.11819146
Purely unintentional. I've not participated in any sort of watch party or gathering. This comment section is probably the most I interact with anyone, to be honest. Frankly, I'm unnerved by how, in retrospect, Midnight was written in such a close manner to my own personality. Sort of makes more sense how I inadvertently got close to forming a tulpa of her just writing and brainstorming this tale. Had to readjust how I do things to put the kibosh on that.

I don't have the time to go back and go through everything, but to this day it still astounds and overwhelms me how much I hear this compliment - particularly as I've been asked in private a few times how to get better at dialogue - and I'm not sure what I do right to make it work well. Thank you, and thanks to everyone that's shared this compliment beforehand - I've been meaning to say something.
Personally I do think trust has to be earned after a fashion. Everyone has a baseline level, I trust that the people walking nearby me are not actively plotting my demise or similar, but I can think of few people who would trust someone at random with their house keys.

slow but heartfelt story👍
Midnight you designation gives away. They wanted a Nightmare Moon but you are too much luna for them.
Fuck yes
Someone's gonna make Midnight say "Friendship is Magic" aren't they
Very enjoyable chapter. Love having Starla coaching Midnight on how to enjoy life.
Midnight doesn't really know what she wants because she has a hard time pondering the future with all the feelings of uncertainty and danger she still seems to bear, even in spite of her clear trust in John.
I feel like, while she is certainly more secure, she's still in a sort of survivor-mode from all her trauma and her narrow escape.
11819146
You know your history.

It certainly makes for a appropriate coincidence.
"Confound these ponies!" was one of the earliest fandom memes. Good times...
Oop, this is gonna be interesting.
I don't think she's entirely a robot.
I had a feeling that was the case.

So there are more... Interesting.
I'm not at all surprised that Teddy turned out to be right on that one.
That explains her reaction to John calling him Princess then.
With all this new lore that we've gotten on Midnight's time in the lab, it almost makes me whish for a prequel to this story showing her time at (And escape from) EquisCo.

I would not put it past the US Government funding her as a military project, after all, we do seem to like finding as many creative ways to kill a bad guy as possible.
She was the executor of her discard then? Just crafted a particular outcome from already given plans.
Really half expected her to go "you smell me?!"
Mixed signals indeed. Can't wait to see what happens if she goes into heat.... 😈
