You know, there is such a thing as assisted suicide, where you impact the choice greatly. Yes, in the end it was Trixie's choice, but she wasn't in any state of mind appropriate for that choice to be considered valid. It's a reason why psychiatrists can easily take advantage of patients. Get them hooked on drugs to help the depression, refuse to give them anymore and ruminate about the pros of suicide. What do you think will happen? It's not coddling to NOT drive a poor depressed mare to suicide. That's just not being a dick.

Yeah, show went dark today. It's really horrifying to know what must've been going through poor Trixie's mind to drive her to killing herself with almost no break in resolve. We've been told that Starlight was her first friend. I can't even begin to imagine what it's been like to be alone for perhaps, 20 years? To be laughed at, especially after Twilight's ass-kicking, and thought of as nothing more than a joke. My friends, Trixie didn't just lose her friend that day, she lost her will to live. It was the final straw and Twilight ALMOST made a pony kill herself. Had Starlight not looked back, and this wasn't a kid's show, it stands to reason Trixie would've died; rather painfully. The poor thing just wanted to be given another chance and have someone around who would care about her, and Twilight took what she felt as the last chance away from her, seemingly for good.

Well I am someone and I'd definitely care no matter when it came out. TBH I was rather distracted from the fandom's content all-together. I stuck to the show OR I watched fan things. Not both at the same time. I picked up FoE of my own accord, not because of a hype train, when looking for something to read, and since I didn't interact with hype-trainers, their bias didn't have any effect on me, and I STILL think its amazing. True, not 100% or even 80% original, and I guess it does sorta end like Fallout 3. The difference is that Fallout 3 to me was pretty emotionless while FoE, not so much. There was so much more relation in that game and so much more to development of character than what we got from the last fallout, to the point where I can only say bravo at improving something that may have been done worse by another guy

To me, Fallout: Equestria and following FoE: Project Horizons are two of the most inspiring books of my life. They've motivated me even more to finish my own series, and they themselves are quite..painful. There is a lot of life lesson in there, about being generous, about the painful reality of a world that is stacked against you, about friendships and trust, about drug problems, etc... There is a lot of sadness, particularly in Project Horizons. There are copious amounts of sex that is done in the right way to not make it overbearing There is a lot of relationship problems There is a lot of the things we may feel including self-doubt and morality clashes They are definitely some things I'd recommend to people even if they don't watch MLP because of these things.
