My Little Dashie

[longgone 873]

The first time I read it, I hadn't cried that much since my grandpa's funeral lol. It's really the only fan-fic I've ever read..that is..besides cupcakes. Not much of a reader, but I do have a fluttershy fic on my pc incase I ever feel like reading .

When I read it,it was a little sad but nothing over the top.

The reading however, gave me feels that lasted a few hours.The music the guy chose for it was so fitting

I cried a little, and then I was thinking about it the rest of the day... Then I read the sequel, and I grew happy again... Seriously read the sequel...

WHAAAAAAAAAAAT!!!!!!! WHAT SEQUEL???? WHAT ARE YOU TALKING ABOUT!? I command you to spill your beans!

 

 

As for the OP's question...

 

The beginning of the story itself was enought o make me feel very emotional, there wwere several moments where I let out tears, not only in the sad moments, but in the awww, loving moments. By the end, I had a waterfall coming out of my eyes, and awkward stares from my nine year old sister who couldnt leave well enough alone. It truly is an emotional piece and I love it. But I must say that the ending, with the main six, although touching, fells as though it was rushed through and not written as well as it could have been.

There is this amazing sequel that makes the story feel complete. It is just awesome, I'll post the link... http://www.fimfiction.net/story/5284/My-Little-Dashie%3A-A-sequel It is just amazing... READ IT!

There is a sequel but its not written by the same author, so tbh, I don't consider it canon (funny ain't it).

 

 

 

Initially when I first read the story, I read it reluctantly since alot of people were talking about it so I decided to give a read. While there is big chunks of plot holes along with parts that the author just forced himself to the story to continue it some scenes were placed together pretty well. For example, the section where they are under the tree was pretty moving even with said flaws above. Also, I have to admit nothing was more fitting than this line with that background:

 

"D-dad... Do you still love me?"

 

I have to admit, that for some mystifying reason, that opened my tear ducts for a good while. Another I have to applaud is the final part with the letter. Never before did I cry so much over a fan fiction when it goes through all the heartwarming memories in the letter.

 

Though, While touching, it would be even more potent if it could be related as a passing away of a loved one since with this father daughter bonding metaphor, nothing would be more emotional.

First time I read MLD was . . . interesting. I'd seen a picture someone had made on Deviant Art (the photo of Rainbow Dash hugging her human father), and thought I should check it out.

 

It's worth noting that at that point, I was in major denial about liking the show and suffered bouts of whiny self hatred (It wasn't til later that I found out that the dark forces where cool with me loving My Little Pony).

I was a fan of Cupcakes, Sweet Apple Massacre, The Experiments of Twilight Sparkle and Silent Ponyville. I read My Little Dashy and found myself totally enthralled by the story. By the end of it, I was in tears.

 

It wasn't till a little later that I admitted to myself that I really did love the show, but I can say the MLD helped.

I just finished listening to it being read by mic the microphone, it's a rather good story, sad, but it didn't bring me to tears, although it did bring me close. So far the only thing that has made me shed a tear MLP related is the "save derpy" video, every time I watch it I shed a few tears.

[MLP Nick 8]

i cried a little ok a lot it was just soo sad god i cant even think about it my face gets all depersed and ahhh

[Sneaky 54]

Does anyone have a link to this story? I've heard about it before and am curiois

[Miss Light Diamond 2,802]

It made me sad but I didn't cry or anything.

Also if you guys haven't read the second one, You should. It is no ware near as good as the first but if you are feeling really sad than it kinda helps take the sadness away.

Here you go. You can also get it just by googling my little dashie. The fan fiction is spread around alot so it won't be hard to find a copy.

[cuteycindyhoney 13,307]

Am I actually the only one who didn't think much of it? I read a couple pages and it just seemed to me to be about a delusional guy who pretended he had a Rainbow Dash of his very own. I went "Meh" and stopped reading.

Well it was inspired from a comic someone made.

 

 

So I wouldn't say he was delusional, He just wrote a more "in-depth" story version from this.

You're not the only one...despite my feels, I still think it's really overrated and rather unoriginal. There's a lot of "human have relationship with Rainbow Dash" fics and other stuff going around.

"Posted Image" is my favorite comic! Seriously. I would have read more, but I didn't even think it was particularly well written.

 

 

 

Back on an edit...

Oh, now the picture is up!

Great. I'm going to be depressed for a couple hours now. Oh well great story. Not as sad as Rusty's Quest though.

Rusty's Quest seriously had me depressed for an entire day, and a little after that too. You know hard it is to be at football practice and be depressed over a story that no one else can relate to?

I know that feel bro. For me, I was bored on day and had seen some people reference MLD on MLP clips on YouTube. I'd read Cupcakes a little while prior to this, so I didn't know what to think. I read the story but I didn't cry...on the outside anyway. On the inside, however, saddest I've ever been. Right after reading the story (and a few moments of mentally debating with myself), I started watching the show, starting at Season 1 Episode 1, and I can't remember how many episodes I watched. Overall, the story was excellent and, without it, I might not have even watched the show. So huge thanks to ROBCakeran53 for making me who I am today!

 

On a side note, as a sort of tradition, I plan to re-read the story each year to celebrate the day I became a brony. It's just my way of celebrating, although I do want to see if I'll cry this time. Also, I think that day will be a day I can really reflect on the past year and everything that's been accomplished in it. Here's a brohoof to all my fellow bronies! /)

I read it, and there were no tears, but a sense of sadness lingered for days on end.

Then, i read two sequels, and i was happy again.

 

[PonyEcho 1,610]

well the first time i read did my thoughts were 'meh not bad......' then i gave it a second read to kinda analyse it because i like to review things and notice it kinda sucked mainly because it fell like their was a lack of creativity near the end and the Celestia and Mane 6 Cameo cheapen the story, and the beginning and the end are the same 'oh i'm sad i'll go for a walk' along with some other issues.

[Redthir 42]

I was hugely impressed by the story, personally. Maybe it's just because I'm a Rainbow Dash fan, but nonetheless I felt that it was incredibly well written - and I was consistantly shedding tears.

 

Putting aside the fact that RD is my favourite character, choosing her added so much meaning. A young man who has little to live for, in a decaying world where nothing is good and all borders on oppressive. Rainbow Dash to me is a symbol of freedom, with her "There's nothing I can't do" type attitude, and of course her supreme flying skills to roam wherever she pleases.

 

I hope my post makes sense.

MLD was the first fiction I ever read, but not the best. All though I did cry while reading it and I enjoyed the story and writing, there are better fictions out there. Want a sad yet beautiful fiction? Go read Yours Truly by Thanqoi. Possibly the best written, most beautiful story I've ever read. It made me cry and feel emotions for the characters I had never felt before.

[Vanguard 123]

I loved MLD it was my first fan fic i had ever read, and i'm glad it was, i'm not an emotional person especially on fictional thing and it actually made me cry a little (the first fictional story ever to do that) it is one of my favourates right next to University Days.

[Cherry Blossom 864]

I really did cry a bit, but I easily tear up a lot anyway. The story was truly sad in my opinion, but I did like how the concept worked. Though I keep wondering what would happen if it was a different pony.

[Jokuc 8,173]

Felt like formal. That fanfic is waaaaaay overrated. Seriously. It's not as sad as people say it is.

And the people who says you're not a true brony if you not think that is sad, wtf guys? Let people have their own opinion. It wasn't that sad imo.
