My Little Dashie

[Victoria and Co. 782]

You know, I might be alone here but, I was actually happy at the end of the story.

Now, hear me out before you call me heartless or something.

The mane character himself was happy at the end, he had lived a good life and still had plenty time ahead of him. He got to spend fifteen years with RD and even if she had never returned home, she would have left for other reasons, good or bad.

He went from being a sad sap to a cheery fellow, he was better of in life at the end in general. He made more bits, he had a better house, etc.

To me, the story had a happy ending since they both lived good lives and had fun together. They formed a bond that would span dimensions as father and daughter.

I'll admit I did tear up a bit at first, but I slowly realized that everything changes and this would probably be for the best.

I didn't cry about My Little Dashie. I admit it was a well written story, but I felt like it was forcing the reader to feel sorry for the guy. I'll explaing myself in the spoiler.

 

 

All that with his parents, and he being the last one living in his neighborhood, and with a depressing job and all that is just more of the same. The author tries to force the sadness down the reader's throat, and that's a bad move. Sure, it is sad, but I think It's overdoing things.

The rest of the story is original and well written. It didn't make me cry, but it was a good story, nonetheless.

I actually think that's exactly what made it so good. I didn't consider it forcing so much as laying the groundwork for the joy that ensued when he found Dashie. It wasn't about the character at all, it was about making it easier to see the joy that Dashie brought him.

The story was beautiful and touching.

One of the best stories I have ever read.

I cried.

Who ELSE didn't cry at the end of My Little Dashie? Am I the only soulless monster here?

[ZoidbergBestPony 30]

eeyup

[Crispy 5,563]

Guess I'm not totally soulless. The sadfics usually manage to get at least a out of me...

 

But gorefics give me the lulz. So, eh. Halfway there.

[Spider Man 186]

My exact reaction after finishing reading, I guess it just means more to me personally, It's relatable.

[Colon Leftbracket 971]

There's a few here that shared that they didn't cry. Some criticized it as horrible writing.

 

I wouldn't say that's its the best written story, but it still did its job as I got caught in the moment and cried!

[Chickey 383]

I almost cried.

I didn't cry... much.

[Envy 6,144]

I didn't cry. I enjoyed it, and it is actually pretty easy to make me cry so I'm not sure what happened there.

[Fox 5,330]

I haven't seen it, but I'd imagine I'd cry... because I cried in Toy Story 3 when they were about to die...

[Starshine 16,333]

When RD runs away from her home because she saw the MLP cartoon, I cried a teeny weeny bit

But at the ending, I was rather disappointed :/

[NyxTheShield 91]

I did not exactly cry, but by the end i had a lump in my throat and i was almost shedding tears.

[Chigens and Kay 3,832]

I have yet to read a Sadfic that made me shed a single tear. Come at me stories!
