I'm crying like a little bitch. ;~;
ReplyDeleteWell god damn my heart.
ReplyDeleteI put off reading this for far, far too long.
PREPARE YOURSELF FOR THE SADS...THEY WILL COME!
ReplyDeleteWhy...?
ReplyDeleteWHY!?
WHYYYYYYYY?!?! T__________T
WHY?...
ReplyDeleteWHY?!??!
WHYYYYY T_T!!!?
i cryed more than at the end of the green mile. this is the best thing i have ever read.
ReplyDeleteBy far, one of the best FanFics in existence. This was one of the first I read and it will stay with me forever.
ReplyDeleteThe combining of two different worlds, both to which we can relate in a manner of speaking, could not have done more beautifully than here.
The highest of praise and ratings for this amazing and inspiring piece of literature.
I'm finally going to read this tonight.. I hope I don't get DEPRESSED sad, like some sad ships make me, and I just break down crying instead.
ReplyDeleteMan I'm a 17 yr old guy and this was a hard story to read. You put enough emotion into something and it can make you feel sad or on the verge of tears in school while reading it when the teacher isn't paying attention.
ReplyDeleteDamn.
ReplyDeleteEveryone who didnt feel the intense emotion of this fan fic, should be considered emotionless.
You don't have to cry, but this...Is a masterpiece.
You sir, deserve...Everything. Write a book, do stuff. Dont just sit there.
Comeon, stop readin' my shitty comment and get to bekome Tolkien 2.0 Dude!
P.S: I cried alot. This was awesome.
THE TEARS, THEY WONT STOP ;-;
ReplyDeleteBy the way, making it more sad is actually very easy. Make sure not to pause reading, and put on a very sad instrumental song in the background (Dead island theme for example) and then read it.
ReplyDeleteDont eat or do stuff else, make sure you don't want to clop for around 3 weeks.
And last but not least, let yourself get sucked up by the emotion.
What can I say about this except it's simply awesome ?
ReplyDeleteI haven't cried for years but this fanfic made me release a huge flow of tears.
I'm a man and I assume it wasn't manly tears.
Thank you,ROBCakeran53.Thank you for giving us such an amazing story
omg this is the first time I have ever cried after reading a story but it truly is amazing so thank you
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I first read this.. So, I just wanted to come back and leave a comment saying how much I loved reading this wonderful story. Just looking at the picture above makes me want to tear up again! Rob, you are amazingly talented, man. Don't stop writing. Peace. :)
ReplyDeleteThis is....amazing fanfic! Today was my second time when I has read My little Dashie... And I cried just like my first time when I read Dashie.
ReplyDeleteAnd not only manly tears were shed. It was like Niagara falls has came out of my eyes :D. This fancfic change persons truly :) and that change is fully positive change.
This fic has puryfied me. That's true I feel like something old and bad has vanished. And now everything is better!
Thanks to Ponies and Bronyism! Let's keep our flag high!
Really late to the party but I read this after noticing all the hubub about it and it was wonderful.
ReplyDeleteIt was a really tricky thing to keep it from being too saccharine or weird (the crossover element) but the author pulled it off brilliantly.
I love that not only is this a good fanfic, but it's become a part of the Brony pop culture as well.
I cried so hard.
ReplyDeleteThis is Epic.
ReplyDeleteim the only one who didint cry with this story???
ReplyDeleteI've heard that this story was rather sad. WOW did that hit me hard. While is was in the middle of the library at school. That was amazing
ReplyDeleteDude this is amazing.....
ReplyDeleteI-I actually cried.....shit....
Like I've never cried reading many stories....Bittersweet, Pretty In Pink, Past Sins, I read them all fine. This is unrivaled beauty. Insurmountable work of art. You have earned my infinite respect. This story was enlightening, saddening, but also smile-inducing, and perfect. I cherished every sentence, paragraph, and quote. I don't know what to say, because I'd be repeating myself from here on out. You have a gift, ROB. One I have strived for myself. Congratulations.
How did I not read this until now...?
ReplyDeleteThis >is< 20% cooler.
ReplyDeleteI have a new outlook on life.
ReplyDeletebe it for myself.
no, but for my little Dashie.
I have not cried in any situation in 3 months... I wonder if the author had sobbed as the rest of us.
I have never cried reading any story before *except the novel call of the wild* But oh man did i shed so many tears reading this story especially at the end.
ReplyDeleteIt's been awhile since I've cried. This was just beautiful!! Glad I finally got around to reading it
ReplyDeleteSniffle...
ReplyDeleteim crying so bucking hard....ive many pics based off of this and decided to read it and im happy i did
ReplyDeleteso sad, brings a tear to my derpy eyes.. 6_9
ReplyDeleteI don't know what compelled me to dig this from my long list of stories.
ReplyDeleteMaybe it was my Dash fanism or something else but I re-read this story and was surprised at how I came out.
I still cried but found something strange had happend. I knew the build up and sadness but near the end I cried for joy at the time they had.
It was odd but I felt like it was needed.
I will say it came in handy not long ago, just to be happy about the better times instead of the lonly miss left.
Just to say I still love this story
this is amazing. it made me cry alot... just wow
ReplyDeleteI swore to myself that I would never read this. I knew the general synopsis going in. I swore I wouldn't cry if I did read it. I can't honestly tell you why I chose to read it today.
ReplyDeleteFor a long time all I ever wanted was a real lightsaber, which might exist someday. But now all I want is my own little Dashie. Which I know I will never ever have.
(Sobs)
Tears just came out of my face :(
ReplyDeleteThere were parts of this story that reminded me of when we first brought my daughter home.
ReplyDeleteShe used to lie on my stomach and go to sleep while I played video games and smiled down at her.
Now I get to watch MLP with her.
Bravo good sir. A beautiful story.
Many a tear was shed.
<3
To think... I didn't even cry at my great grandfather's funeral (we were very close)... But this made me cry so much that I couldn't sleep for the next 5 hours after reading it... :'(
ReplyDeleteFirst of all, I was inspired to read this from a post I saw last night.
ReplyDeleteI must say, this story tugged at my emotions in a that only a few works ever have. I can emphasize with the lead character so much, and that ending. Wow.
While I didn't cry, the tightness in my chest and the itchiness of my eyes meant I wasn't too far from it.
I'm impressed, for this story certainly did live up to it's hype.
that was a truly beautiful story in all aspect. The first story to ever make me cry as well
ReplyDelete!
A well written story
ReplyDeleteOk, wow. this is goooood
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely awesome story! It was as if I was the dad,living these moments. This was the first time I cried like this reading a story (just so you know it's not my native language)
ReplyDeleteIn short, it was an awesome moving story and I'll keep it dear in my heart!
Dear Keyboard,
ReplyDeleteWhy are you wet? It can't possibly because of my manly tears. I'm sorry if it's my fault. Technically, it isn't. Blame 'My little Dashie' if you're looking for someone to blame.
Sincerely,
Every brony
Dear Keyboard,
ReplyDeleteI apologize if you are wet because of the manly tears I shed while reading 'My little Dashie'. It felt good to know that I am at still at least human after all the stuff we've been through. This is by far the most touching thing I have ever read with you. The most disturbing would be Cupcakes, and to unsee Cupcakes, I would read 'My little Dashie'. Instead of gore and violence, I would feel sadness and love towards young Dashie. Thank you for putting up with me.
Sincerely,
All bronies
I'm 15 years old and a guy, and this is the hardest I've cried since my grandpa almost died...
ReplyDeletei am 25 years old man, and this is the third time i can recall crying... this is the first fanfic i read but be assured its not the last.
ReplyDeleteThx for the awesome heart touching story
|T-T| /)
Before I read this, I wasn't sure I could even feel anymore. I had been dealing with full-blown depression... the kind you need medication for. Most of the time, my laughter felt hollow, my smiles were fake, and no matter how hard I'd try, tears didn't come.
ReplyDeleteI had to force myself NOT to cry just so I could finish the story, and by the time I got to the end, I just couldn't keep the tears and the sobs back anymore. Yes, this is a heart-wrenching story, and one I probably won't read terribly often. But I'm deeply glad that I read this. This is one of the best pieces of fiction I've ever read.
After I finished it, I felt more alive than I had in a long time. For this, you have my sincerest gratitude.
In many years i haven't cryed but today i cried more then i ever have done in my whole life, because i am just like him in the beginning where life is a routine and i allways have this feeling of something missing in my life. Best story i ever read 10/10
ReplyDeleteI... have never cried from reading a story... never cried since a child in general... this... this made me cry... and I regret nothing.
ReplyDeleteI cried both times I read it. I'll probably read it a lot more than that too. Thanks for writing such an amazing story. You have touched a lot of people and I hope to see some other work from you in the future. hopefully a sequel or related story.
ReplyDeleteBest Wishes,
Nivek1993
Dohohoho.
ReplyDeleteI don't get what's so sad about it.
That or I am a soulless husk of a man.
Oh sweet Jesus, I've just had a brainwave:
ReplyDeleteSomeone has to get Ashleigh Ball to read this letter at the next Bronycon.
SPRED THE WORD BRONIES! MAKE THIS HAPPEN!
Must... stop... crying...
ReplyDeleteMission failed.
I-I don't think there's a word that describes this story... this is just amazing...
Thank you for writing this beautiful fic...
I almost punched a hole in my computer screen at the end. WHY MUST IT BE SO DAMN SAD?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI almost punched a hole in my computer screen at the end. WHY MUST IT BE SO DAMN SAD?!?!?!
ReplyDeleteI haven't cried in about half a year, then I read this. Beautiful.
ReplyDeleteseriously The last time I cried was at the end of The Elephant Man with John Hurt, but this is sadder. Fuck Titanic.
ReplyDeleteI just read My Little Dashie, and though it tugged at my heartstrings, I did not cry. The only time I have ever cried while reading was while I was arond 5 to 7 years old. I have come close to crying many times, but I did not cry while reading this amazing story.
ReplyDeletePlease kill me now, for I have no heart.
I didn't cry in my grandfather funeral and i cried to Mt little dashie like a little girl...shit and now i can't stop seeing the sonic rainboom episode and the MLD's stuff...i'm crying again now.Shit!
ReplyDeleteThis was the First book that made me cry...... Congradulations why do i have to like RD so much that she made me cry when something bad happened. its been 3 days since i read the book and im still sad and crying.
ReplyDeleteStillCrying....
ReplyDeleteAwww man. I want to go and watch funny videos and laugh but this story made it so hard to stop feeling sad I am going to have a difficult time recovering. I feel lonely. I want to just feel sad and lie in my bed all day. Bravo to the author. Proud of you.
ReplyDeleteThis is the Editor. Fuck you all. Go read something by H.G.Wells.
ReplyDeleteThere has only been one book ever that made me cry, and that was The Last Dog on Earth. And now this
ReplyDeleteI'm a Rainbow Dash fan myself. I like all the others, but I can't help having 20% extra love for Dashie.
ReplyDeleteWhat makes it all the more meaningful to me is that Rainbow Dash's character has strong connotations of freedom in my eyes. Rainbow Dash is not fearless, but rarely lets her fears get in the way. She believes in herself, and that there's nothing she can't achieve, and is an adrenaline junkie. She's a rebel in her own right, who doesn't believe in limits. (That's my interpretation of the character)
If it was Fluttershy, Twilight Sparkle, Rarity or Applejack it just wouldn't have the same meaning. Pinkie Pie could potentially have worked, but I'm disputing that in my own head.
ReplyDeleteI should be crying, I should feel horrible.
I now sit alone in my empty room, staring at this story with a smile plastered on my face; every time I see it.
I am still happy for the time I had with this story.
Somehow i have exact the same strong feeling like written down by ROBCakeran53.
Thank you. You made my day BRIGHT!
I had to put this story down and cry a little. This story was so beautiful, albeit extremely sad.
ReplyDeleteI still get chills whenever I hear or see the name "Dashie."
I should had not read this during class... if I were to shed more tears...
ReplyDeleteAmazing! I'm now unable to cry much anymore after this. Loved it.
ReplyDeleteI cant cry as much as I used to after seeing this, it was a very good, yet very sad story.
ReplyDeleteVery beautiful first story I every cried to, I first read this in march 2011 and still to this day it gives me chills, im proud to b a brony
ReplyDeleteoops ^^ I ment march 2012 srry lol

@Bloomberg
ReplyDeleteYou know what I thank you for posting that cause it is true. I cried everytime dashie or her dad said love at the end
i joined this fandom and discovered the amazingness far too late..
ReplyDeleteI've just read this and wow ... this is a masterpiece. I've read a lot of books but this story is the only one that made me feel sad. I almost cried (not one story has ever accomplished this)
ReplyDeleteIf you ever read this:
Thank you, thank you for this masterpiece. You wrote something that touched me in the deepest of my heart. You wrote something that made me feel sad and happy at the same time. You wrote something ... that will be a part of me for the rest of my life.
** ooow fuck, now i'm crying too **
This really hit my heartstrings D';
