Not until you pointed that out.

Bad anon! No trying to get Sunny to exchange one terrible coping mechanism for an (arguably less terrible) coping mechanism!

Sunnys dad was apart of that hippy culture. Sure he has a stash somewhere…munchies

I would love any sort of story about Misty’s struggles, I really relate to her and her whole verbally abusive parent figure situation. And her trouble getting friends. She’s just a sweet character I relate to. I’d over for her to work through problems and find a happier life

@Background Pony #B564
Sounds good to me - well, not Misty starving, but her role here.

@Jonny Manz
You can consider Misty’s circumstance canon and happening in the background during this story. I put her looking through the window to show that she wishes she had that kind of support, and not a parental figure who was doing terrible things to her.

@Background Pony #B564
Y’know, I had meant to ask you about that, because I was 99% sure it was you - similarity in the art and subject matter were a giveaway. I wanted to be sure, though.

Regardless of the circumstances of how this came about, it is a great story.

@Kicks24Sf
Her lack of a cutie mark I should think.

@Background Pony #D2EB
What’s that?

@vernorexia
I have to admit, I’ve been wanting to make this sort of story for a while now, and when someone brought up Sunny’s thinner-than-the-other-ponies TYT design in a4chan thread, it was finally my chance to do it. If I had a choice, and it wasn’t by chance, I would have probably made this story about Scootaloo, Spike, or Misty. I am actually the anon who made this picture a couple of months prior. I always wanted to tell a story like this. To vent, and to shed light on issues. https://derpibooru.org/images/3012940?q=anonymous+artist%2Cmisty

@Dragonpone
Misty’s body image is probably shitty. I mean we already know she’s insecure about one thing about her body.

@vernorexia
Part II: Anorexic Misty

The ending to that one is a lot less happy.

Misty wants a relationship like theirs. She’s just as anxious and depressed as Sunny is too, but unfortunately Misty has no support

@Background Pony #D2EB
Yeah, I was wondering why she was there - makes sense to me unless/until the artist says otherwise.

@Background Pony #8167
She’s jealous. Opaline probably starves her.

Has anyone else noticed Misty in the window both in this and the previous image?

It took her 5 months to only gain 20 pounds. @Background Pony #1008

At one point I thought Sunny’s disorder would flip and she would become obsessed with gaining weight. That would be bad. But ultimately, being overweight will kill you eventually, while being that level of underweight will just kill you.

Her relationship with somepony else seems to be improving as well.

Cupcakes!!
