Through Crooked Eyes

by Capulus
An experiment into writing a story from the perspective of Derpy Hooves. Heavily based on personal headcanon. Read with this in mind.

-This is a story written based on my own personal headcanon. Read with this in mind, please, and as usual, I appreciate any and all criticisms-

Your name is Derpy Hooves. You live in Ponyville, with your daughter, Dinky, who you would do just about anything for. Unfortunately, your lives aren’t the best; You work two jobs, a mover and a mailmare, and due to your disability, it makes things difficult.

All your life you have lived with crooked vision, ‘Derped’ eyes as it has come to be known, since as far as you know, you’re the only one to suffer from it. And, while the ponies you know are nice, and do their best to tolerate you, you can always hear them laughing behind your back, or when they think you aren’t there.

But you do it all for your little Dinky, your daughter.

But what if, one day, something happened, to rid you of this curse? You have a few ideas, and with newfound confidence, you might just follow through on them…
