#013 - Twilight

I didn’t mean to start a debate, but since we’re at it . . . .

Starlight was a broken and lonely pony. She didn’t want to be alone, and she hurt people in an obscene way to achieve that. Obviously, the things that she did was terrifying and I also think her redemption was rushed (discords redemption arc is the only one I truly adore in FiM) but after her initial redemption she struggles to fit in and cope with how terrible she was to ponies. We see how her horrible actions hurt her later in life as well. Chancellor Neigh Say literally flipped like a switch (I have only finished season 8, so if his redemption is more fleshed out in season 9 I may backtrack this opinion, but don’t give me any spoilers). He went from extremely racist and hell bent on destroying Twilight and everything she has built, and one incident toppled him on his head and turned him into a good guy without any repercussions for the things he did and said and how he treated literal CHILDREN. Do y’all realize that? He chained up innocent CHILDREN. He doesn’t deserve a redemption arc because his only justification for his horrible treatment of non-pony creatures was simply that. Because they were non-ponies.

If a character has such violently hateful opinions of other species and his entire personality was written around him being a pony supremicist, then no, I don’t think he deserves a redemption arc. No one changes that easily, especially on that kind of opinion. If it was taken more slowly and dug a little deeper into his rooted dislike for other creatures, I could give him a chance. But not with the knowledge I currently have of him. But again, I’ve only seen up until season 8, so any actions he may take in season 9 could very well change this opinion.

I just finished season 8 of FiM.

Chancellor Neigh Say shouldn't have been redeemed.

I have finished Friendship is Magic. I don’t think I will ever be the same. Horses bro.

Trixie best gorl >:3 love a character whos not only wizard coded but fully and unapologetically annoying as fuck 💙💜

Sunset Shimmer was literally terrified by this, because she was originally a pony 😭 Earlier in the short Applejack said “I tried to ask sunset to do this with me, but she just… wasn’t into it”.

Girlie was struggling

Equestria Girls: Choose Your Own Ending, Season 2 “Costume Conundrum”.

When Sci-Twi sang "If I can stay with the light, I know I'll be free. I can start to be whole, I can start to be me.

But instead, I am struggling with all that I've seen. And these friends mustn't see the Midnight in me"

ITS AN ALLEGORY FOR MENTAL HEALTH AND NOT REACHING OUT FOR HELP BECAUSE YOU'RE SCARED OF BEING A BURDEN

I don't know why it took me so long to get that. This is from the Equestria Girls movie Legend of Everfree.

Character Spotlight: Dream Drifter

Art commissioned from the amazing @hellspawnsparks!

Dream Drifter isn't one of the main characters, but she's definitely got a role to play. On the outside, she doesn't seem all that powerful, just weird; she lives on her own out in the middle of nowhere, is a bit of a hippie, and regularly zones out of any conversation. She spends most of her time sleeping, as well. Only her special cutie mark, which cascades down her leg, belies her true potential.

You see, while she sleeps, Dream Drifter can visit a special "dream world" that lets her enter the dreams of anyone. Any creature who dreams can have their dreams entered, and no spell can block it. What a being dreams about, combined with how they feel about the dreams, can really tell you something about their character...

Furthermore, Dream Drifter can alter a dream at will once she enters it. She primarily uses this power to get rid of nightmares, especially in children. This power can be used for other things, too, such as sending messages.

However, Dream Drifter is very much a neutral party. She's nice to those she meets, but her refusal to work for a cause can be quite irritating to some. She also refuses to denounce anyone as evil, instead telling everypony to look at things from an outsider's perspective. She's very empathetic and an avowed pacifist. If someone antagonizes her, whether in the physical world or the dream world, she will simply leave. She doesn't see the dream world as any less real than the physical world, and in fact, she thinks that if any world were "real", it would be the dream world, since it exposes the true thoughts and natures of everyone, and everyone are equals there.
