Fluttershy really likes that boom boom boom boom.◊

I knew I didn't trust Twilight.◊

Yes! Yes! Yes!◊

AJ wants dat plot.◊

@Ed: She just enlisted. She has yet to be introduced to the horrors of the battlefield.

This whole "RD is Jerk Ass" is also kind of off base.

I counted, she was a jerk in 2 episodes ("The Last Round-Up" and "Dragon Quest") for sure, and maybe her methods in Mt BPW were off, but she got better.

She wasn't a jerk in "Read It and Weep" don't know why the hell people skip that one and just go straight to "Hurricane Fluttershy". And in the Flim Flam episode she was very sympathetic, why you'd call her a jerk there is mind-boggling.

And then there's MMDW where she was a jerk for a split-second, and I'd honestly say even then that's a real stretch, sort of like being offended by Trixie for doing what a street magician is supposed to do...seriously she got cocky for one moment before The Mane Six went into true Jerkass mode.

Now Pinkie's flanderization accusations, that's actually more credible.

As for Fluttershy, I can kinda understand her reaction in Dragon Quest; her fear of dragons was established early on and it's understandable that going to see hundreds of them might be a bit much for you.

In Magic Duel I can understand her nervousness when sneaking out of the town, but I still think it's a bit weird that she nearly had a nervous breakdown when Twilight levitates the animals, even though she's seen them do things that are way more dangerous without so much as blinking.

In MMDW, she prioritized signing autographs over saving a pony falling from a hot air balloon. I'm pretty sure that qualifies as being a jerkass.

What do you expect them to do? It's two different domains!

See you in a millennium, Trixie

I'd expect them to both save the cookies rather delete them every time I switch back and forth.

Off to bed, need to get up early.

Goodnight!

Night.

I think it was more Law of Disproportionate Response that made it noticable, ie. to RD arguing (and making a decent point), she kicked the crap out of her. I tend to be iffy about Beware the Nice Ones moments since they often to be Rule of Funny moments where the nice characters get away with random acts of sociopathy. Admitedly Fluttershy is better moderated otherwise.

I didn't mind Magic Duel quite as much since the other characters didn't just pretend it didn't happen and tried reasoning with her, so she backstepped.

Goodnight.

Yeah, that's probably part of it as well.

RD wasn't arguing. RD was physically pushing her out the door and she was resisting. I seriously doubt Fluttershy meant to step on her when she made her escape. Heck, she even pushed the window open gently before diving out it.

Different websites can't access each others cookies. That's how it works. It's a security measure. You don't want any random website messing with your Facebook login do you?

Why do I feel like this topic was dead before it was started?

I thought The Last Roundup was more a Smart Ball moment for RD, even if she was more abrasive about it. I kinda liked it shown "sometimes the gentle way won't work" which gave a moment RD's defining aggression wasn't treated as making her misguided for once, especially since one of my problems with RD is that she rarely gets her unique personality traits to come in handy at times.

Super Cider Squeezy is a slightly jerkish moment, she was quick to complain about cider and support the winning side (which I suppose could be considered harmful to her 'loyalty') and while she did come back to AJ's side, she briefly had an Idiot of the Week moment by suggesting resorting to the Flim Flam's method of skipping quality control.

I guess it was more she made a point that Fluttershy hypocritically dragged her to the Butterfly Migration she obviously didn't like. It kind of reminds me of points when people run out of arguments so they just hit or threaten their opponent instead.

Re: domains and cookies

Could they set it up so that one domain automatically redirects to the equivalent page in the other one?

@Psi 001: The Last Roundup seems like a rather dubious Smart Ball moment since it ultimately did not work, and arguably made things worse.

I never said anything about Fluttershy PSI, that's not the issue.

I was mostly talking about how RD and Rarity treated Spike in DQ.

Oh well I suppose any complaints about stuff in MMDW or DQ is void since Williams literally didn't get anything right in those episodes.

RD's method of outright going after AJ and forcing the problem out was what ultimately worked however, since reasoning and bargaining just wasn't fazing her, something RD was even Genre Savvy to at points (she seemed skeptical a Pinkie Promise was going to cut it).

I was talking about it before however.

To be fair, they were remorseful about it, and went straight to watching over him throughout most of the episode. It had a jerkish moment for them but then a big redeemer afterwards.

It took the Corpse Flaw.

That would be the sensible option. But the question is why they're using multiple domains in the first place.

Now we have the users of the Dethroning Moments page rallying to unlock it. Greeeeat. Seriously, will they never be satisfied? Does every single episode have to get an entry before they stop?

@Psi 001: I'm not really sure if I agree with that. The theme for that episode seemed to be that both sides were being pig-headed and approached their problems completely wrong. It just seemed to me that the problem was only solved by a bit of good luck.

I agree it was at best a light redeeming moment for RD, hense maybe why it took till Hurricane Fluttershy for people to think she was back on track.

@Psi Well, RD's principle quality is loyalty, and she's not afraid of butterflies, just bored by them. Fluttershy's reaction is quite understandable.

Maybe, it still seemed a tad too disproportionate for her character though. As said they redeemed her the very next episode anyway (two in one).
