Continuing to read Fallout: Equestria. Holy shit! There's a character here I actually like!

And the story seems to have grown a sense of humor...

Fluttershy's episodes are pretty solid, but on the whole I think Rarity's edge them out. Doesn't help that there's an overlap (Green Isn't Your Color). The other thing is that I feel like a lot of her best episodes were carried by other characters; a lot of my affinity "Hurricane Fluttershy" is the result of how Rainbow Dash was handled, and Iron Will pretty much made "Putting Your Hoof Down". Heck, even "A Bird In the Hoof" was largely entertaining because of Philomena.

Not that Fluttershy was badly written in those episodes (she wasn't), but I find she's also not the main draw of the episode either. Basically, the Fluttershy episodes are comparable in quality to the Rarity episodes, but the Rarity episodes are good because of how Rarity is written in them, whereas the draw of the Fluttershy episodes often come from other characters.

This makes sense, though I think that I do like those episodes more for Flutershy than you indicated. RD was very good in Hurricane Fluttershy, but it was Fluttershy who drew me in and I love Iron Will, but Flutterbitch is so funny, yet sad. It may be due to how much Fluttershy and I are alike.

@Pannic: Wow! Who is it?

Caliber. Ghoul "colt" (actually a lot older) who runs a shop in Stable City. Snarky asshole. I like him.

...

He gets killed off, doesn't he?

Fanfiction I hate.

IIRC, everypony in Stable City does.

Life is simple: it has no nontrivial normal subgroups.

Not everypony. Those ghouls are hard to kill and even normal pony can have small chance to survive destruction of Canterlot.

Because he know I'm going to go out in this plane and I'm going to remove one of His creations from His universe.

Fluttershy just isn't much of a focus character, she works much better as a supporting cast. Same with Pinkie. The best Pinkie episode (AFID) actually pretty much had Cranky as the protagonist with Pinkie as antagonist.

Well, I'm sure the next Fluttershy episode will turn things around for her. There is absolutely no possibility of the spotlight being stolen by some other character. You hear that Scootaloo? Stay back. This is Fluttershy's episode.

#326909 Pannic Mon, 7th Jan '13 4:16:43 PM

Well, it seems he either dies or slips quietly into the background text, never to be important again, as is the case with pretty much every character in this story I actually like.

Oh, the thread? Don't worry, it's just dead.

Yes, I am aware of what the episode will contain. That was a joke.

TMPP was better than AFID.

I wasn't to fond of either.

In other news. I love pictures of huge things.

Scootaloo is crying because the guard came to inform her that her parents had died, right?

#326917 Crowfall Mon, 7th Jan '13 4:45:21 PM

Yeah, but in TMPP, Pinkie had to share the spotlight with Pinkie.

I assumed the guard was her dad. Otherwise everyone else in that picture looks like a huge asshole for looking so happy.

Can't Scootaloo have nice things!?

Insert something witty that makes me better than all of you, here.

@Crow: That's what's going on. Story just can't process human emotions and is relying on his heuristics subroutines to make an assumption.

Won't be online for a while due to the holidays. Stay safe, happy and warm!

#326921 Bluespade Mon, 7th Jan '13 4:57:11 PM from Fort Worth, Texas

TMPP was better than AFID.

Even in TMPP Pinkie mostly moped around while Twilight solved the plot, so Pinkie still wasn't the one doing things that episode.

@Scootadad - What stops him from visiting her at least a couple of times a week? It isn't as if Canterlot is that far away.

This I do so that I will not live in regret.

#326923 Crowfall Mon, 7th Jan '13 5:21:42 PM

Maybe he's on assignment in the griffon kingdom or something.

#326924 d Roy Mon, 7th Jan '13 5:22:59 PM from Buffalo, New York

I suppose that is an acceptable explanation.

Scootaloo's parents are mole people, I don't know what you guys are talking about :P
