Twisting Canon

This is something that has always bugged me, and I'm going to blog about it, because #YOLO.

 

rarity___snobbish_by_ocarina0ftimelord-d5lcja2.pngNow, there's this thing called "canon."

 

It's a beautiful little thing, m8; it's the cold, hard, facts of the show that sometimes fucks up what we want to happen, but in the end, is generally for the best of the show; not always, but usually.

 

Now, the ponies (barring the background ponies, naturally) have canon personalities.

 

But NOTHING irritates me as much as when someone tries to blur the line between canon and headcanon to make one look like a total bitch.

 

Like, take Celestia;

 

"OMG SHE BANISHED LUNA TO THE MOON 4 1000 YEARS!!!!!!!!!!!1"

 

Because, you know, Luna didn't want to cast eternal doom on Equestria because ponies slept at night and generally ignored it, when they basked and played in her older sister's sun.

 

Definitely didn't deserve it.

luna_and_rarity_by_pantera000-d5xxqgr.pngNow, is Luna a bad pony? No; she was a villain as NMM, but as Princess Luna, she's a total badass, and best princess.

 

Celestia was literally trying to protect a whole country, but, you know, she sent her sister to the moon. So she's a tyrant.

 

Oh, and here's my biggest pet peeve: Spike Abuse.

 

Fucking Spike Abuse.

 

spike_and_swooning_rarity_by_stabzor-d4o4qmv.pngAlright, lemme begin by saying "Abuse" is MUCH too strong of a word.

 

While, admittedly, Rarity could stand to improve her treatment of Spike, they all have flaws that they need to work on. All of them. None of the mane 6 are flawless.

 

But ABUSE?!?!

 

First off; Spike volunteers himself and subjects himself to helping her. I DO NOT see too many people getting "abused" with a smile on their face, unless they're...um, into that, and I don't think Spike is, nor do I think he even knows what that is :okiedokielokie:

 

Second off, all Spike does is carry Rarity's large amount of luggage and follows her around whenever she's doing something important and needs help.

 

You have to be fucking kidding me if you call that "abuse." But people do.

 

By this logic, when your parents make/made you carry in all the groceries, that's abuse. Totally abusive.

 

Name one time she did something with the intent to physically or emotionally abuse Spike (and if you do, be prepared to have it discredited.)

 

Last, but not least, the thing that pisses me off most is the pseudo-intellectual aspect of it; people call "SPIKE ABUSE" whenever he steps into a bucket and trips, but NEVER say anything else about Spike.

 

Never.

 

I mean, you're kidding me. People calling "Spike abuse" is my biggest pet peeve, because of the sheer lack of understanding, slander that comes with it, not knowing what real "abuse" is, and, of course...

 

It's twisting canon to match what THEY want to see, not what is actually true.

 

Essentially, all people are doing is twisting what actually happens.

 

Spike abuse. God, please help this atheist.

 

Now, different interpretations are magic; but there's so many false words being slung around, and it makes the poniez look bad, when the majority of the ones being made look bad are NOT bad.

 

Now, I get that we, as humans, live vicariously through negativity, but come on.

 

Analyzing is good, but some of this shit is just...wow. Untrue.

 

And, honestly, it makes it look like people don't seem to understand what happens in the show.

 

Alright. Rant over.

Spike "Abuse" is bullshit, and Tyrant Celestia is horsecrap.

 

I'm a good noodle.

 

~End Rant~

The thing about Rarity is that she, along with plenty of other characters in the show, has her own unique personality. Her personality is fleshed out to the point where she has her own life-like psyche, complete with both strengths and weaknesses. In other words, she's a well-written character. The downside to that is some people get the wrong idea about her and misinterpret her flaws as "wow, she's a straight-up bitch" when she really isn't. She's not perfect. She has a soft spot for Spike and everyone knows it. Granted, she doesn't really consider his feelings when she makes decisions every now and then, but as I stated before, she isn't perfect. There's definitely no abuse going on here.

That's essentially just a paraphrase of everything I said :D

 

This is why I love you, Rocky :wub:

 

I will have your children any day of the week, including Wednesdays.

Don't even get me started on the "she's a bad sister" bullshit. Anyone who makes that claim is either an only child, or had a disgustingly abnormal "sunshine and rainbows" relationship with all of their siblings. Every relationship - whether romantic, familial, or simply platonic - has its ups and downs. Every family, every couple, and every pair of friends has its arguments. The occasional bickering between Rarity and Sweetie Belle is only natural, and those who refuse to realize this are clearly living in Lala Land.

Lol... Agreed... Celestia is no tyrant (just every stallions in equestrians wet dream)

Rarity does not abuse spike, but does use his crush as leverage sometimes, but he's ok with that.

Rarity is not a bad sister.... She's a normal sister.
