Pills for President 2016

Oh yeahh, I meant to take that part out because I had written it in as a joke the first time I wrote it way back in November 2013

Sometimes I worry I get too harsh about that stuff...I'm not really in a good place right now, though, and I certainly didn't appreciate *that* being one of the ways starting off an already bleak day

Morning, fan club. Not feeling too good today...however, I did just write a novel in the "Why do people hate Rarity?" thread, if anyone's interested in checking that out. I saw that and I rather liked it I think you should give it another go sometime.

It's very disconcerting to see you call yourself an "Analyst" and make YT videos and then see you go around blaming Rarity and villainizing her for horribly trivial matters. I think you need to sit down and think about her character for a while, because you seem really intent on seeing the bad in her, which is a toxic mindset. For the most part, Sunny said a lot of what I was going to say, but I'll just fill in a few things I was going to say and he didn't. 4. Don't forget that she had just done a whole bunch of things she didn't want to do in that race, which involved hiding in *mud* and running an entire race across that dirty old farm. As a matter of fact, that happened right before she said the spa line, but you don't seem to be taking any of that into account. 5. And what was that, might I ask? What exactly was she doing behind her friends back that was so evil? Making new friends? Living out her dream? All I saw her do wrong was the whole letter thing. It was said earlier in the episode that Rarity offered to make her the dress, and Twilight wasn't paying nor asking for it, so I don't see why you're going to be upset about that -especially considering she liked the final product. Other than that, you didn't list anything specific. If you were an analyst, you wouldn't be criticizing these characters and providing no evidence You're just assuming we all know what you're talking about and view Rarity as acting horribly evil in that episode...but really, all I saw her do *wrong* was lie to her friends in that letter You're making it sound like she committed genocide, which is why I find it dangerous to have you around as an analyst after readomg this. Tptal objectivity may not be able to be achieved, but if you're going to market yourself on YouTube you should at least try not to be so bias. You seem to have no interest in that, unfortunately, which is scary. I'm no analyst, but I know enough about the show to know what you're saying is attempting to deconstruct a character rather than provide objective criticisms. Frightening, honestly 6. MA Larson, the writer of this episode, said it himself - that didn't even happen. It was Spike just Ogling over her. Here's what he said: I'm no analyst, but you've got a lot of kinks to work out in your assessment of the series, kid. Especially since, in that same episode, she was kidnapped by a dragon who'd easily be able to kill her and she still wouldn't give him ththe ruby because "her dear friend Spike gave it to her" I'm really thinking that you should go meditate on not only Rarity's character and motivations, but the meaning of the show itself. Being an analyst and being so quick to demonize one character while excusing two other characters who did the exact same thing, like you did when discussing Rarity in MMMystery, really makes me question your skill as an analyst but is also wanting me to tell people to stay away from your channel because you're trying to lead them astray from what REALLY happened. You really need to pay attention to the show more and stop being so brutally bias against Rarity's character That'll only hurt you in the long run. I have a feeling me and you are going to be seeing each other a lot. Anyway, just because you never directly said anything about it doesn't mean it's not true. It's really hard to see it any other way, actually, with the criticisms you provided us of her character. As in, I don't believe you when you say what I just quoted hard to believe. If you didn't expect perfection, WHY are you criticizing her for these things you're criticizing her for? Most of them are very silly, trivial, minor, AND can be disproved with surrounding circumstances, and only a couple of them, if only one, serves as a valid criticism because it's not so...nitpicky. I don't really care when someone nitpicks the show, but you're just nitpicking a character to make her look bad That's...kind of underhanded and uncool, to be honest. Not really. I actually had to sit and think to try and figure out what you were trying to say here...as in, what the criticism was. I spent like, 10 minutes rerunning everything that happened in that episode through my head, and, like pretty much everything else you criticized her for, it was only stuff you were blowing way out of proportion to make her look worse than she really is And yet you tried to use it to make her look like a total bitch I can't really say I'm buying this, man. Was it wrong of her? Yes. Did it help provide her character with development, maintain a sense of realism in the episode, and did she make up for her wrongs in ways that outweighed the initial wrongs? Yes, yes, and yes. I'm scratching my head at all of this...it really seems like the first post was TRYING to make her look bad while the second post was just a bunch of backpedaling in case someone like me or Sunny came along. That's what it seems like to me. S01E01: Friendship is Magic Gives Twilight a free makeover after Rainbow Dash messed up her mane.

From Vocabulary.com: Generosity is a quality that's a lot like unselfishness — someone showing generosity is happy to give to or share time, money, food, or whatever with others. Generosity is a quality — like honesty and patience — that we all probably wish we had more of. When you show generosity, you might give away things or money or put others before yourself. But generosity is about more than cash and stuff. When you're forgiving and gentle to people, you show generosity of spirit. If you give others help or credit, that shows generosity. The world would certainly be a better place if more people showed generosity to others. Like it or not, not every one of the ponies lives up to their element all the time. Like, you can actually see that here: You're acting like none of the other ponies have their moments, and you're dead-set on crippling her with small, minor nitpicks that are not "outweighed" by her acts of generosity but flat out crushed. You failed to acknowledge most of these things in your criticisms of her character. Why is that? You're an analyst, you know

Anyway, I think it's time for me to head off and face tomorrow Have some fanart before I go Night, fan club.

....guys, this picture almost gave me a heart attack

Looks like Kaliptro to me, which isn't a member of MLPF They've got one of THE most unique and recognizable styles out there. Hard to miss I'll have to show you some of their work with Rarebear in the RFC sometime Wonderful artist Speaking of famous fandom artists...

This needs to get fixed soon I predict a HUGE swing in activity when it does happen But for now, I'll just keep uploading attachments

Saddest part? We've been hella slow the last couple of days due to the image problems the site has been having Ah well Have some Rarity

Rarity knows Applejack so well Isn't friendship magic?

But I live in nowhereville, USA and I have 50 people in my graduating class I think the nearest Build a Bear is a 2 hour drive, and I don't have a vehicle

Nothing helps me as much as looking at Rarity when I feel sad...today wasn't a great day and it continued after I got home, but just looking at pictures of her makes it so much better I try to stop myself from being to open about it when I'm upset because I'm really, really bad at controlling my emotions...but Rarity has really helped me with that and I love her dearly for it She's done so much for me in my life...I really don't know how to word it without praising her to the point where it seems like glorification She's so wonderful... Also...wonder if this is a reference to something

This fandom has hurt me in a lot of ways, and it led to a lot of bitterness in me. I talked it out with a good friend who always offers me good, yet honest, advice, and he told me I had become like this trope. After I took time off and did some self-reflecting, I realized he was right. I do still dislike the fandom to an extent. I've made great friends in this fandom - the best friends I've ever had. Even with all of the charity work and whatnot, though, I can't really help but remember my violent induction into the fandom and how that's affected me since. Bullying leaves a lasting impact that isn't positive, and this fandom targeted me with it for a few months. It's not good feeling alone, feeling like no one wants you and that you'd be better off gone, yet I endured that and yet I'm still here. Glad I am, too, but it's not something I'm willing to just put aside. Even with all of that, though, I don't care about the Brony fandom. What I do care about is the wonderful friends I've made in it - the ones I can't wait to talk to every day, and the ones who treat me like I'm a person and an equal. I love that and I wouldn't ask for better friends in the world, and I've met every single one of them through this fandom

Well, yeahh. I ended up liking the episode, though, and I even pushed for an emote Obsidian made of IM Rarity to become official and have use pictures and .gifs of her several times. It did what NMR didn't do with me, and that's actually evoke the right emotions at the right times and made me feel despair and wanting her to get better rather than awkward and uncomfortable. It did that and it was pretty fun to be on the edge of my seat, so I enjoyed it in the end Kind of like why some people like horror movies. I found it to be thrilling at the end. Also, I wouldn't remind people she was possessed if people weren't do dead-set on criticizing her It's not a good feeling to see the thing you love most constantly attacked. It's pretty painful and cuts deep with me, but that's been obvious from the get-go. Can't really expect me to be able to recall *everyone* I saw criticize it. I've seen more hate than love for it. I never said I didn't see love for it It wouldn't be impossible to write a good story about the nightmare forced without mentioning Luna, but it'd definitely be an uphill battle, I'll give you that. I'll just let Nuke speak for me, he said my opinion on the Luna thing very nicely

I've also said that, which means that I've gone about by what I've seen given I've never seen an official poll of opinions on it If there is one, I haven't seen it. Which is essentially what I did. And I didn't like it. I've shared what I thought about it extensively in this thread, and I've been stating this whole time why I thought it isn't a good entry point into the series - I'm not trying to dicatate other people's choices and opinions on the matter, simply stating why I think it'd be a bad idea to start there and why I think it's a bad arc, so I'd appreciate it if you didn't accuse me of such Bahh. I was still quoting you .-.
