There Are No Perks of Being This Wallflower
Violet Bookish commented on Shrug's blog entry in MLP Reviews
You honestly highlighted all my issues with Wallflower. I've been where she's at but never would I ever think of messing with someone's memories, that's just awful. Another issue I had that you sort of addressed, kind of on the same vein as the special putting the blame on Sunset. but I really don't like the fact the special shames Sunset for being frustrated and mean. There's nothing wrong with being frustrated and upset during stressful situations, it's just a part of being human. Also, they acted like she was in the wrong for being mean to WallFlower when she figured out she was the culprit, but WallFlower deserved that. In fact, I kind of wished the main six gave her a stern talking to rather than being so forgiving. Also, in the special WallFlower made people forget awkward interactions between her in them, saying that was nearly all the interaction she had with others. So, on top of the fact she acted rude toward Sunset, not even giving an effort to reach out, and now this information, she's even more at fault for being unnoticed! Kinda makes it seem more like Sunset was just an innocent target for her rage, like some others said. Anyways, just thought I'd point those things out, but great blog- 6 comments

S07:E20 - A Health of Information
Violet Bookish replied to Dark Qiviut's topic in Season 7 Discussion
That's another thing that personally bothered me. I didn't feel like Twilight put much effort into trying to get Fluttershy to rest. I didn't feel like she put in much effort the first time and just left on a flimsy promise. I kind of just wish we could have seen her put in a little more effort. Then later she basically rolls her eyes at Fluttershy not noticing the door handle. Would have been nice if she had at least tried again to suggest maybe they should stop to rest. The only time I felt like she made a good effort was when Fluttershy was sick and insisting on going to the flash bees, though I am a bit peeved Twilight didn't just go with Fluttershy anyway. Her friend is sick and probably going to fail, she knows this. I feel like Twilight should have been assertive and told Fluttershy she wasn't going to let her go on her own and she can protect herself. I mean, we've seen Twilight make plenty of magical force fields to protect herself, she would have been fine and might have been able to protect Fluttershy. For me, it didn't make it more effective, and in fact, for me, these are the reasons the lesson felt dull to me. I feel I already stated this and more in my previous post, though I still respect the way you personally see the episode. I think this shows another issue I had with the episode. It felt overexaggerated. I've spent my fair share of late nights or just staying up almost all night, yet I've still been able to go to school and do work just fine. And yes, I remembered how to use a door handle. I could accept it if Fluttershy had issues thinking straight or overlooked some details due to her lack of sleep, but forgetting a huge detail like how to open a door seems like a big over exaggeration, especially since at that point she was just tired and not sick yet. I guess it could just depend on the person, but I still would have serious doubts they'd forget how to use a door unless they had gone several days without sleep. Fluttershy only had one sleepless night as far as I'm aware. If she had searched several days I could understand that, but otherwise, it seems like a terrible over-exaggeration. -
S07:E20 - A Health of Information
Violet Bookish replied to Dark Qiviut's topic in Season 7 Discussion
Good point, though I don't feel like we were given enough information about the disease to know for sure if that was truly the reason. That's a good point but I feel like it's not clear if lack of sleep, her disease, or the bee stinging her is what made her faint which ended up getting her knocked out for three days. We also, as I stated before, don't know enough info about the disease to know if her lack of rest is what made her contract it. If these things were explained, I think I would agree with the lesson. But as is, her getting the disease could have just been bad luck and we don't know what was the cause of her fall for sure, since atm we were giving multiple possible causes for this (her sickness, the sting, her lack of sleep). If the episode took time to explain these things I'd be a lot more excepting of the lesson being applied to it. I can agree her getting rest would have helped but there are so many other factors that are thrown in that it's hard to say and everything just got jumbled, at least for me. So yes, she probably would have had enough time to rest and should have, but do we really need all of these elements mixed in for that lesson? Also, how long would it have taken her to find where they needed to go if she did rest? Why couldn't she have just passed out because she was tired, why did the bee sting and disease need to be added in? What would have made it better would be more explanation of these things, or the removal of these unnecessary factors for Fluttershy's inability to work and think properly (which made the whole thing seem a bit exaggerated in my opinion), or just a different scenario. Adding an urgent scenario just really made the lesson fall flat on it's face for me as well. I'm supposed to feel like Fluttershy should have done things better but, instead, I understand why she did all those things and since she solved the issue in the end, I don't feel like a change in action was necessary. I understand her hurry and it's unclear how shorter or longer it would have taken her if she had gotten rest, so I personally don't feel like I can say, "yeah, you should have rested instead of searching for answers.". Why couldn't Zecora just be sick? Why did there have to be a time limit? So, sorry, but for me, it's still just a C+. Not awful but it's still got it's issues. Basically, just decent. -

Violet Bookish replied to Dark Qiviut's topic in Season 7 Discussion
True, but again, the situation was very urgent in this case. I wasn't saying it said they should drop everything their doing nor did I claim it was saying you shouldn't work hard to help others. You misunderstood. There is a big difference between saying something is making a certain claim and simply saying the claim would have worked better if applied to a different scenario. While this one didn't do a terrible job of showing the lesson, using a different scenario would have made the lesson shine a bit more and felt more fitting. Let me explain. I don't think Fluttershy would have gotten the results as quickly as she did if she had gotten rest. Zecora was literally turning into a tree and it seemed like Fluttershy got the remedy right in the nick of time, making me wonder what could have happened if she had spent time resting, and I would argue they would have been too late. Again, good message but would have been a lot more effective if applied to a different scenario, like a friend simply being sick as (An idea I mentioned briefly in my original post) with Fluttershy overworking herself because she tends to put others happiness before herself, which can be a good and bad thing, rather than a disease with a time limit. I get what you're saying, but, again, I felt like this episode's scenario didn't fit that lesson very well and a different scenario would have helped it shine a lot better. -

Royal Wedding or Princess Coronation
Violet Bookish replied to twilightsparkle3562's topic in MLP:FiM Canon Discussion
Actually, is it weird I would have liked to see all the main six become princesses or all of them gain a special role? I know having a bunch of princesses wouldn't be a good thing but I just don't exactly appreciate the fact Twilight sticks out from the group. I just felt like they all were important in their own way so Twilight being given such an honor while the others aren't nearly as well... honored feels... wrong. I've never been a fan of putting one character on a pedestal. The fact she's the main character doesn't help this notion. A lot of main character in shows are made to be something special which isn't always really a good thing, especially when the show focuses on the main six and not just Twilight. I think they should all be unique, yes, but putting one of them in a position higher than the others just doesn't feel right. And yes, I know that there are the stain glass windows and the thrones in Twilight's palace but that's about it. And that's where the issue comes in. The other main six have had issues just like this one, issues were they caused a problem and have to fix it, stressful problems were they needed to be composed to fix it. The only thing that made Twilight's different was Star Swirl's spell, which rubs me the wrong way. It just seemed like a normal two-parter to me and Twilight becoming a princess didn't seem like the proper outcome, it actually felt a bit forced for me tbh. And because of this, I'd have to choose the wedding. Not only did I like the whole concept of the changelings but I found the story of it intriguing, even if I am not the biggest fan of Cadence or Shining Armor. -

@Captain Clark Yep. I just find it a bit too overexaggerated and not interesting. Like, I get were in a magical world with talking ponies but some logic still applies. Are we seriously supposed to believe this actually happened? It felt more like a tall tale to me than a story based off of something that actually occurred. Plus, it's hard to enjoy it when this story happened because Apple Bloom made a mistake and lied because she was embarrassed. It was similar to Apple Jack's story yet Apple Jack did it to sell the juice and Apple Bloom's was because she lost track of what went into which crate. Apple Jack's was premeditated, Apple Bloom's was a simple mistake. I felt like Apple Jack was being way too hard on Apple Bloom tbh.
