AnimeIsLife 22 September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 One thing about Season 5 that I definitely want to happen is learn about Fluttershy's past. We barely know anything. We know that she was bullied in Cloudsdale for not being a good flier, so she left. We don't know if she has any siblings or even parents or why she isn't that good of a flier. Plus, it seems that Pegasi don't have any siblings, so can Pegasus parents only have one child? This seems very important in character development. 7 "Nothing is permanent, even life.

Time Shield 402 September 28, 2014 Share September 28, 2014 (edited) I doubt pegasi can only have one child. You have to be able to have at least three children in order to increase population. If every couple had two, the best they could do is break even. Having only one child per couple would mean the population would go down with every generation, until the last two have one child who has no one else to have children with. But as to the main topic, yeah, I'd like to see more of Fluttershy's history too.

Slightly off topic so I apologize,not trying to start a argument here, but this is EXACTLY why I am so against the one child policy in China and abortion. Back on topic I doubt pegasus ponies can only have one child. I think we just have not seen the pegasus families and I wish they would tell us more about the pegasus ponies. I would imagine Fluttershy has at least 1 family member. I can also imagine RD having a sibling. It would be interesting if one of the pegasus characters has a younger brother. I would love to see that personally.

Technically she didn't leave because she was bullied. She fell from Cloudsdale during Rainbow Dash's race. We haven't really seen much of Rainbow Dash's family either. Maybe one of Rainbow's parents has a rainbow mane and the other is fast. And I would say one of Fluttershy's parents is soft speaking and the other is very kind.

ShyPie 164 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 I desperately want Fluttershy to get more development. I adored her first time I watched the show, but thinking back on it and re-watching it all and I'm extremely disappointed in the way she's been handled and am losing a bit of love for her. The writers do absolutely nothing with her, she surely has the fewest episodes focused on her out of the mane 6 and when she's not the focus she barely appears or has any lines or does anything at all. I think they really need to try and stretch her character, think outside of the box of her just being shy, it's such a negative defining character trait when you think about it. The focus becomes on her not doing things because of it, instead of creating situations because of the things she does do. I would love to see her family explored. There's no way Fluttershy doesn't have someone in her family that wants to come and see her, but I do have a theory that her family life may be why she's ended up so shy. Her family are actually all the total opposite of her, really loud, maybe argumentative, and so Fluttershy would often find herself without a chance to voice her opinion from a young age, she was drowned out by everypony else. And because her family were quite argumentative she ended up finding solace with non-ponies, the animals, who would listen to her and wouldn't talk over her or shout at her and were appreciative and receptive to her kindness. That's part of the reason she got so carried away in Putting Your Hoof Down because it tapped into something she was so used to seeing as part of her life growing up and she became so scared that she was going to end up like that. Fluttershy really needs for something to happen with her at this point moving forward. I've said that I think putting her into a relationship (preferably with Discord ) could help give at least a bit of temporary development, but in all honesty I don't care what they end up doing with her so long as they just give her something, anything! Please, I do still love my cute little Fluttershy, but the show is wearing that away bit by bit. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
deadprofile 1,122 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 Slightly off topic so I apologize,not trying to start a argument here, but this is EXACTLY why I am so against the one child policy in China and abortion. Once again off the beaten path: This problem is actually playing out currently in China. They are facing the same problem Japan is facing (for different reasons)...Too many older people who becoming unable to work and too few young people to take the jobs to keep the economy stable. It would be interesting to see Fluttershy's family, and to see how they feel about her leaving Cloudsdale for the reasons she did.... @@TheJLeeTeamTechnically she did leave. She first encountered the world on the ground when she fell from Cloudsdale, but in the most practical sense of looking at the situation, the ponies on the surface did not realize she was "gone" until after the race, one of the adults (if not rainbow dash herself) came to get her. She was at flight Camp. Which means she and the other young ponies were in the care of adults (no matter how questionable their negligence is) they would not leave a filly in the situation Fluttershy was in.... She must have decided then and there though to move to the surface and leave Cloudsdale. "In fire iron is born, by fire it is tamed" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And yes I would assume Fluttershy moved to Ponyvile as an adult. 1 My short independent films about physical disability! http://cripvideoproductions.tumblr.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jangocoolguy 433 September 30, 2014 Share September 30, 2014 (edited) 20 bits she's an abused orphan! Sorry, but you don't get to be like her without going through some hard times. Being taunted and teased at school feels like the tip of the iceberg. And I just know Hasabro won't go there. Nor do I want them to...

Hell, I read there's a good amount of virgins between 15 and 40 . No wonder why hentai is so popular Flutty got many episodes of her, but we know so little about her youth. Hell, she's the only one without any relatives shown, I just hope they do something interesting to her once they decide reveal that, like being of an interracial mating, since none of the mane6 are product of interracial mating Edited October 1, 2014 by Zekromic Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moved to Elsewhere 11,331 October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I do at one point want to see Fluttershy's parents since she's the only one we don't know anything about in terms of family. The only thing we know about her past was that she was bullied for not being a good flier. So does that mean her parents live in Cloudsdale? Maybe she regularly visits them.

ManaMinori 4,145 October 1, 2014 Share October 1, 2014 I want to think her sister is Scootaloo, but neither know about each other, from having lived with different parents. Maybe Fluttershy with her mom, and Scoots with her dad, and neither parent told the sibling about the other. 1 Under the Jellicle Moon- a site with cuteness, cat boys, and comic strips / Star Dreams Fanclub Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Maybe her parents divorced and one parent raised her.

Maybe her parents divorced and one parent raised her. Or a bat pony . Anyway, it would give some fresh air about family, most family issues are handled by the Apples, and sometimes by Sweetie and Rarity. Besides, having Flutty comming from an interracial couple would make her more interesting and unique, because that'll leave her conceived as such. Twily's parents, BOTH UNICORNS, Pinkie's parents, BOTH EARTH PONIES, Rarity's parents, BOTH UNICORNS. That leaves AJ, Dashie and Flutty with incomplete or no information about their parents. Is very unlikely that AJ has any non-earth pony parent judging that the Apples are almost exclusively earth ponies (there are some unicorn filies in Apple Family Reunion though ), we know Dashie's dad is a pegasus, and her mother most likely is. But WE KNOW NOTHING WITH FLUTTY, so, that leaves more to the imagination and I hope the interracial theory is partially true when it's shown in the show Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
