What kind of parents do you think Pinkie's parents are?

[Sepul-Coloratura 765]

Igneous Rock Pie and Cloudy Quartz; what kind of parents do you think they are? They appear to be very abrupt and cold, but clearly have a good heart. They managed to raise four greatest mares of Equestria, they enthusiastically participated in Pinkie's first party (even it was not like anything they are used to), but before Pinkie's first party, Pinkie was pretty sad and depressed. Each one of the daughters are angry, shy, apathetic, extremely vivacious (at least at the outside and it's important when understanding a character).

What kind of a people, or more specifically; what kind of parents are they? Because I don't know. Any insight or analysis on this?

I would also like to know if there are any other analysis on other mane six's parents and how they influenced their kids as well.

I do know that Fluttershy's family (except Zephyr Breeze) is all shy, while Zephyr is kind of like Pinkie in his family.

Amish parents pretty much! Care more about farm work than anything else and really care about tradition, more so than the Apples do. But they were supportive of Pinkie's decision to find her own purpose outside the farm! So I say they're good parents!

I think Pinkie Pie has a rocky relationship with her parents.

Strict, kind, and very fair. They let Pinkie move out and follow her heart, and accept her back with open hooves on every visit.

I don't think so. Zephyr is nothing but a pushy bully, forcing others to pay his way. It was actually a criminal act when he DESTROYED his father's collection, and then said "Look, I can live here. There's plenty of room now."

I may be biased, since I hate this character and will never watch that episode again.

I think they got too far when making Zephyr a problematic character. If he was just a cocky asshole without causing practical problems (the kind what you just mentioned), and just being simply annoying, he would have been much more better and the whole episode would be better. probably even the best of the season. I would even like him because he was too painfully real. Also his bragging and being overly confident comes from his insecurities and incompetence. But I agree with you. I think he crossed the line when throwing out his father's collection, and also the parents' pathological relationship is responsible of that.

I think Fluttershy's strength and hospitality came from watching and learning her family members' mistakes. She do loves her family, but she didn't wanted to end up having same flaws like them.
