Ah, I remember that picture with the text. Tis a good picture. Upvote for you.

There are many simple pleasures in life. This is one of them. :trollestia:

Here's an idea for future anti-Flash Sentry fics. Ponify Full Metal Jacket with Shining as Hartman and Flash as Pyle.

He deserved that.

Why does everyone hate on Flash

#Give Flash a Chance

:facehoof: It's clear none of those smarts rubbed off.

Do you have a sibling, Maxxa? I don't personally, but I've heard that saying things like that is hazardous to your health whether they're drunk or not.

So I wouldn't call it Flash-hating as much as realistic slice-of-life.

That said, Flash Sentry is a one-dimensional character who exists only as a pointless love interest, and stole one-sixth of the fandom's waifu. Retaliation is to be expected.

I only wrote this because seeing the original image inspired me to do so.

It's true that I don't like Flash that much, and that I adore Twilight, but to call this a 'retaliation' is taking things just a wee bit too far.

Damn Flash...

I'm not saying you did, in fact right above that statement I said:

I wouldn't call it Flash-hating as much as realistic slice-of-life.

I was just answering his question by telling him that, given the list of things, retaliation happens.

5810032 What is a waifu

I'll just leave this here.

Here you go, they explain it better than I could.

Author's Note

Obviously Shining Armor and Flash had a rumbustious clop filled night.

"You have been the victim of a rather vicious attack,"

He POd the wrong purple alicorn Princess.

Captain Shining Armour is to be kept at least fifty metres away from any mares, by order of Princess Cadence."

Cadance is nothing but a jealous bitch.

"But always remember the fact that I have the most beautiful mare in Equestria waiting for me at home in our bedroom, and you don't."

I know he's not talking about Cadance. She's not beautiful. She's as much plastic as Schnookie.

"Do you ever regret marrying Princess Cadence?"

Yes. He does.

"Cadence is the most amazing pony who ever lived,"

And yet, they spend zero time together after the wedding. Of course he thinks that.

"'Your sister.'"

Good answer.

5810002 I love Flash Sentry. I hate Cadance.

5810106

...

Either you didn't read the whole thing, you're deliberately ignoring the relevant parts, or you're trolling.

In any of those cases, there's no point in continuing this.

This is...I don't have words for what this is, so I'll express it via eponicons: :rainbowhuh: :derpyderp2: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh: :rainbowlaugh::trollestia::heart:

Yeah... On the WRONG Flash Sentry :facehoof:

Real Mature.

Love and Tolerate unless it Flash Sentry! :D

... You did notice that the people there mirrored the ponies to about a 90% certainty? Cheerilee is a teacher, Celestia is top dog, the CMC ruin everything in an adorable manner, Trixie speaks in third person...

And Flash. Steals. Waifus.:trollestia::derpytongue2:

5812068 Doesn't really change the fact that 'pony' Flash Sentry did nothing.

All hatred for the character stems solely from the actions of the 'human' Flash Sentry. In other words; a pony is being abused for the actions of a human.

5812193

And I'm saying, with a 90% chance, PFS would do to be same thing HFS did.

You've made my week' have a like, fav, and a follow.

Doctor Haywick looked embarassed, and leafed through a few pages on his chart before clearing his throat. "There's one injury I failed to mention, Private Sentry, but before I do, don't get upset. There are many fine medical procedures designed to compensate for this particular injury, and I'm certain that the Equestrian Guard medical plan will pay for a large portion of the cost. I'm really not certain how to break this to you."

He paused and fidgeted with the clipboard some more before Flash put one hoof on the doctor's shoulder. "Go ahead, doc. I can take it."

"Well," said Doctor Haywick, "are you aware of what a gelding is?"

5812836 But since he didn't, he's innocent in my eyes.

I realise this might sound like a backhanded compliment, but this is probably the best Flash Sentry story on FiMFiction. :twilightsmile:

Just one little thing; Shining would be the Prince Consort. A Prince Regent would be if he was the regent of the crystal empire. Which is to say, if Cadence chose not to run it or could not run it, but still remained on the throne and Shining was appointed to run it in her stead.

Prince Consort means that he does not hold the title prince in his own right, and is awarded it on the basis of being married to a princess.

Thanks for clearing that up. I knew I was wrong, but I just couldn't remember the word I was meant to use. :twilightblush:

Fixed now.

5815972 No worries. "Prince Consort" is a relatively rare term, since it only appears historically when someone without any claim to a throne ends up married to a Queen Regnant (reigning under her own right) and the country has laws controlling what titles he gets and specifically preventing king or assigning prince.

Like I said, bit of a rare term. Easy to confuse.

That punchline... I see why Flash is in so much pain. :rainbowlaugh:


I wonder what Twilight would do if she found out about this whole thing.
Edit: I just noticed that I'm like 69. As you can see, the immaturity is strong with this one. :pinkiehappy:

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA. I saw that coming and I still loved it.:rainbowlaugh:

poor flash Sentry lol
I don't know why some people dislike him so much, i'm not saying you hate him Geo don't get me wrong. just too often I see so many bad comments on how he shouldn't be with Twilight.
Granted I don't support that particular ship, I prefer Twilight with Sunset shimmer. but i'm not opposed to reading FlashLight stories either. but anyway I quite enjoyed this humourous tale, good work on it

OH MY GOD.

DOES THIS IDIOT KNOW WHAT HE HAS DONE.

IT IS RULE #7 IN THE BRO CODE, YOU DO NOT SLEEP WITH YOUR BEST FRIENDS SIBLING! IS HE MAD?!

Okay folks. In every story where the writer isn't writing Flash as some fleshed-out nice guy or mane-flowing stud, or the readers don't have anything nice to say about Flash, you people congregate and whine and complain about Flash not getting a chance. Many of us do not like Flash. It is not your place to tell us different or even to complain about it. Any comment you have to make on the subject has been said before, and if our minds aren't changed now nothing you say will ever make a difference.

So stop. We have our reasons, and not all are related to waifus. Frankly, I also hate him because so many of you try to use him as a canon self-insert and take any slight against him as if it was an attack on your person. It gets old! We hate Flash Sentry. You like Flash Sentry. We understand that you do even if we could never find ourselves doing that. Now, accept that we do not like Flash Sentry and leave it be. That's the intelligent and mature thing to do.


That aside, this was a hilarious story.

5820223 The reason so many people hate Flash is because in Equestria Girls it was automatic shipping. Right at the start of the story Twilight is practically hitting on a different species and they start the cliche bumping into each other gag. Also, Flash in the first movie is the 'Perfect Boy'. In the second movie he actually has a character, yet in the first since he was just there to be, 'The Love Interest' and nothing more, we just can't automatically forgive Hasbro. Also, we hate him because no guy wants to ship Twilight with anyone except their OC. Like Black Gryphon. I get that there are some people who like it, but overall the fandom wants him gone. I liked him in the second movie, but in the first it was just... horrible.

Really hope that this Flash Sentry didn't ever have plans to climb the ranks because he isn't even a Private anymore.

5820223 There was a possibility that the pony version of him would start dating Twilight, and their relationship would start becoming a component of the season 4 plotline. If one of them got a boyfriend, it would seriously mess with the dynamic, plus boyfriends aren't something the target audience can relate to.

Also, we hate him because no guy wants to ship Twilight with anyone except their OC. Like Black Gryphon.

"Flash and Twi are a bad canon shipping. Twilight is supposed to be dating MY OC!"

5823134 Surprised he's not missing his private.

5820223
as other pointed, flash was made with the precise objective of being a love interest. last time hasbro wanted something like that, they created the female transformers, and the last time fim had one, it was prince blueblood

after that, flash had the importance of a paperweight in the first eqg, the explicit objective of rustle bronie's gimmies in s4 and became vaguelly charactherized in eqgrr

but he's still vaguelly more that "that guy that tried to hit on twilight"


and we all know how shippers can be...

I'm surprised Shining Armor didn't KILL Private Sentry for that. Of course I would think it would probably have been rape because why would such an intelligent mare do something like that with somepony who is lower on the evolutionary ladder than pond scum? Regarding shipping Twily, I don't ship her with OCs. I primarily ship her with Tia but Fluttershy and Rarity make good ships for her as well.

Shining Armor calls up Twilight for sibling to sibling chat.
Shining: "Yo, Twilight! Hey, do you happen to know a guy named Flash Sentry?"
Twilight: "Um...maybe?"
Shining: "And how exactly do you know him?"
Twilight: "He was in that world Sunset Shimmer ran off to. Why are you so curious all of a sudden?"
Shining: "Oh, no reason... just remember to always save your innocence for the right guy."
Twilight: "What the:twilightoops:-WHY ARE YOU SAYING THESE THINGS!?":twilightangry2: *hangs up*
Shining: "Just another job well done as a big brother."

Flash got off lightly
He's lucky Cadence didn't hear that

Oh no! That was just.... bad! In a good way! Poor Flash! I hope he has better luck next time! :trollestia:

You Really really despise Flash, now do you?

heh

This was great. Really bad/good pun at the end there. Besides, I immediately thought of the "Damn Daniel!' meme when I saw the end.

5810002
I'm a flashlight shipper, so you guys can just go and ignore me.

Flash wears gold armour. That is heresy and he shall be obliterated.
