Head canon ruined (episode thoughts and feelings) · 12:40am Jun 5th, 2016
FLUTTERSHY'S PARENTS ARENT SUPPOSED TO BE SHY AND NICE THEYRE SUPPOSED TO BE THE REASON SHES SHY AND DOESNT PUT HERSELF OUT THERE NOT JUST LEARNED IT NOTHING IS RIGHT ITS ALL WRONG IM RIGHT THE SHOW IS WRONG!!!!
Now that my freak out is don-AHHHHHH NONONONONONO GOD FREAKING DAMNIT...Sorry. But anyways, that episode was really good. I'm glad the writers are doing that kind of story and involving lessons that the audience will need to learn. Even myself. I've always been afraid of failing and have always needed an extra push, and even then it wasn't always enough to get me started. I was nervous to start writing on a public forum 4 years ago because I was always told and still am that it's not worth it, I wouldn't get far, the chances of me getting somewhere or making stories that people like are so slim and small, that I wouldn't be able to do anything with it. It would just be a hobby that took time out of my day to actually do something with my life. And this episode is actually making me want to go back to college and get a degree in teaching or writing. (Still have to do all that research)
I've always been afraid to start something "dangerous." I have low self esteem and have been known by friends and family to keep myself back from actually doing something with my life.
I identify with Zephyr in almost every way, but instead of with hair, it's with writing. It takes a lot for me to start a new story, and I need positive reinforcement to keep going. I know it may not seem that way with how fast I can pump out chapters, but that's with positive reinforcement, whereas my wife could do that to prove someone wrong who's given her negativity. I don't thrive off of negative reinforcement and negativity brings my mood and production to a crawl. Shes actually one of the reasons I write. She knows I love it and she wants me to do it, but she also wants me to be real and try and go someplace where it can be useful. I haven't written a new chapter in my book that I wanted to get published at some point in almost a year and I'm thinking about scratching it and starting over.
Just some thoughts about the episode and how I feel about it. Now if Zephyr takes one more step towards my mare, imma kill him. 
Just AU your story thats what I did.
I loved this episode. I loved deadpan snarking Fluttershy so much... it's changed my life forever.
