Nostalgia Follow-up Fun Time: Equestria Girls, or, Sunset Begins · 11:07pm Jul 9th, 2016
Circa, 2013 (daaaaaamn, three years!), it was a hard time for the fandom. Twilight had just grown wings, we had only half a season, and everyone wondered just how long the show, and the fandom, would stay afloat.
Things... wouldn't get better soon.
Right on the heels of 'Magical Mystery Cure' came the next fandom breaking, game changing, controversial phenomenon. Humans.
Humans? In my ponies? Oh, heeeeelllll no!
That was everyone's reaction. Equestria Girls had arrived, bringing humanized ponies, high school clichés and waifu stealers. What would come out of all this after the dust settled? What did I think while all this unfolded?
Well, my first thought was, 'dammit, they made Sunset Shimmer look like a bitch!'
Get the rest of my thoughts on the first Equestria Girls movie down below!
Three seasons in, and Spike is still just an accessory with accessories.
Back in the Crystal Empire! A lot of people were worried that this place wouldn't get too much mileage out of it. But, here we are again! It's still shiny!
"The fandom is about to lose their shit, I'm assuming the position."
Oh, Pinkie. Season 3 was... not her best. The writers seemed to have forgotten how to write for her. Here we have an example where she's staring to get better again, but still spouts a few things that make me cringe. 'Nervouscited' was not her best work.
If Sunset were here, I'm sure she'd make some snarky comment.
What are you doing?
Gaaaaaaahhh—h-hey, Sunset. What's up? I was just, uhhh...
Doing a follow-up for the first movie?
Well, you didn't want to do it! I don't know why, this movie made you popular.
No, Rainbow Rocks made me popular. This made everyone hate the 'Twilight clone'.
I still loved you!
... Y-yeah, well, you have stupid tastes. You don't count. Sigh, fine, I'll do this stupid follow-up with you, but only because it would suck without me.
Sunset, you're the best—
And fifty bucks.
...Fine. The star of Long Road to Friendship and coming soon Spectacular Seven, and our antagonist for the movie, Sunset Shimmer, everyone!
Tactical waifu stealer inbound!
Why is pony Flash even in the Crystal Empire? He looks so out of place next to the crystal guards. He must get harassed on a daily basis.
And if you listen closely, you can hear the first growls of rabid Twilight fans.
"What if Celestia expects me to lead a kingdom of my own?" One season later...
Spike also got quite shafted in season 3, what with the universally hated episode 'Spike at your Service' (even I can't stand it). Seeing him return as Twilight's right-hand dragon and confidant was a high point for this movie.
Uuuugh, it just hit me, I'll be staring at her for the next hour! On top of reliving the worst moment in my life. Why'd I have to be sober for this?
If your wingboner persists for more than two hours, consult your doctor.
Sorry, not sorry!
Way too sober for this.
Black cloaks were in this season.
I don't know how that light didn't wake her up, it was shining right on her face.
Looks like she took care of that wingboner.
I'm wondering why I didn't just slit her throat back then.
Sunset, this is a kid's show!
Yeah, hold on to that.
Behold! The mare who would change everything!
People ask me why I love Sunset, and I give them a multitude of answers. But ultimately, there are some things that were just meant to be. I didn't intend to have a niche character... but I'm glad I do.
Heh heh.... you're such a sap.
Twilight used tackle!
Figures she'd have a level 5 move. Worst Pokemon.
This is the face of a winner.
I miss being a unicorn.
Awww, sad Celestia.
I... ugh. I'll never find the words to express how sorry I am. She did try to help me, but... sigh, here comes the remorse.
Like me in season 3, Luna is not amused with Pinkie.
I should stop ripping on s3. It wasn't horrible it just... compared to the other seasons... yeah.
Here's a question: why did Celestia move the mirror from the throne room to the Empire? Was it there originally? Did Cadence ask for it? ... Did Celestia give up on me coming home?
I'm sure it was anything but that last one! Look at how sad she was in the last panel.
Collation of awesome faces.... and Pinkie.
Addendum, I should stop ripping on s3 Pinkie. She wasn't horrible, just compared to the other seasons.... yeah.
Anyway, the secondary characters can't go because then the movie wouldn't be about Twilight.
"Excuse me, I made her a princess, not the five of you."
Celestia gets to be the fun police. Don't let that face fool you, she's secretly enjoying it.
Let's do the time space warp again!
Well, here we go. The foray into official humanized ponies.
Can't catch a break, even in the movies.
I can kinda understand why they made Spike a dog. It'd be easier for him to follow Twilight around and stuff. If he was a human, he'd be a freshman like the crusaders or younger, and it'd be harder for them to avoid detection... or detention from skipping classes.
At least he's cute.
"KHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAN!"
And then there's her. Too bad her face didn't get stuck like that.
"My leg!"
She's taking this transformation... rather poorly.
Too be fair, I had big freak out too. Not everyday you cross worlds and turn into a skinny hairless monkey.
Hi-ho, Twilight!
I should sympathize with her, since I've been in this situation, but she ruined my life. So, I'm just going to say, she looks like an idiot.
Shouldn't he be in class?
I swear that dog looks familiar. I can never remember where.
HAHAHAHAHAHA!
I can't laugh, 'cause I've done that before.
Panicking non-horse noises.
Bet she wouldn't have beat me with her face stuck like that.
All right, we should move on.
Tactical waifu stealer has landed. Approaching target.
Meet Brad... I mean Flash.
...
...
... Yeah, that's it. There he is. He's there. He's a thing. That's all he is. Next scene.
*Inhales*
Don't even think about it.
*Exhales* Killjoy. Well... here's a picture of Sunset cornering Fluttershy against a locker. Please use your imaginations.
Shit, Spike can look feral when the situation calls for it.
And here's our beautiful badass!
I'm verbally assaulting Fluttershy and probably would have reduced her to tears again if Twilight hadn't intervened. 'Beautiful badass' isn't the choice of words I'd use to describe me.
"I don't know what boobs are yet, but I'm pretty sure hers are better than mine."
I won't argue with that one. Both Twilights are a little... small.
Hey!
"Who said you could come out the locker?"
I kinda miss having that kind of power. Terrifying the populace with just a glance. Asserting my authority and making anyone do what I say. Holding everyone's reputation in the palm of my hand, able to ruin their social standings with a few words or leaked secrets! Knowing no one could topple me from my throne! Not the students, not the parents, not the principal! I was untouchable! Ha..hahaha... hahahahaha—
Sunset.
Ahem. I'm cool. Friendship is magic and all that.
Remind me to send Fluttershy some flowers and a teddy bear.
Happy non-horse noises.
I think she'll be fine.
I wonder what would happen if she put on the crown?
So, it was night in Equestria when they had the scuffle for the crown, but it's daytime in the human world. Further proof that time makes no sense between these two worlds.
You can tell she loves her job.
Was she just having a bad day? Does she hate new students? I never figured out why she sounds so annoyed in this scene? I mean, yeah, Twilight's a little awkward—
Very awkward.
—but that's no reason to glare at her.
*Angry hissing noises*
Why would you show a picture of that picture?! I hate that picture! I look like I'm insane! Why does Celestia even keep that in there? You think that would have clued people in that something was wrong with me!
And you hit every point I was going to make.
Even Twilight was scarred by that picture.
Celestia slammed the door. Seriously, was she being sarcastic when she said her door was always open?
Fluttershy feeling up Twilight makes the other girl experience things she hasn't felt before.
Deja vu.
"Fuckin' casual."
With that nonchalant expression, you'd think Spike smacks Twilight upside the head all the time.
Pinkie's really desperate for a date to the dance.
Here's human Pinkie, being what Pinkie should be, funny and weird shenanigans that can be over the top sometimes, without being in your face.
Fun fact: EG humans are made out of taffy.
That little throw away line about Twilight having a twin in the city. You think they just put that in there to explain where Human Twi is, or did they know they were going to get to make three movies?
Better safe than sorry. It kept the fanfic writers happy.
I approve of these drawings.
Applejack actually has some talent.
Sunset Shimmer screams at Cider.
I demand a crack fic of this by the end of the week.
Please don't.
Oooooh, she's pissed.
I'll be honest, I'm surprised I walked out of that gym with nothing broken. Applejack can kick through trees when she's mad enough.
Is Sunset Shimmer gonna have to choke a bitch?
It was actually Twilight's really bad handwriting that set me off.
"You can't be hotter than me! I'm the main character!"
Not in this universe, Princess.
So, how did you not recognize her the first time you saw her?
I don't know. I didn't think she'd be dumb enough to follow me.
Sunset is not impressed.
I really wasn't.
"Trixie demands more screentime!"
Two seasons later...
Seriously, what's with all the disgruntled teachers?
Well now she just looks brainwashed.
Pinkie's been giving them lessons in how to defy gravity!
"This is how you hold book, yes?"
Twilight, you don't know where that's been, think of the bacteria.... on second thought, keep licking it.
"This is a yearbook."
No shit, Sherlock! They have yearbooks in Equestria, this shouldn't be a revolutionary thing!
Their heads are ginormous!
But look how cute they are!
Yep, and I robbed them of two and a half years of their friendship. Go me.
Get back in the pack.
From hero of the Crystal Empire, to a dog in a backpack. Don't worry, Spike, you'll rise again.
Rarity, that's not very ladylike.
Admit it, you two, you like the view.
Being the Element of Honesty let her see through disguises. Or it was just that bad.
You know, with that hair, they could be cousins or something.
Wouldn't surprise me. Those country folk breed like rabbits.
Apologies to country folks everywhere.
"See? This is my fetish!"
Girls, watching porn is not a group activity! Then again—
*Smack*
Moving on!
With how she desecrated that book, you think even Twilight wouldn't vote for herself.
This was one of my favorite smear campaigns. Not just because it was against the princess, because she made it so frickin' easy.
Seriously, how much does she spit?
Dooomed. Dooooooooooooomed!
There it is, the look of complete hopelessness. See that fear in her eyes? The realization that she can't beat me? That's what I live for! Ahaha... hahaha—
Sunset.
Okay, I'm better. Let's put the hostile looks away please.
Never rely too much on technology.
You know, your plan was more of a gamble. If just one of them decided to actually talk to the other about the 'texts' they got, they would have figured you out.
No plan's perfect. And it worked, didn't it? Not my fault they were dumb enough to fall for it. Emphasis on were. I know how smart they can be.
Seriously, why is Rainbow wearing s skirt? For that matter, why is A.J wearing one?
Hooray, they're all friends again!
Yep. That's the end of the movie! They all made up and lived happily ever after, now let's go do something else.
You know the movie isn't over. I paid you fifty, I'm doing the whole movie.
Can't blame me for trying.
That move has been made illegal in twelve countries.
Good luck, Twilight! Ah, who am I kidding, she's about to get rekt.
Hit her in the face, hit her in the face, hit her in the face!
Good job, Charlie Brown.
K.O! Twilight, lose!
Yata.
Happy Rainbow is cute Rainbow.
"This is my fetish."
Yes, Twilight, we all know you're impressed by Rainbow's awesome, but take it down a notch.
Look how evilly happy you are.
Good times?
Is literally every adult disgruntled with Twilight?
*Inhales*
Don't answer that.
*Exhales*
And in the distance, you can hear a thousand man-babies screaming about their waifu.
Perhaps I should take it down a notch. After all, I'm not sure how I'd react if they tried to give Sunset a love interest. Probably not well, but just because, no matter what the writers do, it's gonna suck.
Anyways, there's Flash. Yep.... still there. Still a thing. Next scene.
Well, at least Rarity ships it.
She ships it very hard.
All right, Rarity, no more being adorable.
I just said stop!
Well, Rarity has a flash of inspiration to unite the school against Sunset. Dressing like furries Showing their school pride!
Yep. School pride. Nothing else.
And here comes what was the saving grace of the movie for some. The best (and truthfully, only one I remember before watching it again) song of the movie. Good job, Daniel.
It's pretty catchy despite being about the frickin' princess. I might have appreciated it more if I wasn't frothing at the mouth.
Rainbow is no longer phased by Pinkie's reality warping.
Presented with absolutely no context.
I could do this all day.
Can we at least try to speed this along.
Shotblocked.
Oh look, he has a guitar. Two points to personality.
Goddammit, they look adorable.
Goddammit, they look stupid.
"I was wrong. This is my fetish."
Okay, I'll stop now.
"Stupid, sexy, Twilight."
Far from what I'm thinking! At least about that Twilight.
This is how I got away with literally everything.
You've got the adorable face for it.
If only I had used my powers for good.
Of course Luna likes to keep her office dark.
So, the dance got wrecked, a form of serious vandalism, and the biggest punishment Twilight is about to receive is, 'you can't run for princess.' If that had happened at my school, you would have been suspended at least.
But of course, here comes the white knight to the rescue.
Oh look, actual character traits. Sure, they're cliché as hell, but at least we're starting to see a personality in there.
"One no would have been fine!"
Okay, that line actually made me feel for the guy. I know what it's like to be rejected. I sympathized, and laughed, so that's some major points right there.
"They're making a second Hocus Pocus!?"
I feel you, Pinkie. Sequels are so overrated.
Pinkie is quickly playing catch-up in the best face contest.
So she just, 'hunched' that Twilight was a princess from another world who needed her crown back from me? That isn't a hunch, that's ESP!
No, it's Pinkie.
She makes that face a lot.
Behold, the mystical powers of Pinkie Pie!
Too close to the screen, Fluttershy, too close to the screen!
She's going to love you!
"I promise, my bark is bigger than my bite."
Spike, you're younger than her, and a different species. Give it up.
Friendship power activate!
Humans or ponies, you have to admit, they're cute when they work together.
It's just some garbage, Pinkie, no need to be upset.
During clean-up, they found a dead opossum. Fluttershy wanted to have a proper funeral, but there was no time for that, so they stuffed it in the bag instead.
Smug non-horse noises.
Typical princess. Stand there looking proud of yourself while everyone else does the work.
Isn't that what you did—
Shut up.
Soon.
This used to be my favorite 'soon' meme until we got Starlight sticking her head out of a cloud.
The only thing she was good for in the finale.
Rainbow always dresses in style.
She looks ready to murder someone. Can't say I blame her.
"Rarity, now is not the time! ...Wait until after the dance."
Tacky.
You know what I just realized? Half this movie is composed of montages! Twilight discovering the school, Twilight in the library, Twilight vs. Rainbow, Fixing the gym, getting ready for the dance, and a giant musical number in the cafeteria! No wonder Rainbow Rocks did better, at least we knew it was going to be a musical montage!
Of course that's his car.
I was sympathizing with you, Flash, then you pulled that out. You're as cliché as cliché can get. You don't deserve to die in a fire, but you're not making my top ten list.
Damn, Twilight, way to abuse your date.
Even I wasn't that mean to him.
And the winner of the Fall Formal is...
Booooo! I mean, looking back, I'm glad I didn't win, but still, Boooo!
Spike's more upset that he didn't think of wearing a dapper hat.
And the celebration is ruined by a dognapping... dragonnapping? Spikenapping!
She's cute when shes evil!
Now, tell me, Shimmy, did you really think using a sledgehammer to break a transparent mirror was really going to work?
No, it's called a bluff. I seriously didn't think she'd call it.
Their eyes are animeishly huge in this shot.
You know, I admire Twilight for sticking with her new friends, and caring about them, claiming Equestria can survive without her Element of Harmony.
Oh, if only you knew how fucking wrong you were, Twilight.
Let's see. If Twilight had never come back to Equestria, it'd be covered in vines—
Or controlled by Discord—
—or ruined by Tirek—
—with a brainwashed village off in a remote corner.
So, good choice, Twi.
"Fuck it, Imma just kill her!"
Well... you're not wrong.
Presented without—Smack!—Ow!
I can't get over how happy she looks.
Just look at that face. Is that a face you say 'no' to? She looks so innocent and happy.
Hahahahahahahahaha! ...Oh Celestia, you're being serious.
Good job, Twilight, you got it back.
Only to toss it to me. Nice job, genius.
And to the victor go the spoils.
May I be excused now?
Yep, this is bringing back all sorts of wonderful memories.
Remember how you said this was a kid's show?
... Yeah?
Well look who's fucking wrong!
Nope, still kinda sexy.
I just noticed... you only have four fingers in your demon form.
Yeah, so?
Why?
I don't know! Go ask the demon. Or better yet, the animators.
If that doesn't give you nightmares, I don't know what will.
It took me the second time watching this to note that she's huge as a demon!
You're not helping me in any way right now.
Sunset used Blast Burn!
I can't watch! I just can't!
Sunset, you know what's going to happen.
I'm still not looking!
Harmony used protect! The attack was negated.
Like they were actually going to kill off all the main characters at once. This isn't Game of Thrones.
Twilight's really feeling it.
Sunset, they're still alive, you can look now.
Sniff...
Sunset, are you crying?
N-no! Don't be stupid!
Okay, let's wrap this up.
Orbital friendship cannon armed and ready!
Their arms still look like taffy.
In another universe, Nightmare Moon shuddered in agony.
Well do you know what it feels like to get hit by a rainbow? It burns. Everywhere.
"If I had any single regret for the countless horrific events that have transpired in my wake... it's that I'm dying."
Fifty more bucks please.
Worth it.
Here because cute.
"Is she... okay, no, she's moving!"
Well, here we are at the start of Long Road to Friendship. Sunset brought low by the EoH and about to embark on a journey of true self-discovery.
You know, I almost forgot just how low I felt when I came to from that blast. Thanks for bringing it up again.
I'm gonna pay for this later, aren't I?
In spades.
Never gonna live that down.
Damn, that was the fastest heel-face turn in the show. If only someone would expand on that and make it more believable.
Do you want me to start punching your ego? Because I will.
Yes, Flash, it's a really awkward time for a dance.
Hey, Twilight, remember the whole moon time limit thing? You know, being trapped here for thirty moon? No? Just gonna go dance? Okay, whatever.
Here because adorable and awesome.
Well, if that's not true love, I don't what is.
Gag me.
Equestria Girls!
It was going to be a long night.
Denied!
Pinkie, if you had made it through, what would you have done then? You'd be stuck in Equestria for 30 moons with no way to contact your friends or family. Plus there'd be two Pinkie's in Equestria. It can barely handle one!
Only Rarity came prepared.
So, did they just wait there three days or what? More important, where the heck is Shining Armor?
Mmm, dat flank.
Flash Sentry about to steal all the waifus.
Okay, I think we're done here. This is probably the longest follow-up I've ever made. See, that wasn't so bad was it?
I hate you.
You scored a hundred bucks, don't complain. So, that was Equestria Girls. The movie was further divide the fandom apart with giant babies begging McCarthy to say it wasn't canon. I'm not apologizing for that one. Sunset Shimmer stories would start to trickle out as writers took to exploring this new parallel world. It wouldn't be until Rainbow Rocks that Sunset would get the stardom she rightly deserves.
Okay fine, I don't hate you. You drive me up the wall though.
I do it out of love! That's it for the follow-up. The first movie is fun to rewatch from time to time, despite its horribly clichéd plot. Ponies make everything better. Sunset makes everything fantastic!
Heh... we'll see you guys when the season starts up again.
I can't believe Sunset Shimmer is a tsundere.
Ah, that TFS reference.
Interesting analysis.
Smiled and laughed the whole way through...also don't worry Sunset, at least everyone loves you now right? Angelic demi-goddess looks SO much better on you than Raging She-Demon. Can't wait for spectacular seven...all my chips on Sunset in her bout against Moon Dancer! Let the battle begin!!
A little bit nostalgic about the first Equestria Girls movie now. It was the worst of the three, but at least it introduced Sunset Shimmer, that makes up for almost everything else. And it has the only time we've seen Sunset in pony form, even if for only five minutes (or less). Probably best not to bring up all the other weird things about the movie, like the timeline issues (like how Sunset left Equestria before Twilight became Celestia's student, so that's probably 10 years earlier, yet seems like only a few years in human world).
This made me smile all the way through. And it's always nice to see Sunset from Long Road to Friendship again, even in a very meta sense.
Awesome and hilarious to read. And honestly, I was fine after the events of season 3 and the movie. I felt no ominous feelings or anything. I remain optimistic and just see where things go. Same with Equestria Girls; I grant the complaints one can say about the film, but it's a guilty pleasure and brought about my favorite character in the franchise, the spectacular Sunset Shimmer.
Of course, it was after the second movie where she became my favorite, but I certainly didn't hate her after the first movie. Heck, one of the things I was hoping for in a sequel was the continuation of her story, to see how she had changed as a result of the first movie. Heck, the wait for the announced Rainbow Rocks was one of the few times I was hesitant and unsure about something, but not because of the first movie. But because going forward there was nothing mentioning Sunset in it at all and I felt to not have her would be a mistake and truly make it a cash grab. Even back then, I knew the Equestria Girls movies had to be her story. I hope in the upcoming fourth film she still has her own arc going forward.
Don't worry, Sunset; everything's OK. I know you may smack me for this, but if it helps you feel better, worth it. Have a hug, my favorite little pony (and human). (HUG)
That was a fun read!
Are you thinking about him ?

Huh, that was Fluttershy.
Snips: "DESCRIBE. WHAT. SUNSET. SHIMMER. LOOKS LIKE!"
Brad: "She...she's tall...she's got bacon hair..."
Snips: "Does she look like a bitch?"
Brad: "What?"
*BLAM*
Snips: "DOES. SHE. LOOK. LIKE. A BITCH?!"
Brad: "YES!"
Snips: *pauses* "...well that backfired on me."
Not everyone! (A lot of people just wanted to
her.)
Tsunset!
Token pegasus. Besides, it makes sense for the Crystal Empire to have at least one guard who can fly.
*snrk*
Let's just hope she washed her hooves.
Preach it!
It's not very effective...
It kinda was!
Or how about this: Celestia's been keeping track of the time, knew the portal was about to open, knew she was going to be in the Crystal Empire when it did, and had the mirror moved there so she wouldn't miss it?
Pinkie was pretty badly flanderized in S3 and early S4. Unfortunately, her flanderization still rears its ugly head from time to time, but at least they've mostly fixed her.
Just "beautiful ass" then?
That came out wrong.
no it didn't
I make that joke every time I watch the movie. It's just so...weird.
And a thousand more furiously drawing or writing FlashLight porn.
Dammit, that's my schtick!
On the other hand, that's exactly the kind of car that gets you backseat action with the girls.
They gave her two. We call them Twilight.
Also this just because.
https://derpibooru.org/1194990?scope=scpe5776618bdc41e18d70a1ad06eb3b87dc96e349ad
I mean you're not wrong.
ESPECIALLY Seasons 4 and 5, she was on point in those!
With pleasure.
No kidding.
It'd be hilarious.
If you think THAT'S impressive, watch this:
The direction of Pinkie and AJ's gazes disagree.
Goddammit Nappa!
Give it a movie.
Same.
Well first of all, this: gstatic.com/tv/thumb/dvdboxart/22207/p22207_d_v8_aa.jpg

The defense rests, Your Honor.
Same thing. At least in Friendship Games, it was a somewhat resonable deduction, though she had little to go off of.
Agreed.
And it was a good montage with a damn good song, here it's just bland Disney Cannel pop songs with meh montages.
It is pretty dapper.
Indeed.
You're really isn't.
You had that coming.
Discord?
David Spades?
Well, to be fair; it's not like there were no stories/art/whatever of that before the movie came out.
4080778 I dunno, I always thought she had tsundere potential in spades! Especially after Rainbow Rocks.
I know one or two authors on this site that refused to believe that anything after "Games Ponies Play" ever happened.
I'm glad the fandom got a lot out of Sunset Shimmer, because for a while I didn't think she was anypony special. The thing I liked most about her was her pony design and we see that for all of two minutes. We also have this potentially deep and emotional backstory and nothing has been done with it by Hasbro. Well, there was that single issue event comic that was hard to come by. Woo-hoo.
So yeah, it's no wonder that it took a second and third movie to really start fleshing out her character. And the second one had to be a doozy in order for us to believe that this could be a viable second franchise. I'm looking forward to the fourth Equestria Girls, but I'm at a loss as to what more can be done. Of course, I thought that after the third AND fourth season, and look how much further we've come.
While Twilight and Sunset had a scuffle in night time, I re-watched the beginning of the movie and in the scene where Celestia and Luna explain things to Twilight it seems to be daytime? I guess Twilight just waited around the night before doing anything...
Snarkiness is magic.
Hysterical as always. Never change. After all, I need reasons for people to complain about me laughing too loud. You're the best reason I got right now.
Haha, this was really fun ^-^
It's weird, but I think I always liked Equestria Girls and this "strange new world" even in the first movie. The Cafeteria Song was really catchy, and there was just so much potential. I loved the "Where's Waldo" feeling of trying to see what everyone's mirror would be like. It just seemed like there was so much depth waiting to be explored, and that's what the following movies and (mostly) fan-fiction gave me ^-^.
It stinks because I'm waiting for Sunset to canonically have all the depth she deserves. Her relationship with Twilight and Celestia massively expanded. Questions about what she will do with her future. Her family. Basically...everything that you've covered with your fanfics
. As much as fanfiction has helped fill the void, and the movies are probably just gonna be more child-friendly fun that doesn't touch the depth of some stories out there, I wish we'll someday canonically see all of this depth in the movies :3.
If only she showed then how her one friend got a cutie mark. Maybe then they'd understand.
Ok, first:
For everything.
Also:
best quote.
