Look at Flash Sentry. Hitting on Twilight and being all nice to her. How dare he? He sucks.
I'm Shining Armor, and as Twilight's older brother, I'm the one who has to approve of whoever dates her. Or whoever wants to date her. Or, in the case of Flash Sentry, might even think about wanting to date her. But I don't like him. Not one bit. I have a visceral hatred of him from the very core of my being. So, I kick Flash Sentry's flank.
He deserves it, after all, and I'm sure that you all agree.
Chapters (1)
Why do people hate Flash so much?
3399791 Because, like Shining Armor, they can't stand the thought of anypony dating Twilight that they don't 100% approve of.
liked instantly. cant stand that prick.
3399795 I see. I take it you don't hate Flash Sentry? At least, as much as some others do?
3399802 Nah. I think he's a bit one-dimensional, but he's not a terrible character like others say.
This is gonna be duuuuuuuuuuuumb.
I can't wait.
(reads)
3399804 I find it hard to believe that some people judge Flash based upon five minutes of screentime. That's like judging a movie based upon seeing a trailer. At least, to me it is. I also think that if he got some S4 screentime, and his character was developed some more, then maybe some people wouldn't hate him as much.
Yep. SO DUMB.
Going by your comment replies you and I are on the exact same page with Flash here. Still, I laughed. Have a fave and upvote.
P.S.
given what i keep seeing the fandom use "buck" for i am confused as to why there's no romance tag

I don't like the idea of Twilight dating Shining Armor because....it's her freaking brother!
even gilda, diamond tiara and prince blueblood combine don't get this much hate.
+1 like for that chapter title
While this is obviously COMPLETELY out of character for Shining Armor, I still thought it was pretty funny.
Shining, I am gonna tell Twilight on you. You crazy pony you.
Overprotective brother best friends forever.
As an older brother, I gotta say this was everything I hoped it would be. Don't mind Flash Sentry myself, but a good ass kicking never hurt anyone, right?
Either way, have a like, a fav, and a
Shining Armor just went full ghetto.

3399902 Shhhh
3399791 Because he's a bland, boring non-character that makes Edward Cullen look like James Bond.
3399911
Shhh... what?
3399920
And yet the fandom has a fascination with characters that have even less personality than him.
3399928 Shhh it's fun watching people upvote things that make fun of them and they don't realize it
3399928 Are you by chance referring to the background ponies?
So apparently the next best thing to gain attention after writing clop is to write about beating up Flash Sentry.
I wonder why I only noticed that now.
3399944 Probably because I'm the first person to do it. If others have done it, I haven't seen it.
3399942
Yes
3399948
Well, in general, putting Flash Sentry in a negative light. The hate that this guy's getting kinda makes me wish he gets some better characterization in S4. Like, even a passing scene or something.
3399955 Read the story. It's actually meant to parody people who dislike Flash Sentry for no reason. Shining Armor's behavior is like much of the fans.
All. Of. My. LOL!
The problem for me... Ma little sis is gay so... It's... Kinda hard to threaten her dates properly...
3399965 Pay a big, beefy girl to do it.
3399959
Good use of the comedy tag.
Oh, I know. And I thought it was hilarious.
Kinda ironic, if you think about how much people disliked Shining back then.
to be honest i wish there were more stories of Flash acting more like a jerk and getting what he deserves. here, its just, you don't like him and just decide to beat on him. i'm a big brother myself and had to deal with my little sister dating guys who i felt were terrible for her, and she dealt with it on her own making her own decisions. now in the case of twi here... she's naive, i can't blame her but thinking flash is the one is another thing. he admits he's not perfect but there's this aura about him that just makes him.... unsettling and a douche that you know he's not good.
Just remember, Big Brother (Best Friend Forever) is always watching you.
I liked it. It made me laugh. I don't actually have anything interesting to say about it, but I want to comment in order to increase the story's chances of ending up in the feature box. Well, you already answered all the questions I would have actually asked with the Shameless Self Promotion. So, is Shining a sociopath?
3399952 I really wouldn't call the BG ponies characters. Being that they exist mostly for the purpose of being Easter eggs in the show, they are more like "blank canvases" for the fans to make whatever they like of them.
As for Flash, he was created to be a character that we were supposed to care about (otherwise, why would they try and make us care about FlashLight in the first place?) But being that his actions hardly amount to squat in the movie, he has the emotional range of a parsnip, and his "romance" with Twilight lasts for all of two to three minutes, he is not only a failure as a love interest, but as a character as well.

Clearly.
3399999 Absolutely so.
3399984 Flash Sentry does kinda act douchy. Given that he refuses to dye his coat because he thinks he's a snowflake.
I have a little sister too, and I've had to watch her date douches. But, I think she learned more from it and learned how to find the right guys than if I had stepped in and just made the decision behind her back. whether you love Sentry or hate him, Shining's behavior in this fic was kind of reprehensible.
3399959 ah but you see there is a reason for my dislike first off he is like that damn cliche high school heart throb in about every damn high school movie ever created...
Personally... I know people don't like Flash that much, but this is going a little too far.
Honestly. This is what I see on youtube when someone thinks Roblox is better than Minecraft.
Wow, a wee bit Unicorn Elitist there, Shining?
3400035 Well, you have to remember...
I have not read this, and I agree with all of it. I will now read
Twilight is so lucky to have Shining as her brother.
3400026 Second of all, his "romance" with Twilight makes Bella and Edward look like Rick and Ilsa.
3400044 HAHA! Funny.
If Flash isn't right for Twilight; then who is? A smart and beautiful mare like her deserves somekind of stallion.
My crazy theory it would be the R63 version of herself, Dusk Shine.
Talk about loving yourself, but loving the guy version of you.
That makes sense right?
3400047 Cassandra specializes in dripping, sardonic sarcasm. That's why I love her stories.

So, the shield is heavy. if f=mXa, then how badly did it hurt the changelings when it was used in Canterlot?
(I say 'if' because physics clearly doesn't work the same way in the land of technicolor ponies.)
3400057 Not that bad, because it was spread over a larger area. In one of my fics, there's a force field spread over all of Sweet Apple Acres, but because it's so thin, it can be broken with a few swift kicks.
3400066
Ah, so the density is inversely proportional to the size.
3400027 The hell is roblox?
