"So we're gonna have a bunch of immature kids runnin' loose on Canterbook?" Rainbow asks.
Celestia raises an eyebrow. "As opposed to what Canterbook is like already?"
"Heh...point taken..."
This Perfectly describes every social media site in the world.
Yeah, I'm sure showing up in the middle of a fight while having a stronger Persona is the height of strategy there, Fluttershy.
Same with being caught in an obvious ambush on an obvious weekend to have an ambush, and clearly knowing about it because you ranted about it in the Canterbook app. You definitely don't have the upper hand here when it comes to being a better strategist, since your strategy in regards to the group was "be stronger when they showed up, still lose."
Jesus Christ this version of Fluttershy winds me up.
It's not that she's wrong, but that she's no better and acts like she is.
Not bad. Two S.Links have ranked up. Yeah, that integration is seriously bad news. And Fluttershy points out that Flash went off half-cocked Sunday, among other things. Shy may be a bitch right now, but when she's right, she's right.
Celestia acknowledges the sorry state of Canterbook... yet still plans on going through with the expansion. I'm not condemning her because of something she can't possibly know. I'm condemning her because middle school sucks worse than high school. She might as well paint most of the CJHS student body with barbeque sauce and throw them into a piranha tank.
I do like how Fluttershy is being helpful in the least helpful way she can be. There's still a nice person in there, just badly twisted up in herself.
And I remain uneasy about the Taviscratch situation. Stasis is not a good thing to seek out in a relationship. Of course, there are much larger issues to worry about at the moment.
I seriously think that the lot of them are getting too reckless as a result of the few failures that have happened in the Zodiac, seriously, if Flash didn't pull off that bullshit Velvet Room summoning then it would be very likely that Fluttershy could have killed the lot of them.
And seriously, I know how people would like the say this Fluttershy is OOC and wrong... but I like those moments of snark she has with the lot of them, she's like the teenager that has learned to grow up and pokes holes in the younger kids fantasies.
She's still a bitch in the personal side of things, but I'd like her to keep be flipped not into shy flutter, but instead Passive Aggressive Shy.
My heart immediately dropped into my stomach at that line.
I think I see Sunset's goal now. Canter book is no longer limited to just Canterlot High. Taken to it's logical extreme, if she intends to have it as big as Facebook, it'll no longer be limited to Canterlot.
I'm surprised Flash isn't doing anything to get physically stronger, if my life was in danger I would be pumping iron and studying all the martial arts video's I could find on Youtube.
Okay, I see what is going on. And I'm not sure if I feel safe.
But the question that should be made is not "What is Sunset's plan", but "Who made the directive decision of expanding Canterbook?"
5966543 Oh, yeah, because you can TOTALLY deliver a roundhouse kick to a giant eldritch being that is constantly moving around... There's a REASON why your basic attacks are fazed out extremely quickly in the games, bro.
5966659
May I also remind you that Flash has a battle axe. Getting Physically stronger would help Flash keep control over such a heavy weapon, plus going for runs and working out would help him build more stamina, the last thing you want in a fight for your life is for your muscles to get tired and fatigued. As for the martial arts, he'd never be able to match her skills, but if it helped him even a little in a fight against her, then it would be worth it.
Well...
...shit. This will not end well at all...
5966210
To be fair, showing up after the team was exhausted fighting Scorpio was a decent strategy. So was isolating Flash during Rainbow's birthday.
5966835
REALLY? I THINK IT'S GONNA WORK WONDERFULLY!!!!!!!!!! Not.
5967038
Sarcasm detected, and an excellent use of it use of it as well.
5967067
Was your reply sarcastic?
5966882
Yeah, they were both good strategies.
The thing is... at most of of Fluttershy's "advanced strategies" came from the fact that she knew more than they did, both in the fact that she had cameras wired everywhere and that she knew her enemy's identity and more about Zodiac, and that she was under zero pressure from the Zodiac beasts, who she mostly wanted to just encourage to do their own job.
The investigation team is caught flat footed most of the time because there was no realistic way they could've known those things, and were constantly under more dire circumstances than she. While they haven't done the best job, Fluttershy had all the advantages, including her own more powerful Persona/physical fighting skills (if they aren't linked).
I think 5966227 is correct in saying that Fluttershy is helping them the most hostile way she can, but her taunts all feel like they're laced with a superiority complex she can't back up anymore, and the things that made her outstrategize them are also falling apart.
It may not be a plan, but I usually find it to be a fun "tactic." (Granted, my actual life is never in danger when I do so.)
I realize this is an irrelevant detail of absolutely no concern at this point, but my personal curiosity can't help wondering what date in September Sweetie's birthday occurs...
5967157 So, in short, Fluttershy is something of a Smug Snake, right?
5967223
... She's similar to that, yeah. I think if she keeps doing what she's doing stubbornly she'll share a pretty bad fate... but even as much as she grates on me I hope her ultimate fate is going to be better.
5967086
no.
5967157
Assuming Eris is even a real Persona to begin with (which i doubt). Eris (the persona) is the only reason their last encounter ended up the way it did. Flash actually killed Fluttershy and they were smart enough to keep her phone away from her after that. Based on past experience, that should have been enough to prevent any persona usage, limiting her to physical attacks; which Flash can counter by equipping a Persona that resists striking attacks (like he did at the beginning of their encounter during Rainbow's birthday).
Well, that's going to end badly.
Unless Sunset reboots Zodiac like Fluttershy threatened she could. Then we're all fucked.
GOD I love FlutterBitch. She just...makes me happy.
I mean, sure, I want her to tone it down and join the team, but man, she's totally my favorite now.
5967677 You're making an awful lot of assumptions about Fluttershy here.
5967437
Alright. Didn't think it was. I just have a mental issue that makes it hard to detect sarcasm.

Knowing what we know now, I'm impressed with your prediction from back here, even though it turned out to be a little bit of both. (I was still very much biased, and subsequently rather naive, around the time of the comment I'm replying to, but I'll take some solace in the fact that I was at least partially right about the blackmail.)
...........
Goddamnit... I hate how right she is... but she's right.
Even when they return her Arcana back to normal, I hope she keeps a bit of this edge. I was worried at first, but I'm happy that she's still helping them, even if she's doing it in the bitchiest way possible.
And about Canterbook being expanded to the junior high school now... Who made THAT call?
5968281 Let me clarify: You're making a lot of assumptions about the nature of Fluttershy's working relationship with Sunset Shimmer. Particularly in your assumptions that Fluttershy has been "trained" by Sunset.
Without giving away too much (and really, I shouldn't even be saying THIS much): these are extremely flawed assumptions. "Fluttershy has been under Sunset's control all this time" does not equal "Sunset made Fluttershy what she is."
Just something to factor into your logic.
"You idiots do know how to make plans, right? Because LEEEEEROY JENKINS isn't a plan, and that's what you always seem to do."
...At least they have chicken.
Just something I've thought of: We still don't know if Sunset's actually in direct control of Zodiac and the Horoscope Shadows. It's just the best explanation we have for why they're targeting the dorm residents.

Let me give you a tip, as a friend:
You don't need to hit the "enter" key each time you run out of space in the line. If you reach the end of the comment box, the text will automatically jump to the next line, without the need of hitting the Enter Key.
The Enter Key is used mostly when you finish a paragraph. Always.
That way, your comments won't end up being twice or thrice the length they are supposed to be and people will find your comments more enjoyable.
5969584 TL;DR and please follow Scorpius' advice. I can't actually respond to any of your arguments or assumptions without giving away major spoilers, but I will say that you are working off some extremely flawed assumptions. This, coming from the author, means you need to go back and re-examine your assumptions and your logic and see if maybe you might be missing something.

Yes, press enter after each paragraph, not after each line.
5964437 Turns out I was wrong, there is one more that is reversed...

Dun. dun. DUNNN!
Seriously though, it's probably just so the Shining Armor and Cadance figures can be shipped together. Likewise, Funko encourages you to ship Fluttershy with everypony! (Except Cadance)
5968313 I'm just going to make a guess at what Fluttershy is. Spoilered, because it ties into the bit I know about Persona 3.
Fluttershy is pretty much Aigis in this story. She's some kind of artificial intelligence created with the dangers of Zodiac in mind. That's about all I know about Aigis, so it's pure crackpot theory from here on out.
Like all computers, Fluttershy can become infected with viruses, naimly, Eris. Whenever Flutters is in Zodiac, Eris takes control and goes on her murderous rampage. Notice how Fluttershy hasn't tried to kill Flash and the others, despite having every motive and opportunity to. She had no problem killing the team in Zodiac.
Just as another theory, I recall Cadance mentioned that Fluttershy's Zodiac sign didn't appear last year. Maybe instead of killing her, it fused to her in a way, corrupting her Persona.
5967165 I wonder how Zodiac knows the birthday's of all the victims? What would happen if, say a hacker got into Canterbook and changed Sweetie's birthday in the school records...
5971849
Are you sure about that?
Quoted from 1/3 (Su):
Fluttershy is Aries, not Leo.
Anyway, your theory about Fluttershy is...amusing...
5971949 Ah, it was Leo. Sunset Shimmer is a Leo, correct? And ZIT was attacked by a pride of Shadow Lions when they tried to ambush Fluttershy the first time. I'm guessing Sunset had something to do with that.
So Cadance managed to save Aries' victim. I think she would have mentioned something if that victim was Fluttershy. Going off of that, assuming someone can only enter Zodiac for the first time on their Birthday, Fluttershy must've already been to Zodiac by then. Considering Aries is still alive, Fluttershy didn't win, but she did escape somehow (Flash needs to put those pieces together and ask what happened). She may or may not have awakened a Persona. I still think Eris corrupted her somehow, but it's possible that she possesses an ability similar to Cadance. Perhaps Sunset 'saved' her in Zodiac, and she spent enough time doing Sunset's dirty work for the Blackmail on her to build up.
I'm going to throw out another idea. What if Juan is really Fluttershy's Dad or Grandfather. He could've been the one to teach her coding and the intricate details of networks. It would explain how she knows how to do so much inside Canterbook, a system based on the network Juan helped design.
Another thing I forgot to mention is Aigis' ability to talk to animals. Another trait she shares with Fluttershy
LEEEEROY JENKINS is a totally legit plan. That's how I do Smash Bros. and Call of Duty.
You know when you think about it, “LEEEEEROY JENKINS” is kinda a plan...a suicidal plan...but still a plan.
It is too a plan... just not a very good one... god it’s gonna be like planning a Destiny raid isn’t it?
