Wow Flash, wow. I kind of want to smack him up side the head. Twi's not gonna be happy
Jesus Christ, Flash...
Flash, what the flick? You don't do that kind of crap when you have a girlfriend, you just don't.
Whelp, that's the THIRD FUCKING TIME SOMEONE HAS CHEATED in this story.
What I find interesting is that Sunset did not cause trouble immediately.
EDIT: Flash is an asshole. I'm both surprised and not surprised that Trixie didn't really protest, but I assume that she thought Twilight and Pinkie gave him permission.
Flash, you horny idiot. Turning around and doing what you were falsely accused of is not a good idea.
Anyway, I find myself wondering if the latest episode was any influence on this. And the thunderstorm is very appropriate, considering that lightning is Twilight's element, and her likely reaction to this.
So much for not being Cadance.

Not really, no.
hey flash
KO nice chapter, hope Flash isn't going to one of those harem craving things. That would be wired.
Damnit Flash. You were doing so well.
Wow, I've been a fan of Flash since his first appearance and even I think what he pulled was a massive dick move no pun intended. He had better hope that either Sunset keeps this between the two of them or that Twilight is VERY forgiving. I'd of though he learned his lesson yesterday.
I... don't know what to say.
Goddammit, Flash.
The worst part is, this means his shitty low blow yesterday wasn't even true, because he just acted exactly like Cadance.
...the good news is, the fact that Sunset didn't immediately run off to make the most of this is pretty good evidence that her change of heart is legit. The core of the ZIT could pretty well implode if Twilight found out the wrong way; at least Flash has a chance to fess up on his own now.
There better be a REALLY good reason for this.
It actually made me feel a bit sick for a few seconds when i reached the end part.
Great. We got another character cheating on their love interest for very stupid reasons.
...What.
Come on Flash, what the hell happened? How bad does it have to be when Sunset Shimmer goes "dude, not cool"?
Flash.
FLASH WHY?!
Pretty sure Flash is under the influence of something right now.
And now, Flash has gone from horny git, to Dick on Legs. Part of me thinks Flash has a death wish.
Flash
The fear of what you will face won't compare to the fear of facing Death multiple times for what you've done.
Edit: Other way around.
Moth, there better be an explaination at some point...
7190462 There's an explanation now. Flash is an idiot.
Hate to say I called it. And now I'm emotionally compromised.
So...theory time.
Flash has yet to max out his link with Sunset. This whole business is gonna bring them closer together and (hopefully) fix things with Twilight and Pinkie. After all, Sunset is also guilty of putting a relationship in jeopardy, even if it wasn't one of her own. Either that or he turns to Cadence for advice, help, etc.
If there's one thing I've learned about this series is that whenever someone does something bad, it comes back to haunt them. I know things are gonna get worse before they get better. Also, that horoscope and the symbolic thunderstorm aren't helping.

This. Flash doesn't seem like himself; it did not even seem like he was that way towards any of the girls at the beach. So confident, so sure of himself about doing such things with -anyone-, much less someone who is not a part of the dorm (IE someone he regularly spends time with.) I could be wrong, and he could have just snapped after everything that happened, but...that doesn't feel right.
7190532 I was thinking the same. Flash was unusally suave.
Oh, Flash, you absolute fucking moron.
Wow, Flash really rolled a critical fail there. He better be careful, else toorrow he will be drawing the Magnesium card, or worse.
Theory about the newest chapter: The desire to cheat has somehow mutated into a slow acting STD that Cadance caught and passed on to Shining Armor and Flash. Honestly, it's the only thing I can think of that doesn't seem forced or horribly out of character.
The whole chapter, I was dreading something like this. Oh, Flash...
I really hope there's some kind of external influence at work here. Or that Flash is getting punched in the near future. Or maybe both.
7190505 what I meant was more of if there was any other reason like
7190532
It just seems out of charecter
Someone just rolled a 1 on their Wisdom check.
If this was Ultima, the "THOU HAST LOST AN EIGHTH!" would be flashing on the screen at a speed unheard of save for using the Skull of Mondain.
Edit note: This is one case where I think the impression the LTE version makes is different than the FiM one, after reading the former.
YOU FAILURE!!!

Goddamit, Flash
Thanks for the mental imagery. I now have an image of Trixie as the playboy bunny lifting herself by the scruff of her neck floating around my mind. I'm honestly conflicted.
Damn...when Sunset says you've fucked up, rethink your life.
WOW Flash. I mean, I know you're an idiot, but this...this takes the fuckin' cake man.
Um... okay, something is wrong with Flash right now. I don't know what it is, but I don't like it.
He better get his act together soon, otherwise he IS going to lose Twilight.
Come on, Flash... Yes, you and Twilight are in an open relationship, but this was not the time.
You could've just banged Trixie next week.
...Or, you could've listened to Sunset.
I'm upset.
I'm upset that I'm upset.
Why am I getting so frustrated about Flash doing this?
Ugh. Gigas please, it's just a story...
But... Aaaagh.
Flash, no!
7190024
Oho! Ow.
I...there are no words. Well, other than FLASH YOU FREAKING MORONIC TWIT!
I really hope there is a better explanation than 'Flash is dumb,' though, because this did seem outta nowhere... Maybe left his persona on something other than default? Though I'm not sure which one would turn him into a stupid cheating manwhore...
Yeah, I'm with everyone else. Either something is affecting his mind, or you wrote him really out of character.
I know you said in a blogpost that you really wanted to write some porn, I'm just hoping it's the former, and you didn't just decide 'fuck character, and fuck my story' just to satisfy this urge for yourself.
I...can't find myself mad or upset at this point. It anything, I'm just confused. When did Flash fall THIS hard? I thought the party sparing Sunset would be the Pivotal moment of the story, but Flash turning into an even bigger horn dog than normal is just...odd and out of place.
What, did all the stess of the Velvet Room Shadow Battles, ones completed and those soon to come (Afterall, we haven't seen Twilight's, I believe) the mess with Zodiac, Sunset's potential tie in to the future of said Zodiac, and Red Flag make him snap inside? How much of strain can Flash make at this point before he A) outright breaks a Social Link (which I'm pretty sure is impossible to do, since its Maxed. But with the rate he's going at, if the Magician hadn't been Maxed, I'm willing to bet the Magician Link would be Broken, or at the very least, Reversed) and/or B) becomes something much MUCH worse than Sunset or even Eris?
So, is every one on the smack Flash for being a dumbass train, or the something is affecting him train? Because I want the double decker of both.
7191855 If that was the only reason for this, it would've been an "If..." chapter.
7191637 Everyone wants there to be some supernatural explanation for what happened. It's a huge point of contention and I had a long, exhausting argument with another reader about it last night. I really shouldn't have to spell things out here.
Flash is angry because he was accused of doing something he had no intention of doing. Flash is angry because he feels like Twilight thinks she can control who he spends time with and what he does. Even though they "made up", he still resents the way she acted about the pool party. What he did with Trixie was sheer spite. Because guess what? People aren't perfect. Especially people his age. They do incredibly stupid, self-destructive things for petty reasons.
The fact is there isn't always an explanation for the way people act. There isn't always a logic behind it. There isn't always a motive behind it. Sometimes, people just fuck up their own lives for no apparent reason.
The reason you, the readers, are having trouble accepting that Flash suddenly did something this stupid is because it's a realistic behavior. It's a guy with a damn near perfect life (aside from the whole supernatural thing, the living with an amoral blackmailer and murderer thing, etc.) inexplicably putting everything good in his life at risk just to score points against his girlfriend for a fight they never should have had in the first place.
It's bullshit, but it's not bullshit because "oh, Moth is trying to create fake drama". It's bullshit because Flash is a flawed character who did an incredibly fucked up thing.
And yes, folks, this IS going somewhere. It's going to be a while before you realize what the real purpose of this particular drama bomb is. It's not there to fill space. It's not there as an excuse for me to write more porn (give me more credit than that). It's not there because I can't think of anything better to write than "cheating idiot is cheating". It's there because there is a reason for it to be there.
Sorry if that came off as a bit ranty, but it's starting to feel like the criticisms of Flash's behavior are directed less at the character and more at me, the writer, and I'm not having that.
Honestly, I feel like the LTE version did a much better job of making it clear why this happened. It feels abrupt enough here that I can see why people were confused, even if it's certainly possible to infer the real reason.
...I suspect this sequence will read better when the story is complete. It's easier to accept that this happened for a reason when you can go on reading about the reason instead of stewing on it. Consequence of the format, I guess.
(But if you've been reading this far, you should hopefully have some faith in the author, too.)
7192087
Fair enough. I apologize if anything I said came off wrong or accusative. It was a real "heat of the moment" sort of thing.
Kinda like what's happening with Flash. Though a whole lot tamer.
7192087 No matter how many times people may deny it; may even try to rationalize it, humans are flawed creatures. We fuck shit up. That's part of life and even I know that to be true. Some people just don't get it. This is why I'm so irritated by people giving reasons for some of the worst shit others have ever done. No sane, rational person would ever open fire at kids having a jamboree in an island, or just being a sadistic sociopathic bully who beats on a kid for being weaker.
You know, now that I have had time to think about it: The one who's really to blame for this mess is Lyra. Freaking Lyra!
Twilight heard from Lyra that Flash was at the pool party. Which means that Lyra wasn't thinking about the whole thing and since we haven't seen the message in question, for all we know it could go:
If that's it, then Wow. Lyra has the attitude of shrugging off things and taking it casual, whereas Twilight has a tendency to take things very seriously. What seems harmless to Lyra, could be the WORST! POSSIBLE! THING! to Twi.
If Flash had come back and been given a chance to explain things, then it's possible we wouldn't be in this mess. I just hope that Sunset doesn't tell Twilight and Shining Armor doesn't find out.
I can say, this was not what I was expecting from Flash at all. Rage and the libidos of humans are certainly something dangerous.
Don't fall to the Dark Side Flash.
But yeah, even protagonists (or pretty much anyone in the world) have to fall short somewhere or some-place, and it is not/never pretty.
