Every action taken is like dropping a pebble in a pond, creating ripples that extend ever outward. Every choice has consequences, good and bad... Putting on a Crown may have changed Sunset Shimmer's life...but it also Changed two worlds...

This is fine
This fanfic made me realize that the fans write wallflower better then show writers
Maybe beacuse fanfic writers don’t have that many limitations on what to write? Or maybe just we have the benefit of having a base of a character that we can look what are its flawed and how to fix them
Those were some nasty remarks for sure. Just lie your way into a appointment only store and then go Karen on them if they question you? Yikes.
Wallflower outright admits she would rather steal someone else's work or samples and publish it without all the data than work to find her own. Thats some underhanded behavior you don't want to be around. Good thing Twi is backing up her data on a private server.

A river in Italy, I think, an idiom that means "passing a point of no return".

Its because fanfic writers have more than 22 minutes to develop side characters.
As a professional botanist, I want to point out that Wallflower is full of fetid dingo's kidneys, because new species are being discovered all the time all over the world, not just in the tropics. Are a lot of areas well botanized already? Yes, they are. But there are new species described on the regular. If there weren't, we wouldn't have journals dedicated to describing new taxa.
And the way she's going about it reminds me far too much of many of the less scrupulous botanists out there that try to scoop others on their discoveries. Trust me when I say that certain groups of plants attract "the hills have eyes eat your babies" kinds of crazies (orchidaceae, fabaceae, poaceae and any of the carnivorous plant families come to mind).
Also, Wally's being kind of a c**t.

*Long breath out*
Wallflower's arrogance and 'I'm better than you' attitude is really getting on my nerves. The way you've written her, she's insufferable! The problem with mixing arrogance with intelligence is that you're not willing to admit you're wrong.
Not only that, selfishly leeching samples from Twilight for her own project? Yeah, great friend there, Sparky... I'm glad, aided by talks with her parents and Sunset, that she's questioning her so-called "friendship" with Wallflower.
I mean, Twilight should bring up the fact that the only reason she got into CHS's greenhouse in the first place was because of Sunset. Sunset and Twilight entering CHS after hours might be borderline trespassing, but Sunset is at least a CHS student, but Wallie and Sparky doing it? Totally trespassing as well as theft. Then again what do you expect from a student of a school that considers herself superior to a public school?
It is amusing that, once again, Twilight has a 'so close yet so far" moment, this time with the berries. I mean she's technically correct that they're from Sunset's guardian's homeland, but is way off on exactly where.
And uh, Wallflower? There is someone at CHS who knows exactly what they got. And Twilight knows it.
Not surprised Wallflower wanted to name her "discovery" after herself. At least she followed the rule that you can't name the taxonomic classification after yourself...

We have plans for Trixie. *grins*

Dark magic and those wielding it dont know when to give up.
*cackles* The motivation of the Elements remains to be seen.

Many threads in this arc. They will come into play eventually.

We’re trying to make as many of the characters into real people as possible. Even when theyre toxic.

Wallflower espouses the very entitled attitude of someone who is used to money buying privilege and letting her het away with shit. When you combine that with a teenager’s attitude you have a little shit head.
11527224
There is that. Im not constrained by anything but the audience’s patience, and that can be maintained with proper narrative pacing if you’re careful.

I’m going to take all this as a massive compliment, because your reaction as a professional in the field in question is exactly what I was hoping for from this chapter. That combo of “wallflower is a stupid brat talking out her ass but also, holy shit there really are people like that in the profession and they suuuuuuuck,” was spot on what I wanted. Iwasnt sure if I’d captured it—i am very much NOT a botanist, or someone with a PhD, sooooo I was winging it with research and psychology and the few encounters ive had with jerky academics.

Yeah, Wallflower is kind of…unpleasant, arrogant, and entitled. And Twilight is starting to clue in.
…as for not naming it after herself…mmmm. You might go look up the scientific name for wallflowers. >.>

Clever!
And scummy on Wallflower's part.

You're welcome. Like I said, there are certain groups that tend to attract those kinds of d**k/c**t weasels. Orchids (Orchidaceae) tend to be the worst, because there's a lot of financial incentives behind finding new species for the orchid trade. There's a reason that all orchids are treated as IUCN red-list taxa.
There can also be a heck of a lot of territoriality when it comes to "your" group. You want to work on… say… Clarkia? You better make sure that the current expert on the group gives you the okay, otherwise you're going to have someone with a lot of power in the community gunning for you and your research because you tried to undermine them. Sometimes all you need is to reach out and tell them that you're working on it, and they'll give you an okay. Other times, they get really pissy for trying to muscle in on their fiefdom. (Thankfully, the group I work on attracts the fun, quirky kind of crazy, not the "beat you over the head with a sack of doorknobs" crazy.)
Twilight I see is suffering from sunk cost fallacy with her "friendship" with Wallflower. Hopefully she wises up to the fact Wallflower is using her.
Her readings can't get more than a general area, but she also is measuring the growth rate in inches???
So you can say, they found the cross of a rubicon? Ehh? Ehhh?
