Man! Tempest could have electrocuted Glitter Drops. Just like what she did to Grubber and Verko. But she didn’t.

this anger is from trauma that wasnt properly let out. she’s not a filly, she’s an adult who felt like her life was ruined because the incident which could have been prevented in so many ways. she uses this anger to teach her friend the impact of the scenario and how her friend was too inconsiderate to help.
 
its a very interesting scenario at that, its just a scene that plays out to show where both ponies stand and unfortunately tempest’s friend failed to understand while tempest failed to forgive.

Is there any reason to believe that such a device exists or can be made?
 
Also, I doubt that simply getting the horn and sticking it back on would have helped – unless it’s done within a very few minutes, usually less, of the accident, a body part usually can’t be successfully grafted back on – especially a complex one, and especially if the break wasn’t clean or if it was contaminated after being cut off. A thumb may still be attached minutes after being cut off, an arm is quite a different story… a horn? If I had to guess, the physical difficulty of stitching hard bone and horn back on, combined with the fact that unicorn horns are likely very complex organs, likely means that even if Tempest had gone back into a dangerous animal’s den to grab the horn it would have done her very little good.

Tempest, shut up. Enough with the woe is me crap. Like it was fun mocking you for being an edgelord character, but now this is just getting annoying.
 
Your horn was broken at a young age. Now a smart filly would go tell their parents about the incident and have a device made for crippled unicorn that substitutes their magic. But of course for some reason you didn’t.
 
YOU chose to abandon your home, your family and friends all because of your unstable crippled magic.
 
YOU chose to join Storm King’s army for no a stupid reason. Hello? Have you forgotten that you left your horn in the cave? Why don’t you just go back there and retrieve it?
 
What’s that? You’ll have to face an Ursa? Shouldn’t be a problem since you’ve claimed that you faced armies, and soon princesses. By the way, you only fought few idiotic soldiers, not an army.

She was calm throughout Part 1. She just has a real ax to grind with Glitter.
 
Plus, you know, she was just reduced to a cowering heap like 2 seconds ago by an ursa.

Where is her nice, calm-side? Tempest was reformed, but  
are we sure she, as of now, has her calm side?

Oh yeah Tempest, show this little nothingness, who’s the boss here!

Reminds me of this for some reason…
 

Tempest realizing she can’t hold her friends accountable for their actions as children and breaking down sobbing in 3… 2…

 
That’s very interesting wording on Tempest’s part. Not “you do not get to save me”, but “you do not get to save me now”. I can see what Tempest might be thinking here – Glitter wouldn’t save her or help her when she was a vulnerable foal that did need saving, so how does she think she has a right to rush in to play the hero now, after all the damage her actions have done and after Tempest managed to become someone strong and capable of looking after herself? You wouldn’t help me when I needed your help, but now you act like I’m a filly in need of rescuing?
 
Of course, this is all somewhat undermined by the fact that she was frozen in helpless terror and kinda did need someone to drive the Ursa away.
 
@Mr. Horrible  
Ooh. That’s some very interesting analysis there.

Tempest you just been saved by your old friend from your own nightmare that you yourself cannot even moved at all.

Ok, Great comic!!!  
You know, if there was a character that was like “The Joker”, and if he were in front of Tempest, I think this would tell Tempest:  
“No Tempest, it is you who should open your eyes, hide behind your past actions, only to see yourself brave … when in reality you are a coward….who speaks who has seen the truth of the world…when in reality it is only a foal that when looking at the abyss … you just blinked …”
 
I don´t know why I wrote that, but I feel that on the next page, Tempest will reconsider and then start thinking the same …

I like the potential this has. Tempest spent her entire life being angry and resentful at Glitter Drops, and used what happened as a justification for the things she did for the Storm King. But for that to work, she needed Glitter to be the monster that she remembered; She needed her to be the kind of person who’d abandon her friend to an Ursa Minor and selfishly leave them behind and move on with her happy life. So when she goes back and Glitter is kind and apologetic and wants to make up for what happened, all of a sudden she doesn’t have someone she can blame anymore.

>She needs to open up her eyes.
 
Yesssss, I’m loving the hell out of this.

Should have known better then to expect gratitude from someone who enslaved her people and sold the sun and moon and thus control of the world to a phycho for her own selfish gain.

Tends to happen when one loses their horn and gets ostracized by their own kind afterwards.

Girl you got issues

It seems like it’s always the hardened survivors and ultra-competent people who take being helped when they need it the worst. I can get why, though.

@Dirty Bit  
Who knows what’s gonna happen next.

This is rather cathartic despite the blatant tension.

In hindsight, this probably wasn’t the best laid-out plan Tempest made.
