Sunset Shimmer Thread

Because she deserves a thread dedicated to her too!  
 
 

I love Sunset Shimmer. She’s been my second favorite character for years now and that hasn’t come close to changing.
 
However, I wish she was explored better while she was a villain. She could’ve been very interesting.

With as many fans and little to no detractors Sunny has, is this thread really necessary? I mean I’m fine with it existing, but I thought this sort of thing exists somewhere already.

@MegaAnimationFan  
So people aren’t allowed to make threads about things they like?

@LightningBolt  
That’s not what I said, nor was it what I meant.

@MegaAnimationFan  
As far as I know there’s no thread dedicated for Sunset. That’s why I created this one.

@100SGX  
Really? You’d think with as many people worshiping the virtual ground she walks on, there’d be tons

@MegaAnimationFan  
Trust me, I did some search on the forums. And surprisingly there’s not a thread for her.

@100SGX  
Huh. Well then, disregard everything I said! lol

I assume Angrybrony intended for the EQG General to be a Sunset worship thread as well.

@Chrys  
Well too bad THAT didn’t work lol. Also don’t say his name, you’ll summon him!

Alright people let’s get on topic. I made this thread for a reason.  

@100SGX  
Alright, alright. Sorry lol. Here, I’ll be a good sport and post a Shimmy picture.

@MegaAnimationFan  
Now that’s the spirit :)

@MegaAnimationFan  
True.

What I really love about Sunset is that she’s the only pony who has fully adjusted and embraced human life. The fact she’s just so talented and interested in so many things in her new home really makes me admire her, like she broke new ground in ponykind.
 
That being said, one thing about this that I really wish they eventually tackle - does she ever get homesick? Does she ever think back to her time and wonder if she really did miss out on a great life, to the point where she debates moving back for good? This seems like something that should be addressed at some point. I know Friendship Games had a deleted subplot regarding this, but frankly I don’t think that would have done the idea justice. I feel an idea like this deserves a more all out treatment.

Before anyone gets any ideas, I like Sunset fine. She a good character and I enjoy her arc. That being said, I’ve seen better, even in MLP. Still, my personal issues don’t get in the way of liking her. If I did’t like her I wouldn’t have included her in the sequels to my crossover “Reformed Bad Guy” group.  
 

 
Or this picture right here  

@MegaAnimationFan  
Don’t worry, haters are not allowed here and you are clearly not a hater. I don’t think people will get those crazy ideas on you.

@100SGX  
You sure? Because I have quite a few big issues with her writing and think she’s overrated to the point of rivaling Luna in that category. I think anyone can easily twist that around and make me look like one.

@MegaAnimationFan  
Just try to keep it cool here, because trust me as we both are really defensive with Starlight everyone can be with Sunset, and I hate seeing drama anywhere.

@MegaAnimationFan  
Maybe don’t write that or be in the application thread about Sunset then. Might want to go to the opinions thread for that. Just saying.
