Glittershadow is probably the most forced Shipping in the fandom due to the fact the fact that about 1440 of it is made by a single artist
Maybe. Her mannerisms also.
So it sounds like Trixie got pretty lucky, all-in-all?
@Philweasel
Cadence would have definitely appeared again
@That Little Faggot with the Earring and the Makeup
Sad to say, she’d probably have come back a lot more interesting a character if she hadn’t come back stapled to that character :/
@Philweasel
I think her being a legitimately sympathetic character played a big part in it too. Like, she was WAY more sympathetic than the characters bullying her or the characters who brought the ursa to town :P
@Badumsquish
I’m still not sure if it was intentional that Trixie would come across as so sympathetic.
People who think she was as bad a person as the show tried to make her out to be are pretty rare, and even most of them agree getting her cart smashed was too severe of payback for what she actually did :P
The big thing that absolves her of a LOT of guilt is the ponies begin heckling her the second she begins the performance, before she’s done anything wrong, and all of her ego-tripping and bullying is retaliation.
failing to back up a claim isn’t even on the same level of “undeserving of sympathy” as how awful and cruel of an act it is to drag a dangerous wild animal into town so you can watch someone beat it up D:
@Background Pony #624A
The real problem is that “You are 100% responsible for any and all wrongdoing despite outside factors and deserve severe retribution for it” mentality does not mesh at all with any other event in the series (not even with the other wrongdoing in that same episode). By that logic, even IF Starlight’s backstory was sympathetic, she deserved to be shot in the face with a AK-47 :P
