Frozen dinners can be nice, but damn…

maybe it’s just my personal definition of badass

@GlacierFrostclaw  
I just looked at that tag, and while I didn’t review every image, most of what I saw was pretty badass.

You could flash freeze your fresh pasta, microwave it and hand it over to Spike as freezer pasta

@Background Pony #A4A1  
a little off-topic, but kind of like the “badass” tag? most of the stuff with the “badass” tag isn’t badass.

Starlight’s been trying to improve her cooking for ages in this series. It’s a nice little detail. I remember the first thing she made Spike was pudding with a strand of her hair in it, lol.

@Background Pony #5D9A  
But Spike is generally a good chef.
 
Also, the fact she actually did put effort on her pasta and it wasn’t terrible means something.
 
 
@Background Pony #F385  
Glimmy is sure very tenacious. Moondancer was right, this won’t end well.

Apologize now, Spike!

Become a better cook, Starlight.

I think the best way for Spike to apologize to her is by cooking a meal for her, she’ll probably agree with him and say the frozen dinner tastes better than the food they cooked for each other.

@Background Pony #29AB  
The bad cooking tag is misleading and unneeded. He didn’t react with disgust, he simply preferred one over the other. He even had to think about it for a moment.

It’s when I see that “bad cooking” tag that makes me feel this comic would’ve benefited from the six panel structure instead.
 
First panel: Have Twilight and/or Moondancer walking away complimenting Starlight on her cooking dinner.  
Second Panel: Give her the devious look saying something like “And now for the real test” while taking out a second plate; dish “A”. Then let the comic commence as normal.
 
It doesn’t make Spike looking any worse but now it paints Starlight in a more sympathetic light because we know she actually made something delicious, just not more delicious than frozen food. With the connotation of “bad cooking” the effort and guilt tripping just makes Starlight look even more desperate and pathetic, which may be exactly what is intended, but really that just seems needlessly cruel to her.

It wasn’t a fair fight. Prepackaged food is loaded with ingredients designed to hit buttons that add up to “satisfying” despite their bland underlying product.

Damn

No, comparing Starlight’s pasta to Lily’s pasta is how you start a war.

Hope this means there’s still a glimmer of hope for Sparlight in this comic universe.

Oof.

Well, that’s the chance you take, Glimmer. Don’t put your foot in the trap unless you’re prepared that it might go off.

RIP

This is how wars are started
