They’re all so good

rainbow fash is pure fetish fuel

No wonder Rainbow Dash has been in so many fanfics. She can be any of her friends.

In memory of Rainbow Dash, who ‘Always dresses in style’

My Little Rainbow, starring:
 
Rainbow Dash as Twilight Sparkle, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, and Fluttershy
 
And Spike as Rainbow Dash
 
Based on a true story

@hentaispyder  
Spikeabuse is a sign of a good episode.

@hentaispyder  
I knew some were going to be upset about the Spike gag.
 
Yet, I think Dashie had more painful physical comedy inflicted on her this ep’ then he has all season.

@Philosopher Stone  
I couldn’t finish it. The moral was be yourself and speak up when other bully you. That meant nothing was going to change because at the end Dash would have just been herself. It felt like a Throw-away episode. Plus it started poorly with more Spikeabuse. After being a Dragon Lord…

@Gyroido  

I can definitely relate to the bullying. And yes, time goes on, and with any luck you can put the name calling and insults behind you. That being said, even if Dash has not gotten over the teasing she endured in her youth with that particular name, the Wonderbolts certainly didn’t realize what kind of baggage it had for her. As they explain later, the embarrassing nicknames are kind of a thing for them, and they all have ones just as bad or worse. Had Rainbow bothered to talk about the issue rather than immediately leap into trying to fix it, the whole issue might have been cleared up right away. Still I can’t say that’s out of character for her either, since a big part of most Rainbow Dash stories is the fact that tends to avoid dealing with her emotions by engaging in (often dangerous) action. Heck, she’s even improved in this episode a little, because she actually tells her friends what’s wrong when they ask her, which might be a first for her in the series so far.

As odd as it sounds, I actually liked that scene. I didn’t see it so much as her trying to exactly copy her friends, I saw it more as her trying to emulate the things most ponies seem to like them for. Her Pinkie Pie impression tries to capture Pinkie’s boundless enthusiasm and excitement for new things. Her Applejack impression is about honesty and an appreciation for hard work. The Twilight imitation is all about looking for ways to improve their performance as a team and offering her knowledge to help in that process. Her Fluttershy just wants to help because she cares a lot about the team, and even though I think her Rarity is the weakest one, she still draws on her friend’s love of fashion and talks about appreciating the bold designs of the uniforms. Granted, it’s not a great solution to her problem, but at the very least I think I can see why she chose those characteristics.

Well if being a Wonderbolt doesn’t work out she can always become an impressionist

@CranberryRodent  
Someone already said that!

I guess you can call that the “rainbow six”

@Splinter  
I was literally the most bullied person in my school, I know what it’s like, thank you very much. And no, I don’t care if they call me what they used to call me, because at least I can get over something. I stopped caring about trivial shit that doesn’t matter, and I’m pretty sure a lot of other people did too. Rainbow Dash was oblivious to it being a term of endearment, making the whole plot of the episode down to her ineptitude to take a joke.
 
Not to mention, the whole “changing personalities” thing was really forced in. Yes in order to stand out from the crowd, you need to be the exact copy of someone else, good job. I don’t know how she managed to get to that conclusion, unless it’s literally just her being stupid again.
 
I can kind of see where her worry is coming from, but her solution to it just made no sense. It felt really forced.

That was so funny ! I loved it !

@Philosopher Stone  
Again, wish I could upvote. I too paused it over and over to take a breather.

8 Faces of Dash

Imagine Rarity and RD having an AJ-impression competition.

@Gyroido  
I wonder how would you handle if someone was calling you with insults from childhood. Anyone who was not bullied in school can not understand in what situation RD was in this episode.

Would it be mean if she also did Derpy?

The many faces of Rainbow Dash.

@Background Pony #ACB3  
They shouldn’t have started with Pinkie. Hers is so different it took me a moment to realize she was trying to look like Pinkie. And AJ’s isn’t that different from Rainbow’s normal look.

@Orangie1984  
Nope it’s the Rainbow Six! 😝😜😟😐😑 I’ll just be leaving now

Is this supposed to be the “Rain” Six? =P

I can’t quite place it, but that Pinkie Pie Dash is creeping me right the yay out.

@TheOtakuX  
the joke just “flew” over your head, right? ;D
