This is an idea for a comic Ive had for a while but Ive been reluctant to doing it because it involves a Touhou cameo and i have had it in the past that even using the tiniest hint of touhou in anything makes far too many people automatically assume I want to start a conversation about the series when I am sick of it
I could just remove her but when it comes to people who dont understand death = bad the first character that comes to mind is Flandre so its hard not to do the joke without her
Anyhow, this is based on the MLP episode Wonderbolts Academy whereactually if you want to know about the episode just watch it, this is based on a scene from it so if anything confuses you just watch the episodebut I will explain Lightning Dust a bit
Have you ever gone to camp and there was load of people your age but you didnt know any of them but you end up becoming close friends with one of them? Well that person is basically what Lightning Dust is to Rainbow Dash, shes a nice person and to boot shes very similar to Dash…but of course the more perfect someone is the more boring they can be so there has to be flaws and one of them if that LD pushes herself to be the best and that can cause her to be reckless even more so than Dash, in fact her recklessness nearly killed the shows other 5 main characters which also links to her other flawshe doesnt know death is bad and brushed a close indirect murder pretty quickly
I still say shes a nice person instead of being purposely spiteful (epically compared to Gilda who is also like Dash but iswell.a bully really), shes just a bit morality questionable, so then I thought maybe shes been hanging with Flandre and Turbo for too long and this comic was bornwell actually I thought of throwing loads of morally conflicted characters like Ling Ling from Drawn Together but I couldnt think of anyone else and thought I should just stick with these two
If anyone here doesnt know who Flandre is then youre a bad lair because my unfortunate reputation means everyone here know what touhou isbut for the hell of it, shes an insane immortal vampire with a ridiculous amount of power and doesnt know everyone else isnt immortal like her, she goes around killing people thinking its a game not understanding death is final, so who better to be tought the wrong messages about death from
And Turbo is a character from Wreck-It Ralph (btw, great film), to explain too much of him is a spoiler to the film so lets just say he believes the most important thing in life is attention and hes willing to crush anyone in his way who dare gets in his way of that, also hes a racer meaning he loves speed just like Lightning Dust so pretty easy link there
And thats the comic
Also is there anyone else out there who likes Lightning Dust as well? Its hard to tell, I like her dispute her flaws, if she just alter her morality issues then I think she and Dash could still be friends, particularly if she realises why Dash was upset her friends nearly died and apologise for accidentally doing that
Also can I ask why people assume she got kicked out of the Academy at the end of the episode? To me it just seemed like she just got demoted for her actions but all the fans assumed the worst?…Then again the conclusion to what happened to Dash or LD arent really reviled so all we have are guesses before a later episode reveals whether or not Dash graduates or not.
I just cannot.
