Headcanoning Derpy being a literal god of muffins, hearing this from the other side of the world, flying at speeds that completely outclass even Rainbow Dash just to kick her head off into space over the muffin-based disrespect

It doesn’t matter whether or not this was the first time she had hit Misty, Opaline has still been abusing Misty for some before (again, she was literally starving Misty). Also:
I don’t know if you’re trolling or not, but I really hope that if someone ever hits you you wouldn’t think “oh, but they hugged me afterwards, so it’s all good now.”

Indeed.
Misty’s initial reaction of shock about it, and Opaline’s wicked smile earlier indicated to me it was the first time.
Which led to my theory she was holding back this kind of fraction of affection as a “trump card” in the event Misty did come across any kindness. With Misty so wrapped up in Stockholm Syndrome, Opaline showing this bit of niceness, it’s likely Misty will take it as an outpouring of love and a sign of Opaline’s “love”.
What makes it especially disgusting, at least to me, is that giving some love and even appreciation costs nothing, not even costing a lot of time. Yet Opaline is like doing it as a minimum requirement, and held back, only as needed. And if this is indeed the first time, it shows how deep the co-dependency really is.

Keep in mind a few panels back where Misty tried to mention that she does try to communicate what she needs, but was cut off by Opaline. All this is deflection on top of belittling the kindness Misty received from others.

It’s not cute not at all. Did you forget that the day before Opaline a). was starving Misty and b). actually hit her (and based on Misty’s reaction, that probably wasn’t the first time either)?
Even if we assume that Opaline is being genuine right now- and that’s a very, very big if, that in no way makes up for anything that she has done.
I think it’s quite the opposite, and based on Misty’s reaction, it was the first time.

opaline knows she’s gotta pull that shit sometimes as to not lose misty. abuse victims excuse their abusers due to the ‘good memories’ they have with them @Chopsticks

So was she holding onto this sweet talk as a trump card to gain Misty’s loyalty as soon as she gets the slightest bit of affection from somepony else?

Even though Opaline is STILL fussing about the muffin and silly hairdos, it is sweet of her to hug Misty and talk to her. It makes me say:AWWWW!!!!

Of course Opaline doesnt see this as gaslighting. She see it as teaching to influence her as future co ruler of Equestria. Its just Misty is not able to become cruel and despotic and she will sooner die from this training. Opaline is demented but in some way she does see Misty as something more than a throw away tool. She’s jst disgusted with her weakness.

I think i understand what’s about to happen. Ponies from Maretime Bay will want to convince Misty to abandon Opaline while she herself will be gaslighted to defend her Drunken Dad character. The main struggle in abusive household is not getting rid of the parent, but convincing the child that they are in a bad situation and make them confess to the abuse. If this was that easy, Misty would just run away and lived anywhere else.

She isn’t wrong. Considering she suppose to one day rule entire ponykind like Celestia did, but with force. Misty might be her replacement so she want her to be as callous and relentless as she is. What Opaline wants is basically Diamond Tiara or Cozy Glow as daughter while what she sees is Fluttershy and she hates it. And that’s why she abuses her because she can’t stand weakness and meek ponies.

And this is how it starts. Opaline attempts to be reassuring. Right here and now, she’s minimizing the impact that Misty is trying desperately to feel from the kindness that Dahlia and Pipp showed her and twisting those feelings.

That was classic.
A moment like this really makes the scene complete.
What happens next isn’t hard to guess, but how it actually goes on will still be emotional every step on the way…
And I like that she is still wing-hugging her. Not the best place to have it but still pretty cute.

There certainly are. But kidnapping baby dragons for an abusive, shut-in, objectively powerless mutant is not one of them.
