Apparently, the artist doesn’t think that Flash’s mane is “fabulous”.

@HighRollerHydra  
Alright then, a swishy-swasher is the cutest name for a tail I’ve ever heard.

@Antonyourknee  
Moving on.

@HighRollerHydra  
Well like they say,the smallest spark can start off biggest fire. Don’t be surprised if seemingly mundane images spark off ideas and symbols that the author never expected or intended to inspire, such things have happened countless times in history and most of human society has been created from people making a unique connection from something you would never expect to a thought. After all how many times has a meaningless prop on the show became a popular meme or an animation error creating a favorite character ,a simple cameo sparking stark controversy. Behavior like this IS simply natural to humans.

Geez, all this talk over a cute image.

The west. Also, one dude hardly represents the US, and the US hardly represents “the West”.  
Not sure what I think of it myself, but do go on ahead and elaborate on your own position: Why so horrified?

@platypusmac  
Please don’t.
 
I’ll ask if he’ll let me post the picture here.

@HighRollerHydra  
Nice person.  
Oh, and for your info… there ARE pics where Shining isn’t trying to menace Flash. Sadly, they’re pics where he’s trying to SEDUCE him. Won’t go into detail, if you don’t mind.

@AlsoSprachOdin  
Well, I did tell him that I couldn’t find a single pic of both Shining AND Flash that didn’t have Shining threatening Flash…he drew it for me to make me feel better.

@Mooncalf  
Wonderful article. I am tired of that cliché too, and agree on your views about Flash.

I’ve noticed that Shining’s…uh…dammit, I forget what they call that part of the eye, the white part, but they’re bluer than normal every time I see him in animation.

@AlsoSprachOdin  
dm29 sent me a picture of Shining having cider with Flash, but I promised that I wouldn’t upload it. (he’s put it on his stash-thing on DeviantArt)

Shining Armor’s horn is called annihilator. Keep that in mind, Flash.

“With all due respect, sir, I’ve met her exactly once. We don’t have what you’d call a long history, sir.”  
“You were talking, and…”  
“It’s what ponies do, sir. She bumped into me and seemed embarrassed by it, so I wanted to lighten the atmosphere, sir.”  
“She’s my sister–”  
“She’s a royal princess, sir. I’m aware that some lucky stallions get to marry princesses, sir, but that doesn’t mean that every stallion tries to. There are plenty of perfectly good, attractive mares here in the Crystal Empire, sir, I have no need to shoot for somepony who lives half an Equestria away, sir. And I can’t help but notice that you’re not too concerned that she’s been living on her own all the way over there without you to check up on her, yet you’re giving me the third degree for no real reason. Sir.”  
“…go about your business, Sentry.”

And the tushie, which is still called the tushie.
 
Not everything can have a manly name.

@Antonyourknee  
“So, I heard you used to be called “Savior of the universe” and “Waifu stealer”.”  
“No, sir. Those would be my twin brothers, Flash Meme and Flash Thebronieshavetoomuchfreetime.”  
“…your parents have weird tastes in names.”  
“I know, sir.”

Flash:Uh sir…your grips a little tight  
Shining: Yeah yeah my grip,so sentry I heard your dating my little sister.  
F:! Twilight’s your sister?  
S: she didn’t tell you? She has a habit of forgetting to tell people about me.  
F: (notices coltie mark)oh yeah I…I see it now.  
S: I heard some things about you flash.  
F:?  
S: that you used to be in a band,guitarist ,that you used to be Sunset Shimmers boyfriend.  
F! That…that was a long time ago sir!I-  
S: That you use to be called ,“FlASH SENTRY SAVIOR OF THE UNIVERSE”!  
F:…uh …that…well…  
S: A stallion that seduced mares from canterlot to hoofington, a “waifu thief”  
F: …ok sir,I know where is going ,I was stupid right,I get that,but I promise twilight’s different for me.  
S:? that so.  
F: I love our new princess with all the love a stallion can give,that the truth sir . I would never abandon the greatest mare in Equestria.  
S: (smiles) Better not Flash,or I toss you off the crystal tower.  
F: But I’m a pegasus sir,I can fly?  
S: …well than if you did do something to my twiley, I’d my use annihilator to smash you to pieces!  
F:! Your what?  
S: My horn,I named to sound intimidating.  
F: sounds kinda gay outa context sir.  
S:(glares)  
F: Uh I mean very,very intimidating sir, I’m sure cadence loves it sir  
S:!!!What did you say about my wife!  
F: !uh…nothing sir I’ll just be leaving.

I don’t know why but i cant stop hearing Taokaka’s voice whenever i read these.
