It’s alright.

okay so I watched the Premier

is Starlight meant to be a parody of those white women on sit coms?
 
the way she talks and Hairstyle reminds me

It’s like Applejack said in the season 5 finale near the end. They couldn’t just let Starligh Glimmer walk off on her own after what she tried to do. She could have easily went back to her old ways or became even worse. They had to reform her.

@09MurphyM  
That’s what I said!!!!!

@ILoveMyoozik  
does Starlight ever Change her Soccer Mom hair?
 
it’s literally all what I can think of when I think of her after watching that episode for the first time

@Broken Adam  
Her mane style when she was evil or her new one that I have on my profile?

@ILoveMyoozik  
her first hairstyle
 
it triggers me

@Broken Adam  
Don’t worry, by the next season premiere, it changes, so it doesn’t stay that way forever.

other than her haircut she was actually good as a villain , especially given how I wanted there to be a “normal pony” villain for a long time , and she pulled it off decently being a threat to the main six without it feeling too forced
 
the Collectivist Cult was creepy without being too dark for the show too , I liked how it was totally random ponies who saved the day at the end

@Broken Adam  
She was fine at the start of season five, but it’s all downhill from there, including the episode quality between then and now.

@DarkStars  
Don’t tell him that. Let him judge for himself

@MegaAnimationFan  
It’s almost guaranteed to end badly.

@DarkStars  

 
What, he realizes that all the hate is ridiculous and overblown, and that she’s a pretty entertaining character with good episodes?
 
That would be pretty bad for you.

Most of Starlight haters out there want Starlight to be evil again and defeat Twilight
 
Tbh, I’m REALLY SICK with that kind of headcanon

@Broken Adam  
Evil Starlight is basically 50’s housewife Barbie.

@Azyrite  
I wanted to write a short darkfic based on that edit.

@Josh103  
It seems well suited for a dark comedy what If story. If you ever get around to writing it, I’ll give it a read.

@Azyrite  
I once wrote one for Twilight’s little accident in Feeling Pinkie Keen. I like giving comedic moments darker “twists” and vice versa.

@Azyrite  
Okay, this made me chuckle. I’m a fan of bad endings.

@Azyrite
 
At least the rock actually managed to do ANYTHING to the throne in this reality.

@ILoveMyoozik  
I am a fan of u
