And was it necessary to spit hate in my face just for that? I went through worse stuff than you think.



Don't ask for details, though.



And yeah, the Cupcakes fanfic did what you just experienced too.
ALIAS's "fuck you bitch!" response was clearly a joke.

I'm sorry Nemet, but the way you're using the fact that you were bullied as an excuse to justify being over-sensitive kind of ticks me off. I went through my own shit, yet you don't see me saying stuff like "guys staaahp people were mean to me so you need to be super sensitive around me". It just makes it look like you're begging for attention and peoples' pity.

While the case is totally opposite, ya know.

Either way, no point in discussing this. It won't end well, like with the other days.

And I was not referring to my bullying this time.

Then why do you make it sound like you suffered from some life scarring event and talk about it all the time, yet you claim that "you don't want to talk about it" when it's brought up.
Then this reared it's ugly head!

You know I suddenly feel like venting out one of the aspects of why I love the show's characters so much.

Pay attention to the way the CMC interacts with the Mane 6. The CMC will treat the Mane 6 as elders viewing them as being very skilled in whatever they do, and at life in general. The Mane 6 will in turn also give them advice like any proper elder would. In short the CMC will treat the Mane 6 like they are epic ponies who know very, very much with a lot of respect. You can feel this whenever they are on-screen together.

In reality though, the Mane 6's character traits can very well just be as fragile as the CMC which shows that even though they are more senior, experienced ponies, they very much still have frustrations, problems, and flaws of their own. The CMC will most of the time however be oblivious to these flaws except perhaps when they are disagreeing, or arguing. However, whenever you remove the CMC, and leave the Mane 6 up on screen by themselves, you can clearly see that they aren't as perfect as their interactions with the CMC makes you feel they are.

The reason I love this particular aspects of characterization so much is because it's a realistic, and relateable one. Speaking from personal experience as a senior member of my community service club, when I first entered as an in-experienced novice, I would view my more experienced elder club members as near gods who had answers on how to solve every problem I ever ran across. They frequently denied it claiming that they weren't as epic as we novices made them out to be. I always thought they were just being humble. Now after a few years when I myself am a senior club member do I realize that while I have loads of experience, I have my flaws, and am in no means perfect. This reminds me very much of the feeling I get from interactions between the CMC, and Mane 6.

That's just me. Even if it seems queer. We can continue in PM.
I dunno if this game is your cup of tea, but here's a PvP(Ponies vs Ponies) game made by Artix entertainment(They made Adventure Quest) It's a MLP spoof game. It's...interesting. I wouldn't say it's the best game I've ever played, but it's better than most flash.(You have to create an account to play)
