#Flim and flam mlp

[bat2pony]

Do I have a RANT for you all.

I just finished watching S8 E16, “Friendship University” and the entire thing seems kind of silly to me! First of all, I was really hoping that Flim and Flam would actually aim to do better after they began running the resort in Las Pegasus. But at the same time, cons have been their thing their entire lives so it’s kind of refreshing to see people who aren’t particularly evil, they’re just kind shit and annoying as hell. But moreover, why would ANYONE, pony or otherwise, want to attend their school?

Excessive rant ⬇️

Obviously Flim and Flam are professional con artists and they did make a few good points. The legendary Starswirl the Bearded was attending their school (and using his studying as “motivation” or whatever for other students) and the school was located in a bustling city, Las Pegasus, with more opportunities than the small town that is Ponyville. This school was also accredited.

But even so!!! Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. She is an alicorn. ROYALTY. Not only is she Head Mare of her school, but it was endorsed by Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. On top of this, the professors at her school are the other 5 of the mane 6. The school is literally ran and managed by the group of friends who saved equestrian MULTIPLE times. They published their friendship journal that got spread all throughout the lands. The school is wildly successful! Why would anyone ever choose Flim and Flam’s school when they could be taught under the literal Princess of friendship? Please make it make sense. I just think it’s silly. Anyway.

On a similar note, I think other schools of friendship across the lands isn’t such a bad idea! It would make spreading the magic of friendship a lot easier and the education more accessible to all kinds of creatures! I think it would be cool if this was an idea further explored in the series.

diabolical mix of characters right here

[captainzigo]

i drew those two in ohshc uniforms in a previous comic for basically no reason. i honestly thought no one would notice but they did. the secret reason is that i hated flim and flam super a lot until one day when i decided they were kinda like those twins. i do not stand by this read of the characters, but i think its funny.

A draw this in your style challenge from over on Twitter, Uunicornicc's infection au My Little Toothache. Really happy with this :D

I also made this, what I think Flim and Flam would be doing in the MLT au, I'm thinking of making a short animatic for it, but I've got some other art to work on before I can do that (also need to find the perfect song for it too)

[chill-vibes-but-rainbow-panic]

There's just something about them that makes me happy

Love it when my media gives me a guy, and then gives me that guy again! Peak design!

[glass-breaker]

We have Flim & flam I only made small changes with them, and added some money to their cutie marks. it shows multiple times in the show that they will come up with schemes to make money.

flim flam stan bros!!

[bixels]

Oh, we've got trouble! (Oh, we've got trouble!)

Right here in Ponyville! (Right here in Ponyville!)

Why, it's those bluffin', cheating, lyin', deceiving Flim Flam brothers!

[superkirbylover]

Peppino could win a fight against any major villain solely because their plans would threaten his shop. He doesn't use magic, just rage

yeah. rage is magic i suppose

i feel like if we take this seriously though the only enemy he would NOT be able to win a fight against is discord because Lord Of Chaos

[sillystringpony]

me and my gay brother who I hate

[mimicben]

some old doodles i did of if the flim flam brothers were part of the apple family. I'd think they'd be the ones who would be manning the stall in the town center or maybe even still occasionally doing travelling sales to promote the farm.

I stand by the fact that in their first appearance the super speedy cider squeezy wasn't actually a scam, it did work. so in this i think they wouldn't be as scammy as they ended up being by the end of the show. As they're good sales men and when they have a genuine product there no need for them to lie.

exaggerate? yeah ofc, they're still themselves. But i think the contrast between the more humble down to earth fam next to the theatrical, exaggerating twin unicorns is very funny.
