“CONGRATULATIONS!!!!”

-

Flash please put the new mother horse down she’s fragile. (Twilight is fine though, she can handle it)

The couple were running everywhere trying to get back to the hospital, Coco was the only one calm in this situation. 

Flash probably crashed into a lot of stuff trying to fly when telling the princesses that SciTwi was having her baby already... Maybe this is why Flash and Sunset are really good friends.

Badass Blondes & Dorky Brunettes #05

Sunset Shimmer & (Science!) Twilight Sparkle (My Little Pony’s Equestria Girls franchise)

“I want to understand.”

I know her hair is red-orange or whatever, but there’s some blonde in there so I’m counting it. I know that brunette and purple are two different things but this is the closest I’m going to get so whatever. Valentine’s Day already past but I still have at least five more of these I want to do. I underestimated how long it would take me to write up one of these.

Back around 2011 I was a big time brony until I actually met other bronies. Then I decided it would be best to just enjoy the show at home by myself without interacting with the rest of the fandom. That being said I had a hard time keeping up with the franchise after a while. The Equestria Girls movies are so few and far between so I had an easier time there. Also they’re so much fun to riff. Go on Netflix and MST3k that shit.

Originally a one off idea to sell dolls, Equestria Girls became so popular that it spawned sequels, shorts and maybe even a series. They even changed the focus character. Instead of following Princess Twilight Sparkle the story follows Sunset Shimmer, a pony who left to another world when she felt she wasn’t getting the power she deserved. Her quest for power failed spectacularly and has since been on a quest of redemption and understanding. Enter the human counterpart to Twilight Sparkle...Twilight Sparkle. Her pursuit of knowledge leads her down to a very similar path and outcome. Now they both are trying to learn and understand more about friendship.

The Badass Blonde

There’s some yellow in there so it counts! Again. Equestria Girls. Not an action show. But you probably already knew that. And again, I might be stretching the badass moniker a bit. So what makes this on so badass if she’s not beating people up everyday?

TV Tropes describes Sunset Shimmer as The Ace. As Princess Celestia’s student she was studious and intelligent. This carries over to the human world, being top of her class and all. She also seems to be fairly athletic, able to compete in a motocross race. Sunset Shimmer has also been instrumental in defeating other baddies including Glorisa Daisy and the Dazzlings.

However, the thing that stands out the most about Sunset Shimmer is her ambition. She has a drive that continues the push her to the forefront of all of her goals. As Celestia’s student her goal was to become an alicorn princess and match Celestia. When she wasn’t getting the power she felt she deserved the fled to another world. In the human world, Sunset rose to the top of her class and the top of the social hierarchy. In a high school, but hey, we all gotta start somewhere. Now Sunset Shimmer’s drive is pushing her to try to discover how magic from Equestria works in the human world. 

She’s not without her flaws, aside from being evil and turning into a demon. Sunset Shimmer’s ambition pushes her to be more assertive than her friends which can sometimes come off as aggressive. She also has a bad habit of bottling things up when they don’t go her way. This leads her to eventually explode and lash out or yell at someone.

The Dorky Brunette

In the first movie, Princess Twilight Sparkle (again, the pony) traveled to another world where she met human doppelgangers of her friends. Then we all asked the same question: is there a human Twilight? Yes. Yes, there was. This character we call Science!Twilight or sometime Sci!Twi was introduced as a post credits stinger for the second movie. She got a complete introduction in the third movie as a major character. Now I’m not quite sure if dorky really describes her. There’s another word for it. It’s on the tip of my tongue. You know, an unstylish, unattractive, or socially inept person; especially one slavishly devoted to intellectual or academic pursuits who’s purpose is to provide monetary compensation to others who are more adept in the field of athletics for the use of purchasing their midday meal. What’s that called? Oh right! She’s a...

I love that joke. ANYWAYS, Sci!Twilight is kinda like what Twilight was like at the beginning of the series. She’s not anitsocial, just asocial. Sci!Twilight prefers studying and reading over going out and socializing. She doesn’t hate it or have a serious problem with it. She just likes one more over the other. A true introvert.

Sci!Twi tends to be more awkward, not knowing the ‘correct’ way to react to certain social situations. Her shyness can even be compared to Fluttershy’s which is a big deal because the word ‘shy’ is in her name. She’s only comfortable with people she’s very familiar with. Her goal in the third movie was to get accepted into a research program. The kind of program where you go out and do research alone. 

She also had a tendency to panic in stressful situations.  Twilight had to participate in the archery challenge in the third movie and when started crying when she couldn’t do it right. Kinda reminds me of when I was a little kid. In Legend of Everfree she was too scared to tell her friends about her magical abilities or her recurring nightmares.

She’s more open after meeting her new friends and is willing to give friendship a shot. Twilight is still Twilight though, still chasing intellectual pursuits and trying to understand how magical energy reacts in the human world. That’s actually the same thing Sunset Shimmer is trying to do, now that I think about it...

Their Relationship (Canon)

Again I have to preface, Sunset Shimmer and Twilight Sparkle are not in a romantic relationship in canon. They are just really close friends because, well, you know. Hasbro has also found it necessary to pair Sci!Twi with Timber Spruce (I can taste vomit in my mouth a little). It’s annoying and very hard to sit through. 

They have both made the same mistakes with trying to harness magic. When the rest of the group lament or joke about fighting another magical adversary, Sunset is the one who stops Sci!Twi from feeling like an outcast. Sunset is protective of Sci!Twi more than she is for the rest of her friends. Sunset was very suspicious of Sci!Twi’s love interest (I just gagged a little) until the very end of the movie. 

Sunset takes an almost mentor or ‘senpai’ role. Her ‘been there done that’ attitude is surprisingly comforting. She becomes Sci!Twi’s emotional support. Sunset encourages her and tries to be more optimistic about their new magical abilities where Sci!Twi is more reluctant.

Their Relationship (Fanon)

Fans take what they see of their relationship and dial it up a bit. Sunset Shimmer goes from being protective to being overprotective. She keeps Timber Spruce and Flash Sentry away at least at arm’s length. Twilight is portrayed as admiring Sunset’s strength. The two bonding over science becomes their PDA. 

One very common headcanon across the board is that Sunset will want to pursue an more intimate physical relationship with Twilight. Twilight is always flustered or embarrassed, but ends up going along with Sunset’s advances.

Theme Song

“Perfect For Me” by Show Me the Skyline

I got this song from an AMV of the pairing. To be honest, I’m surprised how well the lyrics match. Call it cheating, but I like it. I would have preferred a different sound but what can you do?

Thanks for reading. The next one will be...whenever I get to it?

Something tells me if this ever would happen in the show, they’d explode.

Also, I have learned the hard way about animating with layers. Always plan ahead, people

Even eggheads have pervy dreams. And a precious little cinnamon roll like Twilight is no exception.

Also, if anyone can work out the chemical reaction without looking it up on google, you win the “purple smarts” award for biggest nerd.

“So, have you told her yet?”

“I’m working on it, Twilight! It’s not something you just bring up in casual conversation!”

“Aww, you’re smitten with her~!”

“I-I’m not smitten!”

Shining Armor: Hey Twily, what about your girlfriend?

Sci-Twilight Sparkle: What? You mean Sunset Shimmer? No. She's not my girlfriend. She's just a friend.

Cadence: Yeah, but doesn't she sleep in your room sometimes?

Sci-Twilight Sparkle: Only when she's too tired drive at night. She has a motorcycle. It's dangerous. That's just what friends do.
