Tryin my hand at some shading with this Wallflower funny. Gonna keep experimenting some and see where it goes.

On why people are so hard on Wallflower, I think part of it comes from how redemptions in EQG were starting to get repetitive around this time, with Juniper and Vignette in particular being seen as the worst among the villain redemptions with being too rushed.

Plus her motivation being seen as too weak. The face she only lashes out at Sunset for "ignoring her" does feel a bit weak considering how everyone else (Trixie clearly showed she ignores her all the time and even the nicer characters like Pinkie and Fluttershy still ignore and forget her) did the same thing, so why would Wallflower only be mad at Sunset specifically for that if everyone else did the same thing? I do think if they had sorta tweaked Wallflower's motivation from "You ignore me so I'm gonna ruin your friendships" to "You bullied and humiliated me so I'm gonna ruin your friendships", it'd probably be seen as a smoother backstory with less flak. And it is even hard to figure out how much of Wallflower's being ignored was the others' fault and how much was it self inflicted considering she states she always used the Memory Stone to wipe everyone's memories of her all the time so her being ignored is partially her own fault too.

Probably. Anyways though.

They're more of antagonists to me compared to First Movie Sunset, Principal Cinch, Filthy Rich and maybe KL and SZ. But whatever

Not even mad at Juniper Montage. Pinkie Pie but mostly Rainbow Dash were idiots who honestly had it coming. Like bruh did y'all remember what y'all did? Regardless of it being right and she getting what she deserved. You saw her face of contempt and later on y'all come to chat with her in the mall where she hears that annoying dance magic song haunting her. And the two basically rub it in their face her schemes got her to be an usher. Common sense machine broke (which is sad cause they've faced worse or other dangerous threats previously). The real problem though is that her ambition of a dream was taken away thanks to Sunset Shimmer and her friends was devolved into this maybe you actually want a friend by Starlight. They also ignore the part where Starlight Glimmer technically is the reason why the seven girls were about to fall into an endless void. Then Juniper Montage has to apologize first for some reason for some conflict they began to be like oh we forgive you. Like it should be the other around.

Vignette on the other is just an imbecile. I wouldn't say it was rushed for her either. She may be a scrub but she didn't know her go away device was actually like spawning people in a limited size container. She was pretty detached and didn't really have anything of friends.

I would go far as to say Supernova Zap and Kiwi Lollipop were just fugly as Abacus Cinch and Filthy Rich because Sunset didn't deserve to be time loop tormented because of some stupid Perfection Manure. Clowns didn't care and attempted to add a ban Sunset and Pinkie Pie interfering in their time loop to achieve their idea of perfection. They couldn't even like look for like another time in the dang future. 3 weeks of time torture for Sunset and they didn't care they wanted to continue til they go it right. Those dweebs had no purpose and didn't care who they were affecting. They only whined because their time loop was broken. Then they played a song with Sunset and Pinkie Pie. Now that is what rushed really is. And worse. It was not deserved at all. Heck I might even say First Movie Sunset going good suddenly feels rushed (though she's the only one who actually payed besides Montage but unlike her Twilight gives Sunset The Human 6 Pass. Thus meaning it would not be a start from scratch luck). Sometimes I'm juggling considering if Montage's was less artificial or even less rushed feeling than Sunset's ever but whatever.

Now onto Wallflower Blush. Some may wonder why doesn't she go after everyone else? Why is it Sunset? It's pretty simple if one remember what Sunset has done in the past and everything before being defeated. Like she changed but not everyone is going to simply be like I forgive you. Heck Sunset even hates how she used to be and doesn't want the past to haunt her. Songs included oof.

Wallflower, unlike everyone else, is seen as an anomaly. She wasn't as forgiving or conforming as everyone else simply because oh Sunset helped save them quad times so lets be friends now and forget. I mean that's nice but eh.

One must remember that Sunset is in association with popular girls or her defeaters. So that also makes things easier for her while also making Wallflower be like what is this crap?

However, imagine this. A person ruining you or others around you for a long time and now look they said sorry and now everyone is treating the biggest meanie well while they still proceed ignoring you entirely. Now look. Girl somehow is deemed best friends of the year with her main friends. Like no one else got this reward instead. Idk seems bias. They also didn't thank her for handing that to Sunset or rather Sunset herself at least.

The jerk rose to the top or rather she was at the top and honestly she immediately gets back at the top now that's she's good. Meanwhile you are at still in the same place. Bruh these ignorers now saluting a girl who tried to destroy a girl's way out and property and possessed y'all or us and almost destroyed her soon to be defeaters? And again all the other crap she's done (framing, threatening her pet (ugh I hate that they didn't make Spike The Dragon human), being a part of why Twilight's human world variants are no longer friends for a long time till Twilight fixed that. Fear, terror, using Flash as a means to rise, etc.) Like what kind of quick forgiveness nonsense is that? I'll say quick because all it really took was Dazzlings to be defeated in the second movie for the school instantly forgave her. Like Wallflower is definitely upset with all else. She did sing a song about it but it's just she sees Sunset as a root above all the rest. Why will be explained below somewhere.

So why not go after the jerk. There's no real difference with the others of before. Like Wallflower doesn't like that occurrence but Sunset thing can be viewed as unfair nonsense. Like imagine someone humiliating you and others for a long time, end up being the owner of your favorite products or is the mayor of your town and they just somehow stay winning oh and bonus; all those facing worse treatment or similar are now their best associates and they treat this jerk as awesomeness. Wallflower sees everyone as fooled by Sunset's change. She sees Sunset as fake but that will be explained somewhere below.

Anyways. What could be worse than a person causing terror upon the students and staff and making no one is able to rebel. And she had Snips and Snails as loyal followers to her cause. Well what if that people appear to have changed but now everyone is on her side and soon become dependent on her. And seeing her as all that. And having an iconic cast of friends thanks to Princess Twilight. To Wallflower it's like Sunset transcended from a disaster to everyone's dependency. The ultimate trick she could see that can be done by Sunset because it seems were fake to her how everyone else simply or quickly just let go.

So yeah I really don't think revenge upon a real jerk is a weak motive. I'd say Cinch Supernova Kiwi and Vignette Valencia are weaker than Wallflower's. (I'm excluding Juniper's because I feel what occurs between movie and mirror magic are too different to me (mostly cause they human six had that coming)).

Regardless it really doesn't matter if Wallflower's motive or reason is viewed as weak. I'll explain why it being deemed weak becomes a worthless take.

The thing that people tend to forget is the context, the situation, and the event. They choose when they want to claim something as weak but will ignore what I just said above. Her problem is Sunset. It was just the wrong place and the wrong time. Pretty much a ticking time bomb. What's consistent is her state of given up or feeling she has no value. People forget the part where Trixie indirectly helped reawaken the bad times with proof images on an old year book. It doesn't help that Sunset straight up forgot Wallflower was right there and shut the lights off on her. Like dude you bumped into Wallflower after singing your dang song when she's trying to get you attention for half the We've Come So Far song.

Anyways. Another thing is people fail to see things from Wallflower's side. And you know what else. It's clearly shown that Sunset is being the actual problematic one. So sad that I am unable to say that I'm surprised that it is ironically Invisible to many. Literally she's proving her right after times Wallflower was considering maybe she was wrong but nope Sunset just manages to not prove her wrong. Her actions against Wallflower aren't helping, but fulfilling how Wallflower sees herself and Sunset and others. You would think that there would be chance but somehow there's a lack of resonance or consideration still despite putting herself out there. Only to be once again Invisible or ignored and then threatened. And fools acting like Wallflower is the problem. BRUH, Sunset Shimmer is not helping. She was fulfilling. Trixie had to get Sunset to realize things but it was kind of too late and Sunset pays briefly. But as you know it ends after; Wallflower defeated Empathy Apologies Understanding Friendship blah blah blah

This is the tragic tale of when fandoms or viewers are too hero or protagonist side oriented. So much denial to the point of tricking themselves against another and the chances of seeing different are slim. It's even worse when another character canonically tells a protagonist to change your perspective but the viewer(s) like oh Antagonist must be bad they can't be actually right must find something to thrash them upon as a distraction. The protagonist or hero must always been right. I have to refuse to admit if they screwed up.

Be mindful that Wallflower Blush didn't erase the memories of everyone each time (well not known) until seeing Sunset again in Forgotten Friendship. She says only little things when she first found the memory stone. And eventually got used to it. However it's very vague. I doubt it was everyone anyways. The only time she erased everyone memories was the when she erased everyone's or her friends good memories of Sunset. You also see that she tends to bury it instead of merely keeping it all the time with her.

Again it doesn't matter if it was self inflicting as her being flat out ignored has been occurring for a long time before she ever found the stone. Here's something else. You'd think having a clean slate would make these people react different but it only showed no matter what, they would do the same thing to you or treat you the same. One could see it as it's them still. The Memory Stone unfortunately became a smokescreen meme template used for solely blaming Wallflower instead of realizing that she's been bound to the same fate with or without it. Like no one else changed their ways. Which is quite ironic considering they easily changed for Sunset.

How much of no difference of the memory stone being used is like Wallflower having the ability to ctrl z a person answering 2 + 2 as 22 but they somehow pick any number that isn't 4.

It's funny how memory stone gets claimed as an excuse to ignore all the crap that happened to Wallflower earlier because oh no now it's her fault. Let's ironically forget of everything else before. It's like oh you now put your hand in water after being dumped with hot water and you didn't know you were putting your hand there but earlier hot water keeps being dumped on your face for a long time but since you put your hand in water a few times or are used to it at times because you don't see a new day, everyone should ignore that you were always dumped with hot water on your face and it was going to happen regardless if you had your hand in water or not. It's your fault completely now for everything that the rest dumped on you.

This is the summit of what refusing to admit an antagonist can be actually screwed over does to a viewer. One must find an excuse to egg them. But you know what. Her being ignored by them is how many may do unfortunately.

The actual problem though is when Wallflower throwing herself out there and saying what's been going on with her. Everything is told and yet despite it all she was ignored. Much melancholic state already. Then imagine being grabbed and someone invaded and skimmed your memories and are acting like you are the problem after like you were considering maybe I was wrong about them because she lifted your mood up. Then her friend is like who are again? Like WHAT!? Then you put you went out your way tell what's been going on. All your feelings put out there and you discover the one who went into your memories is going through your bag. Really and asks what did I do to you I don't even know you. And then they prove you that it appears that they were a facade the whole time. HUH?! Now that's disrespect right there. Explain my life. PFT *SIGH MASSIVE* This is the real deal? Who the deemed as the best with her friends. So they are fooled by her it seems.

LOL!

Will say this. The self inflicted is not the memory stone. It's actually Wallflower staying in a toxic environment. Hmm that'd be nice. Leaving such. Still... Many don't know they could or might not be able too.

This is a Wallflower Blush hate account.

I know they forgave her.

But personally, I do not.

My heart broke for Sunset through the whole movie.

She lost all of her friends.

And almost herself.

And it would've been forever.

I'd get it if Sunny had some something to her personally.

But she didn't.

I'm not saying it's right how people treated her but Sunny was always kind to her.

Yeah she often forgot her which isn't right but so did everyone.

Signalling out Sunset and taking her friends away from her, was fucked up.

And yeah Sunsets had her own issues, but she has redeemed herself and come full circle.

The girl literally just reunited with Princess Celestia and was going to sacrifice that so her friends wouldn't lose all their memories of each other.

She's a Queen.

Idk Starlight Glimmer had an agenda, oopsie doopsie made a cult.

She still had good intentions even if... Not good.

Sci Twi was messing with magic she didn't understand and caused a rift between two worlds.

Magic + peer pressure is nasty.

Like I understand them more than I get Wallflower.

So yeah.

Don't like her.

Sunsets a better person than me I'd have rainbowed that bish to the sun.

[exogenusnova]

I really didn't think that I'd ever start smoking in high school. Even less because of a friend. I always thought I was not someone who would be influenced by peer pressure.

But for her it was easy. I really wanted to be friends with her. I enjoyed our time spent together. I was always looking forward to seeing her at school in the morning, and when she told me she was smoking of course I started smoking too. I wanted to be close to her. She was my best friend after all.

I started with vapes and then with cigarettes.. and now I got a glo. I got addicted to nicotine. I can't stay one day without smoking now, even if I don't have my friend anymore.

It started when she got a boyfriend. She started spending less and less time with me. Our calls became shorter. We stopped hanging out after school because she had to go out with her boyfriend. Now, our messages (if she even has time to text me) revolve around school and homework.

I feel forgotten. I still have friends tho. It's not that I was left completely alone. But I really wanted her to be my friend for some reason. I felt like we were made to be friends. But I guess I wasn't her best friend after all.

[thehappiliysadgirl]

You say I m important to you and you don't want to loose me but I see you are not doing anything to win me ,make me stay or not even giving me a commitment.

How can I stay ?

Back to Equestria Girls before we get to the final season. Also why is the Youtube version called something different?

The special begins with the Full Equestria Girls theme song. It's alright and fits them, but not my cup of tea. The special begins properly with Sunset Shimmer taking pictures for the Yearbook, in Song form. This also shows clips of the previous movies. And everything is on a digital camera, so remember that. We also see Wallflower Blush, the obvious villain of this story. She knew Sunset Shimmer since 9th Grade, the beginning of High School. 

So something I didn’t ask in the old review is when did Sunset Shimmer switch places? I picked pre-High School but there could be implications that she came after Freshman Year. And how long have they been in High School? Sunset won three dances out of four we know, but were they all within the year? And her Freshman Yearbook said she won biggest meanie, which again questions how did she win so many times prior to Twilight if the entire school voted for her to be biggest meanie! But let’s move on...

Since they’re working on the Yearbook, Trixie comes in to complain about her spot in it while the others plan on taking a picture at the beach. But when everyone is asleep, something magical happens. And the next time we see Sunset and the Girls, everyone forgot about everything after Sunset’s reformation. Which kind of leads to another problem. I did complain about it last time, but they have so much information about the previous events. 

Even if Sunset is an expert hacker and photshopper (which she ain’t), they have so many pictures together even if this was a year after the first movie. There’s so much evidence to support Sunset being their friend. And looking at the movie again via the youtube uploads, there’s even more questions. She has a Geode, just like them. They have to think something is up with that. All she has to do is say, “think of a number, any number” and prove her thing is legit. Plus, it showed that she was erased from their memories. Thus she could ask them about certain events where her involvement was necessary. Like two of them came from the fight against Midnight Sparkle and the Sirens. She was a vital part of stopping them. They have to remember things beyond “I remember you yelled at me.”

Luckily for Sunset the reach of this magic only resides within this universe, as she writes to Twilight about what’s happening. Back in Equestria, Twilight takes Celestia to find out what happens, since she’s so old she may recognize such magic. After an apology which honestly is the best reason to see this particular short, they go to the hidden library within the library to try to find the source of this memory disappearance. Twilight finds the Memory Stone, which can erase memories, even only parts of them. 

Back with the girls, another problem comes up. Sunset Shimmer is the President of the Yearbook Committee with Rarity being Vice President. Does she not wonder what was up with the memories during their time together? Sunset got erased, so all they remember is the Freshman year stuff. They don’t get magically replaced with false memories. Even Rarity remembers the conversation yesterday but not the details. 

Back with Sunset, she decides to go back to her world with hopefully that knowledge to convince them while Twilight looks for more information. It didn’t work. But it made Sunset suspect Trixie is the one behind it. We see Sunset’s Anger issues pop up again during all this, which is her biggest character flaw. More on that later. While Trixie doesn’t have it, she’s the first one to empathize with Sunset’s current situation. After all, she knows how it feels to have an idea of yourself when everyone else sees differently.

Trixie helps, as long as she gets a spot in the Yearbook. That’s good because on the third day the memories are gone when Sunset hits. Too bad Sunset doesn’t know this. Trixie does her best, but let’s face it she’s also affected by it so she wouldn’t have a clue. When looking over who they asked, they find out that they didn’t ask Wallflower Blush, who is right there. And she knew Trixie since Third Grade. 

And just in time to find out she has to destroy it before the memories are gone forever. And the Rock Formation it was buried in just so happens to be the same one pictured on Wallflower’s computer. With her memory powers, she finds out Wallflower is the culprit behind the Memory Erasing. She did it because she felt ignored and thinks Sunset hasn’t changed. During a song, she explains why she did what she did. But in the meanwhile, we got the camera recording the events and Sunset trying to look in Wallflower’s bag for the stone. 

She sadly failed the roll and Wallflower used the stone to erase the confrontation and lock them in the Yearbook Room. Luckily she prepared and knows what’s up. Though Trixie kind of sees her point. That it is not enough to not be mean to a person, you have to be nice. And throughout the episode, she was not being nice (at least unintentionally). Thanks to Trixie, Sunset escapes, proves to her friends the truth, took a bullet for them, and destroyed the Memory Stone just in time. 

Wallflower basically said she used it to erase bits of awkward moments, basically any public speaking, so the theory is this is why she was so easily forgettable. They apologize and everything seems back to normal. Even Trixie got her spot in the Yearbook. And Wallflower is making new friends, including Rose and Muffins. While it is fun, specifically the Pony scenes and Trixie being a great character, this is a very difficult special to watch. Sucks because Sunset is back to square one and also the various logical holes they seem to ignore to carry on the story.

This would be a completely different story if they were to use more logic. Maybe I’ll make an extended version of the GLAB version in the future.

DAY 71: shy

[plumsaffron]

Bruh peeps convincing themselves that Wallflower Blush originally intended to erase all of Sunset Shimmer's friends memories or deserved to be punched in the face because she disrupted Sunset redemption completion or saying all her fault cause she used memory stone.

None of this was originally intended. The events are influenced based on each situation. Originally it was to teach her a lesson because she sees her as fake and the rest as fooled (and unfortunately thanks to Trixie for unintentionally giving a reminder which started this Forgotten Friendship story).

Yes please punch the girl. It would look beautiful after Sunset made Wallflower possibly think she might have actually changed because she actually thought the garden thing would be okay to include. Only for really Sunset did it to distract Wallflower to get close and grab her arm and go into Wallflower's memories. Yes please punch the girl who's mind has been invaded. Please seek that when she decided even after the memory skimming invasion that she would tell Sunset and Trixie Lulamoon what's been going on in her for so long. Already she's not okay, clearly in that giving up low feeling that there is hope for herself reminds consistent. What's said is consistent as the skimmed memories. Only for her to discover they ignored hearing her out with Sunset doing the worst in this case again as she discovers she's been going into her bag. Then Sunset's like what did I do to you. I don't even know you. Oh dear. Sunset forgetting her history really sucks even if she's a better person now or rather forgetting previous movies or specials (especially Rainbow Rocks). Then how Wallflower sees Sunset makes Sunset triggered but unfortunately her deciding to become aggressive only reinforces what Wallflower see's Sunset as truly unchanged, only feigned. Then later on Sunset understanding and trying to reach her was a bit too late and the environment with her friends in the background doesn't help either. Wallflower is irritated because it appears nothing she did mattered cause it appears Sunset always had a way of averting things. That's why Wallflower decided to go after previously erasing their good memories to all of her friends high school memories. So Sunset would experience what it's completely like to be Wallflower.

Blah blah blah she disrupted Sunset's work of being finally redeemed. Good she disrupted it cause it actually helped Sunset in the long run facing the ghosts of her past and overcoming the ultimate representation of the ghosts of her past, Wallflower.

It doesn't matter of her memory stone getting carried away confession. She's been invisible and treated as such way before the memory stone was found. Why is that so difficult to accept that the stone was mere a small snack finally consumed after years of a main course consumed reoccurrence (that's probably been since at most, possibly the 3rd grade)?

Splendid. Do get mad a Wallflower after deciding to open up about her past and retaliating after being ignored by who should be listening and Wallflower being reinforced again in her eyes of what she sees as true. Also shame cause she was trying to get Sunset's attention while Sunset was busy singing earlier in time.
