Holy shit it's my friends Kieran and Twilight Sparkle

Cinch had three charges in her care once, Celestia entrusted her with the day-to-day care of Prince Blueblood, the new Princess Cadence and her student Sunset Shimmer - running a kingdom is difficult enough alone without three young ponies to look after - so when Celestia is absent (often) that means Cinch was in charge of these three ponies. And while the matron of the castle was always rigid about rules and wanted her three charges to uphold her reputation and to build their own budding reputations high, she cared about them very much. You'd have to, spending your time with the same three young ponies for so long, guiding and teaching them to be their best...

By the time Ditzy came into the picture, Cinch was down to two charges. She refused to fail them the way she failed...

Well, with one down, there were two left and she cared so much she wouldn't let anyone ruin them, especially not themselves. Surely they would come to realize Cinch was only helping.

I feel like MLP did a really good job with Sunset Shimmer's Redemption Arc

Like, Sunset Shimmer wasn't nice in the first movie. And she even did something, in this case hypnotizing the students, and the Humane 6 broke them out of that state, breaking the illusion that she was unbeatable. That she couldn't be humbled.

The movie I don't think handles feelings of repentance that well because she did not seem to feel bad about anything she did to Twilight and her friends until the end of the film, when she got defeated. It looked like she was sorry she was caught.

But the second movie? Rainbow Rocks? I like the writing of that film. Sunset Shimmer is written really well. It really is about Sunset feeling repentance for her actions. At least a part of the movie is.

Sunset was not immediately forgiven by everyone, and the Canterlot High students have a reason not to. They may still have scars from what they experienced and they aren't treated as wrong for being hostile towards her! Even Twilight has trouble trusting Sunset at first. And that's good! Twilight should be a bit weary! The movie shows Twilight overtime being able to trust Sunset Shimmer.

I like that Sunset has to earn the forgiveness of others in the film, and that it's not easy. But it's treated as something that is worth doing not for the approval of others, but for herself and so she can help her friends.

Sunset had to believe that she could change, make the effort to do so, and that's what helped defeat the Dazzlings in the end.

In the beginning of the film, Sunset was kind of meek and insecure. Maybe because of the bad things she did, she does not think she gets to inject herself into conversations. The Dazzlings prey on this. Sunset tries to act like it does not bother her, but it does. It's horrible to have your mistakes rubbed in your face like that.

It's only until near the end of the film when the other girls are fighting and Twilight is a mess where Sunset interjects, and it's crucial and needed! Sunset gaining confidence and owning her mistakes and not letting them define her allows her to stand her ground against the Dazzlings!

It even helps her in The Friendship Games and allows her to make it through to Sci-Twi!

I wonder what would happen if there was someone who didn't forgive her? Like, what if in a hypothetical Equestrian Girls special, we meet the actual human Sunset Shimmer, and maybe she's still affected by what Sunset did. She might get glares from other people and she might be alone because she was associated with something she had no part in, and it messes with her life? What if there is a hard boundary where this Sunset will never forgive pony Sunset for the trouble she caused her, but Sunset still helps her make friends or at least helps her in some way, not under the condition or desire for forgiveness? I'd like to think that original human Sunset would like to be left alone by pony Sunset, but want to make room for new friends. I don't want original human Sunset to be villainies for this decision. It's just a course she decides to take, and isn't inherently good or bad, but you can understand why she took that path. Similar to Terra I think in the Teen Titans series finale "Things Change."

Maybe it would teach kids or anyone watching that someone may not forgive you for what you do, but you still have to figure out how to movie on and live your life. I would have liked it if Equestria Girls ended with that sort of knowledge, with both Sunsets being happy with where their lives are, and excited for where they will be going!

*SPOILERS FOR CRAIG OF THE CREEK HEART OF THE FOREST AHEAD*

This redemption reminds me of Xavier's redemption from Craig of the Creek! When he tries to do better, he isn't immediately forgiven and accepted by everyone at first and that's not treated as wrong! It's Maya who has to point out that this sort of thing takes time, and only if he wants to put in the effort to change. What really can matter to people is the effort that you make, and that's what makes the creek kids start to see him differently.

I remember how I was going to make a Starlight Glimmer redemption comparison and how I didn't really like her story or the role she played in the show but I think I'll make another post about it since this one was already quite long.

The Hell are we gonna do without Craig of the Creek when it ends

I recently played RDR2 for the first time with my partner and we named our white Arabian horse from the Grizzlies TwilightSparkle (god she was so dumb and crashed into everything but never died and was a trooper) We also finished RDR2 recently and I’ve been sick so I drew this to cope cause I thought it was funny. That’s all the context you get.

This was my first time drawing a pony and Arthur fun fact! Click for better quality and if you’d like more art from me/to support my work consider commissioning me!

i believe Twilight was the last one from the Mane 6 and Scootaloo was the last from the CMC i needed to draw, so funny getting them both here!

also Bulk Biceps was a really interesting one to draw because his proportions are so wild
