It’s not really solitude if you’re next to Tirek, is it?
 
And she’s not gonna suddenly feel bad three months later, and if she was, well she’s already proven to have the ability to effortlessly cry crocodile tears.

I don’t think it’s a lifetime of solitutude I think it’s more a of a time-out for about a few months or so then she’ll be let out,the only reason they’re taking such precautions is because she’s to powerful to just put in a corner somewhere

@Haruka Takahashi  
If I thought it would do any good to tell the politicians that, I would.
 
But it might do at least some little good here on this site. :)

@Yet One More Idiot  
Tell that to.the politician’s

@Chuy Ryu  
Yes, I could unsubscribe so that I wouldn’t have to see all of the arguing going on. But that wouldn’t stop the arguing going on, would it?
 
I felt it would be more worthwhile to politely ask those arguing to stop, instead.

@Yet One More Idiot  
there is a little bell at the top of the image, you can use it

Can we all just stop arguing please?
 
This site is meant to be about making and commenting on ART.
 
Not arguing over the stories that the producers and scriptwriters have made, and whether you think this character or that is more evil or should or should not be redeemed. This is a booru, it’s an art site.
 
Thank you, and goodnight.

“Do we need another image and subsequent thread like this, but for Cozy Glow?”
 
No

@Stotter

close the comments

If Cozy had was sorry and actually meant it, she would have been given another chance.

WHERE ARE HER PARENTS?!?

@tehwatever  
Have you seen her old room?

@AC97  
And that too. Most probably that.  
“I only saw what you showed me. who knows what really happened.”–Starlight Glimmer.
 
Season 6 she also saw Hearths Warming Eve to be an excuse to sing silly songs. I guess Starlight was emo at one point.

@tehwatever
 
Or Starlight’s biased mind dismissed it as propaganda at the time.

@tehwatever  
That’s more or less what I’m trying to say. Starlight had every reason to know they’e important but hated Twilight so much, she didn’t want to believe it. However, it’s still either silly or foolish to think that breaking up a group of friends who saved the world several times wouldn’t lead to anything bad because someone else is just going to pick up the slack. And I think, deep down, Starlight knew that.

I worded that poorly. Clearly knowing the importance of something does imply knowing its disappearance would make things worse. Many arguments about endangered species are always about its importance and how bad the world would be without them. So let me retract that statement.
 
BUT, what I was trying to argue is this: Starlight counted on the Mane6 being replaceable as Equestria’s heroes, because she hated them specifically. She also might have though about Equestria being worse off, but never to the point of absolute ruin.
 
Point is: Starlight, even IF she probably knew the possibility of Equestria being worse without the Mane6, NEVER sought the destruction of Equestria. That’s why she had trouble accepting the idea that the Mane6 must exist they way the are, for Equestria to be even remotely safe.

@Starswirl  
Again. I’m not saying she didn’t know. Clearly she did but was in denial about it. Hence her “how could you guys be so important” line. Now then let’s say breaking friendships screwed Equestria. Twilight explicitly said it herself: Starlight breaking up with Sunburst led them there, which means Twilight could literally just go back in time fix Starlight / Sunburst right at the core and they would live in a much better version of Equestria, right? Right. But then comes another line:
 
“When your friendship ended it led us here, but imagine all the OTHERS waiting for you if you give them another chance?”–Twilight Sparkle
 
…So…What’s stopping Twilight Sparkle finding NEW, OTHER friendships even if they broke the Rainboom one??? So…what…apparently it’s okay that Starlight had to be a cult leader and hurt ponies, but Mane6 not forming would ruin Equestria many times over.
 
Question that is still not answered is: what about OTHER ponies? Can’t they do it? What if other friendships were formed when the Rainboom DIDN’T happen? We don’t know. We only know the Rainboom helped form the Mane6. Also When the Rainboom happened it didn’t MAKE them friends. Technically The Mane6 could have still formed under other circumstances. The only info Starlight had at the time was that it helped them form a bond and that they were important ponies.
 
Knowing the importance of ponies does not necessitate knowing that their disappearance would make things WORSE. Them not being around would make things DIFFERENT, yes, in fact she was counting on it, but she didn’t expect–nobody should really expect–that the absence of Mane6 would bring about the complete and total destruction of Equestria.
 
If The Map/Tree is such a big fan on friendship to the point it’s willing to let Equestria come to ruin just because some group of friends it likes isn’t around…well…think about it for a minute.

@gingerninja666  
Yes, it is different. I’m not trying to argue Cozy’s and Starlight’s situations are the same, I’m just saying Starlight knew who Twilight’s friends were, and what they did, she was simply too jealous and angry to believe they were important in any way.
 
@tehwatever  
See above. Starlight didn’t want them to be important, even though she had ample information that they were.
 
As for your theory: Equestria is big on fate and the magic of friendship. So yes, it’s likely that breaking their friendships like Starlight did only screwed Equestria over more and more and more, and there is no version where things are better.

@Starswirl  
She KNEW who the Mane6 ARE and knows the stuff they did, but Starlight didn’t even want to consider that breaking up the Mane6 would literally ruin Equestria. They saved Equestria, sure. But are they really the ONLY ONES capable of doing so? What about other ponies? Can’t OTHER PONIES be the “Elements”? The idea that the Elements and the saviors of Equestria MUST be Twilight and friends is what was bothering Starlight.
 
Literally “Ugh, what’s SO special about your friends?! How can a group of ponies that are so different, be so important?!” For real though. Mane6 is NOT like Humane6 who are the only group with magic superpowers. Humane6 are literally the magical girls power rangers of that world. Losing them would be precarious for Canterlot High.
 
But the Mane6? Outside of Twilight who was the single most powerful unicorn alive at the time, the rest of them were a bunch of…above average ponies from some village? In fact, that’s the whole premise of Season 1 really. Just slice of life stories of…regular ponies doing regular jobs leading regular lives, albeit more exciting than most. Then subsequent seasons turned them into superheroes but the point still stands: Starlight was trying to break up Mane6 ALL the way back when they were a child.
 
Look, from the first Sonic Rainboom to Nightmare Moon, that’s more than enough time to raise another group of heroes, if The Map and Destiny were so inclined. But No. The Map INSISTED that The Mane6 be the heroes apparently.
 
“I only saw what you showed me, who knows what really happened?!”–Starlight Season 5.
 
Aaand she’s both correct, and incorrect. Twilight didn’t exactly choose what version of the future they would go to, so both Twilight and Starlight wouldn’t have any idea what the future would look like. You know who knows? THE MAP. I have a feeling THE MAP chose what future they both see. THE MAP, played both of them. I mean c’mon. There’s gotta versions of the future where things are A-OK but the difference is that The Mane 6 never formed a group. But The Map probably don’t want to show it, just to prove the point that The Mane6 must stay.
 
I know this is conspiracy theory, but considering The Map, The Tree and whatever is connected to them are freaking sentient, and probably has their own agenda…then maybe they’ve been pulling strings to make things go a certain way.

@Starswirl  
She did follow her, but I’d still count that differently to literally existing within a curriculum designed entirely to teach friendship for months, interacting with the sylabus enough to pass all the tests with flying colours, and yet not internalizing a single thing. Not even through osmosis.
 
Also, that lecture Twilight gave wasn’t actually about the Elements of Harmony. Remember, Twi was giving a speech at Celestia’s magic school. It was about cutie mark magic. She was talking about how the rainboom united her friends. Then Starlight left after learning that information.

@tehwatever  
and people stil thinks this is about starlight hate… this more the writers decision to make a fucking KID more evil, a bigger menace and receives a bigger punishment than a GROWN mare
 
if cozy were a grown mare like starlight, probably this meme would not exist
