Tsundere Dash is best Dash. X)

I always saw Dash as rather emotionally repressed, bottling up her feelings so she wouldn’t look weak or sissy.
 
I even made a fanfic to that effect.

@Orange Peel
 
You’re right but sadly it didn’t stop the haters to deny Dashie’s emotional personality. This moment together with Sleepless in Ponyville are the best proofs that Dashie actually has a emotional personality <3

Okay that’s instantly a classic.

I could watch this all this day. It’s both cute AND funny.

@Bp Tortoise

They’re so alike.
 
Rainbow Dash is all tough looking with an attitude on the outside. But sensitive on the inside.
 
Rarity is a elegant and lady-like on the surface. But is a beast on the inside.

DIE TURTLE DIE!

Dash has been a few times shown as affectionate but tries to hide it behind her toughness. She nearly wept in The Last Roundup and let us not forget her kindness to Scootaloo in Sleepless in Ponyville.
 
Powell could write a really incredible Rainbow Dash episode. He performs her personality the best.

@Tirek  
Actually that was already canon. In “The Cutie Mark Chronicles” all the others of the Mane 6 hugged her at the end. And although she looked initially reluctant, she was smiling brightly while it happened.

this one has amazing quality :D

Cause this is only like the 10th time somebody has uploaded this exact same thing…

take that you haters!
 
I said it for at least a year now and I was right: Rainbow Dash has a very emotional personality but she hides it all the time even before her best friends (maybe with the exception of Fluttershy since they are fillyhood friends).

@PlotHole  
Takes one to know one!

@Background Pony  
It was written by Corey Powell, who also wrote arguably the best episode of this season (Sleepless in Ponyville). Though I dont think it can be argued that that was some of the best Rainbow Dash portrayal in recent history.
 
More from this writer, I say. MOAR.
 
@Grieffon  
I know, right? It helps that this is the same writer who wrote Sleepless in Ponyville, but seriously they’ve definitely stepped up their game since Season 2 as far as RD portrayal goes (though it did have some pretty sweet RD moments, which were forever tainted by Mare Do Well).
 
@Lium  
You’re still here?  
Hey mods, whats the ETA on the feature that lets me block seeing comments from certain people?

Best scene of the episode.  
For that matter, that episode was really, really great, too bad we got it so late, its one of the best.

“No one must know that I can show emotion.”

@A Sad Pony  
True.

these two were seriously the best part of the episode

That propeller so close to the face just screams trouble..

@DudeManGuy  
Depending on what kind of anime-style mech. If they’re Super Robots, most definitely. If they’re Real Robots, less certain.

@Clopitor_the_Hydrogenous  
If they’re anime-style mechs, they can just run off the power of the friendship and camaraderie between the pilots.

We saw that, Dashie.

I’ve always wondered, if that helicoptery thing is powered by magic, and Friendship is magic, do they keep friend slaves deep in the bowels of Celestia’s war machine to power her unstoppable death mechs?

So great. She really does love that tortoise.
