Just so we’re clear: Pinkie Pie’s thick, right?Īnyway, with all his options closed (with the exception of Twilight, but apparently he hates commuting), Discord’s screwed. Who’s bringing the biggest party animal she knows: Maud! I’m going to try, but I don’t think it’s going to work. Obviously this isn’t the case here because otherwise the implications are quite disturbing. Because when one brings someone as a date, the typical insinuation is that it’s a romantic thing.
Instead, he heads straight to Carousel Boutique, where the Cutie Mark Crusaders are getting ready for the Gala themselves.ĭiscord does not know how to make an elegant entrance, does he?īut turns out the three of them are actually going as the dates of Rarity, Applejack and Rainbow Dash, because those three don’t have a lot else going on. Which only makes me wonder why he doesn’t teleport there, and ask her. First, Twilight, who, as Spike informs him, is in Canterlot. So he asks every other pony if they already have dates. Unless he goes as another pony’s ‘plus one’. What changed? I guess last time, they were each other’s dates.Īnyway, the reason Fluttershy didn’t ask Discord was because she thought Discord already had a ticket, but he doesn’t. Though it begs the question: They’re bringing dates this time around? They didn’t last time. So, only one year has passed, huh? Interesting…Īnd while Discord expected to be Fluttershy’s date, turns out she already asked Tree Hugger. Then again, she didn’t realize they were in the land of The Stepford Ponies until it was too late.Īnd then, they bring up the Grand Galloping Gala, which last occurred back in Season one. She’s normally more sensitive to that kind of thing. Mainly through his body language.Īnd I’m astonished that Fluttershy didn’t pick up on that. Because at that stage, we quickly learn that Discord has a jealous side. And it’s such a nice time they’re having together, until Fluttershy mentions her friend: Tree Hugger. The story begins with Fluttershy and Discord having tea, because that’s apparently something they do, I guess.
The show that never stops teaching me about myself. It’s hard to approach people, and when I do, if they’re not 100% open, my brain just cries ‘abort’ and I walk away.Īnd I can only wonder if I’m alone in this.Īnd I’ll explain how as I write another piece on My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. And I think it might be due to my fragile self-esteem, and a debilitating social anxiety.
Now any minor thing will get me to fall apart. Which actually almost happened.īut now, I’ve gone in the complete opposite direction. Back in high school, I was very clingy as a friend, and it would take a person cursing me out to get me to leave them alone. And by the time I realize that, it’s hard to go back. It doesn’t take much for my brain to interpret something as absolute rejection, and convert it into absolute derision. It’s always something small and sometimes trivial that takes place, causing me to feel like it’s all over, and I should just throw it all away. But that’s how my brain ends up processing the situation. And it’s never my fault, it’s always them! Everyone hates me and it was always inevitable!Īnd I know what you’re thinking: That makes no sense. This is a big problem when friendships are involved.Įvery time I’ve developed, or started to develop, some type of friendship with someone, something always goes wrong. Let me explain to you how my brain works… this will be difficult.Įvery time something good happens in my life, I assume it’ll go bad.
