Yea but Sweetie is a she devil

SOMETIMES PEOPLE GOT SHIT TO DO, MAN

well, really— she has a hard enough time with Sweetie Belle. Babies? heck no.

He means at the Gala.  
And subduing rambunctous animals with something psychologically threatening does smack of being mean.  
The Cocatrice is a different story though.

… wut?

Resorts to violence when animals won’t listen to her
 
Element of kindness
 
See what I did?

Well since there is a discussion I’ll throw in my two cents.  
The thing with Fluttershy and kindness isnt whether or not she shows it, it’s simply that being ‘kind’ is relatively insignificant compared to making others happy, being honest, loyal or giving things away.
 
And also a lot of the ponies don’t really show their elements in a significant way.  
Applejack isn’t particularly honest, Dash isn’t particularly loyal, Fluttershy’s kindness doenst extend beyond being nice to animals and acting nice around friends.  
Rarity does show her element rather a lot I’ve noticed but at the same time her generosity is challenged a lot more.
 
Pinkie does show her Element well with those parties and rarely makes others feel bad.
 
And Twilight…well honestly being magical is nothing but a net positive.

If you babysat the CMC you’d be reluctant to get roped into watching kids too

Kindness is about being nice, and when she’s not being a brute, Fluttershy has a lot of that. She’s polite and caring, that she wants to spend time with her animals instead of her friends from time to time doesn’t mean she doesn’t appreciate them.

I respectfully disagree with the notion that kindness is a concept exclusively within a species.

Being the Element of Laughter  
Cries when everypony wont go to Gummy’s afterparty.
 
Ha ha!

Actually i’m not talking about her rage side, well not yet, even while she’s being shy she fails several times to show, well, kindness.  
Being the carrier of the element of kindness should mean being the best friend in the world, being always there for a friend, making him smile and helping him to overcome difficult moments..and the only pony i see matching this is Pinkie, not Fluttershy.  
Fluttershy only cares about little animals for like 90% of her screentime in the show, 8% for Dash and 2% for the CMC.  
If there’s one element Fluttershy should have, this one would be courage.

She didn’t have to obligatory say yes.
 
Sure,she was…a little bit more frank,but she was being honest.She has troubles babysitting her own sister,I couldn’t imagine if she babysits the Baby Cakes…

I think not giving an excuse is better than giving one to cover the fact that you don’t want to do something. Give her some credit, at least she was honest with her thoughts.
 
Also, liberty of choice, what is that?

@Takuto_Shindou  
Well when she does get mad, she gets real mad.
 
Honestly, it’s better for everyone if she stays normal and out of town in her little cottage where she can’t hurt anyone, ever.

Wait we were talking about babysitting the cmc?I thought it was baby cakes lol
 
@64  
True that, and it’s all proposital, but Fluttershy takes it to a point that i cannot stand at it.

I don’t blame her for turning down the Cakes. Look at what Pinkie went through.

… Also, what Itsthinking said.

Did you see what the little shits did to Fluttershy’s table? I don’t blame Rarity.

Being generous doesn’t mean dropping everything you’re doing to do something else.  
Being kind doesn’t mean never saying ‘no’.  
Being honest doesn’t mean never saving face or letting people realize their own weakness.  
Being loyal doesn’t mean to stick with your friends rigidly, regardless of the situation.  
Having a humorous personality doesn’t mean you’re constantly perky and bright.  
Being a unifier doesn’t mean it’s your responsibility to constantly monitor your friends.
 
Characters that express only one character trait are boring.

@Takuto_Shindou  
Yeah, they don’t personify their elements perfectly. AJ can lie, but she’s not very good at it.

Hey
 
At least she realizes she’s terrible with kids.

Cares more about non-talking animals than friends that love her.  
The pony of kindness.
 
 
Ha.

She had work.
