Oh dinky, I have so much to tell you

@Beau Skunky
 
Yup, will gotta think more how to make her interestingly unique… and still fitting that Unique RD Brand.
 
Yeah, or stay with the current trend, if I like it just too much.

@dziadek1990  
Apologizing constantly sounds more like Fluttershy’s thing though.  
You can portray however you see fit though.

@Beau Skunky
 
I will mainly try to write her as an Accidental Jerk.
 
And every time she realizes she’s hurting people she’ll be all “Holy Fu**, dude! I’m sorry!” D:

@dziadek1990  
I’ve seen other artists portray her much worse before. Same with every character. Usually, it’s done just for fun or parody.

@NLTLF
 
:) Dude, how can RD be nice before learning her lessons? That would be unrealistic.
 
And I am recently starting writing in advance in the descriptions the info whether the events are happening in season 1 or 7, so people can SEE the progress that she’s made…
 
(At least I’ll try to keep mentioning what Season’s events are being shown. My discipline’s not perfect.)
 
…and if they see no progress in RD’s behavior, THEN they will rightly conclude “Damn! This guy’s version of RD is so stubborn and a slow learner!”

@dziadek1990
 
so what you told me is that you’re gonna do what you want without any regards to criticism because this is a flashback

@NLTLF
 
‘Kay. Conveniently this is happening in a flashback (in season 1).
 
So whenever I’ll want to write a Likable Dash, I’ll write her in the timeline of later seasons, after she learned her lessons.
 
And whenever I’ll be randomly in a mood for a Jerkass Dash, I’ll show her in Season 1, before she learned life lessons.
 
RISK: People will assume that Jerkass Dash is the only Dash I write.
 
But, eh… Even some stories that I wrote and I love have been downvoted. WORTH IT!
 
 
(Also, pssst…. my characters also know sarcasm + hyperboles……… so both the readers, and my characters’ friends have to sometimes guess whether the character is being serious or just kidding… :O )

@dziadek1990
 
i don’t know, maybe make her egotism a little less than her ENTIRE character. just being narcissistic for the sake of being narcissistic isn’t funny. maybe instead of making her want to force short people to fight for her entertainment, make her a bit more of a likable character. or maybe use this same skit but instead of dash, use a more fitting character, one who’s more likely to act like her in this scenario.

@NLTLF
 
:D It will keep happening if I won’t receive specifics, dude. What needs improvement?
 
At least tell me if you agree with the guy below my previous comment. I can’t read minds.

by god, i don’t know what it is about rainbow dash that attracts people to turn her character on its head so fucking often

@Beau Skunky
 
I thought hard, and concluded what would Dinky do, if they ignored her “one-night stand” question long enough.
 
(And if I avoided the boring “Your mom will tell you when you grow up, Dinky!” - “Okay…” and other scenarios as such.)
 
Namely:
 
I am pretty sure that even though Derpy told Dinky about ALL SORTS of things “a nice pony shouldn’t do”, Derpy never specifically told Dinky that it is rude to tickle.
 
Since Dinky is small, and wouldn’t cause much trouble to adults (from Derpy’s POV)
 
…except to Shortround.
 
My mind entered a following scene:
 
Dinky immobilizes and keeps tickling Shortround to give her the answer ^{tickle torture!}, and Rainbow is Rolling On The Floor Laughing (and will only save Shortround when there will be a risk of him spilling the beans and giving the definition of the Inappropriate Term to a kid.)
 
End scene.

@dziadek1990  
Probably her ego, and such, but sense it’s a parody, (it is, isn’t it?) it’s really not a huge concern.

@Beau Skunky
 
Question: Which aspect of Dash felt most Flanderized?
 
(I don’t mind writing flawed characters, cuz people ARE flawed, but which part of her seemed unrealistic as a person? She is 18 btw here in this flashback… yeah, a super promiscuous youth.)

@Beau Skunky
 
:) Conveniently, this is a flashback.
 
My stories’ “Present” is in season 7, and this is The Past (in season 1).
 
I will now have to think if Dash dislikes her own behavior now and if she will change in this aspect by the time the season 7 comes.
 
And in what way will she change her behavior… and because of who’s words.
 
Perhaps she will get crabs one too many times, or will mature emotionally in some less cliche/silly way…

Kinda Flanderizing Dash here, but sense it’s a parody, it’s ok I guess.
