You know, I started off liking this comic. The idea that Nightmare wanted a life of her own and wanted Rarity to be her mother in return for granting her a new life, it was an interesting idea. And it was interesting to see what the artist thought life would be like in Ponyville so many years down the road. I was even fine with all the ships and their descendants. But this? It’s gone full preach mode all of a sudden, and over this?
 
I honestly don’t think anyone (bar a small few) have any problem with Twilight being shipped with someone. Just look at the fandom, it’s all over. True, it’s not always with the same pony (or non-pony), even though there are some ships that are common. But I think most people realize that it’s all a person’s preference.
 
What people have a problem with is WHO is was that Hasbro finally decided to ship her with. Not a character we already love, or one we already know of. But a completely new character with no personality, no real qualities people can find redeeming. And the whole thing completely blindsides everyone. They’re not even trying to play it up as ‘love at first sight’ in a fairy tale sense. It’s just them (literally) slapping the two characters together, and forcing instant relationship. Hell, it at least took Twilight two whole episodes to just get to be friends with the other Mane 6.
 
Hell, at this point, the artist could have had Twi have an illicit affair with Mr. Cake, and people would have been more ok with it than trying to shove her together with Flash Woodplank. But this? It feels like a complete non-committal cop-out. Breaking the fourth wall aside, if the artist wanted to tell a story, this is perhaps the worse choice they’ve made so far, and it makes me worry that they’re just going to end up making even more bad choices with their story telling as things go on.

Dose feels doe!

Well, then I guess the ashes are on fire now. XD

Well this got weird…er.

@thps48  
Burning? I thought it was in ashes three pages ago.

Motherfucking fourth wall burning. XD

@Ms. Harshwhinny  
Why do they? The only fan reaction I saw about him is the waifu thief thing referenced here.

Called this shit.  
Also, The artist kind of lost a bit of respect for not knowing why people hate flash sentry.

On one hand, I feel sympathy. On the other, I can’t stop giggling at the fact she called herself a “waifu”.

Damn. The Crazy thing is: I SHIP FLASHLIGHT.”

In fact，I feel angry
 
The artist is right,if it don’t have any premise
 
First, TWilight become a princess have left a terrible scar in many brony.  
And then, flash is hub give a boyfriend to Twilight.
 
Do you think didn’t want Twilight have a boyfriend. We just don’t want to send her a boyfriend.

Really, I don’t hate Flash Sentry, but, I think he must be in other episodes, not just in movies or cameo

I know, you’re tired, of loving, of loving with nopony to love, nopony, nopony! Just grab, somepony, I’m not leaving this party, with nopony to love, nopony, nopony!

Oh dear. I hope this is just a cruel joke and we’ll get the real comic later.

@OptimusPrimevil  
this is not real life, you can’t apply the same rules here.

@RIG  
lots of all caps and typos tend make people not listen/read carefully, so your argument/views might not be put into heart.  
put it this way, who would you listen to more: someone who is speaking calmly but firm or to someone who is shouting fast and loudly that what he/she is saying comes out like gibberish/angrish.

@OptimusPrimevil  
Not really.

@OptimusPrimevil  
why i should chill? this conversation will not affect my real life anyway, I HAVE NOTHING TO LOSE! SO WHY HOLD BACK MY FEELINGS?!

@Background Pony #FB85  
please specify as to why flash is a lost cause. @RIG  
dude chillax, the typos are ruining your argument.
 
anyone else think that the reason both flashes have little to no characterization is because they’re prepping a flash centric episode/portion in S5/EG3? mostly because they can’t move forward with the relationship until they sort out which version twilight should be paired with first?

good job, bronies… you ruined Twilight’s life!
 

@armadiloeater
 
Indeed. The artists even states in the blurb, even here:
 
“Warning : a lot of 4th wall breaking and referencing. … “
 
In all honest though, I would have to see a well thought out character to like for her to get as a husband/colt lover/whatever they would call it. Flash Sentry/Brad is pathetic and shouldn’t have even been included in S4, imho.
 
Flash/Brad is a lost cause and needs to be left alone. I would kinda LMAO if they Celestia tried to get Twilight to marry Blue Blood cause the little prick is about to be denounced as a prince, losing his title and all.

@gittonsxv  
Hurm, I think that is the point the artist is trying to make: Twilight is speaking of her fans, both the ones she acquired in the comic during her life (“waifu of so many ponies”) and obviously us.  
And what she doesn’t like is the way we put heavy requirements for any potential partner, like we are her father or something.  
Being protective and possessive of your idol (in the comic) or your favorite character (for some of us) is not very healthy.

“Dada!”Zaaap! Poof!  
“Oh No! My infant son had turned my husband(who shall remain nameless) into a delicious pineapple! Well, I guess I can just change him back before-”  
Skreee! Swoop.
