(i wrote this whole thing on a frantic rage there WILL be typos, suck my dick grammar police) (TLDR at the end for you cowards)
hot take artists are not only allowed but supposed to use language FUCKING FIGURATIVELY AND IN A FLOWERY WAY YOU DIPSHITS
now that being said, i really hate how she is consistenly unbothered by the carbon emissions that her stupid private jets make everytime she travels from one city to another one like idk in the same state or smth. i really also hate that she is not vocal enough about supporting very important fights and that she is basically a white privileged woman. these are all facts and she doesnt do nearly enough with the platform she has.
HOW FUCKING EVER:
it makes no sense to shit on artists based on using terms like "the tortured artist" or saying that they are "tormented" or yadda yadda. like have you read hozier's lyrics? that man is white and cis-het passing (i do not know whether he is on any other part of the gender o sexuality spectrum and he does not owe any of us a comming out if he were to be queer in any way shape or form BUT HE IS VERY MUCH CIS-HET PASSIN AND THAT IS A PRIVILEGE) yet through his art he talks as if he was the most tortured soul to ever be. BECAUSE ITS ART. AND SOMETIMES SOMETIMES (plot twist its most times) ARTISTS USE THIS THING CALLED LYRICAL SPEAKER WHO IS ESSENTIALLY LIKE A CHARACTER THAT IS SINGING THE SONG, IT IS NOT NECESSARILY THE AUTHOR'S ACTUAL REAL LIFE LIVED EXPERIENCES BUT AN INTERPRETATION OF THEM, AN EXPRESSION OF THEM THROUGH ART.
now, taylor swift has crafter a persona which is incredibly marketeable and is what makes her so relevant, that persona is that of a girl/woman who has been consistenly not taken seriously by media, industry and fellow artists, as well as worldwide audiences, a girl/woman who has oerceviered and through resilience and smartness and sheer willpower has survided the constant abuse tha she was put through and stil has remained relatively a kind normal person, she sings about relatable things to a young and adult moslty femenine audience, etc, etc, etc. and guess what? that all really did happen to her. and that to an extent kinda really is her. as white and wealthy as she is, she has endured what any other woman endures all her life, except in the public eye from a young age when all she wanted was to share her music with the world, cuz lets remember she was YOUNG when she started, and from day one she experienced the same things over and over. AND IMPLYING THAT THESE HARDSHIPS ARENT VALID BECAUSE SOMEONE ELSE IS SUFFERNING MORE IS LIKE WHEN BOOMERS SAY "oh back when i was a kid i got screamed at and hit and spanked so much and im completely fine so you that have it easier than me bc that doesnt happen as much anymore are not allowed to complain about anything".
lastly, dude, the whole "tortured artist" is a cultural concept at this point, using it is basically a reference to just simply the idea that when artistic expression and (GET THIS) MENTAL HEALTH ISSUES come hand in hand it tends to result in extraordinary art. this of course is not necessarily true and one can be and incredibly great artist while havin stable good mental health. however we do know taylor has gone through eating dissorders for example, which, newsflash is completely related and closely intertwined with mental health, aside from that she has been groomed by older men or at the very least taken advantage of, etc etc etc again. Like, by concept of "tortured artist" any woman could be a great artist.
TLDR: 1) yes taylor swift does little to nothing to support hugely important humanitarian issues compared with how big of a platform she has, 2) LYRICAL SPEAKER AND ALSO ARTISTIC EXPRESSION ARE A THING THO, 3) taylor swift has actually endured hardship and the fact that its not as much as that of people losing their entire homes and families doesnt mean her own isnt valid and lastly, 4) the term "tortured artist" is widely used in the whole art scene, also criticized of course but stil the name of the album is a nod to that popular concept thats all jesus fucking christ chill.
t*ylor sw*ft is calling her new album “poems of a tortured artist” and i’m like oh are you? while there’s a genocide going on? while hospitals are being bombed and people are being killed? are you tortured writing those songs on either of your private jets or one of your eight houses with one of the biggest fanbases in the world who defend you tooth and nail no matter what? are you tortured??????

MEGUMI HEADACON
I'm so soft for Megumi Fushiguro I'm absolutely in love with him, I hope he is having a amazing day.
my list uwu
just fluff
minor spoilers about Megumis family
Megumi Fushiguro x reader
Tumblr media
If you're dating Megumi Fushiguro for a long term and he is very comfortable around you, he will get clingy. Not the PDA kind of clingy, but the type where he can't leave his hands off you, while hanging out.
When you two are in his room??
You're in his arms, nowhere else. He will hold you, you can even sit in his lap. He'll allow it all as long as he gets to hold you, your hand in his so he can just admire, how much smaller or perhaps even bigger your hand are than his.
He will allow you to baby him.
100%
At first he'd complain about it when you're doing it, but now?? He is just begging for it.
But he won't be asking in words, pretty boy is too shy for that. His kind of asking is just by laying himself in your lap. If you're not too busy he will just sit himself close and lean on you until you give it, gifting him with all your affection. Please play with his hair, it doesn't matter if you mess it up even more.
Megumi is just maybe a tiny little bit touch starved, something he doesn't like to admit. He grew up without parents to give him that physical affection and his sister wasn't around long either. He only had Gojo and there is no way in hell, he'd take a hug from Gojo.
He is so soft, he will literally melt and blush when you kiss him, while cuddling. Absolutely loves kisses to his hands, he doesn't even know why, but something about you kissing his neck and hands is just very endearing to him. He needs his hands to use his ten Shadow technique so, you praising him and his nice hands, might just give him the confidence he needs.
If you're smaller than him, he will absolutely adore it when you wear his clothes. Listen he likes comfy clothes, they're moslty oversized on him already, you're going to swim in his clothes, and he loves it so much, once again he will never admit it!! When it slips of your shoudler a little? Don't be surprised if he nuzzles your neck or presses a kiss there, he does it in a innocent way, it's right in his comfort zone. If you're bigger than him? Same thing goes he'll just buy HIS oversized clothes even more oversized. His clothes smell super nice, he uses soft scented fabric softener for his clothes. His bed and clothes just smell like him and soft cotton, sometimes flowers.
He is a confirmed dog person, but he also has the most puppy like behavior sometimes. Super loyal to his friends and you. He won't ever make you feel jealous, because he is just there for you and no one else. You don't even dream about him cheating, he would NEVER.
Call him needy, actually please do not call him needy, he will feel bad and stop himself, if he thinks, he is bothering you. BUT he is very needy for your attention and he WILL get it.
He is not a man of words, but a man of actions, so please pay attention to him when he tugs on your clothes or leans on you.
If you're distracted or giving your attention to something or someone else for too long, he will be unpacking drastic measures.
He won't deny the request, if you ask him to summon his divine dogs so you can play with them. Megumi thinks it's adorable how you giggle and play with his dogs, he wishes so badly, he could capture it in a picture, but his Shinigami cannot be seen on pictures.
But when you're too distracted with his dogs to pay attention to him, he'll be sad.
THE POWER FUSHIGURO MEGUMI HOLDS OVER YOU WILL BE UNLEASHED.
Be ready for him to just plop himself in your lap, nothing too new, but he will literally pout and whine.
"I'm also a good boy woof."
Your heart???
CARDIAC REST.
Megumi Fushiguro will be the neediest boy you'll ever know, if he doesn't get the attention he wants.
How could you deny him??
You can't, his dogs are long forgotten and called back once he does it. You're stotic boyfriend going all cute??? Calling himself a good boy?? Him just soflty barking???
He will get every bit of your attention and love.
You really didn't know where he picked it up, but he really knows how to play his cards to get your attention.
In his younger years Gojo had always teased him to be a 'pretty boy' that Megumi could easily swoon girls, if he wanted to. Back then he called bullshit on his teacher, that Gojo just wanted to tease and bully him, maybe one the many reasons he is always so irritated with his teacher.
But now? As much as he hates to admit it, his teacher is popular with women, so just maybe, just maybe it gave him a tiny bit of confidence in his looks. He will now be using his pretty boy ways to swoon you.
He will pull all the pretty boy cards to get your attention. He is not scared to act all cute to get it. His pretty lashes?? Yeah, he'll just look at you bat his pretty long lashes at you. You like his collarbones??? He'll just wear a even more oversized shirt so you can see them. Though he is not bold enough to take of his shirt or anything drastic.
He will never ever talk about it the next day. When you try to tease him about it? Suddenly he has memory loss, that never happened. You must have dreamed it.

There arent enough Fiq (Fiyerboq if you prefer) headcanons out there so I'm here to provide.
》this is a mix between book!verse and musical!verse but its moslty book!verse《
Fiyero, of course, has diamond tattoos on his arms and hands, and when they're cuddling Boq likes to trace them with his finger cause it calms him down. Fiyero loves it, because his diamonds have always been something that disconnected him from everyone at shiz, they were something everyone considered "foreign" but Boq loves his diamonds and thinks they're really pretty, and even that small thing makes fiyero feel so much more like he belongs. (I already sent an ask about this one to @gelphieandfluff on my main account, but I figured I'd expand on it cus I love it sm)
Boq puts zero(0) sugar or cream in his coffee. He drinks it black. And it honeslty scares Fiyero a little bit
》"doesnt that,, doesnt that taste really bitter?"
》 "yeah. It's about as bitter as Miss Hemming's soul. She gave me a long ass essay to do and I need this energy."
》"you're kinda scary for someone so small."
Fiyero has Very Long Hair. Thankfully, Boq has several sisters and is a master at braiding hair, so he constantly braids fiyeros hair.
Speaking of hair! Boq has curly hair. Fiyero heccin loves it and will constnsly run his hands through Boq's hair and play with it, sadly, Boq's hair is too short to braid.
Fiyero is the Neat and tidy one of he two of them, so if Boq leaves his stuff out, Fiyero will clean it up. The issue with that is; he almost always leaves the stuff where Boq cant reach it.
》"I told you to stop putting my books on the highest shelf!"
》"and I told you to stop leaving them on the table so I guess we're even!"
Boq only likes being picked up by Fiyero, if anyone else tries to then he'll complain, but he trusts Fiyero so he let's him (it's also because he likes it when Fiyero holds him but he'll never admit that)
A lot of people just kinds assume that Boq is the one who can cook. That is wrong. Completely incorrect. Boq tried make eggs once and they tasted like fish vomit. Fiyero, however, Is a great cook and Boq cannot figure out how and when he learned to cook.
Boq cant braid his hair. But!! He can do very small pig tails and it's the cutest fuccin thing.
Fiyero is very protective of his friends and cares for them deeply. So everytime Boq gets sick or hurt, Fiyero is by his side like "are you okay? Are you sure you dont need a doctor? Do you need anything?" And while Boq finds it a little annoying, he also finds it very endearing.
Okay, now for the angst. Because I'm me.
Boq's family had no idea that Fiyero and Boq were dating for a very long time because Boq was not out yet. And when he did "come out" it was not of his own free will. Over the summer break he and Fiyero had been writing to eachother. His mom found some of the letters while cleaning the house. Unfortunately, she had stumbled upon the letters that had gotten slightly romantic (they said 'I love you' or 'I miss kissing you' things like that)
She and Boq's dad sat him at the kitchen table and told him they'd found the letters. A very long and very loud argument ensued. Boq went back to Shiz the next morning.
When fiyero returned from his summer break, Boq nearly had a breakdown because he had been so stressed. He cried the whole time he told Fiyero about the argument.
Thankfully, Fiyero is a very understanding person, and a good listener. He knew Boq just needed a shoulder to cry on. And a promise that he'd be fine. And that's exactly what fiyero provided him with. As well as a kiss and a promise that he'd be there for him no matter what.
And that's everything! That took me all day because I've been very tired and am having trouble doing the words. Anyways, enjoy.

lavish (Alice Nakiri)
Tumblr media
Summary: Nakiri Alice invites the reader, her friend, to a taste test. Reader questions why did the famous Nakiri prepared a meal just for her; but when Alice starts feeding her, all thoughts disappear and she can focus only on the taste. And a certain white-haired female, who is more than happy to tease her younger 'friend'.
Warnings: none.
Chapters: 1 [completed]
Words: 2,062
READ IT ON AO3.
**
“All of this?" her voice trembles in fear, body frozen, hands clamped tightly into the fabric of the pillow. "For me?”
Bewilderment. Surprise. Pleasure moslty, among other feelings that were continuously growing inside of her. Increasing affection. Hunger.
“Aaaaall this…” Sensual. Teasingly. “For you~” A devious chuckle and an almost inaudible gulp; she felt her mouth water at the rich sight in front of her very eyes, that made her stomach rumble furiously.
She was famished. And not just for the food displayed on the table.
“Shall I feed you?” the white haired female, seated on the cushion next to her, scooped closer. Another nervous gulp, the other girl tense from the closeness with the famous Nakiri Alice’s body, their thighs touching lightly. What was with that outfit? With that long lab coat over a lacy black dress, too short for comfort? What was Nakiri trying to do? This should be illegale--it was bad for [name]'s heart. Was she trying to be a chemist? This was bad, so bad; it was already late in the night and this sudden invitation she received from the more talented female only made her heart beat faster, ready to burst. It filled her head with questions to Alice's real intentions: was she really just trying to taste new recipes? This banquetseemed more than just a simple test; it was as if Alice invited [name] to a dinner, a romantic one. Wouldn't Alice use Ryo's advice  more than hers? Ryo was her best friend, they worked together so many times; why would Alice ask for her advice? There was no point. Did that mean Alice valued her word more than Ryo's? At least that thought made her shudder with pleasure.
‘I shouldn’t be thinking these things. She’s my friend.’
My cute and adorable guinea pig, as she puts it. ‘I hope she just uses that as an endearment…’
But back to the present.
She’s too nervous to look Alice in the eyes, so she clenches her fists and stares at the ground, letting her [h/l] [h/c] fall over her expression, hiding her wide smile. Being fed personally by one of the greatest chef around in ascension was an honor. But she felt that, being a lowlife student with no special qualities, she shouldn’t accept it. She was not worthy enough. She already crossed the boundaries when he tried to befriend Alice in the first place (which she was kind enough to accept; she still doesn’t know the reason).
Luckily for her, they formed a friendship and continued on being so. Her own crush on the white haired girl was unplanned and well, it bore no fruit. Not like she expected anything. At least she gets to try Alice’s delicious cooking.
“There’s no need to do that, A-Alice-chan…”
“Nonsense!” Alice beams happily. “I want to do it so I will! No complaining!” A pout formed on the albino’s lush lips. “Besides, I won’t take ‘no’ as an answer after I took aaaall this time to cook for you!”
‘You went a bit overboard, though…’ the girl glanced one more time at the variety of meals set on the table. A whole long table. Plates filled with delicious food, glistening in the dim lights and being really tempting. A chemical combination that could please her entirely. Only for her…
“Umm…”
“Like~I~said~” Alice’s long fingers cup her cheeks, turning her head towards her and she gulps again after seeing Alice’s expression. Her eyes narrowed, a dark shadow cast over them. Meaning she was serious about this, her lips curled into a malicious smirk. “I am not going to let you go.”
A shudder went through her spine. She was sold. Completely.
“Good~”
Still holding her chin and her red orbs never leaving the other’s own eyes, Alice’s hand gently and slowly picked up a strawberry. She twirled it a few times, eyeing the other girl with lust and mischief that sent a shudder through her spine. Oh, she was in for a treat. Alice’s thumb gently caressed [Name]’s lips, parting them slightly and making her blush profusely.
“Open up…” Alice orders her darkly, and she can’t help but obey. She opens her mouth and Alice teases her lips with the strawberry, rubbing it against it and making [Name] whine a bit in anticipation. “You like strawberries very much, don’t you?”
[Name] let out a thirsty breath. Alice chuckled again. “Alright. I won’t keep it away from you anymore.”
She pressed the strawberry to her lips, pushing it in between and [Name] bit into it. It was succulent and the rosy sweet juice of the fruit dribbled down her chin. [Name] felt herself exploding from the taste and chewed up slowly, maintaining eye contact with Alice all the time, as she was encouraging her on with small and whispered words.
“That’s a good girl.” Alice purred and picked up another strawberry and this time she was being more forceful. “Can you keep up?”
“A-Ah.” [name] could only moan as Alice continued on teasing her with food. “P-Please…”
Alice cocked her head to the side, smiling darkly but innocently at the same time. “Please what?”
“Feed me something else…” the girl begged, a bit flushed and panting heavily. She wanted her tongue to feel more of the delicious treats Alice has prepared for her.
“Oh!” Alice clapped her hands together, delighted. “You should’ve said so sooner! I have this bento specially designed for your tastes, [Name]! Studied them thoroughly!”
The other girl felt her heart leap, but said nothing and only watched how Alice picked up a box with one hand and the chopsticks with the other. “You’re ready?” she asked her, smiling a cute smile that [Name] very much liked. Did she just said that she designed this bento for her because she was studied?!
Oh boy.
“Please,” she begs.
“Here I go~”
Alice picked up some octopus wieners with her chopsticks, holding them like a refined expert and ordering her once again to open her mouth. She brutally shoved the wieners in [Name]’s open mouth, careful still not to hurt her.
[Name] chewed and swallowed but Alice didn’t let her rest and started to stuff her face with more delicious treats, varying from onigiri to succulent meat pieces. The sauces made the difference between the normal meal and the one Alice created, making [name] feel like in paradise. It was too much, too delicious...[Name] made sure to enjoy it thoroughly, making encouraging noises to let Alice know that she could continue doing what she was doing: she was doing more than alright. Alice chuckled at her needy nature, enjoying her red cheeks, parted lips ready for more food, panting heavily, her chest rising up and down with obvious satisfaction. [Name] squirmed a bit, adjusting her position and rubbing her thighs together since she was starting to feel rather…uncomfortable.
And hot. Extremely hot.
Turned on by the way the food was making her feel, mixed with the overwhelming presence of Alice near; it was enough to make her burst. The delicious flavors exploding in her mouth, the still yummy and fresh scent of the food alongside with Alice’s natural fragrance was slowly but surely driving her insane. She just wanted to jump on the young cook and ravish her, eat her out like the dishes Alice so carefully made…but she knew that was a forbidden desire that she must keep for herself.
Or else…
“Ah, I see,” the white haired girl suddenly chimes in, putting the almost empty bento box and the chopsticks back on the table. The other girl stops for a few seconds, in a daze, not knowing what Alice was planning now.
“W-What…” she whimpers in a weak tone, wanting more of Alice’s care.
However, the white haired girl had other plans.
“You got something…” she said, scrunching his nose as if displeased. “Over…” she leaned closer, her fingers grabbing [Name]’s chin with delicacy. “Here.” Alice held her jaw as her lips got closer to the other girl’s mouth.
“A-ALICE?!” she could only squeak as Alice’s fingers didn’t let go of her and didn’t let her move. She was trapped.
“What is it?” Alice stopped halfway, although too close for comfort, smirking and breathing upon her lips, teasingly. Her eyes were anything but than innocent.
“What are you…” her words died out in favor of heavy swallowing.
“Cleaning you, you dirty pig,” she responded and, though her words were mean, her tone was sweeter than cotton candy. “You need to be a lot more careful...” And the white haired chef simply kissed the corner of [name]’s mouth, gently; made the other girl’s breath hitch in her throat. “Mmm...” then a wet appendage tickled her skin, licking her slowly. [name] was thunderstruck; did Alice just lick her? She felt like her whole body was exploding and she couldn’t contain her feelings anymore.
If she won’t have Nakiri Alice now...
“You had some rice--” Alice didn’t even manage to lick her lips clean because she was quickly pushed upwards then promptly pinned to the table's edge by a very horny [name]. “Ah-!” she moaned involuntarily, arms pinned above her head, back bend over the wooden table, the other girl hovering above her dangerously. Alice liked the clouded gaze [name] had; she loved seeing her lose all composure after her constant teasing. It was the first time she saw her like that as [name] usually kept her cool. Alice wanted to change that and make the quiet girl burst--she knew she had it inside of her. Seems like she had had enough.
Just like Alice planned calculated.
She smirked, loving the position she was in. “What’s this? You’ve had enough of my treatment?”
“Alice...” [name] sighed, closing her eyes. “Can you shut up for a second?”
Alice was thrilled. “Is that how you talk to a Nakiri--Mmph!”
Their lips finally connected because [name] lost all her patience. She let her feelings loose and closed the gap, knowing that Alice toyed with her the whole time to bring her to this point. It was so obvious...She has been so blind to her sempai’s affection. But now she will regret it. Alice was kissing her back, trying to establish dominance--but she was in no position to do that. [name] was on top; she had the upper power. So she kept on kissing her, biting on her lips until they both lost their breath and parted. Panting hard, they stared into each other’s eyes, filled with lust.
“Well, well...” Alice sighed dreamily, her lips feeling rather sore. “Didn’t know you had it in you, [name]-chan.”
A light blush appeared on the girl’s cheeks and she looked away, realizing the intensity of the situation. This was embarrassing: what if she was being misled for blackmail? Alice could be manipulative sometimes. Though what she could get out of her, that was something she had no idea about. She had nothing. Alice had it all. She was [name]’s queen, her idol.
“Sh-Shut up...I-I’m sorry...” she apologizes, feeling stupid now. The kiss felt more than right; but what was Alice’s opinion on all this? Did she liked it? She looked more than flustered, spread onto that table so defensively. Her heavy chest was lifting up and down, so deliciously. Her dress was riding up her plump thighs as she lifted her legs to snake them around [name]'s waist, bringing her closer. She grinds against the toping female, making her hiss. [name] could feel everything, how wet Alice was through her panties and how desperately wanted to touch her.
Shit.
“Why are you sorry for?” the white haired female chuckled, somehow managing to escape [name]’s grip, loosened in her moment of admiration. Her hands cup [name]’s face, gently caressing it. “It was all planned, stupid~”
“Ah--! You--!” [name] felt like dying. “Why?”
“Because I like you, of course! Just wanted to give you a little push! Seems like my dishes worked their magic...” There was something mischievous and hidden in her tone.
‘So that’s why I’m feeling so light and tipsy...' “You did something...?”
“Aphrodisiacs.” Alice smirked. “To put you in the mood.” [name] was too euphoric to actually care. It got her what she wanted, no? “Now...” Alice brings her closer. “Shall we continue?”

Little rant about Fluttershy in “Sounds of Silence”
So, I suppose by the time I finish writting this, some people will already air reviews about the episode, but I still wanna complain talk about this (especially considering that apparently some peope like my opinion ?). Watching the names shown at the beggining of the episode, apparently the person who made “Sounds of Silence” is a famous person who never wrote an MLP episode before. But, without sounding mean, you can feel it with the way that person wrote Fluttershy.
Note : this is just a personnal opinion and if you disagree with me it’s completely fine. Also I saw the episode before it aired on Discovery Family so it’s possible for me to be wrong about one or two details because it’s been a little while now.
So, to put it simple there are two things that bother me in the way Fluttershy was written :
First off, her fears. Now, I know Fluttershy is the most coward of the mane 6 but thing is, she truly grew over the last few years. And the thing is, she lived worse than what happens in this episode, making her fears rather odd. I mean :
- When she sees the shield at the beggining, she’s immediately terrified at the thought of the Niriks, while in the past she had to confront other creatures who seemed way more dangerous. Heck, in the finale, (Spoiler warning for the end of that paragraph !) she literally says that she would never call the other creatures “monsters” and she clearly wasn’t afraid of them so why would she be so afraid now ? (I insist on the “so” because her being scared isn’t that much of a surprise, it’s mostly how much she is that is weird)
- Her being so scared of going into the forest. I swear when I saw that I was like “Fluttershy, buddy, you went into the most random and dangerous forest in Equestria like a dozens of times, including one in season 1 in which you were alone and got attacked by a giant monster. And you once went back in it to find the CMCs. And your house is literally next to said-forest. So why are you so scared of the Kirins’ forest ? Because creatures way less scary and dangerous for you than that gigantic hydra may live in it ? Really ?”...I think this easily sums up my point.
- Her being so fearful of Autumn Blaze. Alright, I can agree, she has her reasons to be scared when fire is all around her, I give her that. However, considering Applejack tells her that there’s nothing to fear and considering that the Kirin went back to her original form, I’m kind of surprised about Fluttershy still looking nervous. But honestly I think this comes from two things : me spending the entire episode wondering why is Fluttershy so afraid of everything; and the fact that Fluttershy is implied to go to Chaosville (honestly why is it called “ville” when it’s just one house with just rocks and a mailman pony floating around) at least every two weeks (switching who hosts the tea party) and was shown to cool down a marshmallow by using a mini-volcano while being at the ceiling of the weirdest house she could find. So here I think it’s more of a personnal opinion : after seeing Fluttershy go through a lot of shit and having a god of Chaos as husbando best friend, it just feels weird to see her scared of everything like that.
Secondly, my biggest issue with the episode : her anger. Thing is, here, Fluttershy just randomly snaps, and it’s weird :
- The first moment she snaps, when Applejack isn’t listening to her about the shortcut, is actually understandable. Though, maybe it’s just me but I remember Fluttershy having more patience than that, with the only exception being her brother.
- But what bothers me the most is the second time, when they talk about what to do for the Kirins. Thing is, it just feels completely forced. Seriously, there are three other instances in which the two had a disagreement :
  -“Bats”, in which Fluttershy still had her strongly shy nature and didn’t raise her voice, though the others still listened to her. Also, to Applejack’s point of view, her entire farm was in danger so it’s no surprise to see her get so mad about it.
  - “Viva Las Pegasus”, in which it was again personnal for Applejack, considering her conflicts with the Flim Flam bros; and again Fluttershy didn’t have to raise her voice and all she did was going her way until Applejack actually accepts to listen to her (and then she goes full awesome sarcasm...Fluttershy is best pony !)
  - The comic book issue 48, the first one of the “Chaos Theory” arc with Accord. Now, this arc may be my least favorite of the “more than two books” stories but I will admit that I just love its premise, moslty because of Fluttershy and Applejack. In short, the mane...8? (mane 6 + Spike + Starlight) go to see an event about special stars appearing every 100 years or something but then Discord suddenly appears, starts doing shit, is called out by the group, goes away and then later on the group finds an eggs which turns into Accord, the total opposite of Discord (and I swear Accord may say he has all of Discord’s memories but he clearly doesn’t share his emotions because most of the time he talks to Twilight, who Discord seems to still despise, and he barely interacts with Fluttershy while acting like he simply doesn’t care about her !). But thing is, in this first book, Applejack is the first one to get mad at Discord, and seconds later Fluttershy comes and defends him. Then, when he’s gone, Fluttershy is still shown to try convicing random people that Discord is a good person, only to have Applejack criticizing him. And once Accord appears, Applejack is the happiest while Fluttershy looks heartbroken when she says his name (the pic of her when she says “Accord, huh ?...okay...”). So again, there’s a conflict between Fluttershy and Applejack without having Fluttershy shouting (and then (spoilers) the conflict is sadly forgotten for the rest of the book until just one of the last pages when we see both mares interact with Discord on pics next to each other, probably made to do the parallel between them) 
But suddenly, we have Fluttershy getting mad extremely easy just for the sake of having the two argue so the Kirins can try putting them in the Stream of Silence...I mean, sure, she’s worried about the animals in the forest, but that’s not a reason for her of all ponies to suddenly shout, especially after going on other missions that always made the group think of alternative solutions. And speaking of this, one last thing that annoys me in this scene is that, to be honest, I really though that when Applejack gets back, she would have found Fluttershy silent like the kirins; and that makes me think that, because of her getting so mad about how the kirins needs to stay silent, having Fluttershy be so scared of ending up in the Stream kind of makes her look like a hypocrite because she’s afraid of living in silence but at the same time claims that another species as sentient as her should.
So here’s my little rant about how best pony wasn’t being best pony. Though, on a lighter note, I still enjoyed the episode. The kirins have a great design and Autumn Blaze is a really great addition to the cast and I really hope we will see her again someday ! Seriously, she’s like Pinkie Pie but with a more “nowadays’ young adults” voice (I swear the moment the she talks about Phantom of the Opera, her tone of voice makes me think of young adult with expressions like “freaking half mask” or “another dude”; by the way because of that I can’t help laughing because her voice sounds so natural and yet she says stuff that sounds so weird in a supposed kid show !). Also, Applejack felt in character in this episode and, probably thanks to that, I’m glad most of the focus was on her. Also, although it wasn’t made in the best way, when you think of it, it’s the first map mission in which Fluttershy is the one in the wrong or who only helps a little in the problem (in season 5, she was the one who learnt thanks to the animals and Twilight only helped getting people’s attention; and in season 6, again, animals told her what was happening and she knew that she needed the bro’s help), so it’s interesting to have that little change. And lastly, about the episode, let’s not forget the song, probably my favorite of the season...although when you have like 6 songs in a season, it’s rather easy to pick one...
