Flawless Propaganda: 1. In context of the episode it comes across as ''we'll never be perfect so we don't need to try for self improvement.''. 2. MLP eventually found a default sound pallet that becomes the go to style for a lot of the music in later seasons. Not only do more and more songs start to sound the same, the sounds they did chose sound sterile and uninspired, and Flawless is one of many songs that sound like nothing as a result. 3. It's annoying. The chorus melody sounds like something children would sing on a playground to taunt you and the vocal performances sound pious and arrogant
The season 7 episode Fame and Misfortune is severely underrated.
It not only captures captures the essence of obnoxious, loud assholes in the fandom, but Twitter culture as well.
We see grown, adult ponies gather in large, angry mobs, and harass the Mane 6 over pieces of the journal taken out of context, or just outright misunderstood. But these mobs don't care that they're misunderstanding the journal and its messages; they just want to be angry. They would rather just shout angrily though a megaphone directly in other's faces, with no regard for personal boundaries or respect, because they want to illustrate the point that they are, in fact, angry.
I think that describes Twitter/X culture perfectly.
Plus the song Flawless fucking slaps
And making "Rarity hate" a thing in the episode was hilarious
Actions have consequences. Especially if it’s a fandom-frustration-plus-PTSD-fueled rage bender across Equestria. Perhaps moon banishment would’ve been a better outcome?
you ever wondered what flawless would look like if it was on a VHS tape that's kind of warn out because you've watched more times than you can count? probably not but that's what I tried to emulate with these videos I made, I call them 'flawless but you're watching it on VHS' 📼💗🧸😄
I'm also still not over the fact that season 7 has a whole episode that's literally just dedicated to making fun of fans for having harmless criticisms about the show. Twenty minutes of just the writers bitching. it's so stupid. and for some fucking reason it has one of the best songs in the entire show.
Balthazar, what do you think you would have done had you not answered Aldori's call? Where did you see yourself?
"Where indeed... Well, I was between things at the time. I suppose I would have found something else! I was on my way to New Stetven, you know. I'd planned to seek patronage there*- my talents make me a valuable companion.** It may have been nice to settle somewhere for a time so lively and connected to court intrigues. And past that who knows? Perhaps I would have made my way north to Mendev. Aasimar are surely a sign of fortune on the edge of the Worldwound. There's a living to be made there as one, I imagine. But Mendev aside, it had always been my plan to see the lovely northern reaches of Avistan and the quieter corners of the continent.*** Wanderlust brought me this far, and that love of the road that took me into the wilds of the Stolen Lands.**** I don't imagine I would still be traveling though! At least, I hope I wouldn't..."
