“Fluttershy Leans In” (S7, E5) is one of my favorite Fluttershy-centered episodes. This episode really shows us her character growth and how she has gained the ability to assert herself when it really matters.
As we’re all well aware, she is the element of kindness. In previous episodes, we saw her be a total push over and doormat for whoever wanted her to be in an attempt to remain kind. But she worked on this through the seasons, like how she learned that saying no can be very important in being truly kind in the episode with the Breezies. We also saw her work on her assertiveness during Iron Will’s workshop episode. What makes “Fluttershy Leans In” so intriguing to me is that we see these lessons truly come together as Fluttershy attempts to clearly communicate her vision as she builds a reservation for the animals. When the contractors she hired ignores her desires, she eventually snaps and tells them that they’ve done the exact opposite of what she wanted and that she wouldn’t have them working for her anymore. I absolutely LOVE that she stood up for herself. I also love that it’s connected to the animals, which makes her more confident in what she has to say. Fluttershy has come so far and I think her character growth was written really well.

Do I have a RANT for you all.
I just finished watching S8 E16, “Friendship University” and the entire thing seems kind of silly to me! First of all, I was really hoping that Flim and Flam would actually aim to do better after they began running the resort in Las Pegasus. But at the same time, cons have been their thing their entire lives so it’s kind of refreshing to see people who aren’t particularly evil, they’re just kind shit and annoying as hell. But moreover, why would ANYONE, pony or otherwise, want to attend their school?
Excessive rant ⬇️
Obviously Flim and Flam are professional con artists and they did make a few good points. The legendary Starswirl the Bearded was attending their school (and using his studying as “motivation” or whatever for other students) and the school was located in a bustling city, Las Pegasus, with more opportunities than the small town that is Ponyville. This school was also accredited.
But even so!!! Twilight is the Princess of Friendship. She is an alicorn. ROYALTY. Not only is she Head Mare of her school, but it was endorsed by Princess Celestia, the ruler of Equestria. On top of this, the professors at her school are the other 5 of the mane 6. The school is literally ran and managed by the group of friends who saved equestrian MULTIPLE times. They published their friendship journal that got spread all throughout the lands. The school is wildly successful! Why would anyone ever choose Flim and Flam’s school when they could be taught under the literal Princess of friendship? Please make it make sense. I just think it’s silly. Anyway.
On a similar note, I think other schools of friendship across the lands isn’t such a bad idea! It would make spreading the magic of friendship a lot easier and the education more accessible to all kinds of creatures! I think it would be cool if this was an idea further explored in the series.
Happy Nightmare Night to all!!🦇💕
