The fic I really want to write
My husband and I have been talking about the Wonderbolts a lot lately. We've noticed a disturbing pattern. Episode after episode they seem to take their moral cues not from within themselves but from the outside.
RD: "Hey, you should be loyal to your teammates and not cast them off to win a competition."
Spitfire: "Oh, right. Okay."
RD: "Hey, you probably shouldn't do dangerous stunts that could get other ponies needlessly hurt."
SF: "Oh, right. Thanks, we totally never understood that before."
So our realization is that some of the Wonderbolts, including Spitfire, seem to be sociopaths.
This led to the interesting conversation: Just how often do the Wonderbolts have to keep messing up before Rainbow Dash realizes there is something off about some of them. My husband jokingly said that she probably would never notice until she caught them dumping a body off a cliff.
RD: "Hey, you shouldn't kill other ponies."
SF: "Oh! We didn't realize that. You really do have so much to teach us."
RD: "Uh, shouldn't you have just known murder was wrong?"
SF: "Apparently not, but thank you for the friendship lesson. We promise not to kill any pony again for minor transgressions."
RD: "Don't you mean you should never kill any pony again? Like at all?"
SF: "Uh...right. That's compeltely the lesson we just learned. Killing other ponies is not cool."
So I guess I want to write a fic that is not at all serious and very tongue in cheek called: "5 times Rainbow Dash didn't realize the Wonderbolts were sociopaths and the 1 time she did."
I love 5 times fics...
