sunset's backstage pass

[western-magical-girl-confessions]

“To this day, I still liked Sunset's Backstage Pass, but it doesn't go without its faults. I just don't like how Sunset was to blame for the special's conflict entirely when Pinkie was also being significantly over the top too, not really acknowledging that the concert was important to Sunset. I understand that she might couldn't help it (especially since she MIGHT be Austic-codded), but I just don't like that the conflict was written as ONLY Sunset's fault and only for HER to learn a lesson.”

Final attempt of making it appear in the specific tag feed. So it’s split it into 3 parts. This is the last, part 3 of 3.

full post here (before I split them into 3)

Now to destroy the she’s the worst or did the worst notion.

It’s really easy to squander this.

The first reason why she it’s simply false is because Sunset and The Dazzlings exist

Sunset Shimmer is number 1. Why? Well you can watch the first movie yourself (It’s likely still on youtube or elsewhere) and it’s somewhat much Princess Celestia’s fault but we’re only told on things from the one who did not go after her when she had the time or at least send a person to go before twilight became a princess.

Remember, this is the same one who previously sealed her sister in the moon (and clearly Nightmare Moon didn’t harm any of their subjects and we see the memory of why when twilight drinks that thing cause harmony tree acting weird episode) for a very long time like uh 1000 years or something and didn’t even try to find out why this happened why her sister was like this. She kind of seems to not know how to confront things without closing away, no second chances, leaving behind or punishing without thinking who defies what she thinks they should do, until Twilight and her main friends became her problem solvers.

Unless that idw Sunset backstory is canon (and no idk. I normally only go by the shows/movies/specials in this), we can only go with Celestia’s words of why Sunset fled based on not getting what she wished for and Sunset’s explanations (from the first eg initially) in her many sagas that I’m too lazy to review atm (it’s probably identical though or implicative).

That’s pretty malicious to do to your own sister and then you replace her identity basically but not dream help part which probably caused some problems or crazy nightmares and supernatural phenomenon crap without Luna (yes I’m aware she wouldn’t know of Luna’s literal dream task. Regardless she replaced her either way. And it warped people‘s through generations minds away while marking her for so so long and after restored). Ironically Celestia did everything Luna was mad for at a higher level.

Okay, continuing with Sunset Shimmer.

You really can easily say that she’s done the most and caused the most impact out of everyone. There’s no need to really explain how deep it is here. lets just cut to the chase. Even before becoming some type of demon (yes she was showing sign of regret before it took control of her while transforming but that doesn’t matter really since it was still mostly all of her) she tried to destroy Twilight’s portal to back home and her henchmen threatened her talking dog pet (spike the dragon in her world) as a last resort to get that crown for power.

Then while a demon, she destroyed a piece of the school turned everyone into a zombie army for her quest to conquer Equestria world and then she actually tried to destroy Twilight and her human counterpart friends. Even before all of that near the end of the movie, she was doing all kinds of menacing things to Twilight, even breaking her human counterpart friendship (although it was partially their own faults for not trying to find the truth) and about everyone else in the school since Sunset first went to the human world).

Her affect lingered and this predicament is what brought the Dazzlings to town for singcourse purposes the next movie to pretty much cause and do the same thing Sunset previously did. And during that movie people and her friends generally would well, mark her past against her intentionally or unintentionally. Even the principal sisters if I remember. And Sunset had to live with the shame, learn and grow from the experience.

She saves everyone from Dazzlings so they slowly respect her or won’t mark her like earlier. Then she and about everyone from Cantelot High And Crystal Prep helps save people Twilight Sparkle from her Midnight Sparkle State so yeah. Her past is being let go but more an more (Even if she mentions the moment herself in Mirror Magic).

As the stories went on, her past she doesn’t like is close to being unmentioned by all. She’s being treated well by all normally. but as you know you know after Legend Of Ever Free, it’s not over. Trixie was being a conceited brat and everyone else, minus Wallflower, try to get her to look past old memories.

Now where I’m going with this is that not everyone is gonna forgive or simply forgive Sunset of what she did in the past just for saving them or being with saviors or heroes. Unfortunately it could be remembered if you give enough reason or cause enough reason. It may take a varying time duration. But after that movie it’s pretty much easy to say she may have an almost 0% chance to be called out by her past. Just explaining the Sunset Shimmer impact is legit greater than every Equestria Girls Villain and Antagonist.

2. Dazzlings for obvious reasons they’d be number 1 if Sunset wasn’t a thing. Like I said in an earlier post

It‘s mostly a Sunset Movie 1 copy paste modify.

3. These were to difficult to rank so They will all be in the same tier:

Midnight sparkle and Crystal Prep Academy vs. Vignette Valencia vs. Postcrush

You know what? Twilight is the false villain/antagonist.

The real antagonists/villains were Principal Cinch and The Shadowbolts.

You got a girl who got guilt tripped and peer pressured by like the entire crystal prep body (minus Cadence and Shining Armor) to use the magic for the sake of winning a game, which resulted in her becoming mad with knowledge and power who can rip the dimensions between pony world and the current world. Causing certain individuals to almost fall through while some ponies witness this chaos. And then Principal Cinch turns her back on her and everyone and leaves the server lol.

And this leads to another point. Since certain people had that wanted the Wallflower get jailed sentiment, what do you say for this? would you pick Twilight to go for giving in or the shadowbolts and principal cinch For causing possible destruction of 2 universes. This weird jailing desire went stale once Cinch got away with for like this 3rd movie. It’s time to move on. Oh And This Twilight was traumatized of herself til near the end of the Everfree movie.

Now then vs. Vignette Valencia who’s a star with too high demands, made her designer quit. She tries to get Sunset and Sunset’s friends be her ideal versions of them in the parade. And when they didn’t abide to get standards, she used her phone to digitize them if she could to some area elsewhere and makes virtual versions of them for her outside world band. I think she also did this to strangers too. Apparently it’s a real place they get transported to from digitization. So later on, she was being booed, so she was about to digitize the crowd. The 7 stopped her. I’m not sure if she was told or believed this but she could have well well… *What happens if you put more ice inside a closed bottle than can be contained?* And yes the people heard what Apple Jack told them of danger she possessed with that phone. (I think likely she only consider Rarity and friends as the closest things of friends to her but still….)

vs. Postcrush

So in a nutshell, Sunset is hit by this band force after being kicked out and the next day it’s the same. Each day no matter what she tries, it loops to that same day again. She’s the only one aware. So sometime later she suspects the Dazzlings did it. Then takes her frustrations out on Pinkie Pie (she was distracted by food or something when she’s supposed to keep guard) bit after learning they had nothing to do with what’s going on this time. So Adagio gives Sunset a word of advice that if the day still loops, maybe she’s the reason it is looping. So Sunset decides to be a better friend of Pinkie this next loop day.

They end up finding out, thanks to Sunset’s memory accessing magic ability, that Supernova Zap and Kiwi Lollipop are the one’s causing the loop. And the reason is because K-Lo and Su-Z want their attempt to be perfect due to problems happening per performance. Sunset tries to tell them it’s not possible for them to meet the criteria of pure perfection. But you know they didn’t care what she said (even though they now know that Sunset Shimmer is being personally affected by it. This isn’t like I want revenge or I don’t forgive the past. It’s just I’m we’re using the Time Twirl device and no one will stop me us.).

Oh yeah they decided to kick them out and planned on ban looping them (they know and remember well who, what they are and look like and can decently draw who them. So if this this day didn’t go ideal as desired or as wanted, there is basically no more chances to stop the loop if they loop again). Oh and by the way this time loop occurred for THREE WEEKS! Luckily Sunset and Pinkie foiled their plan and showed them what True Original really means.

4. Juniper Montage.

So umm briefly um starting with the Movie Magic special. Sunset and friends trick and expose who’s been stealing or damaging the approved Daring Doo props and stuff that could have harmed people of the set. She explains cause I guess Chestnut is really annoying and eating all the things she likes (wish she was present but Chestnut felt the same too of people eating all what she likes but she didn’t know Pinkie ate what she liked earlier too). That’s not the real reason. The real reason is her ambition to want to be daring doo but her uncle (the director of the set I think) but he ignored her.

I’m not sure if he’s not denying that he did ignore her but the reason is because she’s too short or I think young to play her and is without experience. She thought that if she did all this maybe he’d change his mind (and by the way his contract with Chestnut Manifico was waning at the time (Idk. If that’s happening, maybe you should have gave her a chance as a backup plan since you know how she is before all of this)). Anyways he kicks her out of the set. The last thing they all see is a sign of this isn’t over. Then by a miracle, Chestnut’s contract was extended and everything went as planned without her.

Sometime later on, Juniper is given a job as an usher in Mirror Magic. The first thing she sees is those girls who got her kicked from the set singing everywhere on video and with those crystal prep girls from a previous special I think.

And if things weren’t worse enough, she finds out those same girls were part of the daring doo casting set (had roles in the movie). I don’t think people realize how spiteful that would appear to be against her. (I kinda dislike now her uncle for that (Alone) and were they experienced too (well besides Rainbow Dash cause she’d be perfect to play Daring Doo probably) but actually it's her dang fault fault for creating damage and danger and endangerment and she deserved it. Was Chestnut eating all her snacks I guess she a squirrel lol. Anyways so I kind of don't dislike him for making the right call as much anymore.)?

Anyways she does not give a crap about her new job. So she has a mirror that makes popcorn disappear but currently it no longer works as intended.

*And so it got worse.* The ones who put her where she is now, are in this same area. So they, besides Sunset, learn that she wasn’t invited to that premiere (that was probably a good thing then again she’d feel humiliated either way). Then Rainbow Dash provokes Juniper about what she shouldn’t have done, which caused her to lash out at them and then wish for them to go away and leave her alone (*based 😂*)* which the mirror approved*. So now they are trapped in the mirror in some form of limbo. (They kind of had it coming simply for just being in the environment of who they know is pissed off at them earlier. Stay careful of word or surroundings but whatever).

While Glimmer tells Shimmer not to worry while of what could when things are fine of now, Juniper is using her mirror as a snacks trashcan. It hits the trapped ones but Pinkie Pie eats the candy. So now Sunset discovers Juniper’s presence and has her and Starlight hide. She notice’s Fluttershy’s barrette and decides to confront her alone. So she sees her memories since she didn’t tell what happened to her friends (well knew she wouldn’t tell). She asks for her friends back out but Juniper decides no u go inside too.

Now that 7 are in the mirror, their magic ends up transforming Juniper into what she believes is a real star (probably because that’s the only way it seems she’d be taken seriously based upon the past to present). Pretty much, it corrupted her to the point where it appears fearful people are fans. Starlight takes the mirror but she broke a piece of it doing so. *Now as it’s breaking* So Juniper tries to take it back from her by attacks or throws objects as her, while it breaks further. The ones trapped don’t know what will happen to them if fully breaks as they see it shatter internally as well. All rests on Starlight Glimmer’s hands.

The reason she’s doing this and doesn’t care is because they kinda took her ambition away (could this be similar to Sunset’s feelings when Celestia didn’t agree, restricted her path, kept truths away from her, end up driving her away because she didn’t like Sunsets path and ideas and place her views above Sunset’s?). Her wants and her dreams. Not only that, but she literally has to be in a mall where their existence can be seen and heard from on multiple videos. She feels she has nothing else. Starlight convinces her that she shouldn’t continue and suggests she maybe she’s looking for or could have a friend. Juniper wonders who. Starlight said she would and her friends can be too and would forgive her. So she releases them.

*Juniper Montage apologizes*

and Starlight, Human counterpart Twilight, and Sunset, talk about they are used to or understand her reasons (they’re a kinda messed up group of forgiving friends.) (3 of 8). They’re friends now.

5. Gloriosa Daisy as Gaia Everfree. (Now that I think about it perhaps this could be on the same tier with Wallflower.)

Now Idk why but Filthy Rich apparently owns the land Gloriosa’s great grandparents founded.

Yeahhhhh… I really don’t understand how that happens. Does this have to do with somehow, even if you completely own something, if you don’t pay for some service(s) or tax(es), even if you have no alignment with it, you can lose your property regardless? Is it some kind of weird force payment law or some crap? I have no idea. I wish they told what type of payments because what is she paying for and why and why him. Like imagine if Princess Celestia and Luna, losing their castle they founded and it is now owned by filthy rich. Like WHAT?!

Anyways, she now has only a month to left to raise enough before he turns the camp into a spa resort. (Appears that task couldn’t be completed) So she finds some special items. It lets her control the land. She wants to make the week (of this Legend Of Everfree movie or special), the best week because she’s about to lose her land. She thinks she’s got it, control of this magic. Even though Timber Spruce, her brother, is trying to stop her from making excessive use of it or letting go. He even covers for her actions if it was too supernatural. But ya know her time is waning, and that Filthy Rich is playing with their lives or land (well mostly her life and love).

So she was bored when human Derpy and some person I forgot, were trying to make the boat go faster, so Gloriosa used her power to give it a little push. It went fast but unfortunately it crashed and destroyed part the boating dock or deck thing.

Another time was when there was no water where Trixie and some person attempted fishing. Gloriosa removes the rocks dam, which free the the water for them to fish but those rocks fell somewhere (which shocked the campers elsewhere). And then there’s some which magic aura crap, randomly leaked on the grass ground.

So anytime, depending on when or where she uses the magic, it could be creating another problem or really dangerous potentially.

Her desire for saving the camp is stronger than Twilight trying to reason with her (yes, Sunset saw memories earlier of Gloriosa in this case). So she transforms into Gaia Everfree, traps her, Sunset, and dog counterpart Spike in vines then blocks the entrance to the cave with boulders. She sees them as obstacles.

Meanwhile she flies or hovers towards the camp area, explains her hatred of Filthy Rich and destroys part of the deck they built earlier, while covering the camp with plants vines and stuff. Her song reinforces her hatred of the Greedy Wolf (song link here).

Everyone hears where she coming from but they are mostly terrified by what she’s doing. And trying to stop her or protect themselves or others or escape. but she believes she’s doing the right thing for the past, present, & future. So her precious place and the campers precious place can never be taken away.

The only problem is that she’s um keeping the campers locked inside or trapped. Area without an exit. And the part where she might crush people due to her overflowing power or possibly prevent oxygen intake by covering them in plants. She thinks she got this still (Even if her little brother is trying to reach her). Oh yeah Rarity unfortunately mentioned Spa to her over camp which definitely pissed her off even further. Gloriosa is trying to protect a precious memory for her, her brother and everyone of before, and now. The amount of vines and stuff and what the do while growing and increase, appear to be synonymous to her state as time passes by.

Well she gets defeated by Twilight and friends (well killed or displaced briefly by the impact since she was kinda one with nature) from their magic impact and later everyone helps clean her mess. She apologizes to Celestia and Luna because her goals were to make it good for them all as a final time but it was a disaster. They all agreed to help Gloriosa and Timber, fix, fund the camp, and foil the Filthy Wolf’s plan. All works out and that’s all. (Hmm maybe Gloriosa is like more similar to Wallflower or contrasting than I thought. Maybe that’s why it’s before Forgotten Friendship)

Well that’s all I got to say of The Wallflower Blush and Forgotten Friendship (oh well), while talking about the other actions and stuff of Equestria Girls Antagonists/Villains in comparison.

And no, I don’t really dislike any of them (except probably Cinch and PostCrush). The Main interest I usually look forward to is Sunset Shimmer.

Too bad this series is currently Forever over, forevermore!
