I know, I know, I’m basically kicking a mare while she’s down with this…but to be honest, I really can only spare so much sympathy for Lightning Dust if this was her actual fate after “The Washouts,” because, no matter how you slice it…she still brought it down upon herself. And the sooner she realizes that, the sooner she’ll learn at this point.
 
I had wanted to add a drink and straw in there somewhere too, but couldn’t figure out a good place to put it. ;)
 
On the technique side of things, used a new tactic for putting this together that I recently learned, and it’s been a huge timesaver, as it lets me not have to fret unnecessarily so much about the little details (that none of you viewers are ever going to see anyway) as much as I had in the past, making the digital side of things much easier and less stressful. Can’t wait to try on some other projects of mine, but for now, an episode-centric comic for your consumption. :)

The worse of the walls of text that were posted here were people having off-topic discussions, which we don’t want on images. One of the problems with the tag you are suggesting is that people follow those tags tend to “ in” on the off topic discussions.
 
So please don’t add that tag to this image.

Maybe “needing” is a strong statement, let me try this again.
 
Some would appreciate bestowing on such lustrous walls of text, why, these comments are so long that a man would need seven of the strongest horses to navigate though them! To deprive them of their tag is a abhorrent travesty!
 
I ask thy my good mod, let them know.

Lighting dust doesn’t need rainbow dash as a partner in crime just as a rival and she already has an awesome team and life now and she did it all by herself with no help from rainbow dash or the wonderbolts, they would have kept on holding her back from her dreams and true potential.

If you want to talk about this artist’s work, this is the place for it. But if you want to talk about the season or the episode itself, please use the forums.
 
This artist’s work has been derailed enough, don’t you think?
This whole episode was a massive disappointment. Dusty could have been Dash’s partner in crime like Starlight but we got ripped off, fite me

You are already booped.
I was really hoping someone would draw something like this (we’d seen it with Spitfire, but not with Lightning Dust.) Though preferably with RD and Scoots g Dusty’s cast to say there’s no (well, not many) hard feelings.

That’s not how you spell “Trixie.”
