My thoughts on Twilight Sparkle

7 Oct

Talking about Twilight Sparkle and Twilight Sparkle friends. Twilight Sparkle is the star of the TV Show called Friendship is Magic.

Good things: She reminds me of my big sister in ways, Sharing some of the same pro’s and con’s, Very good quotes, Sharing the same personality traits in ways.

Bad things: Meltdowns, worrying, panic-attacks, angry, behavior problems time to time, other things. I don’t found those moments hilarious, entertaining. I don’t why people like it, enjoy it. Seeing her that way in the episode, fan made pictures, stories, video’s around the ideas. You really view yourself as a fan. Don’t see a fan at all.

Alot of people with Asperger’s Syndrome can relate to Twilight Sparkle. Twilight does have Autistic Traits and Asperger’s Syndrome Traits:

(Asperger’s Syndrome)

1) In Lesson Zero Twilight Sparkle consistently keeps schedules

2) Has difficulty reading other ponies’ emotions and misinterprets slang. (in “Look Before You Sleep”, there’s a scene where she, Applejack, and Rarity are playing a guessing game with Twilight. When Applejack asks if they are hot are cold, Twilight takes it literally and asks if she needs to change the room temperature.

3) Is socially awkward.

4)her high levels of intelligence

5) her refusal to believe in that which cannot be analyzed

Autism Traits:

1) OCD

2) Socially Awkward

3) Terrible Meltdowns

4) Obsessive Behavior

Someone said those words: Twilight has Big OCD Problems showed off in Lesson Zero. The person was asking about Twilight sane. I found someone notes talking about Twilight Sparkle having Asperger’s said those words: She has stage 5 meltdowns with Stage 2 problems (Like the episode Lesson Zero). Want observed Lesson Zero the same-way.

1) When Twilight talking to herself in yelling/screaming/odd way in Lesson Zero. After Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy did not listen, believe her. Talking with yourself/screaming & yelling is two syndromes of meltdowns in adults with Asperger’s & High-Functioning Autism.

2) If classified Twilight Mental Breakdown as Paranoia.

3) Twilight Snapping at her friends: Rage

Paranoia and Rage has connections with Autism Meltdowns. Another ideas Twilight was showing off the three syndromes of Asperger Syndrome Meltdown in a child toward her friends.

1) Rumbling: Nearby people can tell that something is wrong, and is about to blow. The child shows a buildup of emotions with words (screaming, nonsense noises).

2) Rage: (S)he may start screaming, crying, flailing, or hitting him/herself. This corresponds to the resistance phase of the general adaptation syndrome, in which the child takes action to combat the threat posed by the antecedent (such as the parent’s aberrant behavior).

3) Recovery: After the explosion, the autistic person retreats. (S)he may seek alone time, fall asleep, try to pretend that nothing happened, or apologize.

Twilight Meltdown maybe look and sound scary, shocking, crazy, insane, psycho, unsettling, paranoia, etc. Twilight does not really hurt any pony. Twilight causes a problem by using her magic. The laugh is a force laugh.

Want share someone comments after watching 3 episodes of Friendship is Magic under the ideas Twilight Sparkle being Autistic:

Twilight Prefers books to people. Has special interests (in magical history.) Was explicitly instructed to socialise, because she wasn’t doing it without being told to. Her mentor asked her to send her a letter each day explaining what she learned about social skills. Flips the F**k out one time when she forgot to write the letter on time and thereby disrupted her routine plus broke the rules”

Someone Tumblr post said those words: Twilight Sparkle is the poster child for functional, exceptional aspie. She reads constantly and is obsessed with learning everything. She had no interest in social interaction until her mentor gave her the assignment to study friendship. She keeps extremely detailed lists and has once completely melted down when she thought she might turn in an assignment late. While she’s very functional, she shows what aspies who excel in life are really like.

The best words to describe Twilight Sparkle Lesson Zero. Those words from a article about kids with Asperger’s Syndrome Meltdowns.

”The fact that the child is good-natured most of the time makes such outbursts all the more bewildering. The child can seem to be a “Jekyll and Hyde.”

People thought Discord psychologically damaged Twilight Sparkle. The ideas Twilight Sparkle fell into Insanity, went insane, crazy, other-things. What the heck

People with Aspergers have trouble disgusting reality from fantasy.

Twilight Sparkle two daydreams in Lesson Zero

1) Stuck in Magic Kindergarten as punishment

2) Twilight notices a few fillies playing jump rope, then she imagines them laughing at her, in an almost literally hellish background.

Another ideas: Twilight Sparkle could not accept the fact failure in any sharp or form and obsession about the friendship report. Not a forum of madness, crazy, insanity.

Side-note: I did not found Lesson Zero hilarious, entertaining more the category: statementing the following: ”Twilight Sparkle is autistic”. Discord is funny, hilarious but Twilight acting nothing herself: really sad, confusing, eye opening, makes me said the following: WTF. Lisa Simpson from the Simpsons similar to Twilight Sparkle in many-ways.

Here is a comment: I read somewhere that Lauren Faust wanted to give Twilight Asperger’s, but Hasbro refused to let her because they thought children would have difficulty comprehending it.

As side-note: I can’t found the article, comment, interview explaining that. Under the category: 100% True or 100% Fake.

I view Twilight Having High Functioning Autism. Similar to or the same as Asperger’s syndrome. People with High functioning autism more often have problems functioning independently. Classified Twilight as someone who needs help from Spike the dragon, her friends, Princess Celestia. A little touch of compulsiveness, not obsessive compulsiveness, just a little compulsiveness, little eccentric. Twilight handles with: comparative grace, does not create any way of Anxiety. Only few times: she does have a mental breakdown are basically justified.

I don’t view her being crazy, psycho, insane, etc. In-fact Twilight is sane/normal in my book. Twilight has problems time to time related to her Disability. Can’t see Twilight hurting, threatening her friends, going crazy/insane/Psycho at all. Love seeing pictures, stories, video’s, episodes showing off Twilight in a proactive way. Some people classified Lesson Zero as a hint or proofing that Twilight highly intelligence character has Asperger’s Syndrome.

Twilight learns from her mistakes the hard way. Same ideas with Rarity, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Applejack. Twilight friends sometimes don’t understand her time to time. Twilight friends love Twilight very much anyway.

I recently got a good comment saiding showing off Twilight and her friends going too far an overstepping :the bounds of assertiveness, making a mistake: the criticism there actions is implicit in the context. Very Understandable reason in many-ways.

Here is a comment: I’ve noticed that a lot of people with Asperger’s syndrome relate with the characters from Friendship is Magic, particularly Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy, and Pinkie Pie

Twilight, Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy are three characters. Have learn many things throughout the series. Since moving to Ponyville, Twilight is much more willing to interact and make more friends. Fluttershy has come out of her shell much more often. And Pinkie is far less prone to extreme highs and lows.

Pinkie Pie, Fluttershy have Asperger’s Syndrome just like Twilight Sparkle. Info from the fans

(Pinkie Pie)

1) Pinkie Pie definitely has Aspergers. Though more people with Aspergers have trouble making friends. While Pinkie Pie has no problems at all making friends. I will and might though she dose come off as a little crazy and she seems to always have her head in the clouds. I also think that Fluttershy might also have Aspergers to but to a much lesser extent.

2) I never thought about it, but when you put it that way it really sounds like Pinkie may have asperger syndrome. It’s interesting because the idea that Pinkie might have Aspergers was just presented to me not even a week ago. Upon hearing that, I immediately started thinking about all times she’s shown signs of it (Episode 26 is a near perfect example)I think I could understand if people said “I think Fluttershy has Aspergers.” because she actually has symptoms of it.

3) The fact that they spend a lot of time inside their own minds seems the opposite of Pinkie Pie as she seems to voice her thoughts outwards and spends a lot of time with others… And also likes to be quite social and what not. She does seem to have a bit of social awkwardness about her, as in the fact she’s very random and doesn’t seem to understand she makes the other ponies think she’s weird.

4) ”Party of One” when Rarity spat out her punch in Pinkie Pie’s face and she didn’t seem to realise it was because Rarity was grossed out by Gummy swimming in the punch. Some people with aspergers act extremely extroverted to compensate.

5) Pinkie: Twilight, you did a great job your first time around. I’m sure that my first time was just as wobbly and bobbly and crasharific as yours

Twilight: really?

Pinkie: No, but did I make you feel better?

It shows that Pinkie has trouble seeing things from others point of view, and doesn’t quite understand their emotions.

(Fluttershy)

1) That part in the pilot when she goes from quiet and awkward to constantly talking upon seeing Spike is something I’ve frequently experienced.

2) There are several times where she shows a little bit too much sensitivity to other ponies/Spike’s feelings, though this can be explained by saying that she learned these skills the hard way, and she suffered related to her having Aspergers could have made her become such a doormat and taught her to be hypersensitive to the feelings of others in certain situations. Even though she shows some socially empathetic depth at times there is enough other times where it is clear that she really has no idea what other ponies are feeling and she is just trying extra hard to not offend anypony.

3) I can see many traits of Aspeger’s Syndrome: mainly her empathy and compassion for animals.

4) She has trouble understanding other like how in Sonic Rainboom Fluttershy failed to notice she was actually increasing Rainbow Dash Anxiety.

Rainbow Dash has Asperger’s Syndrome as well.

(Rainbow Dash)

1) Rainbow Dash: isn’t exactly the most social pony and is prone to dorky moments such as in “May the Best Pet Win” and “Read it and Weep”. There is someone video on YouTube saiding: Rainbow Dash’s Autism Is Quite Mild, So It’s Hard To Notice It. I Noticed It. The person diagnosis Rainbow Dash with Asperger’s Syndrome.

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp_npvGZGRk

Some people are convinced Rainbow Dash has ADHD after the episode called Testing, Testing 1, 2, 3. Rainbow Dash maybe have both ADHD and Asperger Syndromes.

Tumblr comment: Talking about all members of the Mane 6 are Autistic

Judging by many things Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Twilight Sparkle all have a forum of Asperger Syndrome mild or extreme mild case of it.

Fluttershy also has SADs: A mild case at best. Which is to say, she gains energy by being alone. Or at least, not in the company of other ponies. Introverts are fine in social situations sometimes, but need a lot of downtime afterwards to recoup. It’s not a disorder, because it’s not crippling.

Pinkie Pie also has Bipolar Disorder: I think it wanes and waxes at different times, possibly seasonally. I think most of the time she has it pretty much under control (possibly with the use of medication), but in some cases (such as “Party of One”), it goes full-on manic-depressive.

Rarity is obsessive, but not compulsive.

Applejack is normal. Maybe have bit of pride, but nothing more.

In many ways Most of the Mane 6 are somewhat Disability Mild or Extreme mild at best. Rarity obsessive behavior maybe have ties with autism. Applejack is the most normal member of the team. Explains the episodes where acting nothing like themselves more straight-way. With the ideas Autism Meltdowns causing it or mental disorder.

Equestria Girls, Rainbow Rocks are my favorite because both movies show off Twilight in position/proactive way. Some people believe Sunset Shimmer is somewhat Autistic as well.

As someone said: I think that presents a positive message about finding good people to help out when needed. Maybe dislike Friendship is Magic time to time but at the sametime the characters get better in many-ways rather then stay the same-way.

Nickname for Twilight and her friends:

1) Rainbow Dash (Bart Simpson)

2) Fluttershy (StarFire)

3) Applejack (Sandy Cheeks)

4) Twilight Sparkle (Lisa Simpson)

5) Pinkie Pie (Spongebob Squarepants)

6) Rarity (Rainbow Dash G3

People honest think The Mane 6 have major health problems/ major mental illnesses. The way Mane 6 actor time to time horse/humans lack behavior skills, social skills, other-things.

Theory Rainbow Dash has As

15 Sep

AS stand for Asperger’s Syndrome. Another name is: Asperger’s Disorder. That is characterized by significant difficulties in social interaction and nonverbal communication, alongside restricted and repetitive patterns of behavior and interests.  Twilight Sparkle good case, Fluttershy good cases in many ways. Saiding that Twilight Sparkle has mild or very mild case of Asperger’s Syndrome closes the case behind that character very nicely.

What about the coolest member of the Mane 6 Rainbow Dash. Here is stuff that someone observed about Rainbow Dash: isn’t exactly the most social pony and is prone to dorky moments such as in “May the Best Pet Win” and “Read it and Weep”. There is someone video on YouTube saiding: Rainbow Dash’s Autism Is Quite Mild, So It’s Hard To Notice It. I Noticed It, And I Wanted To Make A Vid About It. The person diagnosis Rainbow Dash with Asperger’s Syndrome.

My comments: Possible that Rainbow Dash just like Twilight Sparkle has quite mild case of Asperger’s Syndrome. Both characters all-ways felt that way in my mind. The video creator said this line:  it’s kind of rare that people create autistic characters.

Rainbow Dash creepy Nightmare

9 Sep

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wzGCUv5RR0Y

Rainbow Dash nightmare start off normal and becomes weird. Rainbow Dash saids: Freaky Town, turns creepy with a jump scary. Rainbow Dash falling to her doom. Rainbow Dash Wakes up.

 The word freakytown summer up Friendship is Magic WTF moments in nutshell. Another word: LSD trip. The most fitting comment: Oh my, Rainbow Dash is on drug and LSD. Some-times should rename the series: LSD is Magic because the content creator favorite item. Some people maybe like the WTF moments of Friendship is Magic. My thoughts: Pointless, misleading in many ways. Life Lesson don’t do drugs as a content creator. The show is intent for little kids, girls. Wow just wow.

Here is the kid side of myself re-action: No comment

My version: Now I know why The Littlest Pet Shop much better because calm, straight forward, has less shocking moments. Friendship is Magic don’t found your WTF moments enjoyable, hilarious  and the reason because: does not help the character, feels nothing like Friendship is Magic. The honest truth the show itself has friendship problems, proactive the characters problems. Sure has Life Lessons but the same-time show me time to time does not like proactive the characters, Friendship, staying in-character. I don’t think Twilight Sparkle is crazy.  Friendship is Magic is crazy.

I do like the Show and without those moments much better TV show in many ways.

The history of Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3 From Friendship is Magic

9 Sep

The writer of the episode has a Son with a number of issues, and she had him in mind. What Twilight learns and so does Dash, is that there is no such thing as a person who “can’t learn.” She tries conventional (if very old-fashioned) educational methods, and then the others try different things, but isn’t until Twilight actually pays attention to Dash and how she learns that there’s breakthrough. Show off That Rainbow Dash is too cool for school attitude, and her earlier conviction that reading “isn’t cool,” because she thinks deep down that she “isn’t smart.”

Straight forward, portrays the characters in-proactive way, in-character. Not like other episodes of Friendship is Magic. Life Lessons and questionable moments. For example: episode Lesson Zero was showing off Twilight Sparkle being paranoia or having Asperger’s Syndrome Meltdown. I did mix her actions with syndromes of Autism Meltdowns, Meltdowns people with: Asperger’s Syndrome. Got good results in favor of the ideas. Much better madness, craziness, psycho, etc. Felt like the content creators were making another version of Discord or Derpy Hooves or something like that. Sometimes what the point having Twilight Sparkle acting that way. Not hilarious more into the category: Why, Why, Why.

Other episodes follow the same ideas questioning the content creators mind-set in many ways. Here is someone comments about the episode called Testing, Testing, 1, 2, 3. Rainbow Dash having ADHD pretty on the mark, especially with “Testing Testing 1 2 3” as a benchmark. The inability to sit still in a chair, finding distractions at every opportunity is compliant with some of the more severe symptoms of ADHD.

Analyzing Rainbow Dash

8 Sep

I found someone Analyzing/Psychology notes about: Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Rarity, Pinkie Pie, Applejack.

Note: The person took one abnormal psychology class in college and got the rest from friends who are psyche majors or from SciShow or Crash Course on youtube]

Part 1# Applejack is Normal: http://jonathanthoughtsrantsopnions.blogspot.ca/2015/09/anayzing-applejack-from-friendship-is.html 

ADHD: is a problem of not being able to focus, being overactive, not being able control behavior, or a combination of these.

Rainbow Dash has: ADHD: Actually pretty on the mark, especially with “Testing Testing 1 2 3” as a benchmark. The inability to sit still in a chair, finding distractions at every opportunity is compliant with some of the more severe symptoms of ADHD.

Possible that Rainbow Dash also has a form of Asperger’s Syndrome. Based on watching the character and someone video diagnosing  Rainbow Dash with Asperger’s Syndrome on YouTube.com.

Here is a link to the video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Tp_npvGZGRk

The person classified as Mild and It’s Hard To Notices It.

Next: Fluttershy

Rainbow Dash reminds me of Bart Simpson

5 Sep

Some people would said: Rainbow Dash. Reminds then of Sonic the hedgehog. In my mind Rainbow Dash reminds me of Bart Simpsons. Based on there coolness, ideas school for eggheads, awesomeness about then.

Bart Simpsons was diagnosis with ADHD in the episode called: “Brother’s Little Helper”. People have theory that Rainbow Dash has ADHD or ADD. Another theory Rainbow Dash has: Asperger’s Syndrome slimiar to Twilight Sparkle mild or very mild of it. The case behind: Rainbow Dash has Asperger’s Syndrome makes up a good case as well.

Observed that Friendship is Magic time to time does not treat Twilight Sparkle in the best ways. Life Lessons are good but showing off your character in anti-proactive ways. Showing how sad the show can be time to time. Not funny or hilarious at all in my book.

I said Twilight Sparkle has Asperger’s Syndrome just explain everything about the character. Twilight Sparkle not crazy or insane. She somewhat disability and her friends, others don’t understand. Based on the ideas that her personality and interests are more Asperger than anything else, she also tends to over analyze situations and meticulously explain simple facts. She also panics when things don’t go as planned. Some people classified Lesson Zero as a hint or proofing that Twilight Sparkle highly intelligence character has Asperger’s Syndrome.

Friendship is Magic: Randomness, Magic Trips, life lessons, non sense moments, confusing characters, out of Character moments/episodes, etc.

Time to time question the recommend target audience. The Mane 6 adventures, scenarios range from awesome to questioning the content creators in many ways.

The Littlest Pet Shop more straight then Friendship is Magic. Has some of the same content creators, voice actors, actresses.

Jon hurts Rainbow Dash Feelings

28 Aug

Jon was sleeping and unit he hear familiar voice said: want hang out with me. Jon Knew was Rainbow Dash. She all-ways love hang out with Jon.

Jon open his eyes and said: no Dash for the thousands time. Why should hang out with you. You are not cool, Loser, annoying as heck.

Rainbow Dash was sad, depression

Jon: What the matter to honest for you.

Twilight Sparkle saw Jon being mean toward Rainbow Dash.

Twilight Sparkle walk over

Twilight Sparkle: Jon Why are you acting so mean toward Rainbow Dash.

Jon: Rainbow Dash asking me hang out with her number of times today.

Rainbow Dash: Its because everyone is to busy to hang out with me.

Jon knew Twilight Sparkle was unhappy with him.

Jon: I’m sorry Rainbow Dash in loud voice

After screaming those words. Jon was groaning at Rainbow Dash, Twilight Sparkle.

Rainbow Dash: Something the matter Jon

Jon: I’m fine

Twilight Sparkle knew Jon was lying. He was a bad liar.

Jon: Yes and the reason: I’m still Jealous of you Dash. You did not deserved my angry toward you. Rainbow Dash love spending time with you.

Rainbow Dash put her arm behind Jon back said: friends forever.

Jon was smiling and said: Yes friends- forever.

The End

The Elements of DisHarmony

28 Aug

Rainbow Dash is Loyalty, Applejack is Honesty, Pinkie Pie is Laughter, Rarity is Generosity, Fluttershy is Kindness, Twilight Sparkle is Magic or my version Leadership. I found a video with the tittle: The Elements of Disharmony that inspired the name of this post. In the video show off moments where: Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Fluttershy acting nothing like there element.

Samething happens time to time with Twilight Sparkle. Does not happen all the time but when happens. Gives a bad taste in my mouth just like the episode called Lesson Zero, other episodes having out of text, out of friendship elements, but having a life lesson, very questionable moments. Want use Lesson Zero as a example. In the episode: Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy were only helpful at the end of the episode. When Twilight Sparkle want her friends to help her. Rainbow Dash, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Applejack, Fluttershy did not listen to her.

The biggest thing: Twilight Sparkle acting nothing like herself: Almost like the goal of the episode was laugh at Twilight Sparkle. Her fears were laughing at, people found her hilarious in this episode. Felt less like a Lesson more Twilight Sparkle Bad Nightmare or another name Twilight Sparkle the Zero.

The questionable moments have spawn endless amounts of theories  around: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity in the categories of Mental Heath Problems, Mental Disorders, etc. For example: Pinkie Pie being Bipolar Disorder, other-things.

I have feeling Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity don’t have any Mental Heath Problems, Mental Disorders at all.

I think the reason wrote off that way for Entertainment , sense of comedy. Based on the musical score in those moments, how the voice actress deliverers the line.

My reaction: That something don’t support about Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Rarity, Fluttershy, Applejack, Pinkie Pie. Useless, non helpful, finally anti-proactive ideas in the pure form. Into the category: really, really, what is the goal, why?.

Friendship is magic has songs like giggy at the ghosty, smile, smile. The moments where Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle are stress out, sad, etc. You don’t see then singing the song or humming the song. Something Pinkie Pie needed in Party of One, Twilight Sparkle in Lesson Zero. Setting a good example for others, showing off  a lesson in dealing with scenarios

You could said: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity don’t deserved there elements. Based on there actions throughout some of the episodes. Possible design over the ideas: do not know important life lessons. I have theory in-fact: Twilight Sparkle, Applejack, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Pinkie Pie, Rarity have a disability or disability’s just explain the questionable moments, out of character moments. With the ideas of meltdowns, other-things explaining it.

Friendship is Magic loves avoiding own material time to time or makes the episode into the category anti proactive, friendship.

How I write The Mane 6 from Friendship is Magic

28 Aug

In the TV show called Friendship is Magic. The characters called Rainbow Dash, Applejack, Pinkie Pie, Rarity, Twilight Sparkle, Fluttershy are the elements of Friendship. Rainbow Dash is Loyalty, Applejack is Honesty, Pinkie Pie is Laughter, Rarity is Generosity, Fluttershy Kindness, Twilight Sparkle is Magic or my version Leadership.

When writing Twilight Sparkle, Rainbow Dash, Fluttershy, Applejack, Rarity, Pinkie Pie. Show then off as Brave, Strong, Independent, loyal, caring type of characters. That deal with  scenarios in-position proactive way.
