History TheReasonyouSuckSpeech / Fanfic

* In the ''KatawaShoujo'' fanfic, ''{{FanFic/Reconciliation}}'', Hanako gets one from [[spoiler:a grief-stricken Lilly, when she tries to offer her comfort after Hisao's funeral]]. While Hanako agrees with the criticism, she also realizes that the speaker did not mean what she said.

* In ''HarryPotterAndTheMethodsOfRationality'', Harry delivers a cold and dismissive one to Professor [=McGonagall=]:

* In the fanfic ''Scooby-Doo! and the Forgotten Land'', Scrappy-Doo, OF ALL PEOPLE, gives a scathing one to Mystery Inc. Love him or hate him, you have to admit it's one of his best moments:
--> *Velma*: Scrappy, I know you're mad at us for a lot of things but you were annoying at a level not permitted on kids shows!"
-->*Scrappy*: Oh yeah, Velma? I was annoying?! Well, what about YOU? You annoy people with your smartypants facts and know-it-all personality! Who do you think you are? Daria?
--->*Velma*: WHAT? No I don't, and I don't act like Daria! Well, um...maybe I did act a little like her in 'Mystery Inc'...
* Author's Note: That's true you know*
--> *Scrappy*: W'll bottom line, Velma--You, my uncle and those three--
-->*Fred*: We have names, you know!
-->(This resulted in Scrappy giving him a death glare. That shut Freddy up.)
-->*Scrappy*: You five will never know what's it like to be unloved! You could get through movie after episode after video game, and the world STILL loves you! YOU GUYS ARE THE ONLY CHARACTERS THE WORLD STILL LOVES BECAUSE *YOU JUST DON'T KNOW WHEN ENOUGH IS ENOUGH!!!*

* In ''Fanfic/ACertainCrazyChristmasSpecial'', Touma says this against BadSanta:

Scrappy: Oh yeah, Velma? I was annoying?! Well, what about YOU? You annoy people with your smartypants facts and know-it-all personality! Who do you think you are? Daria?

-->'''Marinette''': He doesn't need someone like you polluting his good social standing. You and him are on completely different levels.

-->'''Chloe''': Hardly. I'm the mayor's daughter — the princess of Paris. Everybody adores me. While you're some dirty baker's daughter. Who are you to compare to that?
-->'''Marinette''': Okay, one, you're not a princess — unless it's the spoiled kind. Two, I'm not dirty and neither is my parents' bakery. And three, nobody adores you. You're a huge part of Adrien's problem.
-->'''Chloe''': Hardly. I'm the only thing protecting him from pathetic fangirls like you. I'm his best friend.
-->'''Marinette''': Nino is his best friend, Chloe, not you. And he doesn't need 'protecting.' All you've ever done is drive people away from him. The reason he doesn't have very many friends isn't because he's 'above' everyone else. It's because you hang around with him and nobody can stand you.
-->'''Chloe''': Everybody loves me.

-->'''Chloe''': Stay away from him.

-->'''Chloe''': I could ruin you, Marinette. I could tell him all sorts of things about you, until he'd never want to take a step near you again.

-->'''Marinette''': Hardly, Chloe. Tell him whatever you want, he'll never believe you.

-->'''Ladybug''': "You're never a victim, Chloe.

-->'''Chloe''': Cause them? Doubtful."

-->'''Marinette''': Wow… you are such a dick.

-->'''Marinette''': {{Let me get this straight}}. You are the acting chairman of a multi-national corporation. You have almost unlimited power to shape this company how you see fit but you need Adrien to come back to work because you have the charisma of an avocado that’s been left in the sun for too long. So instead of—oh I don’t know—being a marginally less repulsive human being and apologizing for being the fashion industry’s biggest dick-

-->'''Marinette''': -you decide to go behind Adrien’s back, blackmail his friends, and attempt to emotionally manipulate him into returning to a job he hates, again, working for the fashion industry’s biggest dick. But the real clincher is that you thought I would go along with this psychopathic scheme which leads me to believe that not only are you-”

-->'''Marinette''': -the fashion industry’s biggest dick. But you are a phenomenally stupid dick who [[LackOfEmpathy lacks basic empathy]] and understanding of how actual human beings operate and relate to each other. Does that sound about right?

-->'''Marinette''': You made your offer. Here’s mine; you will leave my office under your own power or you will leave under mine.

* From ''War of the Biju: The Fourth Shinobi World War'' we have this tidbit from [[WellIntentionedExtremist Danzo]] to [[RevengeBeforeReason Sasuke]]:

[[AC:''WesternAnimation/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagic'']]
* In the 8th part of the fanfic called "[[http://masterofnintendo.deviantart.com/gallery/33545613?offset=24/ Heart of Azazel]]", Celestia gives a small one to her husband Dr. Bitch Spasms after Azazel returns:
--> Celestia: I'm breaking up with you. I issue a divorce. Know why? Because you are just awful! I'm sick of watching you treat patients in a horrible manner, doing your chores, wearing this horrific dress, the list goes on. I'm tired of being called a plaything...ESPECIALLY BY A MORON LIKE YOU!!!!!
* Rainbow Dash delivers one to [[spoiler: Brownie]] in {{Fanfic/Rainbow In The Dark}} when [[spoiler: she discovers that Brownie suffers from asthma.]]
--> [[spoiler: I’m not angry at you because of your asthma. What I really hate is that you lied to me instead of telling me the truth. You could have killed yourself because you were willing to risk your life rather than confessing that you shouldn’t go too far. I’ve never lied to you. Why couldn’t you do the same for me?]]
* In the oneshot fanfiction, ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/35530/Adored/ Adored]]'', years after the failed invasion of Canterlot, Queen Chrysalis has grown indolent and inept in running her kingdom. However, she grows concerned when she no longer senses the love and adoration of her subjects. She goes to Princesses Celestia and Luna for council when her own advisors prove unhelpful. Their conversation, naturally, turns heated quickly and the majority of this section of the story turns into a whole reason you suck speech from both princesses. First is Celestia, who sums her up as an cruel, unfeeling and empty husk of a creature unable to even comprehend love, made so by [[spoiler:the abuse at the hooves of her cruel father, King Thorax the Terrible]]. However, Luna, whilst shorter, certainly delivers a more cutting speech after [[spoiler:Chrysalis attacks Celestia, enraging Luna, who then proceeds to fight and beat the crap out of the Changeling queen]].
-->'''Princess Luna''': I'm immortal, do you understand that? I have done horrible things in my lifetime, your highness, and even Celestia has done things she has regretted. And I will have to live with all them forever. But you...you get to die. That's the worst part. You have tormented my kingdom and used and abused your own subjects to the point you're driving them from your lands. And soon you'll have a child, bully all the love and compassion out of her like your father did to you, and then you'll die, knowing everything will continue when you're gone. You'll be buried and be nothing more than a portrait in the palace, but at least you won't have to pay for all you've done. Well, you know what, Chrysalis? I wish you ''could'' go on living '''''forever,''''' as the unloved, unfeeling, empty monster you are in the living nightmare you and your forefathers have made on this planet! ''I hope you live forever, you bitch.''
* In [[https://www.fanfiction.net/s/9293088/1/My-Tall-Human-Hatred-is-Science My Tall Human: Hatred is Science]], Gilda meets again with Rainbow Dash, only to find her injured. Gilda tries to get from her who did that to her, but Dash is still hostile toward Gilda because of her behaviour at the party...until Gilda fires back.
-->'''RD''': I thought i was a '[[IronicEcho Flip-Flop]]' to you!
-->'''Gilda''': Right. And guess what? I'm not a Flip-Flop like you.
-->'''RD''': Oh this is good to hear after what you did to my friends behind my back!
-->'''Gilda''': Perhaps, Element of Loyalty My Ass, now that you have new friends you don't need your old friends anymore, but you have been my only true friend, not just somehuman i used to know, and being still pissed at you for throwing me away like a worn-out rag without a second thought doesn't change that, to me it doesn't change the fact that we have been friends for years, even if perhaps you forgot that...you say i only care about being 'cool'? Big fucking talking from Miss '20% cooler', [[ArmorPiercingQuestion do you instruct your new friends as well about how to cheer for you during competitions?]] And guess what, you're wrong! I care and worry about you, and since you have been beaten like that i have good reasons to do so...So Rainbow Dash, spare me the bullshit and tell me who's that motherfucking, cock-sucking son of a bitch who signed his own death warrant!
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/971/the-blueblood-conspiracy The Blueblood Conspiracy]], Rarity [[SanitySlippage goes crazy]] after being asked to help hook up Prince Blueblood and the Great and Powerful Trixie, and becomes obsessed with getting revenge on Blueblood for both his behavior at the Grand Galloping Gala in the episode "The Best Night Ever" and for trying to ruin her reputation in the prequel fic "Blueblood Returns". She crashes the wedding disguised as "the Phantom Mare" and tries to force Blueblood to apologize for both events. While Blueblood is [[CharacterDevelopment quick to apologize for plotting against Rarity]], he refuses to apologize for his behavior at the Gala, shooting back that ''Rarity'' [[WhatTheHellHero should be ashamed]] and accusing her of being just another shallow suitor who only saw Blueblood as an idealized PrinceCharming and trophy husband and wasn't interested at all in the person behind his royal facade.
-->'''Blueblood''':"Nearly all my life, I have been the dashing prince. The dream of noblemares everywhere. The most eligible bachelor in all Equestria. A prince that ''[[IronicEcho Miss Rarity]]'' had attempted to claim for her own. And, like all the other mares, she had forgotten one thing. A vital, very important, thing. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Do you know what that thing was]]?"
-->'''Phantom Mare/Rarity (now scared out of her mind because of Blueblood's previous [[TranquilFury Tranquil Fury]])''': "Why, surely it must have been what a foal he was?"
-->'''Blueblood''': "''SHE DID NOT KNOW ME!'' And neither did she care! To her, I was just a silly idea! A fantasy! A prince intended to whisk her away to a land of fairy tales; to make her a princess. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion But, I ask you]]: how? How could that have ever been anything but a loveless relationship between a [[GoldDigger selfish, self-centered witch]] and her hapless [[MealTicket trophy husband]]?"
* Another example involving Prince Blueblood-in ''Fanfic/TheVinylScratchTapes'', [=DJ-P0n3=] insults the Prince on the radio talk show that she and Octavia host. The thin-skinned prince retaliates by canceling several concerts by Octavia's ensemble. Incensed, [=DJ-P0n3=] gets Blueblood on the phone, and then...
-->'''[=DJ-P0n3=]''': "I believe you are a bland, unintelligent, cowardly, prissy, stuck-up, laughable excuse for a stallion with a silver spoon shoved so, SO very far up his flank that you cannot possibly relate to anypony, anywhere, ever....My listeners like Octavia, Mr. Blueblood. They don’t like you. Nopony likes you. Heck, I have to wonder if ''Celestia'' even likes you. Or if your own mother does. Assuming, you know, you actually have a mother and didn’t just slither out of a pile of filth one day."
** Vinyl gets one from Luna for making presumptions about what Celestia had to do to stop her and crapping all over her family in her presence, and Vinyl and all her friends get one from Trixie for the blatant hypocrisy and double standards that they employ that make Blueblood a villain for being a jerk, but make Vinyl a hero despite also being a jerk, engaging in a national level smear campaign against someone and bringing a dangerous criminal into the heart of Canterlot.
* [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/31860/scootaloos-chaotic-family Scootaloo's Chaotic Family]] takes the cake for Blueblood sucks speeches. It helps that the speech is given by Discord himself, who is well and truly disgusted with the prince.
-->'''Discord:''' [[PunctuatedForEmphasis You. Are. Scum.]] Garbage. Filth. Flea-ridden manure. The only thing you’ll ever be 'top' of is a Trash. Heap.
-->'''Blueblood:''' I am a prince –
-->'''Discord:''' You are nothing but an ITCH on Celestia’s DOUBLE-WIDE FLANK!!! And the only reason she hasn’t taken the half a second she’d need from her schedule to SCRATCH YOU is because the impropriety would last longer THAN THE ITCH ITSELF!!! Try to understand me, you incredible dolt. I’ve just given you a quarter of my power. Not all of it; that never ends well. But it’s still enough to rival Princess Celestia. Be a hero. Be a villain. Be SOMETHING!! Make a mark, any mark, on Equestria. Sow chaos, sow order, sow anything. You’re a prince; you have looks, wealth, connections, an improbably well-built body for a pony who lazes as much as you do, a special talent for narcissism, the spirit of the sun for a godmother grandmother, and now you have more raw magical power then any unicorn has ever had. You have so much potential. AND YOU’RE SQUANDERING IT IN FRONT OF A MIRROR!!! You have twenty four hours to make a mark on Equestria. That’s twenty three more hours than any other pony would need, so I’m sure a ‘prince’ like yourself can handle it.
* Another Blueblood example (guy seems to attract these, doesn't he?) comes from ''Fanfic/GettingBackOnYourHooves''. Twilight spends an entire day putting up with Blueblood's high and mighty act while cleaning up a StinkBomb Spike let off in his room. She manages to put up with his insults...until he calls [[{{Hypocrite}} Rarity selfish]] for her expectation of him being a gentlestallion to her. [[RantInducingSlight Twilight lets him have it after that,]] pretty much letting out her entire day's worth of frustrations on him at once. Surprisingly [[spoiler:it actually gets it through his thick head that he needs to be a better pony.]]
--> '''Twilight''': I don't care what you say about me, I can even forgive you for saying Pinkie, Rainbow, and Fluttershy ruined the Gala, [[JerkassHasAPoint because they actually kind of did!]] I may even be able to forgive you for insulting Applejack's cooking! But you do NOT call Rarity of all ponies selfish! She may be a little vain sometimes, and sometimes she lets her desires get the best of her, but she's the most generous and unselfish mare I know! She's the Element of Generosity for crying out loud! She worked herself ragged making me and my friends TWO sets of Gala Dresses, doing everything we asked even though she knew our designs were a big disaster! And you know what, Blueblood? She didn't even think about working on her dress until she had ours made! Is that selfish?! Does that surprise you? Of course it would surprise a [[ItsAllAboutMe self-serving]], [[SmallNameBigEgo egotistical]], {{narcissist}} like you! You know, I wasn't expecting you to be her prince charming, but I was expecting you to be a proper gentlestallion! That's ALL she wanted for you to do! She'd probably even have been happy if you'd just split everything 50/50! Instead you were a [[PrinceCharmless selfish, egocentric, self-absorbed royal PAIN]] who only cared about yourself and wanted your date to do absolutely everything for you! And now you have the nerve to call that poor mare selfish?! And don't you DARE use the fact you're royalty as an excuse! Because it's NOT! [[GodEmperor Princess Celestia]] is a lot more royal than you are and she gave me a place to stay in Ponyville just because she knew I'd be miserable without my friends! She lent me and my friends the castle ballroom for my birthday party without even being asked! She gave Rarity a room in the royal palace just because I told her Rarity needed somewhere to stay! Celestia set everything aside and came to Ponyville as fast as she could just because Spike wrote her a letter saying I was getting worked up at making a deadline! So no! Being royal most certainly isn't an excuse, Blueblood! And let me tell you something else! It's not an excuse to treat ANY of your subjects who look up to you like dirt the way you did Rarity! Celestia and Luna both go out of their way to befriend and have a good relationship with their subjects. Luna, who rules the night, set everything aside to try and reconnect with her subjects on Nightmare Night! And Celestia isn't too 'refined' that she can't take a little commoner food! If anything, [[TheWomanWearingTheQueenlyMask Celestia tries to be LESS royal than she really is!]] [[ArmorPiercingQuestion If they're the highest royalty in the land, Blueblood, what does that say about how you behave when you're so much lower than they are?]]
** Trixie later ends up giving one to [[spoiler:[[IHatePastMe her own past self, the Great and Powerful Trixie]] (actually [[BigBad Checker Monarch]] disguised as her in a dream.]]
* At the finale of the Princess [[spoiler:Gaia]] Arc of the ''FanFic/PonyPOVSeries'', [[spoiler:Princess Luna lets Fluttershy and Fluttercruel have it for the whole mess the Fluttershy caused as [[BigBad Princess Gaia/Nightmare Whisper]] (which was [[NiceJobBreakingItHero Fluttercruel's fault in the first place]]), telling them, in detail, how they messed up in every possible way. This is such an epic WhatTheHellHero that it's considered a fitting punishment for what Fluttershy did!]]
** In the [[BadFuture Dark World]], [[TheVoice the Nameless Passenger]]/[[spoiler: Nightmare Paradox]] dishes these out like candy to Discord. [[spoiler: The fact that she gives a few about everyone but Twilight as well is the first clue she's not so heroic.]]
* In ''FanFic/EarthAndSky'', when Twilight finally has enough of Apple Bloom's anger over breaking up with Pipsqueak and confronts her on it, Apple Bloom states that Twilight doesn't know anything about love, to which Twilight responds:
--->"Maybe I don't have the deep understanding of romantic love that my sister in law does, but I've experienced it in other forms. Love between siblings, love between parent and child, love between friends. I think I've seen enough to draw some conclusions and be able to make some comparisons. All I see out of you now is jealousy and anger and selfishness. The last time I saw anything like that from you was on that terrible day when I inflicted that Want It Need It spell on you and your friends. You describe what attracted you to Pip in the most superficial terms. His looks, his charm, his teeth, his flanks. Here you are a full grown mare and you're still throwing a tantrum over a doll."
** Cherry Jubilee gives a gentler one to Diamond Tiara in chapter 35 over Diamond's paranoia.
--->"I'm hopin' yer just addled a bit in th' head from th' desert sun, 'cos if'n ya really think everypony's out t' git ya like that then yer a lot more pitiful than I thought."
** In chapter 36, Apple Bloom gives one to Twilight over her [[MyBelovedSmother possessiveness of Spike]], pointing out that maybe she's not the only pony who is too clingy.
* In ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/22463/1/Round-Two/ Round Two]]'', Princess Celestia confronts [[GodSaveUsFromTheQueen Queen Chrysalis]] in her hive, to get Chrysalis' terms of surrender. When Chrysalis tries to give a BreakingSpeech, Celestia [[KirkSummation responds with one of these]]:
---> '''Princess Celestia''': Well, I am a bit older than you, I think, so let me educate you on some simple truths. You think that control equals power. True power is something far more wonderful. You were defeated by [[EvilCannotComprehendGood something that you don’t--and never will--understand:]] love. You feed upon it, but you don’t feel it, do you? That’s why you don’t understand how you were driven from MY home. The pure love that Shining Armor and Cadence shared was something so alien to you that even your own vampiric power couldn’t handle it. It was love that defeated you, Chrysalis.
** She gives a second one after [[spoiler:leaving Chrysalis battered and broken at her hooves after Chrysalis decided to fight her.]]
--> '''Celestia''': You beat me because Shining Armor’s love is that pure. That true. And you can never have that. I saw your eyes when our first battle began. You thought you were going to lose. You knew my power then, and you understand that power now. All of these subjects, and none of them care for you at all. You rule out of fear, Chrysalis. I rule out of love. I would never let my subjects come to harm. They love me, and the very least I can do is hope to love them half as much in return.
--> '''Chrysalis''': You won’t get out of here alive. Do you really think my minions won’t take you down? How can you think that they won’t stop you?
--> '''Celestia''': The real question is: how do you think that they will? [[ImpliedDeathThreat Pray you don’t see me again, Chrysalis.]] (Leaves as the drones give her a very wide berth out of fear)
* In ''FanFic/FaithAndDoubt'', the fallen 6th Element, an abstract known as Doubt, turns Twilight into an alicorn. Luna, who realizes Doubt is the same voice that she heard when she was Nightmare Moon, calls him out and declares him a liar and a monster. With utter calmness Doubt rips her apart.
--> '''Doubt''': I gave you the power to rival your sister. I whispered in your ear about how she treated you as like a foal and did not let you take a larger part in governing Equestria; that is something you agreed with and something you still think now. [Cuts off Luna's retort] Do not deny it. I can read your thoughts as easily. I know that to be true... just as I know that Fluttershy here fears that I will hurt all of you. I assure you, little one, I could not hurt you if I wanted to. Nothing would bring me greater joy than to aid each and every one of you little ponies. But Nightmare Moon... everything comes back to that, doesn't it Luna? Everything you are now and everything you will ever be is tied to that horrible day when you took the mantle of the Mare in the Moon. Long you and your sister have convinced yourselves and your subjects that you were not in control... that some dark boogeyman had taken you over and twisted you into a weapon of evil and the real Luna was trapped inside. And you have now decided to cast me in that role. That... is a lie.
--> '''Luna''': No... it was you. It was all you! I was good before you...
--> '''Doubt''': Now who is the liar? All I gave you was the power. My words were a reflection of your own thoughts, nothing more. I can influence your mind as much as a foal can stop the rain from falling. Everything that happened was your fault, Luna; every dark word, every bitter thought was your own. The hatred for your sister came not from me. Nightmare Moon wasn't a separate entity or some corruption; it was merely a name you used to deflect blame. Your own feelings of self worth drove you to attack your sister and try and destroy all of Equestria. It was then that I removed my protection from you and allowed the dear traitor you call sister to banish you.
--> '''Luna''': That... that isn't true, I... I would never.
--> '''Doubt''': But you did, Luna. You did. Darkness is not evil… it is those that wield it that make it so. The sun can give life on a farm... or kill in the desert.
** Really, this is Doubt's entire schtick.
* ''FanFic/ThePowersOfHarmony'': During their WizardDuel, Trixie tries to invoke SympathyForTheDevil and justify herself by telling Twilight that ponies of noble birth (like her) have looked down on her for her entire life. Twilight isn't impressed.
-->"So a few ponies making fun of you... gives you the right to be mean and nasty... to everypony else?! That's quite possibly the stupidest thing... I've ever heard. I never wanted special treatment... I wanted to be left alone with my studies... and my friends. You've no right to judge me... any more than anypony else... has the right to judge you! Maybe... instead of projecting your problems onto others... you should practice what you preach!"
* ''Fluttershy'' delivers a stunning one in ''FanFic/SophisticationAndBetrayal'', before throwing Cashmere outside onto the streets.
-->'''Fluttershy''': I have sat here and listened to you belittle my friends, insult their business, and doubt their resolve. And for what?! So you can get some sick thrill from it?! You want to know what Rarity's accomplished? I'll tell you. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E21DragonQuest She faced down a dragon]]. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony She attacked a manticore]]. [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E2ElementsOfHarmony She banished an evil goddess]] and [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS2E2TheReturnOfHarmonyPart2 defeated the very embodiment of chaos and disharmony]]. She saved the life of a complete stranger. [[RescueRomance She committed herself to him because she cared about him]]. She risked life and limb, time and again, not because she had to, but because she wanted to! [[TrueCompanions Because she has people and ponies who care about her, and she cares about them]]! She has done more in a few years than you will ever accomplish in your entire, selfish life! You are nothing compared to her!
* ''[[Fanfic/EakinsHardReset A Stitch in Time]]'' has this exchange between Twilight and her jerkass of a blind date Algae Bloom, in reference to Algae's earlier remark about how her pet store job mostly consists of cleaning "slimy plants" out of the tanks. Twilight decides she's had enough after coming back from the bathroom and finding another drink already waiting for her.
-->'''Twilight''': Cyanobacteria.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': What? Is that some kind of nerd code word?
-->'''Twilight''': What you scoop out of the fish tanks. They aren’t plants, they’re cyanobacteria. You know, pond scum.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': Oh. So what? What’s the difference?
-->'''Twilight''': Proper classification is important, and those are two completely different things. Just because you don’t appreciate them doesn’t mean they aren’t good and important things. They provide something like twenty or thirty percent of Equestria’s oxygen, and they’re essential to the nitrogen cycle too. None of us would even exist without them.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': Well to me they’re just squicky, worthless ooze.
-->'''Twilight''': They survive almost anywhere, you know. From salty ocean water to rocky desert soil. You can try to kill them over and over again but they just always seem to bounce back. I just wanted you to know so that if some other mare in the future thinks it’s clever to tell you that you’re pond scum because you’ve treated her the way you’re treating me, it’s not as much of an insult as you think. If anything, [[InsultToRocks it’s an insult to the cyanobacteria]]. Frankly, you aren’t worth cyanobacteria’s attention.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': It's a good thing you're a hot piece of flank, because I don't know how anypony could put up with how weird you are if you weren't. Seriously, you should just shut up and have a few more drinks.
-->'''Twilight''': Yes, I'm weird. I say and do crazy things sometimes. Things nopony understands, not even me. But some ponies, not horrible little stupid ones like you, mind, some ponies try. They don't know me, but they want to and they see that all those weird things are actually pretty wonderful. They look past how messed up I am. I thought I had to push one of them away because she doesn't see what I'm really like, but I was wrong.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': Where are you going now?
-->'''Twilight''': To get her back. Oh, and by the way? It's not as if it ever would have been fine, exactly, but you picked the worst possible time to try to get me liquored up so you could take me to bed. [[BerserkButton I happen to just have adopted a zero tolerance policy for mares who try to warp others' minds for their own pleasure]], and if I ever hear from anypony that you've been getting fillies drunk and taking advantage of them they will never find your body.
-->'''Algae Bloom''': Wow, I didn't realize you were going to turn into such a psycho bitch over a drink.
-->'''Twilight''': Don't worry, it takes more than that to bring out my worst. A lot more. You don't even meet the detection threshold to register as something bad happening to me. If you ever do, you'll know. Briefly.
* In "Fanfic/CircusDays", [[TheOneGuy Spike]] rips one on the Mane Six for abandoning him YET AGAIN at the circus, recounting the times he's been absent in most episodes.
-->'''Spike''': YOU LIE! NONE OF YOU CARE ABOUT ME AT ALL AND JUST USE ME FOR LABOR! [[Recap/MyLittlePonyFriendshipIsMagicS1E16SonicRainboom WHO WAS FORCED TO STAY HOME FROM THE CLOUDSDALE FLYING COMPETITION WHILE HAVING TO CLEAN UP THE ENTIRE LIBRARY FROM A MESS A CERTAIN UNICORN MADE?!]] WHO ALWAYS CLEANS UP EVERY PONY'S MESS!? IT'S ME!

IF THIS IS HOW I WILL BE TREATED THEN IT'S ''OVER! I DON'T WANT TO BE FRIENDS WITH ANY OF YOU!''
* At the end of ''Fanfic/WhatHaveYouDone'', the Mane 5 (sans Twilight) get this from [[spoiler:their own Elements of Harmony]], stating that [[WhatTheHellHero how they treated Twilight]] [[spoiler:means they are no longer worthy as bearers]]. Unfortunately(?), only the part [[spoiler:from Loyalty to Rainbow Dash]] is given in full, though the sequel may rectify that.
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/194310/the-umbra-king The Umbra King,]] Rarity gives one to Sombra after rejecting [[WeCanRuleTogether his offer.]] [[spoiler: He ends up agreeing with her, and dies saving everyone.]]
-->'''Rarity:''' “Sombra… You’re a ''coward.''”
-->'''Sombra:''' “What was that?” [he hissed, taking several steps closer.]
-->'''Rarity:''' “I said: ''you’re a coward.'' You’re ''afraid''. You’re afraid of trying to protect something… and failing. That’s why you leaned on the dark magic of the Nightmare Gem... ''That’s'' why you didn’t come to protect me or Sweetie Belle when we needed you most. ''That’s'' why you lost your cutie mark…You’re ''afraid.''”
-->'''Sombra:''' "Watch your mouth," [he barked, taking another step closer. Anymore and he would be able to push her right off the edge...]
-->'''Sombra:''' "If you truly wanted to save your sister you would take my offer. You know I can remove you both from this situation."
-->'''Rarity:''' "I have a duty to my sister, but I also have a duty to all of Ponyville! I'm... I'm one of the ruling ponies... I'm the element of generosity... and I would give up ''anything'' for my friends... Even my life." [Rarity half-smiled.]
-->'''Rarity:''' "I won't give up on my destiny just because I'm afraid I'll fail. ''Unlike you''."

-->'''Queen Celestia:''' ""There can be no peace, no compromise, no accord between Us and Them. You have seen his memories, [[HumansAreTheRealMonsters how they poisoned their world, incited violence and murder, turned our own ponies against us]]!"
-->'''Princess Celestia:''' "[[ShutUpHannibal And you have done just the same]], [[{{Hypocrite}} or even worse!]] You have corrupted your Equestria, tainted the souls of precious ponies with cruelty and malice, and drawn two realities into a war of endless death and atrocity!

You would create a desolation and name it Peace! I will not allow some Tyrant rule with an iron hoof. [[BadassBoast I will not allow an entire species to die quietly and fade into the darkness. I will not stand to see the rape of innocence and innocents alike, of the peaceful being forced to take up bloody arms, and the grotesque being violated in mind, body and soul! Equestria, all of Equus, will rise against you! We will fight. We will turn this darkness away, and come to the rescue of all you have subjugated, Pony and Human, Earthborn and Equestrian alike. We will cast you down, and cast you out! In Harmony’s name, I swear it."]]
** Celestia and [[spoiler:Discord]] both give one to each other. In particular, the latter pulls a ShutUpKirk and accuses Celestia of having coddled the ponies too much and turning Equestria into a [[MedievalStasis stagnant]] SugarBowl.

** TCB!Trixie gives a couple to newfoal Focus Ray.
-->'''Trixie:''' "No sentient being lives free of fears, hopes, dreams and doubts, not without some serious brainwashing or sheer self-delusion. You, with your sanctimonious serenity, are just a golem programmed to not question its masters, hardcoded to get a positive emotional kick every time you obey unthinkingly. True ponies, true individuals, are free to question their lives, free to fear, free to doubt, and free to find their own purpose."

Porter himself also delivers one to an HLF member in the chapter "A Melody of Flames and Frost", stating that he and his friends have actually done important stuff for the war effort (evacuate and help civilians, fight the TCB!Equestrians and newfoals) and don't throw untrained children into the meat grinder, whereas the HLF have only hurt, destroyed and killed everything in their path.
** In the PER chapter of ''Case Files'', TCB!Cheerilee gave such a massive one to PER agent Mikhailovitch that he broke down, told her what she needed to know, and apologized for what he did.

* Princess Celestia gives a short yet brutal one to her former student Breaking Dawn in [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/89379/vengeance-of-dawn Vengeance of Dawn.]] This is especially hard for her to experience as she loves Celestia just as much as Twilight does, which motivated her to do all of her horrible deeds in the first place trying to get back into her teacher's good graces.
-->'''Celestia:''' You are condemned entirely for faults your own, Dawn. As a student you were vain, lazy, disrespectful to your professors and disdainful of your fellow students. And now, as a grown mare, you have grown vicious and cruel. What you did to Cadance[[note]]spiked her drink with an amnesia poison that has no known cure[[/note]], whatever your intentions to reverse it, whatever your motives, your actions these past weeks have been absolutely unforgivable. You have disappointed me in ways I never believed possible, Dawn. As much as I regret my failure to better help the filly that you were, the mare that filly has grown up to become disgusts me.
** Despite this, Dawn ''still'' doesn't get it. It takes the ''Element of Magic itself'' telling her she sucks for her to finally get it.
* Chapter 4 of ''[[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/231101/the-fall-of-night The Fall of Night]]'' has Luna call Celestia out on her habit of passing responsibility off to somepony else whenever Equestria is in danger:
-->'''Celestia''': You worry too much. This is a good learning experience for them. After all, facing challenges is how a pony grows! This is just what [[spoiler:Trixie]] needs. Once she overcomes this, she'll be one step closer to alicornhood. Or, if she fails, she'll be dead. That is also acceptable.
-->'''Luna''': Reforming Discord was a challenge. Defeating the combined armies of all the undead is not a challenge; it is suicide. This isn't a test, sister. The survival of everypony is hanging on this. We have to take this seriously and do something! If we do nothing then ''ponies will die''.
-->'''Celestia''': I am doing something! I've given [[spoiler:Trixie]] her first job as Element of Magic, and I'm going to watch her fail. Doesn't that sound fun? Then when Equestria has burned to the ground it will be her fault, and I can laugh in her face.
-->'''Luna''': Enough! You're not my sister anymore; you're just some monster. The loving and gentle pony I once knew a thousand years ago has been lost to darkness. She would ''never'' have been this cruel. She actually cared about the lives of her subjects.
-->'''Celestia''': Come now, Luna. I really do care about all the little ponies. It's just that I care about some of them more than others.
-->'''Luna''': Do you? I wonder. When Sombra threatened to return to the Crystal Empire and enslave everypony, you turned that life-threatening situation into a test for your star pupil. You knew of the Crystal Heart and its importance, but you did not bother to tell Twilight about it. Twilight could have kept Sombra at bay with the Elements of Harmony, but you did not offer to give them to her. Instead of doing everything in your power to save those poor crystal ponies, you treated the whole thing as some sort of alicorn exam! Did it never occur to you what might happen if Twilight failed? You wouldn't even let me go and help her! Twilight could have ''died''. All those ponies could have been enslaved again. How many times did you put Twilight's life in danger for your stupid tests?
-->'''Celestia''': It worked, didn't it? Everything turned out fine. I'm sure everything will work out this time as well.
-->'''Luna''': You are a horrible, horrible pony. You care ''nothing'' for the safety of those entrusted to your care- but ''I do''. If you won't defend this nation then I will. Come with me, pony who was once pink; we have a country to save.
-->'''Celestia''': Don't you dare leave. I won't allow it!
-->'''Luna''': (''laughs scornfully'') As if you had the power to stop me. When was the last time you actually helped anypony? All you ever do is delegate your problems to someone else.
* ''FanFic/DrawnWithTheNight'': When Celestia learns that Luna continued to invade Klein's mind and drive him mad, after Celestia promised that she and Equestria would leave him alone, she rips into her about violating her trust, continuing to assault someone she wronged in an area she can remain hidden and where he can't protect himself, and for doing it all in her name. By the end, Luna is left a quivering, crying, mess.
--> '''Celestia''':"My dear sister, it must have been terrible, wondering what I'd do when I found out you'd lied to me. I do wonder, what else have you lied to me about? How much of my trust have you betrayed?"
--> '''Luna''': "Nothing, Celestia."
--> '''Celestia''': "But is that true, or just another lie? We did a man a terrible injustice. And when we hemmed in on all sides he who had offered us no threat, he prostrated himself before us and asked simply to be let alone. No threat to expose us, no cry for revenge, just the succor of time and distance to let him heal among his new friends and family. A boon we granted, I granted, and thought you had too. Was not his abject humiliation and acknowledged helplessness before us sufficient for you? Now, how many of your decisions do I have to review to see if you've kept your word to our subjects?"
--> '''Luna''' : "Please Celestia."
-->'''Celestia''':"No, your Highness, our ponies come first. I love my sister. I had hoped she would understand my disapproval and seek to correct her mistake. But if the Lunar Diarch cannot keep her word, then all we have done is suspect. Our ponies have to trust us, or we cannot help them."
-->'''Luna''': "He's dangerous!"
-->'''Celestia''':"To whom? A maker of toys and a family man? To your image that you can do no wrong? To some desire to revenge yourself on one who wounded me? If revenge was to be extracted, it was my right and not yours! How DARE you attack an innocent in my name! You think I am so weak that I cannot defend myself and my own good name? Then what of your courage? Striking where he cannot hope to strike back, and keeping the excuse of 'I was doing it for Celestia' to deflect any blame! If he is such a threat, have the decency to face him yourself and offer a swift death. To drag it out over weeks and months is sadism, not security. Have the decency to let his family see the blood on your hooves and not make them think his growing madness is their failing. And you dare complain when someone turns the tables on you. Discord did nothing you have not already done. Be glad he withheld his hand further. Or perhaps he was crueler than I surmise. He left you alone with naught but yourself. A more conniving cellmate I could not imagine. Even an alien who stank of death and terror could not be as foul. In that cell, I had no fear of a knife in the belly in the dead of the night. Be cautious my sister, else she will slip a blade between your ribs and claim it was for my greater glory."
** Towards the end of "Drawn With The Night," Klein basically tells the princess (using a black belt in PolitenessJudo) that he doesn't like them, he doesn't want them around, and that he will ''never'' take any aid from them without looking for "The hidden hook," further stating that their refusal to leave him alone and inability to comprehend that he doesn't care that they're sorry have driven him to try and tell them that to their faces, ''just'' so he can have some peace and quiet.
* ''FanFic/{{Misunderstandings}}'': Twilight lays an epic one to [[spoiler: Silver Star]], and by extension the other nobles involved in the conspiracy.
--> [[spoiler: '''Silver Star''']]: Your ascension was a mistake. We trust Princess Celestia with the very underpinnings of our world, but how she could select some... some bumpkin like you to become royalty is inconceivable! You know nothing of how politics works in this city, nothing of its deepest traditions and culture, and you dismiss this Parliament and the nobility as no more important than a common street-sweeper! It would have been better if you'd gone back to that speck of dirt called Ponyville, and somepony with some notion of what this nation needs had been given that power instead. You're not fit to rule.\\
'''Twilight''': Is that what you believe, [[spoiler: Mister Star]]? That I'm unfit to rule because I don't understand traditions or politics, because I don't have or value the 'noble bloodlines' you cherish so completely?\\
[[spoiler: '''Silver Star''']]:I... I, well, that is to say, perhaps not myself, but there are a number of other nobles-\\
'''Twilight''': Well. In that case, let's take note of what resulted from the plan that you and certain other nobles--who no doubt represent the 'cream of the crop' in your mind--formulated. You enlisted the aid of [[spoiler: a complete psychopath, a wanted fugitive]], whom you allowed to spread harmful rumors about an innocent creature. You and your cabal of nobles maneuvered to politically isolate Peter Collins, to persecute Sveti Windwhisper--even [[spoiler: [[BadBoss conspired to frame one of your own]], Prince Blueblood]], for your plan to disrupt [[spoiler: my research...a plan, I might add, could have resulted in the death of myself and everyone nearby, reopening old breaches into a parallel plane, and even the utter destruction of Canterlot itself. As a result of your actions, Farris Wheel, a promising actor and playwright, lost his life. As a result of your actions, a young filly by the name of Dewdrop nearly lost hers]]. As a result of your actions, there has been untold needless suffering and conflict [[WeCouldHaveAvoidedAllThis that could have been avoided otherwise]]. You let [[EvilIsPetty petty]] [[GreenEyedMonster jealousy]] and short-sightedness gallop roughshod over everything this nation stands for. '''And you dare tell me that I am unfit to rule?!'''
* TheRiseOfDarthVulcan: Vulcan unleashes a nasty one on Luna when she decides to rough him up. Despite Vulcan being chained to a wall and imprisoned, Luna is the one who comes out more rattled.
-->'''Luna''': My sister is too kind and soft for her own good. She would parlay with thee, let thee prattle on. I have no such compunctions. Thou hast brought evil upon our ponies, and thou shalt answer us humbly and swiftly, and give us all the truth we ask--- or feel our wrath!
-->'''Vulcan laughs'''
-->'''Luna''': Wh-what art thou laughing at?
-->'''Vulcan''': You. So Celestia sent you in to play 'bad cop,' did she?
-->'''Luna''': Bad.. cop?
-->'''Vulcan''': It means she plays nice, then you get to come in and play all mean and hard... and do the dirty work for her. Like always.
-->'''Luna''': Watch thy tongue, creature. I care not for what thou art implying.
-->'''Vulcan''': And what am I implying? The truth? Things get nasty, she leaves, you come in to rough me up. Pardon me for trusting the evidence of my own eyes.
-->'''Luna''': Celestia, did not need to ASK me to put hoof, horn or wing to thee, wretch. I would have done the same on mine own.
-->'''Vulcan''': If she let you.
-->'''Luna''': Thou shalt show respect, prisoner. '''shoves horn at his face'''
-->'''Vulcan''': Celestia already did the horn-in-your-face thing. She did it better, too. Forget it. I don't speak to Celestia's underling.
-->'''Luna''': I AM NOPONY'S UNDERLING!
-->'''Vulcan''': Oh get over yourself. She rules the sun, the thing that keeps everything on the planet ALIVE. You rule the moon-- a fricking night light. You were so unimportant that she did your job and hers for a thousand years without help.
-->'''Luna''': ('''Hesitant''') My sister and I share the throne. I rule with her...
-->'''Vulcan''': Rule with her? You can't even match her. You tried to stand up for yourself and she spanked your fanny and sent you to your room, and only let you back out when you promised to be a good little filly and obey her. The only reason you're a princess at all is with her permission. And she could take that away any time she wanted. Look at this place. Hell, she built Canterlot while you were gone. It's ALL hers! This is HER castle, HER kingdom, and it has been for a thousand years! You're just the unemployed kid sister she lets sleep on the sofa--
-->'''Luna''': SILENCE! (Zaps him)
-->'''Vulcan''': Whatsamatter, honey? Truth hurt? Oh hey, y'not c'mpletely useless, after all... she lets you do all the stuff that would make her look bad. She gets to be the pretty princess everyone loves... an'... an' you get to skulk around inna dark wi' your batponies, scarin' the naughty ponies straight for her. Thousan' years an nuthin's changed, hazzit?
** Twilight gives one to the townsponies of Cirrus and Hilltop, after learning of their acts of cruelty and the felonies they committed.
* After the guards' unprofessional handling during [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/147403/applebloom-transform-and-roll-out Applebloom: Transform and Roll Out]], Shining tears into the Commander.
-->'''Shining''': So what, Commander? You just assumed that we were dealing with a changeling when they didn’t immediately agree to the spell? You just assumed that they were brainwashed and would just try and dissuade you by saying she wasn’t a changeling over and over again? You didn’t even give them a chance to explain that maybe there may be other circumstances to take into account? You didn’t give them a chance to share information that may have been vital to their safety and yours? We give them a chance to explain so that the exceptions can tell us what’s going on and we can judge the situation and react accordingly! Just because you had to cast the spell doesn’t mean you should just barge into places and start casting spells on ponies without giving them a chance to talk! There’s holding to the letter of the law and holding to the spirit of it, Commander! Our job is not just to keep ponies safe, but to make sure they feel safe, Commander. Ponies need to feel safe and comfortable around us so that they can come to us with their problems and we can work to help them! How can we expect ponies to feel safe and comfortable around us when we aren’t letting them get a word in edgewise? What kind of picture does it send when we start barging into schoolhouses, casting spells willy-nilly, and then carting off schoolfillies and teachers to the Canterlot dungeons because we’re apparently too lazy to handle it in house?! How are we supposed to protect them when that obviously sends the message that we are more dangerous than the criminals and the monsters?! How are we supposed to protect ponies when the skittish, hysterical actions of our privates clearly show ponies that we’re a bunch of incompetent, cowardly rookies that can’t handle a sick manticore cub?!
* In ''FanFic/WhyAmICrying'', Silver Spoon gets a harsh one by Green and Shady Daze while they beat her up now that her friend, the hated Diamond Tiara, is dead.
-->'''Silver Spoon:''' I-I-I...know I was cruel, but I didn't--
-->'''Shady Daze:''' Know? ''Know?! You know nothing!'' All you ever did to us "blank flanks" was make our lives miserable! You know how many fillies and colts you sent home crying? You know how many ponies hate you? You should just crawl under a rock and die! That way, you and Diamond Tiara can both be friends again in Tartarus!
* In [[http://www.fimfiction.net/story/297800/a-mothers-love A Mother's Love]] Apple Bloom delivers an absolutely scathing speech to Spoiled Rich for all the abuse she has inflicted on her daughter.
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Mrs Rich. There's something I've been curious about. What does your cutie mark mean?
-->'''Spoiled Rich:''' W-what?
-->I... What relevance does ''that'' have?!
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Well, you may not know this, but me and the other Crusaders aren't exactly 'talentless'. Aside from me having a big heart, Sweetie Belle's singing ability and Scootaloo's being able to ride as fast as lightning, our shared true destiny is, as you can see in the colour of our manes on the shields, to help other ponies find their calling in life, based on their cutie marks. A very important job, I'm sure you agree. We did it for Troubleshoes in Appleloosa a while ago, and we helped your daughter discover that she could harness her leadership ability without becoming... Well, like ''you.'' Now, my friends aren't here so I can't be ''entirely'' accurate with my reading, but I just got to thinking... Do you need my help?
-->'''Spoiled Rich:''' N-no of course not! W-why would I ever--
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' So, what does the ring on your flank represent then? Are you good at making jewellery?
-->'''Spoiled Rich:''' Never! If I want something, my husband just buys it for me!
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' Selling jewellery?
-->'''Spoiled Rich:''' Me? ''Get a job?'' Huh! The day that happens will be the day I jump over the moon!
-->'''Apple Bloom:''' So, what does it mean, then?
-->If I may, I have a theory I'd like to run by you. It's up to you whether you take it at face value or not, and of course I could be completely wrong. But, I'm going to tell you it anyway.
-->The ring on your flank, shows your aptitude for marrying well. And you did. Look at you, hitched to the most successful businesspony in Ponyville! One who loves his daughter dearly, contrary to what you say. One willing to journey around the world, earning extra bits to keep his ''selfish and ungrateful wife'' happy! One who tolerates her many childish tantrums and outbursts, because he has unlimited patience! His only fault is not putting his hoof down when he sees how much you mistreat and abuse your beautiful daughter, out of some wrongheaded sense of keeping his family together, because Diamond Tiara needs a mother! Well, let me say, after what I've witnessed today, forget about Applejack, ''Queen Chrysalis'' would make for a better parent than you! At least she ''knows'' what love is. It's a term that you ''clearly'' don't, and probably ''never'' will, understand!
-->If you ''ignored'' your sole talent, and left your husband to try and make it in Canterlot with your daughter by yourself, do you ''really'' think you'd survive? That other ponies wouldn't turn against you, once they saw you for what you truly are? An abusive, lying, manipulative, nasty piece of work? ''No, they wouldn't.'' And I promise that soon, Diamond wouldn't think much of you, either. You might be able to win her favour for a while with your non-stop threats and deceit, but I've already opened her eyes to other possibilities. Soon, she'll see you as the beast you clearly are, and you'll be all alone! And, guess what? You'll have no pony to blame but your own ''rotten self!'' If I've learned one thing from you, it's that it isn't just cutie marks that tell us about the pony they belong to, the name can reveal a lot too! Spoiled by name, Spoiled by nature. ''That's you!''
** Twilight later gives Spoiled one herself.
-->'''Twilight:''' I'll tell you who I am, seeing as how you seem a little confused...
-->I'm the Princess Of Friendship. That ''isn't'' a boast. It's a title given to me by Celestia herself. My job is to look for the good in everyone, and encourage them to befriend each other, no matter their background, species or creed. But I must say Spoiled, you represent one of the toughest challenges I've faced so far. Nothing you've said or done since we've met has showed me you have any intention of changing your ways, in fact you seem to be getting worse with every passing minute. But, you know what? I won't give up on you. I never give up on anypony. Even if sometimes, I'm sorely tempted. I'll tell you what I told Starlight Glimmer as she ran into those caves. I hope your time alone gives you a chance to think about your life, and where you want it to go. Because as of right now, it's only heading in one direction. Downhill.
* In the AU Fic FanFic/ActuallyImDead, after going through a brutal TraumaCongaLine and being turned into a Lich, Trixie is not in the mood to hear Rainbow Dash harassment of her and call her out on being NotSoDifferent:
-->'''Trixie''': “Now who's the pompous braggart? You would float there and accuse Trixie of flaunting her skills, you hypocrite," Trixie hissed in Dash’s face. “Admit it, you were there only to reassure yourself in front of others by beating up Trixie. You came not to watch that day, but to try and upstage Trixie at her own show, heckling and even openly insulting me in front of others.”
-->'''Rainbow''': “Hey! That’s not how it was, I was--”
-->'''Trixie''': “You were in the front row! If it wasn’t to appreciate the show, it was to make sure Trixie heard your insults. If Trixie’s mere presence is enough for you to react that way, then she looks forward to the day you encounter your own first hecklers, because you’ll leave rainbow colored skid marks out the front door when the Wonderbolts throw you out afterwards!”
--> '''Rainbow''': “Oh yeah? At least I can live up to what I say,” Rainbow and Trixie’s faces got even closer. “You’re all bark but no bite.”
--> '''Trixie''': “Trixie answered every challenge thrown at her, by earth pony, unicorn, and pegasi alike. The only one she couldn’t that day was the Ursa, and that was because it was a fiction ludicrous enough she didn’t expect any pony in their right mind would try and get her to prove it.”
--> '''Rainbow''': “Don’t let your muzzle makes boasts your magic can’t back up.”
-->'''Trixie''': “And you’ve never failed to live up to your boasts, right? Or just the ones you didn’t make against Trixie?” Trixie snorted and backed up. “You know what, Trixie’s sick to death of ponies like you passing judgement on her! Treating her as something inferior!” Trixie pressed an emaciated hoof against Rainbow’s chest. “You think because I am roani I deserve to be judged lesser than everypony else?! Well guess what, Trixie is as good as you, and Trixie refuses to be treated as your inferior!” There was fire in Trixie’s eyes.
--> '''Rainbow''': “Hey... hey, mare-- Calm down and--”
--> '''Trixie''': “Trixie will not calm down! And you! You come here, so full of yourself being the ‘good one’ who has to take a shot on the ‘vile and villainous’ Trixie. Sure, because being homeless, starving, ostracized, and pretty much hated by everypony else was not enough for you. Trixie would stay and see, only out of morbid curiosity, what kind of excuses do you have to cover your flank, but I have better things to do with my time, which I plan to do as far as possible from you. Farewell, and may the gods have mercy on you.”

[[EvilIsPetty Sending some of your soldiers to harass the poor developers just for NOT making YOU their monster?]] Do you even KNOW size-shifting spells?
