* AngelicBeauty: Rainbow Dash perceives Fluttershy as resembling the Pony equivalent of an [[OurAngelsAreDifferent Angel]] (namely, an [[WingedUnicorn Alicorn]]) when she sees her flying against the sun. This is actually [[spoiler:a prophetic vision, as Fluttershy will eventually Ascend to become Princess Gaia, known to the Changelings as the High Queen Kindness, the ultimate development of the Flutter Ponies]].
-->Rainbow watched for a moment from the ground, utterly bewitched by her beauty and vitality. She passed before the rising Sun, and for a moment Rainbow almost thought she could see a radiant horn springing from her head, as if she were not Fluttershy but instead some new Alicorn. It was only a momentary illusion, but Rainbow remembered it, first in happiness. Much later she would have occasion to remember it in awe, and wonder just how fast she sometimes traveled.
* AllThereInTheManual: Some key aspects of Fluttershy's life, motives and relatives are revealed in Jordan179's FIMFiction Blog and his comments on other blogs.
** WordOfGod in comments to [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Bad+Horse Bad Horse]] that the events of "[[Fanfic/FluttershysNightOut Fluttershy's Night Out]]" are part of Jordan179's Fluttershy backstory [[spoiler:as a teenager she was cruelly seduced, used and abandoned by a callous stallion]] which further explains why she's so terribly shy ''and'' afraid to seek a stallion. (This also makes Fluttershy's critical attitude toward her mother's actions somewhat [[{{Hypocrisy}} hypocritical]], while adding emphasis to why this disturbs her so much: Fluttershy is actually also criticizing ''herself'').

** [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/286357/why-i-cannot-believe-in-a-freelove-equestria "Why I Cannot Believe in a Free-Love Equestria"]] puts Fluttershy's criticism of her mother's behavior ''and'' the events of Bad Horse's "Fluttershy's Night Out" in context: Jordan179 plainly believes that Equestria is a somewhat sexually-conservative society by modern Western standards, which means that Fluttershy sees casual sex as sleazy. This makes "Fluttershy's Night Out" even HarsherInHindsight (for Fluttershy) within this continuity. Poor Fluttershy.

In other words, Fluttershy is basically related (by her mother's marriage) to the in-universe equivalents of [[spoilers:Hitler and Mengele]]. Poor Fluttershy.

\n** \n** \n** [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/281585/legal-notice-from-high-lord-windvane "Legal Notice From High Lord Windvane"]] makes plain that her (legal) paternal family ''deeply'' rejects her, to the point that her paternal uncle Windvane
*** denies her descent even from her mother Sweetwing (and must be lying, given known Pony biology),
*** uses this excuse to rob her of the title of "High Lady" which she holds by right as a direct matrilineal descent of Commander Hurricane the First,
*** despises her because of her poor flight skills, presumed cowardice, and very un-Pegasus-like interests,
*** has learned about her encounter with "Nosey" and is willing to accuse her of ''prostitution'' based upon this, and
*** is willing to malign her ''friends'' (specifically, Rainbow Dash and Rarity) in support of his spurious accusations.

** WordOfGod in comments to [[http://www.fimfiction.net/user/Bad+Horse Bad Horse]] that the events of "[[Fanfic/FluttershysNightOut Fluttershy's Night Out]]" are part of Jordan179's Fluttershy backstory [[spoiler:as a teenager she was cruelly seduced, used and abandoned by a callous stallion]] which further explains why she's so terribly shy ''and'' afraid to seek a stallion. (This also makes Fluttershy's critical attitude toward her mother's actions somewhat [[{{Hypocrisy}} hypocritical]], while adding emphasis to why this disturbs her so much: Fluttershy is actually also criticizing ''herself''.
** [[http://www.fimfiction.net/blog/256710/sexual-orientation-and-behavior-of-the-mane-six-in-context "Sexual Orientation and Behavior of the Mane Six, In Context"]] makes it likely that Fluttershy's [[TwoGirlRomanticFriendship Two Mare Romantic Friendship]] with Rainbow Dash is somewhat sexual at least on Fluttershy's part, largely because Fluttershy may be bisexual ([[spoiler:a Changeling tendency]]) and even more afraid of stallions than she is of mares. It also makes plain that Rainbow Dash may reciprocate but be too afraid of showing softer emotions to act upon it. Crippling shyness and emotional obliviousness are not the best combination for romantic happiness!

* HarsherInHindsight: WordOfGod indicates that the author includes Bad Horse's [[Fanfic/FluttershysNightOut "Fluttershy's Night Out"]] in his Fluttershy fanon. He did so ''after'' writing this fanfic. Fluttershy thinks this about her mother
-->There she had an unexpected encounter. It had not been her old coltfriend, of that she was quickly certain, yet somehow she thought it was. And she had lain with him on the top of the old hill, between the standing stones; lain in adultery with a strange stallion chance-met in a wild place. Romantic, and deeply-unhinged, indeed.
-> but, if "Fluttershy's Night Out" is taken as true, then she could as easily be thinking this about herself. Poor Fluttershy.

** When the Shadow is prowling around Rainbow Dash's sleeping mind, the scent of Fluttershy lying down next to her causes Rainbow Dash to feel positive affect, which drives off the Shadow.
