*** He also made one in the early Second Age, before he Ascended. When he learned that a few tribalists [[CruelAndUnusualDeath brutally lynched to death]] a teenage Earth pony colt, Garden Spade (who is the expy/ersatz of Emmett Till), for supposedly [[WolfWhistle whistling]] at a unicorn mare and [[KarmaHoudini got away with the crime]], Blue was so ''furious'' that he delivered a ''scathing'' public speech when reporters asked for his opinion on the event. It was noted that this was one of few instances where Blue showed [[OOCIsSeriousBusiness clear anger and upset]] instead of his usual TranquilFury, and became a major factor in his hatred towards tribalism/racism in general.

--> '''Lena:''' "How dare you? After all you did, how ''dare'' you claim to have gotten off worse?"\\
'''Magica:''' "You're living in a mansion, Lena. By definition-\\
'''Lena:''' " ''YOU RUINED MY LIFE!'' Do you have any idea what you did to me? You...were...''abusive''. The things you did to me, I'll spend my whole life getting away from. Every other word out of your mouth was either a negative scream against me, tearing down my my will and confidence, or it was manipulative, something to get me to dance to your tune in the vain hopes of the smallest amount of affection. You ''used'' me. You manipulated, belittled, insulted, and gaslit me. You stole my freaking body from me! I was a child! I wanted someone to love me, but you never gave me even an ounce of care and compassion. I was nothing to you, just a tool! ''(at this point, Lena starts to tear up)'' I had to unlearn so much of what you programmed into me, and it's been some of the hardest things I've ever done. I had to learn that could be a safe place, that family isn't suppose to yell and berate you, that how I treated was ''not normal''. I catch myself thinking about this or that awful thing, things about myself I ''know'' to be wrong but they still bubble up from deep inside without warning. I have anxiety and sometimes depression. I have trouble getting out of bed in the morning and I sometimes have to slip away to be alone, reorient my brain after too much is going on around me. And my nightmares...great Gaia, my nightmares! A lot of them are mostly shock value now, but there have been some nights where I am too keyed up from them that I can't go back to sleep. I just something something fluffy, usually Skadi, and sit by the window looking at the stars until morning. It's not healthy, I know it's not, but that's what it is!\\

"And the worst part about all this is that I can barely talk about what's bothering me sometimes. Not to Webby, not to the boys, not to Scrooge or Beakley or Doc Van Horn. Della gets some of it, but I still feel like the words won't come. And right now, it's all spilling out , and it's to '''''you'''''. And now you have the gall to stand there like I'm the one at fault? Bullshit lady! You tried me like scum, tore me apart, and tried to rebuilt me into a tin toy! I'm not going to apologize for striking back at an abuser!"\\
'''Magica:''' "I was-"\\
'''Lena:''' " ''BEING A HEINOUS BITCH!'' That's all you ever do! You're a pile of toxic sludge in the shape of a duck and your every action makes people miserable! But I got away. I still have scars, but I found a place where I can be safe and warm and loved and doesn't that just burn you up inside? That despite all you did to me, all those years of ''pretending'' to be family, that I found something better? That I survived your best efforts and there isn't a damn thing you can do about it?"

-->'''Benamin''': Even now, in the end, when I think back to all the things you’ve done, all the pain you’ve caused for whatever sick reasons fester in your soul, all I feel is pity. When you birth an entire region of space-time, all I see is conflict. Pain. Suffering. You profess to have such unimaginable power, but all you know how to do is be a complete prick.

In ''[[https://archiveofourown.org/works/20989496/chapters/49912694 Audacity]]'', Adrien betrayed Marinette. He took the earrings and wished for his family to be whole no matter the cost. His other wish for Marinette to love him. Marinette doesn't remember the previous timeline. Marinette lost her mother because of an accident and she is unable to leave Adrien despite him being a horrible boyfriend. Shortly after meeting [[Fanfic/MaribatAU Damian]], she regains her memory and she is pissed when she sees Adrien.

-->“You bastard! I lost a year of my life because of you.” Marinette screamed, rising out of Damian’s arms. Adrien took a step back, alarm and awareness flashed in his eyes. “You took the earrings and you wished to not be alone, knowing the cost! You wanted your mother back so badly you wished for her to never slip into a coma. Did you think about the price of that wish? Someone else’s mother in return, did you think about that before making the wish? Clearly you didn’t because now that I remember that night, I know that my mother was the cost. Your mother is still alive because you were selfish and wanted to keep your family together at the expense of someone else’s. Not to mention your other wish; for me to love you. You were so selfish to wish away my free will? You turned me into your puppet, stringing me along, cancelling plans knowing that the wish was still intact, and I couldn’t leave you. You’re a monster Adrien Agreste.”\\

-->Damian could only stare at the different person Marinette had suddenly become. She wasn’t entirely different actually; it was more as if she had finally pulled the wool from her eyes like she was finally seeing Agreste for what he truly was.\\

-->“I love you milady-” Adrien started, cut off by Marinette’s scoff.\\

-->“Well that’s a shame because I don’t love you. That’s just a lie you made up. You took a page right from Lila’s book, well here is the ending: it’s over.” Marinette snarled, the rage in her eyes made Adrien back away. Damian confused, gaped in awe as she towered over him, she was an avenging angel he mused. She stormed off and stopped at the end of the street before turning back around and headed back to them.\\

-->“The earrings Adrien, give them back. Actually, you know what, give me the ring as well. I can’t leave them with you as can’t be trusted to be a hero and I don’t want to give you a chance to re-do the wish.”\\

-->“Sorry, princess no can do. I won’t lose you over a little mistake.”\\

-->“A little mistake? You actively chose to make those wishes, hell, it wasn’t a little mistake, you manipulated me before you even made the wishes. By god it wasn’t a little wish either, you traded a life for your mother’s. You have to live with the guilt and shame of that Adrien and of course you’d view it as a small mistake as well. You’re a self-centered coward with no regards for anyone else. You cost me my mother and my free will.” Marinette spat, she was seething, and she wasn’t thinking when she threw a punch at Adrien, hitting him in the stomach, she’ll admit that, but it felt nice to express her rage towards him.\\

But I think I'm entitled to a little sarcasm when for ages, ''ages'', I have tried to tell you that even if Lila isn't lying, following her blindly and not taking your own opportunities will hurt you in the end, when you believed that I would bully her for no discernible reason despite the fact that even though Chloe tortured me for ''years'', I've never retaliated against her in any way, when you refuse to listen to ''common fucking sense'', I think I get to be upset!"\\

-->'''Tom''': Does this form please you Potter? See how I have suffered for your interference? I, who once held the world in my hands, reduced to this pathetic form! Have you relished your fame boy!? So many years of work, destroyed, nullified, from a child.
-->'''Harry''': I didn't ask for this Voldemort, You started this fight, just so you can hurt others.
-->'''Tom''': Do you think these wizards know what's best? They walk around like children with a shiny new toy, they lacked insight. There is so much to be done with magic and they're satisfied with the scraps of potential they can squander with. [[AGodAmI I would have shaped the magical world in my image]]. Perfection, power, prestige. all of it was MINE. It was my age and you ruined it.
-->'''Harry''': How dare you act like it was for the best of the wizard world. My future was set in stone the moment you walked into it. I could've had a loving family and friends galore. But you ruined everything. My parents died never knowing what happened to me. All for your ego. Don't act like you're some savior, you're a monster. that form you have is nothing less than you deserve.

--> '''Ginny''': Did you live in an orphanage?
--> '''Tom''': [[GoodIsNotDumb How]]…
--> '''Ginny''': It was the picture. The one you did not mean to show me, months ago. That room with all the beds. It was not Hogwarts. And it was not a house. You said that you were an only child. I remember. You also said that you studied at home, but now I know that was a lie. I think that you did not have a home. And then I remembered that your father did not die until 1946. Which means he was alive while you were in an orphanage. So he must have left you. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion Why did he leave you]]? (beat). [[ArmorPiercingQuestion What happened to your mother]]? Was it a terrible place?
--> '''Tom''': Oh, are we are back to Tom? And now comes a surge of pity… yes, I feel it. God, how insipid you are. How predictable. How full of drama and tepid romantic conclusions. It was just a place like your sorry little Burrow, overrun with children. No different.
--> '''Ginny''': You say that you can feel my lies. Well, you are in me so much now that I can feel yours too. And I do not feel sorry for you at all. I have been thinking. Harry is an orphan, and he is not horrible. And Prissy has everything she wants, and she is still nasty. So I do not know how much it counts. I cannot work out what is wrong with you.

I don't know why El Toro puts up with you trailing after him like some lost puppy. Guess he likes getting his ego stroked – it's not like you're good for anything else.

And you have no respect for true strength, eager to take the quick and easy path with dark magics! You have no place among the mighty! El Toro Fuerte lies struck down by a cowardly attack by your leeches, and yet he is worthy many times over. Because he had the strength to give up the false strength of magic, even after being its slave for so long. You, who would so eagerly put on the chains he broke free of, you must climb so high otherwise you would have to look up at even beggars like the miserable bug you are!"

* From Webcomic/KillLaKillAU, Ragyo gives one to her mother on her deathbed for the hell she's put their family through:

-->'''Tsumugu''': "First of all, this young woman, Ms. Satsuki Kiryuuin has been nothing but compliant, even when you forced your way into her home and decided to interrogate a child, neither of which you had a warrant to do. You came here to investigate a tip about potential abuse, yet it is you committing the abuse with your bullying and intimidation, all and out, abusing your position. Look at her, Ryuuko is shaking and crying because is afraid but she isn't afraid of her sister be noted, she is afraid of you. Now, unless you want very much to lose your job, you would be wise enough to leave."

-->"You ghosted on her and you ghosted on me. To be honest, that hurt me more than you even realize. When we were kids, I was shipped off to elsewhere, while you got to stay. I never knew why I did but I never had reasons to think that you'd do the same thing that almost everyone else did. You're my sister, Satsuki. I was supposed to depend on you above anyone or anything else and you abandoned me, shipping Kiko and me off like some dirty secret you just had to keep hidden. Kiko didn't do a damn thing to me and I couldn't bear to do what you did because, really, who else did she have? ''No one'' and knowing that broke my heart. You ruined three lives because you can't get it through your thick skull that your actions didn't just affect you."

'''Lincoln:''' Really...then why wouldn't you help me fix this?...Are your studies that more important than your own family?...

"I haven't had a proper night's sleep in ''months'', part of the reason being all the stress school and those stupid fucking Akumas around my house, and you want me to add to that stress so you can look pretty? I have yet to be paid for anything I've done for you, despite the fact that I've been promised payment for babysitting your little siblings, making baked goods, and designing and fixing outfits, and you want me to do yet more work for ''free'' that would cost thousands of dollars in a professional setting? I have yet to see a single dime from ''any of you'', and yet Nathanael, despite being another artist and the one person I would expect to know the importance of being paid for your work, says nothing about it? I have done favor after favor after favor after favor for everyone here, and the most I get in return is a half-assed, afterthought thank you, while you're running off to play with whatever new toy you've just gotten. So no, I'm not redoing all that work just because you've suddenly realized how much I'm doing for you. I refuse to put myself through that much thankless stress again, not without a ''good. Fucking. Reason.''"\\

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.

You don't deserve Terry AT ALL! You belittle people if they mess up even slightly, when you screw up you get mad at the other person instead of just fucking apologizing, and you torture anyone who even slightly disagrees with you! Why else do you think that no one wants to be around you? Why else do you think people hide in their cars to avoid seeing you, eh?
-->'''Susan''': Oh, yeah? Well if Terry WERE like you, he'd have scarred his kids for life just like you!
-->'''Michael''': Don't you fucking DARE tell me how to raise my kids! I stayed with them, I was fair to them, I helped them! You don't care about anyone but yourself. It makes me sick! Now why don't you SHUT UP and be grateful that ANYONE wants to be in your life!

Brian at least TRIES to better himself with college and careers, but you... we RARELY see you working and I wouldn't be surprised if you just got into the pilot business just so you could fuck every stewardess into the mile-high club!

--> '''Cardinal:''' . The only one to blame is you, Duchess! You couldn't wait! You had to find your daughter on the double! On the triple! Didn't matter the number of diplomatic accidents it would cause! Didn't matter if the Germanian ambassador was throttled out of a window, or if half the knights of the corps suddenly resigned to follow you in your inane crusade! For three years, I sought out your daughter through my own means, just so I could slap in your face your weakness when compared to the Crown! But then you had to go and move a mountain. You had to build an outpost, you just had to order the knights of the Manticore to follow you! And those fools did! The King told them not to, and they followed you! Do you have any idea what that meant?! That was the closest you could have gone to treason! The Crown has power as long as the people that swear fealty to it respect it! But to find your daughter, you decided to shit on Everything! The nobles whispered! It's always been about magic, our nobility! The Duchess can move a mountain-what can our King do? The Duke's the bastard in the royal line; he's a descendant of Brimir too! So, frankly? When someone killed your second daughter? I was glad they did just to see you realize how weak you were. So no, I had no intention of giving you back your daughter just so you could return to court with your heir after having thrown the worst of all temper tantrums. My king died of worry and heartache, fearing for his kingdom to be divided, because of you! The Queen would never have punished you. The Princess is too innocent for the politics of the court. So I did what I had to do for the King and for the Country of Tristain, and there goes not a day where I am not glad I did what I did, because right now, in court, you are alone Duchess. It took me decades, and your husband-oh you should be glad your husband did his best to hold on to what little he had. If you had been alone, I would have taken everything from you, the title, the power, the money-everything, but not your life. Just like you took my King away. Just like you weakened the Crown. And yet, for all of my work, I was willing to accept my punishment. Founder knows the sleepless nights, how wrong it was to keep a child away from its mother-a child who had no sins for being born to a selfish bitch. So, Duchess, I knew where your daughter was, and I hid it from you. To this day, I will apologize to your daughter a hundred of times, but do not think even for a second I would not do this again. You committed treason, and you were punished for it. Be thankful the crime was not paid with your life and that of all those who followed you rather than the crown!

When ideals clash, it's only those willing to go the extra mile that eventually win. Keep your childish feelings to yourself-you had so much potential...and you squandered it playing the adventurer.

I hate you...I always have. I want you to remember this moment, every time you feel the sins marked on your back, the moment I finally confessed.

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?!

-->'''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]]?

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 selfish, self-centered witch and her hapless trophy husband?

--> '''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.

--> '''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.

-->'''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.

-->'''Luna:'''"I have seen my friend, thine own dead daughter. For one dead of the Mark-Pox, she was most curious unmarred, save for two ''hoof-blows to the head.'' There may have been more to see, and I might have seen it, were it not for thine odd decision to bake her, as if she were some horrid ''pastry.''
-->'''Three Leaf:''' The Pox...
-->'''Luna:''' ''There was no Pox!'' Dost thou mistake me for some especial-simple foal? The Pox leaves ''many'' Marks, not one. The Pox does not ''bash in a filly's head!'' Were the Pox in truth abroad in Sunney Towne, would ye all be ''feasting together,'' the better to assure its spread? Where are the medical preparations? The quarantines? Dost thou mean to convince me that ''thou'rt'' the most numb-skulled Healer in the whole equine history of ''medicine?!!'' Nay. Were she so stupid, not a one of ye would now survive, given that I know one plague after the other hath ravaged this town. Aye! I do know all about Sunney Towne. Before ye slew her, Ruby did discourse to me at ''length.'' I do know ''all'' the secrets of your village.
-->'''Luna:''' Who amongst you saw her success as a threat to thine own? Who envied her? Who slew her? And, of course -- who saw her slain? Ye ... ye ''all'' did? She was done to death right before ye, and ye did naught to stop it? Or to punish the slayer? What ... what ''are'' ye? What ''monsters?''
-->'''Luna:''' Ruby... She must have suspected something was wrong when she came home from the City last week. She was ever intelligent... curious... She would have asked questions. Searched for answers. And found them... She was ever good at finding things... I saw her Mark on her poor burned body, 'twas as I expected, a Finding Mark. She would have made such a good Finder... a Pony of worth... worth more than your whole damned little huddle of huts... ye destroy the best... And, no doubt she felt a duty to tell ''me.'' I was her patron, her Princess, her friend. She was Loyal to me. She knew I hated brigands... 'twas a sentiment we shared ... how it must have hurt her to find that her own family had taken to brigandage their own selves... she had such high ideals... such a beautiful heart... But she was also Loyal to ye. To her family, her brother, her father. She ''loved'' ye, one and all. How it must have hurt her to have to choose between loyalty to me and to ye, to her Princess and to her own kith and kin. She would have known how much it would have hurt ye had she informed on ye -- ''nothing'' hurts as much as to be betrayed by one's own kin. What did she choose in the end? It matters not, not any more, for ye curs ''assumed'' she would choose me, for I had greater gifts to bestow, because it is ''what any of ye would have done.''

-->'''Blueblood:''' I’m sure this comes as a surprise to most-um… all of you. But over the past few days, [[CharacterDevelopment I’ve had some time to think about things.]] Namely, what it means to be a noble. I think we’ve made it no secret that we view ourselves as superior to other ponies, and for the most part others are in agreement of this. We boast of our superior bloodlines and influence. But after seeing what’s happened here in Canterlot, all the destruction of the things we once thought were so important, I asked myself ‘what would cause somepony to think of somepony else as superior? What makes a bloodline noble?’ We nobles don’t live lives of combat training, and few of us are master spellcasters, so it certainly isn’t martial prowess. It can’t be money, because there are several rich ponies out there that, despite their great wealth, aren’t considered to be nobles. So what is it? What causes one pony to look at another and think ‘yes, that pony most certainly is superior to me. They should be in charge.’ After much thought, I have my answer: Those ponies were exceptional and they showed it through their deeds.\\\

--> '''Nightmare Umbra:''' [[SilenceYouFool Silence!]] To call yourselves Noble is laughable. You claim to worship Celestia, yet when I look into your precious little Sun-Loving faces, I do not see ponies she would be proud of. Just look at you now-- you trample those weaker underhoof in the hope of buying yourselves another breath of life. Craven beasts, that hope is as empty as your hearts. Eight Hundred Years have I waited, marshalling my power. Eight Hundred Years have I given you to do the same. When I emerged from my silence, I expected to see ''armies'' arrayed against me! Heroes and Sages aiding great leaders in battle, against the only foe that will ever matter for you. A worthy challenge to my Dominion. What have I found? The petty rulers of a broken World, sitting in pretty rows, celebrating the union of a blushing filly and a pampered fop who you expect to be your Sovereign. Are you such fools that you thought me gone forever? Were you not informed of my return? Did you not see the signs?

-->'''Charisma:''' If you wanted someone to kill you so bad, you could have gotten literally '''anyone''' who's spent more than five minutes with you!!!

ESPECIALLY BY A MORON LIKE YOU!!!!!

-->'''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!

-->'''Truth:''' You wanted to give those ponies freedom? From what? Themselves? [[BlackSpeech Gru dova suva, no naak grul!]] Your 'perfect society' is a civilization built upon deceit and lies! The very sins YOU claim cutie marks to represent! Never was there another such as you more blind to the irony of their so-called cause! You sought to take away the 'evil' through acts of your own evil! You would build a world where nopony was truly alive and free, just mindless puppets whose lives and fates were strung to your hooves, to do with as you pleased! Sentient thinking animals reduced to nothing more than toys to play with, simple minds to fill to the brim with empty promises!
-->'''Starlight Glimmer:''' B-but-!
-->'''Truth:''' And you speak of these cutie marks as bringing nothing but pain and misery? Then why, oh 'wise' and 'all-knowing' Starlight Glimmer, would you hold on tightly to your own cutie mark? Why in all of creation would you, the savior to those poor souls who wandered the earth without feeling of purpose and acceptance, wish to remain branded with a symbol she deemed a mark of shame? If all cutie marks are nothing but a symbol of evil, then what did that make you, hmm? There were some who ventured into my mountain before, who called me a monster. But looking at you, and that horrendous evil mark! Why, you must be even more vile and despicable than I! Perhaps I should be the one to cower and shiver in your presence! Kee kee kee kee kee kee ku ku ku hur hur hur! Oh please, Starlight Glimmer, whose mark makes the Devil himself seem a jolly fellow! Oh please do not hurt me! KEE KEE KEE KEE KEE KU KU KU HUR!
-->'''Starlight Glimmer:''' Sh...shut...it's not, I mean, I...I...
-->'''Truth:''' But the best part of all of this? You actually believe that YOU created something close to the concept of harmony and friendship? Your infallible order rested upon making ponies believe they weren't special! That friendship stemmed from being part of a group of mindless creatures incapable of thinking for themselves! Unable to have dreams and aspirations in life and taking a chance to fulfill those ambitions! You actually believed that all ponies would be better off living a dull and bland existence, where they grew into old wrinkly stallions and mares who looked back on the life they lived, and found no beauty, no wonderful cherishing memory to take reflect upon as they counted down the final seconds of their life in this world? Even a prison cell offers more of life and freedom than what your 'perfect world' would promise!
-->'''Starlight Glimmer:''' St...stop...it...please...!
-->'''Truth:''' Why, whatever is the matter my dear Starlight Glimmer? Does the truth behind your philosophy hurt you? But you seemed so blood-bound to your ideals not so long ago? Are you...gasp...are you starting to doubt your own ideals? The near-biblical true way of life that you so persistently forced upon others? Tsk tsk tsk, Starlight Glimmer. If you cannot even defend your beliefs, then your cause has been but a waste of time. For yourself and for those poor souls who you deceived with your terrible lies and false dreams.
-->'''Starlight Glimmer:''' I...I only...w-wanted...
-->'''Truth:''' Yes, I know. You wanted a world where only YOU was the only important pony alive. Where words like 'special' and 'talented' and 'amazing' only described yourself and not anypony else. You wanted to create a world where everypony entered the world, lived their lives, and then died having never accomplished anything in their time on this earth, because they would never have had a special talent to give them purpose in life. To give them something to dream about and work hard to fulfill, knowing that even if they don't succeed they can at least live on with the knowledge that they took a dare instead of wandering around with hideous false smiles plastered on their faces, wasting away inside until something akin to an empty colorless void remained.\\

'''Entropy:''' NOT EVEN MY CHILDREN HAD EVER MADE ME LAUGH. SO ENTROPY SHALL GRANT YOU A GIFT. ''(folds up the mirrors)'' TAKE THIS SO YOU MAY REFLECT ON YOUR FOALISHNESS FOREVER.

-->'''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?

---> '''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.

--> '''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)
* [[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.

-->'''Shepard''': Dr. Harland, I’m aware your intentions are good. You made that absolutely clear.
-->'''Harland''': And?
-->'''Shepard''': If you think that excuses for what happened here, don’t bother. You’re lucky I said I would get you out of here. Otherwise, I would’ve kicked your ass the moment I walked in the room and had you arrested. I mean, you didn’t find it odd that it appeared out of nowhere? The moment you found something was off, you went into studying it without containing it until it was too late. You sure do give science a bad rep. Feels great, doesn’t it? Being the mad scientist.

-->'''Chloe''': He doesn't need someone like you polluting his good social standing. You and him are on completely different levels.
-->'''Marinette''': And I suppose you're on the same level as he is? Please. If there's anyone 'polluting' his social standing, it's you.
-->'''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.
-->'''Marinette''': Sure, Chloe. Whatever lets you sleep at night.
-->'''Chloe''': Stay ''away'' from him.
-->'''Marinette''': No. Adrien and I are friends and there's nothing you can do about it.
-->'''Chloe''': You really think that?
-->'''Marinette''': Uh, yeah, I do.
-->'''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''': Go ahead and try. He won't believe you. Nobody would. Everyone knows you're a liar.
-->'''Chloe''': He'd believe me. We've known each other since we were kids. He trusts me explicitly.
-->'''Marinette''': Hardly, Chloe. Tell him whatever you want, he'll ''never'' believe you.
-->'''Chloe''': He will.
-->'''Marinette''': No, he won't. Just let it go. You can't keep him all to yourself—he's not some model doll you get to hoard. He's a person—someone who wants more friends than just you. Not that I blame him — you're a pretty terrible friend to have.
-->'''Chloe''': Excuse me? I'm an awesome friend.
-->'''Marinette''': No you're not. You're a horrible person, let alone any sort of friend. You're nasty to everyone, you're spoiled, you lie. You're downright cruel, Chloe. Nobody. Likes. You.

-->'''Chloe''': It's not like it's my fault he went crazy. I'm a victim here too, you know.
-->'''Ladybug''': You're never a victim, Chloe.
-->'''Chloe''': What do you mean? I'm always a victim. I feel like these akumas are constantly coming after me. Thankfully, you're usually there to save me, but-
-->'''Ladybug''': They come after you, Chloe, because you cause them.
-->'''Chloe''': Cause them? Doubtful.
-->'''Ladybug''': Akumas happen because you make people feel bad. You hurt people, so then they get akumatized and go after you.
-->'''Chloe''': Hurt people? I'm nice to everyone.
-->'''Ladybug''': No, you're not.
-->'''Chloe''': How would you know?
-->'''Ladybug''': Because you've probably caused more akumas than any one person I've encountered. Hawkmoth creates akumas from the negative feelings inside people. That so many people have felt so poorly toward you says a lot about your behavior. I don't save you because I want to, Chloe. I save you because you don't give me any other choice.
-->'''Chloe''': But… We've gotten to be pretty good friends because of it. That's worth it, to me…
-->'''Ladybug''': 'Worth it?' There's nothing worth this, Chloe! Look what's happened! Innocent people are- are as good as dead right now! There's a poor, tortured soul being manipulated! People are in danger! No, that's not 'worth it!'
-->'''Chloe''': None of that's my fault…
-->'''Ladybug''': Yes, it kind of is! If you were more considerate of other people's needs and feelings, then maybe this would stop happening! But you're not! All you care about is yourself and what you want! What about- What about what Adrien wanted?! Do you think he wanted to be terrorized and chased around?! Hurt and turned into- into nothing?!
-->'''Chloe''': I didn't do that! The akuma did! It's not my fault!
-->'''Ladybug''': ''You'' caused the akuma, Chloe!
-->'''Chloe''': I didn't!
-->'''Ladybug''': Then how did this happen?!
-->'''Chloe''': I don't know! I didn't do anything! So just stop yelling at me! Why are you being so mean to me…? I thought we were friends…
-->'''Ladybug''': We've never been 'friends,' Chloe. Beyond anyone I've ever met, you cause both Chat Noir and I the most grief. It's our job to help those who Hawkmoth takes advantage of, and you create the perfect situations to give him power. And no matter how many times it happens, you take no responsibility for your actions.
-->'''Chloe''': I don't-
-->'''Ladybug''': You ''do''! You hurt people, bully them, and show no remorse for doing so. It's my responsibility to protect people. How could I ever be friends with someone who cares so little for the feelings of others?
-->'''Chloe''': It's not my fault that-
-->'''Ladybug''': But you do ''hurt people''. And that's something I can't stand behind. We are not friends, Chloe. And we ''never'' will be.

-->'''Marcel''': If you ensure Adrien’s cooperation, I promise you’ll find the retailers of Paris to be a little more… sympathetic to your brand.
-->'''Marinette''': Wow… you are such a ''dick''.
-->'''Marcel''': I… ex… you just… I-I beg your pardon?!
-->'''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''-
-->'''Marcel''': Did… Did she just call me a-
-->'''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 ''clencher'' is that you thought I would go along with this psychopathic scheme which leads me to believe that not only are you-
-->'''Marcel''': I-If you call me a dick again I’ll-
-->'''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?
-->'''[[BeleagueredAssistant Bruno]]''': Basically.
-->'''Marinette''': You made your offer. Here’s mine; you will leave my office under your own power or you ''will'' leave under mine.

-->'''Ladybug''': …You know, I once pitied you. All of you. I thought your mistaken convictions were my partner’s fault — ''my'' fault. I thought I had failed you, that I somehow fell short of your expectations of what a hero ''should'' be. But now I see you. You’re nothing but scared children, lashing out at something you don’t understand in exactly the wrong way, making the situation ''worse'' than it actually is. So in the name of your ‘justice’, you terrorize the city I love in your own way — with fearmongering and ignorance. And then you accuse ''me'' of ‘throwing my weight around’, acting like I’m a hypocrite, when you know damn well that the difference between what you want to do to the akumatized victims and what I did to Hawk Moth is ''intent''. I didn’t mean to kill Hawk Moth. I was responsible, but I never wanted him dead. But you threw ''bombs'' into ''another citizen’s house'' for something he had ''no'' control over! If you think the akumatized victims are monsters, then what does that make you?
-->'''Bomb-flinging woman''': ''We’re'' not the ones tearing up the city and threatening innocent folks every other night!
-->'''Emerald Shell''': Yes you are! You’re persecuting ''victims'', damn it!
-->'''Another AAT member''': Those people are inherently evil if they allow themselves to let a madman possess them! Chat Noir taught us that!
-->'''Chat Noir''': I was ''wrong''! Some of ''you'' have even been akumatized, for fuck’s sake! How are you not choking on your own hypocrisy by standing here and claiming that akumatized victims are inherently evil?! At least ''I'' realized that there’s something wrong with this mindset!

'''Hisashi''': (( [[NeckLift Grabs Bakugou by the neck]] ))\\

--> '''Kingpin:''' You know, I find the irony here almost ''cathartic''. Not because you're the hero and I the villain, but because this exercise has proven something I’ve always believed. I know that you are obsessed with being "Number One." I know you think that heroism is a competition, that being the best ''means'' something. Being Number One? It never mattered in the same way to me. I appreciate the title, the meaning behind the words. There are heroes and there are villains. That's the fight you should worry about. Number One? It's a joke. A public opinion piece ran by gossip magazines that worry more about sales than merit. I’d rather be a "Symbol of Peace."
* ''Fanfic/{{Coyote}}''

'''Nedzu''': Oh really? Let’s review what happened to the last group on whom you showered this particular benevolence. ''(puts down a folder and opens it up)'' Let’s start with the 20 students you expelled a couple of years back... Six of them applied for transfers to our competitors, graduated and went on to become Pro Heroes. Four of them overseas. They are all on record as disparaging U.A. to the press as having an undeserved reputation, by the way... [[TragicDropout Six of them were unable to complete their education and are now struggling as minimum wage workers. four more of them dropped out completely and now have criminal records as Villains]]. And five of them [[DrivenToSuicide committed suicide.]]\\

'''Nedzu''': That was not your decision to make! They proved their potential when they passed the gauntlet of the admissions exam. Your job was to bring that potential out, to nurture it, to teach them how to use their Quirks become Pro Heroes. Instead you decided to become an obstacle, a hindrance, a threat that the students had to somehow overcome just to secure their futures. On paper, you’re an excellent teacher. On paper, the students who graduate from your class are of the highest quality and go on to be great heroes. The reality, however, is anything but. You maintain your high evaluations by expelling countless promising young students, and keeping the remaining handful of gifted prodigies whom you barely have to exert yourself training, artificially puffing up your own accomplishments as a teacher. You’re constantly pulling your little ‘logical ruses’ on them, turning them untrusting and paranoid toward you and by extension toward the rest of staff. Your personal appearance is slovenly, your attitude is deplorable and you’re constantly sleeping in your own class! Your ‘eccentricities’ have been tolerated for far too long, and it has now been conclusively demonstrated that they harm this institution more than they help. You may be a fairly excellent Pro Hero, but you are a ruinously substandard teacher, and it has once again fallen to someone else to clean up the damage you have done. You may consider yourself on unpaid suspension until further notice.

'''Trixie:''' (''Nervous nod'')\\

---> '''Apple Bloom:''' Mrs Rich. There's something I've been curious about. What does your cutie mark mean?\\

-->'''Miura''': I realize that you're still angry about my defeating you, but I'd like to do what I can to earn your forgiveness. We don't have to be friends, but given the nature of our situation, we should at least be able to get along and work together.
-->'''Kurogane''': So you're making nice with me to keep me from murdering you? Believe it or not, I don't plan on killing anyone, so keep your platitudes to yourself- they aren't necessary or appreciated.
-->'''Miura''': I didn't think you were trying to graduate. I'm just saying that even if neither of us plan on murdering each other, we should be able to trust and cooperate with each other. That's why I'd like you to know how sorry I am for what happened in our game of s-
-->'''Kurogane''': [[BerserkButton A GAME]]?! Spoken like a true amateur! [[WellDoneSonGuy I competed against siblings and relatives just so the rest of the family would approve of me]]. I defeated pros who, like me, had played for all their lives. And then some newbie shows up, making me the laughingstock of the professional shogi circuit and an embarrassment to my family, merely as a demonstration of her talent! I can't think of what's worse- that you'd surpass me so quickly, or your 'beginner's luck' only lasts long enough to make a fool out of me.
-->'''Miura''': I-I didn't think of it as...
-->'''Kurogane''': Of course you didn't think! Dilettantes like you just play around until they're bored, then move on to the next thing. Your so-called 'talent' gives you a few wins, and might just fool most people into thinking that you're good at it, but you're still just playing around, not knowing what it takes to gradually build a reputation- or have all your hard work undone in a single loss.
-->'''Miura''': I didn't know...
-->'''Kurogane''': I'll tell you this much. True Ultimates hone their talents over time, and must continue to do so in order to be worthy of the honor- and burden- of being known as the best. You might not be able to leave this school, but you don't belong here, so don't talk to me unless it's actually important.

-->'''Mitamura''': I suppose I understand your feelings. At the same time, though, your actions were unacceptably selfish. For your own life and own desires, you murdered [[spoiler:Kurogane-san]], and were willing to let the rest of us die rather than own up to your actions and accept the consequences. I do not condone Monokuma-san's decision to sentence you to death, but someone like you has no place in our group.

-->'''Lucina''': You knew from the beginning [[spoiler:Therion had changed the sheets]]. Why didn't you mention it earlier?\\

-->"Goddamn it, Saya. You just make things as hard as fucking possible for everyone. You think it means you're smart. [[ArmorPiercingQuestion If you're so smart, how come]] [[IntelligenceEqualsIsolation no one can stand to be around you]]? ''(Saya tries to say something)'' No. No. It's you. I used to think it was me, and your mother trained you to do this as some kind of petty revenge. But no, it's all you. It's all just... thinking you're impressing anyone, like some smug genius. Jesus fucking christ, I can't deal with it anymore. No one can deal with you."

--> '''Sandi:''' "I don't even know why I'm even wasting my time or theirs talking about or to you. You don't care about anything or anyone here -- you wouldn't lose a moment's sleep if anyone or everyone else were wiped out, would you? To you, it really wouldn't matter if this were a class project, a video game or real life - even if all these people that you know were to get wiped out, would it? You don't care about people getting hurt or dying -- I'm certain you didn't lose sleep over Tommy Sherman --"
--> '''Daria:''' "You have no right to say that about me."
--> '''Sandi:''' "I have every right to say it. You make fun of all of us. You think we're idiots, running around doing nothing of any real worth, just acting stupid and wasting time until we're dead while YOU cage yourself up in the dark in libraries and such, doing your living by reading constantly about the people who had the guts to do what you won't -- which is go out and LIVE! You make fun of people like Kevin, and Brittany, and Charles. You make fun of things like the 'Lowdown', the Fashion Club and the football team, and people like Andrea -- hell people like Mack and ME are afraid that someday, you'll notice them and start chopping away at them, hurting their feelings because you don't want to feel good yourself and don't want to know why! You treat us like idiots! Yes, we're not all as smart as you -- and by the way, even though we ARE the idiots, we still outnumber you - and if we wanted, we could stampede over you. But do you know why we don't? Because we don't NOTICE you. You see -- we're having fun. We're out doing things. We fight among ourselves, we do stupid things, we make others notice us, but above everything else we're living. We're alive - and whether we're in pain, or happy or getting screwed by the system, we're gonna keep going -- but YOU! You're a black hole for happiness -- you're world-class buzzkill! It's kind of like what Billy Thomas said on 'Series/{{Ally McBeal}}' -- 'Life is wasted on you, Daria! Life is wasted on you because you'll never enjoy it!' You're worse than a 'misery chick' -- you're Sally Field in 'Soapdish!' '''No matter how many chances you get for happiness, you'll just screw them up because you are the Queen -- of -- MISERY!"'''

---> '''Trent:''' "Daria, I'm not trying to --"
---> '''Daria:''' "You're not doing ANYTHING with, to or for me -- there are better-looking ways to get an STD, and you've probably never heard of antibiotics. What, piss-poor lyrics make you dumb AND deaf? Let me make it simple, so even a non-guitar playing bag of skin, bones and smell like you can understand without you needing your wannabe psychic earth-mother floating around on bong smoke to translate: GET -- AWAY -- FROM -- ME. GO -- THE -- HELL -- AWAY. FUCK -- OFF!" (pauses) "So you are capable of learning. I guess that empty look in your eyes is just for decoration -- well, something about you should be physically appealing to someone someday. Study up on '2+ 2' -- maybe you'll SOMEDAY be able to swing that job collecting tolls on the Jersey Turnpike. It's your kind of career, Trent: money, respect AND intellectual development. Maybe you'll pull down a Nobel Prize for your fundamental breakthroughs in counting loose change." (Trent steps away.) "Smart call, two-ply. Now practice playing the scales -- it'll help you pass the time in the Public Aid Office while you wait for your appointment to get food stamps. Better yet, close your eyes while you're there and count all the fans you'll have when you make it -- my God, are you done already?"

* In Chapter 16 of FanFic/GodSaveTheEsteem, appropriately titled ''Wedding Hell'', Erin (Daria's cousin) unloads on all and sundry with a screamer at her own wedding:
--> '''Erin:''' "Don't you even ''think'' about telling me off for making a scene, maybe if I did it more often I wouldn't be ''standing in the shit'' like this! As pathetic as Aunt Helen and her fucking coven are, at least they don't let someone box them into a fucking box for their own image! This wedding, this fucking wedding... this is all, all mirrors and smoke, you just want it to look good so you can pretend you wanted me to get married! And oh yes, Brian is fucking worthless but that never bothered you about Paul or Bruno or any other of the other ''troglodytes'' you keep dragging round the house every four months and forcing me to play stepdaughter to! And you wonder why I left home the damn ''instant'' I was laid off from work and had an excuse to move? Any wonder ''I'' stick with ''my'' troglodyte after watching ''you'' piss it up every third of the year? Don't ''you'' ever ''think it'', Daddy! I haven't seen you in years and so what if you can't stand Mother ''you could work something out, but you don't''! And Aunt Amy! Brilliant damn advice, ''brilliant'', you sure know about horrible shitty relationships only you forgot to give me anything more practical, like ''what happens if my boss is such a creepy pushy bastard he follows me''? ''YEAH THAT'S RIGHT I'VE BEEN HAVING SEX WITH MY BOSS ANDREW LANDON '''WE DID IT TWO MINUTES AGO'''''! Well, that's me ''fired'', I guess, ''and'' the wedding off too! Are we having FUN yet? ''Are'' we, Hellion Wheels? Is this ''punk'' enough for you? Maybe if I was doing this at 3 fucking AM and shoving it down your throat every damn time we met, that'd be punk, right? Christ, and your hellspawn is ''worse'' than you, you must have really ''worked'' at that! And don't think ''you're'' out of it, Daria, you made it clear you knew the marriage was failing and you snarked about it! Snarked about it? ''What use could you be to anyone''? And a big thank you, I MEAN FUCK YOU, to all my friends who had to walk in and decided to snitch about me behind my back, well I'm sure ''glad'' I wasted years of my life with you and tried to act all sympathetic with your problems! ''A total waste''! I hate every damn one of you."

-->'''The Lord''': (upon being told his power is nothing, especially considering Luthor's insane ally, Superboy-Prime, is both a PhysicalGod and powered by the Lord's weakness, sunlight) And what YOU have is a mad child throwing a temper tantrum, the last vestiges of your control soon to be shaken off. He bleats about how he’s going to be Superman…shuh, what a joke. Superman is at least something to be noticed. Despite all his power, all I can do is laugh at him and his little crybaby antics. He’s pathetic. Just like you....No matter what the world, neither you nor your father can win. At least this world’s Lex Luthor has the common sense to apply his genius to self-gratification. When the wave of white consumed him, what did your father have to show for his efforts? A WEAK LITTLE NOTHING LIKE YOU. Fighting the good fight leads to a false heaven, switching sides the same psychasthenia that so many have found before.

A worthless shell, used to bribe assassins with, among others no doubt, to con with, and scheme with. And now you tried to con yourself a life. With your ex no less. As a martyr to the Titans yourself, back from the dead honorably, when you really died crushing yourself by accident in the murderous rage you created from your insanity. You're pathetic Markov....See, that's your main trouble. You hate the truth Tara. You love lies. Lies are your best friend. You can shape lies. You can't shape truth. You can adjust lies by adding more lies. Adding a lie to a truth just makes it look worse. And you know what you'll end up dying with Tara? You and your lies. What a life that was. From nothing to something to nothing again. Hope you like this path, because on this planet, on the road you're on, you're screwed. Here lies Lying Manipulator. Died alone.
* Chris Dee's [[FanFic/CatTales Cat Tales]] is full of them, most notably one from [[spoiler: Clayface impersonating]] Riddler to Bane in ''Gotham Rogues'':
-->'''Riddler:''' Am I supposed to be impressed?
-->'''Bane:''' You should be afraid.
-->'''Riddler:''' Of… whom? The coward who had to wear Batman down before taking him on? The soured underpowered coward that—even packing the old venom advantage—needed to break us all out of Arkham to tire Batman out before he could take on a witty-bitty crimefighter half his size? I ''taunt'' Batman, you pusillanimous poseur. I say "Come and get me, Big Man." And when he does, I want ''his best game''. That’s how men measure swords, you posing poltroon. Why on earth do you imagine I’d be afraid of a… ''fraction'' of a man who had to hide behind my coat once already?
-->[[spoiler: Mr. Kittlemeier]] and I will be leaving now. Word has it you’re not a muscle-bound imbecile. If that’s true, you should be leaving too. Get out of Gotham and never come back. If you don’t… I will break you.

--> '''Superman''': Krypton.
--> '''Batman''': Hm?
--> '''Superman''': Krypton. Mars. Argo. Do you know what they mean?
--> '''Batman''': Your home world, J'onn's home world, Kara's home world. I just don't know why you're bringing it up.
--> '''Superman''': I never knew what my home planet was like. My parents sent me away when I was a baby. But J’onn married. He had a family, two kids before the White Martians invaded. Kara had her parents and a little brother. Maybe more relatives, but she doesn’t like to talk about it that much. Not with me or Ma or Pa. [[NotSoDifferent And they both lost it all in an instant, either war or planetary destruction.]]
--> '''Superman''': And you know something? They’ve drawn people in instead of pushing them away. J’onn spends time talking with the others in the League. [[WakeUpGoToSchoolSaveTheWorld Kara is balancing her time between the Titans and her friends at school.]] They’re still hurting, but they reach out instead of withdrawing. They don’t let their fears get in the way of their happiness. Meanwhile, you’re not even fit to be near children.

He doesn’t break up with a woman he’s attracted to because he’s afraid of her dying. Kara doesn’t break off her friendship with Barbara every time she saves her life.

--> '''Light:''' Mr. Raye Penber is very annoying and doesn't know when to LEAVE PEOPLE ALONE. I realize it is his job to follow me around like a lost puppy but could he at least put a small amount of effort into not being so bloody noticeable? It's almost embarrassing having to look behind me every day and see him there standing oh so inconspicuously behind me with that newspaper shielding his pasty face. [[NewspaperThinDisguise Yes, I can see him behind that newspaper]] the eyes in my face indicate that I am not blind. Your fiancé should note this fact next time he comes tapping along behind me, which should be any moment now I might add. Here are a few tips I wish to convey to your lover boy, please feel free to tell him for me as I think it's counterproductive for me to tell him. Besides it would just point out how inept he truly is: 1) when following someone try not to walk so loudly and when they stop walking you stop walking 2) when following someone do not literally follow them at every single moment of the day this includes lurking outside their room in the dead of night 3) [[LimitedWardrobe do not wear the same clothes every day especially when on a high school campus not only are you noticeable you look completely ridiculous]] 4) when on a bus that is being high-jacked by a man with a gun do not show your victim your ID with your real name, if you have to use a pseudonym it's not unheard of 5) [[WithCatlikeTread everyone can see you whispering in the back of the bus your voice is louder than you think]] 6) don't tell your victim what day your shift ends; you never know when they might have been paying attention. 7) when wearing the same clothes every day do not wear a [[ConspicuousTrenchcoat blue trench coat]], you want to be mistaken for a drug dealer every time you take a stroll? 8) when glaring at your victim and their date try not to look so completely bored, if you are going for the 'pedophilic-stalker' look be sure to complete it otherwise you look stupid 9) walk at a distance far enough away that your victim can't instantly grasp the fact that he is being stalked 10) try to look like you're doing something besides following your victim people might start to notice. I could go on but I think this should suffice, once again I leave with the statement THE WORLD DOES NOT REVOLVE AROUND YOU AND YOUR PATHETIC USELESS BEAU WHO CAN'T EVEN STALK HIS VICTIMS PROPERLY!!! Thank you for your time.

-->How dare you imply that I have no qualms about killing a child? Your stubbornness and decision to keep Eamon out of the loop about Connor being a mage just killed everyone in this castle, almost killed Teagan and almost eradicated all life in Redcliffe! How many mothers worked here and are now dead? How many sons? How many daughters? How many children? How many men, women and children from the village died because of this? Massacre! This secret of yours caused massacre upon massacre and the fact I was here to stop the last one was pure coincidence! And then you come and lure Teagan here to share this fate! And all you can do is cast blame and mewl in this pathetic manner? How dare you try and weasel your way out of your responsibility for letting this happen?
-->You weren't thinking of Connor's own wellbeing when you kept his magical aptitude a secret from Eamon! You weren't thinking about his well-being when you hired an apostate to tutor him! You weren't thinking of his wellbeing when you repeatedly lied to your husband's face about what was the most massive thing in your son's life! All that time, you only saw what you single-mindedly considered was for the best. You convinced yourself it was for the best just so you could not realize how utterly selfish you were! You were never thinking of Connor's wellbeing, only about your own!
-->You handed your son over to the first blood mage that someone happened to stumble upon! And even though any sort of logic likely screamed inside of you the words "this is utterly stupid", you did it anyway! Because you would not 'lose your son to magic"! You say you love your child, but all you do is do what makes you feel better, even at his own expense! Instead of seeing him as your son, you see him as a means to feel better about yourself! All he is to you is an object that improves your mood!
-->Oh, I know you love your son, and that only makes it worse, because it means your selfishness overpowered that love. And that is one of the worst kinds of betrayal. You betrayed your own child and now he has become an abomination that killed hundreds.

-->To Randyll of the House Tarly, Lord of Horn Hill from [[TryToFitThatOnABusinessCard His Grace Jon the White Wolf of the House Stark, First of His Name, King of the Three Realms of the North, the Trident, and the Vale of Arryn, Lord Consort of Winterfell and the Dreadfort, Commander of Moat Cailin, Warden of the North and Protector of the Realm]], greeting:
-->Perhaps this message shall come as a surprise. It may never have occurred to you that you may be among those I hate most in this world (at least, among those who still live). A lot of people have killed those closest to me. Some even killed me themselves. So hopefully you have an idea of my distaste for you if I count you among their rank. Or not.
-->I’ve felt this way for years, on behalf of your estranged son, Sam. You may be shocked to hear that I count the son you terrorized and exiled as one of my closest friends and confidantes. It probably baffles you, I’m guessing. We’re both military men, skilled in arms and tactics. I suspect we’re both in the habit of repressing our emotions. Despite the length and effort I’ve put into this letter, you may be surprised to hear that I myself am not normally a wordsmith. I prefer a blade to a quill or books, it’s true. Sam arrived to The Wall fat, scared, and hopeless with a weapon.

-->And perhaps the finest man I’ve known.

-->Samwell may have been cast out by you, but I want you to know that now, he is among the most valued men to the King of half of Westeros. Scared he may be, but he’s the bravest man I know. Not just because he’s killed a White Walker, because he saved a woman and child from a terrible fate, because he faced an army of wildlings, but because he was so terrified while doing those things.

-->He was terrified to tell me about you, about what you did to him, about the Hell you made his life until he left. Do you have any idea what it says about what you are when the best thing you ever did for your son was send him to a frozen, criminal-infested outpost for the rest of his life? That he found more love, strength, and belief there than in your home?

-->Yes, he found strength and courage in miserable conditions, but that is no credit to you, My Lord. I’m sure you can’t really conceptualize that it’s actually because Sam found sympathy and support rather than mere cruelty there. Or that actual fighters found value in him.

-->See, I suspect the only idea you’ve really ever had is brutality. You’re lucky enough to have gotten by on that alone. Unfortunately, the world we live in tends to reward that, which is easily the worst thing about it. But it saves no one.

-->Sam wrote to me, by the by, and told me that Gilly let her wildling heritage slip. He told me of your reaction as well. I’m sure your reaction to Tormund Giantsbane will be more restrained. After all, neither Tormund or myself are scholarly types who are terrified of you or impoverished young mothers without a home.

-->I want you to understand that whatever you may believe, you have nothing to be proud of in the pile of corpses you’ve produced. There are many great killers. Men everywhere, for eons, have been trained to accomplish the same things. The only ones who did anything special were the ones who applied these skills to try and make the world a better place, to improve and save lives.

-->You haven’t done that. Sam has, though. Even if he did bring a “filthy wildling” into your home in the process. I find it amusing that you consider the wildlings such a threat.

-->You see, if I were to weigh the numbers, it would be forces you’ve aligned with that have proven a greater threat to the people of Westeros than the Free Folk. Congratulations, Lord Tarly, you know how to kill. So can everyone else above the age of three. You’re neither singular, nor qualified, nor worthy to say a word against those of us who have managed more than just cruelty. The best thing you ever produced was the very son you rejected, and I’m just glad his gifts are not being wasted by you any longer.”

-->Sam was in many ways rich, fertile soil. But fool that you are, all you saw was dirt. Brilliant, braver than anyone I’ve ever met, kind, resourceful, dutiful, inventive, intuitive. I was robbed of one of my best men and greatest assets when he left for the Citadel.

-->I’d much rather have him at these talks than you. Somehow I suspect you won’t prove to be of much use. But Sam would. He knows how to play politics, you see, and he knows our enemies, and he’s read so very much about so many useful things. I really don’t understand what you’re useful for.

-->Sincerely,

-->Jon Stark, King of the Three Realms


-->Post-Script: Suspicions confirmed! Thank you for going out of your way to prove me right. My Lord, you’re a person who may know how to effectively produce corpses, but you’ve given no indication of worth beyond that. Throughout this whole talk, you contributed the least of anyone, I dare say, in this castle. The scullery maids have contributed more than you have. Despite your military record, the only thing I’d ever trust you to accomplish would be making my own people hate me. In my lifetime, I’ve never met anyone so proud of their own aggressive ignorance. I have no use for you. I have generals of equal and/or greater skill than you, and they manage their accomplishments without having a pig’s turd where their hearts should be. I pity Queen Daenerys that she must suffer you as a vassal. I’m sure she (and, if I have to guess, your family and subjects) is very much looking forward to your death.

-->'''Vincent''': My poor Maho, I have grown tired of your antics. I'm going to put you on the defensive right now."
-->'''Maho''': "[[FlatWhat Wha]]..?"
-->'''Vincent''': "Is it true that you have failed to see what is most important to you?”
-->'''Maho''': "[[LittleNo No]]."
-->'''Vincent''': "[[ArmorPiercingQuestion Then why have you pushed your sister so far away]]? You know nothing about true family."
-->'''Maho''': "Family. [[ShutUpKirk This is coming from a guy who has no family]]."
-->'''Vincent''': (indicating his platoon and the Oarai girls) "[[TrueCompanions They have accepted me]]. Much more than you and your school. [[SecondPlaceIsForLosers All you want is perfection on the field]] and it's because you pushed your sister away because she was doing what she felt was right, is the reason you lost. It's that reason that you will keep loosing."

-->'''Lady Grey''': Nishizumi-sama, the defeat of your school has led to an expansion of the sport. Surely this is a good thing?
-->'''Shiho''': Grey-sama, the participation of such schools as Ion Dumitru, Népe Boarding School, and Mt. Zion in this Federation may be beneficial, but that does not take away from the fact that tradition is being trampled upon—
-->'''Sakai''': Nishizumi-sama, I suggest you reconsider your words. I have been searching for years as to whom you remind me of, Nishizumi... and I believe, at last, that I have figured it out. You, Nishizumi, are much like my superiors in the war. Clinging to tradition and seniority, believing themselves to be the ideal of our world, and all the while leading our nation to its own destruction.
-->'''Shiho''': HOW DARE YOU!
-->'''Sakai''' How dare I? I dare speak the truth. What right does your school have to being the champions? What woman in their right mind plans to disown their own daughter for winning?
-->'''Woman''': You, you plan on disowning Miho, Nishizumi-san?
-->'''Lady Grey''': Whom is more honorable, the daughter or the mother?

-->'''Akio''': If I had a sister, I’d be there for her all the time. Not just [[spoiler:when she’s in the hospital]].

-->'''Akio''': The only one here that’s a disgrace here is you, Nishizumi. Victory or nothing? If that was true, wouldn’t Maho’s defeat have been enough for you to give her a chance? Miho is twice the tank commander you ever were Shiho.”
-->'''Shiho''': I will not be spoken to in such a fashion!
-->'''Akio''': It’s the only fashion you deserve to be spoken to. Sensha-do isn’t just about victory. It’s about camaraderie and friendship. Miho faced your team outnumbered more than two to one and she won. With her leadership a team made up of inferior tanks bested yours with their King Tigers, Maus, and Panthers. She beat Maho herself in a singular duel with a Panzer IV. Why are you punishing her for doing well?
-->'''Shiho''': That is not what Sensha-do is about, little boy!
-->'''Akio''': [[GetOut GET OUT]]! If [[spoiler:you’re not claiming her as your daughter]] you have no right to be here.
* In the fic, [[http://www.fanfiction.net/s/9200114/3/Steel-Carnage Steel Carnage]], [[OriginalCharacter Asuka]] gives one to Momo regarding her poor aiming skills, and to the rest of the team for keeping her around.
-->'''Asuka''': "Really? REALLY?! What the FUCK do you call that?! Why am I NOT surprised the cyclops aims like she's looking the wrong fucking way."
-->'''Momo''': "What the hell are you talking about!"
-->'''Asuka''': "You had one, two, three shots to make on me. Missing the first shot was understandable. But you missed when the Raptor was sat on its ass, just begging for someone to shoot it in its face. That miss cost Mallard team their continued participation in the match. Then later in the match you missed again when you were the only one who was available to stop me from knocking out Rabbit team too. Do blend your meals so you don't choke?"
-->'''Saori''': "Hey! Leave Momo-chan alone. If you don't have anything nice to say don't say it!"
-->'''Asuka''': "Really? Didn't you just say if there's something bothering you to speak about it? Stay out of this, you didn't perform like shit, so this has nothing to do with you."
-->'''Saori''': "It has everything to do with us! Momo-chan is a member of our team! You're bullying her!"
-->'''Asuka''': "You're letting her stagnate and rot! That's ten times worse. Do you trust her to watch your back in a Senshado match?" ''(only half the team says yes)'' "Yeah, doesn't look so great now does it!? You're flat out lying to her."
-->'''Miho''': "We're not! Momo is a hard working teammate, who never gave up or stopped acting in our best interest. She helped us when the school was about to close and fought with us in the finals. I have faith in her."
-->'''Isobe''': "Yeah! She was with us when we were stuck in that hangar against Pravda and fought with us to get out of that jam! Where were you when the school was in danger?"
-->'''Asuka''': "... while you were fixing volleyball posters to your tank, I was part of a deal between Engineering and Mitsubishi Heavy Industries. They supplied enough funds to keep the school afloat for three more months and I became one of their test pilots. And now, because of that deal, I'm going to be representing MHI in Steel Carnage."
-->'''Yukari''': "There's no reason to consider yourself representing anyone other than the school. Steel Carnage is just a rules test."
-->'''Asuka''': "You think so? Mitsubishi paid for the Raptor modifications, not the academy. The Student Council records should confirm this. They want the Raptor to be in Steel Carnage, but you can be sure that they're not putting their machine out there to be embarassed."
-->'''Saori''': "BAH! This is completely off topic! You're trying to distract us with strange and scary sounding things while you make fun of Momo-chan!"
-->'''Asuka''': "You're right, I am going off topic. Captain Nishizumi, do you have faith in her?"
-->'''Miho''': "Yes I do."
-->'''Asuka''': "Then tell me honestly, [[ArmorPiercingQuestion was she on the Hetzer's gun against Black Forest]]? ''(silence)'' That will be a no then. Some faith you have in her. I'm leaving. Clean up your act, or I'll find a team that has."

-->'''Miho''':"[[YouMonster You're a monster]], you killed [[spoiler:eight]] people, do you realize your crime? You will go to jail for that, I know !"
-->'''[[spoiler:Sodoko]]''': "In prison ? Ah ah ah. Didn't you read the rhyme ? I'll just shoot myself in the head and it will be completed."
-->'''Miho''':"I warn you, be careful."
-->'''[[spoiler:Sodoko]]''':"What are you gonna do exactly ? Hit me? I have a gun. I can shoot you at any time. But I'll keep my ammo for me. Miho, it's too late for you. You took the others for granted. And again, you didn't try to stop me. So I could finish my job."
-->'''Miho''': "What do you do now ?"
-->'''[[spoiler:Sodoko]]''': "[[JustBetweenYouAndMe Well, it must seem obvious to you. You will die, and soon after I will shoot myself in order to stick to my poem]]. You see, I eavesdropped. I heard everything. The opinions of others have helped me well. Moreover, if I had this attitude, it was almost to force you to think. But you were so stupid that I gained ground."
-->'''Miho''': "Don't say that... this is madness... MADNESS ! You were [[spoiler:a member of the Public Morals Committee]], I just can't believe that you've committed a so inhuman act... May your body rot in hell when you'll commit suicide, you just took my friends from me, you just maimed a team of its commander, you broke another, it seems that you don't realize what you're doing !"
-->'''[[spoiler:Sodoko]]''': "Even if I die, [[spoiler:Pazomi and Gomoyo]] will find someone else. Besides, I had turned to them at a time. But I won't tell anything to you."
-->'''Miho''': "[[spoiler:Midoriko]], you really are the worst junk I could find until now, you who respected so much the moral values, you finally have came into conflict with your own original intentions !"

-->'''Hisao''': Considering that the skills you learned were the ones I taught you, I beg to differ. I had assumed that you had grown past this. That you had matured. I see now that I was wrong. You've let hatred enter your heart. And it will be your downfall. Until you learn to forgive others, you will never be able forgive yourself. And you will never be in control of your own life.
