YFW you realize that as the town vet, Fluttershy has probably been responsible for more deaths than any other pony in ponyville due to her euthanasia duties for the wildlife.
YFW this means of the entire cast, Fluttershy is the most familiar with death. |

I imagine her having her terminal cases well taken care of. like for 48 hours before the procedure she keeps them in a comfortable room with incense and nice food and friends and as much as possible to give them the most comfortable last day possible.
I could imagine her having a special room in her cottage for that. Just one day a ferret that is too far gone has been kept there and is happy but in a lot of pain and not going to improve, when she comes in, affectionately strokes it whole she slowly slips a needle in and sings a lullabye to it. |

damn it I made myself cry a little bit.
Watch how the first time she had to do it it was after she put it through a lot of needless stress and pain trying to delay the inevitable in a state of denial before she realized what had to be done. no syringe available to her at the time, her only option was cervical displacement. quick, mostly painless, one of the most humane ways to kill an animal, yet very hands on and brutal at the same time. she had to though. Of course I'm not saying she is a murderer or anything psycho... she does it because she loves the patient, and in the end she is doing the right thing. It's not like she does it all the time, only when she knows it must be done. |

Well most of the animals she deals with are small. So it would be more probable and easy to just cave in the skull with her hoof.
Which explains the dainty way she kicked the vase. |
| AdrianBrony #107107 1 year ago |
well caving in the skull is less efficient than cervical displacement, even MORE brutal, and isn't as likel to instantly kill if done wrong.
Plus, do you really think she is the type to not jump at the opportunity to give the patient a comforting needle rather than snapping its neck? She probably pays for the needles herself. |

Ok Adrian we get the point. Fluttershy is an ethical killer.
Now shut up. |

@Adrian: Oh, certainly. I worked that into a fic once. I think out of the whole cast, Fluttershy is the most emotionally mature (her breakdown at the Gala notwithstanding. That's just Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome.)
She definitely has the most hidden reserves out of any of them. Still waters run deep. |

Cutie Mark Failure Insanity Syndrome. I like that.
There is a similar idea in the Exalted RPG (which was basically just ponies before we had ponies) called Limit Break, but that term isn't very descriptive. CMFIS is an excellent start, but it needs a bit more work. Ponies go crazy. This is awesome comedy, a great writer's crutch for why one of the mane cast doesn't solve the problem and a fundamental aspect of pony psychology. It only makes sense, they live in a world filled with dragons, Ursa Majors, parasprites swarms and other existential threats. A temporary psychotic episode is preferable to a life of post-traumatic stress disorder. Luna is perhaps the most famous example of this disorder. I'm thinking the term needs to be shorter, a bit more clinical and it doesn't seem to be related to cutie marks. Pony Derangement Syndrome? Stress-induced Pony Insanity? Temporary Derangement Disorder? |

well not exactly because the only documented events of CMFIS in the show have been directly related to the cutie mark, not even the element of harmony caused such an event. Rarity'd denial of her generosity, Dash seeing herself as unfit for flying, applejack challenged with the inability to buck apples, etc. It's likely a culturally based phenomena, as so much is made of the cutie mark that to fail to live up to yours is likely seen by the culture as an existential threat in and of itself. It might be nonexistent in regions with less rigid views on the cutie mark, say in areas that believe they are open to interpretation and may not be as rigidly indicative of ones purpose as is seen in say, ponyville. |
