| Fuzzy_Logic #219224 1 year ago |
This art style has irked me for a while and I just figured out why.
The eyes are too close. Way, way too close. |

uh-oh---
the element of discord can be cute and funny....but here they are showing their true color...their dark dark nightmarish colors... |
| Wrongness #219305 1 year ago |
Well I liked them but now they have to die. especially the one making Fluttershy cry. She dies first. |

I like this style and I like the conflict. |

The one with Fluttershy hits a little close to home... |

what the fuck?! is the twilight chapter out already??!! |

I feel like the three "friendship is interfering with your ambitions" attacks actually hit closest to home, especially to Dash and Rarity, because they're somewhat true. Their friends are indeed a distraction to their ambitions, at times, and staying in Ponyville is probably interfering in their progress. |

I'd love to see how the mane cast would be able to (successfully) counter the dark-mane casts' words.
Twilight Sparkle: You know what? Yes. My friends completely understand my needs to continue my studies and do you know why? I'm on a mission to study upon the magic of friendship because Friendship is Magic. Something that wouldn't hurt you to understand yourself. |

Hitting Fluttershy with raw hate is probably pretty potent though, she's so sensitive it's probably hard for her not to just get bowled over by someone's venemous invective. It might have a more direct cure (the love and support of her friends), but if her friends are having doubts of their own it could only make things worse.
Applejack's is effective, too, since people talking behind your back is ALWAYS a possibility. You can do nothing but trust they won't and hope you have honest friends. When someone sows seeds of doubt, especially well-chosen seeds, Pinkie-Pie's is the weakest, since it just plays on her ability to feel guilt and desire to be a people-pleaser. She's better at dealing with a jerk like Gilda by giving them their just rewards than bucking the influence of the truly feeble and pathetic. All of these attacks are potent because they happen in combination. Any one of them could be defeated by the united affection and warmth of the other friends supporting the one feeling doubts. All at once, though, and you touch off a vicious cycle where friends go looking for confirmation and validation from one another only to be left with more doubts. The momentum of their relationships turns away from friendship, accelerating away from each other. Friendship can be a very, very tenuous thing. |

^^ didn't finish my Applejack point. "When someone sows seeds of doubt, especially well-chosen seeds, you'll go looking for reasons to bolster your faith in your friends - and if your friends are in crisis they might only erode that faith." |

I'm really loving this concept, holy shit. |

Pinkie Pie: You know I can't invite you... by that, I mean I can't invite you to your own surprise party! |

Same anon as the last pic, I love this, I would love it more if it were clean and inked but that just because I love this unclean version so freaking much.
I have no critiques, this one was handled perfectly. |
| Spacepsy #220716 1 year ago |
why would it be surprising that the element of generosity would selflessly give up a desire for her friends? that makes sense to me. |

I like how AJ is the only one who doesn't seem to have any doubts. AJ confirmed for most badass pony. |

Meh, I like the elements of discord from the fanfic a lot more. |
| Anonymous #221801 1 year ago |
-888 I don't read it that way. Ajay's saying that just to attempt to convince herself that the statement is false. But the seed of doubt has been planted. |
| KoshLovesYou #224196 1 year ago |
Man, this is just fueling my interest in the show having a Sisterhood of Discord or somesuch, though I doubt they'll do that. |

Oh boy, I see how these attacks would be devastating, but I also see how they could be countered.
Krek already has Twilight's counter down, simple, clean, to the point. Oh, and Pinkie's reaction is also spot-on, since she already went into the dark lane of solitude (I doubt she'll fall a second time by only speaking to her). AJ having doubts on her friends is reasonable, but they are incredibly supportive of her, to the point they didn't even held it against her when she sent dozens of ponies to the hospital with her baked bads. Rarity... yeah, Spacepsy is right. In fact, being friends with the others is what BOOSTED her business, since Spike apparently knows Hoity Toity. She doesn't even have to move to Canterlot to be famous anymore, also, this artist alrady did a comic where she discussed the situation with the Spa twins. As for RD, what does their support have anything to do with being part of the Wonderbolts? Hell, I bet that without Applejack there to be a friendly rival, she wouldn't practice as hard as she does and would have never performed her second Sonic Rainboom. Also, I get the feel that Fluttershy is two seconds away from giving somepony The Stare... Seriously, how could they hate her? Rarity considers her her best friend, RD says she's a great support, Twilight even owes her her life for God's sake! |

Same Anon as above. I am saying this before reading the next Element of Discord comics, though I already saw Rarity's and Fluttershy's. |

Poor little Anti-Pinkie. Always so sad and insecure. I want to hug her. I want to hug her forever. She needs a forever hug. |
