>le everything is shit face
It's okay to let yourself enjoy something every now and then.
The fucking front cover is borderline false advertising.
This looks fucking awful. I have never seen a more unappealing style
The art style is so strange but still adorable as fuck
>>20603653
>>20603651
That image was posted in every episode thread, so I'd say it's more of a running joke at this point.
>>20603656
Yeah, this is probably my favorite art-style in the comics.
>>20603654
>The fucking front cover is borderline false advertising

Welcome to the comic world;
>>20603661
Wait, is Spitfire saying Rainbow Dasi is a real Wonderbolt?
Who the fuck wrote this comic?
>>20603669
This is literally the worst analogy I have ever seen on this site.
>>20603669
>that analogy
>>>/v/
>>20603662
I still think that the CMC artstyle was the best shit ever, to bad that artist left IDW
>>20603669
>>>/pol/
>>20603672
That's what the instructor is saying, and it's not even clear if she's referring to Spitfire or RD.
>>20603675
You are literally just anus blasted.
>>20603654
Are you sure?
>>20603669
No but really, you're fucking new, even with pony. Pic fucking related is the worst.
>>20603672
She's pretending her to be another wonderbolt, she wants to keep it secret to the others.
>>20603669
>That analogy
Literally what. Its like the tripfag on /tv/ who keeps posting "Interstellar is like that scene from Return of the King where everyones happy and jumping on Frodo's bed just stretched out for three hours"
Allow me to sum up this thread in advance, for those who don't have the patience to read through it:
>Katie Cook is ten thousand whores for ten thousand years
>The publication of Reflections should be referred to the International Criminal Court
>Katie Cook sleeps in my closet and watches me at night
>Absolutely all of you--yes, including YOU--are IDW shills
>Katie Cook killed my father and raped my mother
>IDW sales figures keep sliding, you can't explain that!
>IA IA KATIE FHTAGN
We now return you to your regularly scheduled 4chan.
>>20603683
>>20603678
Agreed. It makes me happy whenever I look through that one and the artstyle is a big part of it. It's just perfect for the CMC.
>>20603694
>>20603656
I was gonna say, this is cute as fuck. I love the expressions.
>Dash finally not a cunt.
>It's made by Anderson who'll probably be his final with the EqG special.
Even if he was a SJW retard, welp
>>20603690
If you cannot really comprehend the anology it means that just because everyone does something stupid it doesn't mean that you cannot take issue with someone doing something stupid.
IE just because every comic book cover ever has been a lie, does not mean you cannot take issue with it.
But then again, most people here are on the retard end of the bell curve.
>>20603688
> That half circled Sombra.
Funniest thing of this whole thread, official comic and all.
>>20603703
>>20603703
Hey, a decent callback!
>>20603705
He's a faggot, has horrible opinions, uses SJW arguing tactics, defends his opinions till the bitter end but that fucker has skill.
He deserves what he got but fuck it it's still a big loss.
>>20603710
>>20603706
It's a comprehensible analogy, just a really shitty one.
>>20603710
Oh boy.
It's funny, because her thought is pretty much how I thought Dash think most of the time.
Now I'm scared Spitfire will activate top cunt for the rest of the comi.
>>20603706
No I understood what he was getting at perfectly.
But the example he used to promote it wasn't applicable to comics. There is no common ground between niggers and comic book covers that makes the analogy work.
Wasn't complaining about the point.
Its just redundant to point out considering its a staple of the industry, much like people coming back from the dead is.
>>20603717
>>20603691
You forgot
> Everyone at /mlp/ loves the comic, there's only a small, insignificant, noisy minority disliking it
> There's only one lone samefag posting his pathetic, insignificant opinion over and over
> It's a comic for little girls, the comic is not for you
> You weren't entitled to anything to begin...
> The comic sales drop are normal, there's no reason to believe any of those fake sales figures posted by the same fedora-wearing neckbeard loser
>>20603718
If it is comprehensible and fits the point then I fail to see how it is shitty. Maybe because everyone here is on the wrong end of the autism spectrum that using the word rape triggered their niggers, but the analogy works.

For the comic industry it's the other way around.
Comic book fans act in a violent mob when something doesn't pander to them or go their way. And the industry isn't stealing from their fans, their fans constantly throw money at them because they're easy to please and even when they're dissatisfied they'll continue to read and discuss what you're making.
I didn't know /mlp/ was this stupid.

>>20603801
So is Scootaloo just physically disabled in this comic? I know that those fillies seemed much younger than Scootaloo but it's not like they'll give her a bunch of shit for being there.
Why wasn't she in the class on the second day? I guess this was like a paid class?
Why wouldn't Scootaloo's
>parents
take her to something like this?
I feel like it's kind of begging that question.
FF#1 is still worse then this, right?
For those of you that hate it, where does it rank as far as worsts go?
>>20603802
Storytimes are actually part of the reason I ever started buying comics. Someone did it for issue #1 of pony and it was good enough that I bought it to see it in print. I skip on the ones I don't like, but I really do like how they look physically.
I doubt most people buy them, but some get into comics through them so I wouldn't say your statement is wholly true.

Wow... this is the power... of the mlp comics
>>20603842
Absolutely. Still the worst non #1.
>>20603809
Not as good as I had hoped, but better than I had feared.
The characters were treated relatively fairly, it's been a long time since we've had a Dash this good in the comics. Spitfire was OK too, especially the callback explaining her behavior in WA.
I absolutely love the art, it's adorable as fuck, but the artist should probably watch the show before trying to draw any more backgrounds.
Sadly, beyond that it didn't have that much to it, I didn't find it particularly funny or interesting, so maybe a 7/10
>>20603841
>So is Scootaloo just physically disabled in this comic?
Late bloomer/possibly disabled.
>Why wasn't she in the class on the second day?
Since the class takes place in Cloudsdale, Scootaloo probably wasn't signed up. Maybe if they had something closer to Ponyville.
>>20603842
>FF#1 is still worse then this, right?
That issue still sold much more than Andy Price and Katie Cook's Rarity and AJ's FF comic, despite the previews and reader feedback warning everyone about how bad was the first FF comic.
Think about it.
>>20603864
That issue was also the first of the FF series, so it had a lot of covers and hype for that reason.

So

>>20603842
>FF#1 is still worse then this, right?
That shit beat the shitfest of the rainbow dash microcomic. It´s too hard to beat that record
>>20603819
kek
>>20603864
Because it was a #1. The first issue of the main series and the micro series were also the best selling of their series. Do you think that's just a coincidence?
>>20603863
There's a surprising number of pegasi in Ponyville but the town is too earth-pony centered to have something like that.
>>20603853
>>20603864
>>20603872
Alright, just wanted to be sure that was the case. I think they'd have to really try to be worse than that one.
>>20603842
It's really hard to beat FF1. You would have to purposely try to be that bad.
I used to buy the comics, but I practically stopped six months ago. Almost everything is either mediocre as fuck or just plain bad. I'll wait until there is one that I think is worth a purchase.
> This comics
> The comments
Well... it's kinda obvious who were the real readers and who are the samefag shills desperately trying to apply damage control.
Would you faggots die if you just admited the comic was just plain bad?
Negative feedback is also a very important aspect of comic industry faggots. Unless the editorial is told about what the fuck is it doing wrong with one license, everyone there will just assume they are doing awesome and will have no reason to correct mistakes and learn from them.
>>20603841
The name, junior flyers summer camp, tells us it's probably a paid camp. Plus it's located in Cloudsdale, quite a long way from Ponyville.
Scootaloo is definitely a late bloomer, both in getting her cutie mark and flight, but it's uncertain whether she's disabled or not. Fluttershy was pretty fucking terrible at flying when she earned her cutie mark, so Scootaloo might not be that far behind her.
>>20603895
>I used to buy the comics, but I practically stopped six months ago.
I stopped buying the comics when I saw Flash Sentry being shoehorned in Luna's Micro.
I have never seen any reason to want to buy them again, and lately I haven't even been motivated to download the free scans.
Think about it: not even having the comic for free can make me want it anymore.
>>20603903
>shills
Do you really believe marketers would come to fucking /mlp/?
>>20603801
I really liked this, the art was brilliant and the story was fun
>>20603903
There's a difference between bringing up a problem in a comic or discussing the structure of a comic than just saying it's shit and insulting anyone that disagrees with you.
Literally none of the post against this comic could be used to help improve the comic and just looks like angry post on an image board.
If you were in the industry would you want to listen to someone insulting you or someone telling you how you can improve?
And out of all the places to promote a comic why do you think someone would come to /mlp/ of all places to do it?
>>20603903
>Would you faggots die if you just admited the comic was just plain bad?
inb4 bobby curnow is the damage control samefag
>>20603921
No, but I do know that certain assholes who really like to promote and defend the comic for free frequent this site to apply damage control, create fake hype and pick fights/ try to recruit their own leejiuun to make them fight their whine internet grudges for them.
Users from Equestria Daily and Round Stable constantly partol /mlp/ to look for things to bitch and get mad about, for example.
>>20603941

>>20603937
Considering how desperately he rejects any responsability for his fuckups and how strongly he denies the comic's problems (Ted's issue included) I wouldn't be surprised if he had visited this place to apply damage control.
>>20603801
>Even your heroes can have FLAWS.
Heh, if only some of /mlp/ got that.
Anyway, pretty gud, it's of course a predictable retool of "drill sergeant nasty don't know how to kid", but it was okay.
I have the nasty feeling that if Meghan would have wrote it, it would've featured TWILIGHT and Dash in Spitfire's position, but I'm glad we got this instead.
Dash being good with kids like that makes sense since after all they want to learn to fly and that's all she know.
Pretty gud 8 R.I.P Ted Anderson DashXLoopDeLoop porn when/10.
>>20603950
Because it is discussed every time some asshole brings out names like soundmonkey44, illustrious q, murrisson and nk snork.
You don't like the comic? Then you are automatically murrisson samefagging over and over and if you disagree you are automatically autistic (and murrisson as well)
just yesterday we had a funny bitchfest when some assblasted samefags were complaining about the new thread watcher, since now it shows the number of individual posters present on every thread.
They whined and whined and whined because they can't samefag anymore and tried their best to pretend it was a flawled, unreliable option that proved nothing, etc.
>>20603958
Honestly, I wouldn't be too surprised considering we are one of the places that talk about the comics the most regularly compared to other sites.
>>20603828
>Dat face
Rainbow dash really like the fillies
>>20603801
Mixed feelings. I though the story was adorable and added a bit more to Spitfire and Rainbow Dash. But it was rather predictable and unoriginal as fuck sometimes. Same for the artstyle, it felt nicely expressive and adorable at some points and utterly wrong and unfitting at others. Plus that it seems the artist couldn't grasp much of the background style concepts of the show.
6/10 for the mere fact that I could find enjoyment in it. If not I'd score it worse.
>>20603673

And the comments are just pathetic.
>>20603977
And if you say anything positive about the comic, you're automatically soundmonkey44, a hasbro shill and a shiteater. And when you disagree, you're automatically a samefag who should be ridiculed. Anything you say is damage control and can never be an honest opinion, cause you're opinion a shit.

>>20604019
You can say positive things when the comic is great.
Despite /mlp/'s hate against Price and Cook, the locals still will agree that Rarity's micro and Big mac's gazebo arc were the best oficcial comics ever made.
But butting in to say that a piece of shit is great, and splitting hairs to rationalize shit as good? Yeah, definitely shilling no matter how mad you get.
Alternatively "Both? Both."
>>20604042
>You can say positive things when the comic is great.
You can also say positive things when the comic ISN'T great but also isn't offensively bad. This is where subjective opinion comes into place.
>>20604042
People once thought Cook/Price was better than the show FYI.
DID SOMEONE SAY WONDERBOLTS?
>>20603801
Eh, this was probably the definition of hit or miss when it comes to a comic. Sometimes the art is cute, but it also has the moments of just oh god. I didn't hate it, but I also didn't think it was great.
>>20604064
Nope.
Things aren't "partially" anything, things are either good or bad.
So you can take your "It wasn't great but the bad parts weren't so bad so it was actually great" mental gym back to the round stable, IDW boards, equestria Daily, Bronybooru or wherever you came from.
Good quality and bad quality speak for themselves.
>>20604079I THINK I HEARD SOMEONE SAY WONDERBOLTS
I really like this artstyle, I feel like it would look really smooth animated. It's a lot curvier and has a better flow than the usual FIM style, and gives all of the characters a better range of expression. Also, the story was p good, not too terrible for anyone. easily 7/10.
>>20604074
>People once thought Cook/Price was better than the show FYI.
Yeah, this is true.
They thought they were better than the show.
Keyword: were, as in "not anymore"
Anything they made after the gazebo arc varied from mediocre to just plain shit.
But before of it? Genuinely great stuff, and one of the reasons why they are so hated now.
We already know they are capable to do awesome stuff... when they want to.
All this back and forth is making me wonder.
Do you think you're able to enjoy the comics in the state they're in at the moment?
A yes or no will do.
>>20604082
>Things aren't "partially" anything, things are either good or bad.

They could be better easily. I'm sure not everyone is a fan of it, but I do wish IDW would take the same polices as DC does when it comes to editing and all that. When there's a massive fucking trainwreck like Superman Grounded, they stop that shit so it won't waste anymore time.

All well and good but you forgot a key, third demographic
The people who will call everything shit and not following up with genuine critique.

Shit like what happens at TRS is why the comics stopped being good in 2014.
>>20603962
There's also Flight to the Finish, Dash is good with kids regardless of whether it's flying or not, I guess she can communicate on their level.
>>20604141
Only a building full of children who can barely fly.I get the joke
I gotta ask.
What do you guys like about the comics, is it just because its pony's doing pony things or is there something else.
I actually bought some of the comics but just didn't get the appeal.
>>20604145
How is she a cunt in that post?
D-D-D-DID SOMEO-O-O-ONE SAY W-W-W-WOND-D-DERB-B-B-BOLTS?!
Do you guys actually use the other autistic forums or do you tend to stay around here and disuses things?
>>20604155
I'd guess because she's not taking a complaint seriously? Par for course with an IDW artist.
>>20604160
Those fucks are like brick walls. Sometimes some of us post on IDW's forum if only to show them that there are people who will not circlejerk them.
>>20604161
But this is just proving her right.
I'm not saying that reflection wasn't shit but you'd be hypocritical to not call 4chan a shithole.
We're full of hypocritical jerks who can't really do a good justice over someone jerkiness, just look at how we call Rarity a whore and Dash a cunt.
The fact that this guy call her a cunt just for doing a jab at us is almost validating her recursively.
>>20603801
Very underwhelming comic.
>>20604153
When I did buy them, I bought them because they were simple adventures or tried to help characters that I feel didn't get as much attention as they should. Like the Rarity micro, it wasn't trying to be deep or some shit. It was just a really fun comic to read. Then there's the Nightmarity arc, which has that part with Spike that is probably one of my favorite moments in the overall franchise.
>>20604160
I've only made like two or three posts at the IDW forums when I feel like something needed to be said.
>>20604104
I enjoy 1 out of 5 of the current comics, give or take. This is one of those I enjoy.
>>20604153
Same reason as I like the show, cute ponies doing cute things. Meta drama and some issues that really seem to get on /mlp/'s nerves don't bother me as much, but I try and stay aware of the comic's shortcoming's. I've skipped out on a bunch of physicals I didn't like after storytiming them, but tend to like the ones I bought a little more after reading them away from here.
Oddly enough the same seems to happen if I dislike an episode first time around in the stream and watch it later on the iTunes rip.
>>20604146
I wonder how things could be if Curnow were replaced as editor.
>>20603688
These comics were shitty, but I hope we will see this Universe again, in it's current state without Mary Sombra, Edgelestia and BDSMLuna, with the MirrorMane six as the main antagonists or an interdimensional war. Honestly, this steaming pile of crap was promising.
>>20604180
>Then there's the Nightmarity arc, which has that part with Spike that is probably one of my favorite moments in the overall franchise.
Spike really shines in these comics when done well. FF#3 is another example that took me by surprise. It's an example of a Spike I doubt we'll ever see on the show.
>>20604187
Fuck that, just start all over with a different Alt Universe. One that doesn't have the rules change to fit a writer's narrative when she corners herself.
>>20604104
I liked some of the recent one, bookworm, pirate, big mac, luna, rarity, celestia, etc.
Even the trixie thief or the Maneiac one was okay, even if its Ted.
>>20604193
Even in his micro he was good. But tbh that Celestia/Spike issue was more about Twilight.
>>20604187
Thats what we all wanted.
Instead we had nothing AND cook mocking us for not liking the comic.

And Curnow admitting he tells writers to write for themselves always.
>>20604160
One thing that's great about /mlp/ is that you can spek your mind here, no matter if you are a normal person or a shill.
The Round Stable has rules that forbid any opinion that doesn't suit their own, and all posts are reviewed by one of it's femnazi mods for approval before it could get posted.
if they don't like your opinion they will not let you post it, and if you don't learn to accept their opinion as the only correct truth, they will ban you.
Meanwhile at /mlp/ you can shill and be an annoying shiteater if you want to, and while you will be called names for it, at least you still can post whatever dumb opinion you want.
>>20604104
No.
Say what you want, but I admit it was Reflections that hit the final nail in the coffin for the comics to me. I had enjoyed all of Cook and Price's work up until that point, I think the Luna Micro was the last thing before that arc was published that they had worked on, and I loved it. When this arc released it's second issue, it became clear they really didn't give a shit about learning from their mistakes, couldn't breath air outside their comfort zone and where confirmed to be as biased as many speculated them to be. And also this arc revealed Bobby Curnow's amazing unproffesionalism, the Ted Anderson shit cemented it.
So, why give a shit about something the people behind it are not really putting the best effort behind for. Specially when it shows in their work.
>>20604222
What happened? Did they just get too comfortable with themselves and the hype? Did shiteaters really help them nit change?
>>20604160
Outside of here I sometimes pop up on Roundstable and the IDW forums and post what I found enjoyable and what wasn't enjoyable from an issue. But regardless of all the samefaggotry and hasdroning accusations that now plague this threads outside the occasional shipping infestations, this remains the best place to discuss the comics IMO.
>>20604180
The nightmarity arc was part of the 4 volumes i bought, guess they just are not for me.
>>20603801
adorable/educative/10 good history,I'm sure the creative could offer many different and interesting stories if it were not that hasbro keeps tight control of continuity.
>>20604184
Better. Comics would either die or become decent again. Bobby feels like that useless rock that is somehow keeping a building from falling. Either a cement block appears that will keep it steady, or they'll put a twig that will instantly snap in its place. Or another rock
>>20604237
Here and Derpibooru are the only places I see criticism.

6/10. Can I sue IDW for giving me diabetus? Because that comic was sweet and adorable. Apart from that, it was meh.
>>20604263
There's a couple of people that pop up on IDW aside from me that actually bring up pretty good arguments and critics against the comics once in a while. Anyone with reason who posts on RoundStable usually gets ignored or attacked though. I post regardless, but have never been attacked. Guess I posts for the sake of there being some proof of a sound mind around there.
>>20604275
Sounds useless, like going to EQD to try and curb the autism.
>>20603725
Just two pages ago she said herself that you couldn't do this with kids. How could she misunderstand Dash so badly?
>>20604275
IDW forums have some heavy posters that try to shoot down any criticism at all. And when you argue with them the mods threaten you.
>>20604282
Thing is that the staff go there. Shows them that some of their stuff does have issues.
>>20604236
Who knows, probably. I get a feeling of ego inflation after the Big Mac arc. I had met Andy at Unicon and he was pretty down to earth. Saw him again at BronyCon later that year with Katie and they both felt like they had their heads in the clouds.
Okay, fuck you guys, I'm going back to MLPG
>>20604236
>Did they just get too comfortable with themselves
This, mostly.
They're also experts at turning a blind eye towards critique, I doubt shiteaters even played a significant role, it doesn't matter if they're 1/1000 or 1/10 of the readers, since they ignore everyone else.
But mostly they got too full of themselves, take for example such a simple thing as the Observer that Price draws in the background, he started off as a silhouette, then a pony in a crowd, then he was in the front-row all of a sudden during Luna micro IIRC, and in reflections he's given him a speaking role and put him on the cover. They've lost focus of the pony they're supposed to be doing, and are instead doing their own form of referential circlejerking.
I guess another thing is that people were OK with their misrepresentation of for example Pinkie and especially RD in favor of AJ and Rarity, thinking it was either a one-time thing or an accident, thinking their time would come eventually. Things never changed though, and they're still shitting on Dash as much as they can, and grabbing any AJ or Rarity issue they can, it's no wonder people are getting fed up.
>>20604287
I only saw heavy Mod shooting activity during the Ted Anderson shit. Reflections Opinions where allowed to go wild, until Bobby decided to go unprofessional and try damage control.
>>20603801
Art adorable as fuck/10
>>20604312
Huh. They really only like three characters, don't they?
That AJ/Rarity FF was a big circlejerk.
>>20603801
I really liked this one. Nice character building on Spitfire, and even Dash. Art takes some getting used to but it's rpetty adorable.
Giving it an 8/10. One of the better FF issues.
>>20603801
Not a great story, but cute none the less. It's a mini series comic anyways, so I never held it up to ground-breaking high standards.
7/10 Art is cute. Could have used more inspired or creative backgrounds.

Typical Round Stable shilling shit.
Go away and die forever, we still have Dan to keep the storytimes up.
Ok, /mlp/
How much do you think this issue will sell?
Around the 15,000 or 16,000 mark?
And once again Murrisson is samefagging about his archnemeses.
Take your forum drama where it belongs.

>tfw its either "THERES NOTHING WRONG WITH IT GODAMN IT ITS LITERALLY FLAWLESS or "ITS SO FUCKING SHIT I HATE PONIES SO MUCH EVERYONE WHO LIKES IT IS A SHILL"
I liked it, it has flaws, like all the comics do, but it was cute, didn't make Dash top cunt, and nothing within it made me look at it and think "holy fuck that makes me mad".
For me it was just average, wasn't adventurous enough to be great, but tame enough to not be shit.
Why does everyone have to have extremist opinions?

Why do you even bother going to these places, whats the difference between that place and EQD. both seem pretty bad in terms of autism.

You poor fuckers are so pathetic.
>>20604652
>Go away and die forever for liking what I don't like
Yeah, that is an example of an extremist opinion. Whats your point?
Even still, 8 is generous. I'd have said 6.3/10.
Are opinions that aren't polarizingly black and white your trigger?
>>20604646
Most of the repsones to this issue on both here and idws forums have given it a 6 or 7/10. Only the normal shils and shitposters have said otherwise.
>>20604672
>>20604664
I know exactly what you're trying to do.
>>20604608
That's not a real answer.
Personally I think it will be around the 16,000 mark rather than just 15K.

Don't give a shit about the comic criticismù, in afct i welcome it. I just wish internet ego drama would stay out of these threads.

Because it's funny to see concentrated autism in action.
And it's funnier to wach autistic people believing they know shit.

You're so pathetic, you can't take any criticism of your precious comic.
>>20604672
>Are opinions that aren't polarizingly black and white your trigger?
And are opinions that don't have any room to be twisted into more favorable ones your own trigger?
Just asking.
>>20604716
Yeah that must be why I gave it a 6/10.
The only thing I can't take is your sperging out at anybody who doesn't outright call it turbo garbage.
I found it stale and unoriginal, but cute and non character destroying enough to be classed as decent.
Sorry that my opinion wasnt EPIC RAGE enough for you.
>>20604688
>I know exactly what you're trying to do.
Share your knowdeledge with everyone so we all could know what exactly is what you know.
>>20604746
Nope, I asked you a real answer, not some cheap quoting.
Once again: What is exactly what he's trying to do?
>>20604723
>And are opinions that don't have any room to be twisted into more favorable ones your own trigger?
Theres a difference between an opinion and critique. Critique is meant to weigh up pros and cons, opinions have room to be far less sophisticated.
As far as I've been able to tell, most people here have been classing their views on it as "critique", when all they said was "ITS SHIT!!!"
People have to be more articulated if they want to be taken seriously.
>>20604641

Hi Murrison
>>20604174
4chan isn't a single entity or a hive mind retard. It is a large amount of people with differing opinions.
Also how the fuck is thinking RD is a cunt and Rarity is a whore hypocritical?
>>20604867
Nope.
>"If the biggest complaint you can muster is that the background didn't accurately portray the show's style closely enough, then I think it's probably a pretty good issue."
I'm pretty sure that Rainbow Dash sending a deadly TORNADO against a building full of children isn't exactly great writing.
>>20604874
I guess if we call Rarity, a fictional character, a cunt it somehow makes it worse whenever some people call real people cuntts?
>>20604884
Well it is if you think Dash is a cunt.

Somebody post that at the Round Corral thread to see how they rationalize it as something cute and create a giant gray zone to avoid anything bad relationed with such irresponsible action.
>>20604928
Of course. Rainbow Dash is a cunt AND a hypocrite in this issue.
Guess she takes after the person who wrote her.
Okay.
>>20604884
I guess the difference is that this was a small, "safe" tornado (that took RD 10 minutes to whip up), while the one in WA took the combined effort of RD and Thundercunt and then spiraled out of control because they pushed too hard. Small fire in your backyard VS setting your house on fire. It actually wouldn't surprise me if that was the artist's reasoning for a heavy brick house instead of the pillars and arches the lore dictates.
