[Magical Girl Filter, even those grandfathered in by association]

[tsunpony]

Hey. I almost forgot to warn you guys about something.

Don't. Lose. Faith. In One Another. Or Create Arguments that will cause a massive rift between people. I dunno how other magical girls work, but we Precure gain strength proportional to our friendship with others, as well as our faith in ourselves and the people around us. The more people who cheer us on as well, will literally increase our power a thousandfold.

I know we had a lot of crisises in the past, but as a general note to the magical girls, don't argue with one another. If you do, make up. Become friends. Share sweets and have a generally good time. With our powers so closely tied to the bonds of friendship, any argument and in-fighting will drastically depower us to the point of Normal Girl or worse.

Try to extend this bond to people outside our community. Studies have shown anyone can gain a thousandfold boost in their power if they're encouraged.

Why so surprised? I'm not an easy target, even without powers. But I trust my family to keep me safe after all.

You'd do it for Fluttershy, or so I've heard.

[discorderly]

You're not giving it up for anyone - you're not getting anything at all for it. Did you just get tired of getting your own hooves dirty?

[tsunpony]

And do what? Fight? Being an eternal warrior never stops. It's the method you use instead of bloodying your knuckles now.

Some of us have new aspirations, hopes and dreams for the future. We can't be Precure or Riders forever. Look what happened to the Showa Riders. They never stopped pushing people away. And now they're eternally lonely warriors, never letting anyone get close because they will die around them before their own cyborg implants run out.

Some of the greatest things came when laying down arms.

[discorderly]

Oh, but when I take people's powers, everyone throws a fit.

[tsunpony]

That's because you took them without informing anyone of your intentions for doing so. If you even thought of communicating even once of your true feelings on anything and open up, there'd be less angry ponies who are still mad at you for taking their stuff.

At least this way, I feel like I'm going to lay down my arms on my own terms, and not have it taken away like Zemekis tried to do in Mayfield.

[discorderly]

You're still not going to be able to actually DO anything. Not that you could anyway, I suppose...

But you all seem so terribly invested in pretending you can punch your way out of this.

[tsunpony]

Who said anything about punching? If you haven't noticed, I'm looking for a non-violent solution. A lot of ponies are. Some of them are likeminded in that we want to solve this more than before without fighting.

If you're so smart, I'm sure you have this giant plan in case the punching and the diplomacy fails. Clearly it's not running a train into her which as you know worked so well.

[discorderly]

I'm not sure which train crashing YOU were watching, but that was hysterical!

[tsunpony]

Sure keep telling yourself that.

[discorderly]

You didn't think that was funny?

[tsunpony]

It was a bit excessive. Even by my standards.

Funny would have been pieing her in the face.

[discorderly]

But did you see the dance?

[tsunpony]

More or less. It was entertaining.

[discorderly]

Riiiiiiiight?

[tsunpony]

Yeah it was pretty good.
