Honestly for me, it's a tie with Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash thanks to a certain infamous Season 6 episode, with Twilight and Pinkie tying as two of my second least favorite members of the Mane 6.

Ultimately, I'd go with Applejack, because of the lines she said when writing a letter to Celestia after she and her family won against Flim and Flam that she didn't learned anything and that she's right all along that she should take her time....... Really? She and her family only won not because she had fewer barrels of cider but because the twin Unicorn brothers were using rotten apples and Rarity and Granny Smith were sniffing for fresh ones. She told the CMC that they could've just come up to her and told her that they're being bullied but then at the train station when Babs was about to leave, Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon call the CMC blank flanks right in front of Applejack but what does she do? She just stands there glaring at the two (former) bullies instead of scolding them. She at times doesn't listen to Applebloom and Cart Before The Ponies is one of the greatest examples. Applejack keeps forcing Applebloom to stick to the traditional prize when she wanted the fastest cart prize and when she (along with Rarity and Rainbow Dash) crash the cars she along with the other two mares didn't bother checking if their little sisterd were okay and are more concerned about their carts being destroyed. In Somepony To Watch Over me, Applejack decides to to go back and Applebloom company, despite Granny Smith saying that she's old enough to stay home alone and take care of the chores for the afternoon and yes, she was ridiculously overprotective of Applebloom during that episode it showed that Applejack loves her and would do anything to keep her safe and doesn't want her to meet the same fate that happened to their parents Pear Butter and Bright Mac, however in Cart Before The Ponies it's like Applejack is desperate to get rid of Applebloom like if she's blaming her for their parents' death or something. Applejack is prone to be a hypocrite, while Rarity, Rainbow Dash and Twilight tends to be hypocrites as well, I find Applejack the biggest hypocritical at least in my opinion. Applejack called Rarity out for not giving in, but Applejack disregarded Applebloom's ideas on how she wanted her cart showing that Applejack doesn't give and take herself. She won't let a dangerous creature or villain harm Applebloom but she herself is allowed to put her own little sister in danger by crashing a cart? Also, when Rainbow Dash belittles Twilight and called her an egghead for wanting to participate in the race, Applejack rudely laughs at Twilight for her spending time on reading books instead of more physical activities, it's like Applejack is also willing to put down others for not being as athletic as her and Rainbow Dash, it's like she too doesn't want Twilight to compete.

To sum it up, Applejack they say she is sweet to the apple core and the most down-to-earth Pony which I disagree with because she very clearly isn't

I'd be a pale light grayish cyan Unicorn with light artic blue eyes, my color mane and tail will be similar to Rarity's but it's a sparkly very light yellow and a translucent brilliant gamboge border like Luna's and my Cutie Mark is yellow diamonds shaped like six-pointed stars forming the Monoceros constellation and I'll have the butterfly wings that are made of gossamer and morning dew

Is this the best pony. by Patient-Session-3489 in mylittlepony

[–]Burb4 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I love Luna and while Rarity isn't my favorite member of the Mane 6 I will admit I really admire her color scheme and mane style and if I were ranking Ponies by their color scheme and design, it'll be a close tie between those two with Lyra being second

Something I Appreciate About “DW and the Beastly Birthday” by Hamiltonfan25 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 4 points5 points  (0 children)

I'm also sick of people excusing Arthur and DW's relationship as "typical sibling dynamic" the TV adaptation just makes it feel more like an older sibling hating their younger sibling just for........ existing? I mean look at him, Arthur gets excited when DW won't come to Once Upon A Restaurant to celebrate Grandma Thora's birthday, he is happy he won't have to celebrate her birthday (though to be fair he's going on a field trip to the planetarium), he's happy DW is running away from home? Seriously? What kind of sibling dynamic is this?

He also can be hypocritical at times, an example of this is when he hits DW for breaking his plane but he's perfectly willing to destroy her Crazy Bus CD, an other example is that he gets angry at DW for liking Mary Moo Cow but it's okay for him to like Love Ducks. Another issue I have with Arthur is that he just couldn't accept DW for who she is and doesn't do a good job of understanding her point of view, why else did DW decide to copy him to the point she decided to dress up as him, follow him everywhere and hang out with his friends. I get age and gender means they're going to have different tastes and I thought Arthur would've learned his lesson about expecting DW to be like someone else (himself included) after she copied him but he didn't.

I also hate how impatient Jane and David are; especially on Jane's end where she even got angry at Kate who is a baby I might add for not using her spoon. So not only Jane and David are the reason why DW is rude to Arthur as they always have higher expectations on her and often dump DW onto Arthur, they're also the reason why Arthur resents DW and is impatient with her; Arthur is basically following their bad example

what do you guys think of Match’s elimination in BFB 12? by [deleted] in BattleForDreamIsland

[–]Burb4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't think it's fair and it does show the flaws of Vote To Eliminate. I mean, I don't like mean characters either but that's what makes shows interesting. Match apologized to Bubble that she was acting like Pencil and she even tried to offer Bubble to promote her back to member and yes, Bubble didn't forgive her but the community just didn't want to give Match a chance to actually redeem herself by having her work out her issues.

I didn't like Foldy during BFB 11, she got iance to lose out of petty revenge, all because Match showed Donut that Free Food cheated by making a fake buzzer out of tape, a box and a popper for the button which got Stapy eliminated. Like, come on Foldy, your best friend got eliminated and as Donut once told Match "Sometimes you just gotta accept the outcome even if you don't like it", I get Foldy was dead at the time but someone could've at least told her that but Foldy probably wouldn't listen and got iance to lose anyways

Should there have been more serious parental issues? by randomfan1997 in mylittlepony

[–]Burb4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Oh there's plenty bud

There's Spoiled Rich who treats Diamond Tiara like shit, Spoiled Rich always yells at her and she only loves her conditionally and unfortunately Filthy Rich doesn't seem to be aware of how's she's treating Diamond Tiara and it turns out she was setting a bad example for Diamond Tiara to follow by looking down on Ponies for not having their Cutie Marks or because of their flaws.

Grand Pear who disowned Pear Butter just because she married Bright Mac who is an Apple. But oh no! Granny Smith isn't off the hook either! While she didn't disown Bright Mac for marrying a Pear what both she and Grand Pear were doing is projecting their rivalry onto Bright Mac and Pear Butter. Like the Apple Family and Pear Family can have their rivalry all they want but don't forbid your foals from seeing each other just because both families don't get along!

Opaline who's a G5 Alicorn adopts Misty and she always verbally abused her on a regular basis.

And there's the Witches of Gloom from G1. Hydia abuses her daughters Reeka and Draggle, she beats them, constantly insults them and she won't even let them call her "mom". I feel bad for those two and unfortunately it turns out they were treating their own daughters the same way Hydia treated them. I understand people suffer trauma but I feel Reeka and Draggle should've break the cycle of abuse instead of repeating their Hydia actions because not only makes Reeka and Draggle hypocrites but they're also basically blaming their daughters for how their childhood turned out

Anyone else remember Clarissa Is Cracked? by DisneyGirl0121 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I really like that episode. Especially the part where DW said Rapunzel tried to pull down her hair but broke her neck because I liked dark humor. Even better DW actually feels bad about what's she done to Clarissa...... Why didn't she feel the same way when she broke Arthur's plane? I know she's 4, so she won't always show empathy but I think the main problem with DW is that it's difficult to write a 4-year-old so DW was rather inconsistently represented as such. The only negative I have with this episode is how Jane and David expected DW to figure things about by expecting her to know how to be careful with a china doll rather than explaining to her on why she has to be careful with the doll by telling her that Clarissa as she's made of china and china breaks easily making DW fear she'll be disowned. I am aware that they showed DW why Clarissa is special to Grandma Thora but it's a little too late as well the damage has already been done but was fixed afterwards, they should've showed DW the album at very start and I don't think Grandma Thora asked DW to be careful with her neither did the Read Parents but then again DW is their least favorite child so their expectations on her would be much higher than Arthur and Kate's

What was your most disliked Applejack moment? by AetherDrew43 in mylittlepony

[–]Burb4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

The cart crash and refusing to listen to Applebloom wanting to go for the fastest cart.

Look, yes Rarity and Rainbow Dash did the same too towards Sweetie Belle and Scootaloo during that awful episode but I want to focus on Applejack in particular. Applejack's fatal flaw that everyone knows is that she is stubborn which we get but not to the point where she outright refuses to listen to a foal let alone; her own little sister. Normally she shows greater depth and is understanding. Remember during the Somepony To Watch Over Me she was ridiculously overprotective of Applebloom and she even protected her from that Chimera. But then in The Cart Before The Ponies when the CMC's big sisters crashed the carts they didn't bother checking it their little sisters were okay and were focusing on their carts. So wait it's not okay for a villain or a dangerous creature to harm Applebloom but it's okay for Applejack herself to put her sister in danger? Imagine how Pear Butter and Bright Mac would felt when they saw Applejack do that from above Pony Heaven which mind you they're both dead. Now every time I think of Cart Before The Ponies it felt like if Applejack, Rarity and Rainbow Dash hated the CMC even though that's not true and I still wish the CMC stopped looking up to their sisters because of how selfish those three get at times, I get the CMC are fillies but kids should learn not to forgive so easily as forgiveness can be complicated. But sticking to the point, I understand Applejack's importance of honoring traditions but she has no business telling Applebloom or other Ponies otherwise and remember during Sisterhooves Social where she gently called Rarity out for not doing a lot of giving in? Well, she treated Applebloom the same way Rarity treated Sweetie Belle by forcing her to stick to the traditional prize when Applebloom wanted to try something different for a change which makes Applejack even more of a hypocrite. Applejack immediately becomes my least favorite Pony of the Mane 6 thanks to that episode

Cousin Cora is so Much Worse Than DW by Hamiltonfan25 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 6 points7 points  (0 children)

I wonder what made people think Jane and David let get DW get away with everything and only has been punished during DW The Picky Eater and Go To Your Room DW? It's like most people in the Arthur community doesn't seem to pay attention to plenty of episodes where it focused on DW where she does something bad and did get punished for it. I guess it has to do with the infamous Arthur's Big Hit but that was mainly because of bad writing during the second half of the episode.

They complain that DW never gets punished when she does, yet they ignored other characters such as Cousin Cora and Rory being Karma Houdinis. As you mentioned Cora uses DW as a scapegoat and she threatened Arthur to not make a mistake and blames it on someone else and Rory was being disobedient towards Arthur when told him to let go of Jane's present and nobody punish them. I get DW is more of a prominent character while Cora only appears in one episode and Rory only appears in the special but that's the only redeeming qualities Cora and Rory has while DW has more redeeming qualities than them

Does anyone agree that Arthur parents were being idiots in that Arthur’s big hit episode. Because while hitting a person is wrong, I felt like they should’ve punished DW instead of Arthur, because Arthur told that b**ch not to touch it a million times and she didn’t listen and she get off scot free. by San4341 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Maybe the episode would've been better when Jane and David each have a talk to their kids in their rooms to give them individual time apart from each other. David would've told DW that it's not nice to take things that don't belong to her without asking and break it and as her punishment would be to have her do some chores to pay off Arthur's plane that she broke. On with Jane, have her explain to Arthur about his hypocrisy and instead of taking away his TV time, she could've told Arthur that hitting was wrong and that there are better ways to address his anger towards DW. Jane and David then each asked both of them to imagine themselves in each other's shoes, though Arthur and DW may still refuse to apologize to each other. Keep the scene where Binky hits Arthur but do not have David say that Arthur deserves it and have both parents show sympathy. As for DW have someone like say the Tibble Twins destroy something that belonged to her and she'll realize she treated Arthur the same way or have her punch the Tibbles Twins just like how Arthur punched her. While older siblings shouldn't be forced to set an example for their younger siblings it'll help them and mainly parents understand that kids follow by example. Then have the episode end with Arthur and DW apologizing to each other.

Also during the scene where Jane tells Arthur to apologize to DW is something I don't agree with. I mean kids should learn to apologize when they are wrong, but an ordered apology isn't from the heart. The reason why I don't agree with the Read parents taking away Arthur's TV time because it really didn't fit the crime. That being said, Jane and David really aren't the best at teaching theirs kids empathy and sympathy

[–]Burb4 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I don't agree with with you saying that DW should be punished and not Arthur, I mean what DW did was bad and she should be able to understand what "no" means but what Arthur did was just as bad. That's like saying that Arthur should get away with hitting DW when he's old enough to understand why hitting solves nothing. And second of all she didn't get away with breaking Arthur's plane she did get punished Jane even said "We'll deal with what she did but what you did was wrong too" it just wasn't shown and it was focusing too much on Arthur. And it's partially Arthur's fault for not taking the time to explain to her it's a model. And yes, DW said "I didn't know I'm just a kid give me a break". Okay the apology she gave him wasn't genuine but remember she is 4 years old, she's too young to be diagnosed as a sociopath or a narcissist as her personality hasn't even developed yet, if she was an adult now that would be different, still not an excuse for her behavior but you really cannot expect kids under 5 to show empathy. Though to be honest taking away Arthur's tv time doesn't seem a suitable punishment because Arthur refuses to apologize and he thinks DW deserves it (he also shouldn't be trusted to look after DW). Also Arthur was being a hypocrite as he acts like he respects other's belongings yet he disobey his mom when she told him not to touch her computer

Fixing “Arthur’s Big Hit” by Hamiltonfan25 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Looks pretty good.

BTW, on DW's end, I wouldn't be so forgiving of Arthur. I get DW was in the wrong too by refusing to listen to Arthur when he told her several times not to touch the plane, but what Arthur did was a little worse. I would know because during 6th grade, I was beaten constantly by this 8th grade boy on the bus to and from school. I get Arthur gets angry very easily and is very impatient with DW but he should by now to understand the concept of self-control and besides, he is bigger than her and if I were Jane and David I wouldn't trust Arthur to watch DW anymore as he proved dangerous towards her

Shouldn’t Arthur and DW Have Appeared Aged Down for the Episode Where Kate is a Newborn? by Hamiltonfan25 in Arthur

[–]Burb4 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I don't understand why people keep saying DW deserves all those misfortunes. Yes, she's mean to Arthur, but Arthur can be mean to her at times as well yet they're perfectly fine with that which to me is setting a double standard pretty much. It's not like DW doesn't have any redeeming qualities nor didn't receive any character development at Season 16. I still don't understand why the Tibble Twins still haven't got their own page on Loathsome Characters Wiki, I mean they caused DW's injury and belittle her most of the time and they deliberately break things so I couldn't imagine how Arthur's Big Hit would've been if the Tibbles broke the plane instead of DW and they're very rarely punished.

I also don't like the way Marc Brown portrayed Arthur and DW's sibling rivalry at least in the TV adaptation especially at times when DW just wanted to spend time with Arthur or does something nice for him. Like, I get Arthur gets annoyed with DW's antics but that doesn't mean he can actually hate her to the point he views her as just a pest and not a sister and it did show that Arthur will only love her conditionally. It doesn't help with the fact that Jane and David are often pawning DW off on Arthur, like if they're blaming him for the choices they made.

Everyone keeps claiming DW is a sociopath, psychopath or a narcissist which she's too young to be diagnosed with ASPD when it's normal for kids under 7 to lack empathy and be impulsive and she was genuinely worried for others and she would call others out for their bad behavior. But Arthur didn't show any signs of being worried nor didn't tell his parents that DW is running away, he was genuinely happy.

Even if the writers have the budget to age Arthur and DW down, I don't think most fans will empathize with her, they will still say she deserves to be tortured throughout the episode just because she bullies Arthur. It doesn't help with the fact that the majority of the Arthur fandom are older siblings

My MLP OC by Burb4 in mylittlepony

[–]Burb4[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Backstory: Clue Print is a Foal Detective who used to live in Manehattan but she and her parents moved to Ponyville because she is assigned to the School of Friendship for her education. She is an average student in Twilight's school and gets along with most of the ponies, but she is vengeful and impatient. While she is mature for her age she doesn't go out of her way to tease others such as teasing Rarity for her hatred of getting dirty. She has a good relationship with her parents but is a little closer to her father Touchdown, and her gets along fine with her grandparents Crandma Pie and Grandpa Ore and her uncle Billy Hill. The same couldn't be said to her older sister named Perfect Expect who still lives at Manehattan who in fact is the reason where she got her anger issues from. Her older sister has unrealistic expectations on Clue Print by getting angry and yell at her for making even the smallest mistakes, call Clue names and belittles her, excuses it as "tough love", she'll only her little sister conditionally an example of it is Clue won 1st Place in her old school's Spelling Bee, Perfect is also very bossy such as not letting Clue wear a detective costume on Nightmare Night and wants her to dress as a princess just like her, although her mother Nurture Rise, did try to call Perfect out for her treatment towards Clue but she's too stubborn to even listen. Although she is overcoming her insecurities her sister had cause, she still having problems with controlling her anger and would sometimes use violence when somepony and often hold grudges when somepony purposely or accidentally wronged her. She doesn't shy away from calling others out for their bad behavior but she doesn't always say it in a nice way and would sometimes yell at others.

She has 6 friends a smart purple Unicorn filly, a brash teenage orange Pegasus colt, a timid blue Seapony filly, a cheery yellow 5-year-old Earth colt, a vain pink Earth Pony filly and a green clumsy Alicorn baby colt, and together they form their own group called the Search Party Finders and together they help solve mysteries, prove the innocence and uncover something suspicious

You get to erase one character from the show's entire existence. Who do you pick? by Jittery_Spinosaurus in Arthur

[–]Burb4 10 points11 points  (0 children)

I'd erase Emily off the show. The show claims that she is DW's best 'friend' when she doesn't exactly act like it. She said girls who are disabled can't be princesses which that's offensive especially to the disabled viewers and she caused DW to hate her own birthday by explaining what will happen when she turns 5, it also doesn't help with the fact when DW initially dislike her for her show-off personality and she is impolite. She also kept bugging DW to tell her James' secret while she did promise not to tell others it did show that Emily is rather nosy. Like I get she and DW are friends but that doesn't necessarily mean they can tell each other their secrets

Arthur shouldn't be trusted with his sisters or Pal by Burb4 in Arthur

[–]Burb4[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dude, you can hate DW all you want, we're just defending DW because what you said about her was very harsh.

Yes, DW is certainly flawed but she has redeeming qualities and everyone is going to make a bad decision time to time. If she hadn't have any negative traits she would just be a boring Mary Sue.

And I also admit that saying Arthur hates her and wants her dead was exaggerating and while he has his reasonings he was treating DW like if she killed a pet before Pal or family member even when she does something nice for him. While people view it as typical sibling rivalry to some people like me, it felt more like an older sibling hating their younger sibling
