making the yiga clan more "threatening" in fanworks often annoys me, because it's usually not coming from an interest in taking them seriously or as a cult with a clear set of beliefs it's just to make them more "evil" (and honestly generic)

Just throwing a thought out there, there's a lot of allusions to fontaine already being sunk which got me thinking its like a giant veluyiram mirage, fontaine is "real" but not really real
Perhaps the indemnitium is collected for something akin to how the end of bottleland event with the shinrou casket
Just like the wishes, the oratrice collected the people's belief in justice over time to be used for something

Honestly, considering we know ponies like Troubleshoes where they see their cutiemark as a burden and can even lead to trouble for them (at least until the CMC helped him anyway), it really is a missed opportunity to not have more ponies like him in Our Town. Like yeah, Party Favor and Sugarbelle are nice and all, but what about say, a unicorn with a cutiemark in being a gardener coming to resent it because they were mocked for having an "earth pony" profession? An earth pony with a fashion related cutiemark who struggled because they couldn't make new designs as fast as their unicorn peers? Idk, it'd just be nice for her to use ponies actual insecurities against them- correct me if I'm wrong but we never learn the why of how the Our Town ponies joined, do we?
Maybe in the comics? i definitely know the show didn't touch on it. Which is a shame, might've made an interesting Starlight-townsfolk reconciliation episode if we got a glimpse of why they came.
I think the whole thing about "equality" was what the show tried to push as the key factor. but like. cutie marks don't automatically make you good at something. It's shown in the show that it requires work (and personal enjoyment in your mark) to really get the most of it. But the show makes it clear that this ideology is hypocritical and incorrect, and so is Starlight.
I definitely like the idea of it being compromised of ponies who are unhappy at their marks or confused by them. I think the tiny town was compromised of unhappy ponies who Starlight managed to isolate and preach to. Would be very interesting if we got some backstory on them, but I wonder if that might be too depressing or "dark" (for lack of a better word) for the generation. For now, hc's ahoy!

sorry i have way too many good things to talk about with this little gremlin brother of mine sjdjdhhsjejkekjdkss
ok you see this volume cover yeah? (aside from me punching a wall over how everyone's in here together) it gives a good taste of how every dexholder uses fly on their 'mon - i won't go into detail about how each kid got their 'mon but the way they were picked up on is really unique from the others.
red has an aerodactyl (mf carries red like a baby)
blue has a charizard (the most practical way to fly a pokemon ig),
green has a jigglypuff (which! actually is just a balloon with helium iirc, and she doesn't like flying types - again, won't explain why but each kid has a good reason for their preference),
yellow (pokespe-exclusive dexholder! very sweet kid) has a butterfree (makes yellow look like a cute fairy which is so adorable),
silver has a murkrow (probably the most badass one, look at how silver poses)
crystal has a natu (looks a little funny how this round ass bird can carry her but I respect that)
and here's gold....
okay. okay
"jil isn't mantine a part flying type there's nothing wrong"
YEAH BUT LIKE THIS IS THE MOST UNNATURAL WAY TO FLY - GOLD LITERALLY MADE A MAKESHIFT GLIDER WITH A DAMN MANTINE WITH REMORAIDS TO HOLD DOWN HIS CUE STICK AND HE FLIES THEM LIKE SO ARGAHRIAA THIS GOOFYASS I LITERALLY CANT WITH HIM I LOVE HIM SO MUCH YOU DONT UNDERSTAND /P 🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️🗣️
EVEN BETTER THAT THESE REMORAIDS ARE LIKE THE GUNS OF THE OCEAN SO THEY JUST. SPIT WATER. gold has a fucking shooting glider isn't that the most terrifying thing this kid could come up with - isn't he like ELEVEN YEARS OLD OR SOMETHING. he really said work smarter not harder though he definitely pulled this one out of his ass and by sheer luck was able to decide on this
the thing that really cements this is the actual dynamic between mantines and remoraids, it's like how certain species of fish has a beneficial relationship with larger animals like sharks (scrapping for leftovers on the bigger animal) and it's most definitely applicable with the mantine and remoraid, they have a commensalism relationship. thank you science for teaching me that gotdamn.....

not "they did nothing wrong" or "they are a horrible bastard" but a secret third thing: they did things wrong and I like that about them but everyone over-exaggerates their negative impact on the story

Fuck the Glider.
I want Belfast to have a tram network!
The glider is a shitty half-measure.
*plus it reminds me of my old job from which I was sacked*
