  Thank goodness I’m not the only one who feels this way. Even as a “forgettable” person, I couldn’t connect to Wall Flower. There’s a difference between people treating you like you’re invisible out of disrespect vs just not knowing you personally.

  .....so she erases HERSELF from peoples memory.... then complains no one notices her, takes it out on a person who has worked hard to better themself because that person didnt notice her?

  I've hated her for yearsss she was like a unfinished story with so much potential. in all honesty i thought her plot would be so much better if she was a victim of sunsets bullying from before and was lashing out because she was alone and had no support, THEN started wiping sunsets memories as a semi revenge to plan for a way bigger actual revenge. then the ending could be "mean people can change, and aren't just terrible all they're lives" that would be a way better plot in my opinion U_U

  She would’ve been better if she was actually bullied by sunset, and have sunset apologize to people she’s bullied but sunset forgets about her, and then sunset is like, “Have we met before?” and then she’s like, “…yeah…you used to bully me…?” and have sunset give some half-ass awkward apology unlike all the other apologies she had given that day and pass few days.

  Love how trixie in this special went from "me me me, i'm cool and a Legend" to "screw me, i'll help sunset"

  I'd of understood better if Wallflower Blush had been bullied relentlessly or been targetted in some way by Sunset that ruined some part of life- like made her an outcast, seen as the "weird kid", then she found this rock after the thing at fall formal and once Sunset's reputation begins to improve she uses it against her, but in the mean time to learn how to use it, she gets rid of awkward situations or removed all the bad things Sunset spread about her. After all, Sunset's influence was quite impactful- She got the mane 5 to think that each other of them did something wrong to the other. Then the plot of the movie happens! No one, not even Sunset remembers her because she removed impactful memories that would likely not be forgotten, but she's mad because Sunset who ruined her life, has a wonderful set of friends and her reputation is better. This backstory would've made the reason for making everyone remember Sunset as the mean girl she used to be much more meaningful- at least as a reason to do it. This would explain that she isn't just forgotten because she kept removing the memories of people she had awkward or undesirable interactions with, but was lonely before she found the stone due to being basically ruined by Sunset. At the end of the move, Sunset apologises for what she did (finding out via her abity) and for isolating Wallflower from people then either her or Trixy offers their friendship AND then Wallflower apologises for removing the good memories of Sunset instead of just talking to her and since the artifact is destroyed, the memories from Sunset ruining Wallflower's image are restored, so Sunset helps Wallflower restore the reputation she destroyed.

  &quot;I know I intentionally used magic to permanently erase everyone&apos;s memories of me BUT WHY DOES NO ONE REMEMBER ME????&quot;<br><br>Wallflower Blush had the potential to be an interesting character, someone who didn&apos;t forgive Sunset for bullying her despite how much she&apos;s changed. Someone who blended into the crowd so much that Sunset never approached her to personally apologise, and the knowledge that she was forgotten about made the grudge Wallflower held stronger over time. Even a completely redeemed Sunset &quot;Element of Empathy&quot; Shimmer couldn&apos;t be bothered to remember her. She feels like the only person who hasn&apos;t forgiven Sunset because she never even received an apology from her. Her shyness isn&apos;t the only thing keeping her from making friends, it&apos;s also the fact that everyone around her loves Sunset and her friends and gushes over them for always saving the world with the magic of friendship, magic a ruthless bully like Sunset didn&apos;t deserve to wield. Finally having the courage to confront Sunset in person only to be treated like a complete stranger and forgotten about <i>again</i> is what triggers Wallflower to erase her friends&apos; memories. It could be interesting to explore a character who <i>didn&apos;t</i> instantly forgive the redeemed villain even after they helped to save the world, needing a face-to-face apology and genuine connection to separate the person they are now from who they used to be.<br><br>This way the message of &quot;Sometimes it&apos;s not enough to just not be mean to people, you need to show genuine kindness too&quot; could actually be a lesson Sunset needs to learn. It didn&apos;t work in the special because she couldn&apos;t remember to be kind to someone who purposefully magically erased all her memories of them, but with much better writing it could be a unique lesson for a redeemed villain on this show. Sunset&apos;s been redeemed for so long that she may have stopped going out of her way to be kind, believing that she&apos;s been forgiven by everyone who knew her as a bully and didn&apos;t need to prove herself anymore. She doesn&apos;t make as much of an effort to sit next to someone who looks lonely, she already has a big group of friends waiting for her. Sunset spends so much time with her incredibly close and practically soul-bonded friendship group that, even with her Empathy powers, she doesn&apos;t always notice when others feel the same loneliness she once did.<br><br>Saving the world definitely helps her look like a hero, but a private apology to someone you hurt shows that you respect them as an individual. That&apos;s exactly what Wallflower needed, Sunset reaching out would prove to her that she was worth remembering. A character as beloved both in universe and by the fandom as Sunset Shimmer learning that sometimes forgiveness isn&apos;t earned by one big gesture (even if that gesture is saving the world) and instead earned by saying/doing things that personally mean something to the ones you&apos;ve hurt. Even if you don&apos;t know them very well, making the effort to get to know them will prove that you&apos;re truly sorry. Forgiveness isn&apos;t always instant and that person isn&apos;t always going to become your best friend afterwards, but you should still try to make amends to give them and even yourself closure.<br><br>Have Wallflower&apos;s breakdown be more serious, tell us that Sunset&apos;s bullying gave her very low self-esteem to the point where she shut herself away from her peers out of fear that anyone she grew close to would be annoyed by her shyness and eventually forget about her. Like a more intense Moondancer, given that Sunset was actively cruel to those around her while Twilight just wasn&apos;t interested in friendship. If you want to bring up the concept of Sunset not being forgiven by everyone she used to bully, do something compelling with it instead of making the antagonist extremely petty and stupid enough to be mad at Sunset for forgetting her when she literally admits to purposefully erasing every single interaction she&apos;s ever had with not only Sunset but everyone else. And then not even having someone state the obvious that her problem was her own fault.<br><br>As someone who&apos;s always been really shy and struggled to make friends, it&apos;s really disappointing that Wallflower Blush is the representation of shy kids who, unlike Fluttershy, don&apos;t magically end up in a big friend group who always want to include you and never make you feel like no one would notice if you disappeared. Maybe the memory stone is supposed to be an allegory for people who crave connection but never put themselves out there and end up stuck in a self-hating cycle, but Wallflower literally could&apos;ve just been like that. She could still lash out at Sunset for being the main reason she had low self-esteem, but at least have her acknowledge her own part in her misery when it&apos;s something as blatant as deliberately making everyone forget about her and then getting mad that everyone forgot about her.<br><br>I hate Wallflower so much.

  I AGREE SO MUCH. Girl literally created her own problems and then lashed out at EVERYONE ELSE INSTEAD OF HERSELF. So frustrating to watch
