Genuinely Scootaloo's dad being Australian explained her name in the easiest way possible. I mean pony names are either one or two words relating to their special interest, I know Scootaloo's thing is scooters but it still feels weird right?

But hearing her dad say her name? Clicked, made sense right away why she wasn't named Wobble Wing or Stunt Chaser or whatever...Ramp Runt.

>>42264236 (OP)
id ramp that runt iykwim

>>42264236 (OP)
Explain her mother's name then.
Also, are her wings stunted because her father or mother has a specific genetic trait, or is it just randomly specific to Scootaloo? I don't recall seeing other pegasi with small wings other than her.
Even as a mare she has tiny wings

God they suck so fucking bad.
Imagine being such bad parents people would prefer if your kid was an orphan.

>>42264236 (OP)
Not canon.

>>42264271
It's just an unfortunate birth defect. Bad luck (or destiny, depending on who you ask).

I do not acknowledge the last crusade

>>42264236 (OP)
Seeing Scootaloo with parents feels wrong

>>42264236 (OP)
idgi

>>42264236 (OP)
If her dad was really an Aussie he'd have named her Scootacunt.

>>42264331
So the average 4channer is her dad?

>>42264277

Imagine you're globe trotting (heh, trotting) adventure ponies, you do the kind of stuff Daring Do does, but instead of looking for artefacts you're specifically there to put Ahuizotl in a headlock. Then you have to get back to camp to bang your thin tall blonde wife.

You get back to camp then...Oh...another letter from my disabled kid...

Don't lie, you'd ditch her too.

>>42264271
She's Allgood.

>>42264355
>ditching your kid for poon
brown hands typed this post.

>>42264360
It builds character.

Here's a question, which is worse? Scootaloo living with her two aunts or her parents?

inb4 homeless.

>>42264236 (OP)
>he literally named her for the first thing he saw that was lying around the room before walking out on her
>she convinced herself that if she kept practicing on the scooter and got really good at it then one day her parents would come home

>>42264374
The aunts are less objectively terrible. Apart from being dykes and the fact that they live like two towns over, they at least occasionally visit her and check in on her.

>>42264374
Scootaloo lives with her friends and alternates every other day or week.

>>42264271
>I don't recall seeing other pegasi with small wings other than her.

>>42264374
Living with her parents. At least her lezzie aunts were a constant source of support, even if it was never shown before that episode.

>>42264236 (OP)
I wish I had very successful parents that were eager to nepo me into their profession.

Reminder that Scootaloo was condemned to eternal suffering by the writers.
>confirm Scoots is 100% permanently disabled
>confirm that she does in fact have parents, but they don't love her or care about her
>confirm that she does have family, but they also don't care about her
>confirm that her career is not something cool but in fact that she's stuck being a teacher at Twilight's school of diversity and pony apologists
>also imply her idol might end up a childless dyke with no nieces or nephews for Scoot to look after

I love my disabled homeless Australian wife

Scootaloo is homeless, I don't give a fuck what retcons happened later on. She is homeless and has no family that cares about her. Her only hope is that eventually, Rainbow Dash might adopt her, but it won't ever happen because Rainbow Dash knows she doesn't have motherhood in her.

>>42264409
I forgot about Bulk. So there are at least two cases of pegasi with tiny wings. But one of them can fly and the other can't, which means it's not the same condition. You could argue that Bulk "trains" more, but Scootaloo is anything but sedentary, so I don't think it's a matter of training harder.
Are Bulk's parents known, or does he have any canon relatives?

Her mum and dad really think they can just walk back into her life and take her after being away for 9 years (not counting if they were away before season one but its assumed) like fuck off dashie cares and loves her more then they ever could

>>42264471
I don't like this interpretation. I think it's way cuter to imagine >>42264407 and have her staying over at her friends' houses all the time.

>>42264236 (OP)
Ponies squeak their names after they are born like Pokémon and that is how parents name their children.

>>42264331
nah we'd have called her Scuntaloo

>>42264236 (OP)

>>42264271
I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be a disability. Its honestly a lot more intelligent and compelling to put in a disabled pony like that, instead of
>Wheelchair + vitiligo

>Scootaloo with an Australian accent
Y/N

>>42264413
>constant source of support,
not what the episode with RDs parents implies

>>42265227
>RDs parents
They are just chuds that don't approve of a lesbian couple

>>42264433
Her idol can just take her in and adopt her

>>42265311
He means the episode itself, Scootaloo says something like "I'd love to have parents that do that, because growing up nobody ever encouraged me or told me I matter"

>>42264433
Look on the bright side Anon, she's not Sweetie Bell!

>>42265043
Hasn't she suffered enough?

>>42265910
Sweetie Belle is living a nice life with her highly successful fashion designer mother.

>>42264707
That's literally what they said happens though. She gets passed between babysitters.

>>42265953
>>42265909
What the fuck
Did they not realize they were writing her to have a shitty unstable life

>>42265973
I think it was more that they weren't comfortable having a homeless orphan in Celestia's utopia

Reminder that Scoot's mom, Mane Allgood is clearly inspired by Jane Goodall. This means that she's one of the few ponies who would canonically be extremely interested in Humans. She would actively try to be accepted into our society.

Would you accept her?

>>42266032
Built for violent >rape

>>42266032
No because she's a shitty parent and Australian

>>42266026
Applejack and Apple Bloom are both orphans, why the fuck were they so allergic to Scootaloo being one too? The fandom accepted that she was one long before these two Australian cunts were even conceptualized. They could've just said she lived with her aunts instead of dedicating an entire episode to her life being much shitter than anybody expected.

>>42266591
But Anon, have you considered Scootaloo not just being disabled, but also neglected is funnier than having "another orphan"?

>>42264331
Scuntaloo

>>42266606
At least Dash apparently regularly takes care of her.

>>42266660
>Dash is the one taking care of her most of the time
>And is there for her cutie mark and every other major event in her life
>Parents aren't even there for her carrying the flag in the ponlympics
Why not just have her adopt her, not like you don't already have a mane cast member that adopted a kid.

>>42266660
It's amazing how Scootaloo can be an orphan, neglected by her parents, a military brat, and raised by lesbians, all at once. It's like she rolled a dozen dice with them all somehow landing on one.

>>42266698
>a military brat
the wonderbolts are a gay stunt team. nothing about them is military

>>42266862
>Generals
>Reserves
Anon, calling the Air Force a "Gay Stunt team" is harsh, true, but harsh.

>>42266862
And can you explain what is so "military" about females in earth military

>>42266862
They're horse Blue Angels, their main purpose is to get impressionable racist pegasi to sign up for Her Highness' glorious military.

>>42266698
But what is ultimately the best choice for her?

>>42266982

>>42266916
>15 minutes later, Soarin cums inside Rainbow Dash

>>42266982
I actually think the episode had a pretty shit moral lesson in its conclusion. It was already Season 8 or 9, they could've legitimately done a moving away episode because the writing was on the wall for the series as a whole at that point.

I know it was already partially done in Babs Seed, but I think the lesson could've been an earnest "You can move away, while maintaining connections. But it's important to try new experiences that can give you a chance to learn or grow." Because I think that's way more important to kids, because for kids moving away can be scary, but necessary for a family. It's also way more true that you can stay friends since I'm pretty sure every kid had a smartphone by then, no more letters like Babs got. I know Scootaloo was stuck between two (or more) people who genuinely cared for her, the CMC, her parents, even the aunts. Even if we didn't see much of the connection she had with her parents in a wider sense in the episode it's definitely love, a hard choice between the two, not like she's just being dragged away by people who don't care. Keeping Scootaloo around meant what? They could do the stupid wishing plant episode? Having Scootaloo stay in a place where she's comfortable kind of goes against the CMC's goals anyway doesn't it? Both the original trying new things CMC as well as the helping ponies get their Cutie Marks. I think it could've been a chance to show us Scootaloo as strong, besides, they could still ship her back in for a visit, talk about cool adventures.

Then instead of the wishing plant episode her moving back could open up an episode with the moral "How to properly process when you feel like your friends are maturing while you're not", Apple Bloom or Sweetie Belle getting jealous at Scootaloo, which is more fertile ground for a story. Or they could do another growing apart, friends with different interests trying to relearn why they're friends episode like they were so fond of.

>>42266977
Imagine being a young pony looking at your Wonderbolts Calendar to see them in their tight flightsuits. Seeing them really stretch their wings, bend down, ready to take off.

>>42267075
>still keep getting made because literally nobody anywhere likes her parents

>>42267065
That'd work if her parents weren't neglectful shitheads. Why was Sombra the catalyst for moving her out of ponyville and not every other fucking threat?

>>42267088
Scootaloo's dad genuinely doesn't see bugbear attacks or timberwolves or the encroaching Everfree forest as a threat because he spent too much time in the wilderness.

>>42267103
Okay but what about discord, nightmare moon, the fucking storm king, tirek, etc

>>42267075
Nobody watched season 9 stupid

>>42264236 (OP)
Question: If Snap Shutter is Australian, then why doesn’t Scootaloo have the same accent?

>>42267117
Because they aren't around to raise her

>>42266698
Scootaloo always reminded me of Dewey from Malcolm in the Middle. I think theres an exact meme image of her drawn to say his classic "I expect nothing and I'm still let down." Both Dewey and Scoots always got the short end of the stick when it came to life, constantly being put down by life or circumstances outside their control. Scootaloo is much far worse off than Dewey is though, who will end up rich and a successful musician.

>>42266982
if Dash can raise a turtle she can raise a disabled special needs child.

>>42267104
I hate to say it, because Ponyville, Canterlot, or the Crystal Empire are the places we see attacked all the time. But living under the gaze of a demigod princess means you don't really need to worry about those threats, either they're dealt with or 1000 years of slavery. Scootaloo's parents left her originally in a small village outside the Greater Canterlot Area, which was a safe sleepy place that, by chance turned into the Diplomatic hub of Equestria which was also probably the best defended place in the nation outside the Royal Palace.

>>42267152
Feed your damn disabled child, please

>>42267153
She's got to have survival skills if she has any hope of continuing the family biz mate. Even if she doesn't she literally hangs out all day on an apple farm with her friends, one of which farms the apples.
