Derpy used to be the best of the best, what happened?
Pandering. It was all just made up.
maybe she was doping to be the best, but she over did it and it caused nervous system damage
>>30041246
Deees
>>30041236
This is so sad. At least it's really sweet to see that she never loses her smile.
>>30041236
its more surprising that Spitfire got BTFO by lightning dust.
>>30041333
even after people throw pizza boxes at her
I really, really wanna fuck filly Spitfire. And hug, also hug her. Jesus Christ she's cute.
>>30041236
she got too cocky
or maybe she just had some bad luck with biology. she's clearly happy just to participate, so I guess it's all good in the end.
Anybody wonder why Lightning Dust and Rainbow Dash didn't become wonderbolts with the rest of their them? Or was it just because they were in a lower class?
>>30041236
What happened?
Dude, look at the image.
Derpy's eyes used to be 100% 20/20. As the image goes on, her eyes get more and more fucked.
She used to have perfect vision, and was a flight prodigy. But her Vision basically went to shit as she got older, and that ruined her flight career.
This is why she was in the hospital in Where the apple lies, just to keep herself from going COMPLETELY blind.
>>30041401
Or you're looking too far into this and it's just more "haha look derpy has wacky eyes lmao xddd" pandering
>>30041236
She was never the same after the accident that killed her parents and permanently damaged her eyes. The failed surgery didn't help either.
>>30041364
No, I've been asking that question sinceI first saw this. Why in the world are Spitfire and her crew the same age as Rainbow Dash?
>>30041401
No, she just needed a good fucking like the rest of the Fillies. You see her father wasent around to give her cock so she got a bad case of lazy eyes.
Most of the other Mares and Fillies are accustomed to nice fuckings. But since her father wasent around she never tried and couldn't find a man to help her since she was embarresed. You can see through the series some of the mares and Fillies get fucked up eyes but that cause they just need a fucking. It makes a lot of sense, Apple jack actually relies on Big Mac in this case.
>>30041436
They are not, but they didn't have different models to show that they weren't the same age.
>>30041335
Lightning Dust? Spitfire was still getting BTFO by progressively derpier Derpy.
How shit do you have to be?
>>30041236
After winning that first race, she hit a brick wall at full speed during the second one and had a hard time improving allowing the others to surpass her skill level. That's when her eyes fucked up.
>>30041436
Oh shit, you're right! Hah, fucking suck it dude who said Spitfire was 40+! Suck it! My waifu is canonically in her twenties! Haha!
>>30041436
>Why in the world are Spitfire and her crew the same age as Rainbow Dash?
They aren't though, dash said she was the youngest. She could be about 3-4 years younger.
>>30041414
Then why aren't her eyes fucked in the first shot?
>>30041436
she's younger. she was considered good enough to compete with the older kids. That's why she wasn't winning right away. This is stated in the episode by Dash when she's telling the story.
>>30041436
>>30041460
Rainbow dash said she was advanced from junior fliers up a grade, so she is at least a year younger, and I'm guessing lighting dust is the same.
And I vaguely remember back in season 1 or 2 hearing that dash ended up dropping out of flight school for whatever reason.
>>30041364
Too young. You don't stuff little kids, no matter how gifted into a program designed for older ponies. Dash was still young enough to get Best Young Flier in a national-level competition living in Ponyville, after all, and being a flight school dropout probably didn't put her high on the ranks of Wonderbolt material until all of the heroics as the Element of Loyalty.
>>30041490
That would imply that Lightning Dust also did something to cause her to drop out of school too, which actually makes perfect sense. I hope we get to see more of lightning dust in the future.
>>30041537
I still headcanon that LD's granddad is Wind rider.
>>30041460
>Not wanting an older, mature waifu
Kill yourself.
>>30041568
Rainbow Dash's mom is pretty hot and she would probably cheer me on during sex even if I was really bad.
>>30041592
I can't name a single ponies mom who isn't hot. Twilight's mom is hot, Fluttershy's mom is hot, and now Rainbow's mom is hot.
>>30041614
Rarity's is a fatass.

One more reason to love my waifu who ruins everything.
Has the derpsters been in each episode this season so far? Are they bringing that back again, making her the easter egg bg pony?
>>30041236
I know Dash was in the age group above what she was meant to be but it still amazes me that spitfire is that close to her age.
Is her cutiemark bubbles because she's always bubbly and happy?
How am I just realizing this
>>30042136
More like random pairing of assets: gray mare + random qtmark
New ponies hit the scene. I mean what did you expect.
Wasn't she a flyer in equestria games? She must still be pretty capable.
>>30041236
Lightning Dust must have been a massive cunt putting everyone else in the air at risk when she was a filly as well.
>>30042199
She's probably still a fairly strong flier. I'd imagine she'd have been a really good long distance flier
>>30042236
She was portrayed that way in one of those bad comics.
>>30042199
She was a great flyer in FF#36 (>inb4 "the comics aren't canon"). Ignore the massive autism in the pic, I think that it was a really nice comic, I'm just to lazy to crop the panels myself.
>>30042199
Far as I know she is only clumsy from a lack of eye to hoof coordination.
>>30041236
>derp eyes getting progressively more derpy as she slinks further down the ranking
Damn
>>30041236
My poor Derpyhooves ;_;
>>30042298
Considering she still maintained a rank above participation with that handicap must mean she was a really good flier. Possibly rainboom capable.
>>30042329
>Possibly rainboom capable.
Nah rainboom is a speed effect. Derp eyes would not fuck her speed.
>>30042352
So what makes a good flier ?
There's speed of course , then there's stamina , endurance, coordination and finally style . Which areas would our girl dominate in ?
>>30042363
She is a mailmare so she must be able to go huge distances. Maybe that is why she got worse. Her speed was not the best but she had good stamina for her age. As the kids grew up and got better stamina those who could sprint faster started to win because they were all able to sprint the whole course instead of only derpy doing it.
She could likely still dominate a marathon.
>>30042272
>Current year arguement in 2017
The comic looks well drawn but the comic lore isn't important as the show it's based on. Unless that autist wants to sit there and tell me how the mario and luigi ponies are relevant to the elements of harmony comic#XX outside of being a videogame parody. I don't really follow them but he probably should of worked it out from the first two comic arcs that not everything would be clear between Hasbro and IDW.
Here I could make the argument that Derpy does many Deliveries so she has the experience to overcome such harsh weather conditions while the others train in cloudsdale or wherever they have better control over the local weather. It's that easy to fill this plothole. Also the other mail pony a shit.
>>30042326
She does it for free
>>30042272
I have never seen such RRRREEE.
>>30042748
It's so overly exaggerated that some people in the Storytime thread thought that it was ironic, to laugh at the people who is too nitpicky. I refuse to believe that someone can write something like this seriously.

>I refuse to believe that someone can write something like this seriously.

>>30041236
She had a very bad accident and suffered brain damaged. Maybe one of her eyes are fake.
>>30042272
He can't be serious, right? He can't not see the mail service joke there, right?
Right?
This is now a derp lore thread. What do we know about this mysterious pony? We know shes a bit older then dash, i guestimate at around 5~ years older, and that at a point she was a darn good flier compared to soarin, spitfire and dash before she got good. We also know that shes been to the hospital for an eye related problem. She can also fit in snowglobes

The Watsonian answer
>>30042142
The Doylist answer
>>30042272
Just proves that Derpy kicks ass in many ways.
>>30043135
I have always preferred the idea that mentally she is fine. Just has fucked up eyesight and maybe a little extra clumsyness above that.
>>30043135
No she's probably farsighted now: she can see far away which lets her go on long distance flights to deliver packages, but fuck at close ranges she can't see the Poles on the flying courses to weave between them anymore.
>>30041236
>>30042272
>>comics not canon
Watch filly Soarin' in this. It sorta matches the comic at least. Not a failure, but he wasn't improving from his position either.
>>30047983
>>filly
I mean colt. He was the only male on the pedestal anyway.
>>30042363
She's pretty damn strong for a pegasus, and stamina besides. She finds getting struck by lightning entertaining. And her weather senses are A++ as far as navigating stuff that would challenge most Wonderbolts.
Derpy is special, and not just in the terms of "special snowflake". Bubbles keep rising and so does she.
