Why is she so poor?

>>30881763
She's an illegal immigrant, lives alone, and is in the body of a teenager
It's impressive that she isn't living in a back alley eating rats and drinking dirty rainwater

that scene made me love shimmy even more

>>30881763
She's being blackmailed. She has to send half her monthly income and nude pictures or else something she did right after arriving on earth that she now deeply regrets will be revealed to all her new friends.

>>30881818
The fuck kinda head canon is that?

>>30881952
The good kind.

>>30881791
>"Oh my god, you killed Shimmy, you bastard!"

>>30881763
Because she is a minor living in an alien world with no parents, no records or papers, or even a car. You try surviving on your own as well as she has.

>>30881971
No. That's head canon suggests you have some mental issues.

>cute homeless girl
>not raped or found murdered in an alley behind a strip club
bullshit

>>30882011
They live in a small mountain town. Not fucking Detroit. And she has a home.

>>30881763
She is and undocumented illegal alien without any form of support.

>>30882011
She's not homeless

>>30881763
Sunset used to live in an orphanage/church complex. She starts working a part-time job and saving money for her own place. In the meantime, she starts dating and taking advantage of Flash (telling him to buy het things, demanding money, etc).

>>30881988
She's also a cute girl, so really, it wouldn't be as hard for her to get by as you'd think, as long as she's willing to degrade herself a little and be manipulative.
And I'm not straight out suggesting prostitution.
I've seen plenty of girls live with their boyfriends without having a job or even buying food. My brother's current ex lived with him for two years without paying any rent until he finally kicked her out for being a messy NEET.
A co-worker just divorced his wife who was also jobless and mooching off of him because she was complaining about him working too much and eventually cheated on him because he was never around.

As long as Sunset avoids pitfalls like these and is willing to be a perfect little housewife, she never actually has to fear about not having a place to stay.
It's not ideal, but it's more than most guys on the street can manage. They can barely couch hop without earning ire.

>>30883952
Y'know that almost explains why she would ever date a fucking dweeb like Flash.

They explained exactly why she dated him in RR. She used him because he was a popular jock and she needed popularity.
>>30883952
But now we know she has her own job and home. Still a good theory though.

In all likelihood once she realized that there was an actual economy in Humanland, she'd have gone back to Equestria to load up on gems which you can literally dig out of the ground by the handful to sell on the other side of the portal for huge profits.

Bitch is probably loaded from offloading shitloads of Equestrian sapphires, rubies and other precious stones.

>>30883952
There is literally nothing wrong about being a housewife and there are a lot of things wrong about spending your whole day at work, even though companies want to make you believe that.

Go post this on Tumblr. It will amuse me.

>>30881784
Someone photoshop that cat dying, it would be more realistic and Shimmer would have a valid reason on why to pet it once and never see it again.
Only to be found in the middle of the road ran over.

Things are different from how they were decades ago, Anon

>>30885438
This
People nowadays can't even pay for an apartment.

>>30885446
I legitimately want to know where you people are living that 5-600 bucks can't get you a decent 1 bedroom apartment in the not-hood part of your town, mostly so I know to never visit.

>>30885548
Any big city in America
New York for example had prices so high that the local government had to put in a price ceiling
Though that just resulted in the owners either leaving the market or letting the quality of their property diminish.

>>30885548
Well, excuse us, Billy Bob, not everyone lives in the middle of nowhere surrounded by tumbleweeds, pitchfork wielding rednecks and cows.

That's what the Dazzlings do after getting btfo'd by her

>>30885768
No, the Dazzlings are living in a back alley eating COCKS and drinking SEMEN.

>>30881763
Anon considering she's a horse woman with a teenager girl's body living in a completely foreign land with no documentation whatsoever and no other way of income than whatever she can get with her own hands she's fucking loaded.

>>30885564
Fuck, You're so rural even Applejack thinks you're a yoekel, here in tacoland rain has so much gas residues you can decant them and use that to light a grill

>>30881763
She's just an average woman who can't budget.

I'll never not find hilarious how for all the chad-esque shitposting we did about Flash back in the day he ended up turning into the most /mlp/ like character in the EqG universe.

>Got dumped by gf who was probably only using him to survive her first years in hueman land.
>Even after reforming said girl wants nothing to do with him.
>End up falling in love with horse grill.
>It turns out horse grill is from another universe so he can't be with her.
>Try to make advances on another girl who looks similar to horse grill but she also wants nothing to do with him and is in love with the /fit/ camp guy.
>Despite this he tries to play it cool and be a good friend but the current cool kids seems to tolerate him at best.
>He thinks he's a musician/artist but couldn't even win a high school contest.
>He lives forever alone dreaming of horse pussy.

At least he has that qt lazy eyed girl following him, but he doesn't seem to notice.

>>30885838
All kidding aside, I think Derpy is just naturally nice.
Also, if I recall correctly didn't she get something similar to a love letter in EqG1?

>>30885838

There is nothing wrong with being a housewife as long as you still pull your weight.
Cooking, cleaning, and not being a whinny bitch is pretty much all you need to do.
Also, not cheating on your husband because he's trying hard to provide for you and your child is a big help too.

>>30881763
>Living in your own apartment by yourself

/mlp/ is so sheltered.

A lot harder to do when you used to be a horse, anon.

Where I live 'was' very small not many cars the houses were cheap when I came back from Ohio, this small town got packed rent used to be 500 to 550 now it's 750.
Let's just say we barely have enough to pay one bill.

Modern media encourages it though. It's the Jews fault. They want marriages to fail

Rarity directly states that he dumped her. Not the other way around.
