Talk:Starlight Glimmer/@comment-10390252-20170815101135

Today, I realised that the reason I like the Sunburst/Starlight ship is entirely due to the fact that I personally view her as 'reformed but not cured', somewhat like Discord. Although there haven't been any major relapses in Season 7 that I can point to, Season 6 Starlight came across as struggling to understand the concept of other ponies haviing rights and feelings and that she should care about them when it doesn't affect her personally (which puts her somewhere on the sociopathic spectrum, IIRC). Oh, and she has a genius-class intellect and is in the top 0.1% in terms of power and skill.

I just like the thought of Sunburst, a nice, introverted and generally-inoffensive theoretical researcher having a Special Somepony who is essentially the version of FemRevan from Knights of the Old Republic who had found her way back to the Light Side but had never really overcome the old urges.

"You wouldn't believe the trouble I had with some of my grad students today Starlight!"

"Oh... Would you like me to lobotomise them for you, Sunburst?"
