Talk:For Whom the Sweetie Belle Toils/@comment-11634302-20161217121526/@comment-5837525-20161217160726

I just explained how it wasn't "over nothing".


 * Sweetie Belle: I worked so hard on this play. I wrote it especially for the three of us! I directed it, I'm in it, I made the costumes... It's just that this is really my time to shine doing something completely myself, and I really wanted to keep it that way!

At this point in the episode, Sweetie Belle believes -- in her head -- that what she worked on is truly amazing because of how much work she put into it. And then this happens:


 * Noteworthy: I liked some of those lines you said.
 * Sweetie Belle: Oh, really? Which ones?
 * Noteworthy: Uh, I don't really remember.

All anyone really remembers about the play is the costumes Rarity made, making Sweetie Belle feel like Rarity was trying to steal her glory. It's like collaborating with someone on a project, you each do an equal amount of work, but they get more credit than you do. That's why Sweetie Belle was, as you so eloquently put it, "being a dirty jerk".
