Considering Saturday - Video

[horse_nerd]

Twilight adjusted the camera for a moment before sighing.

Video journal number #1 on the Duck:

Today I learned that my friends and I are going to ascend the throne. As predictably, I "Twilighted". A lot. And as a result, it was pretty insane. King Sombra came back and attacked both the Crystal Empire and Canterlot, and I was reminded of something. That we're always going to be true to ourselves.

That friendship is magic. That nothing will take away what makes us true to ourselves.

I guess I forgot everything in the hubbub of the sudden take over the country business which... won't happen... yet anyhow.

I'm tempted to use the Duck to see why Sombra attacked us, but I feel like that's tempting fate. Should I? I'm hovering over the Dailymotion links right now but I dunno... Ever since I've found the Duck, I've been quiet. I've rewatched my series already from top to bottom. Analyzing what I've done. And, well...

How do I put it...?

It feels weird, looking at your life and seeing what you've done, you know?

In video form.

So, knowing that this is my final adventures, at least for now, I'm going to set a video diary. Every Saturday.

Yours In Equestria
Twilight Sparkle

"Friendship is magic?" Don't give me that bullshit.

Re: Video

[horse_nerd]

What? It's the truth! Friendship is the most powerful force on the planet!

[explosive_temper]

Friendship makes you weak! [SCREW WHAT IT DID FOR DEKU.] Relying on others makes you weaker! How are you supposed to grow stronger on your own if you use others as a crutch!?

[horse_nerd]

Friendship is not weak! Bonds of friendship creates an unshakable belief in one another and creates trust, harmony and peace! It's a powerful force which creates magic, which... AUGH, it creates magical rainbow lasers, okay?

[explosive_temper]

And what does 'belief' do!?

... [Hold the phone. The last part manages to stop him from getting more intense, because he's finding it difficult to process this.] Magical rainbow lasers? You're fucking kidding me, right?

[horse_nerd]

Belief in your friends, that nothing will let each other down, that belief in yourself, that you won't let anyone else down and let nothing get in your way and be true to yourself.

[And Twilight... links a video.] Here. This is proof of the last time I used it.

[explosive_temper]

That's the sappiest shit I think I've ever heard.

[He doesn't look amused.]

Maybe strength in numbers can make you stronger. But where I come from? You only have yourself to rely on. Make friends? More like people that'll try and crush you underfoot. When you're aiming to be the best, you don't have time for that.

[cosmicbond]

Weak? Since when? My friends have NEVER made me feel even the slightest bit weak?

[There's a slight twitch to Gen's forehead, but he's trying to keep his temper in check. Total teacher mode.]

[explosive_temper]

Maybe not yet. And, hell, in someone else's world maybe it means something. But if you want to aim for the top, everyone else is only going to drag you down! It's a dog eat dog world.

[cosmicbond]

Dogs don't eat dogs!

[Yes. He's completely serious about that retort.]

And besides, what's the point of being on top if you ain't got no one to share it with? It'd be pointlessly lonely.

SLAMS IN HERE

[hardearned_friendship]

OKAY. Who's dissing friendship aka Cosmic Energy?!

[explosive_temper]

What of it!? What has friendship ever done for people? Other than make them reliant on others!?

[hardearned_friendship]

Stopped a black hole from consuming Japan.

[explosive_temper]

Okay, wise guy. How?

[hardearned_friendship]

Using the power of Cosmic Energy, aka friendship, we were able to defeat the Zodiarts and stop them from opening a black hole that would turn into a warp gate. That resulting explosion would have destroyed Japan completely in the process of warping to the center of the universe.

For the record? The teacher in the replies above you, Gentarou? He's the one who stopped it with our friendship and acceptance of the Zodiart leader, our Principal. Talk to him about it.

[holdmystabber]

Hey, which world is the closest to get some popcorn?

I mean I kind of agree with the statement but seriously, that's just asking for someone to kick your ass.

[explosive_temper]

Let 'em try! I'll show 'em why using friendship as 'power' is a one-way trip to getting your ass buried!

[holdmystabber]

Depending on the usage. Too much of it and it's just wasteful.

[Hmm, wonder if there's a way to know which world this guy is from. If that Moon kid can suddenly jump worlds, why couldn't Yua?]

[explosive_temper]

Oh sure, maybe it can be useful to some. But in the end, it just might be your own undoing. The only way to prove you're the best, is to be the best. What's friendship gonna do for you there?!

[holdmystabber]

Wanna learn?

[ironwoodtrees]

Kacchan are we really going to do this again? In public no less?

[Izuku is like, so so sighing right now.]

[explosive_temper]

Fucking can it, Deku! Nobody asked you!

[ironwoodtrees]

I'm just saying, these people have legitimate power from friendship, and considering our disparate timelines and all...

[Oh god Kacchan was from BACK THEN. Before All Might... you know...]

[explosive_temper]

Yeah well y'know what? If they get their fucking power from friendship, that's all fine and dandy. But I'm gonna show them that you can become strong without it! You don't need crutches like other people to prove you're strong!

[Yyyyep, the sports festival ended just a couple of days ago...]

[ironwoodtrees]

What about Kirishima? You and him mostly get along just fine.

[What about him? He was still kind of closest to Bakugou's friend at this point, even if Bakugou wouldn't admit it.]
