And the latter two are my current favorite members of their respective casts, whereas Pinkie is pretty near the bottom.<br /><br />Don't get me wrong, I realize there are substantial differences between the four. And I don't see any way I could prefer Pinkie to Twilight, let alone Fluttershy. But it seems rather odd for the same brain-category of this type to contain both extremes.<br /><br /><img src="https://www.dreamwidth.org/tools/commentcount?user=kd7sov&ditemid=78808" width="30" height="12" alt="comment count unavailable" style="vertical-align: middle;"/> comments https://kd7sov.dreamwidth.org/78808.html my little pony avatar tla brain rwby public 0
