well if it can bring back a smile to those who feel sad about Derpy, here is a comic I made a while ago that might cheer you up :P it's a bit mean but it was well received as a funny one. enjoy: http://meteorimpact.deviantart.com/art/Derpy-s-origins-257607938?q=gallery%3Ameteorimpact%2F13906171&qo=2
Ditzy Doo - another name for Derpy - was supposed to get the birds from the South and bring them back North in a previous Winter Wrap Up, but flew North to get them instead
I still prefer to think of Ditzy Doo and Derpy as separate ponies. Mainly because I don't like the idea that the only thing ever said about Derpy in canon would be an insult.
The first one is number 5 (and last) in a small series I made.
The first one was featured here on EqD a few months back, but I never got around to sending the others to Seth. Glad to see it found its way here on its own.
@Daisymare Rainbow Dash is known for acting and speaking before thinking; given that she sought out Derpy to apologize to her, I'm sure she wouldn't intentionally hurt her feelings. It's not like we're dealing with Gilda, here.
Personally, I prefer a characterization of Derpy where she's OK with being different and doesn't let comments like that bother her, but this is a well-done comic; kudos to the artist.
#1 gets less funny when you realize Luna just destroyed one of their most important crops for the sole purpose of a joke. I doubt any of the zebras would find any amusement out of that.
I laugh at the comments, they all feel sad for 'derpy' which can be interpreted as an insult. She's called Ditzy. Wanna make her happy again, use the right name.
Anyway, in my headcanon, Dizzy Doo is fully aware that she does silly things sometimes, and here reaction to that would be more like 'Heh, yeah, that was pretty dumb, wasn't it? *embarrassed chuckle*'.
Oh great. Now Luna has taken after her big sister in that she's taken up trolling as well. And now they are all FruitStripe zebras. I wonder if you lick them, if they will taste fruity. :D~
And the second comic... awwwwwww, Derpy. :'( That genuinely made me sad. Because I can certainly relate to this Derpy and her sorrow of seeming to be different. *hugs her tightly*
@DutchB She was one of the three pegasi seen panicing and escaping Cloudsdale during Discord's Vision. Unfortunately from the angle she was at you couldn't see the Eyes, but it was certainly her.
As for Luna personality... I'm not sure. Probably benevolent ruler as well, with some trauma issues after being Nightmare Moon for soo long, and maybe a Jealousy Issue considering that was part of the reason that turned her into Nightmare Moon.
@Fractured Yeah IA, but I guess some people don't like Rarity because she's the most traditionally FASHION!girly character. It's irrational because she really does have such a warm and lovely personality.
RD is my least favorite out of the mane six (I still love her though!) just because she is the most insensitive when it comes to others. I think she's acting very much in-character in this comic; like jodyjm13 said, she's not being malicious, she probably just doesn't realize how her words or actions might affect others.
Ditzy Doo. Please stop crying. Don't listen to that mean old Rainbow Dash. We love you because you're different. We love you because your adorable. ... GATHER THE MOB. Dash will pay for this.
On the Luna side, so she's responsible for Poison Joke doing that? I think that's what's going on.
It would've been funnier if she did something to the plants, rather than use the plants against them. Unless the joke's supposed to be that she replaced one plant of blue for another.
Even when she's trying to be kind, she's still a Rainbow Jerk.
Does anypony else think that Dash is actually trying to make an honest apology that just comes out completely wrong? 'cause I feel like I should give her a bit of credit, even while it's obvious she said way too much.
As for Derpy, I think she's obsessing too much on being different and not enough on what's important. She still eats, breathes, lives, and functions inside of society; way I see it, there's nothing wrong with her. She could have a flower head, spotted body, otter forelegs, bird hind legs, and a flagpole for a tail for all I care and I'd still insist that there's nothing wrong with her.
@Ford Seconded. Also, if you really want to take things this seriously, what Rainbow Dash said was, "it was a pretty stupid thing to fly that way"; that is, she was calling the action stupid, not the pony performing the action. Still not a smart thing to say, but considering we all do stupid things from time to time, it's not that harsh an insult; it just hit Derpy in a vulnerable area in this comic.
Aww, it isn't her fault that she gets separated from the group every year and goes the wrong way. She brings back some birds, thats the important part.
Are you guys seriously so blind you cannot see the context in this comic? It's just a simple metaphor to what happens in schools all over the world. Instead of being sad about Ditzy, take your time to sit back and think a little.
@Ironlenny I think you're the one that REALLY needs to sit back and think. Not only about what i've just said here.

Poor Zecora and Derpy.
ReplyDeleteSad Derpy makes me sad.
ReplyDeleteNonono, Sad first, then Happy. Now you've just put a downer on my happy feeling. Way to go Seth :(
ReplyDelete:P Very good comics though.
Lol'd at first… Cried at second…
ReplyDeletederpy awwwwwww
ReplyDeleteIt is okay to be different Ditzy!
ReplyDelete.... I don't think I've been so upset at a Derpy comic.
ReplyDeleteDitzy never forget that we love the way you different! This makes you special.
ReplyDeletePony Up!
Aaaaaw Damnit Dash.
ReplyDeleteI fail to see the joke in the first comic...
ReplyDeleteNOOOESS! Ditzy doesn't deserve that! Take it back!
ReplyDeleteThe first one was okay, but the second one made my eyes tear up... so sad.
ReplyDeleteDerpy! hug! now!
ReplyDeletewell if it can bring back a smile to those who feel sad about Derpy, here is a comic I made a while ago that might cheer you up :P it's a bit mean but it was well received as a funny one. enjoy: http://meteorimpact.deviantart.com/art/Derpy-s-origins-257607938?q=gallery%3Ameteorimpact%2F13906171&qo=2
ReplyDeletefirst i got, ha ha fruit stripes
ReplyDeletesecond i dont get, flying north? is she a bird? i dont understand
Because if you weren't different, you be the same as everypony else, and that would be, as Pinkie Pie says, "BO-RING!"
ReplyDeleteSecond one somehow made me think about all the kids in schools who are different. Derpy's having it relatively easy.
ReplyDelete#1 ...and then Fallout Equestria happened.
ReplyDelete#2 I'm hugging the screen but it's not doing anything!
That made me not like Rainbow Dash at all. Why would she be so mean to poor Derpy. I feel so bad for her now.
ReplyDelete@Soapy5
ReplyDeleteThe plant is Poison Joke. Think it implies Luna made it the way it was in the show.
@Gypsy
Ditzy Doo - another name for Derpy - was supposed to get the birds from the South and bring them back North in a previous Winter Wrap Up, but flew North to get them instead
Awwww, there there Derpy, there there.
ReplyDelete@Daisymare
ReplyDeleteHey, she apologized in her own way. Good enough for me.
I still prefer to think of Ditzy Doo and Derpy as separate ponies. Mainly because I don't like the idea that the only thing ever said about Derpy in canon would be an insult.
ReplyDelete:( at #2
ReplyDeleteSuddenly I want some Fruit Stripe gum...
ReplyDeletePart of me just wants to backhoof Rainbow Dash for the second one.
ReplyDeleteAs for the first one, I loled quite a bit.
So #2 seems totally in character for Rainbow Dash. So I don't get why everyone hates on Rarity but loves the hell outta Rainbow.
ReplyDeleteDashes apology is very accurate, and a carbon copy of how a few of my own apologies have gone.
ReplyDeletePoor Derpy
ReplyDeleteThe first one is number 5 (and last) in a small series I made.

ReplyDeleteI don't know, that seems a bit mean spirited for Luna.
ReplyDeleteWhy? Why do you have to make Derpy sad?!
...poor derpy...
ReplyDeletewe all love you :D
@Gypsy Rainbow apologized to Ditzy for calling her stupid during Winter Wrap-up, and then accidentally insulted her again.
ReplyDeleteI laugh at the comments, they all feel sad for 'derpy' which can be interpreted as an insult. She's called Ditzy. Wanna make her happy again, use the right name.
ReplyDeletei am being an idiot again
@EonMaster
ReplyDeleteIndeed. It also probably resulted in a LOT of paperwork and apologies for Celestia.
Anyway, in my headcanon, Dizzy Doo is fully aware that she does silly things sometimes, and here reaction to that would be more like 'Heh, yeah, that was pretty dumb, wasn't it? *embarrassed chuckle*'.
ReplyDeleteQuestion: Why does everyone want to make Ditzy cry? I know Dash wasnt trying to but still.
ReplyDeleteI'm giving Ditzy the biggest hug right now.
ReplyDeleteFirst I was like :)
ReplyDeleteThen I was like :|
Then I was like :(
Then I was like :'( ...
@Onej6
ReplyDeleteNah, I know what you mean. I don't like the fan-made name 'Derpy Hooves' at all, it's such an insult. Her name is Ditzy Doo.
I don't like comics that put any of the Mane 6 as the "mean one" of the story... they just make people hate them...
ReplyDelete...specially when it's Rainbow Dash.
I want to hug Derpy sooooo much nao!
ReplyDeleteAWWWWWWWW Poor Derpy. I can't help but think of the song I'm So Ronery. Don't worry Derpy, we love you <3
ReplyDeleteOh great. Now Luna has taken after her big sister in that she's taken up trolling as well. And now they are all FruitStripe zebras. I wonder if you lick them, if they will taste fruity. :D~
ReplyDeleteAnd the second comic... awwwwwww, Derpy. :'( That genuinely made me sad. Because I can certainly relate to this Derpy and her sorrow of seeming to be different. *hugs her tightly*
@Onej6
ReplyDeleteYou think "Ditz" isn't in insult?
Can anyone tell me what the second one is about? the writing is so small I can't read it and if I zoom in on it it gets blurry.
ReplyDeleteA 'script' of some kind would be perfect if you could :)
This sort of thing is why Saddlesoap Opera had the name 'Ditzy Doo' be a pseudonym that a pony named 'Bright Eyes' is using.
ReplyDeleteWhen Derpy cries... I cry... She needs a hug NAO!!!
ReplyDeleteNow that i think of it will Ditzy be in the second ep?
ReplyDelete/me hopes so
T_T
ReplyDelete#2
ReplyDeleteBut we love you for being different... (hugs and brushes her mane)

But Ditzy Doo went north NOT Derpy (which is her official accepted name by the crew) :D
ReplyDelete#1: I thought Luna was mature.
ReplyDelete#2: D'aawww dont worry Derpy I still love you! *reaches for hug*
I can't read that second one, at all.
ReplyDeleteAnd the first one I can only read because there's a link to the original.
"Why am I so different?"
ReplyDeleteCause your eye is fucked up.
Damnit Dash! You sure don't know when to shut your mouth. >:O
ReplyDeleteHang in there Derpy. =\
Aww, it isn't her fault that she gets separated from the group every year and goes the wrong way. She brings back some birds, thats the important part.
ReplyDeleteSad derpy should not be allowed :(
ReplyDeleteOkay, Seth. I've got a brilliant idea.
ReplyDeleteYou can keep the sad... BU~UT, you put it before the happy.
Poor Derpy... quick, get Pinkie Pie to make a hole in the 4th wall so we can send Derpy some letters of encouragement!
ReplyDeleteAre you guys seriously so blind you cannot see the context in this comic? It's just a simple metaphor to what happens in schools all over the world. Instead of being sad about Ditzy, take your time to sit back and think a little.
ReplyDelete@Ironlenny
I think you're the one that REALLY needs to sit back and think. Not only about what i've just said here.
If it makes derpderp happy i am like her. Shes not different.
ReplyDeleteI see, Luna is as big a tease as her sister. Good to know. x3
ReplyDelete*hugs Derpy forever* T___T
ReplyDeleteD8....That sad Derpy....will haunt me.
