As I said earlier, the Cloverleafs think Argyle made Derpy up out of whole cloth. However, many of the ponies of Maretime Bay, including the Starscouts and the Cloverleafs, are distantly descended from her via Dinky and Pipsqueak.

By the way this is a reference to King of the Hill. All you need to know is Hank Hill is an average Texan man who loves football, propane, Reagan and America.
But his world is rocked when he finds out a dark secret.
Applebloom oddly enough does much better at school that Big Mac and AJ ever did. Mostly because Bloom’s crazy crusade for a cutie mark made her extremely good at picking stuff the rest of the apples usually miss, making brain connections the other apples never did.

Not to mention in some cultures snakes are vinculated with curation. Rarity probably gets along with snakes as well because they probably love Rarity’s cozy home.
@Cosmas-the-Explorer
It comes from greek origins, Asclepius, the god of healing and medicine, he carried a staff with a snake, and in current day to get a lot of antidotes and healing substances they use snake’s venom to do it.
Admittedly in hindsight I commited an overstretch, but because of the whole healing thing, I also imagine snakes would be a symbol of sanitation and sterilization as well as the fact some snakes are conneted with water and humid environments….something the dirt hater Rarity would appreciate.
Of all the fillies, Diamond Tiara actually loves horror stories and themes. She keeps it hidden because her mother thinks spiders and blood are “uncouth and disgusting”.
Anyway. Pharynx isn’t the only changeling with PTSD nightmares about Derpy. Ocellus has a full brother who also wakes up screaming about “the cross-eyed terror”.
When Rarity lost to Derpy as a filly at kart racing, Rarity vowed vengeance against her. She suspected her parents, owners of a lumber company, of bribing the judge, and so dressed as Shadow Shade and tried to get proof of the secret nefaious dealings.
Rainbow Dash loves slasher horror movies, but hates to invite her friends for different reasons.
AJ thinks Dash’s movies are so over the edge and can be nasty.
Rarity feels the blood and guts are disgusting.
Fluttershy cannot even enjoy Nightmare Night, let alone slasher movies.
Twilight would go all CinemaSins with the movies.
And Pinkie Pie wouldn’t be able to stop screaming.
@Twi Clown
I have a therory Rarity would not mind a horror movoe even an blood soaked one if the atmosphere and perhaps were done in a beautiful fabulous way instad of something likeba chainsaw.
@Just Wayne
Twilight would probably appreciate it even more than whatever movie Rainbow would want. Twilight would feel rewarded for watching it.
@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I wonder if they’d enjoy the first Final Destination as well. A lot of first installments of these slasher franchises are actually pretty good.
@Just Wayne
Somewhat similar.
Granted, the focus on style over blood and the way they actually play with the plot in ingenious ways could make Rarity and Twilight somewhat more open to watch it and AJ might have more respect over it.
@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Yeah, but given this is Dash who are we talking about, Dash would probably pick some which go into flat out brutal and Rarity would indeed find it not very tasty. Kinda like picking chainsaws over surgery knifes.
