@Wiimeiser  
yeah, that explains a lot

@Makarosc  
The writers of Season 7-9 have nothing in common with the writers from seasons 1-3 except Fame and Misfortune. Look up the writers per season and see.

They probably really did forget he existed he hasn’t been so much as mentioned in canon for over 8 years, plus the writers generally didn’t know what they were doing from season 7ish till the end

They probably forgot a lot of ponies. They probably didn’t forget Spur, as she was probably never meant to exist…

@Sanagi 蛹
 
Him being a character that never had a plot role beyond S1’s finale didn’t help either.

Run of the mill petty rich snob is not as memorable as an unremorsably evil shapeshifter bug queen ||and a female. ||

Good

(It is 100% SFW under the spoiler tag)
 
@Chrysipuff
 
Yes. And quite attractive at that, for being a bug pony. And her self-assuredness is quite appealing.

@AC97  
It’s because Chrysalis is a female

Canon only made this parody more magnificent.
 
Blueblood just wasn’t a monster. He never was. In fact, you can easily argue he’s a better pony than Trixie, in a few ways because he never was shown to seek revenge for humiliation.

Because no one cares about you…

im not surprised in the slightest that prince blueballs was forgotten about

No big loss

The Best Night Ever by Capn_Chryssalid. One of my favorites.
 
The sequel was unfinished years ago. Checking on it again, it’s almost 900,000 words and still going.

“Your not funny and nobody likes you”🤨💪👆

@Background Pony #8AC1  
That fic was a fun time. Though I never bothered with the sequel. Is it good?

He’s forever stuck in a time loop. Groundhog day style.
 
Bonus points if you get the reference.

@Flufux  
He was introduced as Celestia’s Nephew.
 
A (male) member of the royal family on par with Cadance before she was married and her kingdom showed up.
 
His very existence raises questions.
 
Doesn’t matter what meta reason he was made for, his absence after the fact is made all the more glaring by the increasing status of the main characters.

@PonyPon  

 
Why? He’s a one-dimensional one-episode character who’s sole purpose in the story was to be a subversion to the ‘Prince Charming’ trope. I can think of at least a dozen characters who had way more potential for future episodes than he does, and yet everyone ignores them and keep bringing up this guy for some reason.

@Flufux
 
I think Suri and Lightning Dust should have been redeemed, would have been interesting to see them as friends.

For many years.
 
@Flufux  
Because it would only make sense for him to be a bigger deal.

He only showed up in one episode and had no personality beyond being a snobby jerk. Plus, he didn’t befriend any of the Mane Six or played a huge part in their development. I mean, if we put Blueblood in that group, we might as well add Sludge, Suri Polomare, Gladmane or Lightning Dust (at least she showed up in more than one episode) while we’re at it.
 
To this day, I still don’t get why people make such a big deal of this character.

_{Here’s another worthless character everyone forgot about.}
 

The best part is that he no longer has any hereditary ties to power. He’s done.
