Hoo, boy.

Aroudn the time of “The Last Problem”, Maud and Mudbriar’s eldest caught Spoiled Rich burglarizing the cave for arsenic-based minerals. Not coincidentally, Spoiled had her eye on a recently widowed prince in Canterlot but Filthy was still in very good health.

@Latecomer
Ok, make sense. Still I’m not sure if teaching is something both of those nutties can do. Then again clown academies are weird.

@Twi Clown
Er, what makes you think they’re good at owning stuff? If anything, that’s what Cheese learned he was bad at then. Party pony skills, on the other hand, is something Pinkie’s a natural at. (Though learning how to teach others who aren’t naturals will be a bit of a struggle, I admit.)

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Once graduated they get some acreditations and might even have free pass to directly work at some of Rarity’s boutiques. Twilight could have also created a school for science and magic, a natural evolution from Celestia’s school for unicorns. Granted I imagine Twilight more as a delegator rather than an active teacher since she probably prefers to make investigations herself in her spare time.

@Latecomer
Emm, no I think Pinkie and Cheese would only handle the basic administration and ownership. Neither of them are good for those kind of jobs as “The Last Laugh” attested; don’t get me wrong they probably would make the school and make it a success, but it’s more likely they will delegate the work to somebody else rather than do it themselves; kinda like a partnership instead of actually micromanaging the place.

@Latecomer
Maybe this what they should have done with the School of Friendship: make it also a place where students can learn about future jobs and become entrepeneurs.

@Twi Clown
Quite possible. (I can also see Pinkie starting a school for party ponies. Cheese is a guest lecturer.)

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
I’d like to think Rarity would also love the idea of inspiring other models and fashionistas to constantly create new attires and dresses. Maybe even founding her own school for theory and practice in clothing design.

Rainbow Dash’s favorite music is Nu Metal.

Then what was playing when Chrysalis was imitating Cadence

And whenever Chrysalis walks in, She’s a Maneater starts playing.

Anyone possessing Luna’s cutie mark has an inner darkness developing inside of them. Waiting to be unleashed.

In-universe, Careless Whisper starts to play every time Cadance walks into the room.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
Indeed - if she actually managed to pass herself off as a Canterlot lady, she might well have mixed feelings.

I can see Rarity as the type who simultaneously wants to be seen as both elite and a rags to riches story.

I can see Rarity telling her rags to riches story as a filly to Sweetie Belle for an hour. Like how she made a great lemonade stand empire or how she learned her accent simply watchong old movies.

Sigh
Introversion doesn’t necessarily mean “asocial”. It’s usually vinculated with the brain wired in a way where the chemicals like dopamine and serotonin among others usually have a longer travel time around the brain as well as a less direct connection compared to extroversion that requires a bigger input of stimuli along much more straightforward brain feeding. This is reflected in a state of mind somewhat more stoic and reflective than regular extraverts and it’s part of the reason why in a lot of times sociability while still accounted is not fully accepted as the only trait to measure introvertion or extraversion. This is also noted because people who score high on extraverted can be rather asocial if they also score high in other indicators like people-task oriented axis where the extrovert is more task oriented than people oriented or a preference towards competitiveness over cooperation.
Indeed, introverted is more reliably linked to a person with a higher predilection (and key word predilection because people are not cut-and-dry) for reflection, stoicism, pechant for nature and calmness, and while it’s certainly true party people are indeed more of an extraversion thing than introversion, sociability itself has been noted to be not quite as determinant. Extraversion meanwhile is more oriented towards domain and expressiveness, pechant for dynamic environments, motion driven, and while a lot of party animals might be indeed extraverted, being extraverted doesn’t guarantee loving parties if the stimuli is not the correct one.
I’m not really using “stereotypes” here as much as Maud certainly has delayed reactions in her mannerism that goes along a much more neutral reaction to the world and a tendency to focus her energies more inwards than outwards. If she’s not social then it’s probably because she clearly doesn’t get the proper stimuli, she does interact indeed but is never very active in her manners. Fluttershy it’s arguably also an introvert but it’s definitely more on the shy aspect here. And honestly I am not gonna open the aspie can there at all, partially because I’m not fully sure what it means nowadays anymore and because honestly it’s used as a crutch to describe mental issues on characters.

Strawberry Sunrise was foalhood friends with one of the Pear family.

@Twi Clown
I wouldn’t exactly call Maud Pie introverted. Not to step on any toes in terms of stereotypes, but there are some clear differences between being an Introvert and being an Aspie. And at the very least, this is me speaking as someone who is definitely an introvert, and someone who has had 3 Aspie friends in his life.

As a lowkey-midkey introvert, I find spending time with friends to be enjoyable but taxing. I feel pleasure hanging out with the friends I like, but still find it taxing cause I’m not fully relaxed. The taxing nature of hanging out as an introvert usually decreases to zero with family I’m especially close with, like my bro.

Maud doesn’t seem to be introverted. She doesn’t seemed to be taxed with hanging out with strangers, Pinkie’s friends, just unable to get to the same wavelength as other people, and realizing that. Regardless of stereotypes, a lot of Aspie people can understand social interactions just fine, but simply have a hard time with flexible communication for those interactions.

@Cosmas-the-Explorer
That’s why she’s sent to the dragon lands.

Twilight’s poetry was a borefest. It seemed so technical as if she were the teacher from that school in Dead Poets Society.

Fluttershy however is actually a terrific poet. She has quite a talent. Twilight and Rarity eventually said she should show them off.

Her poetry about the beauty of nature, about anxiety, about hopelessness and hope gripped every creature.

@Goku Black
And then she realized she also was an idiot as much as every dang creature itself.

Twilight thinks everypony else is an idiot…at least she used to.

Fluttershy - Shy (Cannot approach to others for fear of rejection)
Oh, um, I’m sorry. I-I-I was just trying to…

Maud Pie - Introverted (Cannot approach others because she’s not like that)
I don’t know if you’ve noticed, but I don’t show my enthusiasm for things quite in the same way my sister does.

Twilight Sparkle - Misanthrope (Cannot approach others because ponies are just irritating)
All the ponies in this town are CRAZY!!!

@Background Pony #1071
If she’s part of Sunny’s imagination, how can other ponies see her? XD

Izzy doesn’t exist and is just part of Sunny’s imagination

Might make an interesting AU
