[bq=“kaemantis”]So teenage Scootaloo, precious darling of mamas Rainbow Dash and Fluttershy (and

Godpoppy Discord too), leads a rangly-tangly skater gang composed of fellow Thatchroof

Prep students. The boys in Scoot’s crew are relatively mild-mannered—mostly they just

tool around on their skateboards, play their music loud and brag about how sexy they

obviously are. But the fillies (namely Pinchy and Pumpkin Cake) idolize Rebel Leader

Scoot and hang on her every word. When Scoot is in the mood (as she often is) for a

spirited round of “bully hunting”, her girls are always more than happy to fight

the good fight at her side…even if the alleged bullies haven’t cause the gang

any personal insult, or in fact done anything cruel to anyone in years because-

-heaven forbid!—they’ve long since grown out of their douchebag phase.

If teen Scoot’s self-proclaimed vigilantism feels a lot like bullying itself,

that’s because it is. By high school our Scoot is quite the spoiled brat,

bloated with the admiration of her peers. To her credit, I will affirm that

Scoot eventually matures past this and classes up her act. Kids will be kids

and kids can be super [lame] shitty, but they don’t always stay shitty [lame] forever.

On another note, this is the first time I’ve shown any JG characters wearing their

sigil pins. Typically when a young mare or stallion enters high school, her/his

family commissions a special cutie mark pin for the family’s newest near-adult.

A sigil pin is typically worn as a tie tack on a uniform or other manner of

formal dress. Among romantic partners too young to marry, sigil pins are often

swapped and displayed, kind of like class rings for human kids. Scoot and Pumpkin

are shown here sporting their sweethearts’ pins; Pinchy, who is single, is wearing her own.

PS: Pinchy wears a trenchcoat of teenage disillusion because of course

she does. She had a lousy childhood and all her closest friends are lobsters.[/bq]
