Everypony's Looking For Something
May. 26th, 2016 11:51 pmStarlight Glimmer is a serious pony. She studies hard and is always serious about learning, but I don't see much in the way of passion in her. I don't think there is much of a finish line for her. She's out of the stall and cantering along just fine, but she's like she has no real destination. She's not just wearing blinkers, she's practically blindfolded and following where I lead her.
When she had her goal of removing the cutie marks of every last pony in Equestria, she had passion. She knew where she was going and she could see the track clearly. Now that is gone and all she has are her studies. Hopefully friendship will give her the support and confidence to look further and find something that she can be passionate about. Maybe I should ask the Cutie Mark Crusaders to talk to her. It is, if I've understood it right, their calling.

That could be construed as pretty harsh criticism of how she's living her life if it comes across wrong. In particular I think that you should point Starlight at the Crusaders, not the other way around, to make sure that if she's talking to them about long-term goals it's because she feels ready to do so.
