Silver Spoon Character Rerailment, remains a chapter I am most proud of, alongside Rarity's original reharmonization. And it wasn't even originally planned for the series.

Character Rerailment
Sweet Apple Acres . . . I wonder if the other Crusaders are here yet, and if Applebloom has finished her chores for the day yet. Mom would have a heart attack if she saw me with mud on myself. Heh, helping Applebloom just might be worth it, being dirty on purpose would be a nice new thing.
I noticed trotting next to me is a pink filly with violet and white mane and a small diamond crown on her head that matched the one on her flanks (actually, vice versa).
But . . . Diamond Tiara wouldn't be caught dead here...
!
'Diamond Tiara!' I tried to shout at seeing my friend! I was ready to forgive her on the spot! I wanted my best friend back! I wanted to tell her that the blank flanks weren't so bad after all! That they were FUN to hang out with, and it would be more entertaining for her to BE with them than to be AGAINST them. That I wanted her as my friend back! That I wanted her to be friends with my new f


But when I read the YMMV page on One Bad Apple, and saw this entry,
"tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php…" (Before it was even technically an official trope!) I knew exactly what I had to write.

While Silver Spoon is indeed in canon programmed to be a satellite character of a satellite character, she was showing some tiny signs of having more personality, then this episode came along and put her back in her "proper place."

While it doesn't QUITE warrant being called a moment of the "character development regression pill" I think it's a shame since a shallow character was finally being given some depth that didn't relate to them being tethered to Diamond Tiara The Living Speedbump.

Also, Friends Forever #16 will be about Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon... and it honestly sounds like the usual "torment the CMC" story, just from their own perspective.

Still, the Friends Forever stories usually have both characters learning SOMETHING, so maybe there's hope.
