I'm having a very, very difficult time watching the show. Most parts of it at least, mostly the season premiers and finales, and episodes in between, as well as parts of the Equestria Girls movies.

The reason is it's been really hurting me watching it seem like Rarity is always useless and/or gets captured and can't accomplish anything when things matter. For example, I still can't bare to finish the S4 finale, I've always shut it off just before "fight" because I just keep feel like they're saying she's useless. I have yet to watch the S5 finale for the reason that it just seems like a victim, and the S6 finale is actually making me a bit irrational thinking about it. I was okay with the first two EQG movies, but seeing her as just a "battery" as described in the third one really upset me. Makes me afraid to watch the 4th one, I don't want to see her useless again.

I used to hate Twilight because at first, when I was irrational, I blamed her for causing these things. (I'm sorry to those of you who love her, I didn't mean it. But it's how I've gotten and how my mind ended up operating under that irrationality.) I guess it was that not only do I love Rarity and need to see her safe, but seeing me reflected in her too, I felt like insecurities about me being useless might have been coming up too.


So I was wondering, has anyone ever felt a similar way about something, and if so, have ways to deal with this? It's something I'd really like to work on. I mean, I think it's okay to not like that she's not doing anything in the finales and such, but what I want to fix in myself is that irrationally upset mindset. And like I said, I think where the problem is coming from is not just my love and concern for her safety, but also seeing my reflection of myself.

How can I prevent that? I kind of want to make it a goal to not get like this for whatever happens in S7.
