>>32279543>Pinkie goes to her for advice in The Maud CoupleDidn't watch, but if the advice was about Maud, I don't see any problems, she's practically her only friend besides Pinkie.
>and receives advice from her in Rock Solid FriendshipWell, she literally was an imediate participant of the conflict, Pinkie just went to ask her what went wrong with her and Maud becoming friends.
>In Fame and Misfortune, Glimmer confronts a group of ponies shittalking Fluttershy and opens with 'why are you attacking my friend?I hate the role Starlight played in this episode, out of all episodes where people blamed writers to shoehorn her in, this is the one I agree the most with. But going back, saying someone is your friend isn't necessary that big of a deal, afterall Pinkie considers Cranky doodle as her friend for Christ sake, doesn't mean they in any way as close as she's with mane 6.
>Though arguably, she was desperate at that point, but Glimmer was still the first person she asked after the Mane 6.>I'm sure there's many more times I could list, but the point is made. Glimmer is clearly supposed to be a friend of the mane six.They might be 'friends', but they're not great friends as you claimed the show making them to be.
