cirusthecitrus:The Dazzlings lost their magic not just because their gems were broken, but because they were broken and simply lost. They’ve been living their entire lives with a single knowledge: their singing makes people aggressive, and that aggression feeds their magic. This is the most reliable and the only source of energy. And for the best effect, if you need to be responded with aggression, you need to act evil too. They believed in this sincerely and simply didn’t know that they can receive power in a different way, nobody has ever told them. They’re not ponies and not people, sirens live with their special rules. And they’ve never thought that it didn’t have to be like that, that they would be able to survive without aggression. But they did. After a long self search for a new meaning of existence, they came back to singing. Their voices were always fine, but not their state of mind. But now they found their peace, they accepted this new life, found the beauty of it and they were ready to accept themselves once again. Ready to accept new magic. Therefore, now their gems perceive not negative emotions, but positive ones, without mind-control, without any brute force. Now sirens can make others happy with their songs and therefore make themselves happy.The Dazzlings’ve come a long way, without any support from the others, without preaching about friendship and stuff, without “instantly getting their forgivness and becoming friends with the main characters”. They came to this on their own. And that, I believe, is the best character development we could give them -- source link
