Ironic Indulgence is a Guardian Rubric used in Homestuck by the Guardians during Strife. Rose Lalonde's Mom is the one that uses this technique, and in a gesture of perceived cruel irony, she drunkenly steps to the side and offers her daughter an adorable pony with a huge pink bow on its head for Rose to cherish. Rose, however, is not into ponies or the color pink, but gives it a begrudging pat regardless. Ironic Indulgence has lasting effects, as Maplehoof sticks around in the house even after Strife ends. #c6c6c6" cellspacing=0 cellpadding=2
