Does This Song Contain G5 Lore? · 2:44am Mar 4th, 2023
So, MLP Tell Your Tale Volume 3 has a musical track sung by Opaline. Yes, Opaline Arcana. The thing is, I noticed that the song actually might explore more about Opaline than we anticipated. We already know she’s apparently a Fire Alicorn, but we don’t know anymore than that and that she caused the divide, but we only know she caused the divide because she wanted magic all for herself, but we don’t know how she did it, although I think this song actually explains how she did it.
There are actually subtle details about Opaline in this song, some of we’ve suspected for a long time, but something else got my attention - based on how Opaline says “hypnotised by the words I’m saying”, which suggests she may’ve hypnotised the tribes to turn against each other, or tried to get them to surrender to her but something went wrong. Hopefully we’ll learn a bit more about what made Opaline so dangerous that the Mane 6 (or G4 Mane 6 if Misty ends up joining the Mane 5) couldn’t stop her. On top of that, the context of the song would mean that it has to have been sung after Opaline’s magic is restored as she seemingly admits to no longer needing Misty based on how she says “Don’t need no pony with me”, and based on what G5 merchandise says about Opaline, who’s to say she didn’t steal Misty’s cutie mark to gain a sort of leverage over her? Remember what Twilight said about magic “constantly evolving”.
Also, who else finds the musical arrangements of Opaline’s song rather chilling?
