S4: It Ain't Easy Being Breezies · 1:02am Mar 6th, 2014
Better late than never!
- Breezies. Tiny butterfly pony-people that speak a flargen-floogen language. This amuses me greatly, to the point where I believe this is the first episode in a long time that I went back to rewatch.
- It's all Spike's fault, and he's still a doormat.
- I find it strange that out of all of them, only Seabreeze wants to (and I mean, really wants to) go home. Considering the fact that the reason why the Breezies are making the journey is because they're heading home, shouldn't the other Breezies have family or other loved ones to be concerned about reaching?
- Fluttershy is too nice to the Breezies. I guess this episode is another lesson on being assertive? Cue plankton.gif.
- Seabreeze's little tirade seems to hint at profanity being perfectly alive in the bright and cheery world of MLP.
- It's a big scary world out there for the Breezies. And here I thought that Fluttershy's comment on such, juxtaposed with a bright sunny day with butterflies flying about, was supposed to be a joke.
- Twilight has a transformation spell, but it only works if there is a source subject present to operate on. There are implications for this. Perhaps it works in a vein similar to how changeling magic works? It works on a group; could it work on a greater scale? Who knows?
- Breezies live in a literal magical hole in the ground. This raises many questions for me. Who made it? Where did the Breezies come from? How do they maintain their ecosystem underground if they don't have a real "sun"? Have they always lived down there? And so on. (Yes, yes, I know: magic, the show's greatest phlebotinum.)
- Dah flowah is dah key. The first thing I thought is that it'll end up wilting away and then they wouldn't be able to use it anymore. The second thing I thought is that it'll make another appearance in a flowerpot somewhere in Fluttershy's home.
That's all for now, folks. The next chapter of Gates to Renascence is on the way, hanging at a hefty 6k words so far.
Now, for some crass humor courtesy of The Witcher universe and their venerable bard-flirt, Dandelion.
I'm kinda scared to imagine what happened to them in "Tiberian Eclipse."
Also, Flutters having to "relearn" stuff. I don't have an issue w/ that. Overcoming shyness can take a lifetime, if you ever get over it at all. I would know. Plus, the one thing the show never covers is that sometimes, we forget things and we have to be reminded. Sometimes, we keep making the same mistakes because well, we don't learn at all.
But well, that's just my two cents. 
FINALLY, SOMEONE WHO LIKED THE EPISODE!!!
No seriously, so far most comments I read say that most of the fandom didnt like it for some reason, going so far as to call it the worst episode ever.
I can understand their point but still this is a show for preteens (5-10 years old) and that will always be the main demographic.
