Cool. Wickerman reference I see.
Yikes. The first one on this list I saw coming, but I have to say the second one definitely gives me the creeps. And, knowing you, it's fifty-fifty on whether or not it's an incident like with the gang's first meeting with Zecora where they really ARE just ugly rumors or if it turns out to be all too real. No offense on that - simply an observation based on past experience.
I do wish that more episodes focused on the villains. Megaron and the Mean 6 have plans to betray Grogar, we still don't know Lavan's backstory, we haven't seen the sirens interact with Squirk nor have we seen their reactions to any of the really evil stuff Grogar does, they're getting their final member (as far as we know) in a few episodes, Tirek has shown a number of virtues (he showed regret over what he and the others did to Spike, he loves his mother and grandmother, and he had enough decency to feel regret for murdering his own father) which make him one of the most humane of the villains (which I suppose is in keeping with how the show itself fleshed him out in season 9 and made him arguably the least evil of the LoD), Cozy Glow's parents were introduced back in season 10, and Scorpan is still up there, which makes you wonder why Discord hasn't tried to communicate with him.
I had an idea for the final chapters or the ones where they face Grogar. The Father of Monsters, I'm planning the same thing in mine when it reaches that point.
