    Seven days of keeping Twilight at bay. What's the worst that can happen?

    All he has to lose is his self-respect and dignity...

    This is amazing

    One little thing, "Our struggle will be so epic, so titanic, that it will rent this very city that you seek to protect asunder!"

    I think that should be rend

    And come on Twilight, everypony knows that if you say that it's Opposite Day it's really the Opposite of Opposite Day, eg a normal day after all. Rookie mistake.

    I did have an idea of trying to write the craziest stories possible from all the known episode synopses. Then I though that would be insane.

    Apparently Sombra's D&D is very different from Twilight's D&D. THAT was where I broke out into laughter. Well done sir, well done.

    Of course, this now ruins any chances Sombra had of being intimidating in the show. Or...you're psychic. :rainbowderp:

    >>>“Yes, well…” King Sombra shrugged, sitting back in his chair and covering his head dramatically with one hoof. “Don’t worry about it Twilight. I know not everyone is accepting of other pony’s religions. I don’t mind that in offending my beliefs by trying to overthrow me that you’re religiously persecuting me.”

    Twilight’s forehooves immediately went to her mouth. “No! No, I would never do anything to offend anyone of any religion!” she squeaked in horror. “I respect all beliefs equally! Come on girls, let’s leave!”>>>

    Transformers Prime does nothing for me I'm afraid. It's okay, but it seems like a 'safe' marketing exercise, like they wanted to make the safest, most generic Transformer show possible.

    I think I'm still bitter over the cancellation of Animated, really :pinkiesad2:

    >>1521980>>1522930 They're both descended from Latin. And Sombra is a play on the English word Somber, which means dark and gloomy, and the Latin word Umbra, which stands for shadow. So the name means 'Dark Shadow.'

    Meh I ain't mad. In all honesty Prime is good, but just not as good as Beast Wars. As for Animated, I haven't watched it (either I had no cable back then or stationed in England) so I can't pass judgement on the show, but I will agree that it sucks it got cancelled. Hmm maybe I should check out the show myself.

    You disliked the first one least? I can't say I found any of them entertaining, really. The first one was okay, but when I saw the second one, I thought to myself: "This guy is an epic troll. Even as bronies go."
