Tell Your Tale: The Lone Alicorn · 3:42pm February 23rd

So this week, the Together Tree that trapped Opaline within its roots didn't envelop as much of the castle as we initially thought.

Then a bunch of clubbing Racoonicorns destroy everything.

So, um, is Opaline like dead now? Because now there's nothing left of the castle or tree.

This show is weird.

If it were me, I'd say that the Together Tree withered away. With Opaline there, there was an attempt to grow the thing. Through Misty's character arc, it grew enough to reach out to the other trees. But no pony is there anymore. They have no reason to go to it. My understanding is that they flourish in the presence of unity and friendship and crap, but without anyone there, it just wilts away into nothing.

Can't tell if the alicorns are going to be the season 3 story arc or if the G5 Six are going to pointedly ignore Alura in favor of the alicorns (also can't remember if Alura is spelled with one 'l' or two). With the latter, it'd be some shit if Alura took advantage of them pointedly ignoring her in favor of the alicorn plot by enacting her plans while they're away.

Not declaring anypony dead until I see a body or they are vaporized Sombra-style. Or they are basically treated as dead, ala AJ's parents.

Seriously, your heads go in dark directions really easily.

Yeah i was not expecting that at all although i am pretty excited to see how they were discover other allocorns but yeah those animals ruin the castle so i wonder if she really gone for good hmm

I think what happened is that the raccoonicorns ate Opaline. You know, kinda like how your pets are planing to eat you when you die, but you’re not mad about it because you know they think you’d do the same?

I actually forgot all about Allura until reading this comment

You do believe an alicorn can survive a castle coming down on one's head? Well, true, there have been miracle pockets before.
But by this logic, you know who else is not dead? AJ's parents. Maybe also Sunny's parents. And others...

5769619
Well... Interesting... If the tree has been rotting, what are the chances that Opaline was able to escape?

5769627
I should be more clear (I edited my other post accordingly): Unlike AJ's parents, Opaline's fate has not been treated like a death, ala AJ's parents. She's just gone.

Ok, is no one else freaking out about the fact that Sunny, while looking at Twilights Cutie mark, called it the “Starscout Crest”? Cause I am! Does this mean that Sunny is related to Twilight!? I need more lore.

Then a bunch of clubbing Racoonicorns destroy everything.

That just seemed random.

Depends. Seems like it's been a while since Opaline's defeat. Depending on how long it took for the tree to rot away, she might've been trapped in its roots long enough to rot away with it. And that's assuming she wasn't crushed or suffocated by the tree when it trapped her in its roots.

Or, you know, TYT forgot a couple of details. Wouldn't be the first time a story has done that.

Lol, and yet Discord brought Sombra back with some kind of spell and circle rune. Even made it look easy enough for death to feel trivial in MLP.

Regardless, I think this discussion has been had before, and my take on it was whether or not Opaline returns depends on whether or not the writers feel like bringing her back.

It's been, what, two months since she's last appeared? Doesn't exactly bode well for her as a character if we're already forgetting about her. Hell, I'm blanking on the names of any of the ponies from Starlight Ridge.

Perhaps she was wisked away somewhere, sans cutie mark.

5769635
We have had suspicions. I mean, her book in the movie had Twilight's CM. Although at ZH's station thingy, that "Starscout Crest" was in the window panes. So why didn't they call it Twilight's Cutie Mark!? Because then it'd get expensive (again, that old discussion on Hasbro losing the rights to names/designs to another party).

It was certainly a wild one, but I suspect this is the next major arc.

It's a kid's show duuuhhh:rainbowwild:

but seriously, I feel this as well, just leave it as a creepy ruin.

or they are vaporized Sombra-style

Sombra was shattered and exploded in s03, and yet in s09 they said that he was merely "banished to the ether" when referring to s03 events

Starscout Crest is yellow, Twilight's CM is purple. That said, it's likely because they want to avoid licensing issues.

Hell, I'm blanking on the names of any of the ponies from Starlight Ridge.

Glad I’m not the only one, when my sister asked the name of Aurora Frost I drew a complete blank for a while.

Speaking of forgetting the names, it’s Violet Frost, not Aurora Frost. I’m not going to edit because irony
