And now... the dream I just had. · 12:31pm Feb 15th, 2013
So... who wants to hear about my dream?
I just had a dream about the MLP Season 3 finale. I sleep right next to my computer so when I awoke from the dream, I was immediately able to transcribe it.
First, a little background about me and my dreams:
- Adam is my best friend and roommate. We split rent on an apartment in LA together.
- It is very VERY common for me to have 'dreams within dreams.' I've never seen Inception, and I have no need to. Because it's that way for me every. goddamn. night.
- I have been dreading the S3 finale ever since I first heard that it would involve Alicorn Twilight. Adam is remaining cautiously optimistic about it.
- Adam has been trying to get me to read Homestuck for eons now, but I refuse to. Every time I try, I can't get past the first act. Which sucks. Balls.
All that out of the way, let's get to the dream I managed to transcribe!
Started off as a “Prince and the Pauper” starring some guy I didn’t know taking place in some halfway run down-dilapidated city with a shit ton of graffiti on the walls. Story was cut short when the guy taking the place of the prince was mugged. IRONY!!! :D
Next day, me and my roommate Adam are walking through town. It is the day of the MLP S3 finale. Apparently, somebody made a homestuck reference in a piece of graffit. Set of sunglasses? Adam points out. Also, on other side of street, notice another Homestuck graffiti that is that one guy in the story that likes rainbow dash wearing sunglasses. Next to him is rainbow, also wearing sunglasses. Looks like it was drawn by a 2 year old. just like all homestuck. BA-ZING!!
We get to the orphanage? Boarding house? Where we live? And all the other people there are getting ready to watch the MLP season 3 finale. Weirdly enough, on the TV is the Prince and the Pauper story again, but now it’s making MLP references. Weirdly, I am not bothered, until there is some sort of poster displaying a “prophecy?” that has Alicorn Twilight on it (Twilight’s wings are barely visible, but still there)
I turn away from TV at this point, only to get onto EQD and see that, even though it is still going on behind me, apparently the S3 finale sucked. Hard. People are raging left and right in the comments and entire brony sites are being taken down. I turn the computer off to take a nap.
I dream within the friggin dream. Adam and I are in some sort of rustic cabin, sitting in the way we always do on the couch across from the big TV. There is a new MLP S3 finale clip available on EQD (because in this segment of the dream it hasn’t aired yet). Twilight is not yet an alicorn. She ends up dressed in a bunch of mismatched clothing with the help of Fluttershy and Rainbow Dash at Fluttershy’s cottage. She falls behind a couch, and then gets out from behind it dressed like Jessica Rabbit. WTF.
I get off the couch and move into the kitchen, where I observe a small, eight-inch boxy TV. For some reason it’s muted. It’s showing classic cartoons of Tom & Jerry and Bugs Bunny and such. Upon observing it, I am pulled out of the secondary dream, only to end up back in the boarding house? Orphanage? Where we live?
I am depressed. I also missed the finale, though people are still crowded around the TV. I pull up my laptop and get onto a brony site.
(BTW, it’s a lie that in dreams writing appears upside-down and backwards. It clearly was not.)
Apparently, what happened in the finale was that it sucked really hard, because not only did it speed through the whole “cutie mark switch” thing way faster than it should, making it make no sense and not have a proper resolution, but it also did the Alicorn Twilight thing in mere minutes, before Celestia assigned Twilight and co. a new mission. Apparently, the ‘Equestria Girls’ spinoff is actually a SEQUEL SHOW to the now-cancelled MLP:FiM.
The premise of Equestria Girls? The mane six basically act as the fricking sliders, and hop throughout a ton of human dimensions, battling with giant monsters and getting into giant mech suits and things, like Gundam.
Now that I’m awake, I realize how awesome that sounds. In dream, it was the WORST POSSIBLE THING.
(But I mean really, if that’s how the show were going to continue, I’d be fine with that. Sure, it would be a complete departure from the original show’s theme and premise, but if you’re going to jump the shark you oughta do so in the most AWESOME way possible right? I want to jump that fucking shark on an acme rocket, hammering a keytar with my hair on fire!)
Also, at some point, during the article, several things stood out. There was a mention of the name “Owen” at one point. Also, there was a creative description of Hasbro stealing applejack’s hat and using it to brush all of the fans aside. Lastly, apparently towards the end of the episode, Human!Pinkie Pie was constantly adjusting her bra straps, basically flashing the audience. (I can understand how that last thing could be a problem with Equestria Girls should it happen)
So, I get really depressed. Again. Suddenly, one of the other people in the orphanage? Boarding house? Steps up behind me and asks if I’m okay. She’s a girl with long blonde hair wearing a blue turtleneck. I can’t recall much else. She puts her hand on my back as I hunch over the computer and asks if I’m okay.
I tell her that I want to quit ponies and that I am sick of them because they started really going downhill ever since Season 3 started (this is almost my actual sentiment at this point), and now this travesty of a finale happened. But I can’t because all of my friends are all so into ponies and they won’t stop talking about them and I don't want to lose my friends.
She agrees with my sentiment and claims that “Owen” already did his review on the finale episode and everybody agrees it was a travesty (Who the fuck is Owen?!). She offers some comforting words, but I am abruptly ‘woken up’ AGAIN, and pulled BACK into the rustic cabin from before.
There, it seems I’ve, once more, slept through the finale. Adam is sitting next to me, staring at the TV with a blank look on his face and his mouth hanging open. I sit in my easy chair next to the couch he’s on and start begging, almost on bended knee to tell me what happened and to please tell me the finale didn’t suck, but he won’t speak at all. He turns to look at me and suddenly his face starts twisting into a creepy joker-like grin, like one of those TF2 Garry's Mod monsters.
And then I awoke.
For real this time.
So, great. Now Alicorn Twilight can even find me in my dreams it seems... Also, I can't get back to sleep now. >_<
I am WAY more invested in this show than is healthy, obviously. I'm literally losing sleep over it
AND WHO THE FUCK IS OWEN?!!!!
Heh. Your mind is a wonderful thing. Though, if it bothers you so much once the episode airs, just make a fanfiction recanting the whole thing. I'm sure plenty of others are already prepping their stories just in case.
Also, Owen is your devil side. He hides in the recesses of your mind and only is mentioned in the barest of whispers. Fear Owen...
Yeah, Act 1 is kind of a drag for folks who don't find derping around with data structures funny...
Oh, right, the dream. Weird. Here's hoping it isn't prophetic.
