RAINBOW DASH: Still think I'm all ego and hype? When Rainbow Dash says she's the most athletic pony in Ponyville, she means it!

Pinkie: Wait… so you're telling me there were other adventures we got up to in between Twilight getting her castle and Starlight joining our harem posse?!? And our audience never got to see them?!?
Stop the presses! This calls for an emergency cupcake! And perhaps an emergency party. Okay, definitely an emergency party.
So… where do I start?
So fuckin' blow those words out the back in your head,
I've heard it all and I'm done with that shit,
You tell me lies, and you get what you get,
So blow those fuckin' words out the back in your head.
Oh my God did you just hear
Lies are coming back in style?
Oh my God this seems so real that they find you,
And confine you
So shut your mouth, we've heard it all.
Hypocrite's and critics all
Can fuck off we do this for our souls,
Our souls.
What they say, won't make us go away.
I'm starting to notice I tend to put the mane six into certain roles whenever I write them into my stories or imagine new concepts. Here are some examples:
Applejack
Roles I tend to imagine her in: Isolation, Mare of Action, Combat
ok everyone i just finished my largest one shot story (7.620 Words) the sequal to "Your Perfect Muffin" and the next chapter in my Romantic Equestria Series. I've have been working several hours to bring you Romantic Equestria: The Color Pink a heart warming tale starring
Trying my hand at blog-style review posts. Wish me luck!
Given the audience here, this is written assuming the reader has already seen the episode. Which just means it isn't spoiler free (though getting spoiled on this won't affect your enjoyment either way, I'd wager) and skips past a lot of the boring plot stuff.
Time for more thoughts on this episode! Like every week, I have done some afterthoughts on it. It's not as much as in other weeks, but I could still discover some interesting things:
This episode continues in an unexpected way after the end of last week's episode. Last week, I said how it shows that Twilight has really become like Celestia when it's about putting ponies on the right path because she did that with Rainbow Dash and that she is truly ready to rule Equestria. After this episode now, I'm not so sure anymore if she is ready and I'm questioning if Twilight will really be a good ruler for Equestria.
TWILIGHT: "Yes! Finally, I'm a Princess!"
SPIKE: "...Where's the punchline, Twilight? We're all waiting."
TWILIGHT: "Punchline? I'm a Princess now, Spike. I can't go around tossing out quips and jokey asides."
SPIKE: "But... just last episode you were all snarky and remarking for characters of the day to not come back! What happened?!?"
*Five minutes of ranting later*
*Takes deep breaths* Sorry about that folks, I just needed a moment to compose myself. Anyways, Rainbow Dash is in the midst of coaching Pickle and Barley the basics of flight maneuvers. Which leads us to wonder how their training is coming about.
About as well as we expect.
And now we've gotten more to dissect. I just said on Friday how this was the last analyzis for a while and now there's already new stuff!
The synopsis for Episode 10 has been released and, wow, it sounds exciting! I'll talk about it after the break (hopefully, because I have no idea if these lines are enough):
This episode gives me a huge "Apple Family Reunion" vibe, already at the beginning when we see how early Applejack woke them all up to get ready for the confluence, which makes me really nostalgic and choked up as it reminds me on Season 3, when My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic was still young.
REMANE 5: "Surprise!"
RARITY: "Wha...! But, I... what are you all doing here? You're cutting into valuable screentime for me to chew the scenery! I was saving all that for the episode's last third!"
RAINBOW DASH:"Heh, looking back at this, Twilight, you might say that you needed help learning how to train your dragon!"
TWILIGHT: "Oh, sweet Celestia, reverse my alicornhood and kill me now..."
GRANNY SMITH: "Eh, what were we hugging for here again, Apple Bloom?"
APPLE BLOOM: "Don't ya remember, Granny Smith? I had a crisis of faith and didn't want to bring you to school, so I pretended to be sick, tried to speed up the harvest, controlled you while you were asleep, and faked a message from Uncle Apple Strudel!"
DISCORD: "Finally! Oh, you silly little ponies have no idea how infuriating it's been to sit on the sidelines while you all deliver uninspired opening zingers! Well, except for Pinkie, that meta one back for 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' and Twilight's response was gold. Now, I can show you all how it's really done - "
TWILIGHT: "Would you look at that, Spike! Our opening screenshot shows off that most useful of animation principles - smearing! Okay, it's mostly wind, but it counts! How often do you see that in Flash?"
SPIKE: "..."
TWILIGHT: "...you don't know what smearing is, do you?"
SPIKE: "...No..."
I found the Equestria Girls minis toy line at Walmart the other day and I love them! They are my favorite version of the Equestria Girls dolls that Hasbro has put out so far because they look the most like the actual characters. I also like that they are cute and proportioned similar to an anime chibi character.
This is what the Equestria Girls Minis look like.
MLP Fakies: Aliexpress Magic Doll Figure Toys
There is a company called Aliexpress that makes unlicensed MLP toy figures. Although I would usually say to support Hasbro and try to buy their products before you buy things from other companies, I feel that in the case of Aliexpress an exception can be made.
