APPLE BLOOM: "...Do you reckon this is an accurate depiction of how these episodes are written on a weekly basis?"
SCOOTALOO: "I don't know about that, but this certainly feel like an accurate depiction of how the cold opens for these reviews are done!"
CHEERILEE: "Don't get me wrong, I do love my students, but it's so hard finding ways to dispose of the overblown gifts they sometimes give me. I mean, what am I supposed to do, keep that thing in my tiny house? Not happening. Hey, don't judge me, at least I keep their gifts long enough for them to forget before I dispose of them."
The Following is part of an ongoing series reminiscing about the show.
You can find an index of all the entries here.
( For the sake of nostalgia, this post will contain songs from the episodes they’re from. You can find some of them all in my work-in-progress playlist of all the songs that really get to me.)
DISCORD: "Oh Twilight, you are a card! Why is it that you're always so glum and serious whenever I'm around, when you had this level of chaos in you? Oh, the things I missed in nearly 1.5 seasons of being in stone!"
TWILIGHT: "Discord... would you like to find out whether the 'Want It, Need It' spell works on draconequi?"
PINKIE PIE: "Wow, these shots were so much fun to do, Cranky! Why didn't we ever do more of this again in future episodes? Those educational videos weren't quite enough for me."
RAINBOW DASH [sighs blissfully]: "The only thing that could have made that moment any better was if I had been able to go into the book and join Daring Do on her adventure!"
DISCORD: "You rang? That can be arranged quite easily, my dear Rainbow Dash."
SWEETIE BELLE: "Wow. You just had to pause on that frame, didn't you? Look at my face! I look like you're creeping me out!"
RARITY: "You? What about me?!? Need I remind you that I ran an obstacle course covered in mud for you, my little sister?"
As the MC's mentor and initially last ruling alicorn, perhaps it was natural that Princess Celestia got the occasional cameo every now and again?
So way WAAAAAAAY back, I did a blog analyzing what we could see of Sunset's apartment, along with some speculation about how she paid for it. I considered this incomplete because we almost always saw Sunset's apartment from the same angle, and never saw one of the walls, so we couldn't confirm some of my speculations.
With the release of the "Costume Conundrum" short, I finally got some answers.
CHRYSALIS: "Finally! Ugh, that Nightmare Moon was too bland, and Discord jokes around too much. Time for you all to see what a real villain is like!"
