I often have the strange desire to balance random objects on my head.

E

She's an evil enchantress!
She does evil dances!
And if you look deep into her eyes,
She will put you in trances!
Then what will she do?
She'll mix up an evil brew!
And she'll gobble you up
In a big tasty stew!

But would Pinkie Pie really say something so mean about somepony she's never met?

Turns out, she's got a reason for every line in that song.

Simply amazing.
This better explains why pinkie would act the way she did when we first see zecroa in the show.

Well, this certainly fills in a few blanks. Rhyming could have stood improving, however, having had to do such recently, I'll not complain too loudly. I'll use this vid for my rating (Pinkie's bit that is):

Thanks. :twilightsmile:

Yeah, the rhyming was tough in some parts. There are some sentences that just make me really annoyed because I can't figure out a way to make them smoother without losing meaning. I almost considered formatting all of Zecora's lines like this:

Nightmare Night? I cannot say
I meant to decorate that way.
Where I’m from, these masks and rugs
Are used to make our homes seem snug.

But then, when the syllable count's off (ack, another problem), it would just look weird.

One thing's clear; I have much work to do if I ever decide to become a poet.

Well, that's certainly one way to explain the prejudice during "Bridle Gossip."

If only Zecora had any idea how gullible Pinkie could be at times... :facehoof:

Most of the rhymes were fairly good in my opinion (I have diffuculty when I try to rhyme, so I can respect that you pulled it off as well as you did), but this piece of dialogue seems a little off:

Zecora’s eyes widened. “I am sorry. Are we truly? To say ‘none’ was quite unruly. I thought that since we did not know each other well, it was not so. I meant not to lower your morale; I did not know that we were pals.”

If there's a rhyme in that sentence, I can't seem to find it...

Anyway, thanks for writing! :twilightsmile:

Given the events of Luna Eclipsed, I'm going to go with "yes." She can get caught up in feeding the crowd's reactions and not paying attention to the feelings of the target of the fear.

Still, as good an explanation as any, here.

Agh, that's the one sentence I was worried about. It does have a rhyme, but it's not during a natural break in speaking:

I thought that since we did not know
Each other well, it was not so.

It kinda sucks, but it was the only way I could think of to say it. :raritydespair:

Thank you for explaining that. Now I just feel like a little bit of a dunce for not seeing it sooner, but now I can properly "hear" Zecora saying that in my head.
