I'm always a big fan of the concept of "misinterpreted" cutie marks. I mean, children look at the world through very simplistic eyes. The idea that yes, Velvet is a good dancer and that is true, but it's more than that is actually genuinely a fascinating concept to me.

Of course, the extra layer of comedy is just gold. But there are some heartfelt moments in here that I actually really, really appreciate. Crystal and Velvet's friendship is one of my favorite things ever and you captured it with sincerity.

The scene with her walking into the bakery was actually legitimately a teensy bit chilling at first, but of course made right as rain with the revelation of the crime... All in all, a great blend of serious and comedy in my book (hurr hurr).
