A peek behind the scenes at this chapter's first draft!
“I’d hit that. Okay, the game is Dodge City Double Blind. Princesses are high, Discord is wild, and no damn Chaos Orbs this time.”
AJ chuckled. “Rainbow, you’d hit a chunk of rubber tire you found in the road. Okay, I’m tapping both my swamps, puttin’ out a windigo, and I’m in for ten bits.”
“I might, at that. How hot is the tire?” I pushed a small pile of bits over towards Applejack, and looked at my cards. Nothing but lands, treys, and deuces. I kept my poker face on, though — a stoned AJ is pretty easy to bluff. “Seriously, though, I’m not in the mood tonight. One trip into the silent, horror-filled void a week is enough for me. Your turn.”
“Got any Tims?”
“Nope. Go fish.”

Consarn it! "Too silly?" he asks! "Too silly?"! This guy! Do you see what I have to work with?!
You know what the worst part is, by the sound of it, Dusk did it on purpose. Twilight may have done it accidentally but I don't think Dusk did. I blame him for all this.
This just in! Fluttershy's dick rips hole in universe! Sports at 11.

I'm sorry.
6760743 are you? ARE you?

No. Worth it.

Just a friendly point-out...
That bit stood out for me. The ponies of Equestria do know what a "boy" is.
First off, Twilight Sparkle often refers to her fellow Elements as "girls," so the corresponding gender would be there as well.
Second, Applejack has exclaimed, "boy, howdy!" as part on multiple occasions.

Hey, just because the show writers are inconsistent doesn't mean it's okay for me to be.No, wait, someone pointed out to me that I've used "boy" and "girl" elsewhere. I was WRONG.
But I'm keeping the line because it's funny, and there's a plot bunny I want to use about Discord in there, too.
Of course, the show writers are all "what's a hand" and "what's this word 'man'", so if they're inconsistent, maybe it's okay for me to be?
Yeah. That's the ticket.
: Oh, great. Your libido tore apart the fabric of space and time, Rainbow. I hope you're happy.
I'm shocked you didn't mention balls at any time during the sex. Also slightly disappointed.

I know, right? This was kind of a quickie sex scene, though. I'll do better next time, I promise.

DVD Extras, man! All thanks to my unpaid intern!
I'm in the same boat as Twi. We can't?
I have to admit, the tone this is written in just kills me (in a good way).
I think a scene like this happens in A Wind In The Door that left me quite unsettled as a child. The sky isn't supposed to tear like that!

Super huge honor to hear that, sir! Love your work.
Love this line.
