PEPPERMINT TWIST
This week, I have been posting a few essays inspired by Call of the Cutie. I felt Peppermint Twist deserved her own post.
Call of the Cutie is the only episode where she speaks, and she hardly even appears in later episodes, (except I think as a background pony on rare occasion).
What I love about cutie marks is that their magic is, at once, a great cosmic mystery, and an intimate revelation of self.
In a way, isn't that what we are all seeking? An affirmation from the universe? To make sense of ourselves in the context of our world.
I think perhaps my favorite thing about writing is when the characters (or story in general) take me by surprise. I know it's hardly the meat of the story, but discovering "The Pinkbeard Chronicles," Rose's favorite book series, has been an absolute delight for this very reason. It tickles me every time.
The moral of "Hearth's Warming Eve," both the holiday and the episode, is that the working class of every race have more in common with each other than they do with their respective tyrannical leaders.
It was on this very principle that the nation of Equestria was founded. The friendship of Clover the Clever, Smart Cookie, and Private Pansy was, in and of itself, an act of revolution.
I just re-watched Swarm of the Century. For those who don't remember, in this episode, adorable little creatures called parasprites are introduced as pets to various members of the main cast. Everypony goes goo-goo for these cuties...except for Pinkie Pie. She's the one who knows what they're called. She's the one who leaps immediately to action.
