great, now the song's stuck in my head again.

They're very spoopy.

Back from the work and stuff.

I probably should've done this earlier, but I get to watch the last two episodes now so I don't have to avoid spoilers anymore. First up: Discord!

This is some of the most awkwardly forced laughter I've seen since CNN anchors.

They invited Fluttershy back to the gala? That had to be pushed through by Trollestia herself.

Okay, between the time travel comic, Fluttershy's overenthusiastic tea talk, and Discord's weird passive-aggressive jealousy, they have to be fucking by now. I've seen Michael Bay movies more subtle than this.

Wake up with the King.

Jesus Christ, they invited the CMC to the gala? Is Tia trying to destroy Equestria?!

It's okay Dashie. She only blew her nose on the green strands.

Apple Bloom just sassed Discord. So hey, no more CMC episodes! :D

Huh. I'm surprised they got away with an MGS reference that obvious.

Wow. Discord is the worst kind of customer ever.

HOLY SHIT. CALL MTV CRIBS. RIGHT NOW.

The mail always finds a way. It might be one-way. But it's a way.

Is Discord seriously gonna bring the mailpony?

...Well. They're determined to get their money's worth on the Gen 1 rights. But I don't remember the Smooze being so...dapper.

C'mon Twilight, don't be so racist. Smooze is a race, right? It's probably somewhere in 4e, God knows they didn't have enough playable races already.

The CMC have a much less interesting Gala song than S1.

Tree Hugger prefunked somthing fierce.

Fluttershy...might have some serious hots for her. That was some intense daydream-staring.

The fucking sitar just makes this.

Fluttershy just Vapo-Rubbed that bitch.

I'm not sure what's weirder about this moment. Fluttershy's obliviousness, or Discord honestly not expecting her to geek out over the Smooze a bit and then just roll with it.

Dat awkward Flutterscrunch.

Huh. I'm surprised Rarity is just complaining in a mildly irritated manner. I expected her to be losing her shit under the circumstances.

Full frontal Rarity.

...Why does the castle store all of its valuables in an unlocked broom closet adjacent to the main foyer?

Aaaaand cringe humor.

Oh damn. You know you're rock bottom when you get burned by Maud.

I feel like the kid staring at Smooze Door is a reference to something, but I can't pin down what.

...what the fucking hell did hippie pony just do

...What the fuck? I mean...what?! Okay, I totally want a blind bag of the Mexican snake sock puppet now.

I love how they just leave hippie pony dangling on the precipice of scary puppet land while they have their lovers' spat.

So at this point, I'm sure somepony out there is drawing R34 of a Flutterhugger-Discosmooze foursome.

Pinkie steps in with quite possibly the best last-second moral in the series. Also Smooze dances like Baby Groot.

...Trollestia confirmed for canon.

What is the deal with Baby Groot? I never saw GOTG.

Go see it. Like, Redbox that shit. You won't regret it.

So next — worldbuilding! But only in a metaphorical sense. Only Pinkie Pie can do the literal one.

Nopony told Pinkie the health inspectors were coming today.

Arse-sense is tingling!

The Griffins sound suspiciously Ottoman. imokaywiththis.jpg

Presumably Dash didn't used to be this racist, so I can only assume Gilda is a racist oven.

Twilight mad.

Dat griffon book.

God dammit Pinkie.

So Twilight didn't just write a guide. She wrote the whole thing in completely unnecessary purple prose. Best Princess.

Turns out Griffonstone isn't just classical Eastern Europe. It's modern Eastern Europe too! Who likes poorly-kept brutalist architecture? WE DO.

"Gilda." "Dash." "NEWMAN."

Okay. Gilda's grand return is awesome. Also, this sort of epic worldbuilding is exactly what I was hoping for with the Friendship-Errant theme this season.

So Pinkie is talking to everyone in town first, and Dash has her inventory priorities straight. Between them they've got a clean 100% run coming! And if they don't wait up for each other they're both, like, double-dead.

So the map didn't send Twilight because she would've had a lethal heart attack at the sight of the library, and they don't find the Safety Bit until they hit the Smooze Cultists' Tower a bit later.

Pinkie just made a pass at a statue. Well, we always knew her family got a little too close to rocks sometimes...and apparently older dudes of another species.

The sign doesn't really mean no singing, it just means "Fuck this guy."

Pinkie's hair can cleave imprints in stone.

You know, the griffonscones look gross, but it might actually be super-tasty to griffons. Like, maybe it's regurgitated mush and gravel for easy digestion.

So...Griffonstone is basically just a dying city, and everyone's hoarding bits because they're trying to bail.

Ironically, Gilda might be the biggest closet idealist in the city, in her own bitchsauce way. That's kind of a nice twist.

And Dash is stranded. The next episode is tentatively titled "127 Hours".

God dammit Pinkie. God dammit.

D'aww. Gilda used to be a Fluttershy. Of course, that means Dash was probably her bad influence...

GOD DAMMIT PINKIE.

Holy shit. Gilda is super buff.

Last Crusade moment: check.

So the crystal map really just wanted a chef. Also Gilda gets to rebuild a city entirely on her own. HARMONY.

"Who are you talking to?" "Nopony! ...Technically."

And then Pinkie goes home to her stash of saucy pictures of historical monuments.

Okay. So those two episodes were fun, if a bit odd. The Discord one was super-weird with this awkward pseudo-romantic triangle, but whatever. Griffonstone was solid. I was hoping for some dungeoneering, and I'm a bit bummed that didn't happen, but what they did instead worked.

Sounded like normal tour book language to me.

Also the sock puppet's name is apparently Senior Huevos.

That..., just

I don't get it.

They really called him that?

Well, Jayson Thiessen said that on Twitter. Must have been an in-joke when they were making the scene.

Behold your king.

@Story: According to google Huevos means 'eggs', but has a super strong connotation with balls. Like, gentleman balls.

So one could be gracious and assume his name is Mr. Eggs, which is humorous in and of itself. alternatively, one could not be gracious and assume his name is Mr. Balls. Mr. Goolies. Mr. Jewels. Mr. Two-vege. Mr. Nuts.

I prefer Mr. Nuts.

Whelp, to the Radar page, away!

[60s Batman theme intensifies]

Scratch that I want to run it through lost and found first

The best episode of Senior Huevos is when he brings in his French cousin, Monsieur Baguette!

Hon Hon Hon.

I wonder how Seabreeze feels about Treezie.

Seabreeze: HERDY HERDY FLERDY FLOOPEN BORK BORK BORK!

A surprisingly civilised response.

Of course :P

Anyway HOLY MOLY we got a lot of rain last night. My grandpa said we got 7 inches.
