Watching "The Gift of the Maud Pie!"
Another boutique? Rarity is more successful than Filthy Rich!
You would think she would already have a closet full of fancy rock pouches.
6 minutes in, the visual gags and animation in this episode are magnificent.
From Maud's perspective, it would be easy to interpret this as "sister tries to hook me up with one of her friends most awkward psssd gift ever."
Too bad the shop owner is such a good great-uncle.
Boulder is just jealous.
I see you, Miss Smarty Pants.
I don't ship it, I'm just saying the shipping fics write themselves.
She likes the crack.
Ohhh this is gonna be where the title reference comes in.
Pinkie you have like 65 of those things.
Pinkie. You still have like 64 more party canons.
She's ecstatic, she loves her new pouch and it looks fabulous on her!
Maud is insistent.
Ride those swans!!! >:D
Maud is pissed.
Frick dude Maud is stone cold Maud doesn't take shit from anypony. o_o
Aww see she smiled.
Best episode ever! Maud was so expressive in this episode though, maybe OOC.
Next up on Wakfu:
You're a god, Harry!
I really need to learn how the cosmology of the world of 12 works.
Now for the final part: Wakfu in space! I didn't really understand what the deal with Ogrest's dragons was, but I doubt subtitles would make me understand any better. Anyway, what a ride. It's hard to imagine a season 3 following from this though. Now I need to find a place where I can watch the Nox and Ogrest specials.

Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayFinally watched the season premiere! While not as climactic as the other season premieres were, I thought it was really good. I love Starlight now, and Sunburst was an interesting character.
Also, twilight's parents finally spoke. after all these years.
As for lore, it's definitely confirmed that unicorns all have inherent magical power, and it looks like Sunburst didn't have the ability to use the spells. Plus the princesses weren't born alicorns, which I personally don't like but it's whatever.
Anyway, good season opening. I like it.
"There's not a girl alive who wouldn't be happy being called cute." ~Tamamo-no-Mae@Story: I think the deal with the dragons is that Dofus are supposed to be Dragon Eggs, so I guess maybe they each had a dragon associated with them? Or... maybe they're Dragon Dofus as opposed to Yugo Eliatrope Dofus? I have only a vague recollection.
Also, I think the reason Yugo doesn't look any older is because he's a demigod, so he just got up to a certain point and stopped. I'm not sure why it picked 14, though.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.Well, since his species is nigh immortal, slow puberty is not unexpected. Yugo is the Eliatrope kid?
The story with Ogrest as best as I can tell is Ogrest ate the six dragon's eggs because of parental abandonment issues and became super powered. He then uses the eggs to control the dragons they belong to. I know, not much to go on.
Good grief. I was on call for work yesterday and it was possibly the busiest I've ever had. But now I finally had time to watch the episode. It was cute. I was certain early on Pinkie was going to end up banned from the city, though.
Rarity is now obligated to do impersonations of Twilight, Fluttershy, Rainbow Dash and Spike as well. She's got time, I think the Element Bearer Emeritus of Generosity can figure out a couple of gifts to give.
There is no beginning. There is no end. There is only... Hooty.twilight's parents finally spoke. after all these years.
... Twilight and Shiny had a complicated childhood.
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayYeah, that is a silly reason to dislike the episode.
The only episode where I feel like They Wasted A Perfectly Good plot really applied was Dragon Quest (inb4 Sera starts ranting about the Equestrian Games again)
Blind Final Fantasy 6 Let's PlayHere, let me deflect for you! *Flails arms wildly.* Reflections! Failout Equestria!
Error 404: World Not Found.
FE: New Mystery Only Feet 7PM PT Sun, Mon, Fri; Umamusume Haru Arima 7PM PT Wed, Thurs: http://www.twitch.tv/kuroitsubasatenshiwhat is the literal definition of the words that were spoken
According to a transcript of the episode:
- Princess Celestia: The birth of an Alicorn is something Equestria has never seen!
- Princess Luna: It is beyond even our understanding.
Obviously, it's something very rare if it hasn't occurred once in 1,000 or more years. However, the only thing it concretely says is that it happened last before Equestria, and that Luna and Celestia don't understand it. Given that they've already proven to be intensely long-lived(They don't appear to have aged at all in a millennium), they could easily have been alive for hundreds if not thousands of years before the founding of Equestria. They obviously wouldn't have any understanding of their own infancy, if they were born Alicorns then that's still only two parentages, which is not enough to form a concrete pattern. So nothing they said rules them out from having been born Alicorns.
That having been said, I can very easily see how someone might come to that conclusion, and nothing they said writes them off from not having been born Alicorns, which means this whole argument goes into the Headcanon vault and becomes a silly thing to be upset over.

Birthright: an original web novel about Dragons, the Burdens of Leadership, and Mangoes.In short, it doesn't outright contradict Celestia and Luna being born as alicorns, but it does suggest that they weren't.

Time to watch the Wakfu OV As. These are twice as long as normal episodes, so I'm not sure I'll bother rewatching them with subtitles afterwards. Then again, I might. It's a tough decision.
Anyway, first up: Adventures in Popsicle Land.
How come Adamai looks different but Yugo didn't visibly age at all? He should be like 20 now, so how come he's still a kid? It's especially strange when you consider Chibi and Eleine? growing up.
I am impressed by Tristepin and Amalia's ability to walk around barefoot and barechested in the artic without even shivering.
Adventuring avec des enfants. No way this can possibly go wrong.
That scene where Pinpin rescues the kids was cool and all, but why didn't Yugo do it? ... Oh right, he rushed off to warn Amalia.
Wonder if Amalia will keep the Elsa gettup.
Also, how did Jorris get overpowered and replaced with an imposter? It's hard to imagine him losing a fight with anything.
