Sorry, small detail, but the inside of Dash's house: How much money does that girl fucking make!? She's got a fucking foyer! With Pillars! And statues!

i enjoyed it. even though our Daring Do character page is all but scrapped, i like this episode.

@dark: the first copy of the newest Daring Do book: Daring Do and the Ring of Destiny. the coolest thing? RD is on the cover with her hero.

I propose we can use the reveal of the author's identity as still being unknown to the editors, as if we who are editing it are still unaware that Yearling is Daring Do! ;)

So, isn't it a tad frightening that a villain from a book was real all along, and he may just come back with something else?

Well looks like I've missed the stream then and late to the party as well. So was the episode any good?

We're talking about a world where at least 2 goddesses interact with people, a god of chaos, and magic exists. I think that isn't far off.

Well great, my stream started skipping at the end. I'll have to rewatch once it's on youtube.

@Kegi: Well, her house is made of clouds, so who knows how easy it is to whip up a huge room with those.

Awesome, now we have canonical mad scientists and the like running around Equestria, with all sorts of pulpy goodness.

@ Kegi, well it is a Cloud House, so she likely just used scraps of clouds and built up over time. Lot cheaper then needing to build with real material.

So the episode, it was great. Just, again with having so SO many little details, so many great things, Dash's fangirling, her emotional turn, her self doubt and issues returning in a believable fashion, HELL YES!

I dunno, maybe, but they sure looked like real stone.

Then again, in another episode the stone inside her front door was beige, not blue, so maybe it's possible to dye clouds and she changes up the interior now and again.

Or they were different doors, I dunno.

Either way, the zoning on a house her size must not be inconsiderable...

@Crimson Okay then, I'll watch it on You Tube when it's available I guess.

@Kegi and Crowfall: Dashie customized her house with blocks of cloud Terraria style :D (yes, you can get Cloud Blocks and Cloud Block Backgrounds to make Cloud Houses a real thing, I've done that now that Version 1.2 is out!)

@crimsonstorm 15: I'd say the entirety of the book series under Daring Do has been scrapped as we got information on several of the books during Twilight and Dash's Egghead Battle. And even Daring Do's personality in this episode probably a little closer to the page's Derring Do than Daring Do.

As for the episode itself, I was waiting for the moment when A.K. Yearling would reveal this to be all one elaborate setup to overcome her writer's block. So the Daring Do series is actually real then...

I wonder if Daring will write Dash a bit more naturally into the story, because from the perspective of her readers its going to look like she just showed right the fuck up out of nowhere.

Interesting comment on EQD:

The beginning of the episode was a satire on what it looks like when bronies explain new season/episode hype to non-bronies, shoving it down their throats.

The middle of the episode was a satire on how much the fandom bugs the crap out of the people who write the show, and a narrative on how if the fans had their way, disaster will happen.

The finale of the episode was a narrative on how even though the fandom can be embarrassing and just plain in the way, the writers are nothing without their fans.

@Dash's new face: Oh dear... the Unfortunate Implications...

Anywho, I'm rather unsure how to think of this episode truth be told.

@ Kegi, we've seen he house is made of clouds, and it floats in the sky, so plenty of space. I could see her redecorating now and then whenever the mood struck her. Though, there has to be some enchantment on her stuff or the walls etc to keep the non cloud items from falling through.
