I don't know WHAT the Hell happened (I blame shenanigans) but we're going to start from scratch. Post your feels for this awesome show again! Naow!

Ya think with a pony like that he wouldn't be afraid of butterflies and butterflies are the most harmless of insects that we have.

See, the .MOV series and Fi W are too much for me because they seem to have this jarringly cynical and mean-spirited tone that really doesn't fit in, I think, with the spirit of the show.

I'm pretty sure that's the point of those series.

Cynicism and cuteness is always a go to comedy combination on the internet, Though it's a pretty cheap and blase combination in my eyes.

[up]There is a difference between intimidation and fear.

think Snowflake works actually. It fits with the personality they're building for him.

The only connection he even has to snow is that he's white. It's the last thing you think about when you see him.

Then why even have Intimidate as a separate ability? Is that just from older cards, or what?

[up][up]Yep. Fear was in since the beginning of the game, but then they made intimidate, which has replaced it for all future cards.

Just like Soarin or Spitfire or Blossomforth or Scootaloo.

@Orion: what, like the Aurora Borealis?

I dunno if I'd call it a weather thing, per se? I mean, if I recall correctly it's radiation hitting the atmosphere and getting wonky, and it only happens at certain latitudes under set conditions, so it's not like it's a randomly occuring meteorological whatsit. It's more astronomical.

About whether or not it would be reasonable to at least be cautious around Equestrian butterflies, there was that butterfly in Find A Pet that used hypnotic powers on Opal. Now we don't know if that one was representative of all butterflies/moths, if only monarch butterflies can do that in Equestria, or if that one specific butterfly could do that, but that could certainly be a reason for Snowflake to be afraid of them if he thinks that they're going to mess with his mind.

Well, since she actually curls up into a ball this episode, there's just a lot more fodder for those jokes.
