A thread to discuss My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic and the tie-in media.

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!

Just finished the episode. Sweetie really blew things out of proportion, especially considering it's partially her fault for not telling Rarity about the play sooner (I mean, I'm a terrible procrastinator, but if someone else needs to know something I'll tell them long before the day before).

I actually wasn't expecting Luna to show up, though looking back it makes perfect sense considering her own sister problems. The whole dream sequence was also wonderfully surreal. And I can't be the only one who got Ghost of Christmas Past/Present/Yet To Come vibes from her.

The ending was really funny. I didn't know Apple Bloom's tail could be used as a zipline! [lol] And Luna having to make sure Sweetie Belle knew they weren't in a dream anymore is just begging for an Inception joke.

Now that I think of it, I wonder what role Luna plays in prophetic dreams and things like it.

Statler and Waldorf chime in.

[up]Well, she wanted to do it all herself, but I think the most she was expecting was for Rarity to touch it up, rather than completely redesign them.

There's so much potential for things to go horribly wrong in this episode. Rarity's breakdown, Sweetie Belle turning into The Resenter (if not Nightmare Moon III) I can expect the AU Dark Fic pouring in.evil grin

it's partially her fault for not telling Rarity about the play sooner (I mean, I'm a terrible procrastinator, but if someone else needs to know something I'll tell them long before the day before).

It wasn't procrstnating so much as wanting to do the whole thing on her own, and not bugging Rarity about it until it was clear that that wasn't going to happen.

I have a message from another time...

Just beat Fire Emblem Awakening once :D My avatar shanked Grima, although the last hit dealt in-battle was by her husband in dual strike.

Seriously that game is major shipper's paradise.

It's interesting how different SB and Rarity's perspectives are. Rarity is confident that she's fabulous, but she's acutely aware of how much further she needs to go in order to really "make it", and she might be just one poorly received outfit away from a total breakdown. While Sweetie just thinks Rarity is already an impossibly perfect standard to live up to.

@JT: It's like how the knowlessmen perceive us IT people, they think we're like those doods who can dance through codes and raise computers from the dead, but actually we're just often winging it and praying we diagnosed the machine's symptoms right.

@Ace I usd to play that on my brother's 3ds. Of course it was lost recently (game and all). I plan on getting my own with a copy of the game.

The different perspectives in this episode were definitely really good. It's a great example of how the show can create a conflict that's believable from both sides, even when one side is clearly in the wrong.

But I thought this was a Sweetie Belle episode. I guess Rarity overshadowed her yet again.

You're both wrong. It was a Luna episode.

@Crowfall: We need to make that a meme. For every future Sweetiesode, we focus on how great the supporting characters are.

I find it somewhat ironic that Luna has problems with being overshadowed by Celestia, when in the fandom it's the exact opposite.

Finally saw the episode and I have to say it was pretty sweet episode if I do say so myself.
