@Seraph: While I feel the M6 are somewhat at fault here for not really treating Discord like a friend, Discord didn't really treat the M6 as friends either. If you want to be a friend, then you should probably act like one. Twi should have really called him out on that BS.

@kyler: Considering he's just now learning about companionship, I think that's true. I think Tirek realized how naive Discord was about any sort of companionship and took advantage of that. Discord got greedy and wanted both a friend and being able to do whatever he wanted, and took the bait.

Honestly, my biggest fear with Three's a Crowd was that either Twilight or Discord would end up holding the Jerkass Ball so the fact that it ended without either of them sliding heavily towards being a Jerkass made me feel relieved. Yeah, this should've been split into two separate episodes and it would've been nice if Cadance wasn't a Doom Magnet for once, but I ended up enjoying the episode a lot.

@Seraphem: It's true that she isn't treating him like a friend, but the reason she's acting like that is because she's reacting to him being... well, him. I mean, yeah, she's grumpy in Three's a Crowd, but honestly she kinda has reason to be. He's basically imposing on her for no reason and making her go to a lot of trouble for his sake without really needing to. Honestly, all things considered, Twilight was actually treating him pretty well; most people wouldn't have done the whole "put my plans on hold to travel to the edge of the country to find a magic flower" thing for somebody who was being as annoying as Discord was. The short version is that Twilight wasn't treating him like a friend because she has no reason to consider him one.

The important step that Twilight took towards befriending him was realizing that even though she mostly did it to shut him up, she did do something nice for him, and that he really did appreciate that she went to the trouble. It's not much, but for Discord it's the first real indication she's had that it is possible to have a real friendship with him.

That's the point, both sides are at fault with that. Mane 6 and Discord. But Discord knows the others only pretend to tolerate him for the sake of Fluttershy and have no interest in being friend with him. So makes sure to point out their hypocrisy and double dealing. While at the same time being blind to just why they don't trust him. The going to the ends of Equestria just to heal him, could also be looked at not as doing so to aid a sick friend. But rather it would be the quickest way to get him the buck out of her mane.

Come to think of it, I agree that Cadance needs a focus episode where something terrible doesn't happen. Every time she shows up, something ends up ruining the day.

EDIT: I'm going to bed. Haven't been getting enough sleep.

Why-y-y-y-y must my sister's dog bark so much in the middle of the night? Is my neighbor (or some furry mammal outside) that much of a threat? AT LEAST TWO of my family members are trying to sleep! My mom's a light sleeper, so I know Callie bitch (Hey, before you get offended, I'm using "bitch" in its original meaning of "female dog") will wake up my momma, because my mom's s light sleeper, and Callie's at least a hundred times louder than me. Should I just put her in her cage? Also Regular Show is my favorite Western Animation as of now.

On topic of Pony: The season 4 finale of Pony is n-now my favorite pony episode. <3

AL-FCKKING-SO, why didn't it correct "aldo" to "also"? I despise Aldo, along with allllll his rape opologists........

Yeah, Twi was actually being quite nice to a guy that just randomly shows up to ruin you and your sistr-in-law's bonding time for the lols.

I would have just told him gtfo and thank you very much.

Aldo? You mean Aldo Kelrast, that creepy stalker guy from a Mary Worth storyline some years back, who received an "intervention" (against being a stalker? From people he doesn't know?) and then drove off a cliff?

Anyway, yeah, Discord really had trouble grasping the whole "actually being a friend" thing.

Which is why inspiring him to put more effort into it, and have faith in what that means to him, got Twilight her key. Magic is Friendship.

I have a message from another time...

You misspelled Rainbow Dash. :P

And since JT's already gone to bed, I'll say we both misspelled "Twilight" in his place.

Post of the Day #751

Sorry guys, can I just interrupt for a second,

The two Earths in my crew. One (Coconut) is a sort of 'Pony Tarzan' who's earthy colours (green, brown, maybe yellow), lives in a treehouse in the dangerous jungles of the islands, and is good with nature. The other is a pony 'dwarf' sailor type who builds machines powered by soda (or maybe rum) and has 'metallic' colours.

This a good enough contrast?
