My eyes started to water at 15 seconds, then I blinked.

And now I see diagonal pink and green stripes.

"How naive to have imagined that the series ended at this point, in only three dimensions!"

The pattern is now burned into your retinas like an old flatscreen tv that was paused too long.

My eyes…ow

I didn't watch it because I thought it might be a "screamer."

I...don't get it. Did I miss something?

Also:

"Caption This Pic!" #7:

You know what would be great? If Hasbro did some outtakes on a number of MLPFIM episodes.

For example, at the end of "The Best Night Ever", Princess Celestia is spending time with the Mane 6. You could have outtakes showing Celestia having conversations with them "off the screen".

Take Rarity. I can imagine a conversation between the two going like this:

• Celestia: So, Rarity, what did you think about Blueblood?
• Rarity: OH, Princess! That beastly Blueblood is the worst example of a prince that I have ever met! How could that ruffian be your nephew and a prince?
• Celestia: Well, there's something you need to know. He's not my nephew.
• Rarity: He's not?!
• Celestia: No. He's not a prince, either. He's actually a duke.
• Rarity: But...how can that be?! Everypony calls him Prince Blueblood, nephew of Princess Celestia!
• Celestia: Well, to be honest, he's an Attention Horse. He claims to be my nephew and a prince because he's just that self-important and self-centred.
• Rarity: Unbelievable! But then, why have you done nothing about that?
• Celestia: I have considered it, but then I thought, why bother? It would only draw more attention to himself, and the more he has, the happier he is. We all prefer to shun him and not speak to him at all unless absolutely necessary. Still, you did ruin his night, didn't you?
• Rarity: Yes, I did! I even destroyed my slipper, because I never want him to find me!
• Celestia: You did? Oh, Rarity, you didn't have to do that. As I said, Blueblood is so self-centred, he most likely didn't pay any real attention to you. In fact, I daresay that he will have forgotten that you have ever existed. Besides, he is so unromantic that he wouldn't trouble himself with returning a slipper to anypony, princess or otherwise.
• Rarity: "..."

Like I said, it would be funny if anything like I just outlined happened!

Afternoon everypony. What's going on?

"You and me...We're going to have the best party....ever..."

Are you sure you know what you're doing, Trixie? Um...Trixie? Are you listening to me?◊

Y'know, I never saw anything fishy with the "never mentioned Shining Armor" before thing.

I mean, c'mon, if a friend of yours mentions having a sibling that they haven't talked about before do you become somehow suspicious or something?

So yeah, in agreement with Perpetual Lurker.

Hey, should I go see Madagascar 3 or Amazing Spider-Man?

Yeah, I don't see the problem with that either.

^^^ Oh, I think Trixie knows what she's doing. It's just not what she told Twilight it was.

^^ Way, way, waaaaay back in middle school I happened to mention to a friend that I have an adopted little sister. She gasped and asked if my sister knew. My response: "Well, she's Korean and the rest of us are white, so I think she may have an inkling."

So yeah, I don't find it particularly out of the ordinary that Twi never happened to mention her brother before.

Then again, she visited Canterlot a few times before that episode. She never bothered to drop in and say hi?

They where both busy of course!

She never visited her parents on screen, either, and they were known characters at that point, so I just chalk it up to not having enough time in episodes not even focused on Twi to begin with to show that kind of stuff.

Yes.

^^ Stop bringing your logical assessment of pacing into this!

I suggest Amazing Spider Man. Awesome movie.

@Wryte: The other thing is that when you figure that Shining Armor is in the military, Twilight might not have been able to visit him anyway; he could have been out on assignment or otherwise busy. Heck, the guy is on duty the day before his wedding.

Isn't he the captain of the palace guard? That would suggest that he, y'know, guards the palace, which would mean staying put in Canterlot.

@Syd: In hindsight, Pinkie getting married kinda set off a flag.

@Mousa: You still doing the troper drawings?

It also likely means he's on call and probably wouldn't be able to duck out at a moment's notice just because his sister happened to be in town. Who knows?

Yo thread, are you okay?
