Pfft.

Judging by the fact they weren't with the Mane Six in Canterlot, I'd guess Shining Armour and Cadance are now living in the Crystal city Empire. Which means they definitely need a new captain of the guards now if they didn't before.

I thought that was the accepted explanation already?

Pff, appointing a new Captain of the Royal Guard is trivial.

If you want a captain with magical bubble shield powers, though, that's going to be a bit of a tall order.

Yeah, well. I only pointed it out because Red mentioned it.

Heya Apple :D

I bet you can't wait for next week, eh :D

Luna is tired of it.

And now, we let it die.

Twi I am disappoint

Backlash against Gak will become a meme itself

Remind me never to let her down, because damn.

Gak is not a meme. However, 'Gak is not a meme' is a meme. If you can understand this, you have reached poni enlightenment.

So now we ponify a 4chan meme

Mayor's Aide is another fave BG pony :3

Am I wrong or does the hub have more frequent commercial breaks and longer ones?

Man, that look. It's just "Yeah, whatever punk, I don't care where you go, just go." The animation is just great here.

That's allready done with "What If Gummy was a Meme".

Just what did Spike see in the door? (SAD)

@DC: Then the ponification shall be DOUBLED!

Oh man, that first one hurt a bit. It's worse because you don't know exactly what it was he saw.

I say that the door should become the next art meme. I've always wanted to see artists' representations of the ponies' worst fears.

@Ed: I fully expect it to become a thing in fanfics too.

Out of context: So much Rarity Shiptease

When the “Crystal Fair” song was put into its proper context, I realized that it answers a question that came up when the song first was shown as a spoiler (the song where the Mane Cast prepares for the fair). At the time, I remember there being speculation that the part about “Cadance’s magic won’t last forever” was implying that she would lose her ability to do magic altogether unless the Crystal Empire was revived. Put in context, it turns out that “Cadance’s magic” doesn’t mean her ability to use magic, it meant that the specific spell she was using wasn’t something that she could hold up forever (or much longer).

Well, pushing so much power into a single spell for a long time is even more exhausting than being trapped in crystal caves by a NTR Changeling Queen. (And yes, there are fanfics touching on the NTR potential)

What the hell is Gak?

What was she doing there? There's a screencap about where she's just...there.

@Ed: She was there to sample the fine Crystal Kingdom vintage nopony has tried for a thousand years.

She got drunk and took the wrong train.
