@ Veni, the image macro repository for the thread.

...which would be where?

Look for Japanese Teeth's posts and click the link in his sig.

Anyway, new episode didn't make me want to disown the series, so I call it a success.

Octavia is actually possible to cosplay as a dude without getting too many weird looks from strangers. (Well, you might get weird looks for wearing animal ears and a tail, but at least it's not crossdressing.)

WTF, Egophiliac?

That's a great standard for everything!

I can't wait for the Babs fanfics to pop up :V

New reading habits, Dashie?

A lot of disappointment in life can be avoided by setting reasonable expectations.

Seriously though, I really liked the episode. And I'm honestly baffled that anyone could watch it and think the episode was justifying Babs' actions.

I just wanted to be entertained and I was.

Entertaining and heartfelt. 8/10, would watch again.

Personally, I'd give it 11/10, if I could. That's how much I like the episode.

The hair-blowing is a cute multipurpose gesture. She's either getting aggressive or fidgety.

I love how all the characters have so much personality in even their simple gestures :3

And when thy ndo the Cutie Mark Crusader pose at the end, she STILL has to blow her hair away.

Hey guys!

Loved the episode - not disappointed by this season so far :D

The Bad Seed song is awesome, cinema is canon, the doctor wearing a bowtie and a giant pear on his head... I'm not of fan of "bullies episodes" as I call them, but that one was nice.

Also, I'm never setting foot on Derpibooru again before at least next week. the amount of "Ticket is canon" pictures must be terrifying (I remember stating that "If we have to wait another week for season 3 people will end up bringing Ticket back" in this very topic...Didn't expect Hasbro themselves would bring her back xD)

Who the eff is Ticket?

It was an OC based on the Gala Tickets in the third episode of season one. A full golden mare with a ticket as her Cutie Mark. I never quite understood what the whole fuss was, but at one point she was more hated than the fluffy pone.

Y'know, the easiest way to put people off Ticket would have been to make some shock-guro-r34 doujin of her.

That would've worked for anything.

Right, time to watch the new episode.

Looks like Scoots can glide now! That's good. And Sweetie's magic has started too.

Wow, what sort of accent is that on Babs? Sounds Lousian...an.

I have to admit, I caught some of the discussion as to whether Babs was justified or not... she's certainly not acting like she feels under duress.

Hey, a CMC song. It's catchy! Can't help but laugh at the determined filly walk animation, though.

Oh, look, Rarity's childhood house. Also Rarity's dad.

Oh yes, guest of honor. No way that'll end up in any way similar to Carrie.

Casual racism from Diamond Tiara, not surprising.

VEGGIE SALAD! ...Seriously?

Yes, Sweetie, why does life have to be so ironic.

Scoots confirmed to be one of nature's drummers.

T'was a nice demonstration of the Cycle of Abuse in action.

On page for that episode we already have Scrappy:

"The Scrappy: Fans were already calling out Babs as one when they first saw her bullying the Crusaders. Although some have warmed up to her after finding out that she herself was bullied and when she does a Heel Face Turn."

Less than a day. Can audience reaction be put at least more that few days after episode premiere?

Would be nice, Death.

Anyway, I do have to say that Babs got a bit caught up in it, but I guess I can't blame her. Not like kids can switch the mask on and off, really.

But seriously, what was that accent. Sounded like she was going for New York City at the end there, but...

I'm not quite familiar with her accent myself.

@Death That doesn't sound like it should be under The Scrappy, myself. Isn't that for just plain unlikable characters, who aren't supposed to be disliked as much as they are? As far as I can tell, most of the fandom likes her, or at least doesn't hate her.

I don't think she is Scrappy but issue is that people put that tropes to fast on page.
