-*Throws JT out the window*

Bye now!

I just saw Pokemon Reenacted by Ponies, and it's probably the most hilarious thing I've seen all day. I mean, just the casting of some of the characters made me burst out laughing. No character fits better as James than Rarity.

On top of that, if you take out the pony puns, pretty much all of the dialogue sounds like it could come from an actual episode. I mean, Big Mac (Brock) started an extended segway into just why a Doduo is weak to Electric attacks and I was like, "Yes! They did exactly that in the show all the damn time!"

So yeah, that was definitely my favorite of this little series of theirs.

Only because it's the only language for that.

Wait a second.

"A mark of one's destiny, alone, fulfilled"

I think I get that passage now. In the spell's incomplete form, it swapped the cutie marks; the "marks of destiny" around. (or it changed fundamentals that caused the marks to change in turn, but whatever)

The ponies with the changed marks tried to do what they believed the mark meant for them. And they did do those things, despite being terrible at it and growing miserable as a result.

The marks alone were fulfilled, but the ones bearing the marks were not.

...you know what they should have done? This is just something very small, but Twilight should have recited the spell in full, including her new passage, instead of just her new passage.

Well, my short game of Bejeweled 2 Classic turned into a three-hours-and-four-minutes game. I reached level 20 and scored 240, 670 points. I honestly don't know how that ranks for this game.

What do you think that would have done?

Put more emphasis on the fact that she was completing the spell.

...I wasn't suggesting that that would cause a different effect.

You know, looking closely, it seems like it was writing the period at the end of the incantation was what triggered the spell activating.

I get somatic components, but spells aren't typically cast by writing them down.

Davenport sells some quality quills.

...and sofas.

No wonder he's always out of stock. On quills.

Symbolism. With the period, the spell was officially complete.

He makes a fortune on fainting couches.

Also, look at this. Look at it. LOOK.

You remember German Fluttershy? Even if you don't, you're going to want to see this.

Oh.

OH.

Season 1 premiere:

Season 3 finale:

Coincidence?

She always knew.

It just sounds a lot better than "Congratulations, Twilight. I was so sure you were gonna *BLEEP* it up."

I think people got distracted by the (cute) slice of life elements so much that they forgot that the series is also a Coming of Age Story for Twilight.

When I came of age, I got a party.

When she came of age, she became a motherbleeping princess. FML.

Hee. Well, Twilight was always highlighted as special, even the other ponies marveled that she's on speaking terms with Celestia.

And hey, her brother married a princess. That was a pretty big clue.

She got a party, just for different reasons.

I still want to know what Celestia needed Discord for.

In the next season, I wouldn't mind some scenes where Twilight is working in a magic lab in her library on creating new spells.

"Hello, Twilight? So sorry to bother you, but you've been down here for a few days now, and I needed to borrow you for a gown ideeeeah?!"
"Oh! I'm sorry. I've been working on gravity spells. I think I've managed to work out how to enchant them into objects... like floorboards."

Don't mess with the Sparkle family. They've got connections.

The Sparkles probably choose to stay humble and obscure, but their children keep having things to do with royalty.

There are a lot of families you shouldn't mess with.

Like the Apple family. They have numbers like you wouldn't believe and a web of connections across the food industry.

The Pies dominate the rock-farming industry.

To be sure, the rock-farming industry is basically just them, but they sure are dominating.

Hey. Rock farmiong is serious business. Do you think gravel just happens?
