[up][up]You don't know bout Astérix??
A case of true love has the same redeeming power as a case of genuine curiosity: they are the same.

I recognize the characters, but that's about it.

I have a sort of limited reference pool.

Okay, a very limited reference pool.

Sorry ._.

I hope Spike's greed is at least partially influenced by dragon puberty or something [lol]

rather than him JUST being an asshole

Suddenly I wish they released OST's of the background music. The one in the race in Sisterhooves Social is kinda fun to listen to.

Also, Sweetie Belle has the cutest voice ever.

Hell, I'd love an OST like that just for the Nightmare Moon tracks. Both hers and Luna's entrance themes were awesome!

That reminds me, both Nightmare Moon and freshly-depowered Luna talked like normal people (er, relatively speaking). So why, in Luna Eclipsed does repowered Luna suddenly go with Ye Olde English?

[up][up]Early Installment Weirdness. Characterization Marches On. That sort of thing.

If you want something in-universe, NM tried to established herself as EEEEVVVIIIILLLL by talking as rudely (not the right word, but whatever, I'm no native) as possible. Of course, since this is still Luna we are talking about, her version of 'rude' is pretty much normal English. With NM defeated, she reverted back to her high-class accent.

Calvin: I kind of resent the manufacturer's implicit assumption that this would amuse me.

Luna speak this way because it's tradition, but when she become NM she decided "Frak Tradition!" and speak in normal way.
They are like the others. Strange, hideous, resisting, fighting. Only these were not like the others. They did not die.

I recognize the characters, but that's about it.

Not many people outside of Europe are going to recognize Astérix, really.

Imagine Zecora doing a commercial for a potion and rattling off the side effects...still entirely in rhyme

This special brew to cure your pain
Works any day, bright or rain
Neckaches, backaches, headaches too!
this special brew will cure for you

Side effects may include chronitis, bronchotis,
Pendio-arthritis
You should not take while pregnant
or mix with leaves of flowers elegant
consult your doctor if you have a
allergic reaction to flava.
Stop taking immediately if you have the shakes
or the compulsive need to bake.

And ask your doctor about
my latest cure for gout!

... Okay, that was pathetic. My apologies.

What? You know Pinocchio and the Emperor of the Night but not Asterix?

(it happens)

...

I personally suspect that Apple Bloom still hangs around with Twist off-screen. She can't be with the CM Cs 24/7 after all.

What about Twist, now?


Anyway, crack theory: Luna and Celestia had a third sister named Stella (associated with stars, of course), who unfortunately died at a young age... supposedly. Somehow, she's still alive, as Twilight Sparkle (note the cutie mark: a big star, with a bunch of other stars). She doesn't know that she's Celestia's and Luna's sister (yet), but the telling sign is that she has really powerful magic — even for a unicorn.

This sounds like an idea for an alternate-continuity fic.

[up]Just because your friends with the same person does not mean you will get along with the other friend. Griffon A Brush proved that one.

YELLING AT FLUTTERSHY WAS NOT A MEH!!

[up]What about yelling at Fluttershy?

I still think a similar style episode involving Twist could work well (and probably end on a happier note, I hope).

[up] Moral Event Horizon

given what Gilda did and didn't know at the time, I think her other Kick the Dog moments were far worse than the Fluttershy moment, yet that's the one most people hate her for.

I really want her to be happy

Scoot and SB are not angry at Twist in any moment of this episode (I just rewatched this episode).
