Sorry, I get a shot of inspiration and finished composing my first song. I am fascinated by the prospect of more supernatual creatures. What do you guys think might come up next? A Basilisk might be too frightening and I think we have goblins/trolls in the form of the Diamond dogs.

Ad the place has more dragons than they know what to do with.

ooh! A Djinn would be fun!

For the love of Luna, Applelight, have some self control.

Hey Applelight, you saw my colorization of Bright Idea? Courtesy link

So far, feedback has it her proportions and manestyle make her look a tad like Allie Way. Interesting, a tall and lean machinist Earth Pony.

...And apparently I need to use a better brown. Huh. Time to dig into my colour pool or switch up.

A chimera could be a good creature to add, though it might be too similar to Discord.

Possibly the fact that the opening almost exactly mirrored the events of the play?
Can think outside the box, inside the chimney and would really like a Tylenol, thanks.

Hey guys, it's time to derail the discussion because I want to talk about the new episode.

I thought it was pretty good. Not great, because there wasn't anything in particular that jumped out at me screaming "I'M AWESOME!" Also, that song was like 4 lines. How is anyone supposed to remix that?

@Whatshisgame: I hate puns, but that was so spectacularly horrible that it wraps back around into being awesome.

[up]Pretty much the same thing I thought; no glaring errors, but nothing that really stuck as awesome either.

As for the song, the fandom will find a way. They always do.

That said, I'm not a huge fan of the song; it seemed sort of tacked-on, like somebody went "dang, its the christmas episode we need a song guys".

Well, since I'm going to be visiting parents and probably not around much for the next couple of weeks, have a half-finished Amazon AJ.

Mitts a little weird there, but on the whole I think it's looking alright. I'll upload the rest of it when I've time, I just don't know when that'll be.

The only thing that bothered me is that now we have to shoehorn this into our already convoluted fanon. So their flag has Celestia and Luna on it, but where were they? And Discord, for that matter? I always got the sense that since the beginning of time, Discord had ruled, until the royal sisters overthrew him.

Also, if defeating the Windigos stopped the blizzard in Equestria, wouldn't they have been able to continue living in their old land and not have to start a mass migration?

[up][up] It sounded good to me, but it was rushed. If they worked it into a later episode, it probably would've sounded better.

some options

A Cerberus hound. Big and mean, till Fluttershy gets it to act like a little puppy.

Yeti.

Basilisk, to similar to a cockatrice.

Chimera. intresting, depending on what animals get chimerized into it.

Some type of fire or earth elemental.

A Sphinx. Sets up shop in town and wont leave till it's riddles are answered.

ghouls/zombies. To dark and scary, not to mention death involving.

same for Vampires

Were-ponies?

btw Mio: ages ago you mentioned that you thought the scene from the beginning of this ep felt forced... what did you mean by that exactly?

Well, looking back it really wasn't so much forced as it was unnecessary in the context of what happened in the episode . I understand that they were trying to bookend the play with the Mane Six bickering, but that is time that could have been spent expanding the play itself, perhaps getting a proper reconciliation with the three leaders.

Were-ponies?

If fandom had its way Lyra would be one.

Not bad Kegi, though when I said you were my replacement I was joking.

[up][up]Werepony? Surely you mean Ponywolf or Equiwolf or something.

I think the consensus about the flag is that they used a version of the flag that modern equestrian audiences would be familiar with. Call it Artistic Liscense on the part of the ponies who organized the play

Also bothering me: The CMC. It made sense that they were there (2 had sisters in the play, and they can't just leave their friend) but the fact that they weren't acknowledged at all. You'd think AJ or Rarity would remind them not to take candy from strangers before letting them loose in Canterlot.

[up][up] What would you guess the original flag looked like? A combo of all 3's previous flags? Maybe something representing the attributes of each race?

As if we need something else Twilight needs to be proven wrong about? I say we leave ghosts out.

I think the flag was artistic license. They used the current flag of Equestria.

Discord was probably bopping around somewhere, then came back one day and was all "what are these new creatures doing here? Ooooh, they're going to be fun to mess with." After all, the narration tells us that this happened before Celestia's rule, which began at the end of Discord's.

Equestria was apparently even better than their old home?

[up][up][up] Why? why would ponies need to be told this? Equestria is to nice and sweet, and wholesome to need warnings like this.
