I'm actually surprised that out of all the out-of-context shipping to come out of the show, snippets between Rainbow Dash and Twilight Sparkle tend to be rather explicit.

The eels were here for this.

And on an unrelated note, I totally want to see this.

The next time I feel like a new avatar, I'm going to have to raid that episode for screenshots of that bat. Exactly the sort of adorable cartoony bat I've been looking for. waii

We're going to see a fanfic where all those pets who lost to Tank get adopted by background ponies, aren't we?

^^^ Yeah, Gummy.

Hmm... "Tank". Canon evidence of pony warfare using non-pie-based weaponry?

Rarity already made references a tank in "The Art of the Dress". Also in the most recent song, Dash mentions the speed of a bullet.

There so needs to be a My Little Pony platform game, where each of the mane cast has special skills:

Twilight: Can use magic for all sorts of things.
Applejack: Can kick really hard.
Rainbow Dash: Flies super-fast.
Fluttershy: Animal empathy.
Rarity: Locates hidden objects.
Pinkie: Breaks the laws of the universe.

How do ponies know about tanks?
Or bullets, for that matter.

@Idler: I refuse to believe that that was the original conception of that lyric.

Think about what the human equivalent of a dress "sitting high on the flank" would look like, and then reconsider the line: "Even if it sits high on the flank, Rainbow won't look like a..."

I suspect whoever wrote the lyrics to that (not sure if it was Ingraham or someone else) had to Bowdlerize that line shortly after coming up with it.

People keep saying that, but the visual accompanying that line shows a dress that sorta puffs up, so it could plausibly make the wearer look bulky.

Pinkie: Breaks the laws of the universe.

My thought about this:

In a pony platform game, for Pinkie's special power, well, normally the screen scrolls when you walk forward, right? Hold down a button and the screen stops scrolling for Pinkie. Instead, if she walks off one side of the screen she wraps around to the other end. Additionally, bottomless pits drop you from the top of the screen instead of killing you. Could make for some interesting puzzles.

I have noticed the recent Twidash shipping coming out of scenes in season 2, and I happen to be a Twidash fan, so it's pretty cool to see that pairing get more attention and thus more fanfic and fanart.

Also, who else thinks that theres going to be more "Dash loses her wings and has to deal with it" fanfics after this episode even though she just broke them?

#7296 from Viridian Forest
There were already so damn many of them I doubt it would make a difference. If anything, this one showed that her wings are more stretchy than balsa wood :D

Hmm... "Tank". Canon evidence of pony warfare using non-pie-based weaponry?

You make the dangerous assumption that said tanks don't also use pies.

This is slightly off topic, but how do you guys think this SOPA thing will affect the pony fandom if it passes? I'll be honest, I'm a bit paranoid about it. I basically spent my entire morning saving every piece of pony-related art to my hard drive in case Ponibooru and ED get axed.

I don't think this particular fandom would have problems, seeing how the people who make the show are extremely vocally supportive of their internet following.

Most other franchises though...hoo boy sad

So far though, SOPA seems to be even clumsier than ACTA, and is getting even more opposition both outside and within the legislature than usual for it. I mean, you've got Nancy Pelosi and Ron Paul standing together against it. Holy shit.

Popcorn please!

Also, we had a duck in Non-euclidean spacetime step on Dash's neck without ill effect.
