I cannot stop thinking of the smile song

help

that song is not an ear worm, it is an ear greater dragon

You think your the only one? Because I can't get it out of my head either.

It's so beautiful and catchy ^_^

I wonder what instruments they used. I can hear an acoustic guitar...

Meh, my brain blasts music 24/7 anyway, so a maddeningly catchy song is nothing new for me.

Eh. Somehow the moral of the episode is questionable. Not so much the written down moral at the end, but... goddamn, quit being a stalker, Pinkie!

I think what she learned was that you have to just leave some of your friends alone sometimes, though...

Yeah, but in the end Grumpy is her friend. Her, well, stalking paid off. Wouldn't it be a better moral that you can't be friends with everybody, and that's okay?

That's too much of a downer for this show, don't you think?

Indeed. And she was stalking him because she could clearly see how miserable he was. She really wanted to cheer him up.

Yeah, I gotta say "you can't be friends with everyone" wouldn't work. I mean the whole point of the show is that barring outright evil (and sometimes even then) you kinda can.

Pinkie's usual solution to problems is to just be more Pinkie at them until something gives (usually the fabric of space and time), and that made it worse. She won when she backed off long enough to do something more thoughtful.

I personally think Pinkie lucked out when she made the connection with Matilda. If it weren't for that bit of brilliant insight, I honestly would think Cranky would have not only hated her guts but also be slightly AFRAID of the Pink pony.

Let's be fair, everypony is probably slightly afraid of Pinkie sooner or later.

Huh. Wierd. I don't have the Smile song in my head.

Eh, not really a downer. I mean, it's okay not to be friends with everybody. Some people just aren't really compatible; that's life and okay. But I guess, while that's true, it maybe wouldn't really fit into MLP.

Still not okay. As far as I'm concerned, privacy is absolutely sacrosanct. And besides, as was said, Pinkie did really screw up with all that, but then just happened to be lucky.

Yeah, I think the main issue with Pinkie is that she couldn't comprehend that she was the reason he was unhappy, and thus she didn't realize that the proper course of action was to leave him alone.

Well, except she wasn't the reason he was unhappy, not at first. The guy had issues he really needed to get off his chest, whether or not Matilda showed up at the end.

Personally, I would rather have seen Pinkie get him to open up by listening instead of talking. Like, some time after he cools down from Pinkie accidentally destroying his album, she could ask him to tell his story to her — she owes it to him to make sure it never gets forgotten no matter what. I would also have rather seen it end with Ponyville taking him in and Pinkie P.Ie.◊ promising to help him track Matilda down afterward, complete with trenchcoat and hammy noir monologues.

I dunno, I just feel like cartoons get shoehorned into Perfect End really often, and not enough Good End. The latter sometimes gives a lot more room to show character depth, going and growing as far as they can instead of having everything fall into place for a convenient stopping point. Also leaves a small loose thread for future continuity, like in a future episode we go into the library and Twilight is helping Pinkie track down public records — just a quick side glance, like Dash reading Daring Do in the corner was for this one.

To be honest, I don't really think badly of Pinkie Pie in this episode. She had good intentions at heart, she just wasn't too bright in carrying them out {Telling the whole town that Cranky's bald, for one example}. Everypony has their flaws, and Pinkie Pie is no exception.

Wow, a whole night with no post's at all.

Slow thread is really slow.

Am I the only one who would really like to go to one of Pinkie's parties? They remind me of when I was a child :3

You hate places like this.

Nevermind. You love places like this.

I'd like to go to one of Pinkie's partys too. Sadly, reality prevents that lol. Though reality has never stopped pinkie pie before....

^Lol.

xD

I'm one of the "Always The Quiet Ones"...

Yeah, I don't cut loose very often, but sometimes it's fun. I was a groomsman at one of my friend's wedding this summer, and the reception was epic.

Anyway, I wrote this a while back and I was wondering if it's worth my time to get back to work on it. In summary, Cheerilee's class puts on a play depicting the events of the second season opener, and it's terrible. Should I finish it up?

I'm not sure what Wet Maned Rarity mixed with the music from the "Sexy saxophone man" has to do with your fanfic, but Wow.

The idea sounds pretty intreasting to me.
