Episode Post No. 8 (Saddle Row and Rec)

Welcome to another Episode Post, where I work feverishly to give you the best screenshots with the Discovery Family logo cropped out of them.

The reasoning for the lack of an Episode Post for A Hearth's Warming Tail is because I don't think I really have enough material for a post there.  Maybe at Christmas I'll cover it, but until then, I need to give it time to get the best opinion out of it.

I thought today's episode was Flutter Brutter, which I was looking forward to simply out of curiosity, but I guess I forgot we have a Rarity episode.  There was once a time where all Rarity episodes were universally good.  While I guess you could say this episode had a bit of everybody in it, this is Rarity's dream being expanded upon here.

Whether or not this one is good is really up to the type of person watching it.  Some people may not like this one, and I myself- along with quite a few others- enjoyed it.  Sure, the plot wasn't the best in the world, but sometimes a busy day with stuff happening somewhere makes for a nice watch.

Let's get into this.


The episode begins by trying to set up some suspense.
We see the ponies all running to Rarity's place in a hurry.

In case you want to know why, they exposition it out for you.  Here are some quotes I have-

"C'mon!  If we hurry, we can get there before the paper is even delivered to Rarity's house!"
"I'm pretty sure Rarity is going to read her review of her new boutique in Manehattan."
"I just hope it doesn't end up being an article about how her friends almost ruined the opening."

What they say here and how they act in this opening scene are to be remembered for later.  Not the worst exposition rush in this show, though.  I can say that much.

When they get to Rarity, she has a mean, stern face.  Seems she wasn't all that pleased with her article.  That gets my attention!  I wonder what possibly happened that was so ba----

No wait never mind.  They're doing the joke where she looks upset but she's actually eager.  Eager to read the article with her friends.

Her friends try to interject but Rarity strictly request for no spoilers in a clip that will surely be spammed all across the internet.

Hey look.  Cinccino.
The artist has ponified other Pokemon so be sure to check out the source.

Cinccino is a terrible Pokemon in RU but remains in said tier due to idiots using it all the time.  If it were NU, it would be a great Pokemon with a good speed tier and a great ability in Skill Link.

I think Cinccino is with CIPHER.

I could only find the Derpibooru source.  RIP.
It's Cheerilee!!

Had to feature her at some point.

Had to feature Sunset at some point.

Props for Rainbow Rocks turning her into a generic high school antagonist that we generally didn't like into the beloved mascot of Equestria Girls.

I found this adorable picture that teases us with an implied belly rub for pony Sunset.  Unfortunately, that's not happening here.  To quote the source-

"I mean, I'm not waiting in line for them.  But if someone's offering..."

Daring Do today.
Not as much art of her as you'd think there would be.

Daring is absolutely cute in the aspect that she's the cute one who is supposed to be the tough and strong type.  She is, but she can't act like that mitigates how cute she is.

Weekend's almost here...

Today is the Christmas episode.
Until then, have Twilight and Moon Dancer together.

It was tagged "Twiabetes," "Dancerbetes," and "Brushie."
The artist knows what they're doing.

Fleur Dis Lee is a very obscure character in the show who we seldom see and even more seldom hear.
She and Fancy Pants are like fuck buddies or something along the lines of that.

There needs to be more SFW of her.  I would have chosen another pic if the artist didn't leave a giant watermark in the middle of their picture.  Good for stopping thieves but pretty hard for others to appreciate the work when there's a signature right in the middle of the image.

It's finally Friday...

Episode Post No. 7 (Keep Calm and Flutter On)

The limits are endless while we're waiting for the next episode of season six to air.  I've covered all of season six.  I think I missed some episode about something, but it's so bland and forgettable that I can't remember it.

I had a randomizer pick a number between one and five, then a randomly pick an episode number.  Keep Calm and Flutter On is the tenth episode of season three.  I think the reason I should point this out is because the last episode I covered that wasn't season six was also about Discord.

Keep Calm and Flutter On doesn't require much introduction, as it seems to be pretty well known.  While lots of people can recognize the flaws of the episode, the humor of it and the antics with Discord are the parts that we keep going to it for.

Without much more to introduce this episode off with, here we go.


It begins with two thirds of the main cast, as well as Spike, gathered in what I assume is on some hill outside of Ponyville.  Apparently that's the best place to meet up with Princess Celestia, who is arriving with an "important guest."  Pinkie got her hooves shined for it, and Rarity seems to stare at Pinkie's front hoof for a little bit longer than somebody else usually would.

Just a little bit....

Speculation begins on who Celestia's important guest might be.  Spike points out frightfully that it might be a guest that has a deer antler, a goat leg, a bat wing, and a snake tail.  To which Twilight replies with, "Yeah right.  That's Discord."

Now I don't know about you guys, but something seems a bit off with Twilight's reaction.  I'm not really an analyst on this stuff, so I can't say I can put into words why I think that.  It just feels a bit unnatural is all.

Minty Bubblegum is apparently her name.  Is she the Minty from generation three?  Reduced to a one-off background character?  Whoever she is, it's sad that she didn't catch on.

I have praised the color scheme before.  You've got that regular gum pink for her mane and a minty color for the rest of her coat.  I like it.

I'll probably continue to feature more ponies that are often forgotten about.
Later.

I have no idea at all why I forgot to feature Cadance.
Maybe because she's like the most forgettable princess.
Maybe because she was introduced as a princess.
Maybe she's just a little too perfect.

I don't hate Cadance, though...

Check the source out.  This is a relatively old picture and the artist has made Celestia and Luna versions if that's your kind of thing.  I just featured the Cadance one because... she hasn't been in a post yet.

Ugh, Wednesday.  The middle of the week.  Nobody likes Wednesday.

Suri isn't really too popular....
Had to feature her at some point, though.

The way I see it, she's probably despicable, but the reality is that she- in a way- represents how people are just going to be rude in the real word sometimes.  She filled in her respective episode's role as a mild inconvenience well.
 
I looked for this one and made sure it was only safe stuff.  I have no idea how much NSFW Suri there is but I have a bad feeling about the potential amount of it.

I get first call on this one!
Drawfriend featured this after I got this one down!

And here we have a relatively recent Fluttershy pic where she appears to be in sauna of some kind.  At the very least, she's in some kinda of pool with flowers and all of those pretty things.

It must be really nice in there.  I like this one.  There's an alternate version in the source with a different colored background on the foliage.  You'll see it.

Here you go.
In my time zone, this wasn't late.
I was spending the day in Chicago and well...
I had a long day.

I didn't forget.

Episode Post No. 6 (Newbie Dash)

Newbie Dash grabbed our attention when the synopsis showed us that we would finally see Rainbow Dash get to become a Wonderbolt, a dream that happened at least two seasons later than it should have.  The catch was that she was to mess up and get called a terrible name.  I admit I originally thought Newbie Dash would be the name.

It's Rainbow Crash again.
I know I can come up with worse stuff than that overused name.
I could call her Animal Abuser for when she proved she would not be a good pet owner in season two or the Mare Do Well Wannabe.

That aside, it seems most people didn't really think much of the episode.  I mean, Rainbow joins the Wonderbolts and then what?

Well uh-
I guess we'll find out.


It should be pointed out that this episode is a first impression with a new writer whose name I've already forgotten.  I suppose I shouldn't go to overboard and keep in consideration that this is only his first contribution to the show.

Anyway, Scootaloo goes to Rainbow Dash and hypes over how the latter will be performing in the show.  Rainbow points out that she's still in the reserves, and that she'll only be performing if a substitute is needed.  Optimistically, Scootaloo points out that Dash will still be wearing a Wonderbolts outfit.

I like that optimism.  Sometimes small details can make an impact of some kind, be it big or small.

Same voice actress.  Here we have Paz Ortega Andrade from Metal Gear Solid Peace Walker with Twilight.

 But does Twilight know who she's dealing with?
She's dealing with CIPHER!
The MEMES will get to her.
NO, THE PATRIOTS!

Ms. Peachbottom might be one of the most enjoyable one-offs in the entire show.  A very kind and expressive personality.  My original pic for this post had already been featured and Drawfriend.

Well, Friday's finally here.

Gotta feature the Mayor before we forget to.
I just found this one and went through with it.
The black and white socks work really well for some reason.

I woke up at 4 AM today, so this day is going to be weird.
Hope yours will be better.

36 is a special number for me.  1936 was the year that my favorite animal went extinct is all.
Here's Rainbow Dash.

I was looking for three things when finding this one.
The first thing was a pic that was SFW, obviously.  The next was a pic of Rainbow Dash.
The third was underhoof.  I'm not saying I have some hoof fetish or anything but underhoof is just so cute....

Rainbow Dash is probably reading some sort of witchcraft like Pennroyal Academy or something.
Have an alright day, I guess.

We have yet another obsolete source, so I can only list the source as the Derpibooru one.
I'm really trying to feature different ponies; I don't want to forget about them in the future.  This time I decided on Twist.

There's a decent sum of foalcon for Twist on Derpibooru, but I managed to find this one, which I liked because it meant I could also knock Mrs. Cake out of the picture.

So uh...
That's all.

Silver Spoon is on the growing list of ponies that- if I don't feature- I'll forget about them.
I like her and all but she's too downplayed in the show.

Here's an old picture of Silver Pony kinda just... waking up.
The artist has some more pics like this but between you and me, most of the other characters he features aren't as cute.

Have a mediocre day.

I felt like I should feature Granny Smith since she isn't a popular character and that if I don't do it now, I may end up forgetting later.

I could NOT find any fan art of Granny Smith at all.  Maybe animated .gifs from the show or pictures of her younger self, but I wanted one of the more recognizable Granny Smith.

This is by far the best I could find.
Zap apples are admittedly pretty cool.  Looked fine to me until I saw the worm.

If it were me, I'd sell the apple anyway.
