Princess Cadance is having a foal! A royal baby! I’m so excited! This hasn’t happened in… ever? Has this ever happened? Who is Prince Blueblood related to anyway?
This has probably never happened! Isn’t that exciting?!
Gee, I wonder what you’d call the foal of a princess….

1) Wow. Well I’m glad you’re okay now! Don’t suppose you know how this happened or how to prevent it from happening again, do you? It’s okay if you can’t tell me.
2) Eh. I mean, I’ve heard it’s hilarious, ingenious, thought provoking, challenging, and with a morality system that makes your actions feel like they truly have weight. Basically brilliant on every developmental level.
But I have absolutely no interest in it. Whenever a game has pass/fail objectives that alter the ending, possibly without you even knowing it, I feel overwhelmed. Like I have to study what to do, where, and when, before even starting, or else I’ll mess something up.
Lyra: I’m happy for them. Ecstatic even! Sweetie Belle and her friends worked really hard and they deserve their cutie marks.
B: Sure.
Lyra: It’s just… No. I’m happy for them. Nothing else. That’s it.
[Pause]
B: This has never happened before.
Lyra: No it hasn’t… In all of recorded pony history there has never been such a thing as a shared cutie mark.
B: Unique cutie marks are rare as is. Even a pony like Twilight doesn’t have one.
Lyra: I know. Rainbow Dash’s tri-colored lighting cloud is unusual enough. But three unique cutie marks, all bearing an obvious connection?
B: More than strange. But compared to the last thousand years there’s been more reality shaping events than ever before. The Nightmare, Discord, Tirek. Magic and Cutie Marks being stripped away and restored. Dimensions crossing. Harmony being disrupted. The unseen forces that guide us may be reacting to it all.
Lyra: But why this? What does it all mean?
B: Our world is in flux. Magic is changing.

Dear Diary,
Sorry I haven’t wrote anything in you in like… 2 years. Lyra says that days turn to weeks and weeks turn to months and before you know it years have past and you don’t know what you’re doing with your life anymore. That might be an exaggeration. I’m honestly not sure.
I just wanted to write down my feelings before all of this just becomes normal. I spent more time than I would have liked with Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon. Silver Spoon seemed kind of stuck up and proud, but Diamond Tiara was just this mean, controlling thing. I haven’t forgotten the ring of secrets she held over us, but it seems like such a long time ago.
After we came back from… our trip… They were a little nicer to me, but it was still all about being the best to them. Diamond Tiara, more than Silver Spoon, would do anything in her power to manipulate and blackmail others into getting what she wanted. Then this election thing happened. And suddenly everypony was ready to finally stand up as one against them. Against her.
Pipsqueak was the start, but it was the Cutie Mark Crusaders that rallied everypony together. Despite her threats and taunts, or maybe even in spite of them, Diamond Tiara lost. And not just a small contest, but something big. She lost her control. And she lost her friend. Perhaps it was wrong of me, but I immediately took the opportunity to hang out with Silver Spoon in her place. She was always so much more approachable when Diamond Tiara wasn’t around. We had fun. We played. I thought this was some huge change.
But then, Diamond Tiara. She told off her mother. Told her off in front of everypony. Just like I did… In that moment I felt like maybe she and I weren’t so different. As I watched it all unfold I felt like the entire world must have been changing. Diamond Tiara and the CMC as friends? They were the two biggest causes for conflict in the school! If they weren’t at each others’ throats anymore… Nothing would be the same! No more fighting! No more picking sides!
Maybe it won’t last. Maybe this is just a phase and everything will go back to how it was. But I hope it doesn’t. I feel… free. Like I can breathe again. Like I’m allowed to be a kid again.

P.S.: The new playground is really cool! And so are the CMC’s cutie marks! I wish I had a shared cutie mark.
2) Barriers work by diffusing a force, magic or otherwise, over a solid surface other than the self. They don’t nullify magic. As such levitation can grab and lift the barrier, contents and all. That’s why barriers are usually big and partially submerged to anchor them down.
I wouldn’t be able to unfasten the claws, but I could still grab, drag, lift, and push them around. Which would making hitting me very hard.
3) This is probably the most likely of the three. And that’s very sad.

Wooooow, @askheartandviolet. There has most certainly been a misunderstanding, though. I was joking about the weapon thing. I didn’t think anypony claiming to be a warrior would be foalish enough to bring a weapon in a one-on-one against a unicorn. Even in a spar, where I’m supposed to go easy on you, that’d be far too
unrealistic. But I guess that’s what happens when you remain
close-minded to other fighting styles in your own blind overconfidence. Pardon the crude visual aids.
And this is just me and my limited magic. A more gifted unicorn would probably magnetize your claws to your armor so you couldn’t even stand up!
This is the entire reason why no division of the Equestrian Guard employs armed patrols!
The use of weaponry in civilized combat is as archaic and backwards as
your notions of training! The whole reason we’d spar hoof-to-hoof would
be to give you the advantage! You’re faster, probably have more experience, and I hope would be in better shape.
And you can have the advantage because I don’t mind losing!Winning only reinforces what you already know. Losing is how you learn what to do different next time. I would have thought that to be a millennia old concept. But hey, you grew up sheltered and unexposed, and that’s not your fault. But remaining that way is.
Oh, and you can forget about the spar. You’re clearly beneath me. Even holding back I’d probably hurt you.

1) I will say I loved the scene where Rafferty tried to add some details to the painting and the customer got upset about it. It could have been lazy and we could have heard him say “Oh, I am so sad now. This is my sad face.“ But instead we got to see him walk back, completely defeated, into his self-imposed prison of stagnation. And as easy as it would have been to make Sammy out to be the bad-guy and be all “I told you so.“ We instead see him visibly upset too. He didn’t want to be right, he just knew that he was.
That’s why Rafferty is my favorite character. Can give even a boring episode a flawless performance.
Oh wait. That’s not what you asked. [Unintelligible Muttering] … What?
2) With extra Hay Fries, please!
3) I did not know that! But I haven’t played Hong Kong yet so I also don’t know who you’re talking about. I’m waiting for it to go on sale. Which sounds pretty sorry of me since it’s so cheap… I am poor. :(
Something about her possibly being redeemed while I was commenting on how void of emotion she was with checking on the gem fusion monsters. Mind you, she hasn’t been redeemed yet. SU has this funny way of surprising us.
ok i never wanted her to be REDEEMED, but shes a cutie and innocentish and i love her ok, so anyway
yeah shes not a heartless jerk monster so
get rek
This is me getting rek’d by benjamin-note, because television theories are serious business.
