A page from a really great comic I found on DevArt.

Spoiler: show


You can see the whole comic here, and the first one is here.

And to be honest, I would totally accept (most of) it as cannon.

Warning, numerous big images. Also, much daww, I take no responsibility for heart attacks.

Found this adorable little comic by muffinshire on DA a while back and couldn't help but share it.  ^-^

It is still unfinished of course.

Found this on DeviantArt, but it's not an image so I couldn't place it in the image thread, but I wanted to share it anyway because I thought it was great and one more reason I love this fanbase (also, I'm beginning to like the Owl City songs I keep seeing ponies added to).

Not sure if I can embed a flash from DeviantArt so there's the link.

Daww....

Also, that would totally be me if I ever napped like that in a tree. Except there wouldn't be a bush below to catch me.  >A<

It would certainly provide an interesting challenge for the group if there was a villain who was either resistant to or absorbed pony magic.

Yeah, I admit those two things seem a bit unnecessary, but I'm more interested in seeing just how good this episode turns out to be so I'll let it slide because other than that it looks like it could be totally awesome.

Found a few really good ones that I don't think have been shown here yet.

I've been rather neutral to the whole thing as I watch the series more to enjoy a fun, funny and amazing, adventurous fairy tale than anything. I still admit the princess bit was a bit tacked on, but I think that was more a safeguard in-case the show bombed during season 2 (when season 3 was still being planned and on its way to being produced) so I'll forgive it as is. Plus, this was supposedly the first of a 3 part story arc so the beginning of season 4 will probably shed more light on some of the plotholes of this episode.

If it's any consolation though, as far as a character becoming a princess goes, this is one I like better. Compared to other princess stories where the princess is either born into the role and/or ends up marrying a "prince charming" to become a princess and is more often than not a damsel in distress. Twilight on the other hand was crowned a princess by virtue of her experience and having developed good leadership qualities needed to be a good ruler. While this may fall short of what Faust's original intent may or may not have been it is still a good long step above your average princess story.

Honestly, I'm going to forgive them for the rushed quality of the last episode because I think when these episodes were actually being written and produced the show was still gaining speed and they weren't sure yet if it was going to keep its popularity or start to fall apart on them. Hence the shorter season and a slightly rushed finale that I now think was made to finish the series if, for some reason, the show started to lose momentum during season 3. Considering season 4 will likely have 26 episodes from the sound of it, they're fully confident that the show is a worthwhile investment and hopefully will be less rushed in the future.

Also, just realized after Twilight got zapped by the elements that the scorch marks weren't just random burns on the floor. They actually formed her cutie mark.

I'm sure a unicorn who's special talent is moving clouds, or causing rain would be able to do so just as well as a pegasus. However, the thing about pegasi is weather manipulation is a general innate ability that covers all forms of weather. While a unicorn with a matching talent could likely perform a single weather task just as well as a pegasus, even from the ground, they still wouldn't be able to do other forms of weather quite as well if at all.

Also unicorns manipulating the weather is now cannon!  :nod:

The Great an Powerful Trixie would like to have a word with you.


Afterwards Twilight even controlled the wind.


Spoiler: show
I think large-scale weather manipulation was implied seeing as unicorn magic is usually pretty basic with the exception of the unicorn's special talent. Hence why Trixies lightning cloud was so small on both occasions as all her magic is more flair and flash than practical. And while twilight manipulated the wind later in the episode it was for a specific magical effect (magic being her talent) and in Winter Wrap Up she was unable to assist with clearing the clouds. So in Twilight's case any potential weather manipulation would be more of a side-effect of her talent rather than a feature of her talent.

It wouldn't surprise me however if there were indeed unicorns who's special talent involved weather control similar to that of a pegasus. After all, fluttershy is a pegasus and yet she posesses an ability that would more commonly belong to an earth pony instead. Plus, I must point out that Rarity was doing a very poor job as well given that, while her cutie mark said one thing, it was not what she was actually meant to do as shown by the quilted pattern of clouds and the random weather fall from each one.

Had to cut my earlier thoughts a little short because I had to go to work, but I still think there were a few too many songs for how short the episode was though I think it was due more to time constraints.

However, this doesn't change the fact that all the songs were great. Heck, I was fighting back tears when they were all miserable doing things the weren't meant to do (A True, True Friend might actually contest a spot in my favorite songs), and man, I hope Celestia gets to sing more as the series goes on because that was just beautiful.

I'm really interested to find out just how many times Derpy actually made an appearance because I've seen three different places in screenshots now and I've heard she's appeared up to 5 times total in the episode, but my eye for spotting such things is terrible though. In fact, with how many times she's shown up in this one episode I wonder if it's not the animator's way of making up for her lack of appearances in the rest of the season.

Also, the theory that Discord might actually be Starswirl is a very interesting theory and would actually make for some very, very interesting backstory. Now I really want a pre-equestrian lore episode. There is so much potential lore that could be expanded that hasn't so far and such episodes would be undeniably awesome.  :3

Final thoughts: I also feel a bit silly for not catching who the notebook belonged to sooner. It's so obvious and yet so not obvious at the same time.

Also, pinkie is ponyville's celebrity, no question.
