Thoughts on the new episode (Spoilers in comments)

[magicalrealist]

(For all of her mun's explanations and thoughts on the episode, Twilight is busy laughing on the ground.)

Do you feel better now that you finally saw the episode, mun? I haven't seen you get this excited in a while...it's great to see that smile again.

(jfioashfouhs)

I'm glad that Trixie and I settled our differences; she deserves another chance at her career as a showmare. I'm not going to hold anything against her; if you're going to joke about me being a Jedi in addition to a "Touhou Girl," then you might as well keep in mind their teachings. Revenge isn't the way of the Jedi, right? (She giggles.) And no, I'm not as excited as you are about me using my magic to do the strange "4th wall" things Pinkie does. That's all thanks to Zecora and her special "Jedi training," as you call it.

So if you're going to call me a Jedi from now on, does that mean you'll drop that ridiculous alicorn theory?

(Nope.jpg)

...fine. Just go back to your celebrating that term being canon now.

The Great and Powerful Trixie Demands your mundane to halt his laughter. Him doing so won't ever do you any favors. She demands you to search your feelings! You know it to be true!

[magicalrealist]

I know, I know; mun laughter usually doesn't lead to positive results, but there's not much I can do about it for now. He's really excited about your return and our magic duel, but as for his exact thoughts? I really don't know.

How did your mun handle the episode?

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie glances over to her mun while in thought.]

...It appears he both enjoyed the episode and relieved that it never ruined any part of Trixie's awe-inspiring personality.

[magicalrealist]

Mine was worried they would've changed that since the writers can be pretty inconsistent sometimes. You also haven't been seen since season one, so there was a lot that could've been done wrong. Thankfully, that wasn't the case.

As long as your mun doesn't get as many crazy ideas as mine, you should be fine.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

[Trixie's face darkens.]

...Unfortunately, her mun has the vile idea to create an alternate universe version of Trixie where she had never taken the amulet off.

[bestofthebest]

I'm just glad I get to use both wings again without one of them looking super-gigantic!

(What the hay - you're a Jedi now?!)

[magicalrealist]

It's impossible to keep your balance that way, but yes, it could've ended much worse than it did. I'm glad that it didn't.

(Best Jedi pony with Master Yoda Zecora.)

[bestofthebest]

Yeah, but seriously: your best trick, even though it wasn't really magic, was when you made two mes! So. Awesome~!!

(At least there wasn't any heavy outside lifting.)

[magicalrealist]

That was also thanks to Fluttershy; she agreed to get painted and styled to look just like you. It wasn't easy, but it worked wonderfully.

(Seriously, have you seen her mane and tail? A lot longer than Dashie's.

Also yes, no heavy lifting, but there was water lifting and water walking. That's pretty big.)

[friendyousohard]

So, if we're a Jedi, who's the Sith?

... Or is that one of those questions nopony should be asking, do you think?

[magicalrealist]

It's probably best not to think about it too much. It'll be more of a headache than it's worth.

Some of my mun's friends have joked about Sombra being Darth Vader, even though we haven't seen him since the season premiere.

[friendyousohard]

Wouldn't he be Emperor Palpatine? I mean, unless they're suggesting there was a greater threat behind him. Either way, I'd say the Sauron comparison is more accurate.

[magicalrealist]

If he was Palpatine, then that would imply he had at least one apprentice at all times. If we're to continue with the inclusion of Vader and the possible connection to Sombra and the Alicorn Amulet, then Vader may temporarily be Trixie. Then again, a temporary thing might make her closer to Darth Maul...

While a Lord of the Rings connection is very possible, did that universe have any Jedi equivalents? They don't have to be magical or anything like that; just a renowned group of warriors or mercenaries or something to that affect.

Here's a Season One Fluttershy

[her_kindness]

...Twilight?! You're here too?

Oh...I'm glad you're okay

Awesome~

[magicalrealist]

Hi Fluttershy! All six of us are here, but this place is...pretty complicated. Did you just arrive?

<3

[her_kindness]

Oh yes, I did actually. Oh this is so nice! I've seen a Pinkie Pie and two Rainbow Dashes so far. Has your mun been treating you okay?

...By the way um...who was that other unicorn you were talking to? The blue unicorn?

[magicalrealist]

You'll meet a lot of us here, including others not from Equestria. Time is subjective and people from all kinds of universes find their way here. As for my mun...things have been up and down with my mun, but overall it hasn't been too bad. The game I'm in is ending today, so there's that to be proud of.

Hmm? Oh, that's Trixie; she likes to show off and degrade others, but went through a positive change in the new episode. You'll meet her later.

...Fluttershy? What's the last thing you remember from home?

And if you don't mind, here's a fully updated Fluttershy. X3

[flutterlicious]

Uhm... I hope your mun enjoyed it... mine did...

[Fluttershy isn't completely enthused being reminded of that episode, and you can blame a certain line about closets and teddy bears for that.]

Nope, I don't mind at all~

[magicalrealist]

Oh, he definitely did. Now he's even more convinced I'll become "OP" once the season ends. His words; not mine.

(But she was totally the hero in that episode!)

[flutterlicious]

[A hero that would still prefer being brave in a closet.]

Well... you're always practicing, right? Plus you're Celestia's best student. Just... try and not let it go to your head, if that's okay.

[magicalrealist]

(She got a hollowed out tree. Does that count?)

Don't worry, Fluttershy; I won't let that happen. I practice a lot, but I know better than to become snobbish or condescending because of it.

[downtoearthpony]

Still think that was pretty smart of ya to use our friends and family like that.

Though mah mun thought it was actually somethin' to do with illusions than actually switching out with others.

And speaking of laughing at muns, you would've gotten a kick how mine reacted to that last trick. They almost ran out of the room, they couldn't handle it.

[magicalrealist]

It was thanks to Zecora that I was able to come up with the idea. After all, friendship is one of the most powerful kinds of magic out there. As for illusion magic...maybe I'll work that into my schedule. Can't say for sure until canon points something out.

Mine instantly thought of yours once he saw that and knew yours would really enjoy it. I really want to thank you, Rarity, Big Mac and the others for helping me with that; I'm not sure how I would've bested Trixie otherwise.

[cape_and_wizard_hat]

...Trixie admits you may have as much showponyship as the mare gracing yur eyes with her very presence!

[magicalrealist]

Me? As a showmare? (She takes a moment to think about that.)

It's a fun thought, but I don't think I could compare with you in that regard; you're been performing for years, haven't you?
