Starlight's still adjusting to her new life, but at least she's got some good support. Twilight's excited as ever to do well by her, and Spike's befriended her fairly easily. It does mean he's got a little more work, probably, but he's up for the task. The rest of the throne holders are fine with her, too- though what happens now when the map calls them in? Does Starlight get to watch the castle?

g'night, mlpg.
>>26896478
How the hell do you keep doing this?
look how fucking ridiculous this princess looks
>>26896470
They really went all out making Starlight as cute a pony as possible
>>26896500
Most of the really complicated manes are complete bullshit and would never really work.
>>26896498
I'm sincerely worried about filly Anon.
It's too consistent.
Too perfect.
derpy is a verydeadpony
>>26896500
I thought her legs looked weirder than her hair tbqh
>"Yeah"
>"Rub that fucking tuft, you slut."
>"You fucking tuft slut"
>>26896500
That run cycle was pretty funky too.
spikexglimglam confirmed
>>26896508
>mane growing out of her ear
Even Sunset is better at this point
>>26896527
>tuft slut
>>26896505
The more time that passes from when Faust worked on the show the less canon her ideas are.
Princess Cadence will not outlive her husband
>>26896521
She was nowhere to be seen in the premiere.
Not even hidden in the background.
>>26896539
her hairline will always bother me slightly.
>>26896555
not entirely trueshe's still in the train in the intro
>>26896555
Well she's a Ponyville pony
>>26896555
She's probably in the hospital from critical meme overdose
>>26896543
Wow Teilight looks really fucking ugly without her wings!
>>26896521
>>26896555
>>26896561
The episodes took place in the crystal empire, japanese horse lives in ponyville.
why the fuck would you shape your house like a wizard's hat if you're not any good at magic
>>26896583
To attract wizard mares.
>>26896583
Compensation?
>>26896573
>hating on smoothback twily
SHOW ME YA BOOPS.
>>26896583
He probably always wanted to be an actual wizard, so it would reflect his aspirations in life
When Starlight showed up and though he was a bigshot he most likely decided to play along and lie to her about it so that she'd be impressed
>>26896597
What boop sluts.
>>26896597
>>26896583
it could have always been there and he just moved in.
the crystal empire did only recently show up
>>26896618
what the fuck
What's the new fringe ship MLPG?
>>26896590
It's an objective fact that winged-Twily has more opportunities for cute-pony-moments.
>>26896515
IMPOSTOR!
>>26896628
Trixie x Sunburst
>>26896628
Pinkie Pie x parties
>>26896628
BurstSentry
>>26896629
That doesn't make old Twily ugly.
>>26896647
>that
>fringe
>>26896447
She got into the Wonderbolts. She actually did something with her life. Of course we hate her.
>>26896652
what does fringe mean
>>26896628
this has been my favorite for a while honestly
just finished the episode
it was good
glad pony's back
what hot brony memes have I missed over the weekend
aside from dunking the crystal in to the heart, what are the ongoing responsibilities of a crystaller?
>>26896546
How can that bird even get off the ground with that huge butt?
>>26896546
The Bird Horse of Paradise is an Elegant Bird
It likes to be seen and it loves to be heard
When other little birdies fly away
The birds of the tiki room are here every dayIn the tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki room
In the tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki room
All the birds sing words and the flowers bloom
In the tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki-tiki room
>>26896692
It's hard work, but she manages.
>>26896692
easy
>>26896681
Well the crystaller has to do what you saw Sunburst do with Shiny, Condense, and McFlurry for every new crystal foal
>>26896738
What...
Filly Anon just walked into your room, laid down a teddy bear, and sat on its face. She's just sitting there now, watching you, occasionally wiggling her hips when you make eye contact.
I wish Twilight wasn't so smug and happy now
I wish she was still a sarcastic bitch
>>26896747
oh what the fuck
I thought they only did that for important foals
every birth gets crystalled?
>>26896692
twilights 7ft wingspan compensates for it
>>26896769
spray her with the spray bottle
>>26896790
She is now wet. Wetter.
>>26896782
>They get bigger when I pull on them.
>"I WANT IT ALL, MANG'"
>"GIMME ALL YOUR COKE AND CRYSTAL PONIES!"
>>26896778
Probably
>>26896834
Well, I guess if you're not skilled enough to achieve your dreams there's always government busywork for you to do
What a good lesson
https://derpiboo.ru/1118732
OH YES
>>26896855
GODDAMN IT
ANON YOU MOTHERFUCKER
DON'T LINK US THIS NASTY SHIT
>>26896855
Who didn't see this coming?
>>26896769
>tfw I will never have a filly anon to ravage
>>26896855
DELETE THIS
>>26896855
>she doesn't have a cock
fake and gay
>>26896855
Oh my
>>26896855
>>26896855
WELL SHIT
>>26896869
I feel the same way. I should have known this would happen but I'm so blindsighted by it.
>>26896881
Only princesses have cocks; McFlurry Hearts is just an alicorn.
>>26896855
>Hey Cadence what happened to Sunburst, I thought he was helping you take care of your Flurry Heart?
>You sent him to Gelding Groto; but why?
>>26896855
BUT WHAT ABOUT GLIMGLAM
>>26896901
All alicorns are princesses anon.
>>26896921
she isn't a princess yet so she doesn't have a cock
she briefly had one as a part of her equality experiment but not at the moment
>>26896855
I agree that drawn pedophilia isn't the same and shouldn't be treated as child porn
but how is this not creepy
>>26896931
nice meme
>>26896923
NOPE
No coronation, no princesshood
I should throw the pony really hard.
>>26896921
Sunburst is only interested in young mares
Like REALLY REALLY young
>>26896939
them fluffy wings tho
>>26896937
please don't unless you both have practiced
>>26896855
Unf
>>26896665
>something that is marginal, additional, or secondary to some activity, process, or subject
Pinkie Pie loves parties. That's recognized by everyone. Fringe would be more like, "Pinkie Pie x books." Nobody really automatically links the two.
>>26896939
Please only ship the stallions with their childhood friends and other stallions.
>>26896937
Just don't be like Pinkie and throw babies
>>26896485
comfiest pony
>>26896972
>and other stallions
just for that fuck you
ship them with foals
why do people love wings so much
>>26896989
That's a filly.
>>26896996
Because they're fantastic.
>>26896996
they're pretty and an extra set of limbs for snuggling
>>26896778
Apparently, it's the same as a baptism, and from what they said at the start of 601, every foal born in the Crystal Empire has to go through the Crystaling.
>>26896989
But faust just said that he likes dudes.
oh boy
>>26896576
That doesn't stop MemeBon and Lyra from showing up wherever they want
>>26896966
I thought fringe ship meant that both characters were unimportant/secondary characters
or that the ship itself was fringe, so it would be a less popular or unnoticed one, like Iron Will x Fluttershy
>>26897005
>>26897007
And warm and soft.
>>26896855
holy shit it happened
I'm going to start selling narcotics to ponies.
Benadryl.
Melatonin.
Those things that increase sperm production.
Five hour shots.
>>26897023
why are his eyebrows so far apart
>>26896996
the real question is why don't people love them enough?
>>26897056
>Those things that increase sperm production.
Those aren't narcotics
>>26897029
Those would be
>marginal, additional, or secondary
Zats zee joke.
>>26896855
>>26896666
Hold on there hypersatan
>>26897084
oh, I thought fringe ship was an actual term like otp or crack ship
I mean I knew both fit the definition
>>26896987
what if you were giving a bellyrub and he accidentally horseboner?
>>26897113
then I know I've giving him a good bellyrub
continue and maybe play with it
>>26896855
NOOOO
>>26897128
but he aint gay
>>26897160
it's not gay if it's a brojob
>you will never bellyrub centaurlestia
I want a frustrated Twilight to grab my head with her hoof and thrust her hips into my face.
>>26897160
That's not what Lauren Faust said
>>26897185
>Do it!
>But theres nothing the-MPH
>I said do it.
Twilight Joseph Joestar vs Kars nightmare moon
Where Twiligh'ts severed hoof boops her.
>>26897160
I hear there's a great and powerful wizard in the crystal empire
maybe he can make a woman out of me
>"Nice moves, DARSH!"
>>26897067
they are for ponies
even mild changes ponies experience heavily
a human energy drink would be like meth for a pony
pony is touching herself.
And then later, she'stouching you
I like the changes to the act.
>>26897298
NO WAIT STOP
>>26897298
Celestia has been a bad influence.
>>26897298
r-really?
>>26897312http://smaert.com/art.webm
Goodnight, MLPG.
>>26897305
I'd say it's an improvement
>>26897305
>Zipper on G strings
That makes no sense
>>26897305
Good to see that they found a stable source of income at the local nightclub
Maybe if they ask her really really nicely Sunset would take pity on them and let them spend the night at her place as opposed to their usual plan of sleeping in some back alley next to a dumpster
>>26897343
Spooning.
More like "let's see how much 'accidental' butt wiggling it takes to make him pop a boner."
>>26897113
https://derpibooru.org/627086
>>26897362
I think Twilight looks pretty good as a discord
>>26897351
Who needs pendants when you've got those
>>26897113
>>26897378
https://derpibooru.org/943154
>>26897379
discord is like rarity, any ship with him is auto 10/10
Just got around to watching it. It was OK not as good as last season, probably because it was way to centered around Glimmer and shoved 5 of the Mane aside to worthless roles. 3.5/5.0 stars
>>26897417
As twilights official new pupil we can probably expect to see her much more from now on as well.
>>26896738
I bet it was Trixie again.
Just throw in Derpy and it's a 10/10 episode.
>>26897467
please do not throw the Derpy
>>26897428
As long as it doesn't reduce every other ponies' roles to shit tier support. I don't quite like the idea of this becoming MLP: Starlight Glimmer down your throats.
>>26897370
>let them spend the night at her place
wait...
Did the movies even show where Sunset lives?
She's been in the EqG world for at least 4 years now, she has to be sleeping somewhere.
>>26897488
She probably has an apartment or something by now
Haber said that she has a job in the commentary of FG
>>26897488
In a foster home with Scootaloo
>>26897379
she does indeed
>>26897403
I am quite fond of them
>>26897485
glimglam is best glam
Sunset ShimmerEquestriadenial
>>26897549
fuck you
>>26897561
when?
>>26897572
when you let Sunset be a pony again
then, I will fuck youalternatively, let me be the pony and you can fuck me
AJ can plow fields pretty damn well eh?
>>26897589
Would you let her plow your beanfield?
>>26897609
twilight that is not the intended use of books
>>26897596
of course
I can pay her in apples
>>26897589
>>26897589
I'd plow her fields, if you know what I mean.By "fields", I mean "anus".
Filly is breaking up with you.
She expects you to tearfully ask for her to take you back after fourth period, at which point she'll change her facebook status to "it's complicated."
>>26897665
Filly, it's not complicated
I just love chugging stallion dick
You're not a stallion and you don't have a dick
and before you go getting any crazy ideas, going half-way won't cut it
I really like these two. I see a lot of potential in them.
Filly is having a hard time adjusting to human school.
Mostly because the lockers are like 3 higher than her.
And the pegasi refuse to help her.
>>26897687
embiggen the filly
>>26897694
Filly is now extremely disturbing to the rest of the class.
Mostly because her giant head is disproportional to her tiny body.
They can hear her blink.
>>26897678
It's far too late to salvage the Twilight clone, but Sunburst is good
>>26897678
the whole starlight/spike/sunburst side was the highlight of the 'sodes
>>26897709
I rilly, rilly want a Twilight smart magic unicorn study group episode.
>>26897678
I see a lot of potential for him to be in her heh heh heh
https://derpiboo.ru/1116592?scope=scpe5bd8f811b4b497f2608f2fbb593b841cdc6c3fef
>>26897703
you were supposed to embiggen the whole filly, dammit
>>26897727
Maybe Twilight and her nerdy mare friends can get Sunburst to come and make fun of his tiny penis!
>>26897589
I love it when the ponies are actually shown doing work.
It makes them seem a little bit more real, like there's shit going on offscreen all the time.
>>26897731
Now filly doesn't fit in with the rest of her class.
Literally. The door's too small.
>>26897731
I did.
But making their tiny legs big enough for a locker would make their relatively large heads huge.
>>26897763
yes this is good
>>26897728
>egg being attacked by sperm
UNF
>>26897763
Everythings too small when a filly gets that big
>>26897791
I love that tag
>>26897777
Filly disagrees and is now protesting for bigpone equality.
>>26897815
filly calm down I meant being big was good
>>26897846
What was all that anal training for, Twily?
>>26897846
Yeah those oversized anal plugs aren't designed to fit in.
You're supposed to squat down on them and feel the burrrrrn.
>>26897857
#BigLivesMatter, shitlord.
Sunburst's little cock.
>>26897846
We'll make it fit, little horse.
>>26897886
>He was never a good enough wizard to enlarge it himself
>but he knows half a dozen different ways to do so
>>26897886Sunburst's massive cock filling you full and still having over 5 inches left over
At some point she'll just destroy your rational mind and turn you into a sex hungry turbo-slut.
>>26897920
would you let a unicorn shrink you so he can feel big?
>>26897934
That sounds incredible, but Twiggle isn't my waifu, so I'll have to resist
>>26897934
well, that's my fetish so
>>26897920
>>26897934
>twilight turns you into a sex hungry turbo-slut for sunburst's massive cock
>>26897963
Keep struggling. You'll just make her wetter.
>>26897950
Of course
>>26897970
Sweet lord
>>26896855
Motherfucker you have sinned beyond mere blasphemy
>>26897886
>>26897918
Still trying to push the meme, huh
Re-watching the premiere, I'm enjoying it much more the second time. It's a little weird because the A-plot (Flurry Heart's Crystalling) and B-plot (Glimmer's reunion with Sunburst) are entirely unrelated right up until the B-plot provides the solution to the A-plot's problems. Each could probably be re-written separated from one another.
Though the stakes are turned up, the A-plot may as well just be Baby Cakes again. I actually enjoyed Baby Cakes, but it's one of the worst received episodes in the show so it should be no surprise that going back to the "baby ponies are crazy" well is not well received here. Baby Cakes was a slow-paced episode comprised primarily by filler-jokes about parenting, which isn't really appropriate for a two-part season premiere. I get the sense that they had the high-concept idea of wanting an antagonist that was in no way, shape, or form villainous and which could not be fought.
The B-plot was superb. Spike and Starlight played off one another perfectly, in a way that Spike and Twilight did in earlier seasons, before she was Princess Fix-It. Where Twilight has "grown" as a character and in ability over time, Starlight's flaws are still raw and fresh--she can be conniving, manipulative, prone to outbursts of anger, and have deep reservations about all the lessons that have been drilled into every other pony from the show's start. Spike was able to do what he does best by playing the straight man to her eccentricities. The B-plot is weighted by the A-plot, so it seems to drag a bit, but every part there works just right.
My only real concern coming out of the premiere is overlap between Starlight and Twilight. If Starlight now serves to advance friendship problems for which Twilight is no longer suitable, how does Twilight get used? Does she get relegated to large-scale threat episodes only? Are her only lessons that of a new teacher? I hope she isn't too diminished.
>>26898018
Twi might get an episode and maybe even an appearance in the finale
Drawing the Twilight portion of that one request if you guys wanna watchhttps://picarto.tv/AJRinxooacjDoodles
The subterranean fillies are almost ready to invade the surface world.
>>26898018
Starlight needs to learn about Friendship, not solve friendship problems.
Friendship problems from the map still fall under the jurisdiction of Twilight and Co.
>>26898063
You know there's going to be an episode where the S team takes over for the mane 6.
>>26898068
The S team?
Anyway, yes I actually expect an episode where Glimmer is sent for a friendship problem as a trial by fire kind of thing.
>>26898103
Sounds like a possible set up to the finale actually
>>26898058
Morlock filly pls
>>26898103
Starlight team.
The T team is obviously Twi's.
>>26898112
It could be a repeat of the premiere.
Glimmer's subplot is about her putting all the friendship things she learned to test and by succeeding she provides a essential piece to the main plot for Twilight and friends to succeed.
>>26898127
And the Starlight team is made of...
my heart broken is but at least Big Macintosh is an option
I fixed him.
>>26898136
Double diamond
Bun in the oven
Balloon sniper
And the rest.
>>26898139
you leave his facial hair and his enormous testes alone
testing powerful magic on an alicorn baby seem pretty dangerous
>>26898145
>Night Glider doesn't get to be in the theme song until the second season
>>26898138
I think she is just sick of the constant reminder that her baby is being beaten and raped.
>Faust can't have a healthy baby
>the false alicorn that ushered in the destruction of her dreams can
it's almost poetic
>>26898139
>no goatee
RUINED
>>26898139
ruined*
>>26898174
who was testing?
Sunburst knew what he was talking about when it came to the spells
>>26898145
Hm...I dunno.
What if during the Glimmer episodes she ends up making a new friend each time, and that small team ends up in the finale? I mean we already got Sunburst
Get real scrunchy
>>26898197
It'd be interesting.
I'm still kind of disappointed rainbow power frens didn't make an appearance in the finale.
>>26898068
>>26898103
>Twilight is called to the Crystal Empire by Sunburst because he suspects something is wrong with Flurry Heart
>The Mane 6 go up there and find that Sunburst is in disagreement with Shining and Cadence, who think there's nothing wrong and that Sunburst is just a crank.
>The Mane 6 wind up siding against Sunburst.
>Badda-bing, badda-boom, with her greatest threats collected, Queen Chrysalis appears and reveals the baby to be a changeling, hyper-charged by the endless shower of love.
>The Mane 6 and all present get BTFO, but Sunburst manages to launch an S.O.S. to Starlight, who must, with others, save the day.
>Does so in some way that delightfully highlights abilities she previously used as a villain.
>>26898018
what are you some kind of fucken professional writer making a fancy post like that
>>26898201
why do the ponies scrunch
>>26898212
That ability being "going back in time"?
>>26898212
Guarantee you someone's writing that already
Or that it's already been written
>>26898196
how could you know the spells are safe when an alicorn baby has never existed before
>>26898212
>Glimmer being the main hero and making the main cast useless
No. Sorry anon, I hope that Glimmer gets a decent role but more than that no.
>>26898212
>Does so in some way that delightfully highlights abilities she previously used as a villain.
>Goes back in time and politely asks Twilight to take Sunburst seriously
>she doesn't
>Goes back in time and warns everyone about Chrysalis
>no one believes her
>Goes back in time, waits for Chrysalis to reveal herself and immolates the hell out of her
>>26898212
Manipulation queen masquerades as a changeling in disguise.
>>26898219
the guy who invented the scrunch is a true hero and we will never know who he was
>>26898218
apple why are you so pretty
>>26898250
Where was the first instance of the scrunch?
>>26898236
any sort of depowered alicorn baby is safer than an alicorn baby who is constantly blasting holes in walls
can you imagine what would have happened to a pony hit by one of those beams that punctured multiple floors of crystal castle?
Filly did not slay the jabberwack.
Colt was eaten by a grue.
wait what is glimmers special talent? stealing cutiemarks isnt it is it?
that seems like a pretty great power for fighting bad guys
>>26898228
That or she utilizes some redemption-upgraded Cutie Mark Magic explored during the season through the CMC.
>>26898238
Maybe she doesn't recruit an entire S-team but is able to liberate the Mane cast such that they are then together able to save the day.
Maybe she uses time-fuckery to beat down the door with an army of herself.
Maybe she covertly snatches Twilight's cutie mark for her own use, then finishes her part of the rescue with DBZ force.
Maybe she really fucks with the time-space continuum and pulls a fully-grown-and-operational Flurry Heart from the future to help save herself.
Maybe she's just a top cunt in a way that makes Chryssi fuck up
I would be surprised if she is not a key figure in the finale, given that the premiere gave her a plot of her own.
>>26898286
It'smagic
>>26898269
To be fair the crystal castle seems pretty fragile.
>>26898288
In the finale she specifically notes that the spell she used sends her back in time only to that specific point and only when somebody casts the spell needed to get there. She can't just travel through time at will.
>>26898307
she has like a whole season to study magic before the finale
maybe she gets gud
>>26898286
Hoping we get an episode about how she earned her qtmark. Maybe it'll make her motivation for becoming a villain less stupid.
>>26898307
Given the premiere dispensed with the story bible's idea that Celestia and Luna were born alicorns, I wouldn't be surprised to see Starlight's abilities grow by the end of the season, especially as she learns the MAGIC OF FRIENDSHIP
But I'm just spitballing. Time fuckery is probably unlikely if only because (1) it's hard to write and (2) how do you integrate the season's lessons into it?
