Zen

Currently, I have two songs stuck in my head, both are pretty different from each other. One is Skeletons on Parade by Ludo, the other is Blank Space by Taylor Swift:

The episode was good- I suppose, it was as good as it could have been. My interest in MLP was admittedly dying (as I have discovered shows I love so much more), but this has once again grabbed my attention and made me remember why I love this show so much. The supporting cast was great, Rarity truly shined in this episode, the song was decent enough, and the dresses were beautiful. I know that if I could, I would wear each and every one of them. There was nothing really wrong with this episode- nothing I would have liked changed. It's very interesting to finally see another one of the mane 6 achieve their goals/destiny. It was always, at least in my mind, endgame that Rarity would go to Canterlot and open a boutique. I did believe she was going to move there near the ending of the show, but I do like the idea that she wants Ponyville to be her base of operations. I want to see where she'll go from here- Rarity achieved her goals, so what is there for her now? Will she open more boutiques, will she become an even more famous fashion designer? These are questions I would very much like answers to, but I'm sure I won't get them until later on. Sassy Saddles- I think her name was- was a good character in her own right. I'm very pleased that the writers didn't make her this throwaway character, this bad guy that ruined Rarity's boutique and wanted the store for herself or etc, etc. Though at first I must admit I did think it was headed towards that direction. I would like to see more of her, and I wonder if we're going to have more "Rarity and Sassy" episodes in the future. I admittedly came out of the episode shipping the Luna and Celestia dress wearers. I actually drew a piece of fanart before I scrapped it, haha. One thing that caught me off guard was the overweight pony at the end of the episode. Don't get me wrong, I love to see diversity in characters, but it was just out of nowhere. She seemed more like some gag rather than a character. Unfortunately, I've already seen plenty of jokes made at the expense of her weight- art depicting her as the 'princess of bacon', saying things like: "Woahh what a fat whale.". Yikes. As someone who's struggled with her body image for years and has had every fat joke in history hurled at her, the way that the fandom is treating the character is rather uncomfortable to me. But what can you do about it. Overrall, the episode was likeable. Can't wait for the next Rarity episode (I'm finishing up my fanart of Rarity in her beautiful detective outfit)!

Hi @Woodie Pecker! Due to the wording of this thread, there is the strong possibility of it derailing, turning into a fight, and etc. I'm gonna lock this thread, there's a thread for a least favorite pony here!

Hi @PonyWaifu! This thread does not seem to have a coherent idea and will make it harder for others to understand and hold a lengthy discussion. As such, this thread will be locked.

@Celli, as this most likely won't lead to much long-term discussion, this topic will be locked. I suggest making this a blog so more people can see it anyway.

Hi @shynight01! For future reference, threads about video games/books/movies/tv shows/technology go in Media Discussion. However, I'll actually be locking this thread as we already have a dedicated thread about this here.

*takes deep breath* Skyrim, Fallout, Dragon Age: Inquisition, Mass Effect, L.A Noire, Destiny, Tomb Raider, Bioshock (1, 2, & Infinite), Shovel Knight, Team Fortress 2, World of Warcraft.. I could go on for ages. The shorter list would be games I'm good at: most Nintendo games, Minecraft, Portal, and Borderlands. I suck at video games: I can't aim, I get lost really easily, I have really bad hand-eye coordination. So most games are a no-go.
