Uh, no...

[Nightfall Gloam 18,295]

Hold on, Maud gets a boyfriend in this episode?

I legit want to see this! Hilarity will ensue, I'm certain.

Might trigger one of my friends on a Discord server I'm part of tho

That would be interesting for sure, but I doubt it.

I like this episode idea. Families not approving of boyfriends/girlfriends is actually pretty common in our world. Excited to see how this episode turns out!

Whoa! Long time no see. 

Not sure it's Svengallop, bit at least that would be a backdoor way to have Rara guest again.

 

[Steve Piranha 29,499]

In the leaked Hearts and Hooves episode with Big Mac and Sugar Belle, it was a gothic looking stallion. So, no Svengallop

[cmarston1 5,965]

So Maud is getting a boyfriend.  Huh.  Out of all of the characters in the show, I never really thought she of all ponies would be involved in a romantic relationship.  I wonder how this will play out, and why she would be attracted to him in the first place.

Hopefully this will turn out better than the last time one of the pie sisters were involved with romance.  But given that Maud has an actual personality unlike Marble, all that really needs to be done to elevate this miles above Marblemac would be for Maud's boyfriend to not be related to her in any sort of way.

This is going to be interesting episode.

[FirePuppy 739]

I'm kinda hoping that Pinkie will be the only member of the Mane Six in this episode, not counting what you see here:

For what I know, there's another Pinkie Pie episode (her ONLY other one this season, in fact, that I heard) where this image most likely more belongs to.

[Dark Qiviut 22,656]

Nick Confalone reveals himself to be the writer for the episode. OP edited accordingly.

[sweetolebob18 728]

I'm hoping for Prince Blueblood, but I doubt it

Who would've guessed that Maud of all characters would end up getting a boyfriend. When you think about it, her personality makes her incompatible with most ponies save for those that she chooses to be friends with, but I guess one lucky colt managed to win her heart.

[ShadOBabe 19,058]

Maud gets a boyfriend?? WAHT? XD

I can’t wait for this!! 

[Hierok 11,833]

Maud and a boyfriend... Well, as long as it is Tom I'm okay with it! 

[Will Guide 21,376]

@Dark Qiviut

Why are you putting episode discussions THIS early? It's barely a month away.

As for the episode itself, I doubt it's Svengallop, Blueblood, or Tom.

I was hoping it could be that character from the Simple Ways episode....right?

I second your opinion...but not entirely!

Let me explain: it would be really cool to see an episode like that, but I guess it would kinda...ehm...change the way we see the Pinkie we know, since she would not be all joyful and excited for her sister, and in my opinion, that could change totally the perspective of the situation, even in more than just an episode (unless, of course, something happens...maybe in the season finale...). Furthermore, this thing could bring to a difficul  relationship between the two of them. All right, maybe I'm just going too deep, but who knows...

[Van123 29]

That may sound sad. maud pie is the older sister can have a couple (she does not like me because she never smiles) and she is Gothic as Raven (teen titans) and now we have a Gothic male Raven. they will not be shown as an emotion of infatuation they will only put on that same face without emotions.

Pepper Clark had a boyfriend and is captain cuddles from LPS.

Why did you say 'right'? Are you actually that unsure what you were hoping for that you had to type it out to help you decide?

It will probably also have Starlight Glimmer trying to be the voice of reason. 

 

 

This is possibly going to be another one of those episodes where a segment of the fans cry foul in how a character acts prompting me to go into actual real world experiences about this sort of scenario. 

I swear we'll see at least one comment about how Pinkie wasn't respecting Maud's wishes, and that it's a repetitive moral. Just watch.

Makes sense to do it that far in advance, especially for engagement reasons. When it was just something that staff did, some threads would go up really early. Hell, I had some set BEFORE we even had an airdate back in Season 5 and 6.

You still have the rights for this idea right?

I actually halve expect the romeo to be feather bangs
