Group 29 - Changeling Kingdom

[KH7672 1,604]

Good morning, everyone! My name is Starlight Glimmer and joining me today-

Is none other than the Great and Powerful Trixie!

Yep, and we're here with-

Spike, um, why are you wearing a fake mustache?

Haven’t you heard they’re making a comeback, just look at the top competitors over the past few groups, yeah I’m not one to break up the trend.  It wouldn’t surprise me if Cattail does well enough for that reason.

Oh, if we’re getting dressed up let me get my cloak!

Trixie, couldn’t you have at least waited before we finish the gree…and she’s gone.

Well while we’re waiting on her let me, Thorax as the official king of the Changeling Kingdom welcome everyone to this group of the competition. If you don’t know since we’re all good friends in this group, we thought we’d do some live commentary during today’s events. 

Wow, this is really weird doing all this official stuff, yet it’s so exhilarating.

Yep, so we’ll be talking about the stats as they happen, and we’ll check in on the other competitors as they see fit.  Whatever happens we’re also available to reach out to and…okay now this thing is getting itchy.

Trixie has returned! What did I miss?

Nothing in fact it hasn’t even started yet, so while we wait for it to begin, let’s take this time to welcome everyone and say good luck out there to the competition it’s going to be a tough one alright.

Good luck everyone, and thanks for joining us, we’ll be back as soon as it begins!

The day’s finally here! The chance has finally come to vote for the cutest, sweetest pony there ever was. Sure, she had a rough start, she did some things she regrets, but she was taught a valuable lesson and she made her amends. Come on, vote for the one, the only... Coco Pommel!

Spoiler

 

Seriously, though, go Starlight and Trixie, the Greatest and Most Powerful Duo there ever was!

 

Spoiler

Go Starlight, I’m rooting for you!

 

[ChB 18,532]

Let’s go Starlight, let’s go!!!!  

[Goat-kun 2,496]

Vote for Spike the Brave and Glorious, a true hero without whom this group wouldn't even exist.

Fixed it for you!

 

[Ashen Pathfinder 16,151]

Well, two of my votes are obvious; considering my biases.

However, vote #3 was a LOT tougher, considering my admiration for Spike, Coco, and Thorax, but in this case, I am going with Cattail due to him being EXTREMELY likeable and related to best Pillar. <3

[FlareGun45 2,221]

Spike, Starlight, and Thorax! But it would seem like Trixie is beating Thorax! :3

[Jeric 46,834]

Fleetfoot is tied for last with Diamond Tiara, both of whom would have a strong shot at qualifying in many other groups. 

And DT's best moments right here.

[Hierok 11,829]

Trixie, Starlight, Spike and Thorax in one group? Sorry Thorax, but I can't choose all... 

[KH7672 1,604]

I already know my special talent is getting ponies to do what I want, so it’s obvious that since I want it you’re going to vote for m-

-------Ugh, why is so hot here, actually I’m taking the cloak off for now.

OH COME ON ARE YOU SERIOUS!?

This is the group I’m in? I go through an entire redemption story and finally look good in the eyes of people but now I get shoved in a group with these four? There is no way that’s fair!

Hey, you know you’re not the only one who’s going to be struggling in this group.

Oh, what’s it matter to you Miss, I’m the little working girl and I can do no wrong, like you’ll have any trouble gaining votes including the ones you already have! I don’t want to hear about your apparent struggle.

Are you insinuating I’ve never struggled in my life? I’ve worked my way up to the top in the fashion industry, that’s way more than you have done, little miss my mother gives me everything.

Really, you’re big in the fashion industry? Well why didn’t you wear something new to show us then, huh?

I was going to but then I ran into Applejack and she kind of…um…

I’m sorry speak up, I can’t hear you Miss, oh what’s your name, oh that’s right we’re legally not allowed to say your name anymore, what a shame.

Well at least I still get lines and mentions. You haven’t been relevant since that day.

Oh yeah, well…

All right enough, we don’t need to get this anymore heated.

You do know you’re arguing with a child, right?

I’m sorry, I guess I’ve just had all this pent up stress from all the struggles in my work, I let it out. It was almost as exhilarating as standing up to Suri.

Wait you worked for Suri Polomare? Ugh, my family hates her! I’m mean I hate her a little bit more because ponies kept thinking she was my mom, but seriously lying, cheating. My mom may be a heartless braggart, but she would never stoop that low, not with the success my family already has.

Tell me about it, she was probably the worst working experience I’ve ever had like this one time…

Huh, well that went smoother than expected.

Yeah, I thought you were going to have to magic them apart or teleport them away.

Wha-now why would I do that, I’m not some magic crazed pony, am I?

Actually, don’t answer that because the next pony who opens their mouth, I’m going to seal it shut for the rest of the competition!

Is there anything to do around he….

*MMPHM*

…….

What? I warned everypony this time? Come on, I was just playing it up.

No wait Cranky come back it was just a joke, I’m sorry!

We’ll be right back.

[Sparklefan1234 161,641]

I voted for:

1. Starlight Glimmer
2. Trixie
3. Coco Pommel

[Goat-kun 2,496]

Still behind? Time to unleash the second ultimate weapon!

[KH7672 1,604]

Cranky, I am so, so, so, so, sorry.  I never should have gotten you involved just for a stupid joke.

All right, I get it! You can stop now, who thought apologizing could be just as annoying as constant friendship hounding.

We just want to make sure Starlight didn’t ruin your potential for a good time today.

In this competition, I’m going to be honest with you I don’t care who wins.

But you could win. You’ve been in the fandom’s eyes for a while now so who knows.

Would you stop interrupting me and let me finish! This has nothing to do with me feeling less than everyone else, I just don’t care for this competition in general.  Matilda didn’t make it into her group so if I don’t make it in then there’s no reason to be invested and besides now I can spend time with my wife and not waste it on some dumb competition.

Now if you excuse me I’m going to see what these changelings do around here for entertainment.

Oh, I’d recommend the crafts table or the drama center!

And whatever you do don’t try the food!

[Oleks 1,983]

OK, Starlight and Trixie are irresistible, but the third pick is tough.
I need to vote for someone really worthy, but who? The number one assistant and the most underappreciated main cast member? Supercute fashion pony? Wonderbolt with creepy voice? Softy changeling king? Or the redeemed filly villain that I desperately want to see in the next season?

Oh, I know!
votes for Cranky

[ThunderCrush 1,850]

Ohh this looks so fun, I wish I had seen it sooner. And props to the person who started this, very creative and a great way to get everyone involved!

[Totally Nyx 35,474]

Eh, looks like another battle of principle here. My votes are going to Diamond Tiara and Fleetfoot, no third.

I don’t think that’s going to change anything.

Oh I know, I’m just messing around.  I’m doing well enough in this competition, so you totally deserve that support.

Oh wow. StarTrix is kinda dominating. Looking over all the stills, this duo is certainly expressive. 

 

CAPTION THIS

"You aren't suppose to do the teacup spell as you eat tea cakes Trixie!"

[Prospekt 10,984]

This is so tough... 

I chose Starlight, Trixie, and Thorax, but I might change one of the votes to Spike before the vote ends. I think Starlight and Trixie belong in a group together, but so do Spike and Thorax.

CAPTION THIS

Oh, that’s an easy one:

So here is when Starlight and Trixie were hiding from Changelings with invisibility and they were holding their breath. So after Starlight lifted the spell, Trixie was so nervous that she hyperventilated and Starlight had to calm her down, and prepared to teleport them away outside where I met them later.

No no, I think you’re supposed to give it some kind of quote that they’d be saying in this situation like:

“Starlight I’m choking” “Okay, hold still let me help you”

Or maybe with your kind of situation it would be:

“Help, Starlight I can’t catch my breath, I’ve been holding it for too long” “Okay calm down and just breathe normally.”

…………

You two have no idea how the Caption Game works do you?

Caption what now?

Pony Joker is getting almost no love! Shame ... would be fun having Spike face Mane-iac solo in the Wildcard! 

Just a few more votes for her and that could ve a real match!

Wonderbolt with creepy voice?

Hey, I thought everypony says the lisp is cute. No matter, the Wonderbolts have plenty of representation in the cup, although tied for that final spot in the Wild Card round that is something.

I still can’t believe how well I’m doing, there’s actually a chance I could go far in this competition.  Well, not Meadowbrook far, but still another round up is pretty impressive.

I still can’t believe I’m second to last, ugh, Silver Spoon had an easier time than this…wherever she went with Sunset Shimmer.

Hey don’t worry about it, try to remember this is a team competition so if they feel a better team is suited together and considering their all friends it’s probably for the best.

Listen I don’t need your goody-four shoes teammate speech, let me sulk in the impending results in the competition.

Well, if that’s how you feel, fine I won’t share my training snacks with you if you’re not willing to give it your all.

Wait you brought actually food with you?!

Certainly, and I’ll be willing to share with you as long as you stop moping about the competition, no matter how low you are.

Of course, anything to avoid eating bugs!
