:squintyjack:

I'm inwardly pretty :awesomedash: about this episode, but I'm reeling it in because it's always better to be :vogue: going into an episode.

I like that this sounds like one of the only times (from the sound of things) that we have a character being genuinely spiteful in a way that's pretty understandable for a kid sister but also not particularly excusable too.

I like horses being imperfect, and it sounds like a cool point for the episode to build from. Yus.

Hub has released the first teaser image about the episode

Image

And when the original tweet has been retweeted 400 times, there probably will be new teaser.

Is that supposed to be Rarity in those clouds? Were it not for the horn I would think Sweetie Belle was having nightmares about Fluttershy.

Has to be, the caption suggests Luna is coming in the next pic. (Why are there only 276 retweets so far...?)

Sweetie Belle must feel a lot of guilt for his actions when she sees nightmares like that. That's my understanding of the situation.

e: The original tweet has now 302 retweets.

With the way cloud-Rarity is laughing, maybe Sweetie Belle sees her sister as overshadowing her.

Rarity. Raining on Sweetie Belle's parade. Yay, dreamscape!

I'm hoping this bit of Luna/CMC interaction goes better than Scootaloo's. The comics -really- are raising my ideals for how far they can go with the Princesses as characters.

I wonder if Celestia and Luna consider the CMC any more important than regular kids due to their relations to three of the Mane Six. Or maybe Luna has just taken the truth of what came between herself and Celestia, and begun spreading it to all of the little siblings of Equestria?

Probably the latter, and even then I would say that it had little to do with that. I'm guessing it's just an attempt to be more visible and use her power over the night for good.
...and yet despite all the faults, I enjoyed it. That's all that really matters in the end.

My head cannon is still that the dream visiting thing is something her and Celestia worked on after she came back as a way for her to interact with her subjects at night, and avoid the loneliness that led to her resentment and transformation into Nightmare Moon.

"Don't let jealousy consume you, as it did me." or something similar is what I'm getting from Luna there.

:speakest: Harken to me. Bear her no ill will. I have had an eternity of experience being the ugly, short, and under-appreciated younger sister and I
:smirk: Your words, not mine.
:speakest: -And I have always been overshadowed by her.
:unenthused: the irony has not been lost on me.
:ohboy: Say... How are you the younger sister? Infinity minus one is still infinity!

I kinda miss season one when Celestia made an appearance every fourth episode or so. C'mon you two, you're in the intro, FFS.

:ohboy: What'd ya do that got your sister all ticked off at you? Did ya get some lunar cheese all over her crown or something?
:speakest: no, twas a quarrel of another sort, entirely.
:ohboy: Once I stole Rarity's diary and printed if up in the school newspaper. Boy did I ever get a talking-to! Was it something like that?
:speakest: no, it was more of an existential conundrum coming to a head manifesting itself in an unfortunate transformation.
:ohboy: what
:unenthused: What do they teach the children in school these days?
:ohboy: huh?

Probably about as close as we'll get to having Nightmare Rarity in the show, sadly. This episode looks like fun. Still hoping for a flashback or a bit of Rarity/Celestia interaction.

This one is going to be awesome. Pretty sure the episode will produce an Enter Sandman PMV. And possibly a For Whom The Bell Tolls one (Luna is best metalhead pony after all :-P ). \m/

Sweetie Belle and Luna in one episode together.

It can't get any better than this.
