What is that anthropomorphized "germ" thing on the label? C'mon 1080p!

Was she redesigned? I don't know if I noticed anything specifically. We didn't see a whole lot of her here, but it looked like they were being pretty faithful to the existing Fillyshy design (plus cutie mark).
What's interesting to me about that, though, is that they had to have made a conscious decision to add her cutie mark to the old character design; which means they did spend the planning time to figure out when that flashback scene took place. That couldn't have happened by accident. I just love knowing they're thinking about this stuff, even if they don't call it out explicitly. In fact I like it better if they don't mention it outright, but leave it as an easter egg for people to figure out who are paying attention. That's like the perfect balance that this show has and always has had: they don't beat you over the head with the worldbuilding, nor do they just leave the status quo alone and lazy it out. They put in the thought and let it shape how the show turns out via all the little textural background details and such.
By the way, I'm cracking up at Twilight spraying the fuck out of Thunderlane with a can of Lysol.What is that anthropomorphized "germ" thing on the label? C'mon 1080p!

There is that pride possibility, but eh, it would simply have been better if she had joined up. They still could have been a little short and everything would have held up just as fine.

Rumble in particular is really getting into it; she's got her wings out and hovering with a big smile.

I'm still absorbing everyone else's opinions here. Taking a while to come down off this high.

just to think about how bizarre an idea it is compared to the realism of the day-to-day social dynamics going on these days.
I HATE LOSING








But it fits really well here so no complaints)









infested moment please...


(This direct vertical flying feels like a reference to something, but I have no idea what. Or is it simply getting out of the dark into the increasing light?)




I'm almost tempted to use the image as an avatar as well, but I'm fairly sure someone's claimed it sans-guitar.

Also, people have commented on how surprised they were to see RD being so considerate and understanding of Fluttershy in this episode. But if you pay attention, you notice that she really only backs off once Fluttershy mentions that the major issue is her having to do this in front of a crowd and the pressure to succeed with all those ponies watching her, silently judging her...
Now why would Rainbow Dash be sympathetic to another pony in that position, I wonder?

we've been seeing all season. It's felt like it's building up to something all along (like Fluttershy's mental state getting gradually more and more off-balance episode by episode up until she completely loses it at the Gala), and this is what they've been hinting at the whole time.

Couldn't they have fiddled with it a little?
