[Blind Reaction] MLP:FiM S08E17 - The End in Friend

[@Schornforce]

Don't forget-- Rarity's also a bit of a workaholic-- aside from spa trips. Every time she does stuff, she's "on" when planning fashions and such. As an artist, I can kinda relate-- take your inspirations when you get them-- if you don't jot them down, you can forget them.

[@autumbreeze1129]

I can relate to that too. Back in 2012 my dad and I went to Japan and on day 4, while we were looking around the Osama Tetsuka museum, I saw a single picture that sparked a whole story involving a Japanese mermaid and I had no means of writing it down jots points properly for the rest of our time in Japan (3 more weeks) and I had to make sure I kept it in my mind til we got back home. It wasn't easy remembering it all throughout the whole trip. Would've really been so much easier if I'd just been able to write it down

[@miraculouseveraftersforeve91]

By Twilight and, to a lesser degree Starlight, trying to show how friends that don't share many of the same interests can still be friends, our Princess of Friendship and her ex-protege accidentally triggered a friendship problem between Rarity and Rainbow Dash, and they almost ended their friendship. Irony at it's finest. Starlight did have to pay for it by being stuck being like a couple's counselor for them lol

(Continued from my other comment.) 10:11-10:50 This is actually a pretty good strategy by Starlight. Reading is something they both have in common. Too bad neither are not willing to put in the effort. 10:43 Hi Lyra and Bon-Bon. 10:54-11:31 Rarity insults the names and action sequences in Daring Do. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 11:31 More growling. 11:32-11:35 Starlight offers tea and cucumber sandwiches. 11:35-11:41 I really wonder what Lyra and Bon-Bon are talking about in the background. 11:42-11:49 Rainbow Dash insults the clothing descriptions in Shadow Spade. 11:57-12:00 Rainbow Dash yawns in Rarity's face. 12:01-12:17 Rarity deduces that Rainbow Dash didn't even read her book. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 12:17-12:44 Very subtle writers. Very subtle indeed. 12:20-12:39 Rainbow Dash and Rarity grow even more distant. Ponies look on and gasp. 12:40-13:30 You know this is all a set-up, right? 12:50-12:53 Twilight is a bad actor. 12:53-12:57 That's right, don't mind what's going on in here random pony walking past the door. 12:54-13:09 Don't you remember, Applegeek? It was one of the treasures featured in Matter of Principals. 13:31-13:37 I said it first, Applegeek. 13:32-13:41 Detective Rarity is on the case. Her eye for detail is why she's perfect for the job. 13:44-13:50 Rainbow Dash find a convenient clue. Also, Applegeek is cleverer than her. 13:50-13:58 Rarity points out the difference in colour. 13:56 Rainbow Dash's face. 13:59-14:07 Rainbow Dash follows the trail, leaving Rarity behind. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 14:09-14:12 Pop song reference! 14:09-14:14 Wait - is that an animation error? Or are those sparkles floating on water and in mid-air?! 14:16-14:22 I didn't realise that. I thought they were just something the animators included to give the sound effects guys a hard time. 14:22-14:55 Rainbow Dash deduces that Rarity didn't even read her book either. 14:55-14:58 "Oopsie." Also, that smile and Applegeek's reaction. 14:57-15:01 Rainbow Dash claims she and Rarity are done after they find the missing amulet. 15:01-15:06 You see, those sparkles are floating. 15:13-15:24 Rarity finds some claw tracks. 15:26-15:36 Seriously, what is up with the physics of those sparkles? 15:32-15:36 Rarity shudders at the thought of wading through a swamp. Also, her face. 15:36-15:54 Rainbow Dash tests the water's deepness using a trick she learnt from Scootaloo. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 15:53-16:06 Rainbow Dash tries to fly across but the hot geysers stop her. 16:08-16:28 Rarity builds a raft behind Rainbow's back. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 16:28-16:31 Rainbow Dash thinks the raft is awesome! 16:37-16:50 What else don't we know about Rarity? 16:48-16:52 Rainbow Dash pulls a Scootaloo - using her wings as propellers. Applegeek said it first. 17:04-19:12 Rarity and Rainbow Dash encounter a Boofergrin - a giant six-eyed toad with sensitive ears and terrible breath. 17:07-17:10 That scream and face. 17:26-17:28 Wait - do frogs even have ears? 17:33-17:50 Bad breath. I literally thought Rainbow Dash and Rarity were going to vomit. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 17:45 Rarity with her tongue hanging out. 17:50 Rarity's face. 17:56-18:02 Rarity turns into a dog. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 18:10-18:20 Rainbow Dash makes a cloud. Rarity thinks it's adorable. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 18:18-18:32 Rarity makes toothpaste. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 18:23-18:59 Rarity wearing her neckerchief as a balaclava. 18:28-18:32 Tell me about it. I wonder if she's the unicorn who invented that remedy. 18:42 "Very now. Very chic." 18:45-18:59 The Boofergrin eats the remedy. His mouth becomes fresh and minty. 19:09-19:12 You're only just noticing the sparkles are floating, Applegeek? 19:12-19:25 Rainbow Dash flies Rarity up the mountain. 19:25-20:35 That door has the school's crest on it. Subtle much? 19:40-19:44 You're right, Applegeek. She does read too much Daring Do. 19:44-20:02 Rarity's boot has a heel in it that acts as a lock-pick. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 20:02-20:32 Rarity and Rainbow Dash reconcile. And then hug. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 20:36-20:45 The school has secret passages? I'm with Dash, that is awesome. 20:46-21:06 Spike 'stole' the amulet. But it was all a set-up to get Dash and Rarity back together again. 21:04-21:09 That line. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 21:09-21:36 Dash and Rarity explain why they're friends. 21:41-21:55 Dash and Rarity agree to go shopping for Buckball gear and fan attire. 21:45-21:45 Rarity trotting and making horse noises. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 21:49-21:51 Rainbow Dash's smile. 22:11-22:34 Applegeek applauds the episode. Overall, this story was really interesting to me. There haven't been many episodes focusing on just Dash and Rarity, and this one takes full advantage of the fact that they don't share much in common. It's good to see friends working through their differences. But its also good to see the series acknowledging their 'Mane' characters still have flaws between them. You never stop developing after all. The next episode is one that aired early - perhaps we'll find out why when we see it.

[@pseudonymousentity5334]

Nerdy side note, it kinda depends on what those gems are. In example...Diamond is the 'hardest' natural material in the world. However, it’s also brittle. Scientifically speaking, hardness measures the ability to resist scratching, nothing more. Like the saying: If you hit a diamond with a hammer, it’ll shatter into a dozen pieces. Hit a piece of quartz with a hammer, it’ll split in two.

[@Randerson2409]

I really like this episode, because I think a lot of people have probably had an experience where they just don't understand their friend's interests (I certainly have). I love how this show is able to give nice, fairly realistic representations of things a lot of people, kids and adults alike, go through

[@SpacialRend7]

Personally, I rank “Rarity Investigates” over this Rainbow Dash and Rarity episode. The one flaw that’s in this one is how easily predictable that “missing artifact” stunt was. It happened to quickly and the footprints that Spike left behind beside the trail was a dead giveaway. It’s a good episode but, not better than the last episode these two shared.

[@bonbonpony]

02:16 The question I was asking to myself for 7 seasons :J 04:09 I guess they're guinea ponies from now on? :> 05:35 More like BOOT? :> And I guess all the feetishists out there are having a stroke right now ;J 05:58 And in the very next moment, Rarity makes a horse noise :q 06:08 You forget Rari tee ;J 06:10 Naah, they didn't break the record set by the MLP Movie yet :q 07:12 Not centrally on screen, I guess? :P 07:43 If they broke that easily, I don't they were real gems anyway :q I think the floor of that cave may be worth more :P 08:20 It's quite interesting that there's not many ponies that could hang along with Rarity and not get mad immediately :J Applejack got mad as fast as in season 1 ("Look Before You Sleep"). So it's quite impressive that Rainbow Dash made it as far as season 8. But I guess it's because they didn't interact with each other too much and too close before this episode. 09:22 Wow, they're already like an old married couple :D 09:47 This is getting me the vibes of one of the recent animations by Agrol ;> But I'm not sure if you've seen it yet, so I shut up... 10:20 Wow, Starlight knows so much about each of them. She must have really been spying on them for a long time :D 10:26 ...and crap all over them. What a great idea! ;J 12:26 OH JUST KISS ALREADY!!! :P 12:35 Well, a better idea would be to take some advices from those two ponies in the background ;> 13:01 If that's true, then I don't think it's the brigtest idea to keep them in the school, without any security precautions :P 13:49 But Rainbow Dash distinguishes only two colours: "cool" and "gay". Well, now when I think of it, these are those exact colours :q 14:35 Well, they either meant Lazurite (lapis lazuli) which is made of a mix of all sorts of blue-ish and gold tiny crystalls, or one of the well-known WoW servers Azurithium :P 15:54 If you studied magic like Twilight, you could teleport to the other side, or at least levitate yourself :q 18:05 Whoa, this spell would be creepy if applied in combat :S I don't feel so good...... . . . . . . . 19:49 Well, at least it's not Assassin's Creed style daggers or something :g

[@yt4ever651]

I really wish Rarity was more into magic as well, so that she would know a teleportation spell like Twilight and Starlight.

[@bonbonpony]

Yeah, me too. I wish more Unicorns used their magic for some more impressive things than just levitating pencils. It's like being a Pegasus and having wings, but using them only to hover over the ground most of the time :q

[@ИльяАнтонов-с5б]

7:45 Well, Maud did say they very common gems.(So more crafting one like Turquoise, Amber, Lazurite and e.t.c.)

[@applegeek2597]

The first gem she selected and placed in her cart was an emerald, as evidenced by the fact it was green and that she said it would work perfectly for an emerald-encrusted romper she had been working on. Emeralds have a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, and are not easily broken, or even easily scratched, yet seemingly every single gem in Rarity's cart shattered into little pieces upon impact, including that green one. Any way you twist it, that just seemed highly implausible to me.

[@takugenji490]

Rainbow has crashed into things going much faster than that and was fine. Rarity knew that. Defending Rainbow Dash isn't wrong, but you ignored literally what Rainbow did to Rarity. Rarity did decide to play buck ball but an artist has to take inspiration anytime it comes. Rainbow Dash wasn't blameless here. You have this tendency to blame Rarity a lot of time when she does stuff.

[@applegeek2597]

Sure, Dash has endured worse, but in the brief seconds following the crash, which is hardly enough time to assess the severity of the crash, Rarity's immediate reaction was the condition of her gems, not her friend. That says a lot to me about what Rarity's priorities were like at that exact moment. What exactly did I ignore about what Rainbow Dash did to Rarity? I saw Dash actively trying to share her interests with Rarity, taking special effort to spend time with a friend she had very little in common with. On the other side, I saw Rarity not being her usual generous self and instead just becoming completely self-absorbed in her clothing designs. She was pretty much just doing what she wanted to do herself, despite the fact that Dash was even present. And no, of course Dash wasn't blameless here. I did mention that Dash shouldn't be so quick to judge Rarity's fashions, and that she was wrong for not fully reading Rarity's book. I'm curious what other faults you think I'm missing. The only thing I feel I failed to specifically point out was that Dash was very impatient at times. Your statement that I tend to blame Rarity a lot implies that you think I unfairly criticize her out of personal bias. That is an unfair assessment of my criticisms. I have defended Rarity on numerous occasions. Just look at episodes like Honest Apple and Spice Up Your Life for some examples of this. I also greatly praised Rarity in The Gift of the Maud Pie. Others might find every opportunity they can to hate on Rarity because they dislike her. I have not hidden the fact that I have liked Rarity less than others, but I don't criticize without trying to fairly assess the moral implications of her behavior. I gave very specific reasons for why I found fault with her, and none of it had anything to do with me liking her less than the others. If you honestly think I let my bias affect my analysis that much, go watch Honest Apple again, where I found very little fault with Rarity and a lot of fault with my personal favorite, Applejack. Oh, and I STRONGLY disagree with the statement of "an artist has to take inspiration any time it comes". I'm not at all saying that an artist's inspiration isn't very important, but it's not necessarily THE most important thing, especially when you've supposedly committed to spending time with your friends. It's no different than a workaholic putting more importance on work over family time. Rarity had agreed to spend time with Dash. Her time with Dash should have been the most important thing that day. Without common interests, Rarity and Rainbow Dash's friendship is based on the mutual respect and admiration for one another, and in this case, Rarity was showing great disrespect to Dash by ignoring her and just working on her own clothes the whole day. Besides, Rarity gets inspiration from practically everything, and is an extremely successful business pony. I think she can afford to skip a design idea or two.

[@takugenji490]

When did dash even care about anything when it came to the store? Rarity asked her questions trying to include her just as much but instead Rainbow dash is extremely standoffish and rude. Rarity just wasn't really participating in Rainbows thing she wasn't trying to be rude. Plus do you really expect her to try and catch the rainboom ball? That was dangerous of Rainbow but it wasn't out of character for her. She wanted to show off because she had others watching her. Rarity did the same thing with the books, she read enough to know she didn't like it and she named multiple things she didn't like. I feel the giant hat thing was over emphasized like the hat wasn't that big and Rainbow was just attacking because she does have a tendency to do that if she is angry. I think you over analyze and that is maybe why I have a little problem with this. You've defended Rarity at point yes, I'm not saying that you haven't. All I was saying is that you have a tendency to be more critical of Rarity. The others can do things that should maybe be brought up and you missed it a few times. It is a little bit of why I stopped kinda watching the ending of your reactions, (I stopped at around 36:10 so I didn't exactly hear the rest of it. I've already heard almost everyone talking about the shoes and I wish they would just shut up about it! Unfortunately you started praising Rarity really after that. my bad.) . Honestly I don't mean any disrespect, and i'm sorry if it came off that way. I just feel that almost everyone nitpicks Rarity more than the other ponies and it does bother me a bit. However we are going to have to agree to disagree with the last point. I presume that you might not be an artist(I'm sorry if I am wrong in assuming in this). Writing down your ideas is the only real way to remember them. Anyway I'm not going to argue that last point because we will be here too long. Also I agree with the Rarity backstory, Her parents are the only ones who haven't really had an episode.

[@applegeek2597]

Over-analyze? Me?! NEVER! Just kidding. Yes, it's entirely possible that in my attempt to be thorough I do over-think some things. And yes, Dash did have a problem in the store. She was rude and impatient, no question about that, and I apologize if I didn't highlight that strongly enough. But compared to the game, where Rainbow Dash was trying to be inclusive of Rarity in the game, Rarity didn't seem to do anything in the store to try to get Dash interested in fashion, and was just shopping for shoes for herself, which left me feeling like Rarity was more self-absorbed than Dash was. It's possible I read too much into that and misjudged the situation. I'm just saying that that's what my reasoning was. And to be honest, I hadn't even thought about the danger of trying to catch the rainboom ball, so yeah, you're absolutely right that Rainbow Dash was wrong to be so reckless, but that's still no excuse for Rarity completely ignoring the game to work on a design sketch. Just to go back to that point a bit, I realize I probably won't change your mind on this, but I would like to make it clear that an artist's inspiration does not absolve them of responsibilities. To be fair, EVERYONE has inspiration at some point or another about how to create something, or fix something, or whatever. I get bursts of inspiration when writing computer code, as that is my art form. I fully understand that sometimes inspiration just happens, and that yes, you often need to write things down to remember them, but I still disagree that that always takes top priority over absolutely everything else. Maybe Rarity would've forgotten about that design if she hadn't sketched it out right then, maybe not, but that's beside the point, because she didn't NEED to have that design. If Rarity had promised to spend the day doing things together with Dash, it was rude and selfish of her to ignore Dash and focus on her own projects, both in the game and in the cave. And actually, Rarity randomly drawing up sketches of things like that wouldn't even have really bothered me if it was a more casual hangout or something, but it was stated at the beginning that the two had gone out of their way to fit time into their busy schedules to share a day of fun together, so Rarity should have known better. And of course, so should Dash, as she should have known what she was signing up for when spending time together with Rarity, and been more willing to try to understand fashion a bit more. Frankly, I couldn't help but get the impression that Rarity was acting like a workaholic parent who has grown weary of her child's antics, and Dash was like the child who is easily bored and needs to be constantly entertained or showing off in some way. I actually meant to mention some of these things in my commentary, but I cut some things because I didn't want to be talking for an entire hour. XD And just to address your comment about me being overall more critical of Rarity than the other characters, I don't personally feel like I've spent a significantly larger amount of time criticizing her than others, but I can't also definitively say that I haven't. Again, I never claimed to be without bias, despite my best efforts to remain objective and consider all sides of a conflict. It's possible my bias is seeping through more than I realize. Rarity has pretty much always been my least favorite of the Mane 6, for various reasons. Some of those reasons have evaporated as she's grown, and right now, I more or less feel like she and Dash are tied for last place out of that group, but if I felt like Rarity overall had more things to improve on than the others, then it's entirely possible I've spent more time talking about that. Even if that's the case, I feel I've worked very hard to be more understanding and appreciative of Rarity, despite having very little in common with her, so it's a bit discouraging to still hear people say that I'm constantly being overly critical of her, especially without offering any real proof of that. I think there's another angle to consider as well though. For every fault of Rarity's in this episode, I've seen her act much better at other times. She's normally quite generous and giving of her time, and she failed on that here. I would never have thought she would criticize Dash's book the way she did, which she seemed to be doing out of pure spite at that point, and she's not normally one to act like that. She's also grown to be very practical in how she dresses for wilderness adventures, and she strangely failed on that front too this time. I guess you could say I was a bit frustrated with her because I KNOW she can behave much better than the way she did in this episode. She allowed some of her old, bad habits to resurface here, which admittedly can happen to the best of us, but it's still frustrating to see, so maybe I was subconsciously being harder on her in this case just because I know she's really better than that. In any case, while we may have to still agree to disagree on some of these points, I appreciate your more detailed feedback, as that lets me know better how to address your complaints. You have also provided more insight and given me some things to think about, which is valuable. This right here is one of the big reasons why I started doing these reviews, namely to encourage meaningful discussion about the lessons so that we can all get more out of them. :D

[@takugenji490]

Glad that this didn't end in some argument, I've heard enough of those walking around forums. Just walking into the forum saying "Hey guys whats up-" and there is a five page argument about why one side is wrong. Anyway I still feel like the blame should be split fifty/fifty on this. I did get some other ideas though of things in the episode. Like how Rainbow Dash couldn't have finished without Rarity but neither could Rarity. Rarity knew about the toothpaste but didn't have a way to make a cloud. She also couldn't fly up the cliff, just to open the door. They both had the same amount of things they did. I notice you sometimes get surprised about things that Rarity does that the others would maybe do as well but you wouldn't batt an eye at. Last episode you sort of judged Rarity about buying those machines before learning that she bought them herself. If Applejack bought something, I feel you wouldn't have brought any attention to it. Things like that is what I kind of mean about nit picking. The softer moments are what I just said about the purchase and the worst I think is possible this one, which I feel is meant to be 50/50 as the writers seemed to want to. But anyway, don't really recall any more moments about Rarity because I haven't watched any of the episodes Rarity was in recently that you reacted to. Anyway what i'm saying is most of the time, you just brush it off or try to joke about it. Didn't you react to Rarity Investigates? I can't really remember if you did or not. But enough of me dragging on here. I do think the second to last paragraph of yours is correct and you were a little hard on her BECAUSE you realize she has gotten better. But still, I've seen a lot of people fall back on old bad habits so I don't particularly really hold it against people too much because I would have become very bitter if I did, and I'm not some tea. Anyway it does explain why you hold that feeling a bit more. I just feel that Rainbow did kinda the same thing as Rarity. However I still have to think of what would have happened if Rarity did start playing the game after the first miss... That ball sailed right over her... I'm not sure if a bucket would stop that super sonic ball, (just add some golden hair and maybe give it an emerald or two). At the least I think she would end up being sent to the hospital.

[@applegeek2597]

Okay, now I have to put my foot down here and push back on some of the new things you just said, because you're now letting your own bias cloud your judgment, and you're making unfounded accusations against me. You claim I made a judgment about Rarity buying the sewing machines. I did absolutely no such thing. The honest truth is that the very first time I watched this, I didn't even really have time to think about where the money for the machines came from before Rarity said she bought them herself. For all I knew, the purchase had already been approved in the school's budget. The note questioning what kind of budget the school has came after the fact, and it's a valid question, especially since we have no idea how the construction or operation of the school is funded, and because the subject was broached in this same episode when it was revealed that Flim and Flam weren't even charging tuition. Then when Rarity revealed that she bought them herself, I applauded her generosity. I didn't think she was taking advantage of the school funds, rather I was pleased that she paid with her own money when there may not have been any obligation for her to do so. This is one of those times where I actually complimented Rarity, and now you're trying to twist that around to say I judged her unfairly? Also, your claim that I would have responded differently had Applejack been the one with a large purchase is completely baseless. Even if I was actually sitting there silently criticizing the large purchase, I would have been equally critical, regardless of who did it. Your "feeling" that I would have reacted differently is not proof of anything. Also, you're implying that my bias towards Applejack means I easily give her passes on things, yet I have been plenty critical of Applejack many times. Just look back at Honest Apple, where I found very little fault with Rarity, and plenty of fault with Applejack. For the record, that's also one of the episodes that came to mind when I said that I know Rarity can behave much better than she did in this one. Applejack is my favorite simply because she's the most relatable to me, not because I think she's the most awesome, perfect, can-do-no-wrong character in the show. And actually, if you want to talk about fairness, at least Rarity gets plenty of screen time. I'm 18 episodes into this season, and there's only been a single episode with a strong focus on Applejack, namely Non-Compete Clause, in which I had to criticize her greatly over her selfish stubbornness, and the fact that she didn't really learn anything, and endangered the students' lives. How do you think I feel when I rarely get a chance to actually talk much about my favorite character, and then have to criticize her because she screwed up big time? She also, in my opinion, got cheated out of an appearance in Friendship University, because it involved Flim and Flam, and a lesson involving honesty, yet she was nowhere to be found. On the other hand, Rarity has had a meaningful presence in at least four episodes thus far this season, namely Fake It Till You Make it, Molt Down, Friendship University, and The End in Friend. Ever stop to think that maybe it seems like I criticize Rarity more than Applejack simply because I don't actually even get to talk about Applejack nearly as often? I have made it quite clear that I do my best to remain as objective as possible despite my own self-advertised biases, yet it feels like you're still essentially accusing me of being the kind of person who does nothing but praise their favorite character and beat on their least favorite, which is just flat-out untrue. If you can't accept my criticisms of your favorite character, then you certainly don't have to listen to what I have to say, but I will not sit here and apologize for anything in the face of vague, unsubstantiated claims of unfair bias, nor will I just tell you what you want to hear to make you happy. I'm entitled to my opinion of the characters just as much as you are, and I will not be bullied into compliance with your view points. If you think Rarity deserves a better defense, you are more than welcome to make your own review videos to plead your case. As for this discussion, it seems both our minds are made up, so I'm done with it, and I will not be replying further.

They sound like an old married couple Raritydash must have had a field day with this episode.

[@fusionomni305]

Twilight really needs to add security to the school. Anyone can waltz right in and take the artifacts she's holding on to, and she has students to protect. Anywyas, I really like the message of this episode. I don't know where the misconception that you have to have a lot in common to be friends came from. The more alike two people are, the less new things they have to offer one another. It's not about how similar you are, but how your differences compliment each other.

[@fanofthematrix7939]

I just thought of something: In there friendship group they have a opposite type: Rarity-Applejack Rainbow Dash-Twilight Pinkie Pie-Fluttershy

28:30 If you want to know why the gem break like glass, ask Maud or just a low quality gem.

[@applegeek2597]

I'm aware there are varying qualities and hardnesses of gem stones. However, the first gem she selected and placed in her cart was an emerald, as evidenced by the fact it was green and that she said it would work perfectly for an emerald-encrusted romper she had been working on. Emeralds have a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, and are not easily broken, or even easily scratched, yet seemingly every single gem in Rarity's cart shattered into little pieces upon impact, including that green one. Any way you twist it, that just seemed highly implausible to me.

Hey Applegeek, in the gem cave scene 7:28 to 7:30 the reason why Rainbow Dash pronouncing “Lever” as “Lee-ver” because her voice actress Ashleigh Ball is Canadian. Canadians pronounced words differently compared to Americans. I thought you knew.

[@georgeharvey4226]

I'm sorry these highlights are later than normal. I've been trying to find time to do them and things kept popping up - I need at least a few hours to write down everything. Anyway, in this episode, we see two of the Mane 7 (who rarely interact as a duo) go through some difficult times. Enjoy: 0:43-0:50 Hi Plaini- I mean, Rarity. Nice outfit. Applegeek agrees. Also, I did think I'd seen her wearing it somewhere before. 0:45 Hi Starlight talking to some students. Is she giving them counselling? 0:53-1:03 Tell me about it. 0:58-1:06 Rarity is happy to be used as an "example" for the students. 0:59-1:01 Starlight's face. 1:06-1:11 Rarity and Rainbow Dash are surprised they've both been selected as "examples". As is Applegeek. 1:07 I've said it before, but I'll say it again: that pony with the bow is my favourite. I wish she had a speaking role. Also, Hi Gallus. 1:08 Applegeek's face. 1:11-1:16 Applegeek is confused. 1:16-1:26 Twilight explains. 1:24-1:26 Applegeek thinks what she said was sweet. 1:25-1:39 I'm glad they're acknowledging the work they have outside the school as well. 1:45 I agree. 1:55-2:14 Silver Stream asks a question. And so it begins. 1:57-2:08 I didn't catch any of that either. I had to listen back a couple of times. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 2:15-2:32 Gallus asks a good question. What do Rarity and Rainbow Dash have in common? Also, Applegeek's reaction. 2:32-2:39 Well, we have. There just haven't been very many of them. 2:32-2:50 I think you're right, Applegeek. Not many others do come to mind, do they? 2:50 By the way, has anybody else noticed that Cadence, Shining Armour and Flurry Heart are in the new intro, but none of them have appeared this season yet? 3:01-3:10 Yona says it for me. 3:11-3:20 Well of course not "always". They weren't born together XD 3:11-3:46 Rainbow Dash and Rarity realise they don't have a lot in common. 3:16-3:22 Applegeek is worried by the title. Also, that's somewhat debatable - remember the flashback in Celestial Advice? 3:20-3:26 This is a very good point; are Dash and Rarity just friends because they're friends with the other Mane 7? Also, I agree Applegeek. 3:27-3:48 Callbacks to Sonic Rainboom and Rarity Investigates. Also, I don't think it is Applegeek. 3:34-3:41 Rarity's face. 3:47-3:58 Starlight makes a good point. 3:58-4:13 It was going so well until she mentioned "seeing them in action" - it gives Twilight a crazy idea. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 4:08-4:15 You said it for me, Applegeek. 4:18 Hi Braeburn. Haven't seen you in a while. 4:21-4:24 Yep. Also, I said it first Applegeek. 4:22-4:40 Rarity is too distracted by her fashion designing to focus on the match she's in. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 4:40-5:03 Rainbow Dash tries something "new and super intense." Rarity is still distracted. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 5:03-5:16 I feel the same way as Rainbow Dash and Applegeek. 5:21-5:28 Twilight's face. Also, Dash didn't get to enjoy her activity Twilight. So it's not really fair. 5:29 I'll just say this now: the sound effects department must've been working overtime on this episode. Rarity wears those boots for the rest of the story and they constantly make sparkle noises. 5:32 I do like that neckerchief, though. 5:34-5:37 BOOP, indeed. Also, you're seriously asking her Rarity? 5:34-5:48 Rarity logic makes no sense. Rainbow Dash agrees. 5:46-5:48 Rainbow's face. 5:50-6:00 Again, you're seriously asking her? She isn't G3 Dash. Also, Applegeek's reaction to high-heels for ponies. 6:00-6:02 How do any high-heels work? Also, you totally missed Rarity making a horse there. 6:02-6:10 Rarity lists all the situations high-heels are useful for. Most of them involve tea. 6:09-6:13 I totally missed that "royal-tea" pun there. Glad you pointed it out to me. 6:09-6:15 Rainbow Dash "eww"s at getting glitter on her hooves. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 6:14 Rarity rolls her eyes. 6:15-6:23 Rainbow Dash is bored by shopping. Much like any of us guys would be. 6:17-6:23 I said it first, Applegeek. 6:23-6:34 Twilight is finding every just way to excuse this, isn't she? 6:36-8:02 Rarity and Rainbow Dash explore the gem cave together - though it's for completely different reasons. Also, Rarity must have several mining helmets - her last one had a blue ribbon. 6:49-6:52 Get used to them. Like I said, she wears them for the rest of the episode. 7:05-7:09 You want to find a treasure chamber, Dash? You're literally in a treasure chamber! Although it does admittedly have some secrets - like Maud's home. 7:15 Hollow granite? Shouldn't you take a closer look? Maud says "hollow granite is highly unusual." 7:16 I think you're right, Applegeek. 7:17-7:10 Good thing she wore a helmet. 7:27-7:41 That lever looks pretty natural to me, Dash. 7:41-7:49 Rainbow Dash accidentally breaks Rarity's gems. Although Applegeek makes a good point; real gems wouldn't smash so easily. Is there a conspiracy going on here? 7:52 I thought that boot was on backwards, but it's actually how Rarity is gesturing with her hoof. 8:04-8:15 Rarity and Rainbow Dash are setting a bad example for the students. 8:15-8:28 Twilight is desperate for the students not to get the wrong idea. 8:19-8:21 Because Dash would never admit to embracing her feminine side. Even if it's only occasionally. 8:28-8:56 Rarity and Dash don't want to be friends anymore. Maybe they never were friends. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 8:56-9:41 Rarity and Dash go through guidance counselling with Starlight. Yep, her duties extend to the teachers now too. Also, yes, they are sitting in on her at the exact same time. 8:56-9:17 Rainbow Dash and Rarity have had disagreements about selling dresses to pegasi. 9:18-9:32 Rarity claims Dash never noticed the gorgeous hat she wore to a Winderbolts' show. Dash claims it was impossible to ignore. 9:23 The way Rarity delivered that line XD 9:32 Growling. 9:32-9:36 It must have been a huge hat. 9:33-9:43 Starlight explodes. Also, Applegeek's reaction. 9:46-9:55 Not literally, Dash. Although it would be entertaining to see her wearing them. 9:54 Hey look, kites! 10:01-10:04 Dash tries to leave first, but Rarity stops her with her magic. (Continued in my other comment.)

[@ZOLIENZEV]

Rainbow Dash fans get so worked up over Rarity doing the smallest flaw while RD has done the exact same thing if not worse. That’s how I’ve seen it.

[@Gokuvstheworld]

A lot of times the characters you like the most tend to be the ones you can personally relate to the most (unless it's something about yourself that you don't like), so that makes sense Rainbow Dash fans would feel that way lol Some Rarity fans are doing the opposite though with Rarity, and are trying to put less blame on her than she should get, like trying to say Rarity didn't do anything wrong when she kept drawing pictures when she was supposed to been paying attention when they were playing Buckball

[@applegeek2597]

I think I've gotten more backlash on my analysis of Rainbow Dash and Rarity in episodes focusing on them much more so than any other characters. Fans of both are quite passionate, and it's difficult to offer objective criticism of either without being accused of joining the alleged masses of Rarity-haters and/or Dash-haters. I haven't tried to hide my bias, but I've also tried to do my best to put my bias aside for my analysis. I don't claim to be perfect in this effort, but I've offered both criticism and defense to both characters on various occasions.

[@Gokuvstheworld]

Well, it kinda was. If it was just a matter of a stolen artifact, one that had no alleged properties that could threaten the safety of Equestria, I think they would've told Twilight to find somebody else to go look for it. They needed some shock factor to snap them out of their argument. That's just my opinion though, and unless this artifact is referenced again later on, I guess we'll never know. XD

With 8 seasons of content, it's really hard to remember every single one at the drop of a hat, especially when I'm trying to concentrate on a new story. ;)

[@titanhades4331]

The gem thing. Maybe it's a compromise. Considering they seem to be as common as water and not rare like they are in the real world, the exchange is that they are more breakable.

[@applegeek2597]

Maybe, but I'm pretty sure Maud has mentioned the Mohs scale at one point or another. The first gem Rarity selected and placed in her cart was an emerald, as evidenced by the fact it was green and that she said it would work perfectly for an emerald-encrusted romper she had been working on. Emeralds have a hardness of 7.5-8 on the Mohs scale, and are not easily broken, or even easily scratched, yet seemingly every single gem in Rarity's cart shattered into little pieces upon impact, including that green one. Any way you twist it, that just seemed highly implausible to me. I get that it was a convenient plot device, and it's admittedly a nitpick.

Why do people not know that minerals and gems can be broken quite easily. You aren't even the first one to say that. There are plenty of minerals that shatter just like glass.

I've already had too many conversations with other people about the gems so i'm not really wanting to enter another one. But to consider that a gem is an emerald literally because it is green is kinda assuming. Not all emeralds are green just as not are green gemstones are emeralds. Plus this isn't the human world. They have gems that we don't have. They have the fire ruby which is only made by dragons apparently.

So much for Rarity having a keen eye for details. 20:41 now, I would question what reason they'd have for a secret tunnel in the school, BUT after seeing the trailer shown at Bronycon, I think I've a good idea.

You're going to love episode twenty.

[@williamharmon4039]

Actually, many gemstones would be quite fragile. Hardness is a resistance to having the surface damaged and scratched, but resistance to being outright broken or shattered falls under toughness instead. Even Diamond, one of the hardest substances known to man, is actually quite brittle due to its crystalline structure and can be shattered easily with an average hammer. They are hard, but not especially tough. Glass is harder than a pillow, but the pillow isn't the one that would be smashed by a heavy impact. Perhaps those gems Rarity had were some of the less durable ones and needed to be handled with care.

Hey applegeek! I’m a big fan of your reaction videos, and I was wondering if you were going to do a reaction video for “rollercoaster of friendship”??

[@michellesteptoe8814]

Hi Applegeek, great reaction as always. I just got an interesting thought. What if Rarity is Shadow Spade in a Darring Do type of way, or a least use to be? The main clues in the books are fashion related according to this so it would make sense why she has such a passion for it, not to mention her creativity in the 'Mcguiver' aspect. "You don't know everything about me!" That would be quite the secret.

[@applegeek2597]

That's an interesting theory, but highly doubtful. It's pretty clear that Rarity just doesn't have that kind of time. Also, even though she's emulated Shadow Spade, she's fallen a bit short in some cases. XD I have, however, started to wonder if Shadow Spade is a real pony, just like Daring Do is.

[@yt4ever651]

Applegeek If you pause at 11:47, the pony on the cover that I believe is Shadow Spade, looks awfully similar to Rarity, especially her mane style. If she wasn't so hidden in that detector outfit, we might have seen more details that might've been similar to Rarity's aspects.

THe Aftifacts are not even locked up considering how power full they are Maybe Chrysalis will steal them?

[@titanhades4331]

Half of them are not even really a threat. Based on what we heard about the Yak helmet and the Griffin crown, those two are not any threat.

[@Schornforce]

Maybe there's magic placed on them when they aren't used in spellvenger hunts or plots to get ponies to cooperate. I dunno if they'd be too powerful, but they are important and should probably be treated gingerly.

Only the amulet is really powerful

[@Schornforce]

Well, the shell summons dragons and we don't know if the amulet really has power or if that was made up to get Rarity and RD to work together due to urgency.
