In Sunburst's defense, I can say from experience that socially awkward introverts (esp. the obsessive variety) can be _very_ thick when it comes to "reading the room". If they're aware of this fact, they often try to over-analyze others' moods/reactions to compensate, leading to intense social anxiety a la Fluttershy. If they _aren't_ aware of how bad they are at reading people... then you get Sunburst. Even if they _do_ realize something is off, if the other person reassures them (even if halfheartedly), they'll likely take it at face value and think nothing is wrong.

I REGET NOTHING The entire story follows sunburst as he travels around Equestria making new friends, but thanks to being socially awkward, and as silver put it a 'harem protagonist' to dense to tell that they are flirting with him, leading to letters he can tell have a hidden meaning but can't figure out what it is plus lewd pictures in the letters aswell leading to sunburst believing that flank pictures are a type of greetings in mail.

This is one of my favorite Starlight and Sunburst episodes, i especially love the part where Starlight casts a spell to make her and Sunburst foals again, they just looked adorable.

[@MachRacer4]

I say Starlight used more of a “highly advanced” illusion spell that, simply put, acts like a genjutsu in the Naruto franchise that creates an illusion so powerful that it feels like it’s real.

[@tristanmilner9511]

Exactly. Too many think Starlight can manipulate time when it was the scroll that did all the work.

[@jlan7844]

​@@hannahrosewalz9386 Nope, Starswirl made the spell because it was the same one Twilight used to tried to go back in time to warn herself not to worry. Starlight just stripped off the limiters that restricted how far back you could go with it.

[@travissmith2848]

Would you buy a limited de-aging spell combined with an environmental illusion spell?

[@allenholloway5109]

@@jlan7844 Starlight did more than that. One of the main reasons I have a problem with it (still liked the episode) was that it is a *fundamentally* different kind of time travel. Starswirl's spell brought you back a very short amount of time, and more importantly, as Twilight discovered, it only creates self-fulfilling loops. It CANNOT make branch universes. I'm just fine with branch-style time travel stories, but MLP already had established time travel lore. And I know Starswirl helped create the Tree, but even he had no idea about the Map. So why did she need to use the Map (which, btw, seemed to be the only thing holding the timelines together still). Time travel is a tricky business at the best of times. I think they backed themselves into a corner with "It's About Time" and just decided to handwave an explanation that vaguely made sense.

[@Kartoffelkamm]

@@allenholloway5109 I think it makes perfect sense, once you realize what Starlight's special talent is: Destiny. Basically, there are three very powerful unicorns we've seen so far: Twilight, Sunset and Starlight. I'm including Sunset here because, well, when she put on the Element of Magic in the first EQG movie, it responded to her. I think her special talent is something like Conversion, most likely from light to dark (and vice versa). This would explain why the crown reacted the way it did: It was turned into a force of darkness by Sunset's innate magic. I think the Tree of Harmony had some influence in those three being born. According to my theory, it made Sunset so she converts any threats towards Equestria into allies, but she turned evil. It then made Starlight to change the destinies of those that would threaten Equestria, but she turned evil. Then, the tree made Twilight and gave her a stronger connection to itself, basically serving as a mini-version of itself, in the hopes that she learns the importance of friendship and teaches the previous two attempts, aka Sunset and Starlight, thus bringing them back on their intended track. Starlight can change ponies' destinies, most notably in the form of their cutie marks, seemingly without problem. Combined with a time travel spell, and a map that is connected to a tree that is the manifestation of the very essence of Equestria, it would make less sense if Starlight couldn't go to any point in Equestria's history and change how things play out. Though, to be fair, she "just" went back about a decade or so, and the tree had been around for over a millennium, so maybe she can't go back to before the tree in its current form existed. The tree, as a manifestation of the magic of friendship, has been shown to grow and develop, so it'd make sense that it could influence how things happen in Equestria. It's a demigod-like entity that can craft ponies to play certain roles in order to keep itself alive.

If you're not familiar, Kanji's crush on Naoto is an entire plot point because Naoto dresses like a guy so he spends a lot of the game questioning his sexuality over her. My point being: if you see chemistry unmistakably between two characters, good luck trying to explain that to someone that doesn't see it.

It is canon (within the Firebrand/SilverQuill/DoctorWolf shared subgroup of "The Rift" ), that both Silver Quill & Aeon of Dreams are actually "Cosmic Monstrosities": Silver is more leaning on the "demon soul reincarnated as a mortal" (that just happens to be a hippogriff with pidgeon ancestors); nicknamed the "Anti-Celestia". Aeon is an actual "Eldritch Horror" that just _chooses_ to mantain a form "your eyes can understand". Silver ocasionally uses his "demon alternate form" for comedy porpouses, while Aeon always _implies_ about it (as actually showing his "true self" would made somepony permanently mad) whenever he is "getting serious" [the equivalent of Hannibal Lecter sharpening a knife]. A skyscraper_sized, casual pony_eating lady dragon is Silver Quill´s girlfriend. She got confused about their relationship once, after she found him temporary transformed into an earth pony version of himself ("Cluttersteps"); implying that he usually does _unspeakable things_ alongside her as part of their "dates" [that would get awckward if he did not managed to fix his situation].

[@tsulee7876]

Personally, I think the crystal effect the citizens of the Crystal Empire have is a result of being near the crystal heart for so long. An alternative answer is that their bodies have adapted to living in symbiosis with it since it protects them with a barrier, and the crystal ponies provide energy for the crystal with their joy and vitality. (At least I think that's what happens, it's been a while since I've seen the premiere where the crystal empire first debuted.) By that logic, if they go a far enough distance away from the empire or the heart then they lose the effect. The main six, Shining Armor, and Cadence were probably exceptions to this effect because they were in that huge recharge blast at the end of the premiere when the crystal heart restarted. Now that I think about it, if you take any context out of that last sentence it kinda sounds like the main six and the new royals performed magical, open-heart surgery on a crystal rock golem.

[@sykeassai]

In the Crystal empire intro episode, when the mane 6 leave the empire, they lose their glow. I admit I'm now struggling to remember if we've seen Crystal ponies outside of the Crystal Empire. I mean in terms of the crystal look. If we did, then we can assume those ponies have been affected by the heart for so long, that the effect retains outside the barrier for at least an extended time. Otherwise, the 4 ponies we know who have spent significant time there are Sunburst, Cadence, Shining Armor, and Flurry Heart. All of which have not picked up this trait, implying that the glow is partly related to the crystaling itself, and partly related to extended exposure over a much longer time period. If we havn't seen the glow outside, then either those ponies have not moved or that it does end with the barrior.

[@shadow_shine3578]

This episode would have been so much better if the issue was that Starlight was feeling inadequate compared to the new friends Sunburst was making, because all she had to connect with him was their childhood board game.

Then after he tells her how lonely he was before, she realizes how much she has helped him, even if unintentionally and indirectly, and that’s enough to make her feel better, knowing that she still had an important role to play in his life.

A thing of particular note is that Azula was already slipping after Mai and Ty Lee betrayed her, as can be seen in the very next episode when she tracks down Team Avatar on her own. But in the finale, she is left behind when her father crowns himself emperor of the world. She is given the old title of Fire Lord, but it's clear that this isn't the kind of reward she's used to getting from her father who has always favored her. Without saying a word, she realizes that even her own father doesn't fully trust her. And in her scizophrenic state, she's struggling to accept that her own mother didn't actually hate her or fear her even if she thought she did.

There is nothing better than to see my top two favorite reviewers review an episode together. Their personalities bounce off of each other perfectly and it never fails to make me laugh.

Don't worry; I DID remember.

[@8nicopink868]

Awesome, insightful, and funny review as always! Your dynamic together is just perfect! The parts about love language interested me enough to take the love language test. Like Silver Quill, my love language is Acts of Service. Taking the time to do something for me without expecting much in return really shows me that someone cares about me. I also side more with the notion 'Actions speak louder than words'.

I think it might be a blessing that Silver Quill and Fire Brand don't collab often... I don't think my stomach could handle it. I always laugh way too much! Thanks for putting a spin on an episode I wasn't all that invested in. I thoroughly enjoyed it in this feature comedy.

[@randomdragon8245]

When Silver said “It just works” that’s the point I would’ve hit him with a bat too. Too bad you didn’t make a reference to Todd and the Sweet Little Lies.

[@moonsongkitty]

I think what I mostly loved about this video, was your discussion about love language. I actually didn't know that was a thing and I really enjoyed learning more about it afterwards and I find it really fascinating. It made me wonder what my love language was, but I honestly don't know exactly yet what it is, and I came to the conclusion that I don't think everyone has just one love language. Anyway, thank you for teaching me about this. ^^

[@TheFloraBonBon]

I guess crystalized ponies would be a bit difficult to animate at times. But I do agree with silver, I mistakenly thought they were normal ponies instead of being from the crystal kingdom. If you don't study their shines in their eyes, it can be difficult to tell which is which.

[@Aussieroth7]

Well... This made me see Uncommon Bond in a new light. Cheers guys! BUT FIRST!!! 16:09 ... Yeah, I'm sorry I have to but I'm just that passionate. The fans perhaps did have that 10%... Max (Though can you blame them for fighting back, even some getting vicious? They were often heavily insulted and slandered so very regularly for trying to explain what they wanted to see.) Kathleen Kennedy is 50%, Rian Johnson 20%, JJ Abrams would be 10% and Disney... Would be the last 10% I guess. However, own your 10% as you said. Anyway, back to the ponies! Love language... How is it that MLP:FiM is able to show the young crowd such complex things in a simple way? I love this show. Though I also would have liked Sunburst to apologize too, not gonna lie. Also again: 22:20-GLORIOUS!!!

They really missed the perfect opportunity to have Sunburst be voiced by Kirby Morrow being they already have Kelly Sheridan so why not go the extra mile.

Wait, I just thought of something while rewatching old videos: Wasn't Ink Rose technically the first one shot out of a party howitzer, by Silver Quill, during the Hearts and Hooves Day review on the Joshscorcher channel, when Firebrand was trying to get back to his couch from Voice of Reason's Channel?
