Pinkie Pie's Therapy Visit - A Moment With DRWolf

[@cannedcream]

That was actually a REALLY good Pinkie voice.

[@raindozer249]

I agree

[@CrownePrince]

If you're watching this video, there is no cutie mark because animating those particularly detailed little drawings in this style takes a long time.

[@NelsonDemifur]

Considering how much pinkie moves in general plus how much here, no cutie mark doesn't bother me

[@TheMAM]

You bucked it up, man! You bucked it up! >:( Haha, in all seriousness, the animation is done very well. Always a pleasure seeing your unique, cute style.

[@unconqueredsun6903]

I noticed that... but then didn't care as the rest of the animation was spot on with the dialogue. :)

[@KnightKiller1000]

i noticed you little intuendo joke ;; that was the last like i let crowne prince draw anything book

[@AvantiHalfhorse]

If there is one fan character who needs to become cannon in MLP:FIM, it's Dr Wolf.

[@thegoatcarnival]

1:10 DEAR GOD PINKIE DON'T YOU UNDERSTAND?! YOU'VE KILLED HIM! Oh, wait, NVM XD

[@vaelararagi496]

Actually, I can sympathize with Pinkie. I act the same way as her, trying to make people smile, and laugh, but sometimes I just get annoying to them. So this kinda helped me out as well.

[@lightning-bliss]

What a lovely fun, sweet tearful episode yes all that in one! Great voice acting and animation by Missbunni and Crowne! Awesome message by you too Doc! I admit, when I first spoke with you and especially at NN con, being shy as I am at first, and meeting you for the first time. With the way you spoke I interpert it as 'shyness' and depending on the first impression for me tends to dictate how I'll will first react to that person I meet. So what I thought was 'shyness' made me feel 'awkward and shy' as well but thats just how I viewed it. That's what I love about Pinkie though, she just be who she is no matter if its a new pony or not, she's happy to meet new ponies and interact with them how she is. I wish I were more confident like she is. I'm constantly worried about how I show myself to others and often ask myself "am I being too over the top?" or "I apologize for my language" etc al the time. I like to make sure I'm not hurting others either. So awesome message. We learn from our mistakes but don't stop trying to be yourself too ^^

[@LizzieBiz]

That was so deep. Really though. You do such a great job of capturing these characters in your writing. :)

[@DRWolf001]

Thank you for contributing your Wonderful voice talents. :)

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

First Carmen -Mary Medley-, then GloryOfTheRainWings, and now missbunniswan! I wonder who will be next to voice one of the mane six?

[@aguywhowatchescartoons368]

Jacob M. Keene I'm still waiting for Discord

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

A guy who watches cartoons I heard finnthepony say in Dr. Wolf's livestream this past Saturday that he would try to do the animations for things that Discord does since he thinks he could do that!

[@aguywhowatchescartoons368]

Jacob M. Keene Sweet!

[@ThePastAnalysis]

This AMWDW was certainly a cut above the rest. Loved the interaction between DrWolf and Pinkie and the end conclusion was nice. Also, Crown Prince's animation is awesome. Nice job to both of you, DrWolf and Crown Prince.

[@DRWolf001]

Glad you enjoyed it Past.

[@supermariof0521]

DRWolf001 This is just something I noticed, but half the time, Pinkie's mouth moves, and other times it doesn't. It doesn't bother me too much, but it's just something I noticed.

[@supermariof0521]

DRWolf001 Though aside from that I really enjoyed this video. Which ponies are left on the agenda?

[@cherielangland6202]

​@DRWolf001 are you a cat

[@MrArchimondde]

I love how when Doc starts to speek he seems to be ascending from being just a normal everyday person and starts preaching like a freakin' prophet. Everything he says is spot on and very true. From his words you really can learn how to be a better human being. Also. Great job Missbunniswan with the voice acting, DRWolf with the writing, and Crowne Prince with the animation. I really see little room for improvement.

[@DRWolf001]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@negative_mario5790]

kinda like a real therapist XD

[@sockeye1011]

The voice actor for this was perfect.

[@RedCordPlayer]

Nice ending. This was exciting to see and actually feels it would make for a great segment if the mane six discussed their flaws in the shows. I think these videos might actually inspire the show staff to one day make an episode centering around ones inner thoughts.

[@MinersLoveGames]

Pinkie's VA is absolutely spot-on.

[@OhPonyBoy]

9:20 I love the animation of Pinkie =3

[@narnia4232]

5:35 I actually cried there a little. That was seriously amazing voice acting!

[@waywardpony]

Very heart-warming. Brought a tear to my eye. Pinkie's very well-written and acted, and the advice is solid. What adds to this and makes it even more special is the Doctor tells her that this may be a problem she never gets over, but just by being herself she's doing a lot of good and is liable to continue to do a lot of good, and that alone can trump any shortcomings. I've a similar problem and it's taken me over twenty years to get where I am in terms of being able to read others emotions, and even now I sometimes am afraid that I can be annoying or obnoxious. Anxiety meds seem to blur the line even more, though I care less, so my observation is I'm being more annoying but care less about it. If I were naturally extroverted as Pinkie, as wonderful as a gift as that would be, it could be detrimental because she has a tendency to express her thoughts through actions and words, sometimes exuberantly... which means she doesn't always think things through, though the intention is genuinely good. Wow, just wow...

[@numbuh0004]

Well it's pretty apparent that you can't please everybody with who you are (inside and outside). But it's mighty respectable for people who strive to at least try. It was so awesome to see someone like Pinkie finally have AMWDW.

[@BNuts]

Another excellent Moment, with great voice acting. It's great to see the fandom's talents blossoming like this. I enjoyed Crowne Prince's animation style, and the switch between fluid and static. Pinkie's bouncy way of lying was especially fitting. And there is always a gold nugget in these sessions. I am also one of those who needs the occasional moment alone to recharge when I have been overwhelmed by crowds and social situations. I also believe that, given her Moment with you, Mage would enjoy this depiction of Pinkie.

[@RosieSievers]

Best Mane 6 moment so far, it was great for Pinkie to share her problems of trying to share her empathy with others. Great animation Crowne Prince

I have ADHD , and I am ovely kind that some people take advantage of that . However my main flaw is I allways second guess myself . EVERYTIME , its like its become more then an issue for me . so many things go through my mind like , WHAT IF EVERYPONY SECRETLY THINKS IM ANNOYING AND Doesn't tell me ? WHAT IF , wHAT IF , what if , what IF ?!?! too much what ifs are going thorugh my head right now . I really care about others feelings so much that I some times forget about myself ...

[@abbywolf05gamesmore22]

Yeah, ADHD isn't easy to deal with, people don't seem to understand that though(especially parents if you still live with them). I also have ADHD and always have thoughts like, "what if everyone hates me and just doesn't want to tell me?!?!?" It's horrible that people go through stuff like ADHD, depression, anxiety, etc.

[@movedaccounts4147]

Awww. Poor Pinkie. This is so sad. And I love it! It really adds to her character.

[@simpsonman956]

The writing here is amazing, totally believable and organic. Whoever wrote this bit is a pro :)

[@BiscuitCrewProductions]

There is literally a connection with me and Pinkie in this. I enjoy making people smile, or making them happy. It makes me feel good, as if I have a purpose in life, but sometimes, I feel like I'm just annoying the person I'm trying to make laugh, and I get really worried that I'm not a good friend sometimes. It is also said that Pinkie pretty much learns after she has made the mistake. For me, this is the same thing. I never really encounter the same area to make the mistake, or not to make the mistake again, so it's just something new every time. This video doesn't _exactly_ have my problem, but there are several things in this that will most likely help me with my small issue. So uh... Thanks, I guess. c:

[@purrpletiger2159]

That was me the year this video was posted... Now I just accept that I'm an annoying hypomanic thats going crazy! hahaHAheeheehee x3

[@hoodagooboy5981]

Seeing Pinkie with Dr. Wolf reminds me of the old concept: Introverts need time alone to recharge their energy so they can deal with people, while extroverts need time with people to recharge so that they can deal with being alone.

[@CurlyHairedRogue]

Doctor... there's something more to these episodes than meets the eye, something to do with YOU, isn't there? All these allusions to something within you causing some kind of perturbation. I don't know if you intend to touch on this, but I can feel some heavy emotions, just from listening to your voice. Maybe... maybe you need a moment with someone else... or even a moment with yourself. Just a thought. 'Twas a grand episode. Thank you again Doctor. You truly are amazing.

[@tabuu9]

THAT HANDSHAKE ANIMATION IT IS GLORIOUS

[@FACEFORWARD12]

THANK YOU! You are the first person who actually portrays her problems properly without turning her into a headcase. A lot of people read FAR too much into her character and like to turn her into 'bi-polar" pony or make her mentally unstable to the point where she's actually become a straight up monstrous villain in some fan works *cough*cupcakessmilehdfivenightsatpinkie's*cough*, which simply isn't her. Yes, she makes mistakes and can often be thoughtless and impulsive, but that just makes her more realistic...not crazy or mentally unstable. A lot of people are like that where they act first and think later. It's a matter of self control and some people struggle to learn that more than others and although it may be hard to learn to overcome those kinds of obstacles, it doesn't mean that the situation is hopeless. It just means that, having worked on something so hard, they can be all the more proud, once they overcome them. It's for that reason, that I really appreciate the way you portrayed her here. It was accurate without destroying her as a character. I applaud you on this particular episode, Dr Wolf, Well done sir. Well done. :)

[@JacobMKeeneAKADrPepperKing]

Interesting as always! And I just realized that this is actually the first AMWDW episode where one of my subscribers is in it (missbunniswan)!

It's Pinkie Pie, don't question.

[@jerichogarry]

Also have you noticed how many made up party names she's named, she even celebrates birthdays before they happen while stating how many more days until the actual birthday, I know she's suppose to be the best party planner in the show but I think she over plans everything like Twilight.

[@mandragoradravgis]

I can't like this enough. The animation came out amazing and the script is very thoughtful and the voice acting was excellent.

[@celestinebuendia]

"It seems you have a hard time empathizing with other ponies." It seems that the Creepypasta writers were pretty smart when they made Pinkameana.

[@littlellama400]

and according to a smart pony theorizer, "Cupcakes" can indeed happen

[@waityamihereagain1978]

1:09 wait did that cupcake have chocolate in it? HOLY S**T, PINKIE YOU KILLED HIM! no wait he's alive, carry on

[@sonicgen20]

It's not that Pinkie's insensitive, she's just not that good at reading others. She likes to spread joy in the traditional sense, parties, games, conversation, but she doesn't realize that not every one experiences the same amount of joy that way or sometimes she takes them a bit too far.

[@sonicgen20]

Just because Rainbowdash is my favorite doesn't mean I hate the others. Pinkie is actually my second favorite ,and even Applejack my least favorite isn't bad.

[@sonicgen20]

Pinkiesandwichfan Yeah, the writer's really don't seem to know what to do with Applejack's character anymore.

[@gracemeredith5375]

I wish the folks on the writing staff could read into the ponies like this. AJ is in a bit of a rut now isnt she

[@mr.outlaw231]

***** Or she is insensitive, but she tries to make up for it the best she can. Hey, if you flip a coin, there is always a chance to make it fall on the other side.

[@astromire6697]

daww i loved the ending of the video and how pinkie shows her deepest feelings and struggles, we all sometimes have to do that

[@EmotionallyDistanced]

Amazing BUT THAT BEGINNING FACE WHEN PINKIE CAME XD

[@MarissaOfUnderground]

This is already my favorite Mane 6 visit, and we're only halfway through them! I knew I'd love Pinkie's right from the get go, and it's a plight I relate to all to often, being very much like Pinkie myself. This also gets into Pinkie's antics in Filli Vanilli flawlessly, something that has caused her to lose popularity among the fans. Once a character makes Fluttershy cry, they sadly never live it down. I was mostly just upset with the writers when that happened, but I like this video's take on what Pinkie might have been thinking when she did what she did. I understand and connect with the notion of not realizing when one is going too far, and the difficulty one may have with understanding others' feelings. I want to give this video a huge "THANK YOU" for tackling this. And that ending...good goodness. TwT

[@FireFox-co2zy]

1:06 uh pinkie, I think you killed him with that chocolate cupcake 1:12 never mind, he's fine

[@DRWolf001]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@matthewpalumbo3934]

The way you were able to transition Pinkie's visit into a therapy session was quite impressive. It worked so naturally without feeling forced in the least. The problem Pinkie has in which you discuss is one I am still working on. This being how I am very enthusiastic towards things that are of interest to me in which I really want to share with others. Since my degenerative eye condition keeps me from noticing Non-Verbal Cues I'd often fail to notice my enthusiasm was not as well received as what I'd gather from the inflection of the individual(s) I'd be sharing my thoughts and feelings with. This has gotten me into tons of trouble. Fortunately, my wife is very open and honest and has taken the time to help better educate me on how to "Dial it Down" or use a probing question before I start going all Pinkie Pie on someone. So you hit the nail on the head when you mentioned how a character like Pinkie could struggle with her utilization of her special talent for the rest of her life. I know I will since I aspire to be more than a guy with a misunderstood disability who is socially awkward to no end. I'm often so desperate for people to care about me or get involved with other people for the sake of feeling important or appreciated that I truly do more harm than good. I'm going to add this to the "Dr. Wolf" folder I have associated with "Coping with Disabilities through Pony". I know it will relate and help more than just myself. Thanks for your efforts, Dr. Wolf. You truly do a lot of good with what you do. And, even if it never gets you where you'd like to be, I hope you can take heart in knowing you are positively impacting a lot of people who may not have anyone or anything they can relate with until you came along to show they can be understood.

[@DRWolf001]

Glad to be of service Matthew.

[@matthewpalumbo3934]

The animation is great! I like how it captured Pinkie Pie's Fourth Wall humor and general cartoony demeanor were presented! Great job, Dr. Wolf!

[@jerichogarry]

If I had a dollar for how often she broke the fourth wall or said something that meant she knows this isn't real life or that she and the Equestria girls Pinkie are somehow connected across two universes... I'd be the richest person on the face of the earth. haha!

[@TigerW0lf]

Missbunniswan makes an incredible fan VA of Pinkie, most of the time we dont get the level of attention to pinkies speech patterns with other vids as this person has demonstrated.

[@teric2]

MissBunniSwan, it was UNCANNY how well you portrayed Pinkie. Very well done! So I'm trying to decide here: is DrWolf a biped or a quadruped?

[@DRWolf001]

Depends on what the Artist prefers I suppose. :)

[@inejwstine]

Amen! I couldn't help but wonder if DrWolf had somehow cajoled the real voice actress for Pinkie to come on the show!

[@Maphisto86]

This was a really excellent clip. I liked the script and Missbunniswan's voice acting as Pinkie Pie. Crowne Prince's animation and lip syncing were pretty fluid, and I enjoyed his art style. There was a lot of detail to some background elements, though I could not help but notice the lack of cutie marks on the pony characters. Aside from that nitpick though, the characters were well drawn and colored.

[@sethcarlow8363]

Wow this is a real good video. cool. your awesome +DRWolf001. sweet ending.

[@sailorlarz]

Coming here 6 years later, I can see myself alot in pinkies shoes. I've grown to become an energetic and goofy guy who loves to make people laugh and smile, but I'm learning to also know my audience and be cautious of people feelings. Not always do I get it right, and this reminds me that, instead of trying to make others change themselves, maybe I should prefer their feelings at times. Not every quiet person loves to goof all the time. Thanks Dr. Wolf Also watching your bday suprise, it totally gives your comment on preparing new light God bless💜

[@Frikken]

Greetings Doc, I had to give some input on this video because you are without a doubt my favorite KZbinr in this fandom, as well as someone I really look up to. I appreciate this video more than you could imagine, as I have always had a similar struggle. While unlike Pinkie, I've never had the ability to make friends with so many people, I still try my best to keep the friends that I do have happy. However, often times I say the wrong things, or I act in a manner that wasn't appropriate for the situation. Sometimes, I've made things worse and felt horrible because of it. All because many times, I'm unable to tell how people are feeling, or because I take a method of help that isn't what they want or need. Your advice is very solid, and you have presented this in a way where people like myself could understand and completely relate to the situation. I appreciate all the work you've done, and I look forward to what you can do in the future to help others. You're a great man Doc, thank you for making this series, and thank you for always being there to help others.

I like how you constantly change art styles. With Fluttershy it's highly detailed but very little motion while Pinkie is very simple with a lot of motion.

[@ifen7669]

book in background: I want to be a tree environmental ethics. wut

[@ifen7669]

also : the last time i let crownie prince draw anything

[@mr.outlaw231]

Nalla Gnahz The Tree of Environmental Ethics is possibly the idealistics of "being a tree," or a structure of complete order and control. You see, the trunk is the strength of moral and physical powers. The leaves are to symbolize change, as they change color through out the season. The roots are the mental stability and moral restraint that a person goes through. So, I want to be a Tree Environmental Ethics is probably a philosphy made for people who want to be "morally correct." That, or it's just a book about saving the envirment. Being the setting though.....

[@Bownimations01]

Alexander Washington Really good take ^^ I like the tree metaphor. But the book may also be reference to the fact that in Over A Barrel, Fluttershy says she'd like to be a tree.

[@mr.outlaw231]

Auria_Autumn Well, it can be taken both ways.

[@MeowMeowMeowX3333]

This is one of my favorite morals AMWDR has had, along with one of the best animated and insanely good voice acting. Good job you guys!

[@ThePastAnalysis]

Sooo... it's been a whole day since I made my other post, and some buddies of mine spotted some errors here that I missed. It seems like Pinkie here forgot the lesson from Friend in Deed. In that episode she learned to accept ponies preferring alone time, but here she seems baffled at the very concept of someone being like that. Additionally, Pinkie treats her special talent/cutie mark like some activity to be performed, which is poor wording, since the key to acquiring a cutie mark is finding out what you love. Pinkie's cutie mark represents her love of making ponies smile, not an ability of it. The video also took out of context Pinkie in Pinkie Pride, Filli Vanilli, and Maud Pie. It re-contextualized those episodes to fit with Pinkie's conflict in the video. It's nice to get examples, but I recommend against something like this.

[@ThePastAnalysis]

***** I agree with what you said, but I do think there are differences in this DrWolf video. I agree, there should be baby steps, but I think this interpretation is far too small of a step with everything that Pinkie has gone through. Every episode still affects the characters. After my earlier conversation with my buddies, I've come to think the step taken in this video was too small. Additionally, I think you're whole point on cutie marks is completely reasonable. However, the problem my buddies and me have is one of semantics. The way Pinkie describes what's going on here could use some improvement. The usage of the word "works" is a biggie. She said stuff like "most of the time it works really really well, but when it doesn't work, it really doesn't work. And it makes me feel like I'm bungling on my own special talent." The way this sounds, the cutie mark is sorta an ability that "most of the time" "works really really well," but when the cutie mark doesn't "work," "it really doesn't work." I hope that example makes sense. Please tell me what you think when you have a chance.

***** For your first response, I have a rather simple thing to say. I'm not sure you really addressed the specific thing in question. I find myself yet again agreeing with you, because you're comment is too general as is. Specifically, the problem there is with how those scenes that she referenced are referenced. They're referenced it in way that takes the episode out of context and Pinkie seems to be taking too little a step. I haven't addressed any of the specifics yet, but I'm not sure if you're interested in getting that nitty gritty. As for the semantics piece, we interpreted it differently is the best I can gather. Your argument for why to interpret it as so is good, but I still think better wording should have been used. (P.S. I very much agree with the RD example. I see what you did there with "reinterpret." I think were in agreement there. I think RD's current view of it is already that general broad view. Still, she very much would be depressed in that scenario and it would take time to find a new life balance.) To round up this conversation, understand that I'm less passionate about this argument than it might seem. My buddies sufficiently argued for me to have it. My reaction to it was sorta like this... "Oh.. yeah, I can see that. Still enjoyed it, but I can see that." I still think this AMWDW was a cut above the rest, but I acknowledge there were some things I originally didn't think, which I now do. It makes this video less impressive in my eyes, but it's still a great video nonetheless.

Man you guys really don't pinkie do you? Because even if this video made good point you still complain

[@ThePastAnalysis]

***** So, this video made mistakes in the following ways. 1. (a) In Friend in Deed, she learns that some friends don't want to be bothered in that manner. We saw her in the DrWolf Anniversary. So, it's odd that she was so surprised by something like that with DrWolf. (b) Then her jumpy-ness in the very beginning seemed very unusual, we haven't seen anything close to that level in her character ever I'd argue. As things have moved forward, I can't think of time that she was ever like that. Even in Friend in Deed. 2. (a) Her feeling of inadequacy to Cheese Sandwich in Pinkie Pride is what caused her to lose her empathy. She focused more on winning to Cheese than helping Rainbow Dash, and thus lost sight of Rainbow Dash's feelings. This was an important layer to her empathy failure in that episode. It shouldn't simply be ignored. (b) In every scenario, her empathy still has reasons for why it's bad. I feel like those distinct reasons for empathy loss were overlooked. It's more than a mere lack of empathy. It's a lack of empathy when certain factors are present. 3. (a) Pinkie stated in Filli Vanilli "But I'm so good at it." That was her response to Rarity saying "stop being ridiculous." So, I think it was more her being silly for the sake of being silly. (b) Then we have to consider the facial expressions that the other character gave off. Fluttershy wasn't balling out in cries the first time in Filli Vanilli. It wasn't this clear cut thing of "empathy" problems, but empathy problems at that certain point. There shouldn't of been an acknowledgement that her empathy issues were more complex. (c) Pinkie didn't get a clue about Fluttershy's sadness in later portion of Filli Vanilli, until after Fluttershy ran out crying and her statements on what happened at that point in time were merely retelling what happened in a poor tone. Telling someone how they overcame their problem can actually make them happier, but the way Pinkie's tone was it had the opposite effect. So, more specifically, you could say the problem is with Pinkie's tone in particular instances, not the words she says. I wish this level of nuance was included. This is what actual analysis is, it's break down of what happened. This video moreover did a simplification. 4. (a) Pinkie in Maud Pie was in a much different scenario than merely empathy failure. It was more like prediction failure. The mane6 interacted with Maud on an individual basis and were trying to keep the issue hidden. There was no way Pinkie could have known there was a problem until after being told. So, all you can blame her on there is that she poorly predicted what would happen. (b) To say the Maud Pie incident was related to Pinkie's empathy issues is a HUGE jump. Many many individuals in that scenario would have trouble detecting the mane6's emotions. Detecting what someone is trying to show you via facial expressions is one type of empathy. Trying to detect something in someone's facial expressions that their trying to hide is a completely different type of empathy. One is commonly referred to as empathy and the other is usually referred to as lie detecting. As for the poor wording, I didn't trip up on that. However, my buddies did and I don't fault them for not seeing it, The wording could have been SIGNIFICANTLY better. We can just simply blame those people for not getting it or we can grant that the wording could have been better. I do the latter. I think simply labeling those individuals as "petty" is unfair. Should they have gotten it? Maybe, but the fact of the matter still remains that they didn't. And if someone like DrWolf wants to make sense to a larger audience of people, then he should know where some wording failed in translation. There's always improvements to be made in what we say. If one cares about a failure in their wording, then I think I should tell them when failures occur. I think DrWolf cares a lot about this, so I brought up the critique. It's a minor a critique, but a critique that should be heard nonetheless. I hope these statements clear things up.

[@ThePastAnalysis]

Pinkiesandwichfan Please read my latest comment. I'm trying to break down my critiques as much as I can.

[@robertm741]

I know there's little chance of you seeing this, Doctor, amongst the mass of comments you get, but I just thought I'd say that as an aspiring career counselor, I definitely look up to you and your ability to connect with people and help them see the good in what would otherwise be seen as a very negative situation in their life. While I don't think I'll be taking quite the same approach as you seem to, your advice to others is always wonderfully thought out, even when it's off the top of your head like in the live AMWDW anniversary special, and I always take parts, if not all, of the advice you give people in this series for future reference. You're an amazing individual, Dr. Wolf, and you are a perfect addition to this amazing fandom. Thank you for all that you do!

[@DRWolf001]

Glad to be of service Robert.

[@AJponyAPschannel]

Considering I'm more of a pie, is this how I often act?

[@gutsmasterson2488]

I didn't like this AMWDW the animation looks weird and the beginning was pure diabetic energy and... I sympathise with Pinkie too much in this

[@gutsmasterson2488]

Pony Tonite No! I am! I am actually autistic!

[@thesmolswefur1357]

AJ pony , AP's channel Hi! I have Autism too!

[@TheropodHunter]

Another great vid, Sir. Also, Pinkie's voice was very like Andrea Libman's :D

[@Jacoboby1]

Doc ya gotta help me! My daddy beats my mommy! My Mommy Clobbers me! My Grandpa is a Commie! My Grandma pushes tea! My sister wears a mustache! My brother wears a dress! GOODNESS GRACIOUS! That's why I'm a mess! (Let us see who can get the reference shall we?)

[@MLP-Trinary]

Another amazing video! You really showed that you get Pinkie Pie and it's an amazing production. It's incredible how well you flesh her out and bring her to life. Makes me wish I was in the room with the two of you!

[@movingchannels3539]

Lia: Umm hey Dr.Wolf? .... I was wondering if a...I don't know..maybe ...I could.... nevermind it's stupid... Mia: come on Lia..spit it out Lia: umm..ok... *takes deep breathe* I was wondering if I could...I don't know...maybe been in AMWDW.... I know you may get a ton of requests. .and I know I'm not popular enough.. and I may not do reviews and stuff..but I have a great idea for one. . And.. well... both of us are wolves so... Mia: don't forget the fox!! Lia: shush it Mia... *sighs* I understand if you have better things to do than talk to me... I'm used to it... but my idea is about being socially rejected... and how being a brony affects people's judgement on you... so anyway.... *cries* I completely understand if you don't wanna do it... and I don't wanna sound desperate ..nor am I trying to be dramatic so you feel sympathy for me... I am just really shy.. and... well... I just think it's a good idea.... ok.... I bet you won't even see this.... oh and Btw..Mia is my..umm..alter ego... so... Mia: HEY WASSUP!! Lia: stop it Mia..

[@DRWolf001]

Lia the Grey Wolf You have a rather intriguing way of making a request Lia. Though you are correct that I have a Ton of people volunteering for AMWDW. I hope you can understand that I must focus my efforts on those who have been waiting a long time already. Or those who can provide a lot of their own artwork/animation.

[@movingchannels3539]

I tend to be creative in my own way.. and I truly do understand ( btw. .I'm totally fan girl in now cause you are my IDOL) and I'm not hurt in any way.. I am a truly understanding person.. but I hope later in the future I can work with you.

[@DRWolf001]

Lia the Grey Wolf I'm trying to work with as many people as I can, and it's good to know that you enjoy my work. Perhaps one of these months...

[@movingchannels3539]

*squee* oh and also... I seriously am dying over the fact that our ocs are both wolves...

[@movingchannels3539]

But just the fact that you actually responded just warns my heart ( and that never happens..)

[@animegx45]

Oh Pinkie, my favourite pony. I happily wait for her to make me smile more.

[@LtHavoc1983]

Too bad this cant be Canon......

[@aguy17]

I can't even put into words how much I love this! I've been looking forward to Best Pony's Moment for a long time.

[@MAYHEM420-69]

0:21 that moment when your wifi stops and your parents blame you for using up all the data when you didn't even know that the WiFi went out...

[@Pikachumusic25]

Amazing episode, you guys handled Pinkies character sooo amazingly. :) Dr, I gotta hand it to ya, you seem to handle all of the main 6 characters super well, I love that they all stay true to the character. Inspirational as always, and great job Crowne Prince :)

[@Kevin-sg1sz]

My god drwolf this was a great idea a way of adding more character development and going in depth into the characters psychology I love it

[@gavinbradshaw9055]

WOW... That was deep. There was a lot of emotions in this video. In the end though it was amazing. Well done!

[@raininess]

Really sweet take on this. ^^ Gosh, this makes me think of all the extroverts around me who don't seem to grasp how being at home doing quiet things lets me recharge my energy bar. I know they want me to have fun, but goodness, social interaction is so exhausting and they shouldn't assume that everyone defines "fun" the same way.

[@Gothstana]

missbunniswan does such a good job voicing Pinkie in this. And ***** again for such good animation. c:

[@nekonomicon9938]

Truly this was very enigmatic. The voice of Pinkie was spot on and the atmosphere remained relaxing yet tense as it built up.

[@MrArchimondde]

You do realize that Enigma was a German ciphering machine? :P Enigmatic means puzzling or secret.

[@warrirornunluv801]

That was AWESOME! :D The animation is breathtaking and I would love to see the next pony to talk to! :D

[@MrMarinus18]

That was great. You really are at your best when interacting with extremely energetic characters.

[@jericdev]

I have to say that this was likely my favorite of all of your video's yet. Keep it up Doc :)

[@ashslaa]

Dr Wolf has more patience than I do to deal with pink bundle of hyper activity.

[@nicholaskingmequeen]

Awww I really enjoyed this one! Pinkie Pie is so sweet, and her talk with Dr. Wolf was very interesting and fun to watch. And that photo at the end *squee* Also props to Crowne Prince, that animation was great! ^__^

[@junco88]

So cute 😭💙 I know I just commented like a whole chapter on the Fluttershy session, but I can't help myself! I actually felt very understanding with /you/ this time. I'm an introvert too, and may be confronted now and then by extroverts like PinkiePie who just love people and making friends. I do like PinkiePie, but she does tend to be overbearing. It's really helpful to me to be able to see into her mind; that she doesn't burst bubbles on purpose. She just wants to make everypony smile! And I really admire your response too. So happy to have found your channel! Maybe we'll meet at Bronycon someday☺️

[@GPischke]

Very cool analysis, Doc. Crowne's animation is pretty well done and I very much enjoyed this. I look forward to the next one of these.

[@Slytherin90.]

Wow, this therapy visit between these two was something else. :) But, gaahh, it touched my heart when Pinkie cried.
