At 0:26 did she say asshole?

>>435

I had to listen to it at least a dozen times before I figured out she said 'rascal'.

Holy fucking shit.

It's official, Fluttershy's "fear" is an act. She has bigger stones than any other character on the show...

First she made a full grown, terrifying dragon cry like a bitch, and now she scared a fucking cockatrice so bad it couldn't even turn her into stone.

What the shit, Fluttershy.

Am I the only one who'd like a full version of the lullaby, sung by Fluttershy?

Yeah, I'd play that before bed.

This episode furthers my theory that Fluttershy is the "bitch" out of all 6. Rarity's a saint compared to her.

She's got that condescending way she talks to everypony and tells them how they're wrong but in that "polite" way, until she snaps and just says what she means.

This is a pony who glowers her chickens into submission. I think we need to swap Fluttershy with a disdainful look into the "OBEY" poster -- she's earned it.

New trip, i used to be mole.
I'll be making a new thread every friday, Australian Easter Time, to make it easier for all of us bronies.

Isolated alleged "asshole" dialog.

Oh I know!

I'm super hoping that Fluttershy gets more singing roles in the future, her voice is great!

>>443
Me too, while I looooved Sweetie Belle's rendition and that more than anything has her at the top of my "favorite babby pony" list. Doesn't hurt she's absolutely adorable in every way to boot. Apple Bloom still has the cutest voice, though.

Fluttershy definitely needs to sing more, but I also wanna hear Dash get a song in an upcoming episode, and/or Applejack. Flutter's voice is so soothing though, even moreso in song. Despite her problems in this episode, I still think when it comes down to it she'd make the best mom out of all the ponies.

>>448
Okay, after listening to the two offending diphthongs with over and over again with speakers up to my ears on a tight loop, she is in fact saying "rascal". It's the background noise is clouding just enough so that it can be... interpreted differently.

Yeah, it wasn't as great as I was hoping for (big Fluttershy fan) but I got my fix of Fluttershy, and it had its moments.

This thread needs more love :P

Episode 17 in 720p
Enjoy!

So, everypony has been talking about Fluttershy's Stare and how Sweetie Bell is Rarity's younger sister. But there was something else that stuck out. Something that made Equestria of MLP a lot more 'darker'.

I'm talking about what happened to Twilight.

This was the very first time in this cartoon somepony actually got did in. Sure, we had episodes with a dragon, a manticore, a hydra and of course Nightmare Moon. But in this episode we got a monster who actually incapacitated a main character no less.

You know how on /co/ we have fun with those nonsense fanfics where the MLP cast gets hurt or even maimed? It's not gonna happen of course, but this episode showed that there are things in MLP capable of hurting/killing ponies.

Again, it'll never happen. But it disturbed me a bit.

Your thoughts?

>>461
It's true, this is the first time a creature was so straight-up dangerous without really playing the physical threat for laughs.

However, I loved the little touch of a snail slowly making its way across Twilight's face when the kids stumbled onto her. That was hilarious to me, as well as all the screaming afterward.

>>461

That is a good point.

I'm glad dear Lauren isn't afraid to add a little grimdark, even if it IS toned down by comedy.

I was legitimately concerned when Fluttershy started turning. I figured she was done for.

Personally this episode is second from the bottom for me. I cant complain about it tho even a lower level episode of this is still puts me into a pretty good mood. Scootaloo is the only one of the young ponies that I like so I really hope the classmates dont show up next week.

>>461
This kind of stuff really interests me. First it means if I ever end up in Equestria I could be an adventurer. Second it has me wondering about the adult ponies. Are all of them off fighting something even more dangerous? Celestia sent her prized student off to face a dragon, the woods have manticores and cocktraices and theres a hydra in the swamp so something really big must be going on elsewhere for that kind of stuff to just slide by.

HEY MasterlinkX has posted the episode again as one part AAAAAANNNDDD in HD! tme to go screen cap :P

I'm just so surprised that twilight wouldn't know what the cockatrice was and flee or teleport.

But it does seem there are a lot possible dangerous creatures all nearby to ponyville. Much like townsville it seems.

>>461
Now that you mention it, yeah, that is a little worrisome.
I honestly thought that it wouldn't actually be Twilight Sparkle and just a statue, though.

>>467
The problem with cockatrices and other gaze attacking creatures is that unless you know its there and are consciously avoiding it, the first time you see it you're likely to catch its eyes. And lets be honest, when was the last time a wizard passed a fortitude save?

>>469

I was actually discussing this with another brony, and we both agree that Fluttershy is a paladin, without question. She's passive and quiet, right up until the MOMENT the innocent are threatened or put in danger, and then all of a sudden she unleashes a righteous fury that purges all in front of her in cleansing holy fire.

>>470
I still see her as a druid. It seems like paladins normally don't wait for SHTF before acting. I guess I could see it, But I think a NG Druid fits her better. Also: first thought when she used 'The Stare' was charm/dominate animal.

>>461
I actually totally shit my pants during this episode. It was like a horror movie to me. The part of the snail crawling across Twilight's face disturbed me to no end.

Well, every episode has it's theme. I wouldn't have minded this one to go a bit longer for a better resolution, as the current ending is kind of abrupt.

I liked the dark tone. Shows the show ain't afraid to get edgy.

"How would the cutie mark of a pony whose talent is arguing look like?"

Well, maybe...

First off Futtershy is a bamf.
Second off, I want that song in an mp3.
Third off, this was the first episode without a clear moral since theres really a few things you could take from it instead of just one.
And last off, a episode in the Everfree forest without Zecora??? I am dissapoint! >:C

Also someone has already make drawings of the girls as D&D classes you can check it out here: http://amaruana.deviantart.com/

(they made Rarity the Paladin though and they havnt done Fluttershy yet)

personally i use vdownloader but the link was in the description so there ya go

As everypony here agrees, Fluttershy is one B.A.M.F. In the words of Slade from Teen Titans Go!: 'It's always the quiet ones... *creepy head twist* ...isn't it?'

But one thing in particular that I wanted to bring up. Follow my logic here:

Apple Bloom = Applejack's baby sister

Sweetie Belle = Rarity's baby sister

Scootaloo = Rainbow Dash's baby sister?!

I believe that this is a consummation most devoutly to be wished. If it is revealed to be true in future episodes, then I shall have to come up with a new word to replace 'love' to describe how I feel about this show. ^-^

P.S.: How likely do you think it is that Sweetie Belle's special talent is singing? Seriously, that filly's a gospel choir all by herself!

>>444
Ill teach you something about submission if you dare refer to Fluttershy as a "bitch" again.

When Fluttershy just stops talking to see Twilight turned to stone. It's a short moment, but she just stops. No "*gasp*" or "What..?". She just... stops.

*shudder*

>>461
Personally, I think that it's a good thing. It shows that not everything is all rainbows and sunshine, that there is a very clear and present danger everywhere.

>>467

Hey, we all roll nat 1's on our Knowledge (Arcana) checks sometimes...

>>461


Man I felt like shit when I saw Twlight turned to stone line that.

>>461
It's kind of fun. Where, given the nature of the show, you know that Twilight is going to be fine at the end of the episode ... but you still get that chill up your spine.
Also, thinking, where would Twilight be if not for Fluttershy?

I love this show.

anypony else deeply afraid of fluttershy now?

she's got that evil eye down lol

>>461
Yes, this did surprise me. Twilight has exceptional magical powers and didn't stand a chance.
Equestria seems a lot more dangerous than you would expect.

can you imagine if the kids HAVENT gone into the woods?

fluttershy woulda never found twilight sparkle

it might have been too late to find the cockatrice to turn her back

also, imagine if sweetie belle didnt wake up the chickens, that one chicken wouldnt have escaped

hell, imagine if sweetie belle didnt mess up raritys golden silk!

this spectacular perfect storm of rowdy kids and fluttershy saved twilight sparkles life

>>500
By the way that a cockatrice can be left to just wander around a forest without anypony trying to get rid of it or setting up precautions against it or other things, I'm going to guess that the situation was never that grave.

I wouldn't be surprised if all it would have taken was sunlight to revert a petrified pony.

Besides, the curse can't have been that strong if the cockatrice could just casually restore Twilight and the chicken as it's running away. Worst case scenario, a group goes looking for her in the morning, they take her to Celestia and everything comes out friendship and rainbows.

>>501

Yeah, i think the cockatrice´s power isn´t so strong.
Look at Fluttershy, she didn´t was really afraid about the cockatrice, you see it very good at the scene, where the CMC saw the stone-twilight, Fluttershy was very calm. And Fluttershy said to the stoned Twilight, that she don´t should move, this mean, Fluttershy had a idea, what she can do with Twilight later.

The petrifaction didn´t really turned things into stone, it looks more like a deposit.
See was much more afraid, that the CMC got in trouble with the cockatrice, than about the magical power.

>>500

I think the ponies would search for her the next day and would found her.

>>505
>And Fluttershy said to the stoned Twilight, that she don´t should move
It's quite common to tell someone petrified not to move. Just for the lulz.

You know, one of the lines during this ep. really got me thinking. But some anon already answered the question.

>mfw something I cobbled together is enjoyed by other bronies

Seriously, thanks for making my day, guys. I needed it after all the 4chan shitstorm today.

Oh I forgot to mention but Fluttershy's voice actress just got a few fan in this episode. There was a bit of dialogue while they were still in the house messing things up where she tries to stop them and there is a very slight breaking squeak that can almost be missed. It was something you know was intentional but sounded so natural for her character that I had to stop the video and clap for good vocal acting.

This episode was great! =) loved the lullabye!

>>444
Really brony? Gonna call FS a "bitch"? Going down the wrong road.
She's not condescending. The whole point of her character progression is to be able to stand up for herself. Hence Angel, the rabbit, elbowing her and such. There are moments when she becomes assertive, but only ever to animals, never other ponies.

Didja hit a senstive spot with me? yes.

The fact that Fluttershy's house is right next to the the everfree forest filled with dangerous and mysterious creatures only further shows how much of a secret bamf she really is.

Hi there - I have a torrent made from the Youtube-Video.
