I also think the chicken given to pinkie pie is also going to be used as a key for the box.

I believe Boneless is Pinkie's key

[Bronies Are Cool]

is boneless the chicken's name? I guess i didn't catch that

[Gnarrkhaz]

Yes

Woah, it's been a while since I bothered posting on here. I guess the new site design was not a big enough turnoff to drive me away for long... meh

But regardless, Breezies have adorable design, love their little faces. They probably felt the voice pitching necessary, and to an extent it was (can you imagine them all speaking with a deep baritone?), but I wish it wasn't because it was really hit-or-miss.

Also, I deliberated this a crapload with ph00tbag, but... what language are they speaking? It sounds like an approximation or custom variant of German, but then Seabreeze speaks with what sounds like a Scottish accent. I don't even what

Speaking of Seabreeze though, I love his design to death. Those colors are just so great together.

Although, catering to my find-at-least-one-thing-that's-offensive-per-episode sense, it seems just a liiiittle bit suspicious that Seabreeze is male while also having a short temper with a light flavoring of intense shaming of fellow breezies

oh and also this



He's still cute though, so I'll give him a pass this one time.

Now, as for the mane six turning Breezie... its all a marketing ploy so habsro can produce breezie mane six toys for ludicrous amounts of cash

But other than a couple of "srsly" moments, this episode was mostly about how cute small things are, and they were cute enough for 10/10 would watch seven more times today.

Being german myself i can assure you that wasn't german. It sounded a little bit like a scandinavian language to me. Any scandinavians here to prove me wrong?

I bet it's just a made up language.

[CitricAcid]

I thought the language sounded like one Rolf from Ed, Edd, n Eddy would have spoken. Their accents seemed similar.

[ph00tbag]

It's certainly no single Germanic Language. Some lexemes seem to resemble their Dutch cognates, others seem more Scandinavian, and still others resemble Scots. The parts of the language that sound Germanic are definitely from somewhere in the North Sea. But then, at other times, Seabreeze in particular seems to be speaking Finnish, which isn't even Indo-European.

Some phrases I've picked out:

"Moegle di sarked us?"
Speakers of most Germanic languages will recognize a lot of this, actually. "Moegle is clearly cognate to "mögen" in German, which means, "can." "Di" and "us" are clearly "you" and "us." "Sarked" seems to be the second person form of "sark," which would seem cognate to "search." I imagine morphological shifting led "search" to mean "understand."

"Mijr fargen."
I say "Mijr," here, because I think "fargen" is a verb meaning "forgive" or "pardon," which takes a dative object, and "mir" is the dative first person.

"Mer lanke?"
"Mer" obviously means more. "Lanke" seems to mean water, but I can't figure out what it's cognate to at all. A lot of the lexicon seems made up even if a lot of the grammar is distinctly Germanic.

[FritzyBeat]

I know, they will all become alicorns, and their horns will be the keys! And the fandom subsequently explodes.

Best theory yet. :3

Also, I have to agree with Clavi; Adorable designs are adorable because adorableness X3

[Gnarrkhaz]

Thanks for the insights, ph00tbag. Having ditched Linguistics at University i couldn't analyse that anymore if i tried.

[itroitnyah]

AJ is a complete cringefest the entire episode, haha. This episode actually made me really want to punch AJ right square in the chatterbox.

[ph00tbag]

I really didn't enjoy this episode at all until the swamp scene. Like, AJ was actively unenjoyable for me. If it weren't for the Chimera, and the Hayseed Swamp/Hollow Shades(?) bit at the end, this would have been one of the worst episodes in the series for me.

It's not Norwegian, and it doesn't sound like Swedish either. I'm leaning towards Gaelic.

Proving you wrong:



That's a proper Swedish accent

[ph00tbag]

It's definitely not related to any Gaelic language I've heard of. Like I already posted, it's mostly Germanic, and not likely any one Germanic language, but something of an invented pidgin.

[Jokeblue]

I.... have a lot of catching up to do...

[Fl Brony]

I.... have a lot of catching up to do...

Me and you both...I still haven't seen Rarity takes Manehatten.....

[Jokeblue]

I also just found out that there's an upcoming episode called "For Whom The Sweetie Belle Tolls".

I kinda hope that the fandom suddenly floods with Metallica covers.

That would at least be something new.

In today's episode, the mane six did meth and Tank was finally showed up in an episode again.

God, the first thing I thought was how goth Maud is. Like, whoa. Oh lordy, she totally sounds and acts like that cliche cringe goth too.

It doesn't talk, it's a dress

most realistic and best line from the show yet. So far everything that Maudi has said has been great.

8:49 is the best point in the episode, because Rarity finally took off the ridiculous hat.

This episode in a nutshell:


Pinkie was fairly annoying the whole episode, but this has to be one of my favorite episodes out of the season, aside from most of the CMC episodes.

[CitricAcid]

I was hoping that the mane 6 would decide that it would be a good idea to ASK HER ABOUT ROCKS! If you want to get to know someone, ask them about themselves and the things they like. Everyone likes talking about themselves.

[Gnarrkhaz]

I like the episode very much. It reuses a character that was only hinted at many episodes ago and fleshes out the world more doing so. Why bring in more and more stuff when there's already enough to work with? Furthermore Maud is just awesome. Her being so stoic makes the parts where she actually emotes little payoffs. It's cool to see how Pinkie and her get along although being so different.

Oh...So, Maud was nowhere to be seen in The Cutie Mark Chronicles? Oh......i hate everyone.

edit: Oh...so she appeared in Pinkie Pr...fuck it, what am i doing? It's late. I'm going to watch Spoony videos now. Bye.

[Jokeblue]

Ok I am quite far behind BUT -

Filli Vanilli. Omg. Best episode I've seen so far. It was so well done, so unexpectedly hilarious. I loved it. So good.



aaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa



Ok i'm done now

[AyaneFukumi]

I literally died at "It tastes like apples"

[itroitnyah]

For whom sweetie bell toils. Sweetie bell finally used magic.

I just learned that Rarity will assist in executions.

Overall the episode was OK, not the best, but not the worst. Better than some of the just OK episodes though. It taught a real good lesson though.
