in other news…. Rarity’s parents aren’t actually there… Unless they are behind someone as well. I’m not sure but I haven’t seen them in any of the pics I’ve looked at. Only set of parents who weren’t in the pics. although I guess Diamond Tiara, Silver Spoon, Cheerilee are also somewhat important characters…. But why Twist and the other filly? Also what do any of them have to do with Rarity? Did they have a scene with her and I’m just forgetting?

This is why there should full background shots of the characters in the Magic of Friendship Grows.

No they didn’t. You’re behind Twilight’s head.

im still wondering why flash is there

Poor Gallus. The orphan came all this way just to be covered up behind somebody’s head.

He was put in the song actually, he just happens to be RIGHT behind Twilight and barely visible for some reason ;w;

Sorry to burst your bubble, but he’s to the left of Spike. It’s hard to notice him though, because Twilight is so much in the forefront.

He’s there!!

He’s in Twilight’s collage, right next to Spike and Trixie. He just gets covered up as she flies in.
