Most likely Trixie, but it could have been Pinkie Pie. I’m also operating under the possibility that they may have teamed up, since nobody expecting THAT prankster duo would allow for some great pranks, with Trixie bring a much-needed edge to Pinkie’s pranks and Pinkie keeping Trixie’s pranks from becoming mean XD

It’s kind of interesting with Trixie. I kind of think that was a deliberate role-reversal. The ponies she comes up against all have character types typically associated with bad characters. In most stories a character like Rainbow Dash would be a bully, Rarity would be a prissy vapid alpha bitch, Twilight would be a rich dumb know-it-all, and Applejack would be a dumb hillbilly, but MLP wrote them as genuinely good characters instead. Trixie on the other hand, in any other story, would be the heroic underdog like the Daniel LaRusso or the Rudy or the Rocky :P
She’s actually a really interesting character. Like, something that has stayed consistent throughout the entire series with Trixie’s character is she’s either entirely reactive, or only does things the main characters got away with doing first. She only acts out in Boast Busters because Twilight’s friends started a fight with her, she abuses magic to get what she needs at the expense of others in Magic Duel like Twilight did in Lesson Zero, she befriends a character for an entirely self-serving reason (which soon becomes a genuine friendship) in No Second Prances like the Mane Six did in Keep Calm and Flutter On, and she expected to be handed a job at the School of Friendship for no reason other than she was friends with the headmaster in A Horse Shoe-In like every other teacher at that school. When left to her own devices she’s honestly a decent person with moments of true heroism and concern for others, so it’s like she’s the main character of another series who just keeps coming to a head with the main characters of this series XD

The fates of Snips and Snails… I can see what you mean, when I stop to think about it. Huh. Interesting, interesting… I’ll try to keep that in mind, going forward.
I admit, I’m not familiar off the top of my head with the R&M instance you’re referencing, but I’ll take your word for it.

I’m in a place where I totally understand the criticisms with the last few seasons, and especially the last few episodes, and I even agree with a lot of them, but overall I don’t think it came even close to “ruining” the show. If anything, the twist in the finale was totally in-line with their characters since them letting their friends get away with awful things and then turning around and condemning non-friends for doing it or letting others take all the blame and consequences for their friends’ actions is nothing new. They’ve been doing that as early as Boast Busters, like that’s just the kind of show it is. It’s like when people were pissed off by the 9/11 joke in Rick and Morty, like yeah it was a really tasteless joke but have those people seen the rest of that show like King Jellybean or the love potion? :P

Well, suffice to say that I have my own opinions on how the ending of the show was handled, but I’m glad you enjoyed it. I’m also one of those sillies that has overall downcast opinions on how the episodes felt after a point, but still, I’m sure I’ll get around to watching the rest someday. ‘Till then, I like playing around with bits and pieces of what I’ve already seen / been spoiled, as well as lurking in the background while seeing awesome and creative stuff still getting made by names old and new alike. I’m also working on my own stuff in the background that I’d like to share one day, but I’m also slower than uphill molasses. : P

The final two seasons are good, but they are kind of flawed. They kind of pushed the old “It’s just a kid’s show don’t overthink it” angle a little too far I think, but they also did a lot of things I liked. The final episode is really nice too, like it’s clearly written for the people who were the target age group when the show began and watched it throughout, and were 17 or 18 when the finale aired: it’s very much about how these characters have grown and moved on and are adults now and how this thing they had is now over, but it’s still an important part of them and they still have the memories and the friendships. It’s a really nice coming-of-age kind of thing that kind of melds the show being over with how these people are adults now, and I feel like it was really sadly overshadowed by a particularly nasty twist in the otherwise decent two-parter that came before it :P

Reminds me of that one gag in the Starving Games where the Effie Trinket parody lists names and she picks out Hugh Janus, Phil Mahooters and Dean Gulberry

In Dashie’s defense too, like she was just sort of volunteered for this by Twilight. Like, Twilight just sort of woke up one day and was like “I’m going to build a school, and my friends are going to work for it!” Then, when a guy was like “you guys are not teachers you have no clue what you’re doing I’m going to close this school” and Twilight was like “Whatever! I do what I want!” and wrote a new law to sidestep that completely. Next thing Dashie knew, she was expected to teach a class, care for students, and do all sorts of other pedagogical stuff with her own wants and needs and career now being a secondary concern for her. Heck, the one time she basically said “I don’t want to do this” she was insulted, chastised, and made to feel awful about herself until she gave in. In other words, she has no clue what she’s doing, no apparent choice in the matter, and when she tries to push back she’d insulted, so it’s hard to fault her for making a genuine effort even when she is effing it up XD

I… That poor, poor mare. It’s not that she’s never had the enthusiasm, she just has trouble pointing it in the right direction. Somepony should really get on that, rather than continuing to try and let her learn the lesson passively. Otherwise we might wind up with another 28 Pranks Later…
An instance in which I feel Rainbow did little wrong in regards to the pranks she pulled on her friends after the first ‘intervention’:
Applejack accused [read: challenged] Rainbow Dash of not putting in enough effort, prompting her to accomplish the perceived-impossible. Waking up to the likes of muddy bedding, much less trying to figure out how to get her bed back into her house, would however be understandably grump-able.
Meanwhile, Rarity harped on Rainbow for not being considerate enough or including enough enjoyment for others, leading to a prank thought several stages deep, lots of cake that was enjoyed by the secondary prank-e, an apparently pristine outfit as well as carefully placed ponnequin, and Rarity being a spoilsport after the fact. There wasn’t even a speck of mess involved until the second cake collapsed under Rarity’s magic!
