Look people. This was a video about Ditzy/Derpy going nuts while being voiced by the same woman who voiced Azula. Let us not tarnish the awesomeness of that.
The fact that they did a hands joke is unsurprising and not altogether bad. The execution of this particular joke however wasn’t very good. It was Double Rainboom levels of “look at the meme! LOOK! MEME!” It was really out of place considering how well the rest of the fanon was handled, like Vinyl Scratch’s bit with the lasers.
All in all, I still enjoyed the vid, and this part didn’t take much away from that.
Well, there’s a Lyra and Bon Bon comic out there that portrays Sea Swirl as being obsessed with finding romance between other ponies. In other words, a Shipper on Deck. I’m gonna go with that. ^_ ^
@Princess♠Molestia
She doesn’t have a dolphin obsession. She just trains them to do trick and go on missions in the name of the holy princess of the sun. CELESTIA ETERNAL!
Then again, the muffins thing came from one bit of of footage, and it wasn’t even her who uttered it first. The bronies latched the gimmick to Derpy, when it could have went to Sea Swirl for pity’s sake.
BTW more people should give more stuff to Sea Swirl. Criminally underrated.
@FSin
You should remember that most of those scenes came well after we first saw Lyra sitting like that. By the time those episodes were out she already had a well established fan-canon.
At least the joke wasn’t just “LOL Lyra’s human-obsessed”, but also poked fun at Pinkie’s weird hand thing from “Too Many Pinkie Pies”. If you’re going to use a fan meme, that’s the way to do it.
@Amethyst Star
But the hands thing came from the fact that she was sitting like that. The whole human loving Lyra gimmick was spun off from one second of a scene with her sitting on a bench.
