|| Leaks show a statue of the two of them, Cozy and Tirek ||

@EotD  
Thx
 
@Derpy Whooves  
Thanks for reminding me, the wait for season 9 to start will be brutal, I wanna know what happens already!  
Anybody know when season 9 is projected to air?

@Ping_chan  

 
April would be my guess…

Any idea when we’ll get a trailer for S9?

@Background Pony #E138  
spring?

@Vortaxonus  
I can’t wait that long!

Looking back at School Raze, it was pretty dumb of Cozy to just throw Neighsay’s medallion away in a trash bin right next to him instead of, oh I don’t know, taking it with her.

@rdibp  
Guess she figured its magic had run out and that there was no way her plan would unravel.

Anyone else notice when Rarity and Twilight got their magic back that some went into Pinkie?

@Blue Blazes  
Yeah
 

My biggest question is who’s skull is it that Cozy keep in her box of trinkets?

@gingerninja666  
I thought it was a toy/ornamental, like the dolls.

@Magma_ERuptiOn
 
It probably was. But it was nicely detailed in any case. Slightly yellowed with spots and cracks on it.
 
It looked real.

I dont want the next season. Thats the end of it all. Im fine right here in limboland.

“I got that from my acting lessons and kept it.”

@Blue Blazes  
It’s always been my head canon that there is definitely something More going on with Pinkie Pie, she’s way more powerful than any earth pony should be.  
In fact, I really don’t see how she should be able to keep doing her fourth wall shenanigans during the season finale, while every other thing that poses magic is bummed out that their magic is being sucked out of them, she’s just trucking along like normal, and then at the end of the finale she has magic being returned to her…  
This makes no sense to me!  
I really hope season 9 wraps up all of these weird bits.

@Ping_chan
 
Maybe it was whatever controls her pinkie sense that left her. Aside from Maud (implying it might run in the family), that’s a power that’s pretty uniqueto her.

@gingerninja666  
The Pie family is definitely something special, Maud almost seems to share some of Pinkies abilities…  
But beyond the sense of “Pinkie being Pinkie” I definitely believe alot of what Pinkie does is magic…  
If I were to try look at her from a in show canon point of view, the only way that I could rationalize her abilities would be that,  
If ponies making friends with other ponies could generate magic between those ponies, then Pinkie Pie having the most friends during the entire run of the show, she could easily be the most powerful pony ever?  
Or at least next to Princess Celestia because every pony in Equestria loves her?  
Was the reason Princess Luna was a filly in the second episode because every pony hated Nightmare Moon?  
Should I be looking at the pony race as a whole as magical power generators the way their friendships generate magic???

Both parts of School Raze should’ve had the same writers. They most likely knew the whole story and talked thing out, but I think it would’ve improved the pacing.

@Ping_chan  
Yeah. Only thing I could think of her losing is her pinkie sense.

I’m really hoping for Diamond Tiara to play a specific part in a season 9 episode.
 
Seriously, the last time she got a speaking role since Crusaders of the Lost Mark was in an EQG short.

If they don’t try to get tempest in at the very least the finale, I’ll be disappoint.

@Blue Blazes  
Season 8?
