Season 9 Discussion Thread [Warning: SPOILERS!!!!!]

@Applelight Limited  
at least for g4, after the ending, we’ll soon move to the g5 speculation thread.

@Rappy0  
She’s going to rule, that’s all we know.

@Rappy0
 
I dont think we will ever know. I have never been a part of the alicornification and now the retiring of Celestia and Luna. But its all said and done now. I am getting mentally ready for G5. The show are running a little on fumes much of the time now.

@silbasa
 
I honestly like her being at the school. Though maybe it’s just because I think it fits her character a lot.
 
She can be a leader, but she clearly doesn’t want to lead and is completely okay living in Twilight’s shadow. Because Twilight was the one who saved her and is the one she owes everything to.

Yep! Glimglam running the school is great for her, and Sunburst helping her out! Though not sure if I agree with Trixie being the counselor. Remember this? https://www.derpibooru.org/2062996?q=november+rain

@Background Pony #8A54  
That’s what you do to competition for your marefriend’s attention. Or she could just T-pose.

I think starlight is perfect for the position of principal. But I ‘flinch’ when being reminded that it’s all about to end very soon. I can’t help it. :(

@Background Pony #8A54  
that’s probably because she wanted more time with starlight.

When Spike started on that list, the only thing i could think was, “God, I wish this show would get its head out of its ass.”

Honestly, I’m still not comfortable with the stuff going on with Twilight’s role in Equestria.

@PonyPon
 
What was the list?

@Derpyfan  
You’re not alone.

@Background Pony #8A54  
That’s the only student that’s going to be like……Oh no
 
Trixie : Oh yes, come share your problem with me.

@Rappy0  
Good to know.

@gingerninja666  
Apparently an official bequeathing of the school’s control to Starlight.
 
@Derpyfan  
@Rappy0  
Welcome to the initial Princess Twilight Years.

“Come in.”
 
Do I sense Twilighting about to come on?
 
Easy there, Starlight.
 
Philis needs a new perch.
 
Of course it will. That’s the nature of work, Trixie.
 
Oh, Trixie, you sweet summer pony.
 
Heh, there’s that magical solution to a problem, Starlight. At least it’s for origami rather than for something too big.
 
You sure you can’t? You and literally all of Twilight’s friends were, though it was because Twilight knew how within your elements you all were.
 
“Wink.” Trixie’s having none of those “ethics.”
 
Starlight, where did you find this piece of work? Put her back where she came from or so help me.
 
“Albeit unnecessary.” Yep.
 
Come on, Starlight.
 
Big Mac’s kill’n it.
 
DROP HER, STARLIGHT. DO NOT LET HER ADVANCE.
 
Yes. Octavia the music instructor. Let her bring in Vinyl Scratch too. Uh, Silverstream, are you left handed? If not, left hand goes on top of the saxophone. And I’m just assuming that Equestria has left-handed saxes. And where is the sheet music you creatures are reading from?
 
PINKIE!…Ok, that sure sparked joy in-universe.
 
That was extra, Dr. Whooves.
 
Come on, Trixie. You gotta want it. Sure, Twilight may have picked her friends without such an interview process, but every hire at least showed that they could focus.
 
Good, Starlight. Eliminate Spoiled.
 
Of course Trixie needs extra hoof-holding. She’s your mare-friend! Besides, takes a pony who needed more hoof-holding to know a pony who needs hoof-holding.
 
Good timing, Trixie.
 
When were PT conferences a thing?
 
Well, when she has an energetic professor.
 
Eh, I don’t think Trixie’s wrong, but not quite friendship-school-vice-headmare worthy behavior in light of Starlight’s comments. Still, yeah, Gruff is a douche.
 
Sky Beak, everything’s alright. Silverstream is doing fine. Her high energy is appreciated.
 
Some griffon needs a hug. Trixie, give him one.
 
Let him down gently. Nice.
 
She doesn’t know.
 
Hooves off Philis!
 
Good. Philis wasn’t gonna.
 
Patience, Gallus.
 
Ok, is the entire student body and faculty present for Octavia’s field trip since Starlight is there? Pfft, probably not.
 
I feel you, Starlight. Field trip through time.
 
HA! Congratulations, Dr. Obvious. Now, broaden our understanding of science, please. Ooh, I got one: traveling through the time stream into the future shouldn’t be possible because the future is cloudy and subjective. The past is significantly more concrete.
 
“Ponies and other students.” That sounds racist.
 
The only problem was that flash bee hive. It was going pretty well until then, and it was entirely accidental. If Trixie hadn’t knocked over the hive, things might’ve gone differently. But I do recall how risk-averse Starlight is.
 
To answer your question, Starlight, yes. It is wrong to think Trixie would pull it off.
 
Exceptionally dangerous.
 
“Nice teamwork, am I right?” Ok, that was horrible timing.
 
Are those brown spots flash bee stings?
 
Starlight, with all that WINKing, talking without raising your voice to Trixie wasn’t gonna go anywhere more productive. And now I see better the purpose of Sky Beak’s scene with Big Mac.
 
Responsible? Meticulous? Smart? Sunburst.
 
When she smiles.
 
“If you’ll have me.”
 
The Great and Powerful Student Counselor Trixie.
 
You don’t know the half of it, Trixie. Starlight was really desperate.
 
“Philis, NO!”

@PonyPon  
well according to hasbro, not actually official, yet.

I checked and I’m pretty sure they changed Octavia’s voice. And not for what I’d call the best.
 
SPoiled Rich might have also, but I don’t care as much.

Okay, fuck you, Starlight. You’re back on the shitlist for that little ignorant potshot.

@AC97
 
Turns out, her hat is actually a dolled up dunce cap. Who knew?

I do like it when Trixie did her smoke bomb and then slowly got down off the table

Holy shit, Trixie seems to have gotten way better at magic.
