#mlp fim season 4

"Leap of Faith", ep. 20(85) of season 4 (March 29, 2014).

“Flim Flam Miracle Curative Tonic is Granny Smith tested and Applejack approved! Granny Smith drinks it, why shouldn’t you?”

“Leap of Faith” may be my favorite Applejack episode, favorite S4 episode and one of the top favorite episodes in entire FiM! Applejack-focused episodes in particular are interesting in that, rather than having her learned to be true to her Element, they’re often about testing her faithfulness to it, making her putting her sense of justice in question and having to decide when she ought to follow her moral compass without risk to bring harm with it instead of benefits.

Flim & Flam, in that regard, make pretty good antagonists for her. Two families have quite a few similar priorities: like Apples, Bros are pragmatic, seeking profit from their actions, and work perfectly in sinch for common goal, but their ethics are diametrically different, and as it happens, Applejack sometimes even prone to fall into temptation to use rather similar tactics (take decision to rationalize technology in lieu of traditional work, or use invitation to gala for /pretty sure, illegal in these circumstances/ selling apple products here to rich attendees – wouldn’t she just ask Celestia for financial aid to the national hero’s family instead? – and don’t we forget her alliance with Filthy Rich without Granny’s consent) before it backfires on her as well. So, she has valid reasons for having disdain for methods of Bros, because she’s been here as well and reaped the bitter fruits of blindly following such policies.

Brothers, in particular, make formidable kind of antagonists on the show: for representing most realistic, mundane, everyday sort of evil, which can’t be redeemed or obliterated unlike any other foe our heroes had to stand against. The evil of commerce and material greed! Moreso, they even can be amicable and work together with heroes without having to change their ways, if that means any mutual benefits. (And basically cemented as allies of Mane 6 in the end of the series.) For, as it turns, money is at once the major drive and major scourge of society, be it mankind or ponies.

Anyway, the moral of this particular story is, one crazy old lady is enough to put the crushing end to your successful scam operation. Fatal flaw of these sleek guys appears to be not thinking their schemes far enough to prevent coming close to any possible source of damage. Other than that, they’re pretty fine, aren’t they? They’re, essentially, an embodiment of the main reason for the franchise itself – product promotion, no wonder they’re more frenemies than foes in the end of day.

Season 8 finale if it was awesome

[mlpoutofcontext]

This show had large sections of its adult fanbase that liked to juxtapose its childish nature with the dark and gruesome in fan works like Cupcakes, and had lots of fans making meme edits of the show

This show had much more cryptid/spooky theming, often hid small details in the backgrounds of shots, and would occasionally reference current pop culture, including memes

Now guess which Slenderman screenshot is real.

Would like to follow my trend of Alastor-betray the hotel bullshit with this scene recast from MLPFiM:

The main cast -Lucifer: *all in a cage*

Whoever owns Alastor’s soul: You gathered up all of them?

Alastor, poking Razzle: And his little dragon too.

Razzle: *tries to bite*

Charlie, crying in Vaggie’s arms: Why are you doing this?! I thought we were friends?!

Alastor: Oh we were. But she (?) offered me so much more than just friendship circles. Surely you saw this coming?

Charlie, still crying: I didn’t. I really didn’t. (Buries head into Vaggie)

-After, Alastor’s boss betrays him-

Vaggie: Surely you saw this coming?

Alastor, weak and powerless on the ground: I didn’t. I truly didn’t.

(And yeah, I know Charlie might not trust him to not betray the hotel right away. But if the relationship between everyone in the hotel developed? If she were to kinda forget the reason Alastor is there? Think they’re breaking through to him and he accepts he’s part of the family?)

"Oh, boy! I sure hope this doesn't result in us being harassed by mobs of fans flanderizing us and taking our actions out of context, essentially unleashing Equestrian Twitter upon us."

Felt like going back to my (cringey) roots of when i started doing digital art which yes, was ponies, eqg and mlp related things. I havent drawn any ponies in a seriously long time but I've been thinking about it a lot recently so i thought I'd give drawing Princess Luna another go. I may still be cringe but at least i am free.

Lyrabon appearances: MLP Season 9

The Beginning of the End - Part 2

Aww, even when they are brainwashed they are together. Cute.

A Trivial Pursuit

For once they are able to enjoy a date in peace.

The Summer Sun Setback

She Talks to Angel

Aww, cute picnic date

Dragon Dropped

Praise be to the animators for making them have those cute dates.

Growing Up is Hard to Do

The Big Mac Question

The moment when all Lyrabon shippers screamed (I knew these two were definitely dating but I was not expecting a canon confirmation. I wonder how the Lyrabon denier felt when this happened lol)

The Last Problem

AWWWWW

Having a double date with their fellow gays. wlw and mlm solidarity ftw!

It fills me with pure joy to see they stayed and grew old together. Happy wives! (also is it me or does the pony in the background look like a mix of both of them?)

My other Lyrabon Compilations: Season 1 Season 2 Season 3 Season 4 Season 5 Season 6 Season 7 Season 8

"Twilight's Kingdom", ep. 25-26(90-91) of season 4 (May 10, 2014).

“You’ll play your part.”

So that’s all there for season 4, for now.

I’d like to revisit it in its entirety once I’m going through the whole series. All fanarts I did for season 4 episodes can be seen in its tag. Next season is also one of my favorites, so expect me celebrating its anniversary too in 2025 with new arts. For the rest of 2024, I think, it’s the end of pones…

[feelingvoguish]

I LOVE seasons 4,5,6 of Mlp SO MUCH‼️‼️😔

The seasons were really seasoning there🔥

[starlightspeedster]

I'm currently watching season 9 of My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic. In hindsight, the Discord/Grogar twist was really obvious. Surprised no one picked up on the foreshadowing.

For example, in part 2 of the season 9 premiere, Discord's reaction to Twilight saying that they would not know what the Mane Six would do without his help (12:55), and, of course, Discord faking his injuries.

And yes, this was foreshadowing. Jim Miller confirmed it. Hate to say it, but a lot fans were just dense and missed what was laid down.

[demilypyro]

I really like this season 4 episode. Pinkie finds out she might be related to Applejack, and together they try to find the records to prove it.

In the end it's left ambiguous, though Pinkie is made an honorary Apple anyway. But I like to think the familial connection is subtly confirmed by these two moments where Pinkie and a member of Applejack's family show the same uncanny ability to grab something from the bottom of a pile without it toppling. It's cute.
