Pinkie Pie: I just like working on poetry!
Gilda: Don't give me that! You've been playing me. What the hell is your game?!
Pinkie Pie: I dunno what you're talking about. You made a more impressive party planner than I did, fair and square. I guess I should tweak my character build after all! You sure showed me! You win! I lose!
Gilda: Only because you– But then why– You...! GYAAAARRRRGGGHHH!!!!
SFX: (SLAM)
DM: Um, go after her?
Rainbow Dash: Yeaaahhh... I'm on it.
When I start pulling screencaps from an episode, there are usually one or two notable ones (like firebreathing Gilda there) that come to mind that make me think, "Man, I'd really like to find a use for that, but I don't know if I can fit it into the story." And yet, more often than not, lo and behold...
Note: Guest comic submissions are now open! Guidelines here. Current deadline: 4/1/21.
It was only a matter of time before this inevitable reaction. I hope RD can calm Gilda down and get her to play their game together (the way it was originally intended), cause I think she might actually enjoy it (and I think she would add excellent dynamic to the party as a whole).
It works in conjunction with that later season redemption episode (griffin idol and whatnot). Tracking Gilds down in a destitute place. (man, imagine if the entire griffin race was composed of power gamers. They only be in it for the proffit and... waitamoment!)
Yeah - what if that's what happens to the group Gilda's in? Gilda's been infected with RP, and unconsciously starts pulling it off in her powergamer group, but the others don't know what to make of it so they try to powergame their RP - it's up to the pony players to put it right. (Maybe a side or guest arc where they take their PCs into another, all-griffon game?)
