Blueblood: A token of my affection, dearie!
DM: As a minor action, Elusive tosses a trick rose at Rarity. Which… misses. BUT! The rose lands next to you and releases a cloud of poison gas.
Rarity: More ironic symbolism. What's next, a marriage certificate written with explosive runes?
DM: No. He moves. As Elusive moves, the amulet grants him supernatural concealment.
Rarity: Oh. He's going to sneak attack me, isn't he?
DM: Correct. For… not that much damage, even with the extra dice. Lucky you. And since HP doesn't really represent wounds until bloodied… I guess all it did was cut your dress.
Rarity: My… My dress… I worked… so hard on this disguise, only to play into your ridiculous gambit…! It. Is. ON.
I haven't already used this line, have I? No? I managed to save it until nearly the thousandth page? (Probably long after anyone who watched the show remembers it was even a minor meme in Season 1?)
Sweet. No, wait, it's come up once before and another time in a guest comic. Ah well. I still appreciate ChrisTheS for putting it in, because I at least had to get one in during a combat scene.
Notice: Guest comic submissions are still open until this arc is finished! Guidelines here.
I couldn't remember if the line had appeared before either, but I don't have the world's best memory for punchlines in long-running webcomics. I'm pretty sure I've used a bunch of Star Wars lines (other than 'I have a bad feeling about this') more than once in mine.
I thought it was used once before, but there's no easy way to search that. Eh, benefit of the doubt I guess. :3
Hmm, no rose in first panel, but rose on the left side in panel 5 and on the right on panel 6. Oh, so like one of those "Dancing" weapons? Dancing Trick Rose sounds like it could be useful, considering the poison gas spray. Until you hit yourself... eh nevermind. XD
If the show itself doesn't make much of an effort to hide when they mirror things, I think I deserve extra credit for even doing it SOME of the time :P
Ironically, the expression in the second-to-last panel was actually taken from Pinkie Pie:

This may surprise you, but there actually is a search bar in the top right of the white part of the page. It's pretty basic, but it searches the comic transcripts and returns links to whichever pages have that complete phrase, punctuation and all (though not case-sensitive).
This reminds me of a time when I created a legendary weapon using components from near extinct sources (rolling well enough to know my meddling wouldn't cause said things to die off). Said 50+ session campaign of searching and harvesting came down to the last boss sundering my weapon, completely destroying it in one go.
DM found out why some players will crutch themselves with bad classes, bad rolls, and meaningless side-quests that don't benefit them too well.
