The gala episode is so fucking dumb
Applejack: "Drumming up business at the gala could help me afford my grandmother's much needed hip replacement. The roof of MY HOME is also falling apart, and we have a broken plow. That money would definitely be put to good use."
Rainbowdash: "I want to go to show off for the glorified air force, and once they see how awesome I am, of course they'll immediately pick me."
Pinkiepie: "The gala is a giant party, and even though I have parties, like, every day, this party is bigger than the average party, so I should be the one to go."
Rarity: "I want to go to find a man. Everyone will love me. Even Celestia will love me, and Celestia will introduce me to a prince where we'll have a royal wedding."
Fluttershy: "I don't really wanna go inside, I just wanna stay in the garden with the animals and flowers. Yes my house is already surrounded with flowers and my house is already filled with animals, but this is technically different."
Twilight: "Oh goodness! Everyone seems to have perfectly equal valid reasons to go!"
Like Twilight are you fucking serious. Are we fucking fr. Rarity and Rainbowdash wanted attention, Fluttershy and Pinkiepie wanted MORE of what they already HAVE. APPLEJACK WANTED TO PAY FOR SURGERY FOR HER GRANDMOTHER AND DO HOUSE REPAIRS. HOW IS THIS EVEN A FUCKING DEBATE.
