Nightly Discussion #1389

Some young Twilight snuggles. I wonder if at any point when she was young she wondered if she would one day be a princess? It's amazing what routes our lives take, isn't it?

More Chancellor Neighsay Coming!

Maurice Lamarche, the voice behind Chancellor Neighsay, has popped up a tweet celebrating the episode today and promising even more to come. We know a few future episodes involve the school, so it's not too much of a longshot. Hopefully he brings on more of that crazy magic he was using today. Were those portals awesome or what?

Come along down the break and let's talk mentally advanced ill cartoons.
