212 images and 32 updates later, the collaboration draws to a close. We shall soon return to regular TV show screencaps.

I think I managed to use every single image I was provided with. Maybe not always with the original context they were conceived with, but we made it work. I cheated and used one repeat, which was the initial Magma Beast image. But other than that, the sequence made a beyond-excellent blueprint for the scripting of the long-awaited Elusive boss fight. Seriously, I’ve been wanting to do this since I started the Swarm of the Century arc.

I urge you all to check out ChrisTheS’s deviantART page, check out the full-res RAW image compilations for these pages, check out Star Mares… just throw as much internet love his way as possible, because I never would have been able to pull off anything like this on my own. For Friendship is Dragons and the things I wanted to do with it, this has been a dream come true. Thanks, ChrisTheS.

DM: You all finally hear the hoofsteps and wingflaps of approaching royal guards.
Blueblood: You think these fools can keep me locked up?
Fluttershy: YES. You’re going to go to prison peacefully and think long and hard about what you’ve done. Or else, I swear, we won’t go so easy on you next time.
Blueblood: Eeep!
(beat)
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, what she said.
SFX: (BONK!)
Rarity: What shall we do now, friends?
Pinkie Pie: I like Applejack’s idea of donuts!
Applejack: Uh, that’s not really what “dollars to donuts” means, Pinkie… But heck, if we don’t need to be here for the arrest, then we might as well go out celebratory snackin’.
Twilight Sparkle: So… do we roll Streetwise to find an open donut shop?
Pinkie Pie: On it!
