To answer your second question, feeling pinkie keen introduces us to the idea that twilight obsesses over things she cannot control. This is taken to its extreme in lesson zero and then the idea is further expanded upon in its about time, where the idea is expanded to twilight obsessing over things she cannot control robs her of the ability to think about the things she can control.

Watch this video if you want a great explanation of it's about time. Made by a guy who's great at analysis and critique, you might see in some of his videos that I just copied his script in my post, kek.

This is just one example (but it's my favourite one, lol).

Another one is setting up the characters special talents before we actually hear them in cutie mark chronicles, like in boast busters and dog and pony show.

Kek, it's usually the other way around for me, I'm glad I could be the one to write down your own opinion better than you could.

As for your first question, I've got college soon and my mobile network blocks 4chan so I fear that this thread might die by the time I go home and answer your question, so I wouldn't mind if you link a discord username or something just in case this thread does before I get home.
