While Twilight does "parade around in dresses", it works here because it's presented in a negative light. And not just by Twilight's uncomfortable expression. This episode highlights how vapid, hollow and misdirected celebrity-induced fads really are. Imo they pulled it off really well. They celebrated Rarity's artistic talent as a designer while ALSO poking fun at people who use fashion exclusively as a way to show off their social status. FiM thoroughly impressed me again.
As soon as Rarity said "When I saw that she worked in all the finest boutiques in Canterlot" I immediately wondered why this pony went through so many jobs. Usually when you are good at something you stay in one place because they entice you to, This sounded like she was fired from every job she had.
I am SO glad I wasn't the only one who was made uncomfortable by the humor that "Nelly" seemed to imply in the episode. Also mwahahahahaha! Cameo... -ish.
Coincidentally, there's an artist I know on deviantArt who's done an art line called Rarity's Secret. And it's just as you'd expect it to be, as indicated by Shining Armor there.
Do you mean to tell me that the reason the second half of season 5 is late is because you were too busy completing your takeover and remodel of Castle of the Two Sisters? Silver, your elaborate trolling projects are getting out of hand.
Well that is certainly a suprise. A shout out to one of my videos, my first Review no less. Funny thing is, I just uploaded my Newbie Dash Review. In that video i briefly revisit Canterlot Boutique and i also joke about how bad the audio quality in my old reviews is :D Anyway great Review and thank you. I personaly think that was the best point i made in this video.
I adore your reviews. They were awesome back when you just a few still frames of character art, and just like the actual show, your style keeps expanding and improving. Never stop being you, super duper hugs!!!
Glad to see the latest in your remaining Season 5 After the Fact videos finally up, Silver Quill! Can't wait to see the rest, especially since you've got some breathing room coming up with the mid-season hiatus in June!!!
man, great to see another full episode review. i kind of wish i had more to add here, since it's a 15 minute video and all, but i guess it was just a fun video overall and i'm really glad to see these again!
That gag with Shining Armor looking at these...ehem....Cadence inspired underwear was hilarious. Makes me wonder why i delay watching these episodes sometimes
Ah Silver you always brighten my day! Don't ever lose that quirky humor and good outlook ya got going. Also huzzah for the return of After the Fact, Silver Quilted's a nice and fun little recap, but After the Facts' where ya dig in and deliver them punch lines and deep thoughts Thank you a again good Sir Quill I happily await your next review
I loved this episode so much and... as much as I DO love the old MLP songs I feel so much more emotion packed behind Rules of Rarity as a song. It feels like there's simply so much more character depth placed into it, I mean I get it, art of the dress is an incredible song but I feel like it gives initial perspective on who rarity truly is as a character being part of the first season, while ROR let's us see how the events of the episode affect the character we've grown to know an love. ROR shows us all of rarity's musings and thoughts, her ups and downs in a single song in a way that I love. Much of it is a matter of taste, but I just can never get enough of ROR.
To be fair, rarity only designed dresses based on CANTERLOT. Luna and Celestia live there, but Cadence is living in the crystal empire. And twilights dress isn't based on her, but rather her coronation stained glass IN CANTERLOT CASTLE. So it makes sense that Cadence was left out.
OMIGOSH!!! Okay first, I must say this: I have waited for over a year (That's when I found your channel) to get a youtube account. Here are a few reasons why I love your videos: 1 The way you make me laugh. 2 The way you explain how you feel about the episode while not making it to heavy. (You know what I mean right???) 3 The way you ended this video Those are just a few reasons why I love your videos. Oh and YOU'RE A HIPPOGRIFF!!! I LOVE HIPPOGRIFFS SO MUCH!!!
I'm glad to see you continuing the "After the Fact" series. Does this mean that Silver Quilted will be for Season 6 while "After the Fact" will complete Season 5?You and Dr. Wolf have been my favorite reviewers with your individually unique synopsis and presentations on each episode. Your collaborations have also been great. Keep up the epic work.
What's THIS?! They actually got someone to voice a character from the show as opposed to just using archival footage? AWESOMENESS!!! Also, anyone else think that apart from the Alicorn sisters, Sassy's horn looks way too long compared to most other unicorns?
You really did well with this review (as always). Mixing studious analytical reviews with perfect comedy. Speaking of comedy? THIS review has my favorite bit of it via "Rarity's Secret" and Shining Armor's whinny.
I LOVE YOUR HUMOR SO FREAKING MUCH!!!!!!!!! XDD FIRST CADENCE, THEN FASHION PLATE'S OBITUARY!!!!!!!!! XDDD ROLFL!!! (Rolling on the laughing floor, laughing. There's rofl, XD. Then there's rolf, XDD. Then you have Rolfl, which is so funny you die of asphyxiation.)
Personally, I'm glad the episode did not have a 'BOOM' moment with one of Rarity's or some other pony's exagerated outburst. It's a lot more accurate to reality. Art and creation rarely go down fighting with fanfare. Far more often, creative endeavors peter out like a campfire, quietly and with little notice until it's too late to start them back up; other times it can be like an old car - push it too hard and eventually it'll just give up the ghost, unable to continue and little more than a hunk of scrap and junk.
Silver, you may not read this as its a while since you made this video, but I need to say, I love your way you in a way interact with characters in the show without breaking the canon story. You,dr wolf, and a certaint rainbow Alicorn are my three favorit youtubers when it comes to MLP
Wow... I never thought of it that way... Rarity is so emotionally drained at that point that she can't even muster the effort for her trademark dramatics!
Sassy worked at "all the finest boutiques in Canterlot." Sassy didn't want to be part of "another failing business." Apparently, focusing entirely on pushing one single dress isn't a good business model after all.
Rarely happens a lot they think selling it the same will bring a lot of success it’s true but selling one item and JUST that item will be tiring not forget why rarity open that boutique to sell her creative dresses Rarity passion is to make different unique dresses has a seamstress they have alot of creativity and create it in dresses or something else creating a dress over and over again will loose sense of creativity and your passion at the same time
The lingerie being designed after the princess of love is probably the best head cannon I've ever heard!!! This needs to be a thing, like "Brony for you; Crystal hearts collection"
A lot of goals are being met lately. Twilight has become a mentor, Rarity is opening boutiques around Equestria, the Crusaders have gotten their cutie marks and Rainbow is now a Wonderbolt. Heck, even you have your castle. Hmm... Watch out for karmic backlash.
YAY!!!! IT'S BACK!!!! IT'S BAAAAAAACK!!!!!!! *cries out loud and hugs you* I LOVE YOU SO MUCH!!!!!! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to come off super creepy. Okay, maybe a little... Still, this was a great review, like always. I personally like After the Fact the most because it offers another perspective of an episode long after it airs.
Could we see a little more of your castle in future videos? It would be really interesting to see the interior and when subject about your home, you keep forgetting about it. Love to hear an answer.
I found the joke at the end of the episode to be the fact that they JUST got done with that and someone is still freaking out over it when other dresses are there. Might not be wording that right but I found it funny enough to make me chuckle a little.
Nicely done video, Silverquill! I love your work (just like how I love everybody in the brony anylasis group's work) and I can't wait to see more of your videos because they are awesome. I especially can't wait to see the eventual ATF: Crusaders of the lost Mark, that's my fave episode, oh and I loved the Doom flag. That was a great idea and good way to show how there will be the inevitable downfall, but wouldn't it be spoiling stuff??? Anyways, just saying that I love the flag idea and you are great at making videos.
‘Oh Nelly/Love yourself pony’ reminds me of my nephew because it’s hard getting clothes for him because he’s tall (about 7’3) and really, really skinny (he’s healthy he just has a high metabolism)
I've finally found it! The source! Now I know why I've been saying "Dude, you're at a ten. Imma need you to take it down to a six" for the last few years
8:50 I'm not entirely sure this is true in Equestria. After all, Rarity suggested in Ticket Master that she and Twilight wear identical outfits to the Grand Galloping Gala.

joshscorcher mentioned that in his review of this episode! ;)
No i think she quit because she saw a better opportunity
Could easily be one, the other, or both
I am SO glad I wasn't the only one who was made uncomfortable by the humor that "Nelly" seemed to imply in the episode.
Also mwahahahahaha! Cameo... -ish.
**Dies of erh-mah-gash-ification due to the fact that After the Fact is back and is more awesome than ever**
Nice to see the end "joke" addressed. I was waiting for the reaction to be no, "No, but we DO have something that would be perfect for you".
Silver Quill? Asking from someone to not over-hype?
That's a new

That's actually one of the best Pinke Pie voices I've heard come out of the fandom.
man, great to see another full episode review. i kind of wish i had more to add here, since it's a 15 minute video and all, but i guess it was just a fun video overall and i'm really glad to see these again!
Another wonderful review, as always. I love the balance you strike with After the Fact videos and Silver Quilted videos. Keep up the wonderful work! ♡
As a wise man named Ed once said, "Tisk, tisk. Do you know how long I have been waiting?"

your little scene with cadence and shining armor is hilarious. we all know what you showed her. PLEASE DO NOT STOP!!!!!! Your humor is too good!

YES! There's finally another one! It always makes me happy when you upload a video :)
2:05 That may very well be the single, greatest reference for C for Vendetta I have ever seen.
+Aussieroth7 +1 for finger slip.
To be fair, rarity only designed dresses based on CANTERLOT. Luna and Celestia live there, but Cadence is living in the crystal empire. And twilights dress isn't based on her, but rather her coronation stained glass IN CANTERLOT CASTLE. So it makes sense that Cadence was left out.

OMIGOSH!!! Okay first, I must say this: I have waited for over a year (That's when I found your channel) to get a youtube account. Here are a few reasons why I love your videos:

Omg yes Yes YES! Having a new 'After the Fact' to watch just made my freaking week!!!! All Hail Silver Quill! Long may he Review

It's more so puzzle solving. To influence all the variables to get the best possible result.
Oh lordy the part with Cadence and Shining killed me XD well played my good Griffon, well played!
Oh Silver. In absence of Drowning in Horseshoes you've risen up as most hilarious pony reviewer.
+The Great MC Don't forget TBBBAP.
This came out on my Birthday????
...Okay Silver. I will accept this video as my birthday present.
Whoa, someone made an SFM model for Silver Quill? Damn, that's some serious fan-love.
What's THIS?! They actually got someone to voice a character from the show as opposed to just using archival footage? AWESOMENESS!!!

Thank you Discord and never said it had to make sense, was more curious to see what funny comments people came up. Silver included.
Oh thank God! An Episode After the Fact!
BTW, nice skull for your castle.
That was the best Pinkie Pie cameo ever.
It's Fashion Plate that I always forget about, not Sassy Saddles.
Nice to see you get back to this series Silver! This was great and thanks for explaining "Nelly". Hahaha Misbunniswan was in this? Awesome hehe.
Your After the Fact videos are SO awesome! ^^
Wow... I never thought of it that way... Rarity is so emotionally drained at that point that she can't even muster the effort for her trademark dramatics!

He might need some gaurds though
Wait...Silver Quill doing an After The Fact on an episode?! The world is coming to an end!

My sister: maybe we did it wrong
Me: 6:50
I wish you best of luck at Everfree Northwest Silver Quill!
Did anyone else immediately want to give the 'Love yourself' pony a hug the first time they saw this episode?
4:40 I"m so glad I predicted this joke back when the episode first came out.
3:16 low and behold our new Princess of Exposition
Could you please make more videos like this? I'd love to see you work on more episodes an what your thoughts are
I've finally found it! The source! Now I know why I've been saying "Dude, you're at a ten. Imma need you to take it down to a six" for the last few years
Awwwww, I thought Fashion Plate would fade from existence!
"erh-mah-gash-ification" I think I am in a big danger of that since the Pokémon Sun and Moon trailer yesterday :D SO MUCH HYPE
Here's a drinking game, take a shot everytime Silver Quill says "CONTINUITY!"
8:50 I'm not entirely sure this is true in Equestria. After all, Rarity suggested in Ticket Master that she and Twilight wear identical outfits to the Grand Galloping Gala.
The "YES" in the end of the video killed me xD
Beneath this mask there is more than Pinkie Pie...
Beneath this mask there is a reference Mr. Quill...
And, references are bulletproof.
You see this? This is my DOOM FLAG!
Good episode, nice review and Pinkie Pie? Unguarded! Thrust, Parry, Lunge!
That PSA at the end was hilarious XD
I like your new castle. I wonder what Twilight & company, as well as the royal sisters will think? Hope we get to see more of your new homestead soon.
that bit with cadance and shiny and the magazine, comedy gold XD
