The Vinyl Scratch Tapes/Heartwarming
Vinyl: Because you made it for me! |
- Princess Luna listening to and visiting Blueblood's radio show, not because it's any good, but because he's her nephew. And she too knows the pain of having everypony hate you.
- Season 1 Episode 2 is chock full of these:
- When Spitfire tells Octavia why Vinyl is her best friend:
Spitfire: Well, eventually I had to leave for Flight School. We were both still pretty young at the time. Neither one of us had our Cutie Marks. When I told Vinyl I was moving, she didn't say anything. She acted like it didn't bother her at all. Tried to play it cool, I guess. So I ended up going to Cloudsdale to learn to fly. After I was there for a couple months, I got a letter from my parents saying Vinyl was in the hospital. I immediately freaked out and flew home. |
- Octavia received a ton of appreciative fan letters after the episode. They still adorn the studio walls.
- Vinyl framed the picture she took of her, Octavia, and Spitfire. She keeps it on her desk so that she can look at it every day.
- Season 2, Episode 3 is very heartwarming, especially Princess Luna's You Are Not Alone speech to her nephew Blueblood.
- Almost all of Season 2, Episode 4. Octavia gathers all of Vinyl's friends--and even Celestina and Luna--to bring her out of her Heroic BSOD. And then there's the end of the chapter, which hints that Blueblood (who was about to start yet another Evil Plan) has had a Heel Realization and is about to do a Heel Face Turn.
- Trixie willing to stand up for Blueblood and call out everyone else's hypocrisy.
