>>12021 >>12022 >Rarity mentions that the robes she’s making are due in Trottingham tomorrow morning, so Trottingham must be fairly nearby, even if it’s going by train or Pegasus. I believe it maybe possible for Trottingham to be far away but an episode in Season 2 is where I can best illustrate this theory. Unless I see something that brings it up to the forefront beforehand, I'll wait till there.
>And it SOUNDS like Rarity even uses the British pronunciation of the -ham suffix, though it was kind of hard to tell even on replay whether she says “Trotting-UM” or “Trotting-HAM” Nice catch. Are you familiar with a Transatlantic/Mid Atlantic Accent? That is what I usually see fans put Rarity's accent as. Think an old Hollywood ascent. It can have a lot of features of British accent. I though their was an official source that confirmed this but I think all I see on a cursory search is fandom discussion and the wiki, which links to a video that I don't have time to watch through right now.
>The very presence of the Cockatrice in this episode gives me fond memories of a book my mother read to me when I was little, The Talking Parcel, in which the chief villains are the Cockatrices. That looks like a neat book.
>then there must be an element of the Cockatrice’s stare that forces it’s victims to make eye contact, because I cannot imagine Twilight being unable to figure out what was going on, My explanation was her being caught off guard and inexperienced but I think that inference is equally valid.
