I'm the writer, obviously, but I'm still kind of amused by the character growth of the other players referring to Twilight as a scheming derailer and Twilight not even batting an eye at that, nor anyone else.

DM: The changeling swarm that was chasing you is now flanking your group from behind.
Pinkie Pie: Clowns to the left of me, jokers to the right?
Rarity: Well, this is a fine pickle.
Applejack: Twilight, if you've got an insane derail plan, now would be a good time to try it.
Rainbow Dash: Yeah, kinda used up a lot of healing surges last time…
Twilight Sparkle: Hmmm… How are you two doing?
Princess Cadance: Huh? Us?
Twilight Sparkle: Yeah. We had that long combat and everything…
Princess Cadance: Oh, we're just fine. This is your game. We're enjoying ourselves watching it unfold.
Shining Armor: Yeah! Watching a game with your character's fate on the line is kinda fun! In a tense and dramatic way. I guess this is what it's like being an NPC relying on adventurers, huh? Can't wait to see how you all get out of this one!
Twilight Sparkle: Still… Hmmm. Alright, I think I've got a plan. Kind of a crazy one. Are you all with me?
Rarity: As ever, Twilight.
Pinkie Pie: Do your thing!
Twilight Sparkle: Okay then. We surrender.
DM: W-Whaaaaaat?
