Hello, Season 8 Homework Assignments, this week’s comic is based on What Lies Beneath, GUYS THE TREE OF HARMONY CAN TALK! I don’t even care about anything else that happened in this episode! …Well, no, that’s not true. I did find it pretty interesting to look into some of the inner fears and doubts of the Student 6, deepinging their characters and seeing new sides to them. It actually reminds me of the comic I made about the students a couple months ago. But the big take away for me is the character development of the Tree of Harmony! Apparently it’s still growing and gaining new abilities over time, and can now talk and project complex illusions! Do you realize the implications of this!? The potential!? What kind of powers is this thing gonna have a few years down the line? A few centuries? What kinds of things can it tell us? The secrets of magic it must know! Maybe the tree can be more specific with its guidelines for friendship problems now rather than just making everyone guess through pictures on a map!
…Of course, we could also do to the tree what we did to Celestia and Luna and reduce this omnipotent being to our level with petty desires and lessened maturity. Honestly, I think I’d be okay with that. I need more Tree of Harmony character study in my life! I’m actually surprised I haven’t seen the fandom do too much with this concept yet, especially since this episode has technically been viewable for weeks now, but I’m looking forward to the kinds of doors this opens!
Hope you all recognize and accept the friendship that is in your nature! Looking forward to the next episode!

Exactly what I was thinking
I’m not so sure… something in the season 9 trailers I noticed gives me the impression that we haven’t seen the last of her…
Her body may have been destroyed, but I think it’s gonna take more than that to take Best Tree out of the picture entirely.
….your disturbing.

Later
Real twilight: hey starlight can you help with OH MY GOD!
Starlight has a large glowing crystal on her forehead wrapped around her horn, and her eyes are slightly glowing
Starlight: why yes twilight sparkle princess of friendship, what is it you need assistance with
Twilight :w-what is that thing on your head?
Starlight: oh, this, it’s just a pretty gem I found in the basement, I makes me feel so happy and peaceful, do you know where trixie is, I would like to give her one
Twilight: right…runs outta there
Starlight: I wonder why she ran off so suddenly
Trixie suddenly trots in
Trixie: starlight, trixie needs your help with a magic spell!
Starlight: of course Trixie, you are just the person I was was looking for, would you like a crystal horn hat
Edited
Or intentional karma for Starlight about everything
Maybe it has a grudge about Starlight and Trixie teleporting the Map away.
She’s very proud of her roots.
It wouldn’t because it was the one that allowed the time travel to happen in order to help her. The fact it took the scroll and got rid of it proves it could have done that at any time, but waited till they helped Starlight and recruit ed her.
