Firstly, in case you missed it, you might want to check out Go, Emps! It's the latest Oversaturated World story in both the Doylist and Watsonian reference frames, and wonder of wonders, it actually involves a straight ship. (In this fandom! In this continuity! I'm as surprised as you. )
Now, on to the reason for this blog's title. The next five FiCGs will be the back half of Legends of Magic, the upcoming Equestria Girls special, and the Season 9 premiere, so I'm not going to get to this any time soon, but I still want to point it out:
This is JVJ-24601, Micro Chips's "pet" from the latest EqG short. Fairly typical Star Wars-esque robot designation, right?
Not exactly.
That's right. That toaster robot was a freaking Les Mis reference. Well played, Katie Chilson. Well played
I didn't catch that reference when it was spoken, but when it's written? Well of course!
That's pretty sweet.
Hahahahhaaa 24601. Awesome.
fucking really o.o
Bizarre Coincidence time: On Tuesday, Jeopardy! wrapped up a big tournament, and the third-place team had a score of $24,601.
Niiiiice
I just watched that and I can't believe I didn't catch it while watching
Also note that the robot is a toaster and Jean Valjean was in prison for stealing bread.
