When rarity said "look at her, cloud busting in style" it was a reference to earlier generation when "rainbow always dresses in style". One more episode and then the finale.
@Sir Yin Of Meowalot I remember gen 3 rainbow dash. It was strange to see the gen 4 version of her when this first came out but the new version grew on me
18:24 "You swallowed an entire book. That book had spikes on-- no wait, she changed it." And for Spike's sake, let's hope it didn't change back after he broke the spell's hold on Rarity.
I did consider this too but Twilight said all the other dark magic had to be undone with the other princesses etc. So presumably changes remain until reverted.
This episode along with Secret Of My Excess are metaphors of drug addictions. In Secret Of My Excess, we saw that the more stuff Spike got from others, the more he became greedy, selfish, aggressive, and his physical appearance changed (I watched a video from a YouTuber indicating how some episodes were metaphors of real issues that people face on a daily basis and even mentioned how the blue gems from the cupcake that Spike got from Sugarcube Corner resembled Blue Methamphetamine, which is a dangerous drug that causes someone to be extremely addictive to something). In this episode, we saw how Rarity was depressed and discouraged because she thought that she wasn't doing her best so after being under the spell from the book, she wanted to keep the book because she thought it would help her to get better in creating new things but the more she kept it, the worse she would get, causing her to become more obsessed in making everything perfect and beautiful and her eyes changed to green. Also, the fact that Spike and Rarity are the main characters of both episodes and the similarity of the situations that they experienced, this episode seems to be a full circle moment. After being there for Spike when he became greedy and wanting more and more stuff from others, Rarity goes through a similar situation and seeing how she's affected by the magic from the book, Spike decides to help her get back into her senses the same way that Rarity helped him in Secret Of My Excess, which it translates to being someone who overcame an addiction and after realizing that the person that helped you is going through the same situation, you decide to return the favor by helping that person overcome that addiction the same way that that person helped you. Without a doubt, these lessons, along with many metaphors that we find throughout the years are what makes this show realistic and relatable.
I think you can make that metaphor work well, but I doubt it ever crossed the minds of the writers. it reminds of the theory that Spirited Away is a metaphor for a brothel, which Miyazaki has come out and said is absolutely wrong and has nothing to do with the story.
3:37 "Castle of the Two Sisters... You just come out in the middle of the Everfree Forest and do this?" I guess Spike's figured out that he has nothing to fear from timberwolves with that fiery breath of his. :)
"It's time for season 4, episode 23, Inspiration Manifestation! That's a very fun-to-say name, very pleasing on the tongue." Just like the pony it's about. ;)
Brainwashed Rarity is so relatable for me. As a guy who is always using his creativity to improve previous designs on everything, I often see the world's appearance unappealing.
I remember that one time, I saw my classmate's phone case, I stared at it. When he asked me what was happening, I admitted that I was trying to see how it would look with some chromed edges and fake diamonds. At home, I watch many tutorials on DIY crafts, then do them myself in an attempt to improve it. This also, however, put up tensions with group projects. One time, I intentionally gave me and my group an F on an project because they hated my ideas, and shamelessly insulted them for being plain. Another time, I rudely body shamed a car because it was a Toyota, claiming that a little kid with some experience on 3d modeling could make something better than the car's shape. While I was never a fan or Rarity's strict personality, I have seen her relatable way too many times. I swear, if that book ended up in my hands, Discord's reign would look like Utopia compared to my vision.
For what it’s worth (not much probably since this is a late comment and I can just watch the next episode reaction right now) I think you made he right decision to wait till you got rest and had free time to watch the next episode and finale.

Pretty hilarious how Owlowiscious played the straight man and the voice of reason without even having to say anything.
