"He never listens to them
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round"
He knows that they're the fools
They don't like him
The fool on the hill
Sees the sun going down
And the eyes in his head
See the world spinning round"

Human Pinkie Pie: ...You're from an alternate world and you're a pony princess there and the crown actually has a magical element embedded in it that helps power up other magical elements and without it they don't work anymore, and you need them all to help protect your magical world, and if you don't get the crown tonight, you'll be stuck in this world and you won't be able to get back for like a really, really long time!

The worst part of dealing with one of the Transcendent is that they serve as testament to an uncomfortable truth – they were right. What a forensic psychologist might dismiss as delusion or psychosis is proven to be dark alchemy, a precise formula that gave them all their heart’s desires. Hunters who face down Transcendents carry with them tales of a man who took a shotgun blast to his bare chest and kept charging, a woman who could burn a man’s skin with just a touch, and a delusional prophet whose very words were honey.
