    It's the obligatory new year blog post.

    And yes, I am posting this at around midnight on new year. I have a nasty cold, so I decided to disobey nurgle's one command and stay home.

    Just for kicks

    I'm mucking around with Lulu for a work-related project (very boring stuff) and thought I would do a quality test with something fun.

    Oh shit, words

    Or maybe that comma is in the wrong place. I haven't decided yet.

    The odd things

    I've just been reading through old comments on my scraps story, after publishing yet another chunk from the ancient cutting room floor. It's remarkable how many of the commenters are still around - but also how many logged off for the last time, soon after making their last comment there.

    But in brighter news

    While I'm not making any promises about any particular project here, I am actually writing again. I figure if I write enough of something, some pony words might drop out somewhere along the line as well. You never know. What I'm working on at the moment is essentially a re-write of a story I read a long time ago; an old pulp sci-fi tale, about a spaceship that manages to get lost in the

Calling it now (probably spoilers of some sort) · 11:32am Apr 5th, 2014

So, while I was asleep, the synopsis for the season 4 finale were released.

I read Equestria Daily's announcement and was immediately struck by something.

Here it is:

Twilight's Kingdom - Part 1
Air Date: May 10th
Synopsis: Princess Celestia chooses Discord over Princess Twilight to help track down a villain.

Twilight's Kingdom - Part 2
Air Date: May 10th
Synopsis: The other princesses transfer all of their magical power to Twilight in hopes of saving Equestria.

The content... more specifically the lack of a certain phrase. "Rainbow Power". I've been arguing on and off for most of the time since the announcement of the Rainbow Power toyline that they were not going to appear on the show in that form. From the style choices alone it seems more closely linked to the Rainbow Rocks movie than to FiM - you can see the resemblance in the promos especially, with the EqG mane six all dolled up in rainbow-power-style makeup and clothing. The RP toyline included characters who we know are never going to make another appearance, or at least who we assume will not... and in fact the inclusion of other semi-regular background characters in the line kind of blows apart the idea that it's going to be a show event, whilst bolstering the links to Rainbow Rocks, in which many of the background characters appear with all the same glam-rock pizazzle as the Rainbow Power toys.

So, yeah, calling it: no Rainbow Power in the show.

... and now I've said that I'm almost certainly wrong. But if I'm right, just make a note that I said it now.

This begs the question: what, then, is the "keys to the Lockbox of Harmony" plot leading up to?

(Also, how do you designate where to put the "Read More" cutoff?)

1983238 You use [ page_break ] without the spaces.

I haven't a clue about the keys thing, though what I'd like would be some sort of alicorn transformation thing. In all likelihood it'll be the thing that proves me wrong.

I don't think there will be any more alicorns. I wish there would be (along with at least one CMC getting her cutie mark this season), but I really doubt it. And this talk reminded me that I should get off my ass some day and actually start writing that accidental alicorn Trixie idea that keeps going through my head. Ugh.:derpyderp1:

And I disagree with you about there being no Rainbow Power in FiM. There's been way too many hints, images and toys (including the McDonalds ones) that suggest this is what the finale is leading to. Well, it's only about a month away so I guess we'll find out.

doesn't work in the Preview thing for the comment. I'm guessing it's only for in the blog, eh?


I guess that'd make sense, lol
