    Old Stories

    They say that everything old is new again. Sometimes that's true, I think.

    G5 - Where is Sunny's Mom?

    Where, indeed, is Sunny's mother? We see Argyle, her dad, and the movie very strongly implies he's dead -- or has been missing for years, presumed dead -- but there's no sign of her mother anywhere.

    Similarly, Sprout's mother Phyllis features prominently, but there's no sign of his father.

    Dune - go see it

    What the title says, basically. The new Dune movie is seriously good, and if you like Dune, or sweeping SF epics in general, you should go see it, preferably on the biggest screen you can. It's gorgeous! The movie follows the book much better than the Lynch film did, and lets the environment play a big role, as is fitting.

    Just in case it needs to be said:

    If you haven't already, go get vaccinated against Covid-19, ASAP. The vaccines are safe and they work.

    Do not try any of the purported "cures" like hydroxichloroquin or, sigh, ivermectin.

    In case it wasn't obvious yet...

    No, I do not want Nazis in this fandom.

    I don't want stories about cutesy Nazi OCs, who exist to give "ironic" cover to actual Nazis and racists, and to normalize Nazi presence in MLP fandom.

Three new Rainbow Rocks songs - and they are great! · 6:32am Apr 1st, 2015

This probably doesn't count as an April Fool's from Hasbro, but it's awesome: three new Rainbow Rocks music videos!

"Life's a Runway" -- Rarity

"Friendship Through the Ages" -- Mane Six & Sunset Shimmer

"My Past is Not Today" -- Sunset Shimmer

Both the songs and the videos are legit great. The last song, with Sunset decisively turning her back on her dark past and embracing a new life, is my favorite, but that is no indictment of other two.

In "Friendship Through the Ages", I love how each of the HuMane Six has their own scene with Sunset, with the song subtly shifting to match their personality -- and I love that Rarity's part is straight out of The Yellow Submarine animation!

Finally, the first one -- Rarity's "Life is a Runway" is a great summation of her philosophy of fashion: it's all about making the beauty inside to come outside. And that's what makes her the Best Pony (tm). :duck:

Can we just take a moment to consider that Sunset may have just ascended to phoenix-flavored alicornhood? Between the wings, the sunset-sunrise rebirth metaphor, and the hair, that seemed to be what they were going for.
I hope she keeps the jacket, though.

Also, Derpy in "Life is a Runway." Yes. All of my yes.

Yup! She's gonna be a aliphoenixcorn! :rainbowkiss:

And yes, Derpy!

Of course the really interesting bit is Sunset seems to have a new outfit in those clips. A blue dress, and boots and a jacket with a new design, the weird little arrow things linking them. The videos are listed as rainbow rocks, but might be more a leadup to the next movie.

Rarity's "Life is a Runway" is a great summation of her philosophy of fashion: it's all about making the beauty inside to come outside.

Not just a philosophy, it's her special talent!
