State of the Lemur - 06/05/2015 · 8:45pm Jun 5th, 2015
So it's the first Friday of June. Do you know where your Lemur's brain is at?
Ehhh... yeah, that's about right.
So, about two months ago, my birthday happened... which is right around the time that I start acting like a douchebag. Granted, I'm a douchebag all year long, but something about the month of April sort of Lebron James the douchebaggery into triple overtime.
And, alas, like a douchebag, I failed to mention a supremely awesome thing that was done for me by a collective bunch of selfless marsupials. My only excuse is that I've been bragging enough about the sort of stuff that people draw/procure/enslave for me, so why add to the pile?
That's okay, zebra, my camera phone's terrible
It would so happen that Swan Song, Razgriz, Pilate, and Ponky all conspired to send me a Fed Ex bucket of birthday bounty. In case my scarce inclusion of hairy limb-snippets isn't enough of an indication, I'm not particularly fond of sharing my likeness or personal information across the Interwebs... even with people whom I pretend to know and trust. Thus, the conniving quartet performed a veritable GTA V heist, combining all of their powers and talents to tickle this marsupial's pony gland.
First, Raz and Swan Song infiltrated a local Pony Con. Next, Ponky supplied the lemur's home address. Last but not least, the fecking zebra delivered the package. Hadoukken: instant horse delivery sans the Falkner-esque gore and spaghettios. And since you're all dying of acute curiosity herpes (conspiramydia?), here are the contents of said bro-fist missile:
F'naaaaa. Anorexic humanoid yellow!pone... because someone somewhere caught wind of the fact that a certain lemur specifically finds the EqG Fluttershy to be criminally insanely hawt. I mean, just look at that. Er... wait, no. I mean that. Yeah, that's better. Jaundice Princess ftw. (I'll just have to turn the dayum box around so that the artwork is out-facing).
Kewl. Check it. A Disney Princess Pony Poster, and a snazzy signed art print by Braeburned that miraculously won't get me in trouble with Florida Anti-Sodomy Laws. If my room could contain any more appledash it'd suck the freckles right off of every newborn ginger kid from Georgia to the Yucatan Peninsula.
Last but not least... Oh look. Double Twilight with Tara Strong's autograph. That's snazzier than snazzy. The ironic thing is that it's not the first time I've come into close contact with the handwritten scrawl of she-who-would-be-Rikku. The first occasion happened at Megacon '13 when I was friggin' asked by this dude to sign my name on a t-shirt that already had her name on it, along with a bunch of other legitimately horse-famous souls. Hory shiet... then and now, I'm simply not worthy.
This, of course, means that I now have two nifty autographs to grace my wall. The other belongs to Jerry the King Lawler. The King and Tara Strong, together at last. Almost makes you wonder what would happen if they were in the same room together. Actually, I think Tara would enter the room, dancing, butt first. And then Jerry would go "PUPPIES" before open-palm-slapping her to the concrete. But hey, that's entertainment.
Where was I...?
Oh yes. So, like, awesome dudes doing awesome things for mesa. There seems to be a pattern here... a pattern I don't deserve. Whatever the case, let it be known that these are mofos of the highest mofo caliber, and that I'm tickled pink to know them... inside the jury and out. Even if all four of them could stand to eat more.
That's right. You heard me.
So, last Saturday, we had a truly amazing episode, and I think it's high time that I...
Wait... there wasn't an episode last week? Then why are there so many Nietzsche dayum gifs and screencaps of the thang? Ohhhhhhhhhh. It's all teaser stuff. Well, phwumples.
I told the inner lemur going into this season that I'd not spoil myself with the contents of the upcoming episodes. But, alas... I gave into hypocrisy for this one occasion. Perhaps the divine powers that be will forgive me... cuz it's the friggin' 100th episode, maaaaaaan.
Granted, it's far more than that. Fans, I'm sure, have been looking forward to this installment for eons. It does, however, carry a particular weight for fanficcers--or fanfic writers, to be more exact.
Will there be canon-destroying revelations? Oh, most definitely. But--as with every awesome episode--there's bound to be oodles and oodles of more material to work with. As one can guess, I'm most excited to see (and hopefully hear) a particular mint green pony deliver a monologue or two. But I don't think I can ask for much. After all, the previews have made it clear that Octavia and Vinyl are bound to dominate the limelight. The other 18-odd minutes of this episode can't possibly be that awesome... can they?
Hmmmm...
This show's done awesome stuff for us fans before, and the makers of it seem prepared to deliver yet again. While certain commenters might have a valid point on how anti-Faustian the overall theme and narrative of the series has become, I'm not all too bothered. Then again, as if it wasn't already obvious, I'm an easy lemur to please, and I await this installment with baited breath, hugging the Fimfic "AU" Tag close to my hairy navel.
Very... very easy to please... f'naaaaa... isn't there a pony site somewhere around here?

I demand proof of this!
Episode 100 already. Truly amazing how far this show's come!

I find myself strangely saddened that I was unable to send you anything for your birthday.
It was your birthday? Nifty.
Happy belated birthday, dude.

One can only hope they make room for her. I hope she gets a singing part.

Well.
All those lovely presents. Oh, and happy belated birthday, fuzzbutt.

The hype for the 100th episode is way too real.
Now imagine if they stuck a gray hoodie on said mint green pone and had her speak a few lines.
F'naaaa.
Derpy speaks. They could nuke Ponyville and I wouldn't mind too much.
3125942 Octavia too.

I always knew they'd eventually give Octavia a British accent, I just wish it was less of a "Pip pip cheerio, my good sir!" kind of accent and more of a "U 'AVIN A GIGGLE M8? I'LL FOOKIN REK YA, SWEAR ON MEM MUM." kind.
Some teaser gifs? Well, I suppose one peek wouldn't hurt...
*Sneaky Peek*
FUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUUU

Personally, I'm not big on the background characters, but the episode should still be nice and fun. At least I'll get any of the fan-related references.
I'm an April baby too, and I tend to feel the same around my birthday, if not all month along (doesn't help that mine is towards the end of it). Perhaps it is something about the month April that just plucks and scratches at the nerves.
Nonetheless, Happy Belated Birthday!
I hope we have a certain YEAH! shouting pegasus in the episode. To stay away from Fluttershy and keep Cheerilee away from Big McIntosh.
Damn perfectly adorable shippings that make me doubt my years-old OTP.I should draw you something, as I didn't know about your birthday, and can't send anything from Mangoland. Do you have enough Sofia among your princess stuff?
