    Remembering Koji Wada

    Like every year, I like to remember the man/legend responsible for the theme songs of one of my favorite shows of all time on the anniversary of his death.

    So if you were wondering about the timing for the latest Isekai chapters? There you go.

    Welp, here's a life update

    These last couple of weeks have been a bit of a rollercoaster. Good things have happened, and also bad ones. No wonder I could relate to both Furina and Navia in the latest Isekai chapter. Sometimes pretending things are fine is really exhausting, even if they do get better.

    Welp, another year older and...

    ...still writing ponies. (Among other things, granted.)

    Update to the Isekai coming tonight! And some additional details and change of plans.

    First, to everyone waiting patiently for the next Isekai chapter, I apologize for the delay. I know there are a lot of people that want to see another visit to Hell happen soon, and it will, I promise. However, due to some circumstances, I decided for a different pair of visitors to visit the bar this week.

    Boost Reminder!

    As discussed not too long ago, local legend and friend Skeeter The Lurker suffered some devastating losses that impaired his ability to work and live. We've all done well to get him close to achieving his objective, but he's still a bit short! Just saying, that if 10% of all of you awesome people that follow me donated a dollar

A Hearth's Warming Tail · 6:10pm May 14th, 2016

No real spoilers here. Most other people have already covered those, but I did really enjoy this new episode! Well done show writers! I especially liked GothLunaSpirit's song. It was the awesomest. Additionally, it looks like Spike is over his crush on Rarity, which in my book is a bonus: he didn't even glance her way AT ALL. Well done, Spike!

The take-away from this episode is that Hearths Warming is a collective magical ritual that prevents the entire world from being destroyed.

Kind of like the Crystal Faire, but on a larger scale.

That, or the spell would've undone the event that the holiday celebrates. Or it's the principle of "Those who forget history are doomed to repeat it," and without Hearth's Warming, the tribes would've gone to war against one another again afterwards.

Sheesh. Even when she's a especially fictional character, Starlight's still messing with time.

3944162 I like it! I can imagine Celestia making it look like a festivity and centuries of planning and reinforcement going into it to give it the strength it needs.

I hate the spoiler tag on my phone. It's basically impossible to read them. Never friggin works right.

3944162 Or her little project was going to destroy the holiday by birthing uber-Windigos. And aren't most religious holidays collective rituals, and in the overclocked magical land of Equestria, collectively magical rituals? This is a place where the canning of apple jam involves more numinosity and ritual than a Russian Orthodox mass.

Oh shit, there's a new episode.

What OS/Browser? I've tried Chrome and Dolphin on Android and they work just fine by tapping anywhere in the spoiler (as if they leave an invisible cursor wherever you last tapped), though Chrome also likes to highlight whatever word you tapped on.

3944261 I have the same issue on my iphone, using chrome. Can't get it fixed no matter what I try.

Man, the show animators have really stepped up their game! This season is turning out great so far.

All I have to say is God bless you Daniel Ingram, God bless you every day.

3944281 Copy the text from the blog, go to your Notes, paste it in a new Note. Viola.

3944367 Already do that.

3944184 3944162 So do ponies always build their cities in locations where they'll freeze to death if their magical protection fails?

3944473 If not for the ponies constantly hugging one another, the world would be in a perpetual ice-age.

3944473 It's magical pony land. Snow doesn't melt without earth pony intervention, the heavens don't move but by unicorn ritual, water doesn't cycle into the sky without pegasus-driven waterspouts. Windigos'll get you on a tropical beach in August if the bad moods align.

I still like my idea of Heath's warming...

3944493 But dragons don't need friends, because they can breathe fire!

3944162 Is it bad that the moral I took from this was "this is why we don't work with chemicals without a fume hood". Mystical potions can send you on seriously bad trips.

My Little Laboratory Conduct: PPE is Magic

The episode did have its fair share of meh moments and fluffy moments. I'm glad Spike moved on.
