    Back here, for the last time maybe

    I didn't even know if this account even existed anymore, but at least I wanted to thank my subscribers, few as they are. If you guys are still around, I love you. Writing was a coping mechanism for me that slowly became a sort of job and it was thanks to you. I loved the show for what it was, despised the finale (sorry guys), but I loved the community for what it was. Once again, thank you for

    Hello from the other side

    Worry not, I'm not dead. Just sleeping. So, I heard just now the show is coming back in April and...I don't care about it. Yeah, Season Six while it had a few good episodes it kinda burned me out on the show. I'll keep writing (Something, maybe) but I don't think I will follow it. Many, many writers I follow are of the same sentiment and while I may hear something interesting happening in the

    Because that means tempting fate and 2016 isn't over yet.

    *Taps on mic* Is this thing on?

    I'm not dead, guys. I'm just slumbering. Kinda like Cthulhu but prettier. I'm so absorbed by FFXV that I lsot track of time. Anyways, let us talk about things: First of all, two new fics coming. Yay! Second of all, working on my doctorate thesis! Double yay! Third of all, I've started a campaign to gather funds in my hometown for a shelter for LGBT people because, and don't worry I won't get

Every Little Thing She Does Review and Spoilers · 4:10pm Sep 24th, 2016

Starlight Glimmer's Lesson Zero. One of my main complaints about Starlight was the fact she seemed too good at thing. Twilight showed an impressive growth for the first three seasons and we accept that. We know were she comes from and we enjoy when she succeds and we are sad when she screws up. Starlight didn't have that so it seemed a little "Mary Sue-Ish" and this episode was somewhat redeeming on this front. But not by much. First of all, we get it: She's a dork like Twilgiht was at the beginning except with much more magical power so it was nothing new that she would resort to magic to deal with simple things. Sure, her fear about screwing up was relatable but if there was one thing of the many I enjoyed from The Cutie Remark. The final montage of her hanging out with the girls, without words expect for the final song, was a perfect way of showing her bonding with the Mane Six. So, of course, we have to reverse that character development for the sake of drama. With painfully generic activities I'd have to add but the point was spending them with them to see what they loved (Although, Rainbow Dash chillaxes and that's it?) so I can let it slide. On the other hand, the comedy was good. It escalated quickly but without feeling forced, played well with the traits of the characters and exagerated them without missing a beat. Reference based humour makes a comeback and Applejack just gained a lot of best pony creds. While I don't like it completely, I can say to be reasonably satisfied with the episode but it feels painfully like filler, expecially with the upcoming Starlight focused finale which will address my problems with character development. Hopefully. See ya next week for Legend of The Everfree which I don't know I'm going to watch because, well, it coincides with my birthday. :pinkiehappy:
