    Where Are All the Sorcerers in MLP?

    Some of you might be tempted to answer this question, “There’s tons of sorcerers in MLP! Look at Sunset Shimmer and Starlight Glimmer, for instance. They are (were) evil and they use powerful magic.”

    The Bowsette Controversy

    Not since Donald Trump has a singular figure polarized so many people against each other. Thank god she (he?) isn't real, or else the poor thing would receive death threats. I'm of course speaking of Bowsette, the Bowser-Peach hybrid which somehow exists. She's come to kidnap herself.

Riff of the Leaked Season Finale Pt 1 · 3:55am Oct 8th, 2017

So, looks like some careless writers Russian hackers have revealed the scripts for the season finale, plus Faust's original show bible. If true, this would represent one of the biggest breaches of corporate secrecy since those Sony movies that nobody gave a shit about were hacked by North Korea. Well, then I guess there was also Target losing all of their customers' credit card information... but who cares! Ponies are much more important!

Looks like Fillydelphia was supposed to play a much bigger role in the show.

Ponies from neighboring towns and cities visit to shop for fresh fruit and vegetables, unique merchandise and to witness special events at the Fillydelphia Stable Center Sports Arena and Show Ring.

This SUNDAY SUNDAY SUNDAY! At the Fillydelphia Stable Center Sports Arena! Witness the riffing of the season finale by me, CartsBeforeHorses, before it's even out! And watch the show's last vestiges of honor TUMBLE DOWN!

SC 1 - FADE UP ON AN ANCIENT book

"Up on" huh? Off to a great start already!

Starswirl (V.O.)

The best elements within us can spread light and virtue, and I know ponies who represent them all: strength, bravery, healing, beauty, hope, and sorcery.

Also smithing, woodcutting, and accounting. They don't mention those guys, though.

stARSWIRL (V.O.)

Myself, and these Pillars of Equestria were gathered together by another to maintain and share the light of these powerful ideals...

StARSWIRL (V.O.)

But we soon came to believe the pony who brought us together, only wanted that power for himself.

And your little dog, too!

STARSWIRL (V.O.)

Cast out and alone, this power-mad pony turned to darkness to satisfy his thirst.

starSWIRL (V.O.)

Transformed into a Pony of Shadows, he returned for revenge - to extinguish the Pillars' light and rob the world of hope.

Wait, Pony of Shadows? Is this like Sombra, or is it another badly-designed OC?

StARSWIRL (v.O.)

To stop him, the Pillars and I must make a grave sacrifice.

StaRSWIRL

StArSwIrL!!11!!1one!!

But we shall leave behind a seed in hopes that one day it will grow into a force to stand against the darkness for all time.

StARSWIRL (CONT'D)

We must now face the fiend with the only plan we have...

Sc 2 - Int. Canterlot castle - throne room - day

SUNBURST

"...I only hope it will be enough."

SuNBURST (CONT'D)

That's the last entry. And maybe Starswirl's final words before he vanished.

Not quite. His last words were actually, "Hey nurse, could you empty my bedpan?"

END TEASER

MAIN TITLES

ACT ONE

Sc 3 - Int. Canterlot castle - throne room - resUME

I sure wouldn't include this on MY resume if I were the writer. This cat fails basic English comp hardcore, yo.

Celestia

I've always wondered what happened to Starswirl. This is quite a discovery, Sunburst.

TwiLIGHT

So it's genuine? You can verify that this journal really belonged to Starswirl the Bearded!?

"So this leak is genuine? You can verify that some careless writer set his password to "password?"

LuNA

Indeed. From the looks of it, the last thing he wrote before facing the Pony of Shadows.

RaINBOW DASH

Uh... So, the Pony of Shadows was really real?

CelESTIA

It appears so.

LuNA

We never met the other Pillars, and we were too young to understand the danger they faced.

You know, unlike our target demographic of eight year old girls who can immediately tell that "dark pony = bad pony."

ApPLEJACK

Hold on. All those legendary ponies were real too? And they went off with Starswirl to face the Pony of Shadows and then none of them were ever heard from again?

Sorry Applejack, I can't hear you through your thick country accent and southernisms.

PinKIE PIE

Ah... yeah. Weren't you listening?

FlUTTERSHY

But what happened to them all?

"I get dialogue, too!"

RarITY

They must have defeated the villain, since Equestria is still full of light and hope.

"Light and hope is the new black, you know."

stARLIGHT

But how? And where did they go?

CelESTIA

My Olde Ponish

sigh

is a bit rusty, but I wonder if the answers can be found somewhere within the pages of this book.

TWILIGHT

Well, I just happened to be an expert in Olde Ponish. I mean, I've practically memorized every ancient text about Starswirl there is...

So wait. Celestia, who lived for thousands of years, doesn't remember how to speak a language she would've had to be conversant in, but TWILIGHT knows it? MARY SUE ALERT!

SpIKE

Seriously. All of them.

She binge-read them all on Hoofflix and made me listen.

LuNA

We have fond memories of our old teacher. If you could discover what happened to him, we would be most grateful.

SUNBURST

Solving a thousand-year-old mystery could take forever! Think of the research, the re-reading, the re-re-reading...

And what if the Ancient Aliens were involved, then we have to call in the History Channel...

CelESTIA

You might find you need help.

ApPLEJACK

Luckily, she's got a whole bushel of helpers right here.

RaINBOW DASH

Totally! Um... how long will all this research take, exactly?

As if Rainbow Dash would honestly be doing any of it.

TWILIGHT

Let's get this back to my library. I'm sure we'll figure out what happened in no time.

Sc 4 - Int. TwILIGHT'S CASTLE – library - night

SpIKE

Figure it out yet, Twilight?

"Are we there yet? Are we there yet?"

SuNBURST

Wha-WHAT? What did you figure out?

PinKIE PIE

You figured something out?

FluTTERSHY

What is it?

TELL US GOD DAMMIT!!!

TwILIGHT

Nothing. I mean, Starswirl was a genius, obviously, but forget Olde Ponish. There's parts where his hornwriting is like another language!

Hey, at least he wasn't an earth pony. Their mouthwriting is nearly illegible.

apPLEJACK

Twilight, we've been studyin', and referencin', and cross referencing for three days straight now.

"Can we PLEASE take a break already?

RainBOW DASH

Ugh. I haven't spent this much time reading since the last Daring Do book came out.

Take a look, it's in a book, it's reading Rainbow!

RarITY

Perhaps it is time to take a break. This mystery is over a thousand years old, after all. Another day or two won't make a difference!

Seriously. It wasn't like the story established a sense of urgency here. Don't Twilight's friends all have jobs and stuff they need to get to? Sweetie Belle has been trapped in a ball of thread at Carousel Boutique for three days now!

TWILIGHT

Two days?! I don't want to waste two seconds. I'm close to an answer. I can feel it.

StaRLIGHT

"Hearg sylfum se Ponhenge," What's that?

Sounds like Welsh. Those guys were short a few vowels, too.

TwILIGHT

The Temple of Ponhenge?! You can read that?!

"Yeah, I studied Old Ponish during my time in Town Brainwashing School!"

STARLIGHT

The hornwriting's pretty sloppy, but it's nowhere near as bad as mine. "Toward dol grimlic of fola firgenbeorg?"

SuNBURST

At the base of Foal Mountain...

STARLIGHT

"User endemest scield..."

Zieg heil!

TwILIGHT

Our last stand.

Spike
God, could they at least be consistent in capitalizing names? This is confusing. It looks like Twilight said, "Spike."

Well, that sure sounds like a clue to me.

Sc 5 - est. foal mountain - Ponhenge - night

Sc 6 - Ext. Ponhenge - night

TwILIGHT

This is it. Ponhenge. I can't believe it.

Ponhenge? Don't you mean, Ancient PonianHenge?

sunBURST

I've never seen magical runes like these before. Have you?

RaiNBOW DASH

I don't think anypony's seen any of this for a long time.

"You know, except for the thousands of tourists who visit every year."

ApPLEJACK

It'd take a whole team of ponies to clear away all this brush.

I smell a montage coming!

FluTTERSHY

Even then, I'm not sure we'd find out what happened here a thousand years ago.

TWILIGHT

You're right. I suppose it was a long shot.

A long shot, just like Las Pegasus... what, too soon?

SpIKE

Cheer up, Twilight. Finding a whole set of ancient ruins is pretty impressive. Maybe you could write a paper on it!

"And you could write it in Old Ponish to further limit its appeal!"

TWILIGHT

I guess I hoped we'd get here and the mystery would just magically be explained.

I was sure hoping that this plot would be magically explained, but my hopes were let down too.

SPIKE

Ah... Twilight?

TWILIGHT

Starswirl!? I-- I've wanted to meet you my whole life. I can't believe you're here--

SuNBURST

I don't think he is here. I don't think any of them are.

"It's only the Ponirror of Ponerised, Harry Poner."

Pony of shadows

You summon me at your peril, Starswirl. Once I defeat all of you, this realm will embrace the darkness as I did so long ago.

Now excuse me while I go gather my equally badass and dark, edgy ally, Shadow the Hedgehog!

PONY OF SHADOWS (CONT'D)

Drawing me here will only make me stronger. You will never defeat me!

You heard him, animators! Quit drawing him here!

StaRSWIRL

We did not come here to defeat you...

PONY OF SHADOWS

What are you doing?!

STARSWIRL

We came to contain you.

This episode of Game of Pones is really engaging.

PinKIE PIE

Well, you did ask for a magical explanation.

END ACT ONE

ACT TWO

Sc 7 - Ext. Ponhenge - resume

RainBOW DASH

Uh... What just happened?

starLIGHT

It looked like Starswirl cast a spell that banished the Pony of Shadows.

SuNBURST

Of course! Powerful magic like that would leave an impression on this place.

Magic confirmed for radiation. Ponehenge confirmed for Chernobyl.

Bringing the book back here let us see what happened.

ApPLEJACK

Which was what?

TwILIGHT

Starswirl and the rest of the Pillars sacrificed themselves to save Equestria.

Pohn 3:16!

Sc 8 - Est. TwILIGHT'S CASTLE – DAY

Wow, that was short.

Sc 9 - Int. TwILIGHT'S CASTLE – DAY

Starlight

It's amazing to think one of the greatest mysteries of Equestria was solved with a musty old book from an antique shop.

That's okay, Starlight. The writers don't understand it, either.

SuNBURST

But I wouldn't say the mystery's solved. Starswirl's spell was one of the most powerful feats of magic in all of history. It'll take years of study before we fully understand it.

"Alright everypony, back to work!"

Sc 10 - Int. TwILIGHT'S CASTLE – liBRARY - conTINUOUS

TwILIGHT

I think I understand Starswirl's spell!

You sure? Last time you said that, you ended up switching everypony's cutie mark.

Sc 11 - Int. TwILIGHT'S CASTLE – map room - later

TwILIGHT

I know I've finished one of Starswirl's spells before but this one was on a whole different level!

"They'll have to give me THREE sets of wings this time!"

TwILIGHT (CONT'D)

Was it an explosion of magical feedback? An evocation? A kind of incantation?

Prestidigitation? Confabulation?

It's Starswirl, so the possibilities are endless! And once Starlight set me on the right track with his crazy hornwriting -- I mean, he was a genius, so I guess we can forgive a little messiness -- I went through the journal again and it's amazing!

RarITY

Twilight, darling, we understand you're excited, but that's all we understand.

Twilight, this is an intervention. You've been awake for five days straight. It's time to give it a rest.

RaiNBOW DASH

What exactly is so amazing?

"Other than me, you know."

TwILIGHT

Only how Starswirl and the other Pillars sent the Pony of Shadows to limbo!

ApPLEJACK

They did what now?

TWILIGHT

They used their magic to open a portal between worlds, to limbo, and pulled the Pony of Shadows inside.

Then Dante wrote a book about it, and then somebody else made a shitty video game about it.

RariTY

Darling, your diorama!

TWILIGHT

I made more.

"Because apparently art is now my special talent, too!"

TwILIGHT (CONT'D)

Starswirl thought the only way to trap the Pony of Shadows in limbo was for the Pillars to take him there.

ApPLEJACK

So they got stuck too.

Now they all go-kart race around a circle for all eternity with Bowser.

FlutTERSHY

The Pony of Shadows must have been really awful for them to do that.

PinKIE PIE

I suppose being trapped for all time with a super-duper bad guy in limbo might be okay if you were doing the limbo - but that's still pushing it.

"Or they could also listen to 'I wish it was Christmas everyday'!

TwILIGHT

The thing is, I think I can get them out.

SuNBURST

Twilight, are you serious? You can save the most legendary ponies of all time?

"We can save the Pillar ponies with their hissstory!"

StarLIGHT

I don't know. Opening portals between worlds didn't work out well for me. Are you sure it's safe?

TwILIGHT

First of all you opened portals through time. And second of all, Starswirl wrote the spell you used to do it. If he'd been here, he could have stopped it. Equestria will be safer with him in it. We have to save him.

We can finally catch a break! Think, somepony else could finally save Equestria while we're all at the spa!

ApPLEJACK

But you'd be savin' all the Pillars, right? And they disappeared ages ago.

TWILIGHT

That's the thing about limbo. It isn't one place or another. It's in between, so time stands still.
One of the best Rush songs, btw.

If we can pull them out, it'll be like they never left. I actually built another model to demonstr--

SpIKE

What can we do to help?

"Nothing, Spike. Only the unicorns get to do anything cool in this show anymore."

TWILIGHT

If I'm right, we need to find items that are connected to the Pillars in some way.

RaiNBOW DASH

You mean, like, stuff that belonged to them?

"I think my lucky Wonderbolts jock strap hasn't been washed in a thousand years, if that counts?"

FlUTTERSHY

How would we know what to look for? Or where?

TWILIGHT

Luckily, Starswirl took a lot of notes...

"And pointless checklists, too! A stallion after my own heart."

TwILIGHT (CONT'D)

...my compatriots are as varied as the realm itself and hail from every corner of our land, bringing with them artifacts and talismans of great power...

StarlIGHT

Um, Twilight, what are you doing?

TWILIGHT

I'm not doing anything!

ApPLEJACK

Rockhoof's shovel!

RaINBOW DASH

Flash Magnus' shield!

Thor's hammer!

RarITY

Mistmane's flower.

FluTTERSHY

Meadowbrook's mask.

PiNKIE PIE

And the blindfold Somnambula wore when she faced that nasty sphinx!

It was a piñata.

TwILIGHT

Well that’s one thing we don’t have to worry about.

Sc 12 - EST. ROCKHOOF'S VILLAGE site – DAY

Sc 13 - EXT. Archeological dig – DAY

petunia paleo

i dont need capitalization either lol

Professor! It's a Mighty Helm headpiece! Maybe it belonged to Rockhoof himself!

Professor Fossil

OMG! My OC Professor Fossil from Brother Against Sister is now Canon!

Legends don't wear helmets.

You know, except for Commander Hurricane who LITERALLY WORE A HELMET.

This belonged to a real pony.

APPLEJACK (o.S.)

Oh, I can guarantee Rockhoof was as real as you and me.

PROFESSOR FOSSIL

And I suppose that ravine was dug with his trusty shovel to save the village from an erupting volcano.

What's the village called? Ponpeii?

APPLEJACK

Probably.

PROFESSOR FOSSIL

I love old legends as much as anypony - but a pony strong enough to save a village from rushing lava with a shovel is preposterous!

"I mean, come on, the writers don't let earth ponies do anything spectacular!"

ProFESSOR FOSSIL

I can't believe you just did that. You saved us!

ApPLEJACK

I bet if you told somepony else the story it might sound preposterous.

There isn't any context here, but I'm just imagining Applejack bucking a giant apple falling from the sky or something.

PROFESSOR FOSSIL

I suppose some stories might be true...

"Like Bighoof! Nopony believed me when I said he was real!"

PrOFESSOR FOSSIL

And Rockhoof's appears to be one of them.

Sc 14 - EST. botanical gardens - day

Sc 15 - Int. boTANICAL GARDENS - conTINUOUS

This must be what it's like to watch the show when you're blind.

Sc 16 - Int. boTANICAL GARDENS - center - conTINUOUS

RARITY

OW!

Old gardener (o.S.)

You keep those hooves to yourself, dearie!

That's assault with a deadly weapon, if, you know, Equestria had any law enforcement to speak of.

OlD GARDENER (CONT'D)

This place has been in my family for generations, and I'm not about to let some whippersnapper take the last good piece of it. Time was, ponies came from far and wide to see these gardens. But that flower's the only worthwhile thing left.

"And that damn Mario keeps taking it!"

A MONTAGE

END MONTAGE

RarITY

Perhaps it just seemed like your gardens were worthless, but a little pruning can work wonders. Of course you will have to look after more than just one flower now.

Wait, so now Rarity's special talent is gardening and making plants grow? Should we expect to see Applejack making dresses now?

OLD GARDENER

You've given me back my family's legacy. The flower you wanted seems like a fair trade for that.

Sc 17 - EXT. DRAGONLANDS – DAY

RainBOW DASH

I can't believe Flash Magnus' shield ended up in the Dragon Lands.

I can't believe it either... Wait, why not?

SpiKE

Good thing you brought the Official

Equestrian Friendship Ambassador To

The Dragons to help you navigate our customs. Like our favorite sport - gorge surfing!

Eh, I prefer binge waverunning.

Sc 18 - Ext. Dragonlands - edge of ravine - continUOUS

RainBOW DASH

Okay. That was awesome.

Dragon 1

Dragon Lord Ember commanded us to make peace with ponies, but it doesn't mean you can surf in our spot.

SpIKE

Whoa! Fellas. As the Official

Equestrian Friendship Ambassador To

The Dragons I have to say, that's not very friendly.

"I'm going to be lodging a formal diplomatic complaint about this!"

Garble (o.S.)

Well, what do you know? The puny, pony dragon's sticking up for his pony pal.

rainBOW DASH

Hey! That's an ancient pony artifact.

It deserves to be abused in a far sillier manner!

GaRBLE

Hooves off my gorge board! I found it in the desert and finder's keepers.

rainBOW DASH

It isn't yours.

GARBLE

Huh. It sure looks like mine. But, I might consider racing you for it.

"I was going to have a pie eating contest with you for it, but that was before the scriptwriter switched you and Pinkie around."

RainBOW DASH

No problem.

GARBLE

Um... no. I mean you.

DraGON 1

On your marks... Get set... Surf!

SpIKE

WHAAAOOOOOAAAA!

Good luck reading that one, Cathy Weseluck.

Sc 19 - ext. DraGONLANDS - ravine - continUOUS

SpIKE

I won? I won! WOOO-HOOO! Give up the shield, Garble.

GarBLE

Lord Ember only commanded us to be nice to ponies. She never said anything about pony-loving dragons.

A jerk failing to live up to his promises? The shock!

END ACT TWO

ACT THREE

Sc 20 - EXT. DRAGONLANDS - rAVINE - resume

SpIKE

Since Dragon Lord Ember commanded you to make peace with ponies, you can't very well attack one of their friends, can you?

GarBLE

I guess we'll find out!

GaRBLE (CONT'D)

ARRRGGGHH!

GARBLE (CONT'D)

Ugh. Why is he always hiding behind ponies?

A pony loving dragon hiding behind ponies? Color Garble shocked.

SpIKE

I wasn't hiding when I beat you down the ridge.

GARBLE

You fell.

RainBOW DASH

Wow, you must be slow, if all Spike had to do to win was fall down.

You're gonna need some ice for that burn, Garble! Oh wait, no you won't, you're a dragon so you'll be fine.

GARBLE

I'm faster than you.

RAINBOW DASH

Doubt it.

GARBLE

Fine. I'll race you back to the top. If you win, you can have your pony junk. But if I win, you'll leave and I get to give it to him!

He already didn't keep his word once; why would you trust him again?

RAINBOW DASH

Fine. I'm pretty sure I could beat you anyway, but with that heavy hunk of metal on your back, it'll be a snap.

GARBLE

Huh? Oh yeah. Thanks for the tip.

He makes Rainbow Dash look like a scholar.

GarBLE (CONT'D)

See ya at the top, loser!

GARBLE (CONT'D)

Hey! That's mine!

spIKE

Finders keepers, remember?

DrAGON 1

See, because that's what you said to them when they first showed up and--

See, because I explain every joke in my riff, and--

Sc 21 - Ext. hayseed swamp - day

FlUTTERSHY

Just remember not to turn away from them, Cattail. Flash bees can get pretty aggressive.

"And don't even get me started on Africanized flash bees!"

I guess that's why none of the other bayou animals can get to the water.

CATTAIL

Wouldn't it make more sense for you to wear the mask that calms the bees?

FLUTTERSHY

It would--

FlUTTERSHY (CONT'D)

--if I didn't have to fly up here to move their hive. There!

Hey, while you're up there, can you grab the context for this scene, too?

FLUTTERSHY (CONT'D)

Now the other bayou creatures can get to the water without the bees feeling threatened.

CaTTAIL

You know, you didn't have to help with this. I would’ve lent you the mask anyway.

FLUTTERSHY

Sc 22 - Int. Pyramid near somnambula - day

I don't think anypony can find anything in there.

"You know, apart from those priceless artifacts I looted earlier."

Daring Do

I wouldn't give up hope just yet.

PINKIE PIE

This old blindfold was stuck in the drain.

"How convenient!"

DARING DO

Weren't you looking for a blindfold?

PINKIE PIE

Oh, yeah!

So we have Rainbow Dash at the dragons, and Pinkie Pie with Daring Do. You know, I was joking earlier, but maybe their parts were switched.

Sc 23 - EXT. PONHENGE – DAY

twiLIGHT

I can't believe I'm going to meet Starswirl the Bearded - you know, outside of my

wet

dreams.

STARLIGHT

I can't believe you're actually going through with it.

TwILIGHT

What do you mean?

StarlIGHT

I'm all for pushing the envelope, obviously,

"Every chance I get!"

but this is pretty out there for you, Twilight.

SuNBURST

What's "out there" about saving the most legendary ponies of all time from a thousands year-old prison?

It'll be more tear-jerking than when they saved those Chilean miners!

StARLIGHT

Well, nothing when you say it like that.

StaRliGHT (CONT'D)

Unless... "the most legendary ponies of all time" knew what they were doing, and we shouldn't mess with it.

"I mean, for all we know they could be enjoying their eternal damnation!"

SunbURST

I'm sure Starswirl and the Pillars did the best they could back then, but magic has come a long way - mostly because of the work they did.

StarlIGHT

That's true. And you did get your wings from finishing one of Starswirl's spells...

To the eternal shame of the show.

TwILIGHT

Exactly.

StarlIGHT

But, then I messed with one and nearly destroyed the universe, so...

Once again the writers magnify Starlight's crimes. From calling her a "dictator", and now she threatened the entire UNIVERSE? Pretty sure the Dragons, for instance, could've handled Flim and Flam just fine.

TwILIGHT

Starlight, Starswirl the Bearded is the greatest wizard who ever lived. The chance to have him back in Equestria is worth the risk.

"Dear Princess Celestia: I didn't learn anything!"

SpIKE (o.S.)

That's good news.

RaiNBOW DASH

Otherwise, we'd have brought this shield for nothing!

ApPLEJACK

I hope you don't think you're the only one to find her artifact, because this here shovel says otherwise.

RaRITY

Honestly, you two. Not everything is a competition. Buuut Mistmane's flower is by far the most attractive of the artifacts.

PiNKIE PIE

You're just saying that because you didn't have to scuba dive in a pit of green slime to get yours.

"I mean, Daring Do did all the work, but still.

FlUTTERSHY

Or move a Flash Bee hive.

TwILIGHT

Good work everyone. Let's do this!

Wait, you're not going to brag, too?

STARSWIRL

What-- What has happened?

TWILIGHT

It worked! We brought you back.

StarsWIRL

To where?

What, you don't recognize the tree castle that YOU planted?

TWILIGHT

You and the others have been trapped in limbo for a thousand years, but I figured out how to get you ho--

STARSWIRL

What!? No, no, no, no-- You must undo what you've done!

TWILIGHT

What? Why? I mean, I don't think I can.

STARSWIRL

You cannot bring us back--

TWILIGHT

But I did. I brought all the Pillars back.

STARSWIRL

You cannot bring only the Pillars back...

TWILIGHT

Oh, no...

"That's okay, I'll fix it and then Celestia will abdicate the throne for me!

Alright, stay tuned for part 2 of the riff.

God, could they at least be consistent in capitalizing names?

4691625
I get the sense that they typed this up in about 30 minutes as fast as they could. Which is why the plot makes no sense.

4691629
If only. If only. I don’t give them that much credit.

…hey, the document is a PDF, right? Check whether the names were meant to be formatted differently like, say, they were meant to be in a font that is all‐caps but you don’t have it. That’s the only reasonable explanation I can come up with that doesn’t include the writer(s) being some combination of blind and mentally impaired.

4691640
Ah, alright. I just checked the PDF and indeed, the capitalization is consistent in there. For whatever reason it fucked up when I copied it into a word document. Weird.

you still have the pdf? Seems like none of the links work anymore.
