Let the battle begin!
Let the battle begin!
I'm sorry for the wait, and I promise it won't be as long this time. Nothing can beat a wait of over half a year, that's for sure. So to make up for it, chapter 3 is up and raring to go. Also, I'm still working on the TV Tropes page if anyone wants to.

You know, if you're still interested at all.
Go us, boo everyone else.
So yeah... the finale has arrived, a bit earlier than expected but it's here nonetheless.
And to be quite honest, I really don't know how I feel about it.
Spoilers be damned, I want more pony and I want it now!
*SPOILERS FOR THE FINALE!*
The fandom has seemed to collectively dub the new form of the Changelings a metamorphosis.
This seems accurate...though here's the thing that will probably confuse people: if it's a metamorphosis, why do both forms have wings?
Well, here's my thoughts:
The familiar form we've seen for the past few seasons can be called a 'Subimago' stage.
In a tree in a town there lived a unicorn. Not a nasty, dirty, rotten tree, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, empty tree with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a palace-tree, and that means comfort.
Of course, as with Bilbo Baggins, Starlight sitting around and eating elevenses wouldn’t make for a very compelling two-parter. Time to send her off on an adventure.
So, firstly, that episode (or, well, two episodes) was amazing, a great change of pace, and overall a great time. There were a few things I know some people won't like about it, but I've never been a very critical person, so I'm fine with how the writers worked it. I won't go into details, though, because spoilers and whatnot.
I continue my new In the Closet video series with this latest on the Season 6 finale of MLP. So what did I really think?
So, the episodes have been leaked out in the UK and I decided to take a look. Having been on the internet since its creation, I know that if I don't want to have something spoiled for me I have to watch it immediately. To be quite frank, I kind of wish I hadn't this time around. The season finale was really good, though, I'd only rank it at the fourth best finale. The Cutie Re-Mark with evil Starlight Glimmer is still my favorite finale, along with Twilight's Kingdom being second best finale.
It was, uh, pretty amazing. I'm actually glad that they didn't go with a super predictable conclusion like I thought they would. I'm not completely sure what to think about the new designs, but they're not an eyesore in my opinion at the very least. At the very least, I'm just glad that this doesn't affect my stories too greatly.
To anyone out there, waiting in the void, I have good news.
Go find yourself a calendar or diary, or use the calendar on your phone. Count the days and weeks until June 16th.
Starlight Glimmer: No. I'm Starlight.
Ember: Right. I'm sorry, but you can't blame me. You [and Twilight] both look and act so much alike.
Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer: What?!
Ember: I'm just saying you're both purple ponies with purple hair. You both have cutie marks with sparkly things.
Starlight Glimmer: [chuckles] Mine's more of a glimmer. Heh.
Ember: How is that different?
A new challenger appears!
And since I was an idiot and forgot to post it yesterday, here are my thoughts on the season six finale.
While I was working on some new reviews, I went through my old files and realized I’d started a bunch of review sets that I’d never finished. These were all destined for various different review sets, but I never ended up publishing any of them because they were all in sets of 1-3 stories. I wrote some of these as far back as 2018.
But hey, better late than never, right?

Look at this picture up there. This is why Flurry Heart is the most badass baby that ever existed.
After Chrysalis re-emerged from under the debris of her throne, everyone was getting ready to fight her if she should try anything and Flurry Heart was one of them.
So, it seems the season finale was released by the UK as a result of unknown silliness. (Supposedly intentionally?) So I went ahead and watched it. It was pretty fun. I have some few thoughts about the episode, so let's get to them.
