Well, this has been an eventful day. I was able to slip in between Hasbro purges and catch the movie, so let's get this out while it's still technically Sunday.
ObabScribbler's one of the pillars of the brony community, a mainstay whose done countless audiobook renditions of great fics. (Not just readings. "Readings" doesn't do her productions justice.)
And now someone's threatening to ruin it. Estee has the details.
Sunnytember continues as we take a look at what the comics have been up to. When last we left that instance of Maretime Bay, Discord had emerged from the depths of antiquity and the ruins of Canterlot, seeking to save ponies from themselves by eliminating magic. We will, of course, immediately follow up on such a major plot development.
… Won’t we?
It may seem like nothing's happening with G5 content given the glacial pace at which it’s coming out, but it is accruing, slowly but surely. As proof of that, we begin a two-week block of the Starscout Era.
We conclude the comic catchup with the main line and the last two issues of the Milkyway Incident. When last we left the royal sisters, they’d dragged both Pipp’s reputation and the palace through mud. (Well, the mud went through the palace.) Let’s see how this gets cleaned up.
This week, we have Rarity faced with a seemingly irreconcilable dilemma between her artistic desires and economic realities that threatens to crush her dreams.
This week, it's that classic mainstay of mid-century comedy, the man in a dress. And you know what? I thought it worked. Not because it was a stallion in a dress, but... well read on to find out. It'll be in the thicker paragraphs.
The midseason hiatus has begun, and so I turn back the clock to the oldest episode I haven’t done yet in this, my 250th blog. As a reminder, everything else can be accessed from the FiCG index page, which is always available from my user page. Now, let’s get assertive
Wherein Scootaloo decides it’s long past time she made some puberty-grade bad decisions.
This week, we begin our look into a grand epic of madness, mayhem, and historical revisionism. And I do mean “begin.” With no more seasons to pad things out, Achilles is in danger of overtaking the tortoise, and a four-part—technically five-part; #75’s double-sized—series with Andy Price’s art definitely has enough material for two blogs. Let’s start stargazing.
This week, we turn to the last one-shot issues of the IDW comic. The final three will draw Season 10 to a close. Let’s see if the prelude goes out on a high note.
This week, we have an untitled exploration of metafiction. Seriously, even the FiM wiki doesn’t have a title for these issues, so a placeholder it is. Maybe the bookworm ate it. Appropriate for Thanksgiving weekend. Let’s dig in to the rest before the antagonist does.
The international diplomacy counterpart to last week’s pan-federation summit, by which I mean another diplomatic episode written by a Johnny Test alumnus who’s never written pony before. Hoo boy…
I wonder if this episode is would’ve been called “Dragon Warrior” if it had been made before 2005…
While the “Slice of Life” previews are only building in their ridiculous glory, the episode itself still won’t air for another week. As such, and as per your requests, I’m looking at one of the more ridiculous moments of the past, Operation: Chaos Butterfly. (Or, as it’s known outside of Equestrian black ops, Fluttershy starting Discord on the path of redemption.)
I’m not going to say anything above the fold. This one’s pretty much a spoiler minefield.
(deep breath)
All right, let’s get this out of the way: Yes, this storyline, especially the first issue, revolves around an election between a female career politician and a male entrepreneur entering the political arena for the first time. Please leave any other real life references in the comments to a civil minimum.
With that out of the way, let’s actually look at this thing.
Kind of a shame they couldn’t fit in a reference to the Temple of Doom in that title. Then they’d have every Indiana Jones movie. (Yes, every Indiana Jones movie.)
That said, a moment of silence in recognition of the Great Headcanon Massacre of 2015.
You’re in a desert walking along in the sand when all of a sudden you look down, and you see a tortoise. It’s crawling toward you. You reach down and flip the tortoise over on its back. The tortoise lays on its back, its belly baking in the hot sun, beating its legs, trying to turn itself over, but it can’t, not without your help. But you’re not helping. Why is that?
I’m sure you’ve all been inundated with opinions by this point, but I keep to a schedule. In any case, it is at last time for M. A. Larson’s bizarre thank you to us for helping make this the longest running twenty-two-minute toy commercial in television history.
