Copied from the comment I left on Dr Wolf's review of Princess Spike:
Spoilers. Nopony can stop them, just like nopony can stop the Smooze.
I just realized I haven't posted my inane ramblings in a concentrated from in such a long time, I need to remedy that.
So I was thinking about the cross and arrow universe recently, and realize that a lot of characters have been introduced to the MLP universe since that story, and so, to take a break from my other products, I've decided to ramble about their gender swapped counterparts.
(note: this blog will focus only on characters introduced after EQG1)
Sunset Shimmer/Sunset Blaze
Howdy folks! So, unfortunately, my NaNoWriMo ambitions... didn't really pan out. Again. Fk.
Friends, Fimfic-ians, Countrymen... lend me your ear.
Because Alex is back and finally catching up with this damn show. I know it's been a long time since you've heard from me, and I doubt more than like 3 people even care, but I figured it'd be fun to catch up with the show now that it's come to an end. I feel like I need to get some closure here. Who knows, it might even reignite that spark and get me back into the fandom (but probably not).
Why do people have to be so goddamn childish?
Rating scale:
10/10: Perfect season! Amazing and flawless!
9/10: Awesome season. It has minor flaws but has more positives than negatives.
8/10: Great season. It has several problems but not enough to ruin it.
Spoilers abound for those who haven't seen the episode! Which, I gotta give you props, since the episode was leaked over a month ago.

Get it now! Get it now! Frenemies Talk Express Holiday Edition! Get your fix of Halloween he—
:doors break:
Nopony expects the Spanish Inquisition!
:sounds of struggle, then calm steps from the doorway:
Or are they?
According to a tweet of Amy Keating Rogers, these two are apparently, in fact, most indubitably sisters.
So, this weekend I got shanghaied invited to join in on a review and discussion thing of the new episode. Not having watched many episodes lately, I thought that would be a nice way to get back on the old horse pony, and maybe kickstart myself to finally catch up with the episodes. For now, though, it's just episode 17.
*ahem*
...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay, now that that's over, let's talk about the episode that broke the status quo of MLP. Well, I guess Twilight's Kingdom broke it too with all the DBZ fighting but whatevs.
058 Frenemies Talk: Crusaders of the Lost Mark feat. DuncanR and Manaphy
When you wake up and see it's snowing outside you know it's a good time to have a cup of Earl Grey and post a review.
Well, that was a big item off the ol' wish list, wasn't it?
Right now, EqD is running a poll on concepts for future episodes their readers would like to see. A lot Some of the ideas are good, but it seems like so many common fan-wishes have come true--especially this season--that we're now scraping the barrel for great ideas that haven't been used. So I want to hear what you still want to see.
I liked this episode. Despite the twenty-minute runtime, it felt a lot shorter than it was, and was enjoyable throughout. Some spoilery stray thoughts after the break, if this works right.
I CALLED THAT.
I'm not spoiler-tagging because everyone and their grandmother ALSO called it. If anyone's aware of toyline stuff, you probably saw this coming the moment the synopsis mentioned Cadance and secrets. She's pregnant. You're not surprised. Princess Skyla (EDIT: season-6 material names her Flurry Heart) will be canon eventually.
But enough about the "twist." You wanna know what I think about the episode. Presumably.
So this was a fun episode. I have some things to say.
Spoilers. Of course. And still no pictures. That ish's hard, yo.
In no particular order,
Now we know for sure that Pinkie is at least a twin. Judging by them all being around the same size in the flashback last time, it's even more likely that they're quadruplets. What an interesting thing for Pinkie Pie to be and never bring up. Maybe it's just really common for ponies (or maybe just for earth ponies?).
