Paul's Monday Reviews XVII · 8:43pm Jun 22nd, 2015
Today's stories were really interesting to me, for a wide variety of reasons, and most of them scored well. It was a good week for reading on the whole and I hope I get more like them.

Note: I'm cross-posting this from my blog. You may want to read it there since WordPress allows me to use fancier markup like proper section headers, definition lists, and tables.
This week has seen a massive amount of news about upcoming (or freshly released) official MLP: FiM content, with previews! Which means there is lots to analyze right now and I will cover all of it in three separate blog entries! Here is Part 1, about the "Rainbow Roadtrip" Special:
Ok ok I thought I had posted this earlier but I guess the website ate it up or something and it wasn't actually posted. I tried writing it in my own words, but I guess now that's gone I'm just going to copy and paste it straight from the blog post I learned from.
I was away today, and only just got to watch the episode. It was another all right episode, featuring a new song, good character dynamic and some fun. The moral of the episode was wonderful, although I'm not sure why Rarity had to learn it as well. It irks me a tad that we don't have the custom credits roll tracks anymore. I hope they'll return soon. I don't have much to say about this one in terms of lore or world-building or anything, but let's go!
Hahah wow I sure hope Fimfiction user Bad Horse doesn't mind me sharing this 100% real absolutely unedited unforged super veridic conversation we really had! I would have asked him for permission first, but he's offline, and I might be going to a place with no Internet for a couple weeks.
For almost a month now, we have the first, concrete news about Generation 5 from the Kidscreen article and now it's time for me to look at all the information in detail.
Does this mean I am not bad at romance anymore?
Hahahah.
God no.
One day I'll probably write an actual, straightforward romance. Today, sadly, was not that day. But maybe at some point, perhaps? I've read enough shitty fics to at least know what not to do.
On that note, sorry for the lack of updates on the "How Not To Write Romance" series. New one coming soon.
Soon.
Life update time!
I am currently brushing out all the tangles on my twilight sparkle wig, because I get to wear it to school tomorrow
i also just started season 5 of supernatural
and (spoiler warning) OKAY I BARELY REMEMBER HALF OF SEASON 4 AND I HAVE A FEELING THAT ALL OF SEASON 5 IS GONNA BE ABOUT LUCIFER. AND OH MY GOSH I LOVE CHUCK. AND ADAM WAS ADORABLE WHEN HE WAS ACTUALLY ALIVE. AAGHHHHH MY BRAIN IS BECOMING NUMB
but yeah!
Before I get to my point, gonna take a quick sec to PROMO THIS GOOD STORY from my dear friend Ebon. It's a mystery/horror story set in EQG, and a lot of hard work went into it.
Anyway, I realized the other day that I haven't actually written a fun/fluffy canon universe oneshot in forever, so if y'all have any prompts to throw my way, that would be swell.
