It's Pony Christmas Carol. I mean, what more is there to say?
As it turns out, there's always something. Spoilers follow below the break.
Pony is back, and so am I. Just kidding - I never left, inasmuch as bears don't die during winter.
Let's see what this episode is.
Stranger than Fanfiction
okay wtf
Check below the break for my thoughts on return of glorious pone. Or, if you want to get to the good bits, just skip errything and click the link at the end of the post.
This was a pretty great episode!
I have been noticing that I've been missing a lot of MLP season 6 episodes, and the spoliers on social media are everywhere. But when I check the schedule on my TV, I find out that it hasn't even been on yet, and all the episodes always come out late, so I have to watch all the MLP episodes on the internet. I don't even know when an episode comes out, and it's driving me nuts! .
This had become a problem lately for all the TV shows that come on.
... and I think the writers missed a great possibility here:
Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you Starlight's "not the bees!" face.
So, a few days ago (16. April 2016) aired the episode "Gauntlet of Fire" (S6 E5).
It introduced a new dragon character: Ember.
Today I looked at the feature box, and 6 out of 7 (!) of the new stories contains Ember.
It doesn't happen very often a new (background) pony dragon gets that amount of attention in such short time.
And we don't even have an Ember character-tag (yet). I hope it will come soon.
I'm curious how long this will last.
It seems that Sunday morning blogging is a hard habit to break. Speaking of which, break going here for those who are trying to get to Season 6 unspoiled. Good luck to you.
Advisory: I don't know if this contains spoilers for Season 6. Personally, I really hope it does.
So, I've once again picked up an idea I've had with the intent of writing it. It's a three- or four-year-old idea and the scraps are from 2017. Since then, I'd like to think both that I've gotten better at writing and that I have a better idea for how to tackle this one. You can get the first scrapped scene below the break; the following scene actually got written twice, so I first need to figure out which/how much I can post of those 'cause, despite the changes, I know one of them has
As some of you may know, I also do art and comics and stuff.
So, here's a thing I did. (Click image for full)
While watching "Flutter Brutter", I couldn't help but grin at the irony that Fluttershy's brother is a lazy slacker who will find creative and ridiculous ways to get out of doing work, considering who Fluttershy ends up forming a sibling-like bond with in I Against I, Me Against You.
At the start of S6 I wrote a blog discussing how S6 would impact my writing. As many of you know from reading any of my main writing - collectively known as the Iceverse - I don't follow any canon other than the show (and sometimes EqG). I have never adapted anything from the comics or novels regarding the show except bits of Cady's backstory. The AU tag upon my works usually just indicated that there was lots of lore but nothing major.
Until now.
It's our second weekend back from the summer hiatus and that means a new Pony episode is due. This week, we’re focusing on the Cutie Mark Crusaders. Last week’s episode was excellent...did this episode keep up the quality?
