Seeing how I detailed my thought process for my OC Autumn Galerina three years ago and how I am yet again huffed up on painkillers and I kinda want to have a more positive Blog-wall for the new year, I think it is time to explain how I developed Diamond Shadow and ultimately, how her relationship with Autumn "works".

How to put it?
My family and I went to see the new Star Wars movie and I have to vent my feelings somewhere.
Now what did I think?
I HATED THIS MOVIE! This is the prequels all over again, only worse in a way. At least the prequels had passion and a vision. A dumb, misguided and foolhearty vision but at least a vision.

I had no idea where to post this, so I'll just put it here:

It was a regular evening in a completely random and uninteresting part of Equestria. So uninteresting that only a complete fool would ever consider putting any kind of meeting place for super secret agents here. NO Ma'am! Please ignore that hollowed out tree, the tripwires, magical barriers and trained attack sparrows. All random magical phenomena, I tell you.

Hi Everyone!
Just announcing that the new chapter for my long-quiet story is with our favourite creepy soul collector now and will be done when he is through with it.
I write this post for two reasons:

OK, let me get this out of the way first: I don't consider drag by itself to be funny. Yay, guy in a dress or girl in a suit. Grand Comedy! Why didn't I think of that? I just try hard to be funny. What was I thinking.
Now, if I am such a petty idiot on this theme, why did I love the heck out of this last episode? (And for the record: It was not because of Mac's dashing good looks. At least not entirely)
Well: Here is the spoiler warning and we can get into the main two reasons.
So

*Spoilers about the episode and deep personal feeling incoming, don't read if you want to avoid either*

Did Larson just write the best fanfic of all time?
Seriously, he took two throwaway lines, side characters and plot details and wove them into a deep story about trust, friendship and solitude. Man, that is OUR job! We are the ones to over-analyze and come up with side stuff for your creations!

Apparently I will end up commenting on every single darn Spike-centric episode of this series (maybe I wouldn't feel like doing it if they stopped writing the same plot).
Ok, let me get this out of the way: I don't mind that this is another "Spike screws up" episode. Those can work rather well. Just remember the sidekicks episode.
But this one irks me due to two very huge and glaring flaws:
*Spoilers*

A: This was all Cadance's fault! (And Twilight's to a lesser degree)

Have you ever heard a stupider plotpoint?
A pony who lives with their "bestest of all friends" (winknudgenudge) for years and, in one moment of pressure and crisis reveals herself to be a spy all along?
And the partner then forgives them and they try to be happy?
Who writes something like that? That is completely and utterly silly?
Have you ever heard of a writer who would come up with something like that? What a nutter that guy must be!

What can I say?
Twilestia is gonna be canon soon and Celestia is best Pony...

Don't read this if you haven't seen the episode!

Done?
Ok...
GOD! Polsky! You did so well with the Spike episode and then you give me this? Seriously?
Now, I have two enormous problems with his writing lately and I will be frank about it:
ALL SIDE CHARACTERS HE TOUCHES TURN STUPID!
First we have Spike, then Daring Do, LUNA and now Braeburn!
