... I have long dreaded this day, but it has come. I officially can't stand My Little Pony: Friendship is Magic in its current form. I wish, with all my heart, that I could change history and alter the course of this series so that the current episodes are as good as season one was, that I could make it so that Lauren Faust never left and Hasbro's marketing had not been so heavy-handed and forceful.

"It's better to go in expecting it to be shit. If you think it's going to suck, and it does, then you're not much put out, and if it turns out to be genuinely awesome then you're pleasantly surprised. Whereas if you go in thinking it's going to be awesome and it turns out to be shit then you just get your heart broken."

That's a Yahtzee quote, and I may have miffed it considerably, but that's my approach to the upcoming Season Four.

Honest, just-finished-watching-it thoughts.

Kinda thought the beginning of the movie was okay, when Twilight entered the high school it quickly went into "I have to pause and do something else every five minutes because this is embarrassing" territory. Then, when it was Morphin Time and the Power Rangers came in to fight the Monster of the Day, it started getting watchable again.

Pretty much since the dawn of time, when the mighty Faust breathed life into colored equestrians and gave our world joy, people have thought of turning the ponies into humans (Probably just so their creepy sexual fantasies wouldn't be as creepy, but whatev).

Naturally, there has never been any consensus on how to do it. And there probably never will be.

Lately, it's hard to perk up the enthusiasm for writing fanfiction, largely because, even though I still (kinda-sorta) like MLP:FIM... I'm starting to not like Bronies.

Early on, I loved Bronydom, warts and all. But lately, it seems like there's more warts than there were before, or else its simply that they've become more visible.

Just writing this because I haven't blogged in awhile.

So, the new drama is Equestria Girls, the movie for theaters where Twi becomes human.

You know what? If this had happened a year or two ago, I might've been interested. But now, all I can think is "this is the same people that gave us A Friend in Deed, Mystery on the Friendship Express, One Bad Apple, and MAGICAL MYSTERY CURE. I'm sure they'll find a way to mess this one up too."

Boredom makes me think strange (or perhaps not-so-strange) things. So it just so happened that, while trying to sleep last night and not really succeeding, my mind went to "Man, if I ruled the world with an iron fist, what laws would I pass?"

Yeah, might as well post them.

Since this is on a Fimfiction blog, I'll start off with...

THINGS RELATED TO PONY

1. The MLP Franchise would become owned by the state, and the first season would be required viewing.

Earlier this week, I read an article about "Brain Bugs." The article in question is right here, and he explains the concept better than I can.

As a mental excercise, I asked, "Does MLP have any Brain Bugs?"

And I think it does.

Here are a few I've found:

Isn't it funny how when you're away from something for awhile, and you don't think about it but, in fact, do things that are unrelated, you suddenly think about things that escaped your notice before?

Happening with me and with the Princess Coronation, meaning "Magical Mystery Cure." At the time the episode just gave me vague feelings, but now I'm starting to be bothered by it.

A funny thing is that the whole "Twilight's a Princess now" thing actually doesn't upset me at all... or it shouldn't... or really, its not the coronation that bothered me.
