Between end-of-year accounting work and making this video, I haven't had much time to devote to FimFiction lately. The Starlight story I've promised is still on my perpetual backburner, but I promise I'll get to it eventually. Anyway, I thought that you all should see the fruits of my labor.

You are a phoenix.

What is free will? Does it even exist? How is it important to you as a person, and what you do?

I've made a brief video on the subject and I hope you'll all check it out.

Spoilers ahead.

Perfection is achieved, not when there is nothing more to add, but when there is nothing left to take away.

-Antoine de Saint-Exupery French writer (1900 - 1944)

Warning: This episode is really, really bad. Oh, and there's also spoilers since I guess the episode hasn't aired yet. Believe me, though, you can read and you won't have much of any worth spoiled for you.

ACT ONE

PONY OF SHADOWS

Your pitiful attempt to imprison me has FAILED, Starswirl!

I wouldn't exactly call a thousand years a failure, but whatever.

So, looks like some careless writers Russian hackers have revealed the scripts for the season finale, plus Faust's original show bible. If true, this would represent one of the biggest breaches of corporate secrecy since those Sony movies that nobody gave a shit about were hacked by North Korea. Well, then I guess there was also Target losing all of their customers' credit card information... but who cares! Ponies are much more important!

Starlight Glimmer: No. I'm Starlight.
Ember: Right. I'm sorry, but you can't blame me. You [and Twilight] both look and act so much alike.
Twilight Sparkle and Starlight Glimmer: What?!
Ember: I'm just saying you're both purple ponies with purple hair. You both have cutie marks with sparkly things.
Starlight Glimmer: [chuckles] Mine's more of a glimmer. Heh.
Ember: How is that different?

The latest updates that you have made to your phone software make it really less user-friendly. Sort of like the constant YouTube updates which make it harder and harder to use. My own new phone has no headphone jack. I guess 2017 means that you’re a caveman if you like the older, corded headphones still. Bluetooth doesn’t sound as good and is a pain in the ass to hook up? Hah, Google says.

"If you're strong, you can fly…"

The Soviets were strong... evil, but strong. You can build rockets if you want. You can leave this planet. You can win the space race or come in a respectable second. You’ll never be first to the moon with communism, though.

"You can reach the other side of the rainbow..."

I love this song, "Feels Good To Me," by Bill Bruford.

You may like it. You might not. You might think it's too cheesy, or too jazzy. That's fine, not everybody has to like the same stuff. I don't like shitty dubstep or hip-hop songs that some folks listen to. So, we're different. We don't need to fight about it, because diversity is our strength as a human race. I can say that without it making me a special snowflake SJW.

You are the only one who can fix and better your life.
No one elevates you, but you.
Sleep and eating aside... you should never wait to fix yourself. Do it now, do it proudly.
Then you can elevate your world.
I'm doing these things. In the right order, I hope.
