Heya! I'm Jake The Army Guy. I call myself that because my name is Jake, I'm in the US Army, and, well... I think you can figure out the rest.

I'm a Drill Sergeant stationed at Fort Benning. When I'm not using my Royal Canterlot Voice on privates, I like to play drums, and occasionally write stories about ponies. Ain't I exciting?

So... this happened.

Now, look y'all, I'm not the type to be all doom and gloom. I tend to always look at the bright side of things. When Twilicorn went down, I was upbeat. I thought they would handle it well, and I think they did, but this... it just feels so... so forced and hollow. Hasbro needs to understand what made FiM so unique was that it bucked a LOT of trends in child programming. It shunned stereotypes and cliche's, or at least handled them well. This just seems to throw ALL those cliches against the wall! The obvious love interest(Oh, you bumped into me, now I find you attractive and I love you), the seemingly forced jokes like Twilight eating an apple without her hands(we're supposed to believe that the scientist can't figure out hands?) the incredibly generic pop music(seriously, that sounded like half the bubblegum-pop crap I played at AFN), the art style which is so similar to pretty much every tween-aimed show.

Look, I get it. Hasbro is a company first and foremost. Their obligation is to their shareholders. Capitalism is boss, I know this. But by doing this, they are openly acknowledging it. FiM is brilliant because it keeps that "little girl shtick" but is clever enough to enrapture the older audience. This is a transparent money grab. None of the passion for quality that went into FiM seems to be in place here.

Lastly, no, I am not condemning it wholesale. In all honesty... I'm probably going to go see it, and I'll probably wear my Applejack t-shirt when I do, along with my .45 in my waistband. Just in case, you know? In keeping with the values this brilliant show has tried to teach me, I'm giving the benefit of the doubt.

All I am saying is things are not looking good at the moment.

So, what do you think?


AND I WILL FIND AND FUCKING MURDER THE SON OF A BITCH WHO DECIDED TO MAKE SPIKE A FUCKING DOG!! What, he couldn't be her little brother or something?!

Finding Your Place

In the wake of the Mbwun killings, Spike seems to be better off then he was before: his large, muscled body is a far cry from the chubby baby he was, and he no longer has to go through his hundred-year wyrm sleep. Life, however, is rarely so simple. As he and Twilight move back to Canterlot, Spike finds that his new body may very well mean the end of his old life.

Under A Luminous Sky

Featured on Equestria Daily

Ponyville, the humble village known for its peaceful tranquility, is shaken to its core when a body is discovered in the Everfree Forest. As the townsponies grieve, the strange, pale Special Agent Bentgrass, from Their Majesties' Royal Investigative Service, arrives at the Books and Branches library and drags Twilight into a world she's only read about: lies, corruption, suspicion, and murder.

Faced with an indifferent police force, and Agent Bentgrass's infuriating methods, Twilight must put the pieces together and catch the killer. But as blood continues to spill and questions pile up, one thing is terrifyingly clear: in the dark of the Everfree, much more is at play than mere murder.

And to be honest...

I've been waiting for your message. :pinkiehappy: Knew it was coming! I do the same, thanking people for faving my story, but all the same, thank you for taking the time to leave a note. That's what I love about fan fiction; I get to feel like I'm connected with the authors I respect, not just read from a distance. :twilightsmile:
