The Unity Crystals: A Backstory Theory

My wonderful niece insists upon watching exactly 2 episodes of G4, over and over again. One of them is the second half of “The Crystalling,” in which Sunburst figures out how to use the Crystalling of baby Flurry Heart to reforge the Crystal Heart she shattered, and Starlight Glimmer stands beside the four alicorns pouring raw magical energy into a most ancient artifact as if she were their

The Keys of Harmony

In the season four finale, six objects became keys to the seed-chest of the Tree of Harmony, which yielded the Rainbow of Light and defeated Lord Tirek. He had gained his powers by stealing the inherent magics of the ponies of Equestria, which included their Cutie Marks.

Comics, and Canonicity of Concepts

There are those among us who declare the IDW comics null and void on their face, that no part of them should be considered part of the MLP universe as far as further fanworks are concerned. "Sombra is not the scion of a long-forgotten race of monsters opposed to the Crystal Ponies and their empire," they say, "and he does not have a mirror universe double with whom Celestia is mutually

Clock is ticking, Duplex · 5:51am Jul 21st, 2013

I officially have less than six months to rewrite Less to my satisfaction before the show runs with the exact same premise. Namely, the Scootadisability episode previewed at Comic-Con.

I am terrified. I expect to be cleverer in some ways than the show's writers (hubris is a writer's perogative), but I do not want them to do an "honorable mention is good enough" episode, nor a "disability is a wonderful thing" episode. I have tied my heart so closely to Scootaloo's that I fear it will break me.

I have faith in the writers, and even survived Alicorn Twilight Princess Sparkle, but just as a bad Spike episode might freak out The Descendant, I am squarely in the crosshairs with this one.
