    I cried. A lot

    Came back for the last three eps and damn if pony still doesn't have some emotional hooks still sunk in deep enough for it to really get me hard.

    Of all things 'Lyra + Bonbon' was what got the first tears to come. Lovely nod to the fandom and very much appreciated!

    Then the closing song and the book being shut had me in actual floods.

    Your next Faustian contract?

    So now that MLP is ending how about them DC Super Hero Girls. I had no idea this was even a thing outside of some vague awareness of terrible online animation, but Cellspex in her latest video pointed out this is a thing. Binged it pretty hard over the weekend and it's good!

    Not perfect though.

    Two years I have slumbered...

    200th episode though? 100 episodes since the absolutely sublime love letter that was Slice of Life? Yeah I kind of had to check that one out.

    It was alright.

    Spike having wings was a proper u wot mate. Don't know when that development happened, but it was likely as overdue as the acknowledgement that he's Twilight's younger brother which was deeply appreciated.

    An episode I actually want to talk about

    Spoilers for yesterday's episode in Health of Information follow.

    To take up space for those who haven't seen it yet. Hi, been awhile! Thanks for the follow and sorry I quit out on you arguably making it to still be so pretty pointless really. Well not to those still pissy about All for You who are still looking to have a go even now years later as they can sod right off.

    To quote one of my fics if you don't mind...

    She'd heard that the changelings had queens. Did that mean that they had princesses too? Trixie wondered. Possibly, she reckoned, but she did figure that a changeling that wanted to prey on her would prefer to do it up close and personal. The griffons had chieftains, the dragons were complicated, and the minotaurs practised a deeply suspicious form of rule called

Mission Accomplished (kinda) · 1:57pm Oct 12th, 2013

Well I said I was aiming to chapter three of All for You up on Friday, and thanks to some quick work from my pre-readers I got it out as promised :pinkiehappy:

Apologies for the blog last week for those that did read it. While I'm sure Fimfiction allows a one woe-is-me blog per author policy, but as people rightly pointed out, it really wasn't that big a deal. There were a couple of other factors like a few comments reacting badly to Celestia's characterization, still nothing really to be too concerned about I think.

I'm very pleased with this chapter, I've got to admit. Plus I got to sneak in a joky reference to that deeply amusingly silly and somewhat notorious fanfiction trope that is Wingfic :derpytongue2:

For those that haven't heard of it the usual setup is;

Character who has just grown angelic wings for some reason: "Don't look at me! I'm hideous!
Designated slash character for today: "But, CWHJGAWFSR... They're *beautiful*
Cue angsty cuddling and lots of it.

Or possibly perfected in this quite awesome example (totally not by me).

"(chirp) (whistle) (tweet) (bzzt)."
"But Artoo... they're *beautiful*..."
"WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP-WHOOP!!!!"

Yes that really is honestly a thing, ah fanfic you do make me smile at some of your absurdities.

Anyway thanks once more for reading, and now to start working on chapter 4. I've still got a few things I'm still setting up next time round, but things should be kicking into gear.

For reference, the trope was started by the anime Eureka 7. The line is delivered by Renton to Eureka in IIRC the next to last episode.

Also, lol at R2-D2 wingfic!
