    Season 9 Retrospective

    Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    I need to write this while the emotions of the finale are still fresh in my mind. Though the stories will continue in the comics (and countless fanfics, I'm sure), this is truly the end of an animation era. So, as a final season, did it go out with a bang, or a whimper? Follow me below the break to see my take.

    Random Thoughts: The Beginning of the End

    Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    Mama pajama, that was a rush. I really feel like something was rekindled here. Season 8 was alright, but I will admit it didn't have the same energy that made me fall in love with this show. This episode, however, had that energy in spades. Follow me below the break as I just gush a bit on what an epic season opener this was.

    Season 8 Retrospective

    Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    Welp, that was fun, huh? I know for most of you, the season ended earlier thanks to the Australian broadcast, but I didn't have the luxury of checking that out. Also, I'd rather do things by the book.

    Random Thoughts: The Washouts

    Warning: Spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.

    Let me just start off by saying great googily moogily, what a weekend this was! I thought Season 7 had scheduling problems, but this was just insane! Well, at least it's still trackable. Unlike some other shows I can mention *cough*TheLoudHouse*cough*.

Warning: Minor spoilers from the latest episode, Make New Friends but Keep Discord, abound. Proceed with caution.

Oh hey! Fluttershy made a new friend! During the breezie safari. And I'm writing a story about the breezie safari...

...

Remember when I said I like to keep my stories as canon-compliant as possible? Yeah, looks like I have some major revamping to do once I find the time. So much for my whole Fanfiction Foresight schtick. :applejackunsure:

In all honesty, though, I welcome this with open arms. Not only is it going to get me back into my pony-writing groove, but I think this'll make things much more comedic. Truth be told, I'm not sure Cheerilee's chemistry with Tailspin is all that good. Her inclusion in the story feels very, well, arbitrary. But Tree Hugger? A laid-back hippie pony who barely gets fazed by anything? She's the perfect pony to deal with a klutzy adrenaline junkie like Tailspin. As such, I'm gonna be replacing Cheerilee with Tree Hugger in the story, not just for continuity, but because it just works better.

I won't be taking down the story entirely, seeing as all I really have to do is retool some scenes and fix the dialogue. But once that's done, I think the finished product is gonna be a lot closer to what I originally envisioned. :ajsmug:

Edit: Update, complete!

Looking forward to it!

Does that mean, Cheerilee won't be on that train at all?

3075144 No, she won't be. She'll be replaced in the story entirely. :duck:

Well, you know what they say; streaks are meant to be broken.
