    Equestria Divided music Video: Everypony Wants to rule the World.

    I had the plans for a music video almost a year ago, combining Lorde's cover of 'Tears for Fears' 's song, "Everybody wants to Rule the World." unfortunately I didn't write it down for myself I just posted it in a thread. When that thread got deleted without my noticing I lost the work and thought I should just move on.

    Blindbags: The Friendship is Magic Collection

    Ok, off the bat the name is bad. They could've called it the "Sweet Apple Collection" and that would make it easier to find on google since FiM is the brand name for almost everyhting. Still, check it out:

    So, what's going on in this one that's got everyone so hyped up?

    -Cranky and Matilda are getting married and due to a mistake the date has been pushed up one day.
    -Derpy's the one who hooked up Cranky with the invitation service and got him everything at half-off by going with an amateur.
    -Featherweight and his setup at the Foal Free press was said amateur.

    [no title]

    I'll be honest: recently, like, for months now, I got depressed. Stuff happened in my life that pretty much killed any happy vibe. Which is crazy, you think that'd be good for a story set in the mother of Grimdark universe's.

So, what's going on in this one that's got everyone so hyped up?

-Cranky and Matilda are getting married and due to a mistake the date has been pushed up one day.
-Derpy's the one who hooked up Cranky with the invitation service and got him everything at half-off by going with an amateur.
-Featherweight and his setup at the Foal Free press was said amateur.
-Doc is Derpy's friend and he's a science buff.
-Vinyl still doesn't talk.
-The Lebowski ponies make their own wardrobe in addition to being bowling enthusiasts. (and nopony knows what a man is, man)
-Octavia does sound like her Equestria High equivalent.
-Bugbear is a single creature, not a D&D race. It also looks like a bear-y Beedrill :)
-Amethyst Star used to be the main organizer in town pre-Twilight.
-The florist ponies still exaggerate over eveything. The Horror! :)
-Lyra and Bon Bon are bff's. Lyra's magic field is yellow-gold. Bon Bon's real name is Sweetie Drops and she used to be a monster hunter but her organization was disbanded when the Bugbear escaped Tartarus years ago. She's been in Ponyville incognito ever since, probably as part of a witness protection program. Also, her main training appears to revolve around the ability to vanish into crowds. pretty darn cool.
-"Celestia demanded complete deniability." -this sentence. Damn, this sentence.
-Doc does the whole Fred Flinstone twinkle toes bowling thing :)
-Steven Magnet and Cranky are old buddies and went off on adventures. * Magnet is fabulous and funny as ever but being a foil with the whole "the wedding is everything"... was either horrible or awesome depending on taste.
-Vinyl and Octavia are roommates (or a couple) living in a half-and-half house (that's kinda weird). The duet was pretty cool (classical music and technology aren't antithetical folks). Then they use the Vinyl's rig as a vehicle with Octavia plays through it the whole way. * They crash through the most interesting ponies from Perfect Stallion (with Buttons spinning on the turntable-so cute) and crashing through the delivery ponies (suggesting that Derpy lost her job hauling for Crafty Crate but Sunshower Raindrops didn't).
- Gummy has an existential monologue, meaning maybe Pinkie isn't projecting when they have conversations.
-Celestia and Luna argument :)
-Shining is a crybaby :P (liquid pride)
-Steven Magnet pays the mustache forward :)
-Derpy locks the Mane6 out :P
-Surprise Changeling in the back scaring the foals lol.
-and finally, Lemon Hearts took the twilicane.

All in all the story feels a bit like a fanfiction. You can't take it seriously and as it's written it's a story that's not supposed to be taken seriously. It's supposed to be a fun story.
Of course, some parts are just too much compared to others. Bon Bon is over the top - why would an irrational monster be after her? The scene needed a different kind of exposition. And the grappling hook? She could have just walked outside into the crowd - but still good.
Steven Magnet's presence as a friend of Cranky's stretches my suspension of disbelief.
Using the turntable as a vehicle, deliberately since they burst it out from their house, with Octavia playing base the whole way is imo too much. It's a cool image for a short but as part of a full episode it's just too silly.

But those 3 details are just the ones I'd dismiss as ambiguously canon. All in all, it was a wonderfully fun experience and made me feel like I was watching an old Simpsons episode, the only thing in recent memory I can think of with a comparable cast.
