    Crusaders of the Lost Mark (Spoilers Be Here)

    Usually don't bother doing a blog post about episodes because I don't have much to say, but given the storyline significance of the episode and the fact it is the 5th anniversary I guess it makes sense.

    In case the title didn't clue you in then warning, spoilers ahead.

    Sometimes

    Sometimes I just want things to be alright. Sometimes I just want things to be simple. Sometimes I just want to do what's right. Sometimes we all make mistakes. Sometimes we all get a bit mad.

    And sometimes I just want it to all to stop.

MLP Quiz · 11:46pm Aug 18th, 2015

Fav characters?: Overall favorite has to be Sunset Shimmer

Least fav characters?: Fluttershy, Snips and Snails, Trixie and (from the comics) King Aspen come to mind

Fav background pony?: Berry Punch and Derpy. Can't really call Vinyl Scratch a background pony anymore or it would've been her.

Least fav background pony?: Carrot Top/Golden Harvest. I don't hate her, I just don't get the fascination some have with her

Fav Mane Six member?: Rarity, I love the spoiled sweet archetype and Rarity is a very good example of it

Least fav Mane Six member?: Fluttershy, more often than not especially recently she comes off as an ungrateful and selfish mare hiding behind shyness which coincidentally vanishes when it's something she actually cares about.

Fav CMC?: Scootaloo simply because she had the best focus episodes of the three.

Least fav CMC?: Applebloom. Again, no real hate just she feels more bland than Scootaloo and Sweetie Belle, which makes sense since she's basically the straight man of the trio but it doesn't make her stand out as much.

Fav princess?: Princess Cadance, something I can't really explain but she's the type of character that just cheers me up whenever they get focus.

Least fav princess?: Princess Twilight, and no not because of "ermagerd she's an alicorn, show ruined!!". I just don't find her as interesting as the other three.

Fav season?: Season 3, short but sweet

Least fav season?: Season 4, some of the shows worst episodes and an utter failure to take advantage of a great storyline setup. Even still, not a bad season overall.

Fav episode?: Toss up between "Sleepless in Ponyville", "Twilight's Kingdom", "Wonderbolts Academy" and "Do Princesses Dream of Magical Sheep?"

Least fav episode?: "Rainbow Falls", with "The Mysterious Mare Do Well" and "Bats!" being close runner ups

Fav episode focused on your fav Mane Six member?: "Sweet and Elite" for Rarity

Any episode you hate but everyone else loves?: "Bats" seems to approach it at times but I think the big one would probably be that I never, ever understood the love for "Magic Duel". To me it's below average at best.

And the other way around?: Personally I thought Princess Spike was alright for just being dumb filler.

Any guilty pleasures?: Honestly I have the mindset of if you enjoy something you shouldn't have to feel guilty about it. Regardless, I'd say the closest thing would probably be the episode "Best Night Ever", it really doesn't work but I enjoy it anyway.

Fav season premiere and finale?: "Return of Harmony" for the premiere, "Twilight's Kingdom" for the finale

Least fav premiere and finale?: "The Cutie Map/Cutie Markless" for the premiere, "Best Night Ever" for the finale

Fav song?: Including Equestria Girls it's "Welcome to the Show". Not counting that it's either "This Day Aria" or "A True True Friend"

Least fav song?: Weird answer here. For actual lyrical content it's "Stop The Bats" because it shows all the problems with that episode but the actual song is catchy and well instrumented. For just sound alone it'd probably be Fluttershy's song from "The Cutie Chronicles" (sorry I honestly can't remember if it had a title). Far, far, far too sappy and over the top for me, I know it's MLP but that was approaching G3 levels.

Best villain?: With the comics taken into consideration, King Sombra. Without them, Adagio Dazzle.

Worst villain?: I would give the nod to Starlight Glimmer but I'll give her the benefit of the doubt because she hasn't had her finale yet. So instead I'll say "Nightmare Moon"; infinite potential, not really ever used properly.

Like Equestria Girls?: Yes. It wasn't reinventing the wheel but for what it was it was okay.

What about Rainbow Rocks?: A perfect example of how you improve on both the weaknesses and strengths of the previous film, with some of the best music in the franchise.

Looking forward to the third movie?: Very much so.

Speaking of movies, looking forward to the 2017 movie?: I'm looking forward to it but what I hope is that it isn't just a glorified season finale with filler added in, let's actually have it feel grander in scale please.

Fav shippings?: RainFire (Rainbow DashxSpitfire), ShiningCadance, CheeriMac, Sparity (SpikexRarity), TwiLuna

Least fav shippings?: FlashLight (Could've worked, execution felt like it was done at gunpoint), anything with Trixie, FlutterMac, honestly most Mane 6 shippings, DisCelestia (I know I know, Foe Yay but I just don't see it being anything more than one sided from Discord),

Fav bronies in the community?: Anyone willing to have a nice discussion about the show or our original creations related to it

Least fav bronies?: Killjoys. We're in a fandom about magical talking horses guys, not everything needs to be 100% straightlaced serious.

Any character you didn’t like but grew to like as the series progressed?: Rainbow Dash didn't appeal to me when the series started but over time she's really evolved and unlike Fluttershy or Spike her character development has stuck without totally rewriting her personality.

Have a waifu?: Spitfire and to a lesser extent Princess Luna and Rarity

If you could remove one meme from the fandom, what would it be?: Probably the endless Pinkie-Deadpool comparisons. It was funny all of once.

And finally, can you name anyone you want to guest star on the show?: In totally unrealistic terms, Keith David. In more realistic terms, I'd like to see Bonnie Zacherle (the original creator of MLP) voice Celestia and Luna's mother or mentor if they ever appear, it would be very fitting, perhaps even more so than Lauren Faust doing it.
