    Update: Going to Youtube

    Just letting you all know that I'm mainly switching over to YouTube and non-pony related writing. If you guys still want me to do readings of pony fanfiction, I can work that into my existing schedule. I will be going out of country to teach english in September, but I can take some recording equipment with me once that comes around and I intend to have a backlog as well of stuff to release once

    Longest overdue update of my life

    I kinda fell off the face of the Earth have I?

    I have a long explanation but let me simplify it. I moved out on my own, got a job, bit off more than I could chew, and ended up going to work for 10-12 hours, then college, and sleeping 2-3 hours a day for 8 months. Then I woke up one day and quit, got a college loan, and now I'm caught up on my sleep. At least I think.

3600493 Is that what you guys call it now? :duck:

A few thoughts as I listen:

Another theme I picked up while watching this season is "passing the torch". The Mane Six seems to be taking more of a mentor/leadership role this season, more so than in previous seasons. They are teaching characters how to solve their own problems rather than doing it for them. The season opener and Gilda come to mind. Starlight Glimmer now seems to be a new main character, taking over Twilight's role as the learner. The Cutie Mark Crusaders will be growing up into their new position as counselors where as before they were being consoled by their older counterparts.

Edit: Heh, you guys mirrored my thoughts above later on.

Pinkie Pie's line about Shining and Cadence taking care of a new baby is one of the few times where I actually laughed out loud rather than just giggle. Best line of the season.

Final thoughts: I'm optimistic about future seasons. I was wary going into season 4 because at the time I thought there was nothing left for the characters to learn. I was pleasantly proven wrong. Now we have new Cutie Butt Marks and OP Glimmer to look forward to next time. I'm curious where the show will go from here.
