    Twilight and Sunset:

    Twilight: "Hey Rarity, can I borrow your hair curler, I can't find mine."
    Rainbow: *eyes widen*

    Pinkie: "Oh my god, I just thought you guys were doing it, I didn't know you were in love!"

    Shining Armor: "What? No, no no no...what are you doing? GET OFF MY SISTEEEEEEEEER!"

    Revised Harmony Spirits

    I wanted a full set of these with proper art, so with permissions from mauroz, here they are. A couple effects have been tweaked to be consistent with modern vernacular in the card game and for my own better understanding of card design and balancing, and I also added a new "Tier 1.5" form for Twilight so she can have her own Fusion outside the ace monster, and finally added Sunset as a

    2024 will (hopefully) be the end

    The outline is done, the roadmap is drawn, all that remains is to follow it. There may be some bumps along the way, but we'll be on our way.

    My friends, let us step together beyond the horizon.

S8 Promo Thoughts · 8:16pm Jan 29th, 2018

This is either going to be one of the best or one of the worst seasons of pony.

So, if nothing else, let's give props to the writers for having the balls to do what is arguably the biggest shake-up in the status quo in the show's history, certainly bigger than Starlight joining the casting and at least as big as Twilicorn. A whole new setting to add on to Ponyville, the Mane 7 will be teachers to a new generation of students (including a pseudo New Mane Six, since I noticed six in particular kept getting focus) consisting of many different species that will become recurring characters now. This opens worlds of new story opportunities and the chance to take the characters and show to places it couldn't have gone before.

However, there's the flip side as always, that being this could easily fall flat. The new characters may suck. The new storylines they choose to do may not be done well, or they may shy away from too many stories focusing on the school. This is another one of those ideas that has "bad fanfic idea" written all over it, appropriately enough, much like Starlight joining the cast or the changelings being reformed.

And that is why I am cautiously optimistic. The show has proven time and time again over the years that any time they take a chance on an idea that I worry will fail, they pull a win out of it. So I am confident they can do it again here. And who knows, maybe this will lay the foundation for G5 or G4.5 or whatever they want to do going ahead.

All aboard the hype train!

Wait, so they're pushing the main characters out of focus completely? What?!

No don't worry this will not be like Scrubs season 9.

4784571
Okay, just looked it up. It seems more like they're just adding a bunch of secondary characters. I guess that probably won't screw everything over.

4784559
That's what The People want.

WHAT IS THIS BULLSHIT

WHAT

IS THIS BULLSHIT

BULLSHIT

"Some things you can't teach with books" WHO ARE YOU AND WHAT DID YOU DO WITH TWILIGHT SPARKLE

nope, calling it, show's dead, fuck everything

So. Yeah. I watched some leaks. 3 random ones. Only one had a school kid in it and it was their origin story. It was also the ony good one.

There are still going to be good episodes. At least one. This isn't setting up G5 at all. Not unless the leaked notes get tossed completely and they ditch all of the work they've done so far. While there are going to be a lot of bad episode with the good, have a little faith in getting a few winners.

The synopsisusususues of all the episodes also leaked. Those TV guide blurbs. If anyone reading this is freaking out (4784783) the I suggest checking those out if you can find them. While hardly standing in for complete episodes, it should at least give some sense of perspective on how much impact this school thing will have.

4784783
uh, that was kinda the whole reason Celestia sent her to Ponyville?

don't do this to me kits

we can be cranky old men together D:

I spoiled myself on one S8 episode that got me super hyped. I too am going in knowing at least one episode will be amazing. But I also go in knowing it'll break the fandom over what it's gonna do.

4784897
I'm already cranky and old. I hate everything. All know this.

But that's not what you should decry is te death of the show. Just wait until you find out what percentage of Celestia's life/rein Luna was trapped for or learn more about her s8 personality.

And yeah. Twilight was kinda sent or ponyville to learn stuff not in books. Not that there's anything wrong with her missing the point. Plus she published her friendship book, so now it is in a book.

Ponidox!

What the effing hell???!!?
Everything is dead.

Everyone calm down. I watched basically every leaked episode which was almost half the season. It's still good. Not the best or the worst season, just a good season.
