    MLP: TNG

    I'm a month late to this, but here's my take on MLP: TNG (or whatever we're calling it). I was underwhelmed the first time I watched it, but I gave it a second chance, and it started to grow on me. I think my mistake was watching Raya and the Last Dragon just a few days before the G5 movie. Both movies have similar themes and plots, but they handle them differently. More on that later.

    Revisiting the Final Season

    A few months ago, I rewatched Season 9, and I liked it even better than the first time I saw it. There were still two episodes that I didn't care for: “3, 2, 1, Greaaat” and “Trivial Pursuit.” With both of those episodes, I went into them with the mindset that I would skip to the next episode when they started to annoy me. I only made it a few minutes into each episode.

    Bereavement

    It's been awhile since I've posted any updates. Things happened one after another to make me lose interest in multicolored ponies. First the show ended, and then real world problems started happening. Then came the worst case scenario – I lost my father in February of this year.

    Random update

    I haven't been on this site as much as I use to because of real life distractions. Not all of the distractions have been good, but the good ones are truly amazing.

    Pony Life is a regression to Season One

    Maybe it's just because the MLP stop-motion shorts lowered my expectations, but so far I think Pony Life is okay. I wouldn't call it good, but at least it doesn't directly insult older fans the way Thundercats Roar does (or so I've heard). I enjoy Pony Life's animation style enough to recommend watching five minutes of it. Plus, there is actual dialog spoken by the same VA's from FiM, and they

Mac to the Future epilogue and so forth · 1:22am Nov 2nd, 2018

The "Mac to the Future" epilogue is finished, but it's very rough. It should be ready to go sometime next week.

Oh, and in case you weren't aware, the story received an honorable mention in the contest. I'm not gonna lie, I was a little disappointed that I didn't win a cash prize, but I knew I had some tough competition even with a relatively small pool of entrants. Still, it's nice to be appreciated even if there's no dollar amount attached. Kind of like my real job right now.

In other news, I'm plugging away at the sequel to "Earth Ponies Are Overpowered," which I'm currently calling "Earth Ponies Are Blessed with Suck," but I'll change it if the story ends up being more serious than such a title would suggest. I'm going to write a separate blog post soon since I'd like suggestions about how ponies would measure thauma and lifeforce (which are two different kinds of energy).

Sorry for paying you with exposure. :twilightsheepish: I had about eight stories competing for my personal top three slots.
