    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

I finally crossed the 200 followers threshhold! In fact, I've surpassed it by two. The only way I can think of celebrating is to say a heartfelt thank you to all of you who enjoyed enough of my writing to follow me.

Even though I've grown slightly jaded with MLP this season, I'm not going anywhere for at least a year. I still have a few pony fanfics planned, and I may even continue writing EG stories if I ever lose interest in writing pony fics.

One of the fanfics I have planned is, of course, the long-awaited sequel to “Earth Ponies Are OP.” I wrote the outline well over a year ago, but I'm open to suggestions about some of the details. In the story, Twlight wants to measure the life force in an organism so she can get actual data on the life infusion treatments. Traditionally, earth ponies use life infusion in a way that “feels good,” until it doesn't.

BTW, I don't remember who said it first in the comments section, but I'm stealing “life infusion” because it sounds more professional than “life pulse,” although Applejack and Pinkie will continue to use the informal term.

Anyway, I'm thinking about measuring life force similar to electricity, like voltage or amps. Does this make sense, or can you all think of any better ideas?

Hey, if you get a reading on a voltmeter, use volts. Makes sense to me.

Also, congrats on the hectofollowers! :pinkiehappy:

This season sucked.:fluttershyouch: But we still have the fandom.:pinkiesmile:

Congrats, man. You deserve it. I thoroughly enjoyed EPAOP.

Does this make sense, or can you all think of any better ideas?

What about pressure? It goes well with the analogy of force and distribution over a surface area and volume.

I'm open to suggestions about some of the details

Celestia has EP strength, doesn't she? Would be interesting to see what her *ahem* "experience" has done to her Earth Pony abilities

Glad to hear that!

Congratulations. :)

Well, it's an energy flow, so I think it should be possible to use a voltage-and-amperage-like system, aye.

Congrats. :twilightsmile:

Thanks for the input. I'll probably do that.

I may use something like that to measure thauma in general.

It's weird . . . I liked a lot of the episodes, but the integration of the school was very clumsy, and it raised more questions than were answered. Granted, I still haven't watched all the episodes yet.

Some eps were good, and three (Kirin, Road to Friendship, and Parent Map) were I think really really great. Even the in-between eps that focused on the Student Six were fine, but man, that school...
