The Equestrian Blog: Were the Dazzlings a Missed Opportunity? · 4:43am Nov 12th, 2018
A new edition of the Equestrian Blog is up, and I have a major question to ask since 2014. What happened to our favorite colorful Sirens from Rainbow Rocks? The question has gotten asked many times since 2015 by the Brony community with debates and even several theories. The EQG series would have villains that were either a hit or a miss half the time. The Dazzlings were the only ones to get ranked up there with FIM's antagonists. That speaks volumes compared to Sunset, Cinch and Vignette Valencia who should've never been an opposition. Of course, Midnight Sparkle and Gaia Everfree were still good villains on their own. However, the Dazzlings were the ones to set the standard for EQG and an example the others should follow. We already saw the Shadow Bolts return in Dance Magic, making the episode the best of EQG. If only Hasbro could bring them back in an urban fantasy adventure, it then ties the loose end and gives closure for us. Even another slice of life episode like Dance Magic would also do so many wonders for the girls.
As you will notice under the Equestrian Blog section, I posted a new banner. Making these was a thing I wanted to do for Alicorn Enchantment for months. If you are wondering, my experience with Photoshop is really how these banners and logos got created. That leaves Pony Media which needs a change considering it still has Alicorn Enchantment's main page banner. For this section, I wanted to use a mock-up traditional blog post image. Another thing added was a mock-up computer screen effect with the image at a slant angle. It creates the illusion of looking at a monitor from a side view. Originally, I was going to use a paper scroll effect that Twilight often sent letters to Celestria with. However, it's a blog section, so that weren't make sense to apply the image as a background. Now, if this were called the Equestrian Courier then that would've made perfect sense to use. The Last thing for me to say is I'm sorry for not posting weekly content like usual. Lately, with being swamped in studying for a certification exam for IT (which is this week) its why I haven't published more articles. I will try to post often after Thanksgiving and give more content during the Christmas season.
