Somewhere in the USA. Probably older than you. And something about MLP:FIM makes me want to write stories. Unfortunately, being gainfully employed cuts into my writing time.

    Retrospective Review: Strong Seconds

    Not an episode review this time.

    PresentPerfect writes about the "Applejack Problem", that a character with everything figured out becomes too boring. Her cutie mark is literally deciding she wants to stay home.

    Retrospective Review: Putting Your Hoof Down and It's About Time

    S2E19 Putting Your Hoof Down

    Watching this episode as part of the whole series is jarring. You have episode after episode of ponies being kind and friendly, then a whole bunch of rude ponies all at once.

    I hate Angel Bunny in this episode. I want to turn him into hasenpfeffer.

    I'd like to know why there just happens to be a hedge maze somewhere near Ponyville.

    Retrospective Review: Hearts and Hooves Day and A Friend in Deed

    S2E17 Hearts and Hooves Day

    The writers have chosen, once again, to feature a holiday or celebration in this episode. Arguably, this is the seventh time (Summer Sun Celebration, Winter Wrap Up, Running of the Leaves, Grand Galloping Gala, Nightmare Night, Hearth's Warming, Hearts and Hooves Day), and the third time directly referencing a major American holiday.

    Retrospective Review: Baby Cakes and The Last Roundup

    S2E13 Baby Cakes

    So this was an episode that came completely out of the blue. There was no indication of Cup Cake being pregnant, let alone with twins. I'm assuming there was a toy involved.

    "That makes sense, right?" Sure, but if you're a pegasus stallion with a beige coat or a unicorn stallion with a yellow coat, I wouldn't recommend dining at Sugarcube Corner.

Predictions · 4:53am Oct 24th, 2019

A lot of my stories are set during a particular season, but written long afterwards, so any foreshadowing is 100% accurate. No points for having a story talk about reforming Discord when you know that's going to happen.

But some of my stories in my ongoing humans in Equestria series were set in the future. And here were my predictions.

In The Taxman Cometh, set in 2018, I said there would be a ninth season of MLP: FIM. And official contact between the human world and the pony world was believed by the main character to be delayed until the show ended.

And in The Best Man, I had First Contact. The date? October 27, 2019. Not too long after the show ended.

One prediction I got wrong: In that story, the portal to Equestria appears the day after a University of Colorado football game. UC is playing at home this weekend, but on Friday instead of Saturday.

So keep an eye out for that portal sometime this weekend!

Man, I wish. I'd be the first one through that fuckin' portal. Yeet myself right on through without a second thought.

Don't get my hopes up like this. :pinkiesad2:

Dang off-by-one errors. >_>
