    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

Update in the Crazy Times · 11:03am Apr 20th, 2020

In the past few days I've had an increase of views, to the point where I wondered if one of the site admins had given me a plug. Apparently people just have more time to catch up on their Read It Later lists. So thanks to those of you who read my fanfics.

As for me, I'm actually doing relatively well during this pandemic. My company is considered essential because we process health insurance, so I'm going to work every weekday. I just have a general anxiety about the state of the world and about my family, but I'm learning to deal with it. And by “deal with it” I mostly mean cutting back on reading news updates, but hey, whatever works.

And I'm still writing fanfiction, although I don't have a ton of time to write. Currently I'm working on a story that focuses on Cozy Glow. The working title is “A Cozy Redemption,” except so far it's just “A Cozy Backstory,” which doesn't have the same ring. I haven't seen many fanfics that discuss Cozy's origins, so hopefully this will feel fresh. The good thing about this fanfic is that unlike my previous two stories, I won't have to rush to meet a contest deadline, so the quality should be better.

Glad to hear from you. Looking forward to seeing what you do with Cozy. She's almost Joker-like in her blank slate of a past.
