I play video games, a great many instruments, and used to write once in a blue moon. I don't anymore, but I'm still active here.

    What Can I Say About the Season 5 Premiere, aka Why Equality Sucks

    First of all, I want those ponies' official names to be Cutie Marxists.

    Secondly:

    I've grown to really appreciate MLP villains that unsettle me, and Starlight Glimmer is definitely one of those. I hope we're approaching an era of quality MLP villains.

    Is Fanfiction Worth It Anymore?

    Jerry Peet has become an interesting influence in my life recently. As have a few other members of the analytical community. However, if I'm going to watch any of those people (Silver Quill, ILoveKimPossibleAlot, etc.), I tend to prefer someone other than Jerry. Sure he's entertaining in his episode summaries, but some of his Glass of Water videos come off as pushy and obnoxious.

    Sunset Shimmer

    I hated her. I really did. In Equestria Girls, she was every teenage bitch ever written. Her plan made no sense, nor did the way she acted it out.

    Then September of 2014. The dreaded sequel reared its ugly head and confirmed why fanfiction should stay on the internet and off the big screen.

    From the Realm of the Dead

    Yep, I'm alive. I just had to leave for a long time because I needed a computer that could handle FIMFiction, which my old one can't. Rest assured that I am in fact alive and I'll hopefully be writing and reading again (if not the former, then definitely the latter).

What Are Your Favorite Episodes?/Sneak Peek · 11:37pm Nov 21st, 2012

Studio Derp now has a SynchTube account, and I'll be hosting the first session. It will be on November 24th at 2:00 p.m. plus another one (maybe) at the same time on the 25th, and we'll be watching a series of episodes. So, my question for yinz is this:

What are the ones you want to see on the playlist?

Please don't say Super Speedy Cider Squeezy 6000.

Also, here's a sneak peek at my next story!

Most Changelings barely made a dent in the ground when they landed, mostly because they were slowed down by trees long before the forest floor was even in sight. Chrysalis, however, being nearly the size of Celestia, was significantly heavier. She approached the canopy at a sharp angle, and made a comedic Changeling-shaped hole in the leafy roof. She easily cleared any branches that got in her way from there, and skidded on the ground for about fifteen hooves before slowing to a halt. Luckily, the canopy had absorbed most of her downward momentum, so she had no serious injuries, only scrapes, bruises, and a clipped left ear.

Nevertheless, she made no effort to move from her crater. She was content to lie there, wallowing in her own misery and shame. Unlike Nightmare Moon or Discord, she’d didn't intend to overthrow Celestia merely to rule the land herself; her people were starving and without a home. They needed the love of sentient beings to feed, not including each other. Equestria was close to where her colony was located at the time, and was ripe with loving citizens. As villainous as she may have made herself out to be to the ponies, she was only doing what any competent ruler would do if her subjects needed hospitable land. She was certain that if Celestia were in her place, she would do the same.

But her mission had failed. She was defeated, ironically, by the one thing that kept her and her people alive: love. She was banished and left to die by the bride she had mimicked and the groom she tried to steal. She had failed her subjects by not finding them a home, and she had failed herself by losing without putting up a fight. She curled up in the pit and did something she hadn’t done since larvaehood.

She cried. She cried as loudly as her body desired; no one could hear her, anyway, and there was no more shame that could be added to her.

Well...I'm liking the new story sneak peak. I really enjoy how you're beginning from Chrysalis's defeat, at Princess Cadence's wedding. I look forward to reading it, once it's posted of course. Honestly I can't wait to see how you incorporate, certain events, into the story. Have you got a title for it yet? :derpyderp2:

I'm calling it Equestrian Subversion. I'm gonna look over the first chapter again to decide whether it's ready to post. If it is, I'll put it up sometime this week. If not, it'll probably go up with my next Christmas special.

Awesome! Oh, I have a few 'unreleased' detail's I can share with you. I know they'll probably be usable for your new fic. :twilightsmile:

543095 Well first off...Bane Tooth isn't dead. Rainbow & Trixie fought an elite guard, but not Bane Tooth. Remember the guard talking to who we believed to be Bane Tooth? The one that walked by Rainbow without even a look? Yeah that was the real Bane Tooth. There are a few other things, but out of fear of leaking any info for the story, I'll just pm you those.
