Going to need to make this relatively quick, and apparently out of chronological order. (And yes, this was quick. I only got my replacement laptop about four hours ago. Love and care go into these blogs.) In any case, it’s time for perhaps the most metareferential episode the show’s ever given us.

This week…

No, no. Text can’t do this one justice. Just a second.

This week, there’s a mystery afoot. Ahoof? Something along those lines. Point is, it’s off to the big city.

Others have mentioned this, but there’s something important to note about “Dance Magic.” It was originally intended as a prequel to Legend of Everfree, which would make vastly more sense in terms of the timeline. Doylistically, they switched gears mid-production (hence the spring dance after summer camp,) but Watsonianly? I’m going with my standard policy for bizarre temporal phenomena in pony: I’m blaming Starlight Glimmer.

Season 8 premiers next week, which means we must again bid farewell to the comics for a time. So, let’s see if they can go out on a high note as…

We open with Jay Fosgitt.

Welp. Let’s hope that’s not an omen.

Ugh, completely forgot this week was going to have a double feature. Maybe I should’ve just gone with the Australian release…

In any case, precedent says the protocol here is two episodes, one blog. Tiime for some serious quality time with the Student Six.

A shovel solves a lot of problems, but it can’t do much against a generation gap the size of the Grand Canyon.

This week, Fluttershy takes her self-confidence too far in the other direction, and she doesn’t even need a minotaur to do it.

This week, we take a look at two of the United States’ more embarrassing debacles of the twentieth century: Prohibition and Eighties fashion.

Appropriately enough for a post between Black Friday and Cyber Monday, we’re focusing on one of the most blatantly toyetic parts of this generation of pony, the Guardians of Harmony mini-mini-series. Which is to say a short series of short stories; there are six of them and each is only eight pages long. Between that and how they come together into a single storyline, I’ll be doing all of them in a single blog.

And we’re back to the mainline comics, with a blend of sweet and… well, I suppose “savory” works when discussing Fluttershy nearly eating Apple Bloom.

And we return to sequential art with the next two chapters of the English manga, featuring Best Pony and some of the worst.

A moment of silence, please, now that the first Great Headcanon Massacre of 2017 has reached those avoiding the early airings. The wavefunctions of Rainbow Dash’s parents have collapsed, and the end results…

Well, this actually explains a lot. Let’s take a look.

On the one hand, we got an apology for last week. On the other, the writers felt last week called for an apology. Say what you will about crazy, competitive, and crazy-competitive Twilight, at least she knows when and how to put it away these days.

This week, we hit levels of Twilighting that shouldn’t even be physically possible. Also, several ship names become canon, if not the ships themselves.

This week, we wrap up the last available chapters of the OEL manga. The next volume won’t be out until December, so it’s Pony Life and IDW for the foreseeable future. But first, let’s wrap up Pinkie’s temporal misadventures.

This week, we approach one of the momentous events of the series from a much more twisted perspective. It’s time for a witchy wedding, folks.

Happy Pi Day! Very little Pinkie content today, sadly, but I've got a massive content rotation on the horizon, with IDW comics, the EOL manga, and even Season 2 of Pony Life. (Hey, I’ll take what I can get.) But for now, it's one more week of Sherclop.

Quick reminder, the submission period for Imposing Sovereigns II ends at this coming midnight! If your story is still in the submission queue when the clock strikes twelve, send me a PM with an image of it.

Now for your regularly scheduled horse cards.

This week, we’re winding back the clock a bit in terms of source episodes. There were hints of this Twilight’s delusions last week, but now we’ll get a better sense of the depth of the rabbit hole… but not a complete one. That will come in time.
