Friendship is Card Games: Common Ground · 10:51am May 5th, 2019
Well, this is awkward. I quietly shipped Quibbledash, but that doesn’t work too well when the guest VA brings in his actual wife and daughter. Let’s see just what’s in this torpedo.

I'm honestly surprised they didn't move this episode so it would air during the Olympics. Still, let's see what happens when ponies try to go higher, faster, and stronger.
This week, we begin our look at the comics that led up to last year’s movie. With any luck, we’ll get some answers that said film didn’t have time to address.
Well, yeah. When three named characters are dead and Bolas is back in the penalty box, there’s no take-backsies on War of the Spark.
Oh, right, the pony episode! Yes, let’s take a look at what gets such a dramatic title.
With nothing new in the hopper (in the US, anyway,) it’s time to start tackling the EqG short backlog. Let’s see what four months has produced:
Part of the problem of doing a “live” text reaction is that I have to pause the video in order to type out my thoughts. Rewatching “Every Little Thing She Does” uninterrupted proved to be a lot less bad than I’d made it out to be. I’m still deeply uncomfortable with that episode and its implications, but the declaration of “worst episode ever” was almost certainly an exaggeration.
Double feature time! If you haven't seen FiCG: P.P.O.V., it should be a bit under this in your feed. Or you can just follow the link here. Now, time to open up last week's time capsule:
This week, we take a few looks back at where the cast has been before, one intentional, one arguably less so, and not in that order.
This week, we continue our investigation into the Ponyville Mysteries side series, with crimes ranging from petty theft to grand arson. You know, for kids!
Griffons. We've known they were a thing since Season 1. We saw hints of them last year. Now we finally have the worldbuilding we've been speculating about, and…
Well, it certainly wasn't what I was expecting.
This week, we continue the exploration of this brave new world that has such ponies in it. Though some days it seems like insanity is the one true constant of the equine condition…
May as well pay homage to the originals. Note that you may need to click through to YouTube to actually see it. (And if you missed it, do give my new contest a look.)
Well that was fun! Let’s dive right in, shall we?
The comics never stopped being a thing, though Discord trying to destroy magic in the name of peace certainly never factored into any other G5 media. Such is the risk you take when trying to fill the gap without any idea of what’s to come. Could be worse. We could have had an Archie Comics Sonic the Hedgehog situation. (Long story there, with many echidnas.)
Today, we here about how great a pony is, welcoming ponies to his world, putting his hoof in theirs, telling them they'll never walk alone, and generally offering something for everypony. And yet, though he seems second to none, everypony else seems to be feeling the moody blues.
Jailhouse Rock.
With the second layer of backlog and my most recent contest resolved, we return to the previous threefold rotation of fan animation, webcomics, and official novels. Specifically resuming the interrupted exploration of Minty Root’s work.
Always a bit awkward to dust off an old save file and try to remember what you were doing at the time. Fortunately, Moonstuck is very forgiving for returning players. The game all but plays itself.
I’ve been looking forward to this one. The premise is as fascinating as it is surreal: A classic novel presented in comic form, with the G4 cast filling the roles. Louisa May Alcott’s Little Women, no less.
Between the Tell Your Tale schedule shift and the last issue of Little Fillies not coming out until next month, we’ve abruptly come to the end of the G5 backog. This was originally meant to go in a bridge week for the next Tell Your Tale blog, but sometimes reality doesn’t cooperate with my schedule. In any case, I like to commemorate every contest I run by making cards for each entrant, and now’s as good a time as any for my most recent one.
