Friendship is Card Games: She Talks to Angel · 11:42am Sep 1st, 2019
Given the time slot, I suppose this is less Freaky Friday and more Surreal Saturday. Either way, it raises some concerning questions regarding Equestrian wildlife.

Another contest in the books means another blog to commemorate all the entries. Let’s see how it all fares. See here for an easy-to-parse list of what inspired what. And remember, names have to match exactly for the “legend rule” to apply, so self paradoxes are easy in Magic.
Happy St. Patrick’s Day! Let’s see how much luck Stygian has with assembling the superteam of pony antiquity.
“Oh FoME!” you cry. “Who is BEST AT PONIES?”
Well, that’s really a matter of opinion, but I can certainly tell you who claims to be. And he has strong evidence on his side.
I was going to do the 2016 annual this week… but it doesn’t appear to exist. Bit of a problem. In the spirit of an alternate version of me having one to work with, let’s look at the MLP editions of IDW’s recent Elseworlds events.
Hey, this isn’t the first time I’ve reworked the blog title. And if the studio’s going to milk this generation for all it’s worth, it’s only right that I return the favor.
In a tree in a town there lived a unicorn. Not a nasty, dirty, rotten tree, filled with the ends of worms and an oozy smell, nor yet a dry, bare, empty tree with nothing in it to sit down on or to eat: it was a palace-tree, and that means comfort.
Of course, as with Bilbo Baggins, Starlight sitting around and eating elevenses wouldn’t make for a very compelling two-parter. Time to send her off on an adventure.
So begins my exploration of Berrow’s Daring Do trilogy, now that I’ve actually acquired the books in question. Rather thematically appropriate; I had to track down the ancient artifacts and precious lore first. Let’s see if it was worth it.
This week, we return to G. M. Berrow’s Daring Do trilogy to see what the middle volume has in store.
“Oh man,” I thought, “I’m not sure what I’ll be able to do this week given the state of the comics. I hope something comes out before Saturday.”
And a finger curled in on the monkey’s paw.
We move to the back half of this wave of G5 content, which in this case means the comics. With the Discord arc concluded, let’s see if that ends up having any bearing on future issues.
Hello, fillies and gentlecolts, this is Thrill O’Victory for ZBS Sports, and this week we have what is surely one of the athletic competitions of all time. We now go to the opening ceremonies.
We come the penultimate Moonstuck card blog… not counting the epilogue. If it’s after the end of the main story, does that make it postultimate?
In any case, let’s go see what Woona’s been up to.
My copy of Lyra and Bonbon and the Mares from S.M.I.L.E. has yet to arrive. I can only assume that Princess Twilight is still processing the Freedom of Information request. As the gears of Equestrian bureaucracy (and the USPS) turn, I’ll move up what would have been next week’s card blog.
Slightly awkward timing. This would go up on the week of Halloween if it weren’t for that two-parter. Let’s see if there’s anything intentionally terrifying to be had here.
Survey says this isn't Richard Dawson's sort of family feud. Yellowquiet and Purplesmart have their work cut out for them.
I’ve been consistently unimpressed by G. M. Berrow’s vapid characterization of Rarity in earlier novels. Let’s see if the situation improves when Clothes Horse has the starring role.
Dragons! Adventure! Dragons having adventures! And a Spike episode that almost everyone enjoyed. Truly, this a time of wonders.
This week, we have one of those awkward one-shot comics sitting between two multi-issue storylines, made all the more awkward by a marked absence of other comics to pair it with. As such, we’re drawing from one of the shorter stories folks have volunteered for cardification as well.
