1. Starswirl the Bearded is a hardhearted jerk who doesn’t know how to admit when he is wrong or doesn’t know something, and how Twilight continues to look up to him throughout the episode puzzles me so much.  I mean, okay, Starswirl’s brilliant, powerful, and not TOTALLY heartless, so I can understand why Twilight admires him, but I’m surprised that the pedestal she’s got him on barely even cracked.

I was almost on the floor.

They went... So many places. So many glorious places.

Thoroughly enjoyed them. And not a two-parter, but two separate, fantastic Starlight-focused stories. Yay!

Still figuring out the Letter of the finale. I have days off Wednesday-Friday. Hopefully then.

In which Rumble goes into a frenzy.

Hello everyone!
As you can see it is Friday afternoon, there is no new chapter. I am very sorry for this, I completely overestimated how much time I would have to write at the hotel in London, but I'm working on the chapter now so expect it up within the next few days (Hopefully)

In which ZEPPELIN! (Also, Twilight Velvet and Night Light get speaking roles again!)

But I seem to have forgotten that this comes out in 10 days.

Hopefully the reviews warrant a purchase. I never played 6.

Well shit!

After confirming himself to be a fan of the show and being so cryptic about whether or not he would do a voice on MLP, William Shatner has officially confirmed he's guest starring in Season 7!

Now all we need is Patrick Stewart as a character interacting with Discord and I can die happy.

OK so I need to talk about this because it's actually becoming a problem now.

Mixed feelings. Fairly funny on the whole, and the song battle was enjoyable. On the other hand, I got a bit bored by the actual romance stuff. So not as good as episode 7, but still a reasonably solid time-passer. ★★/★★★

No preambles this time: let's get back to it!

Sorry guys, but there's no way I'm waiting several weeks to say anything about a new episode. My guideline is "first official showing", and if that means Treehouse, so be it. I will use page breaks more than usual, though. Anyway, today's episode was a pretty typical G. M. Berrow story: not exactly deep, but cute and with some fun guest characters. I'm obviously biased when there's a Fluttershy episode, but there wasn't a great deal of depth here. So, yet another ★★★ ep.

Hello everybody!

I've counted the votes and let me tell you, the results were either a flawless victory or a hard fought battle!

In any case, here's what will be waiting for you in chapter 8!

Queen: 3. She's taking a small escort with her! (More on that later)

Gatherer unit 1: 1. Back to gathering! Can't stop, won't stop!

Gatherer unit 2: 3. Gotta take care of the babies!

Hey, everyone. So, in one of my crazy theories posts, I noted that a lot of episodes in the last season seem to be dedicated to parenting or at least can be interpreted as such. So, I've made a list of what I like to call the parenting episodes and the messages of each one. I've included at least one message for kids and one message for other parents. Granted, not every message is going to fit each episode perfectly, but I tried. So without further ado, here's "Parenting According to

In the season opener of Season 7 Twilight is going nuts thinking about all the bad things that could happen if starlight gose out on her own then comes to the conclusion that its not a bad thing for starlight to go out on her own which is understandable...

and then shes staying anyway. so twilight just went threw all that worrying and growth only to go two steps back.

Yeah, I'm late with this. I'm late with everything just now. Anyway: a step up from last week, mostly due to the fantastic Starlight/Trixie snarkfest. We didn't really need anything else. We got Thorax, who seems to have put a few of Ember's lessons into practice. We also got Pharynx, who was fairly fun. But apparently bullying is good. Hmm. With just the ponies arguing, this could have been a four. ★★★

I've actually seen the finale already, but my schedule hasn't got back to normal yet, so... this wasn't bad by episode 24 standards. Made me feel outright sorry for Starlight in a way I don't think I had before. Still don't find Sunburst that interesting, though. ★★★

I was a bit underwhelmed with this week's episode. For a start, it was really three short specials stuck together with a rather weak camping story. I didn't find the legends that interesting either, a little surprisingly as I've generally enjoyed the comics they tie in with. Also, while I loved the clear affection Rainbow showed towards Scootaloo, I didn't like the way Scoots herself reacted. ★★

Celestial Advice:

Not a whole lot happens, aside from Twilight not sending Starlight away. It was also pretty cool seeing some development from Celestia of all ponies. Overall it was a very good episode. 8/10 Very Good

All Bottled Up:

Time flies too quickly. One minute you're alone in bed and the next time you open your eyes up you have a fiance and your oldest child sharing the bed with you. It's very surreal in a way, but something very much welcomed. I could go on with how much I enjoy being a parent, but we ain't here for that, we are here for stories.

To celebrate this little milestone for my account, I guess it's time to post my first requested Anon In Equestria clopfic.
