I'm entering the Season 9 Bingo contest. This is a curious fic-writing contest where everyone gets a different prompt consisting of five disparate elements which are deliberately quite hard to fit into the same fic. I had been looking for a contest to enter and this looked like an interesting one (with a relatively gentle deadline – the airdate of the first episode of Season 9). Sure enough, it's been fun.
WARNING: Contains Mild Spoilers to Crusaders of the Lost Mark
This blog post mainly is going to address Scootaloo's (Not so Cool) Cutie Mark. But it applies to Cutie Mark Crisis as well.
As you all know Scootaloo's (Not so Cool) Cutie Mark takes place in the same universe as Sisterly Bonds: The Rewrite and I would like to stress that what I say about not so cool cutie mark applies to that universe as well.
Usually don't bother doing a blog post about episodes because I don't have much to say, but given the storyline significance of the episode and the fact it is the 5th anniversary I guess it makes sense.
In case the title didn't clue you in then warning, spoilers ahead.
*ahem*
...AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH
Okay, now that that's over, let's talk about the episode that broke the status quo of MLP. Well, I guess Twilight's Kingdom broke it too with all the DBZ fighting but whatevs.
Thoughts, spoilers, wow, Jesus Baby Christ, this week's episode, Crusaders of the Lost Mark.
Spoilers. You've been warned.
058 Frenemies Talk: Crusaders of the Lost Mark feat. DuncanR and Manaphy
When you wake up and see it's snowing outside you know it's a good time to have a cup of Earl Grey and post a review.
My interpretation of the CMC's new Cutie Marks:
While all three have the same BASE mark, each has a unique symbol relating to them. Applebloom and Apple, Scootaloo a lightning bolt, and Sweetie Belle a song note.
I believe this shows while all three have VERY SIMILAR base talents, ultimately it's not the SAME talent, merely like Flim and Flam they have talents that work best when combined.
Wow... I'm actually tearing up right now. The CMC, after exactly five years since the show aired, finally got their cutie marks!
CELEBRATION!!
Well, that was something.
I mainly thought a reminder might be in order that Cubic Zirconia already says on it that nothing after Season 3 is canon, and that very much includes the latest episode. Spoilers after the break, both for the episode and Cubic Zirconia.
For anyone not reading the spoilers, I'm not planning on trying to work the changes from this episode in, except possibly shoehorned in in au ways...
Spoilers for the latest episode after the break. Also, pseudo-philosophical navel-gazing.
Warning: Spoilers from the latest episode, Crusaders of the Lost Mark, abound. Proceed with caution.
Just watched the new episode, andRemember this blog post?
Yeah bathe in my glory... I WAS RIGHT!
IM SO PROUD OF MYSELF RGHT NOW IM NEVER RIGHT!!!
So happy and proud of the writers, they finally got their marks!
Warning: Major Spoilers ahoy. No, seriously. In fact, if you are looking at your feed right now, and haven’t seen the episode yet, stop and watch it if you don’t want it to be spoiled, because people aren’t being careful.
I fell behind a little. Time to play catch-up, starting with Equestria Girls 3.
Rarity Investigates: A fun, noiresque episode starring Best Pony. The Wonderbolts continue to be presented in a less than ideal light, but most of that is due to Pony Gilderoy Lockhart. 4/5 bottles of cologne.
Made In Manehattan: Coco Pommel! A tragic end to AJ's hat! An interesting moral! Theater Troupe Hipster Ponies! RARIJACK UNDERTONES OUT THE WAZOO! 5/5 tacky hat stands.
Fellow bronies: Brace yourself for incoming fandom drama.
And here's the weird part — this time, it's not actually our fault.
We got our spoilers! We got our spoilers!
This is the episode that Hasbro decided to air for FiM's fifth anniversary, and what an episode it is! It has so much packed into it, and so many twists, that it could stand as two or three episodes, if only we had the time.
The Plot
Crusaders of the lost mark was a masterpiece.
I loved this episode so much!
It had me excited for further developments, but also the development of the fanbase.
Watching the episode I picked out tons of little things.
Button mash was there.
Some Pipsqueak.
Some really cool, unnamed fillies and colts.
But best of all was the development of Diamond Tiara and Silver Spoon.
So many fanons confirmed!
It had me squeeing.
