Remember that time when Just For Sidekicks and Games Ponies Play portrayed overlapping events?

Remember Starlight Glimmer? Remember how she's a thing that's part of the show now?

Remember how the writers pretty much forgot all about that?

Well...here's your goddamn Starlight Glimmer episode!

Twilight FINALLY gets summoned by the map!

I don't really have much to say about this one. It was a pure feels episode with a moral about being true to yourself. It was touching, it was low-key, there was almost no comedy.

Next week is the season finale.

You know, this season's gonna be really confusing on Netflix, with so many episodes being shown out of production order...

Anyway, Rarity pulls a hat trick today with the third episode in a row that focuses on her, even though this episode is actually a Rarity/Applejack episode.

With the return of Coco Pommel!

Twilight's so bored she's blowing raspberries at books. That's wacky.

Poor Twilight got snubbed by the map again.

Rarity's having a citygasm!

I feel this may be the last season. We get a lot of messages of change, such as Twilight getting a student, the cutie mark crusaders evolving, and I feel it is going be like this quite a bit. I am happy about this, and a little sad I won't lie, I'll have one less thing to complain about if I'm right. Yes I can always complain about family guy but wheres the variety if I lose all the shows I like to complain about?!

Meh.

Preface: Because of the iTunes leak a while back, most of us have already seen this episode. As such, this will be slightly different and slightly more detailed than my usual stream-of-consciousness write-ups.

I'MMA BOUT TO DROP A BOMB ON YOU GUYS! SPOILERS FOR SEASON 6!!!!

So there's a new season 7 promo running on DFC. Took a bit for someone to get this up on Derpibooru, but:

Apparently this is from S7E03. Looks like this is a pretty wacky episode. I can't wait for the context on this one.

Equivalent exchange. To obtain something, something equal must be lost. That is alchemy's first law. In those days, we really believed that to be the world's one and only truth...

So the hiatus is apparently ending a little sooner than expected.

Season 5 episode 14 will air on September 12, followed by S5E15 the following week.

In which the downward spiral that is season 8 produces yet another immense turd to clog up the friendship toilet.

Well, this makes blog number three today. Of course my personal record is four blogs in one day. Now where was I?

Oh yeah! This popped up on my YouTube recommendations a few minutes ago and I thought I'd share it.

Can we please skip the next five weeks?

First, and rather not so subtly,

SEASON 6 IS HERE! OMIGOSHOMIGOSHOMIGOSH!!! EEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!!
*cue irrational spontaneous combustion due to unreasonable levels of hype*

Hehe, sorry.

I hope they're safe and happy for all of you!

Sorry for the overplayed choice of Christmas song this year, but do I love this song, and couldn't think of any other, better choice.

And a happy New Year as well!

In which Twilight Sparkle accidentally ignites a flame war.

I just saw a clip from season 7 on facebook. It featured Celestia and Twilight sitting at a table together. Twilight is talking about how Celestia sent her to ponyville and realising it's time for her to send Starlight away too.

I really don't know what to think about this.

Celestia only sent Twilight to Ponyville to help prepare for the summer sun celebration. It was Twilight who decided to stay with her friends.

Okay, so. Naomi Novik's Temeraire series are fun enough, as they're basically "Horatio Hornblower meets Pern," but those books kind of pale in comparison to her feminist take on fairy tales, Uprooted. Rightly lauded when it came out, Uprooted has a lot of cool stuff going on, subverting various tropes-- and even subverting the subversions of those tropes, and--
