Yeah, that's me, Scootaloo. I'm sure you're wondering how I got into this situation. Well, it all started with.....

And from the ashes she rose, the filly who was thought dead, and her eyes leaked the soot that were her remains. "Cozy Glow is real" she said, over and over again. And it was the last thing they ever heard.....
It seems that fandom drama is not healthy for the writing spirit. Especially not if said drama has been started by an extremist cult leader on Twitter and his followers and if it endangers one of the most important bastions in our fandom and causes an unspeakable amount of pony art to disappear forever.
Some folks have been writing some interesting stories lately.
Clearly, that means it is time for some reviews before I dig into grading tests.
Today’s stories:
The One Who Got Away by Jay-The-Brony
Trav(ap)est(r)y by Estee
Discourse on Fillies by Daedalus Aegle
Just A Pony by Godzillawolf
When We Were Young by naturalbornderpy

"A Matter of Principals" introduced us to a nice little bit of worldbuilding for Equestria: Arcane Detectors!
Well, what do you know, this episode delivers on not one, but many things I said just last episode we were in dire need of by this point. Of course, how well it executes said things can only be found out by looking at the episode itself. Best to do just that.
I have some news about my Patreon and Ko-fi account to announce today. First, to start with the biggest one, I will go and redesign both accounts. I have started them in 2019, with tiny success so far, but I also was in a mentally bad state when I made a push for earning money with my stories in that year. My writing was, compared to what it is again now, a mess back then, my mental condition affected the quality of it and it also showed in the way I was going about designing my Patreon and
I was just scrolling through Twitter until the new G5 album is coming up next month:

Hope you had fun with those crossovers. Some of those sounded like they hurt.
...oh, fuck me. Fuck me with a belt sander. I just looked at the link for your new one. It's Mykan. It's Starfleet.
As the title says, I won't release a new chapter for "Princess Flurry Heart, Destroyer of Worlds!" this week. This week, I want to write a one-shot based on the new episode and since I don't have an idea how long it will be yet, I will probably not have time to write anything else this week.
I have given Flurry Heart priority actually and wouldn't replace a new chapter for her fic with something else usually, but.....
Remember all those times that Pinkie Pie randomly referenced human culture with lazy pun names in the show? Remember that time she tried to hold an entire conversation with nothing but the most painfully obvious pop culture references? Remember all those times she was more cringingly self-aware than the Animaniacs on their worst days? What about that time where she just randomly stopped, looked around, and said "I'm in a cartoon show", "I think that's a little complex for the target audience",
Here is just a little update about my donation page that I set up recently.
Thorax stepped out of his new room, his best smile on his face. However, no sooner had he stepped through the door did his hoof slip on something soft, and he found himself getting close and personal with the hard wooden flooring, face first and with a loud thud. He groaned as he lifted his head, a slight daze enveloping his mind. There were sounds of muffled childish giggles close by. Shaking his head as he stood back up on to all fours, Thorax turned to his side and was met with the
Everyone does favourite pony or favourite episode lists, so I thought I’d try something slightly different and make a list of my favourite moment for each pony. These are mostly judged on the strength of my positive reaction to them. So, in some cases, it’s a moment that I think best shows their character, and in others it’s them doing something funny or awesome.
Last week's vote has been tallied. Starting in October, we will be riffing Mr. Enter's fic... but we're looping back to the runner-up, my own work, in November.
The last few several minutes of my day, a dramatization:
"Huh, I never expected my little Discord oneshot to do so well. Featured Box is cool enough, but this is the fifth day with it in there. People like their draconequus shenanigans, I guess. I'm curious about the analytics, though; I wonder if my TV Tropes page for the Eventide Verse is actually bringing in any fresh clicks..."
Click.
Yo, what's up, Kemosabes?
This is your friendly film, TV show, and episode reporter here with another review.
Today, for the 3rd analysis of my "Spook Spectacular", I'm gonna give you guys my take of Disney's "Raya and the Last Dragon".
Here's the rundown of this tale:
The day is here, the moment has come. I just relaunched my Patreon account and my Ko-fi account, after an intense optimization process and completely reworking them. The links to both accounts are now available on my userpage again, at the top and to the right where they used to be, with different descriptions that reflect the changes.
