I find myself in an interesting situation that I can only describe as a multilevel backlog. The first one, the new Netflix content, will last me until the end of November. The one after that, all the Tell Your Tale shorts and comics that will accrue in that time, will see me through mid-January. And all the stuff I already had planned? December of next year.

Let’s begin.

G5:
So far, G5's Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark has been interesting. I have about 8 episodes that I really like from TYT, but as far as MYM, I'm slowly getting into it.

The themes and story are a little toned down comparably to G4, but I'm still interested in seeing it through.

Accessories of Evil:

The face you make when your sister said: Just don't mess up my hair, okay?

AND...

Hours later and she's still...

Just pretend that it's a brother and sister, obviously.

Fair warning before I get into this, there will be mentions of politics in this Blog Post. If you don’t wish to read all that, you have been warned.

I wasn’t originally going to do this, but after seeing both FOX News and The Daily Mail talk about G5, as well as my “friend” from school apparently writing a review on it, I figured I’d get into it sooner or later.

At this point, we’re getting into genuine first reactions on my part. Between other demands on my time and insufficient engagement, I just haven’t been binging G5. Honestly, I have a hard time just sitting and watching my entertainment anymore. Plus, there’s something to be said for a weekly release schedule giving the fandom time to digest each episode.

In any case, let’s take a look.

When the show writers screw you over so hard that the fans give you a break:

So. When I put this on the schedule, I thought it would just be a single special, like Winter Wishday. I wasn’t expecting Make Your Mark Season 2 to come with it. As such, it’s looking like a G5 summer. Let’s get this party started.

My adherence to the Old Ways continues (by which I mean treating a Netflix content dump like the episodes are coming out weekly.) Let’s see what new wonders and horrors, if any, await.

Hello,

I apologize, I have to delay the chapter until tomorrow. I just want to put some finishing touches on this chapter as it is (supposed to be) the last one of story arc # 3! I have the next few chapters planned out and I don't expect there to be many changes if any, so there should not be any more delays for at least the month of July.

That's it. Happy start of summer, everybody!

Cheers!

Huh. You’d think the episodes about stealing cutie marks would’ve covered Starlight’s secrets. Let’s see what else we can pin on Old Equestria’s Handicapper General. Maybe it’s time travel!

Just for one day this time! New chapter up tomorrow - Pinkie Promise. I have been putting in some time day by day but a few snags at the end of last week meant I couldn't put in as much time as I wanted. I will get this whole writing schedule thing sorted out and be back next week on time. I swear! I could rush out the new chapter this evening, but I do not want quality to suffer.

Cheers

We return to the comics, where a conveniently timed one-shot helps me schedule the five-issue Milkyway storyline. Let’s see just what how we're closing out 2023.

Christmas is approaching fast, and what I'm hoping, aiming and certain to bring to you soon, followers, is the end of The End of an Era, marking the conclusion of my Friendship is Magic series finale rewrite, the biggest project I've tackled and brought this far. Chapter 16 (Part 4 - Chapter 4) will be the last to cover my overhaul of The Ending of the End, and after that, an epilogue will follow to put a bow on top of the package. I doubt it's a spoiler on any level to mention that the

Hey, guys. Mr. J here.

Just so you're aware, I am planning to return to MLP G5: both watching Tell Your Tale and Make Your Mark. Now, I don't remember if I ever told you all about this, but I did inform some of y'all that I've given up hope for G5 because the episodes I watched around that time (two years ago) were so forgettable and boring.

Greetings again, readers! I decided to make a blog post elaborating on some of my future plans for My Little Pony storytelling, some current activity and a few thoughts I've developed in long time I've spent making The End of an Era. I hope I don't keep you here for too much time.

Ten years of card games. And friendship. Quite the milestone. And just in time for the last wave of Make Your Mark content, which…

… Huh. Well.

As of today, it has been a whole month since I wrapped up The End of an Era (Series Finale Rewritten). I want to say that while I'm (mostly) content with what I wrote (and modified) for that story, and I've voiced the multitude of complaints I have with The Ending of the End, the episode it's based on, in the Author's Notes, I still feel like after all these years, I need to construct a single place to put all of what I've said together and convey my full feelings of that two-parter in one,

Recently I've been thinking a lot about what's wrong with My Little Pony's newest generation. Or, well, about why I didn't like it, because different people value different things in art, and what is important to some others can easily ignore. And the first aspect I want to analyse is how "My Little Pony: A New Generation" tries to talk about politics and avoid it at the same time.

As “The Blockywockys” showed, seaponies never stopped being a thing. Whether they’re the same thing in this comic as Destiny the underwater friendship bracelet weaver remains to be seen. Let’s dive in and find out.

So, this upcoming week is Spring Break. I'm doing HTTYD3, hopefully horseback, and buying a birthday gift for a friend. Now that that's out of the way.
