Friendship is Card Games: Moonstuck, Pt. 2 · 5:58pm Aug 30th, 2022
Now that I’ve returned from and thoroughly described Everfree Northwest, it’s time to make up for lost time. After all, keeping Luna waiting on the moon rarely ends well.

Happy Boxing Day! Needless to say, this one was prepped in advance. I appreciate all of you, but I’m not spending Christmas Day writing a card blog. Besides, who wants last minute gifts?
This week, we return to Trailblazer and company as they explore the exotic land of Midgard. (No, it’s not an FF7 crossover.)
We return to another tale twisted by the teller. And this one was pretty twisted to begin with. Time for one of the iconic memes of early pony.
It’s the Sunday after Thanksgiving in the States. And Black Friday, for that matter. So, let’s commemorate both with a tale of mistreated, overworked laborers and be grateful that most Equestrias aren’t like it.
I could look at the next issues of Generations for this week, but I have something fun planned for New Year’s Day that requires me to skip over the comics for a cycle. As such, let’s see why everything is bigger and eight.
Happy Father’s Day! Today’s pony media is sadly unrelated. Well, hopefully unrelated. If Lost Carcosa reminds you of your father, that’s a matter for you and your therapist. In any case, let’s close out Rainbow Dash Presents.
This one feels… odd. I’ve met ROBCakeran53 in person, and I know well how much he doesn’t want to be associated with this story. Though, to be fair, you could hardly say that's what we'll be discussing...
Looks like that initial burst of Tell Your Tale shorts was just to set the tone, and they’ve pulled back to a one-per-week schedule. Given that, let’s look at what was going to go up last week, wherein reality ensues for a particular pink pony’s pancreas.
This week, we’re putting ourselves four degrees away from the source material. It’s a card blog based on a video based on a story based on a song based on FiM. Let’s get going.
The Mentally Advanced Series can be thought of as the Pepsi to Friendship is Witchcraft’s Coke; same concept, different execution, each with their supporters. I personally prefer FiW; MAS gets unpalatably cruel over time, especially once it’s no longer shackled to FiM’s visuals. But there is one offshoot, the Schweppes ginger ale of this analogy, where my tastes shift.
Remember how I said it felt like the zebra homeland story is missing a chapter? That’s because it is. Turns out the Free Comic Day comic was the real Season 10 premiere. However, that’s just one issue, and this is still a card blog as much of a review. So, on the cusp of one contest’s deadline, we’ll turn to another.
Happy Halloween! We’re skipping ahead a bit on Rainbow Dash Presents given the holiday. Somewhere Only We Know is a disquieting story at times, but not really scary. Besides, what’s Nightmare Night without Luna?
This week, we take a dip into metahorror. And the scariest thing of all is that I had to make an unscheduled addition to today’s material!
As the title implies, we're closing out the overview of Minty Root’s work with a pair of music videos and an expanded Anthology short.
15.ai is both a triumph of machine learning and a power too great for mortal men. With just a few minutes of sampled audio, it can produce fairly convincing sentences in that voice. And part of its training data was Friendship is Magic.
Yes, with Rainbow Dash Presents exhausted, we turn to a much more recent fan episode, one voiced synthetically. Let’s see how it turns out.
