F/F/T3K15 4/18: He's back. · 3:05am Apr 19th, 2016
And those of you who've been reading since before I joined this outfit know exactly who "he" is.
First of all, we wrapped up "Moonlight." Congrats on persevering there.

You kicked ASS on the last one. And I'm surprised by how many of you stuck it out even through Felix Dawn and Mykan. I know I say it a lot, but you guys are fucking TROOPERS when you wanna be.
Follow the link, sign up, get prepped and get hype for more holiday shenanigans. This year it's being run by someone far more competent than I am, which means shit's gonna be bigger and better than ever before.
Might contain spelling errors even tough I tried to fix a few. Yes i made another one-this episode seemed to have some meat to it even if there wasn't a ton of super-lore I got world building. Yay!
0:48 Rarity....her hat is cool but she is not
1:25 LUNA MAKES UP FOR RARITY ANY DAY
I know I'm rusty, but jeez it still sucks being told the story I wrote didn't do well. I honestly don't know if I should keep going.
Trying my hand at blog-style review posts. Wish me luck!
Given the audience here, this is written assuming the reader has already seen the episode. Which just means it isn't spoiler free (though getting spoiled on this won't affect your enjoyment either way, I'd wager) and skips past a lot of the boring plot stuff.
This episode continues in an unexpected way after the end of last week's episode. Last week, I said how it shows that Twilight has really become like Celestia when it's about putting ponies on the right path because she did that with Rainbow Dash and that she is truly ready to rule Equestria. After this episode now, I'm not so sure anymore if she is ready and I'm questioning if Twilight will really be a good ruler for Equestria.
TWILIGHT: "Yes! Finally, I'm a Princess!"
SPIKE: "...Where's the punchline, Twilight? We're all waiting."
TWILIGHT: "Punchline? I'm a Princess now, Spike. I can't go around tossing out quips and jokey asides."
SPIKE: "But... just last episode you were all snarky and remarking for characters of the day to not come back! What happened?!?"
*Five minutes of ranting later*
*Takes deep breaths* Sorry about that folks, I just needed a moment to compose myself. Anyways, Rainbow Dash is in the midst of coaching Pickle and Barley the basics of flight maneuvers. Which leads us to wonder how their training is coming about.
About as well as we expect.
RAINBOW DASH:"Heh, looking back at this, Twilight, you might say that you needed help learning how to train your dragon!"
TWILIGHT: "Oh, sweet Celestia, reverse my alicornhood and kill me now..."
DISCORD: "Finally! Oh, you silly little ponies have no idea how infuriating it's been to sit on the sidelines while you all deliver uninspired opening zingers! Well, except for Pinkie, that meta one back for 'Feeling Pinkie Keen' and Twilight's response was gold. Now, I can show you all how it's really done - "
REMANE 5: "Surprise!"
RARITY: "Wha...! But, I... what are you all doing here? You're cutting into valuable screentime for me to chew the scenery! I was saving all that for the episode's last third!"
Welp, the shipping shuffle is all set. Digest with caution.
This week's a continuation of My Little Unicorn: OH GOD WHY. Enjoy.
Here are my Afterthoughts for "The Break Up Break Down"! A little bit less than in other weeks, but there are still some interesting observations to be made:
Scribblefest judging is winding down, and I’m working on getting the last few stories judged. Expect some more review posts early next week on the rest of the stories, but I’ll be getting all the rest of them read and judged this evening.
Reminder to those who are participating - I'm but one judge of nine, so my opinions are not the final word on these stories.

This episode almost made me spill my drink on the screen. The reveal that Garble is Smolder's brother came quick, efficiently and merciless. Even after missing the first few minutes of the episode, and therefore all that talk about how Smolder's brother is a softie like Spike, this plot twist still blew my mind. Smolder isn't anything like Garble, how can two dragons who are so different be siblings? One of these apples definitely fell far from the tree. And knowing Garble and looking at his
Sorry we're late, Ring was asleep and that left Crazy and SC276 to put tonight's doc together.
Last week was the start of a horrible, wonderful thing. You guys are so lucky to get to live this. There are a lot of moments in this fic that fall within the first couple chapters that I can't WAIT to inflict upon you.
So, in this episode, there's something that intrigues me and got me thinking the most, but I'll come to that later. First, the obvious elephant dragon in the room..... Sludge. Spike's dad, or, at least what he wanted to make Spike believe he is.
For my readers: My self-imposed break is nearing its end. It will still go a little longer, but I will return to my writing soon after taking care of a few more things.
For what it’s worth, the Mane Six are always ‘beautiful’ in this animation.
