With great timing on Hasbro's part, we've got Sparky's, Opaline's, and Misty's TYT debut as Hitch gets another crash course in dragon parenting.

Good episode overall, with poor Misty providing most of the comic relief.

And Izzy needs to be distracted by jiggling keys.

This week, holy crap, Sparky saves the day.

This week, cover half of Pipp's face in mud, and her fans don't recognize her. Not like she has a cutie mark or anything.

This week, Zipp gets mad that nopony else wants to beach off with her.

And seriously? Is this Maretime Bay's first heatwave or something?

At least Sunny had some help, and was making bank with the smoothies.

So this week, Season 2 begins with... A bit of a mixed bag, personally. Since our old purple villain is trapped in a tree instead of seeing the light, our heroes confirm that our new purple villain is close to Maretime Bay and... Do nothing about it, hoping she sees the light? Well, to be fair, they alert everyone.

So this week, the Together Tree that trapped Opaline within its roots didn't envelop as much of the castle as we initially thought.

Then a bunch of clubbing Racoonicorns destroy everything.

So, um, is Opaline like dead now? Because now there's nothing left of the castle or tree.

This show is weird.

Throughout my mini-marathon of Make Your Mark Chapter 2 Monday and Tuesday, I had an inkling feeling that it reminded me of Power Rangers.

This morning it clicked.

The show continuously cuts to Opaline's castle, almost always near the end when Misty returns in failure, similar to the cuts to the Moon Palace in Power Rangers.

... Sort of.
I'm not exactly out of hiatus yet, but in the meantime I will be taking down "Dizzy for Izzy" for some major editing...mainly in terms of the flow of the story, minor narrative adjustments, the works.

Forgive me for the trouble...it will be back soon, I promise. Until then, Ta-ta!

P.S. Just saw the new MLP G5 movie...and I just gotta say,

I WANNA MARRY IZZY MOONBOW.🌕🎀

...Another batch of headcanons absolutely demolished.

In case it isn't obvious, the following in-progress stories will not take MYM Chapter 4 into account:
Forgotten: Mists of Bridlewood
Forgotten: The Crystal Princess

I'm really hoping I can buckle down and get those finished before Chapter 5 comes out, whenever that will be.

It has come to my attention that a picture book titled My Little Pony: A New Adventure, which is an adaptation of My Little Pony: A New Generation, has been leaked onto Tumblr:

Well, this was a first; the new episode wasn't out in time for my 10:30 am break.

This week, we get what is probably the best possible origin story for why mayonnaise is a forbidden word.

So this was the second funniest part of the episode, but this is a party, right? Huge Zephyr Heights gathering?

Wouldn't this be a pretty big "the royals can't fly!" moment for the spectators below?

...But not this time.

I've been writing MLP fanfics for over twelve years now, and it always amazes and flatters me to no end when my stories inspire a piece of art, through absolutely no input or commission from me.

"Stick to the smoothies, Sunny."

I think this is the very first time I've found myself agreeing with Posey.

So this episode is a little entertaining, even if it's pure filler at the end of the day.

Don't believe me? Look at this leaked plot I shared in my previous blog:

You know what that means? Apart from a few funny moments, this movie's gonna suck! And I can't wait to riff the Tartarus out of it!

BTW, I read this list:

Hello once more Every Pony,

Well, I was bit by the G5 bug to write something based on the movie so I wrote am idea for a 'deleted scene' that I thought came out not too bad for something so short. I am a big fan of Hitch Trailblazer; the first male character of the franchise that is part of the lead cast of characters and I'm excited to see what the new writers have in store for him.

Hasbro took a step back from the Disney logic of "Princess=Good, Queen=Evil" in the latter stages of Friendship is Magic, as well as G5.

After eight episodes, I look at Opaline and wonder who's going to write her better; the showrunners or the fans.

So far she's reminded me of the Stepmother from Cinderella, the Queen from Snow White, and Mother Gothel from Tangled.
