Why does everyone assume we can only write reformation fics for the villains that are set in the distant future?

Just because Discord* said "together forever" doesn't mean Twilight and her friends, who have reformed so many, would wait decades to try reforming them. Not, when one of them isn't a millennia-old immortal, but a filly.

Well, that was a big item off the ol' wish list, wasn't it?

Right now, EqD is running a poll on concepts for future episodes their readers would like to see. A lot Some of the ideas are good, but it seems like so many common fan-wishes have come true--especially this season--that we're now scraping the barrel for great ideas that haven't been used. So I want to hear what you still want to see.

Just a little something I thought I’d share with you. You all just know this was inspired by Castle Sweet Castle, one of my favorite episodes of Season 5. And a big high-hoof to Scribbler for the voices!

The plot twist in The Ending of The End where Grogar and Discord are one and the same entity is just distasteful and unsatisfactory. To add insult to injury, Chrysalis, Tirek, and Cozy Glow were turned to stone as punishment for their crimes. I feel like this is the worst 2-parter I've ever seen in the show.

Legion of Doom story, Magical Difficulties, will premiere around 9:00pm EST. Stay tuned, folks!

Well, it’s the final Tales From the Trash Bin… Maybe? I dunno, maybe I’ll try another one shot and stop halfway through and just put it here. Only time will tell. I do still have that unfinished one-shot stalker story, and I could post it here if I just lose interest in it… Eh, I’ll probably post it on my blog.

For reasons known only to themselves, Nintendo doesn't really go in for creating new characters; in the Legend of Zelda games at least, once a character's been added, we're stuck with them for the next thirty years...

Except that, when I started working on a list, this turned out not to be true. I've played too much Hyrule Warriors.

Something occurred to me earlier, regarding School Raze. I should also warn that this might be one of those things that once you start thinking about it, you can't stop. So, just in case, below a break.

"Common Ground" may have been written to mirror the situation of its guest stars as well as with them in mind. "Sparkle's Seven" may have been a fitting tribute to the 5 actresses that did a lot to make the show's main characters as endearing and entertaining as they have been over the years. But they are, in the end, behind-the-scenes stuff that might not be instantly, aggressively obvious within the episodes alone (okay, Sparkle's Seven clearly feels unique when watching it; point still

Although coming out of a completely different thread, https://www.fimfiction.net/group/50/the-writers-group/thread/464939/how-would-you-reinvent-an-mlp-villain-for-a-darker-storyline this could arguably be called a vague "evil counterpart" to my earlier "Mane 6 at Full Power" blog.

So I saw the potential gen 5 leaks and in my personal opinion don't like it. The main reason is Twilight, she is an earth pony in the picture and I just don't see it working. Twilight being an Alicorn is something that I loved, and to see that taken away in the potential gen 5 leaks, is very off putting to the point that I want to quit the fandom and never return, but I will give it a chance and see if they can make it work, not just for Twilight, but for all the characters. If they can't

Care to make the Twilight vs Tirek fight awesome AND hilarious? Play the Juggernaut's theme from Deadpool 2 as soon as the battle gets to 1:34.

All the duplicate fights have been completed for Chapter 3 of "The Secret of Harmony". Now all that's left is one more confrontation, some parts afterwards, the usual proofreading, and the chapter will be ready for publishing!

I'M DEEPLY SORRY FOR TAKING SO LONG TO WRITE THIS CHAPTER. Hopefully, when I do the others, they won't be as bad.

So with that out of the way, any predictions as to what might happen in these fights?

Here it is, round 3, featuring all the major villains from MLP:FiM. No antagonists, since that's insane. They've gotta be major threats in the season premiers and/or finales. Also, I didn't include Sunset Shimmer, simply because... well... I'm not a fan of the Equestria Girls series, and I don't really think it's cannon, even if the Sirens did appear in the Season 7 finale. Also, I didn't do the Pony of Shadows, simply because the POS is more like Venom, and doing something cannon for him is

"Frenemies" is finally here! The long-awaited episode to see more of Grogar's plan! And, wow, it dropped SO MUCH epic stuff on us! And it delivered a lot of interesting hints what could await us in the future and what we might see in the season finale.

Nightmare Moon
Pros: Well developed yet open to interpretation, (eldritch horror or knight templar?) strong visual design, interesting goals, seriously heartwrenching
Cons: Undermines self, hamminess hard to take seriously at times
#1

Discord
Pros: Incredibly charismatic, pretty funny depending on the writer, rather competent, interesting goals
Cons: Conceptually flawed reformation, villain decay, humor sometimes makes him difficult to take seriously
#6
