Honestly I've been checked out on Star Wars for a long time: longer than before the new trilogy came around to sour it even further. I mean I technically still write Star Wars, though it's nothing that can be accepted by any ol' fan. For one thing, the Ssi-Ruuk are regularly represented, and another is that they're not presented as their original selves. Still a shame they're so under-utilized in the mythos, only appearing in only two or three books out of the whole EU. What a fine day that

Hi,

Here is the full, official synopsis of the Make Your Mark special:

Months after magic has returned to Equestria, Sunny Starscout and her new pony friends are excited to celebrate their new lives on Maretime Bay Day! But while their group may have adjusted to magic's return, plenty of Unicorns and Pegasi are still having trouble mastering their powers, frustrating the non-magical Earth Ponies who wish to return to how things were before.

Hey readers! Been sort of a quiet week from me, hasn’t it?

Well, I’ll have you know that’s because I’ve been hard at work on both Axtara – Banking and Finance and Starforge. Even better, work on both is coming along nicely.

Story Review #24 A Shimmering Heartbreak —by Spyder27

Reward for winning a competition in the Sunset X Villain competition group and a continuation of the previous story I reviewed making this the logical next step plus I kinda wanted to see where this went.

Disclaimer:
I recommend reading the story and the first one as well along with Story review #23 since this is kind of a continuation of that review since it’s the same saga.

Character’s:
(Theirs a lot to cover)

Story review #26 Milkshakes, Marionettes, and Midnight —by EileenSaysHi

Characters:

Twilight Sparkle: I love her characterization in this story so much it is so incredibly in canon but it somehow makes her more human the way she tries to check on the Milkshakes or tries walking to the bathroom to avoid confrontation and blames everything on herself being weak is wonderfully written. I also love her awkward Adorakble dynamic with shiny.

Usually don't bother doing a blog post about episodes because I don't have much to say, but given the storyline significance of the episode and the fact it is the 5th anniversary I guess it makes sense.

In case the title didn't clue you in then warning, spoilers ahead.

Bon Bon: I really can't believe it. Your darkest secret is that you ate my oats? Really?
Lyra: Yup!
Bon Bon: So you haven't done ANYTHING worse than that?
(Lyra's expression goes blank, the vague sounds of helicopters and machine guns in the background)
Oh dear sweet Celestia! They blew off my hooves! I can't feel a thing!
Don't worry! I gotcha! I gotcha!
O-Oh fff... Lyra... a-am I gonna be okay? What's happening?
(gun cocking) D-Don't worry... I g-got you...

So I'm going to be getting a start on my Christmas animation after Halloween has come and gone, and so before Halloween arrives I want to get to work drafting up some ideas for what my Christmas animation will be. However, I've got a few ideas for what I want to do, but I don't know if they would be good enough to be worth anyone's attention. So what I thought I will do is put one or two of the ideas I've had in my head for the past week in this blog post, and see what you guys and gals think

Okay, so, I'm not coughing up as much blood as before, and as such, I do plan on getting back to writing. It turned out to be my allergies double-teaming me with their good old friend the Flu. Got to love allergies, right? At least now know the blood loss is not from my throat, as all this phlegm has resulted in a bit of dehydration that's caused some nosebleeds. Well anyway, now that I've managed to get into a better state medically, even if I'm still hacking, my silly little brain came up

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.

Nobody deserves things. Nobody at all.

Let me back this up. I've been seeing on the internet recently some spirited discussion about whether certain redemption moments -- and "redemption" moments -- in a recent popular television series were "deserved." I also had this argument with someone on a fanfic, whether a character "deserved" to be forgiven for their horrible trespasses.

Let me elucidate a point of personal philosophy.

1. Chancellor Neighsay - His racist and disrespectful remarks about non-ponies and his belief that they cannot attend school because of their species make my blood boil. Even though he realized the error of his ways, I simply cannot forgive him for the absolute bigotry that he has displayed.
