Here's some thoughts of the tip of my head:

- Starlight Glimmer is an idiot. Instead of using her time spell to make sure her "friend" didn't get his cutie mark, she goes for unnecessary and overblown vengeance.
Consideration:
Magical communism born from jealousy and fear?
Where have we heard something similar before, hmm?

- Twilight Sparkle and her friends are essential to the existence of Equestria.
Consideration:

Things are going well, not much of an interesting month to be fair but eh. Anyway, my thoughts on G5 are mixed. I mean the characters are alright in the movie but in Make Your Mark they're uh yeah. I can't stand new Hitch, they did my boy dirty. Where is his backbone!? Seriously. And Pipp well I don't like pop very much. The only song I can stand was Portrait Day, cause it wasn't pop music.

I FINALLY WATCHED FRIENDSHIP GAMES

That header really speaks for itself. Yeah, yeah. Call me a scrub or whatever. I have no excuse. Due to a combination of busy and apathy (and refusing to until I'd finished S5, which I did a couple months ago, so I could see FG in its proper position in the timeline – kinda like EQG1 and its prequel comic), I did not watch Friendship Games. Until tonight.

Thoughts below the jump.

Bland cliche "Blank Slate" characters are like balls of dough.

(Warning: Could be considered a bit of a rant actually. Was really trying not to make it sound like one though.)

The regrettable thing about writing stories is, there's so much you want to put into them.

You have characters that you want to show the good and bad sides of. Heroes that you want to overcome their weaknesses, villains whose motivations you want to explain, all the failings and triumphs that come with the journey from beginning to end.

This is more of a rant. Jump to the arrow if you dont care.

So yesterday I was joking with my girlfriend and a few others and she asked a question to me asking if she was greedy. Jokingly I said yes, which she took personally. Now I apologized and even got her some of her favorite candy, but that doesn't make up for what I said. I still feel guilty and I am yet to receive a 'thank you I forgive you' for my apology. So yeah...

So I saw the unfair side of the internet some today. I usually do a pretty good job of keeping my nose out of trouble, but it seems like I didn't this time. I was on a subreddit for DC comics because I really enjoy them recently, but anyways there was a thread about an article on the upcoming Harley Quinn project: Gotham City Sirens movie. I mentioned, like others did, concerns about them race swapping characters since Hollywood does that. I went further and mentioned how they will also

I've been driving for just about a year now, and in that short time, I've encountered many a dumbass on the road. This is a given, and with almost 125,000 cars registered in Ireland as of December 2015, it's inevitable that you're going to run into some eejits here and there. But still, they have a way of getting to you, don't they?

It really bugs me when people go throwing around the term "unnatural" as if it even meant anything. As though it were some kind of unforgivable crime to not be a product of "nature" as they define it. Listening some years ago to someone discussing what "natural" even means and the inconsistencies in when and how we apply the word actually led me to reevaluate and rework my own views. To heavily paraphrase it (it's been a very long time):

...Displaced fics.

Regarded as the worst thing to ever offend the internet at large after Diaper Fics by most of the writing community, one has to wonder, what is the actual appeal of writing something that—outside of a specific group of people—is going to be universally hated on sight? Quality doesn't matter if people don't give it a chance.

The flaws of Displaced fics are easily pointed out and listed as generalities:

Greetings my Brony Brethren!

I’m sure you’re all waiting with baited breath for my reviews of the Equestria Girls specials Dance Magic, Movie Magic, and Mirror Magic...

Oh, who am I kidding?! None of you are waiting for my reviews of anything! Well, maybe one of you, but whatever.

I've been meaning to do this for a while but I've kept putting it off. I just lost some of my juice in continuing Transformares The Movie (Don't worry it's not gonna be cancelled) because it managed to ebb itself little by little to the front of my skull, so I'm gonna do this now before it consumes my soul too.

Fuck. Michael. Bay.

This man.

IN WHICH MY LIFE GETS FLIP-TURNED
Upside down. Yes, I went there. No, I'm not sorry. I wasn't expecting to write another blogpost so soon, but I just wanted to let y'all know that a capital offense has been provisionally completed. I still need to go back and edit it because I already found a mistake, but I'll do that later. In the meantime...

All these horse famous writers and they’re universally adored gives and FUCKING FIGHT ME WHY AREN’T I HORSE FAMOUS.

IN WHICH I DEAL WITH MINOR LOSS
Well, Orangeglow didn't make nearly the impact I hoped it would. I lost a couple of followers over it -- one of whom I assume is my downvote fairy, leaving their nasty red mark without a word before fecking off (of course I've done that too, so who am I to judge?). This is the second story of mine in a row to get basically no reception, which is disappointing to say the least. Is my writing really that boring?

So there will be another squeal to the story which I think 'Stealing The Riche's Jewels could've gone better but apparently the people who don't write any stories at all on their profile but act like they know everything about stories think it was bad. Well I'm really not in the mood for hate now cause I've seen some of the stories that are on here and they it with random names but the minute I write something like this I've gone too far. Well joke's on you, take a look around there are too

See its one thing to give constructive criticism it's another to be entirely disrespectful and a fucking asshole in someone's comment section just because they aren't the best at editing.

I work hard on my stories and do my best with editing but I has ADHD and can't catch every single error that pops up.

So if your gonna be a grammar Nazi? Go the fuck away I don't want you or your support here.

May be humans should stop/pause/fade out writing specific castrated (for children) literature, and instead try to explain good adult (and for me definition of adult key-based on thinking, not age) themes for actual childrens, for example by telling from memory. Some shrinking will happen automagically. Sci-fi tales looks good, but only if you include remark about current situation with science - it all rotten to the core, because humans who do it currently not better than average humans, and

Hello everyone; I apologize in advance because I'm gonna go political again. But again I feel it important to point out exactly what sort of mindset is running our government. You may or may not have heard about how the current administration is considering excluding transgender persons from civil rights protections, expecting citizens to identify as either male or female and nothing in between. Now whether you believe transgenderism is a thing or not, this consideration of the Trump

So I'm really not one for sappy nonsense, you may have noticed.

Which begs the question of why the fuck I'm writing this because I think it's pretty clear to anyone with a functioning brain that this is going to be an exercise in sappy nonsense. Well the best answer I can give you is that people get sappy as they get older, and self-reflective, and with the show ending I felt it was almost a duty of mine to say something even if that something is probably fucking worthless.
