I waffled on whether or not to post this blog because after I finished it, as I felt like it had served its purpose as the only form of journaling that I’ve enjoyed. Plus, it’s like therapy for me. Then, as I was perusing YouTube, I came across a video.

Time for another editorial/review/commentary-thingy! (I really need to come up with a name for these things). As usual, the contents of this will spoil pretty much the entire story, so if you haven’t read it, go away and read it before you go any further.

Don’t make me bring out the pickle barrel.

I’ll do it. I WILL!

I write because it helps me think things through. I can walk around for days or years, accumulating a big tangle of half-formed thoughts, but it's not until I sit down and try to channel them into a story that they start to cohere.

So, for some crazy reason, I suddenly have a few more followers than I did about a week ago. Oh yeah, probably because I wrote this thing.

We Don't Talk About Captain Thunderhoof is complete, and I wanted to share some thoughts about it. If you haven't read it yet—possibly because you like to wait until after stories are finished to read them—go check it out before reading this blog, as it assumes you're already familiar with everything and is riddled with unmarked spoilers.

That went well! Read on for details and a proposal at the end.

Grrrrrrrrreetings everypony! My name is Mystic Mind, an ex-youtube pony analyst turned fimfic writer. And you know what? I miss the whole analysis shindig. So, I have set myself a challenge: review and analyse every single episode of my Little Pony: Friendship is magic. Some may be shorter, some may be longer, and not all will fill a video's length (which I won't be doing anyway 'cause I hate video editing). But they will perhaps give some good perspective and some new details that may

Good afternoon folks.

Novel Idea here. I've got something a little different in store for you today. As you all know, last week was our One Year Anniversary Celebration. There are actually a couple things we still have in the works for that but weren't quite ready and still aren't as of yet, but when they are, you'll know. Oh boy, you'll know.

Today, we have another fandom touchstone episode, Dragonshy! Without wasting any more time, let's get on with the analysis!

I know, I know, it's a little late for a retrospective blog. Heck, I think it's almost January 2nd just west of the International Date Line. But I wanted to write this both in 2016 and after getting a good night's sleep. Read on for a look back and a look forward, especially if you read the Friendship is Card Games series.

It's the sixth anniversary of Pony Gear Solid, or as near to it as we'll get without the original Google documents. You know what that means...!

This topic has been in my mind for the last weeks, to the point that I'm having an existencial crisis and most of the time I look like this:

I've been thinking about if so often, that the conclusions are existentialist-like. Join me in this trip throughout the age of adolescence.

Welp, that was fun, huh? I know for most of you, the season ended earlier thanks to the Australian broadcast, but I didn't have the luxury of checking that out. Also, I'd rather do things by the book.

So, seeing as the theme of this season was school, I figured it would be fitting to give it a report card to show how much it managed to achieve. Follow me below the break and see my final grade.

So. The Tantabus series. The stories that really put me on the map. Several people have said that Moondog is their favorite OC in the fandom. As of this writing, two of the four stories are in the top ten rated stories of all time on the entire site, another is in the top twenty, and the last is in the top thirty. The first is inching towards three thousand likes. How the Tantabus Parses Sleep is the longest single thing I’ve written and still ongoing.
