I have much to write about Rainbow Roadtrip, but before I tackle its themes, message, or emotional content, I want to take a moment to draw attention to some subtle characterization that was, in and of itself, profound.
Trixie: Wow, I heard the whole thing, and all I can say is, I am humbled.
Starlight: Uh, why?
Trixie: I hadn’t even considered it, but hearing you say it out loud made me realize what a great and powerful vice headmare I’ll be! Plus, we get to work and socialize at the same time!
I wanted to give you guys this post because for some reason...it sort of clicked in my head that there were some episodes of MLP: FiM’s eighth and ninth season that hold no mentioning or share a certain element of continuity with the other episodes of those seasons. I figured it’d be fun to show you guys what episodes I found that can very much be considered prequels to both those seasons and the movie.
So, without further ado, here they are:
I just saw the second season 9 trailer. And now my panic attack has returned in force!

All good things must come to an end I guess, it hurts me so much to know that season 9 is pretty much done and looking back at the memories i've shared with not only the fandom but ones I've held onto from the TV series has me at my breaking point. I cannot hold it together knowing all these years of watching the TV series moving through its arc, all the stories and tales I've shared, good and bad memories all come to a close with Episode 26 and I just watched it a second time through my own
Gonna tell you right off the bat, I loved this one. Then again, it's pretty hard to go wrong when Patton Oswalt is guest-starring. Plus, the whole background with Oswalt's daughter playing Windy Sprint and all is super sweet. And again, we have an ep that you could easily slot into an earlier season (well, as long as that season was later than the obvious continuity nods, of course).
Warning: Season-wide spoilers abound. Proceed with caution.
I need to write this while the emotions of the finale are still fresh in my mind. Though the stories will continue in the comics (and countless fanfics, I'm sure), this is truly the end of an animation era. So, as a final season, did it go out with a bang, or a whimper? Follow me below the break to see my take.
Let’s get this over with.
Or, what does Starlight Glimmer do with her day.
Man. Been a busy last couple of days. Which, well, it's been FUN stuff busy, which is good ... but at the same time I'm like socialized out, or something. Spent most of the day doing not much of anything, which ... well, sometimes that's what ya need to do, right?
Also watched some pone.
