Time to get started on the backlog that’s accrued over the course of my Chapter 4 review. Given the side comics coming down the pike, I have mostly G5 planned until mid-September. But first, it’s time to see what the shorts have been doing.
Merry Christmas Eve! I can’t promise any legendary Elf Artificers in this blog, but I can promise the end of Tell Your Tale, Season 1. Depending on how you feel about it, that might be even better.
This week, we check back in on Maretime Bay to see what the newest generation has been up to for the last month. Let’s begin.
Timing’s a funny thing. Once again, two months of waiting for enough G5 content to accrue has led to two weeks looking at goings-on in Maretime Bay, with the final short and comic both coming out this week. Let’s begin.
A sequel to my nighttime thoughts form. This may include headcanons and theories that I would like to share as well.
Well, I didn’t see this coming. I was expecting one short a week for a while, but we got a solid twenty minutes of new pony on Thursday. Let’s see what we’re working with.
Back to Tell Your Tale this week, and the seasonal/holiday continues off and on. Let’s start catching up to the current point on the calendar.
With the last of the 3D content covered, we reach the second layer of my backlog, all the Tell Your Tale shorts and comics that have come out in the interim. Like the tortoise ahead of Achilles, some of what I’ll cover hasn’t even come out yet. Let’s start catching up.
Once again, there’s enough G5 material in the hopper for two weeks of contemporary card blogs. Let’s begin with the Tell Your Tale backlog. Rest assured that I’ll have plenty to say about the comics next week.
As stated last week, enough new content arrived for two consecutive G5 card blogs. Crazy, I know. Let’s see what Maretime Bay’s been up to when not being consumed by the void.
So, this is a rather interesting circumstance. My math on Tell Your Tale releases was off, and I can (and will) in fact do the penultimate TYT blog this week…but there’s a catch.
That moment when an actual PonyCon keeps its family-friendly image in line (least until the after-hours events), whereas the TV-Y show somehow let a body pillow slip through.
I was starting to brainstorm my own G5 haunted house tale, and now you've gone and stolen my thunder!
...Oh well, I hadn't gotten super far with it and honestly their version is better than what little I had come up with anyway.
Back to the drawing board, then.
The summer of G5 continues with another batch of Tell Your Tale (though given the comic backlog, I’ll won’t get to the next G4 content until the end of September. There’s a climate change joke in there somewhere.) Let’s dive in.
Zipp: "That better not be your attempts to provide non-verbal summaries of your reactions to our new webseries. So help me, if it's a joke…"
Zipp: "Okay, so here's how you practise using a tranquilliser. You find an easily-distracted target – I recommend diva sisters, though crafts-obsessed ditzy unicorns work equally well – make up some excuse for them to pose, and then, let them have it!
Sunny Starscout: "Um, Izzy? Do you remember that little talk we had about reining in the glitter? I just got not conjuring the stuff when I alicorn it up under control…"
Kelly Sheriden is nothing if not a method actor. Bereft of a TV-Y rating, Starlight (least, in Season Five) would totally make a cutthroat gesture. And get applause for it.
Ha! Told you AJ would get worn down over the weekend and relent to giving me a ride.
