I don't know if this is because that there's been a long hiatus, or if this was just excellent, but I loved this freaking episode. And I have some things to say about it. Here are my thoughts on season 5's triumphant return and this week's episode, Canterlot Boutique.
Spoilers. You've been warned.
So you are all aware of the Midnight Sparkle Friendship Games toy that has been in shelves for a while now. According to some, it represents Sci Twi corrupted with magic.
Now, I'd like to draw your attention to the toy's packaging.
Look at the background. What do you see?
Ponyville and CHS in some sort of rift.
Now I want you to reread PEG for me one more time.
Yeah, same thing.
So, some of you may remember that a month ago, DRWolf was kind enough to do a dramatic reading of The Stars Ascendant.
DRWolf has done a dramatic reading of The Stars Ascendant. I have been thrilled with how much everyone has enjoyed that story, and just today, the story passed 1000 upvotes and 6000 views… at the same time. It has also once more ascended into the top ten rated stories on the site; we'll see how long it stays there this
What's this? A blog post? Couldn't be, not from me.
Anyway, to justify this out-of-character move a little more, I had a few words to say on Alicorn Ascentionism (and the Plotholes therein), and a few comments I wanted to respond to in a more substantial way, so hey, here we are! Let's get to it.
It’s a big boi, currently coming in at just shy of 12k words as I bring the bonus material back in for a soft landing to merge it with the original material. This means long-awaited awakenings, revelations, continued intrigue, and coping against a backdrop of an ongoing crisis with the Russian Federation Ibexian Ascendancy.
Midnight29 was cool enough to do a reading of The Stars Ascendant today. Thanks, Midnight!
For those of you who haven't been stalking me since 2014, The Stars Ascendant was my first super-popular story:
Many years ago, back in the dawn times of 2014, I wrote The Stars Ascendant. It was a pretty popular story, and DRWolf did a reading of it.
Flash forward to 2017, and I run into DRWolf at Everfree Northwest. He remembers that he did a reading of one of my stories, but can't remember which one. I go through to my stories, and go back and find The Stars Ascendant.
DO YOU KNOW WHAT LAST WEEK WAS? DO ANY OF YOU REMEMBER WHAT LAST FRIDAY WAS? BECAUSE I JUST REMEMBERED RIGHT THIS SECOND AND I CAN'T BELIEVE I FORGOT.
So, some of you who follow Pen Stroke may or may not have noticed that he posted the last two chapters of The Road Home within the last day. I'm down to the last chapter myself, but the second to last one caused me to stop for a little while to discuss something, as well as give an update on what's going on with my stories and how The Road Home will affect them.
My sister entered the room without knocking, and caught me reading the Kama-Sutra out loud to my hand-carved, fuck-ugly wooden Beethoven bust.
The fuck-ugly bust in question
I was at the part where the book explains how to get rid of a lover you don’t want anymore.
