Season 8 Episode 1&2 the Friendship School · 4:41pm Mar 24th, 2018

We all know that the King of Ducks is going whine about how evil the new season of MLP is being and how much better Starfleet would be. Because you know: The Alicorn nazis from outer space have been known so much so far about how well their education system works. Being able to not even identify a simple robot when it attacks a place or lacking common sense.

Anyway, lets talk about something fun. The new season opener. Which in my opinion was overall okay.

First Fimpressions: "Horse Play" · 10:46am Apr 29th, 2018

Now the season is starting to hit its stride! It's rare for us to get more characterization of Princess Celestia, but it's hardly ever unwelcome. Our lives rarely pan out how we desire them to, and given Celestia's status, it's easy to see how her desires for acting never panned out.

The Writing of The Bonds of Love (Chapter Three: Expression) · 6:20pm Mar 25th, 2023

Ahh, Ch.3(Expression). Or as I like to call it: The chapter where I finally figured out what the heck I was doing.

Look, I was writing a story about Gallus receiving therapy for his trauma, his friends’ reactions to learning about his breakdown, and the blossoming romance between him and Silverstream who was going through her own breakdown, all while trying to work themes of identity, personal growth, paranoia, self-worth, family, and the classic “Coming of age” trope into the narrative.

The Writing of The Bonds of Love (Chapter Four: Optimism) · 1:34am Apr 2nd, 2023

Alternate titles: Pessimism, Paranoia — Didn’t choose either, preferring to name it, not after Silver’s problem, but rather the solution to it.


Before I begin discussing this chapter properly, I just wanna say I feel so bad for Silverstream. I put her through so much crap in this story, it’s not even funny. But that begs the question why Silver’s story-line became what it is. To answer that we must first discuss what this chapter could have been.

"The End in Friend" Review: When the Background is more interesting than the Foreground · 1:15am Aug 19th, 2018

I'm sorry for this awful, negative title. :facehoof: I still love this episode, for the reasons you can read about below, but coming up with titles is something I suck at a lot and I just couldn't think of anything better. :facehoof:

Analysis is Magic: Will Chancellor Neighsay become Equestria's Most Dangerous Enemy of All Time? · 12:26am Jul 15th, 2018

A few days ago, I was rewatching "School Daze" to give the episode some more thoughts, because there is quite a lot to see in it and a lot that invites you to deeply think about it. One sentence in particular stuck out to me:

"Everypony should be prepared to defend our way of life."

"The Hearth's Warming Club" Review: How the Student Six saved Hearth's Warming (for Gallus) · 2:59am Aug 7th, 2018

This is it! The kind of episode I have waited for! Finally, for the first time ever since "School Daze", we got a proper, 100% Student Six episode again! And it delivered in the best way possible!
Not only is it another Hearth's Warming Eve episode, something Season 7 did not offer to us, we also learn a lot about the lives of Sandbar, Gallus, Yona, Smolder, Ocellus and Silverstream and about the culture and traditions of their homelands!

"Sweet and Smoky" Review: Garble and the Parallels to Earth's Worst Dictator · 6:03pm May 26th, 2019

This episode almost made me spill my drink on the screen. The reveal that Garble is Smolder's brother came quick, efficiently and merciless. Even after missing the first few minutes of the episode, and therefore all that talk about how Smolder's brother is a softie like Spike, this plot twist still blew my mind. Smolder isn't anything like Garble, how can two dragons who are so different be siblings? One of these apples definitely fell far from the tree. And knowing Garble and looking at his

"Marks for Effort" Review: Cozy Glow · 3:42am Jun 3rd, 2018

Review for "Molt Down" will be written in the mid-season hiatus. Last weekend was the Grand Galloping Gala in "Legends of Equestria", so I only saw the episode once and couldn't do more with it, due to attending the Gala and some after-Gala stuff over the last week.




This week's episode has finally done it! A thing that I've been waiting for ever since "School Daze" aired:

A proper, Friendship School-focused episode!

"School Raze" Review: The Most INTENSE Season Finale Ever · 12:08am Oct 15th, 2018

The season finale has arrived..... And, wow, was this an INTENSE Finale! I hardly know where to begin..... Cozy Glow turning out as a villain and as plain evil, Chancellor Neighsay turning out as the lesser evil and even getting overthrown by Cozy Glow, Cozy Glow's brilliant and flawless plan where she thought on absolutely everything, how she got everypony on her side by simply acting charming, nice and adorable, Tirek as evil mentor pulling the strings from the background, the initial

"The Parent Map" Afterthoughts: Equestria has Silly Fillies! · 11:31pm May 6th, 2018

- I already loved the first few moments of the episode, because we finally saw the Crystal Empire again! It's a place we unfortunately get to see rarely, the last time where there was a real focus on it was during Season 6 in "The Times They Are a Changeling"!

[SPOILERS] The Synopses for Episode 11, Episode 12 and Episode 13! · 3:13pm Jun 8th, 2019

We have three new synopses, for the last three episodes of the first half of Season 9! And I'm in a completely hyped frenzy about all three of them!
They hint at things I have long hoped to see, things that imply a looming tragedy and at things that will prepare the future.
I put my thoughts about them under the automated page break to avoid spoilers.

I have already made one analysis of the Season 9 Trailer, but there are a few smaller moments seen in it that also offer room for speculation. There isn't much that can be extracted from them, so I put them all into the same entry.

"School Raze" Afterthoughts: Cozy Glow, a Traumatized Filly who seeks Safety and Protection from Abusers? · 1:05am Oct 28th, 2018

A few days after the Season 8 Finale aired, I was sitting down and pondered about it why Cozy Glow did all the things she did and why she wanted to take over Equestria.
I was one of those who did not believe that she is evil and found myself surprised over it that she is a villain. However, even with that turnout, I still don't think that Cozy Glow is actually evil, so I thought about why she did all that and what her exact motives were.
